Hai Lao Guogong thought for a while and nodded: "Just do it." ”

After a while, a column of mermaids carried dozens of large camphor boxes with red lacquer, and they were neatly arranged on the ground according to their numbers.

Hai Lao Guogong walked to the first box with the golden word "Jia San" on it, and beckoned to Hai's: "Jiao'er, come and see." ”

The old woman understood something in a trance, and without help, she walked tremblingly to the box. The old man slowly opened the box. Han Oak stretched out his head, and saw that in the huge box, there were only a few clothes and a small box empty.

But when Mrs. Hai saw those clothes, she didn't care about her manners, and reached out to hold those clothes in her arms and cried bitterly.

The sixth old lady couldn't bear to see her sister sad, and wanted to come over to comfort her, but was stopped by the old man: "Let her cry, the tears will flow out and your heart will not be depressed." ”

After Mrs. Hai cried for a while, he patted the old lady's back and coaxed: "Okay, Jiao'er, stop crying!" If you cry again, your body won't be able to stand it, and your father and mother will make you cry when they see me underground, and they have to trouble me again. ”

This box is a relic of Hai's predecessor, Hai Guogong and his wife. Hai Lao Guogong pointed to the box of things and said to Mrs. Hai: "This is a few commonly used clothes and utensils for my father and mother, as well as a few pieces of jewelry for my mother. ”

He pointed to dozens of boxes with the word "C" on them: "These are all things in your room after you leave, and my mother will let you pack them up later." You see, even your comb is missing. ”

Dozens of boxes were opened one by one, and the contents were dazzling. There are countless garments of all colors, and the luster of silk still shimmers despite the passage of decades; There is a box that I think is the name lock worn by Mrs. Hai from childhood to adulthood, various styles, from small to large, neatly sixteen; There is a box of all kinds of jewelry, hairpin ring jewelry, when the box is opened, it is still flashing, dazzling; There are also various makeup mirror boxes, rouge gouache, and sesame oil lipsticks used by boudoir daughters, but they have all dried up and cracked; There are also calligraphy scrolls, pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and even incense burners, bells, cups, plates, bowls, kites, paper kites, and kites, which are all inclusive.

Mrs. Hai walked past the boxes one by one, with a melancholy look of nostalgia, and finally sighed and ordered, "Close them all." "Closing the time when she was young and gone.

After Mrs. Hai sat down again, Hai Pan picked up a thick and broad book from the butler who was waiting on the side and handed it to Mrs. Hai: "Auntie, this is the dowry that grandmother prepared for you back then, and it has been sealed for forty-three years since you left. I am fortunate to see the light of day today. ”

Mrs. Hai was teary-eyed: "Brothers, I have collected the relics of my parents, and I have also collected the playthings of my youth: I have left them for Dipping clothes and Qingdai to play." It's just this dowry, how can I have the face to accept it? I haven't been married to anyone in three media and six appointments, and I still hope for any dowry! Besides, now my daughters and sons-in-law are all filial, and they have never shortened my food and drink, and whether I have a dowry or not, they all treat me the same - what should I do with the dowry? ”

The two thick eyebrows of the old man raised his eyebrows: "Nonsense! How can you not take this dowry?! You are the concubine of the Hai family! This dowry was given for you by your mother from your birth. If you are not there, let it rot in the storehouse, and you will not use it for any other purpose! This dowry is your dignity as the daughter of the Hai family! You don't need it, you can give your niece and daughter, give clothes and oaks, it's always your heart as an elder. Besides, after all, this is the kindness of my father and mother, how can you not want it? Mother wants to scold you for being unfilial! ”

Master Hailiu also persuaded: "Jiao'er, you just accept it, this is what you deserve, the dowry of the eldest sister and the second sister back then was far inferior to yours, and now they still support their two clans." How can our Hai family lose their own flesh and blood? ”

He thought for a while, picked up the dowry book and flipped it over: "I remember one year, I took a fancy to the scenery of Dongting Lake, and wanted to come and live in our villa by the lake for a few days. But my mother told me that the courtyard and the thousands of acres of fertile land by Dongting Lake were prepared for you as a dowry. Is it still there now? ”

Hai Pan said with a smile: "Yes, there have always been people in charge of that villa, and there are thousands of acres of land over the years," he turned to a certain page and pointed out: "It has accumulated year by year, not only this item, but also the interest of twenty-six shops for my aunt, after accumulating a certain amount every year, it will be transferred to Haihui Money Village for storage, and then invested in our family's business to earn interest year by year." It's been that number all these years. ”

He turned to the last page, and there was a number: one hundred and seventy-five thousand two hundred thirty-one taels.

Sun Zhang Yangqiang couldn't help but didn't make a sound, but Li Haizhu screamed in surprise. Old Madam Hai sighed: "Half of this silver will be left for the Hai family—after all, it is the Hai family who pays up and down." Pan'er has bothered over the years, and fifty percent of them will be kept for you to marry a daughter-in-law. I know the rules of the Hai family, my son only gives 50,000 taels of silver to marry and divide it, and in the future, he will be born and old, and he will have to raise his daughter-in-law and children, and start a business, what is this 50,000 taels enough for! You're a good boy, and your aunt will keep you a little more. Twenty percent of the stewards and boys who take care of these industries are my reward for their hard work over the years. The rest, for my father and mother to repair the grave for sacrifice, I don't know how many times I can come back, and I can give my father and mother a few more graves, this bit of silver, can be counted as a little filial piety of mine. ”

Hai Lao Guogong sighed: "That's the case, let's do it." Pan'er, I haven't come to thank your aunt! ”

Hai Pan bowed down and gave Mrs. Hai a deep salute: "The child thanked his aunt for the reward!" Thank you for the reward of your aunt for the sons below! ”

From beginning to end, whether it was the Hai brothers and sisters or Hai Pan, they were all understated, and they were not moved at all, as if they were talking about not hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but only a matter of dozens of taels of silver. You must know that the country's annual tax revenue is only more than 3 million taels a year! The income from these dowries alone is one-third of the country's annual income! What is the concept of the thousands of acres of fertile land by Dongting Lake? The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, the fertile land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is usually twenty taels of silver per mu, the land by Dongting Lake is fertile and beautiful, and the price of the field will never be lower than that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how much is this thousand hectares of land worth?

Only then did Han Que really realize what the gap was. After the shock, he was already numb, anyway, he knew that his rice worm would die if he ate gold every day

Mrs. Hai opened the book and said, "This villa is still reserved for the sixth brother, don't you like the scenery there?" Sixth brother, don't excuse me—I'm afraid my body won't have a chance to live in this courtyard again. I gave it to you, and it was my sister's thought for you. Master Hailiu nodded and accepted it with tears. When Mrs. Hai saw what she liked again, she assigned it at will: "Take this white bear skin to the eldest brother, this is what my father hunted on the iceberg over there in the early years, and it should be left for the eldest brother." This warm jade bed was moved back to Haizhu, Haizhu is weak, and it is good to sleep in this bed; This one is for the clothes, and this one is for the oak."

Han Oak and Dipping Clothes have become a little rich woman with a net worth of hundreds of thousands of taels. The clothes are still ignorant, but Han Oak is well aware of the heaviness of this money. You must know that now there are 350,000 silver that can be regarded as a rich man, for the sake of the Sun family's family property, Aunt Lin, mother and daughter, Wang and others are still calculating in every way, if they know that this gold mountain is in front of them, they don't know how they will be blushing. When the time comes, won't you and your clothes be coveted like a big piece of fat? I have to talk to my dad about this, I can't reveal the news, and I just want to make a fortune in my own silence.
