Eight hundred and sixtieth eight chapters sun makeup
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhong showed an expression of sudden realization - no wonder Mr. Jiang was talking with a gun and a stick today. The reason he dared to be affectionate was because his third brother took a concubine.
This third brother usually looks like a good wife, but he is also a beauty at heart - she remembers that the maid in Qingqiu is quite beautiful, at least much prettier than the second brother and sister. Although her husband has no future, and has no fame until now,
But at least he was nice to her, and he didn’t have the habit of flirting with flowers. Her mother-in-law was always kind, unlike other mothers-in-law who liked to give their daughters-in-law concubines, and her yard is still very quiet to this day. The third brother and sister are also stupid, and in the third
The third brother looks virtuous in front of her, but he vents his anger on them. He has the ability to go back to his parents' home to complain. The third brother still has to rely on her parents' family, so how can he really dare to offend her?
She has such a good hand, but she lives her life like this just for the sake of her reputation as a virtuous person. Mrs. Zhong really looks down on her third brother and sister. If she dares to get angry at her third brother, then she still respects her as a human being.
When Ms. Jiang heard Mrs. Di's words, she became even more angry. Wasn't the reason why she agreed to raise Qingqiu as her aunt forced by her mother-in-law?
The husband hurriedly told her yesterday that he had received news that the mother-in-law was selecting beautiful maids, and he was afraid that she would have to use the excuse that she had no children (Jiang had given birth to a daughter before) to send two maids over. Then
At that time, Mrs. Jiang only felt that the sky was thundering. It would not be easy to get rid of the aunt given by her elders in the future. She might also rely on her mother-in-law to keep things from her. If she was not careful, trouble might arise. Especially her mother-in-law specially selected a maid with outstanding appearance.
, isn’t this intentional to separate the couple?
Jiang gritted her teeth and had no choice but to take advantage of Qingqiu one step ahead. Qingqiu was charming and charming, and the whole family's marriage contract was in her hands. Even if she became pregnant and gave birth to a child in the future, she would not be afraid of causing trouble to her.
She tried her best to show the same gentle smile as before, "I am now looking forward to Qingqiu giving birth to a son for our father as soon as possible."
When Mrs. Zhong heard this, she couldn't help but stab her, "If I had known that the third brother and sister were so virtuous, I should have gone to have a drink to celebrate when the wine was served yesterday." She originally wanted to praise Qingqiu for looking like a child.
She is easy to give birth to and will definitely make her younger siblings get what they want. But as soon as the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back. If she really said that, the aunt would probably become a thorn in the eyes of the third younger siblings. The maid was nothing else.
The choice is beyond your control, so don't cause trouble for her.
She did not continue to look at Mr. Jiang, but turned to Mrs. Di and said, "Mom, we should also prepare some hot soup and rice. The dowry bearers will arrive later."
The day before the wedding, there was a process of showing off the makeup. Mrs. Zhong had long heard that the second sister-in-law was favored by Princess Wei, so she thought that the dowry would be very generous, which would open the eyes of the servants in the palace and prevent them from underestimating the second sister-in-law.
Jiang didn't care about a piece of dowry. When she got married, the dowry was not as rich as that of her sister-in-law, but she brought a lot of calligraphy and paintings. In Jiang's eyes, the value of calligraphy and painting is more valuable than gold and silver.
Mrs. Di arranged the stove for Mrs. Zhong, and she felt relieved that Mr. Zhong could do the work. Mrs. Zhong went to work in a hurry.
Half an hour later, the dowry bearers also arrived. Along the way, the long dowry queue also opened the eyes of people along the way.
"Good fellow, have you seen the lump of earth that was carried? How many fields and shops did the Yuan family marry? The dowry box is really big, and it is all made of mahogany, and the furniture is all made of rosewood."
"What does this mean? Those shops are the most profitable. I have heard that the second daughter of the Yuan family used most of the shops for dowry."
"What do their families think? They don't just inherit a son, but leave everything to their daughter as a dowry? Isn't this a benefit to the son-in-law's family? Who will provide for them in the future?"
"Hmph, who said daughters can't support them in old age? My aunt gave birth to two sons and a daughter. My cousin is not raising her yet. My cousin works in a textile factory. One of her can endure more than five sons."
"That's right, Miss Yuan Er is so filial, how can she treat her parents badly in the future?"
In awe, these dowries were carried to Di Wanhang's yard and laid out, which also opened the eyes of the servants in the house.
Judging from the number of dowries, Yuan Baoyi's dowry was 108 dowries, which was less than the eldest wife Zhong. But after the box was opened, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
This dazzling jewelry is packed to the brim, almost full. In other stores, so much jewelry could be divided into three dowries.
Open another box - good guys, it's full of rubies, jade, mutton-fat white jade and other pearls and jade, and the quality is very good. I don't know how many donut noodles can be made from these.
Three thousand acres of fertile land, two three-bedroom houses, a hot spring village, three large shops...
I thought that the new second mistress would be considered a member of the Yuan family, but the two families had long since separated. No matter how large her dowry was, it was impossible for her to have more dowry than the third mistress who came from an official family. Who knew she was so rich, even more than the eldest mistress?
Just by looking at these, you can tell that there must be a lot of money in the box. This second master has married a golden hen.
When we opened the box to the back, everyone thought they were amazed, but when they saw the box of secret-color porcelain in the back, they were all speechless.
Although secret-color porcelain is now available on the market, the price is not as high as in the past when one could sell for several thousand taels. However, due to limited production capacity, it is not a problem to sell a secret-color porcelain plate for more than 500 taels. Others’
The secret color porcelain is decided on a case-by-case basis, and Yuan Baoyi's side is directly a large box.
When they saw the last box of books, everyone calmed down. It was just books.
Jiang couldn't calm down anymore and couldn't help blurting out, ""Gu Yi Cong Shu" and "Begonia Spring"?"
She saw these two books at the top. Both of them were long-lost, orphaned books, and Jiang only read fragments of them from some books.
The servant of the Yuan family who was counting the dowry said: "The princess has obtained many unique copies in the past two years, so she asked someone to write some for the second lady as a dowry."
In the past two years, libraries have been built in various places. As many families share their books, there are more and more books in the library, and the reputation of the royal family in Qingliu is getting better and better. Su Yueling is the one who takes it.
The person who invented the improved papermaking method naturally received a lot of praise.
The initial pride in Jiang's heart was suddenly shattered. Although the Jiang family has many books, they can't compare with Su Yueling and the royal family.
She looked at the dowry and felt that everyone's eyes were looking at her vaguely. They were probably not watching her joke. She brought those books as if they were treasures when she entered the house, but Yuan Baoyi didn't know what they were.
She is much more.
In fact, this is just Jiang's own overthinking.
She couldn't sit still anymore and found a reason to leave.
