Chapter 221: Dowry
Mr. Hu is not an ordinary bookkeeper. Read the novel
He is the head of the bookkeeper of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Take care of all the accounts of the Jiang family.
Their family has achieved his generation, which is already the fifth generation, and has served five town princes.
Mr. Hu readily agreed.
The two went to the hall.
Li Qian wore a royal blue five-bat Hangzhou silk with longevity flowers in a regular manner, and his handsome face was filled with a bright smile, which was brighter than the early summer sun.
"Grandpa Xiaoguo!" he respectfully saluted Jiang Lu and had a humble attitude, which immediately made Mr. Hu feel good.
Jiang Lu nodded, sat on the Taishi chair in the middle hall, and casually pointed to the Taishi chair at the bottom of the head, signaling him to sit as well.
Li Qian sat on the Taishi chair with a smile and introduced Xie Yuanxi to Jiang Lu: "...... My staff. ”
Mr. Hu noticed that he was using "my" staff, not "Li family" staff, and couldn't help but nod secretly.
Jiang Lu also introduced Mr. Hu to Li Qian.
Li Qian greeted Mr. Hu with a gentle attitude and talked about his intentions.
Jiang Lu was a little surprised, he thought that with Li Qian's pride, he would rather grope in secret than come to him, he was a little dazed for a while, and he really couldn't think of a person who could be borrowed to the Li family for help.
can stretch and bend, what the big husband does!
Mr. Hu felt better about Li Qian, and he asked Li Qian: "I don't know if the eldest aunt wants to take care of the people in the inner house or the people who entertain visitors?"
To be introduced to him by Jiang Lu so cautiously is definitely not an ordinary servant.
Mr. Hu immediately became the Jiang family that Li Qian felt should be conquered, and he was very cautious about Mr. Hu's mentions.
"If there is a candidate, both the inner and outer houses need to be helped. He laughed, "If there is a shortage of people, the outer house is more needed than the inner house." ”
The outer house receives the people on the scene, which is naturally more important than the inner house.
Mr. Hu said implicitly: "I'll ask Mrs. later, see if there is a suitable candidate on Mrs.'s side, and then reply to my eldest aunt." ”
Li Qian hurriedly thanked him, and seeing Jiang Lu's expression, he decided that it would be better to provoke him less at this time, and exchanged a few words with Mr. Jiang Luhu, and then got up to say goodbye.
Jiang Lu and Mr. Hu returned to the account room, and Mr. Hu couldn't help but praise Li Qian.
"Do you mean to speak well of him like this?" Jiang Lu couldn't help but smile, "I didn't do anything to him?"
Mr. Hu said with a smile: "He is already a member of the Jiang family, isn't I praising him just praising our Jiang family? ”
After that, Mr. Hu went to Mrs. Fang's.
Mrs. Fang was sorting out Jiang Xian's dowry there, knowing that Li Qian was going to find someone to help, hearing Mr. Hu praising Li Qian, thinking that this family business might be better than they imagined, her heart was slightly calm, and she smiled: "Then let Dongyue help!" Although he has no main affairs, he is familiar with the legal code, and he is the person who was personally transferred/taught by Gonggong Liu, and Jianan also told me that he wants to keep Liu Dongyue by his side, and in the future, Dongyue will have to help him run errands, so it is better to let him be familiar with it from now on. Whether he can seize this opportunity or not depends on his own creation. ”
Mr. Hu also thinks this arrangement is good.
"As for the inner house, I think it's better to let Mama Yu go. Mrs. Fang muttered, "This woman is married, and most of the time she still stays in the inner house, rather than trying to find a way to clean up those people in the future, it is better to give a disappointment at the beginning." Jianan got married, and it was more comfortable. ”
Naturally, the affairs of the inner house are handed over to the woman.
Mr. Hu felt that since Mrs. Fang felt that it was necessary, it would be better to follow Mrs. Fang's wishes.
The two discussed, and Mr. Hu personally led the person to Li Qian.
Knowing that Mama Yu was Mrs. Fang's personal grandmother, Li Qian was very surprised, and after thanking her, she began to use Mama Li unceremoniously: "...... My father bought a house on West Street, not far from the Datong General Soldier's Mansion, and bought more than 20 maids and daughters-in-law from the tooth shop. ”
Mama Yu respectfully agreed, and after returning to Mrs. Fang, she followed Liu Dongyue into the newly bought house of the Li family, and began to work with the managers of the Li family.
Mrs. Fang was very satisfied with this, and said when she talked to Jiang Xian: "I heard Mama Yu say that the Li family was afraid that you would marry someone in Taiyuan and there would be no one to talk to, so they bought the house on West Street, and you can often come to Datong when you are fine." ”
Jiang Xian felt that this marriage was too extravagant.
The Li family must be rich, but this money can't be spent like this.
In the future, Li Qian will expand the army and raise a private army, and some places will spend money.
I think that back then, when she was made the queen, the dowry was only two hundred taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of satin, 100 catties of tea, 20 horses, 40 idle horses, 20 pairs of panniers, etc., a total of only 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, and now the Li family has not been hired, so they bought a house to repair the ancestral hall, and they have spent no less than 20,000 taels of silver.
She couldn't help but say, "Did you bring the list hired by the Li family?"
"Not yet!" Mrs. Fang joked to Jiang Xian with a smile, "Don't worry, your dowry will definitely be more than their family's dowry." ”
At this time, the amount of the man's dowry usually represents the importance of the woman.
Jiang Xian had the intention of holding a simpler wedding, but Mrs. Zhifang looked very interested, and still swallowed the words that came to her mouth - it was just a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver, if you can make the people in the family happy, spend it, and find a way to earn it back later.
Li Qian is really worried about the dowry.
According to Li Changqing's meaning, the dowry will be 2,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, and the rest will be purchased according to the rules of hiring women from wealthy families in Jiangnan.
Since it is a dowry, it has to be carried in a wedding box.
Of course, you can't use a silver ticket.
But with so much silver, the inventory of all the silver buildings in Datong can't be made up.
It is necessary to unite several silver buildings and go to Taiyuan to transfer.
Taiyuan is seven or eight days away from Datong.
Moreover, the transfer of so much silver cannot be silent, and it is bound to attract thieves and robbers from all over the world.
At that time, how to transport the silver from Shanxi to Taiyuan has become the biggest problem.
But the dowry was too small, and he felt wronged by Jiang Xian.
Xie Yuanxi said: "Or, let's discuss with the Jiang family, change it to five hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, and replace the others with silver tickets?"
"Let's transfer silver taels from Taiyuan!" But after a moment of hesitation, Li Qian immediately made up his mind, "I can't do this thing well, so let's talk about Shanxi! Just let me see who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head and rob our Li family's things." ”
His expression was calm and calm, but he gave him a rock-like tenacity.
Xie Yuanxi was slightly stunned, and said: "It's okay! A few days ago, when you went to visit the old department of the adults, some people disobeyed the yin, some people scoffed, and some people pretended to be deaf and dumb, and they had long forgotten the Wei He of the Li family, and it was good to take this opportunity to give those people a long memory." ”
Li Qian sent the list of dowry gifts to Mrs. Fang, who temporarily lived in the Qi family.
Mrs. Fang was taken by Jiang Lu before she could see it clearly.
His eyes fell on the list of dowry gifts and jumped up: "****, Li Qian, do you think the courtyard of the Datong General Military Mansion is too thick? This dowry gift is here, don't say that we are married, we can be so busy receiving those thieves every day that we don't even have time to breathe! No!
