Sure enough, Mrs. Shang continued with more and more passion: "Later, the two parties decided on the marriage, but the Wang family made a request that all the betrothal gifts must be taken away by the bride as dowry."
"Huh? Anjia agreed?" Isn't this unreasonable?
This is not to say that there are no women in Beijing who take the betrothal gift as a dowry, but there are quite a lot of them. Generally, some respectable people will not neglect the woman’s betrothal gift, but will also add a lot of it as a dowry.
Regardless of whether it is to strengthen the relationship between the two families through marriage, or to truly love the daughter, dowry is the confidence of a woman after she gets married, and it also shows the attitude of the mother's family towards the married woman. People who want to show their dignity will do it decently.
However, these are things that we both know and wish for, so to put it out in the open seems to be philistine and cheap.
It's no longer a business, the meaning is completely different.
Mrs. Shang took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of disdain, "You can't agree. If you don't agree with them to settle down, they will lose face."
The girl has a big belly, what else can she do if she doesn’t agree?
The Minister Qi was still young at the moment, and no matter how rough Mrs. Shang was, she would not talk about her burial in front of an unmarried girl.
He just gave Mr. Qian a look that said, "You understand, I understand."
Qian Shilang received the call in seconds and silently said "oh".
Both of them thought that the communication between each other was very secret, and both thought that the little girl next to them simply didn't understand anything. One of them had already written tens of thousands of words in his mind, and the other continued.
"That old witch is very partial. She only favors Miss Wang Qi. Before this girl from the Anji family has married, she has already set her sights on the dowry of the girl from the An family. She even said that the dowry will be transferred to the government.
.”
Even the well-informed Qi Baoer and Qian Shilang said: "..."
Is this crazy?
Since ancient times, a woman's dowry belongs to her personally. Otherwise, how could the dowry be a woman's confidence?
"Because of this matter, the Wang family has already made a fuss about splitting up. The old witch also knows that she can only rely on a few children and grandchildren in the future, so she shouldn't go too far, so she doesn't dare to bring in any more dowry.
Public affairs."
"She and Miss Wang Qi both wanted to get into the East Palace, and the dowry would be indispensable. There was no way to get married here, so she turned around to get married to the Jin family."
The two friends are so in sync that they can't even express their feelings.
Miss Wang Qi wants to enter the East Palace?
How dare the Wang family have such a dream?
His Highness the Crown Prince is twenty-nine years old. Normally at this age, most men would have already married a wife, taken concubines, and become a father. But our Highness the Crown Prince is so strange. Not to mention that there is not a single concubine in the East Palace, but all the people serving him are...
Not a single woman.
It once made people wonder if his hobbies were different from those of normal men.
What's even more strange is that the emperor is never in a hurry.
Even if we put aside the above point, His Royal Highness is the future emperor of Qilin Kingdom. Can it be casual for a woman to enter the East Palace?
At the very least, these points must be ensured:
1. Outstanding family background;
2. Have both ability and political integrity;
3. Outstanding achievements in the country;
Fourth, outstanding appearance.
As for Miss Wang Qi, she doesn't care about any of the above three points. Only her looks have a chance of winning.
But what's the use of just having a good look in the East Palace?
Miss Bai is much prettier than Miss Wang Qi, and she is only two years older than Miss Wang Qi.
If His Highness the Crown Prince was really such a good-looking person, Miss Bai family would not be the current Madam of Liangzhong.
Then the Bai family still has an uncle's house with military power.
Let’s talk about turning back to the Jin family.
Isn't this even more ridiculous? The Jin family themselves are always trying to pick on each other among their relatives.
Mrs. Shang's expression was a little strange. She couldn't tell whether it was contempt or incomprehension. She said, "The old witch won't let the Jin family come to their wedding banquet, but the gift money will come."
Now the two friends didn't know what expressions to put on.
Just——Mom, open the door, I’m outrageous.
One person despises that others will embarrass him, and the other person wants gift money from others. Is this because he is so poor that he has no food to eat and has to ask for it?
Mrs. Wang, what kind of creature is she?
Has she ever thought about the consequences if this behavior is known to outsiders?
Not to mention that the Wang family would be disgraced, even her most beloved Miss Wang Qi, let alone entering the East Palace, might not be acceptable to ordinary people.
"You, the Minister, went to the Ministry of Revenue to have a quarrel with Wang Shangshu today. By such a coincidence, Wang Shangshu fainted after your Minister left. Why didn't you give that old witch a chance?!
I don't even want to lose face. I blocked the palace entrance and said that it was your minister who beat Wang Shangshu. The grandfather and grandson sang and drank, and talked over and over again with the same idea. Pay for it."
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
She has also met many wives in Beijing over the years, and she knows a lot about the affairs of the back houses of various houses.
The Wang family's incident was quite a big fuss at first, and the reason why it didn't spread everywhere was because those who knew about it didn't keep their mouth shut and saved face for the Wang family.
Of course, it was also directed at Wang Shangshu.
Regardless of the real relationship between Wang Shangshu and the old witch, the stepmother, they are still a family. If the Wang family's reputation is ruined, Wang Shangshu will not get any good.
It's not worth it to offend every minister by talking nonsense.
Just because he doesn't gossip around casually doesn't mean he's easy to bully.
Your Wang family blocked the entrance of the military department to ruin her reputation as husband-in-law, and threw the Shang family's face to the ground and stepped on it. Why did she keep your Wang family's face?
Mrs. Wang would never have thought that the Shang family, whom she thought was easy to bully, and Mrs. Shang, who she thought was the most stupid person in the Shang family, would block the way for Miss Wang Qi, whom she had the most hopes for, to enter the East Palace.
Whether he is an emperor or a quasi-emperor, his pride and authority do not allow his subjects to provoke him.
The emperor and the prince can choose their concubines at will, but your subjects cannot spy on them.
Which of the six films does not include the emperor and the prince?
What Mrs. Shang said today will reach the ears of the emperor and the prince in less than half an hour.
Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good-looking person, even if you, Miss Wang Qi, are born into a world-famous country, Mrs. Wang will never think of giving someone else's dowry to Miss Wang Qi as a dowry. It is impossible for Miss Wang Qi to be associated with the royal family in her life.
relation.
Not just the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, but the entire royal family.
Because the Jun family of the emperor's family couldn't afford to lose that person.
Qi Bao'er and Qian Shilang had already guessed that Mrs. Shang had a purpose, but they didn't expect that she would be so stunning. For a moment, Mrs. Shang seemed to have done nothing and was just chatting with others, just to see the werewolf.
vision.
Cruel, too cruel.
Mrs. Shang achieved her goal and waved her sleeves without taking away a single cloud.
The minister was speechless for a long time when these two "unexperienced people" were "purely used".
After a while, Qian Shilang suddenly picked up the melon seeds and ate them fiercely.
While spitting out the melon seed peels, he said, "If I don't eat up this plate of melon seeds today, I won't be able to sleep at night."
It takes a lot of energy to perform a play so that people in the dark don't notice that it's an act.
Qi Baoer looked at him speechlessly for a moment, then silently reached out and grabbed a handful of walnuts.
