As a result, Chang Tianlei's marriage was quickly settled.
The choice of his wife was revealed, shocking everyone in the capital. Except for a few insiders, no one would have thought that General Chang would choose the daughter of a sixth-grade official as his grandson-in-law. The gap between the identities is also huge.
A bit too big.
Of course, it also made many people feel frustrated. If he had known that General Chang liked the grassroots and had such a unique taste, a large number of candidates would have been sent to him. It is really discouraging to get a small person who has only been in Beijing as an official for a short time.
.
In Dong Jisheng's social circle, of course many people envied him, and all kinds of congratulatory posts were sent to him. He also received congratulatory gifts from many people.
But Dong Jisheng was aware of his family's plight, and Dong Jisheng felt really guilty at this moment. If he had known it, why would he have done it in the first place? Every day when she saw him forcing a smile outside and sighing when he came back, Mrs. Lin secretly spat, "She deserves it."
After being instigated by the Liu family, he wanted to give his precious daughter away as a concubine. Is this what a father should do? Now he not only offended General Zhenyuan's Mansion, but was also unpopular with General Chang. As an in-law,
Dong Jisheng did not get any glory from the general's mansion. Therefore, as soon as Dong Jisheng returned to the mansion, he often found trouble and reprimanded Mrs. Liu in front of Mrs. Lin.
This made Mrs. Lin secretly happy, but she did not show any of her happy emotions. And she gradually felt that the quarrel between Dong Jisheng and Liu was deliberately shown to her, just to let Dong Yuzhen talk more in front of General Chang.
After a few good words about Dong Jisheng, Mrs. Lin lost interest in watching the show. She was busy taking care of the dowry for her baby daughter, and had no intention of watching the performances of Dong Jisheng and Liu.
Although most of the dowry Mrs. Lin prepared for Dong Yuzhen came from her own private house and the dowry she obtained from the public servant was her daughter's due, it still made Mrs. Liu and Dong Yuyao jealous.
Mrs. Lin is the only daughter of Mr. Lin. Although she is a concubine, the dowry given to her is not inferior to that of some legitimate daughters from aristocratic families. Therefore, she has a lot of good things in her private treasury. Some of them are from the Liu family.
A royal treasure that no one has ever seen before. No wonder her eyes turned red with jealousy.
"Oh, my sister is really generous. The eldest lady is so lucky." Mrs. Liu came to the main courtyard where Mrs. Lin was sitting, with sour gas in her mouth and said in a strange voice.
"It's just old things from the past. I packed them up and took them out to fill the dowry box. The main reason is that the betrothal gift sent from the General's Mansion is precious." Mrs. Lin said without raising her eyes. She knew that Mrs. Liu was jealous, but that
So what, if you dare to scheme against Dong Yuzhen's marriage, you deserve to be unlucky.
I heard that these many good things were sent by the General's Mansion. Doesn't that mean that the General's Mansion attaches great importance to Dong Yuzhen? By visual inspection, these things must be enough to make a dowry of one hundred and twenty sets. How impressive is this? This kind of thing
Why didn't good things happen to my daughter? She is obviously the most outstanding daughter in the family, isn't she?
Mrs. Liu returned to her yard with jealousy in her heart. When the servant brought tea, she put it in her mouth without looking at it, almost burning her tongue, "You bitch, do you want to burn me to death?"
"Pop" and "pa" twice.
The little maid's face was swollen, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth. She must have been broken in her mouth as well. You can imagine how much effort Mrs. Liu used to take out all the anger she suffered from Mrs. Lin on innocent people.
of people.
"Go away, it's bad luck to see you." After kicking the little maid who was kneeling in front of her, Ms. Liu felt much better.
The little maid did not dare to say a word after being wronged, so she had no choice but to hold her arm that was so painful from being kicked and lower her head out of the room.
"Mom, who made you angry again?" Dong Yuyao walked in, just in time to see the little maid walking out. She looked at that face clearly. She knew it was her mother's "masterpiece".
Ever since Dong Yuyao made friends with some wealthy ladies, she was very disgusted with Mrs. Liu's behavior of always beating and scolding her servants. She saw that those noble ladies would not be as vulgar as Mrs. Liu even if they punished their servants, so she
He often reminded Ms. Liu to pay attention to her identity.
It's just that Ms. Liu has gotten used to it, and it's hard to change for a while. When she saw her daughter coming in, she must have seen it, and said a little embarrassedly, "It's still these careless servants, my mother's tongue was almost burned."
Dong Yuyao knew as soon as she heard that her mother had vented her anger on someone else again. "Are you okay now? My daughter will ask someone to bring some cold food." However, after all, she is her mother, so it is not easy to undermine her.
.
"No, no need." Ms. Liu shook her head.
"Who were you angry with just now?" Although Dong Jisheng had a quarrel with Mr. Liu, Dong Yuyao knew in her heart that it was only temporary and her father was still on her mother's side.
"You're not that Mrs. Lin, who shows off your power in front of your mother just because she got married," Mrs. Liu said bitterly.
