Chapter 434: Dowry and Dowry

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Baoyu left the Lin family and told Mingyan not to tell anyone what happened today, and then went home directly. When Mingyan saw that Baoyu didn't cause any trouble today, she put down the big stone hanging in her heart and hurriedly agreed.

When Baoyu returned home, he heard a quarrel coming from inside his yard before he entered his yard. He couldn't bear to hear this the most and was about to turn around and leave immediately.

"Second Master is back, why don't you go in?" The person who spoke was none other than Qingwen.

Almost all the thoughtful people in Baoyu Courtyard are related to Baoyu, and among the big girls, only Qingwen keeps herself clean.

Qingwen couldn't stand the jealous atmosphere in the courtyard. After a few quarrels, she couldn't control it and often found excuses to go out to play.

If you come back now, you must have lost all your money and come back to get your capital.

"What are you going in for? It's noisy inside every time there's a break." Baoyu said in annoyance.

"Just wait until Second Grandma Bao comes in." Qingwen didn't care at all. She also knew that despite the impatience on Baoyu's face, her temper would change immediately after she called her sister again.

Baoyu didn't get angry with Qingwen and went into the room and lay down on the bed directly.

Immediately, Xiren, Sheyue and Zijuan gathered around to congratulate Baoyu and Baochai on their marriage. After congratulating for a while, except for Baoyu turning inwards, he didn't say a word in response.

The attacker asked: "Second Master, something unpleasant happened to you."

"No."

"There must be a reason why you are like this, right?"

Qingwen heard it from the side and sneered and said: "What could be the reason? You, a virtuous man, really don't know what Baoyu is thinking."

How could you not know?

It's just that Daiyu's temperament is not in the interests of these people. Daiyu was a bit short-tempered when she was in Jia's house, and she was intolerant of words. Baoyu would not refute Daiyu's words in the slightest.

They are determined to be Baoyu's aunts. If Baoyu and his second grandma are inseparable and listen to her words, then what will happen to these aunts?

Compared with Baoyu, Baochai is more in line with their interests. Baochai has a good temper and is kind to these maids.

There was only one person who looked disappointed, and that was Zijuan. If Daiyu could marry Baoyu, it would be the greatest benefit to her.

Jia Baoyu only felt that a good-looking woman suddenly became disgusting. Why was she so stubborn all day long just because of a trivial matter? But he was reluctant to give up these sisters.

Whether you want to give it up or not, Baoyu's opinion is not that important at all.

After receiving Yuanchun's edict, the Jia family did not delay and began to prepare for Baoyu's marriage.

"Girl Feng, I'll leave Baoyu's affairs to you."

As for the second bedroom, Li Wan is a widow and is not suitable to be involved in marriage matters. In the whole house, Wang Xifeng is the most suitable person, and Jia Mu has to leave the matter to her.

Wang Xifeng didn't want to refuse, but she didn't agree straight away. She helped Yingchun arrange the marriage, and there were still many lawsuits that were not resolved, including Mrs. Wang's secret obstruction.

If Mrs. Xing knew, I don't know what would happen.

Jia Mu is well aware of family affairs. It can be said that the two families have actually separated and each is living his or her own life.

"I won't make it difficult for you. The expenses for Baoyu's wedding have been prepared. I will let Yuanyang open the warehouse and move the things to your place."

Wang Xifeng quickly stopped: "Old lady, you should leave the things here at Yuanyang. I will send someone to pick them up when needed."

Who doesn't know that Jia Mu has prepared a lot of good things for Baoyu a long time ago. These things are hot potatoes. Wang Xifeng will not cause trouble for herself.

Yuanyang glanced at Jia Mu and gave the list to Wang Xifeng. Although she had known that Jia Mu had prepared many good things for Baoyu, she was still a little surprised.

The bride price is 10,000 taels, and there are also various clothes and jewelry for the first hire, a total of 108 pieces of silk and satin for official use, 108 sets of clothes for the four seasons, 40 pieces of gold and silver jewelry, and all jewelry.

These things were nothing to Jia Mu who had not returned the money she owed. After returning the money she owed, it was difficult for Jia Mu to take out these things.

Although those clothes and jewelry are certainly not new, they are still expensive.

Wang Xifeng was not jealous. Sooner or later, these things would be confiscated from home. The only difference was whose home they were confiscated from.

Finally, Jia Mu explained: "I'm afraid it'll be too late to make new ones. I'll just ask the sewing room to have the clothes altered as long as they are usable. People like us don't wear clothes made by outsiders anyway. What's left in my hand is already

There are not many left, and there are only so many people who can give Baoyu a betrothal gift. Ask Yuanyang to come out with three thousand taels of silver as a wedding fee. If it is not enough, ask the second wife to add more. If the second wife dislikes what I give, ask her to give it to her.

Take the body and buy it somewhere else."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "What's wrong with the things our ancestors gave us? You can't buy them even if you have money, so naturally the second wife won't dislike them."

Jia Mu waved her hands, feeling a little tired, and let Yuanyang help her lie down, saying, "Even if I dislike you, there's nothing I can do about it."

Seeing that Jia Mu was tired, Wang Xifeng stopped disturbing her and went straight back to her residence.

Jia Lian was waiting for her at home, talking about the Spring Festival dowry.

"These are the dowries prepared by the master for my second sister. You can fill them in for her."

Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian had a strange look on his face and asked, "Second Master, I didn't prepare properly. I haven't prepared these things before. Even if there is something wrong, we can just help to correct it."

"It's not inappropriate, you can see for yourself." Jia Lian smiled bitterly.

Wang Xifeng took a brief look and knew why Jia Lian had such an expression.

"Where did you get these things from? There are too many of them."

The dowry that Jia She prepared for Yingchun was indeed beyond her expectation. According to Wang Xifeng's guess, it would be good to prepare a dowry of five thousand taels for Yingchun.

But there are not only a few good dealers in the capital, but also 50,000 taels of silver in the box.

It was several times more than what Jia Mu prepared for Baoyu.

Jia Lian said: "Why do you think the old lady often has ideas about me? It's because she is interested in my private house. Most of my private houses are left by my great-grandmother, and those few houses are all my great-grandmother's private houses."

When Jia Lian spoke, there was an envious look in his eyes.

"How can Master give up?"

"So what if you don't want to give it up. If you don't give it to my second sister, these don't belong to our family." When speaking, Jia Lian was still a little frustrated.

"The master is always worried about having his house raided, but our family has done nothing, so we can't ask for a favor from the emperor, even if we don't want this title. It's better than being so worried."

"I don't know where to go. Who knows what the old lady and the second wife did, so that I don't even have the thought to resist."

This was also what troubled Jia Lian the most. Even if his home was to be ransacked, he had to be clear about it, but Jia She didn't let it slip at all.
