Chapter 74 One hundred and eighty liftsOne hundred and twenty-eight lifts
As for the one hundred and twenty-eight dowry boxes, the ordinary boxes would naturally not fit in them, but they had them all re-customized and made twice as big.
The Duke's wife directly took her daughter to check out the dowry she had prepared. However, she also picked out the betrothal gifts sent by the palace and Prince An's Mansion and left the best ones for her daughter.
Luo Jingyao looked at the oversized box and her eyes widened in shock. It was probably twice as big as the usual dowry boxes! And none of them could be buckled, and they were piled high.
There were only two oversized boxes packed into the farm floor and other items, and I didn’t know if the dowry bearers could lift them up.
"Mom, you didn't install all these things for me, did you?"
"Where are you going now? Your grandpa sent a box of money, I put it together." The Duke's wife didn't agree, and thought it was missing. And the old lady herself was afraid that she would be wrong, so she changed it into a banknote, otherwise
, the daughter’s dowry is more than 200 yuan, or even more.
"Sister, come and see, this is the dowry that the four of us have put together for you. We have given you one hundred and eighty pieces. Mother, please add these fifty-two pieces to it." Luo Jingzhou shouted.
He led his servants into Luo Jingyao's dowry warehouse carrying an oversized box.
He was afraid that someone would take the opportunity and they would not be able to add a dowry to his sister. Fortunately, they had time and only a small portion came out of the private treasury.
Behind them were Luo Jingkong and others who looked helpless.
"This is against the rules." The queen only has 200 units, but she is pressurizing 180 units. Isn't this just a way to attract hatred?
"What's wrong with the rules? You are marrying a prince, and in the end you are a princess. 180 is not much at all." Luo Jingzhou said unconvinced.
"This is too flamboyant." Luo Jingyao just wants to be a rice insect and come here to provide for her old age.
"Keep it," the Duke's wife said to her daughter.
"But mother, if there is a princess in the future, and her dowry is not as large as mine, I am afraid that people will hate me and the Duke's palace."
"Silly boy, if you like you, whatever you do will suit you. If you don't like you, no matter how well-behaved and dignified you are, they will always find something wrong with you. Therefore, it is true to live a free and happy life. Love first.
Love them yourself." Madam Guogong saw it very clearly. She naturally knew that this would be publicity, but sometimes being a little more publicity can protect the people you want to protect.
"These rules are really too big. We'll give you the rest of the box money, so you can buy what you want to eat, and don't worry about what you want to wear." Luo Jingzhou said carelessly, taking the half-sized box from the boy's hand,
Pass it to Luo Jingyao.
When Luo Jingyao opened it, there were neatly numbered banknotes inside. The smallest was a thousand tael denomination, and there were two thousand taels. Luo Jingyao was shocked when she saw it. When she was short of money, she would go to the battlefield.
.
Luo Jingkong, Luo Qingxue, and Luo Zhiqing made the same move.
Luo Jingyao had already received the money and was numb, with an expressionless face.
"Madam, our ancestors sent someone to deliver this." Lan Gu took the box handed over by the little girl below and handed it to the Duke's wife.
The mother and son all stared at the box, wondering what was inside?
When he opened it, he found that the things inside were exactly the same as what Luo Jingzhou and the others had given him. They were all banknotes. It seemed that these were the packing money for Luo Jingyao.
Knowing that they had prepared enough betrothal gifts, they directly exchanged them for banknotes.
Grandpa Gu Houye knew that King An did not have much money to support so many soldiers. Whenever the court delayed food and salary, King An's soldiers were paid for by himself.
I'm guessing my money is tight, but I can't let my granddaughter be wronged.
Luo Mingwu also received a box of money from his ancestor, but the amount was more than half less than Luo Jingyao. The old man was also particularly partial to the one he loved.
But this was a big surprise for Luo Jinzhong and the Chu family. They didn't expect that their ancestor would add money to their daughter.
Luo Mingwu's dowry, including the Chu family's subsidy and the father's middle school, was 128, but the box was an ordinary box. Luo Jinzhong was very dissatisfied because the Song family's betrothal gift was not much, but his daughter
But they took away so many people at once. This is not to help the poor. What is it doing?
"You can't show everything you have in front of others because people are separated from each other. You must have some backup for yourself." Mrs. Chu taught her daughter.
"Mom, don't worry, I have everything planned out." Luo Mingwu nodded, she was not stupid, a woman's dowry was her confidence, she was harmonious, progressive, loving, and she was willing to help, but if she just talked
For her dowry...
Song Ting's mother and son are not that kind of people.
"As long as you understand." Mrs. Chu was very worried about her daughter. The family she wanted to marry was too ordinary. There were so many people in the capital and everywhere, so it was not unusual for Song Ting to be a person, and there was nothing surprising about it. But looking at Dai
Mrs. Chu felt distressed again for her daughter who was wearing a veil. She saw several doctors and prescribed many medicines, but they just didn't work.
Why didn't you think of it then?
But Song Ting is pretty good, I hope she won't be disappointed.
"Madam, Miss, this is the money that the Duke's wife and several young masters bought for Miss." Liangchen and Meimei came in holding two boxes.
Before Chu could open it, Luo Jinzhong opened it three times, five times and two times five times.
"Stingy, then Luo Jingyao's must be much better than our Mingwu's. And with this face, it's pretty good." Luo Jin looked at it inside and out again.
"It's already quite a lot. Some of them still remembered that Ming Wu sent the money to press the box, but what did Wen Bai do to Luo Jingyao?" The difference is too big. If you don't know, you will be shocked. This is also a warning.
Why are the sons of the Duke of Guo so different from each other?
"How can it be compared? Wen Bai doesn't have Luo Jingkong and others fighting on the battlefield. Naturally, he doesn't have as much money as others. Da Fang has already taken advantage of him, so they won't have any objections." Luo Jinzhong didn't.
I thought he was satisfied, but also quite disgusted with it.
"Back then, the Duke wanted to take Wen Bai to the border with him. It was you and the old lady who insisted not to take him away. Now you are saying that he has plenty of money, but he has money to buy with blood." Mrs. Chu said on one side.
Collecting the banknotes, he lowered his head and said to Luo Jinzhong.
When she counted carefully, she found 20,000 taels of silver. Each of the brothers paid 5,000 taels. In addition to the 5,000 taels given by her ancestors, she paid 1,500 taels for her daughter. The money for her daughter's pressing box was also
I paid 40,000 yuan.
"You are a cruel woman. You don't feel bad for your own child. Is the battlefield accessible to everyone? Can it be a good place to go?" Luo Jinzhong didn't think so. He wanted to take a merit test.
Isn't it good to be a civil servant? Why go out to fight as a military general? If you accidentally get hurt, you can't be the one who gets hurt. Getting hurt is a trivial matter. If you lose your life, you have nothing. Besides, there are people in front of you who are earning credit.
Wouldn't it be better for them to sit back and enjoy the gains?
