Di Wanyuan has not thought of Yuan Baoyi for a long time. He has a virtuous wife and a noble family. His wife has become pregnant recently. Although he has not yet won the lottery as he wished, in his eyes, it is only a matter of time.
He had also heard some news about Yuan Baoyi, and heard that her business was very big. But no matter how big it was, businessmen were always looked down upon - unless she could make her business as big as that of her cousin Yuan Baoyi.
In that realm, when he enters an official career, he cannot have a wife who likes to be a public figure in business.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Baoyi would actually get involved with his second brother.
Didn't she agree to this marriage because of him? What if she deliberately went to Jiang's side and told Jiang that there was no such thing, so that Jiang could separate from him...
Thinking of this possibility, Di Wanyuan couldn't sit still.
He randomly selected a vase and asked his servants to place it next to his wife. Then he mentioned the matter to Jiang, seemingly unintentionally, "Second brother heard that the marriage has been decided. Do you know about this?"
Jiang has an ordinary appearance but a gentle and approachable personality. She said: "My mother also told me and my sister-in-law that I will send two copybooks as gifts."
The copybook she was talking about was certainly not an unknown work. Jiang's dowry was definitely not as large as that of her elder sister-in-law, but when she got married, she brought with her many solitary books written by her family members. No one in the house would look down upon her because of this.
When she, Jiang, married in, she was quite satisfied with her current life. Her husband and she were very close, and even though she was pregnant, she never thought about taking a concubine. Although her mother-in-law preferred her sister-in-law, she never interfered in the affairs of their yard.
, he never set any rules for her. Compared with other married women, her life can be said to be very smooth.
For the sake of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she is also willing to give more respect to the second sister-in-law who comes through the door.
Di Wanyuan frowned, "I heard that the second young lady of the Yuan family is doing business in public, and the second brother has become a scholar this year, so he is instinctively looking for someone who is more qualified."
Jiang said: "She is the sister-in-law of Princess Wei. Princess Wei loves her very much and often takes her with her when entering the palace. No one can fault the Yuan family's etiquette and rules."
The ladies around Su Yueling all came from the Queen Mother's palace. Who dares to criticize the Yuan family's upbringing? When Jiang entered the palace, she also saw Yuan Baoyi. She was beside the princess, generous and generous, with pure eyes. Compared with those who are so evil-minded.
, Jiang is more willing to get along with such people.
Di Wanyuan said: "How come I heard that the second bedroom of the Yuan family has a bad relationship with the eldest bedroom, and they have stopped communicating with each other a long time ago."
Jiang said with a smile: "That was so many years ago. We were all relatives with broken bones and connected tendons. Even if there was a conflict, it would be fine if we talked it over. I saw that the princess liked the second young lady of the Yuan family very much, and she often said
She took it with her. This time the marriage was proposed, the princess nodded and approved."
Di Wanyuan pinched his fingers into the palm of his hand, and they actually reconciled... Do Yuan Suijun and Su Yueling know what he once did?
Thinking of this possibility, Di Wanyuan became uncontrollably frightened. Yuan Suijun was already the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel before he was thirty. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that sooner or later he would become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. By then, all officials would be promoted
Everything has to pass through his hands. If he wants to make things difficult for him, he doesn't even need to do it himself, because others will share his worries.
His first reaction was to ruin the marriage, but when he thought of Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun, he gave up.
"Husband?"
Jiang's voice brought him back to his senses. He twitched his lips and showed a pale smile, "I'm just happy that my second brother is about to get married and start a family. I'm thinking about what gift I should give him then."
Di Wanyuan was wondering whether he should find a chance to meet Yuan Baoyi. If things between the two of them got into trouble, she would be the one to lose face.
Because she shouldn't agree to the marriage just because she still thinks about him.
No matter how many thoughts Di Wanyuan had in his heart, he could not prevent the two families from discussing the marriage in an orderly manner.
The two families quickly checked their horoscopes and exchanged Geng Tie. Then Yuan Baoyi also began to prepare her own dowry.
So far, she has a total of four skewers shops and three dessert shops in the capital. Although it is hard work, she makes a lot of money. Together, she can earn two to thirty thousand taels a year. It is only the money earned by her second house.
They were all used to buy shops, and the money saved was not much.
Yuan Shouzheng only had such a daughter, so he naturally wished her well. After he inquired about the dowries of the other two daughters-in-law of the Di family, he was determined to use all the shops and fields at home to make dowries for Bao Yi, so as not to be
Let’s compare it to my sister-in-law.
Yuan Baoyi refused directly. She and Su Yueling said: "You can't empty out your whole family just to get married alone. You have to leave something for my parents."
She thought that the three stores she and Yuanhang had jointly opened could be taken as dowry, and at least half of the fields purchased by her family over the years should be left for her parents.
Yuan Baoyi did the math and found that her dowry was nearly 10,000 taels, counting only the shops and fields. It was not shabby by any means.
Su Yueling said: "Don't spend money on furniture. There is so much wood furniture in the warehouse that we can use it. There are all kinds of mahogany, rosewood, and pear wood. You can save me some time by moving some away."
"No need for jewelry."
She has a lot of jewelry piled here and there, most of which she doesn't like, so she just leaves some for Bao Yi.
Yuan Baoyi said: "Then I will shamelessly take advantage of my sister-in-law."
She was thinking that if she opened a new store then, she would give her sister-in-law more dividends. Yuan Baoyi had already started thinking about opening a few more stores outside the capital.
Su Yueling asked her, "Has your future mother-in-law told you where the house will be for you after the separation?"
Yuan Baoyi didn't hesitate and said: "There is a house with three entrances over there on Beilu Street." In fact, a house with two entrances is enough for living, but Yuan Baoyi also knows a family like the Di family, so she probably thinks that two entrances are very useful.
Don't take action.
Su Yueling pondered for a while and said: "Beilu Street, let me think about it... Hey, I seem to have a house over there, I forgot how big it is."
Biyu found a list for her, and Su Yueling looked at it and saw that the house had also been entered three times. She directly asked someone to find out the title deed of the house and said: "Those three entries into the house are considered as additions given to you by your eldest brother. What are you doing?"
How much money should I prepare for the side pressure box?”
Yuan Baoyi said: "Three thousand taels." Her parents originally wanted to give them five thousand taels, but she gave them back anyway.
Su Yueling waved her hand and said: "Then I will add seven thousand taels to make up to ten thousand. This is considered as an extra gift from me. If you don't even have ten thousand taels, I will be embarrassed if you tell me."
Yuan Baoyi:……
From my sister-in-law's side, I'm afraid it doesn't count for less than 10,000 taels.
Aunt Zheng did the math, and the second bedroom prepared it herself, plus the dowry prepared by the first bedroom... By then, the dowry can be said to be very decent. Not even the ladies of the Marquis Mansion in the capital can have such a generous sum.
Aunt Zheng led Yuan Baoyi around the warehouse. Yuan Baoyi thought that beech wood would be enough. Aunt Zheng said: "You should at least choose rosewood. If beech wood is used, Madam will think it is not up to the standard. When the time comes,
If she had to choose by herself, she would probably just choose huanghuali wood."
Yuan Baoyi discovered that this was really done by her sister-in-law.
Aunt Zheng said: "There happens to be a complete set of red rosewood here in the warehouse. If you like it, please write it down."
In the end, Yuan Baoyi chose the red rosewood furniture that Aunt Zheng mentioned. When she walked out of the princess's house, she was still in a daze: other people's daughters had to go through a lot of effort to prepare their dowry, but here, she had to
I tried my best to look at my sister-in-law and tell her not to put on makeup. If I say this, not many people would believe it, right?