It turned out that it was all caused by the dowry. Dong Yuyao was actually very jealous, but in the past two years since she came to the capital, she had gained a lot of experience following some of the ladies, and the city was much deeper than before. She was no longer the one who just casually
The country girl's emotions showed on her face.
"Mom, why do you have to argue with her about this? She just got lucky for a while. With such a big difference in family status, how can the dowry be paid for with just that little bit of money? It's just a joke." For Dong Yuzhen to have such a skill
Dong Yuyao secretly resented the good marriage. The plot against her as a concubine had already made her very unhappy. If it weren't for her own other plans, she would have wanted to interfere with Huang Dong Yuzhen's affair.
Dong Yuyao's vision is very different from before. Since getting involved with Prince Qi's Mansion, she has also seen the wealth and splendor of the royal relatives. She no longer pays attention to those ordinary officials, but she also knows
Due to my own lack of background, I have always kept a low profile and learned a lot about how to behave and deal with some ladies of the world. I just wanted to find opportunities to show my face in front of some royal relatives.
And she already has a goal in mind, not just one. One of them is Prince Qi. Ever since Dong Jisheng rescued Prince Qi’s son, Dong Yuyao has also seen Mu Qingqi several times, of course, only secretly from a distance.
Eye.
Even so, Mu Qingqi's style fell into Dong Yuyao's eyes and could never be seen again.
She approached the ladies of the Lin Mansion because she actually wanted to get some news about King Qi from them. However, she disguised herself very well and did not let anyone discover her intentions. Otherwise, just the people in the Lin Mansion would be able to
She gave him a harsh lesson.
The other one, as her alternative, is Mu Qiyue. In Dong Yuyao's view, it is okay to have no power but money, but it is best to have a lot of money. As soon as Mu Qiyue's identity as the owner of Muyue Trading Company came out,
This attracted her attention. Moreover, with the rumors about the relationship between Lin Zhu and Mu Qiyue, Dong Yuyao paid more and more attention to Mu Qiyue.
So, without Lin Zhu's knowledge, there were two women drooling greedily at her man.
"Mom, it's not all because of you." Mrs. Liu said angrily. She fought hard for the right to take charge of the backyard of the mansion just to gain more property for her children.
Moreover, most of the Dong family's finances were subsidized by Liu's natal family, so she was unwilling to support Lin, mother and son.
Although it was a bit biased, Dong Jisheng had to admit that the Liu family, which had not declined, really gave him a lot of financial support, so even if the Liu family fell, in his heart, he still put the Liu family before Mrs. Lin.
Dong Yuyao did not completely believe Mrs. Liu's words. She knew that the facts were not as what Mrs. Liu said. In Mrs. Liu's heart, her two sons were the ones she cared about. After so many years of being a housekeeper, Mrs. Liu had accumulated a lot of experience in private.
Most of the wealth is reserved for the two brothers.
But she was not stupid enough to debunk Liu's statement.
"Yao'er, you must find a better family than the General's Mansion in the future to fight for your mother's reputation." Seeing Dong Yuyao's silence, Mrs. Liu warned from the side.
"Don't worry, mother, my daughter will work hard." Although she said this, Dong Yuyao looked down on her mother in her heart. How could the best candidate fall into her hands easily? She already had little hope based on her own identity.
.
After Dong Yuyao sat with Mrs. Liu for a while, she got up and left. She also knew that the relationship with Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen was very bad, so she didn't go forward to find the person who was uncomfortable. After all, it only made her feel jealous.
That’s all.
She would not do such an unpleasant thing.
In fact, there was another person who was not very comfortable with Mrs. Lin's generous dowry for her daughter. That was Dong Jisheng, the head of the Dong family.
Without the financial resources of the Liu family, Dong Jisheng would not feel stretched, but he did not have as much money as before. And he did not dare to hand out the betrothal gift sent to the Dong family by the General's Mansion, so he felt a little depressed.
But although Mrs. Lin saw Dong Jisheng's thoughts, she ignored him. She still insisted on acting according to her own thoughts.
As Dong Yuzhen's best friend, Lin Zhu should actually come to buy a box for her. But she also has another identity, that is, Dong Yuzhen's sister-in-law. Therefore, her gift of adding a box is particularly noticeable.
In order to support Dong Yuzhen, not only Lin Zhu came, but also Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan. Not to mention Wang Qingyan, even Zhang Manyun's identity was outstanding enough. The legitimate daughter of the imperial physician's family was also very important.
As a gift to add to the box, Zhang Manyun gave a pair of pure gold bracelets with blooming flowers. Wang Qingyan gave a gold hairpin with butterfly flowers. Although the two items did not look outstanding at first glance, anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are.
They are all in-house treasures that ordinary people have never even seen, let alone owning them.
All kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Dong Yuzhen suddenly came over.
However, when the most anticipated gift from Lin Zhu appeared, everyone was silent. It was a set of emerald heads and faces, so green that just by putting it on the table, you could feel the greenery overflowing.
.
This is no longer envy and jealousy. Many people want to be transformed into Dong Yuzhen so that they can have that beautiful color. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
