Chapter 33 Selling the Dowry
"I've seen Madam He," Shen Qingrong happened to come to find her sister and asked her how she was doing today. The little girl was a little worried about having a good meal recently, which made her very anxious.
And as soon as she came, she saw Madam He.
"Sister is here." Madam He was tidying up Shen Qingci's clothes. When she saw Shen Qingyuerong, she laughed, "Our eldest sister has grown up and is also a big girl. It must be a promise, right?"
Shen Qingrong blushed directly, lowered her head, looked at her toes, and didn't know where to put her hands.
However, Shen Qingci shaved his face, and it was obvious that the person was making fun of his sister.
The shy Shen Qingrong really wanted to pinch her little face. This little heartless person really hurt her in vain.
Did the eldest sister come to find our sister? Madam He didn't tease Shen Qingrong anymore, and she naturally liked Shen Qingrong. Now that she has adopted the name of his lady, she can also be said to be her lady's child. No matter what, she is still her lady's family and cannot tolerate others bullying her.
"Yes, I'll come to her to eat. She hasn't eaten well recently."
"A Ning has a good meal," Shen Qingci climbed directly onto Madam He's lap, and then touched her belly. She didn't eat much recently, but she was full. She didn't move. She went out as if she didn't have any feet. She was either hugged by her father or by Madam He. She couldn't walk by herself. She was already four years old, not two years old. Although she was younger, no matter how young she was, she was four years old. How could there be four-year-old children that were still held every day.
"Our sister has a good meal, but she has to go to digest food." Madam He tidied up the small bag of hair on Shen Qingci's head, then hugged her and put it aside, squatted down, tidied her clothes in person, and then asked Shen Qingrong to take her out.
As for what Madam He can do to repay the work, she has been busy taking care of her sister recently, and she has not taken time to do it. She also took advantage of this to do it. She asked the madam to look at the yard and went to find Shen Dingshan by herself.
This is the dowry list of my lady. Madam He held a few pages of paper in her hand. At that time, she was also liberation and keeping the case. When the Lou family married their daughter, there were so many dowryes. Everyone knew that the Lou family was rich enough to rival the country. Of course, the Lou family had the property of the Lou family. After all, the Lou family only had the only one daughter like Lou Xuefei.
"General, I want to take over these dowry myself." Madam He looked at the dowry list in her hand. She originally thought that she could give them to the lady in person in the future, but now, it is...
But she respects the lady's wishes.
After we count these, we will turn them into cash and use them for use by the general.
"Madam He, did you really decide to do this?"
Shen Dingshan naturally understood what Madam He meant, but these things were left by his deceased wife, not because of how much money he had, but because these things were all his thoughts about his deceased wife.
"This is what the lady means," Madam He also felt distressed, but she could not disregard Lou Xuefei's last words. General, please use it. When the war is really in progress, if these things are to protect the general's life, then it is considered that my lady has a magical power. As long as the general can be fine, she can give my sister a support. What are these external things?
Chen Dingshan waved his hand, "Just do what you said."
Madam He turned around and walked out after a bow.
Now, those who are looking at the dowry are still from the second house of the Shen family, but there are seals on the door. No matter who is it, they can't move those things. Although the people in the second house of the Shen family are staring at each other every day and are all jealous, they still can't move that thing at all.
Madam He called someone and opened the door directly. She also carried the boxes one by one. When she carried them, Mrs. Shen came over. Every time she lifted a box, she felt so distressed. Every time she lifted a box, it was like she wanted to dig her flesh and drink her blood. She quickly turned around and couldn't see it anymore. She couldn't stand it anymore. If she continued to look, she might really be exhausted and died.
Madam He registered all these dowry, and in the end she only left three boxes.
"Master, I've taken stock of it," Madam He put the list in front of Chen Dingshan. "These are the dowry of the wife back then. In addition to the land we cannot move, we have to pay for raising a family, there are also these three people left to my lady for the three children, and they will be used when the children get married in the future."
Then I sold these dowry, but some things still couldn't be moved. The mansion also had to eat, drink, and live. There were so many people to raise. Others, such as gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade, and famous calligraphy and paintings, were sold.
Yes, just sell it.
Chen Dingshan stood up and did not get the list. Now the court can no longer produce much military rations. How could he not know how many soldiers are still hungry? In fact, there is not much silver in the general's mansion. Most of the money in the mansion has been paid into military rations. If there is still no silver, he will not know how many people will die.
He couldn't bear to see, and he couldn't bear to worry. He was a general, he took them to birth and birth, he asked them to go out to save their lives, and if they wanted to have a stomach, they wouldn't have enough food. How could he be right to the soldiers who had been born and died with him?
He felt guilty and had no face. He had to rely on his wife's dowry to support his family. He wiped his face. He was sorry for his deceased wife. Not only could he not let her live a peaceful life, but he also wanted to make her feel worried for him. Even if she was gone, he would give all the dowry to him, just to keep him safe.
Madam He retreated, and she sighed again. As soon as she looked up, she saw Shen Qingci standing not far away. The little man stood with his head tilted, and his big eyes blinked from time to time. Yuxue was so cute that it really made people want to pinch her little face.
But without these dowry, her sister would have lost the Ten Mile Red Makeup.
Shen Qingci ran over and hugged Madam He's legs.
"Mum is not afraid. A Ning will make a lot of money. A Ning will kiss her like a mother, giving the money she earned to those uncles and uncles and dress them in warm cotton coats."
Madam He squatted down and hugged the child's small body in her arms.
"Well, my sister is like a mother, just as kind as she is, and just as kind as she loves the world, and just as much as a man."
General Chen sold all the dowry of his deceased wife and received as much as million taels of silver. He used all of this as military pay, bought food and grass for the soldiers, and bought them new clothes.
