Yue Yao returned to Lanxi Courtyard and opened the first red phoenix to wear a peony box. At the top is the dowry list. Yue Yao looked at the dowry list of twenty tilts of fertile land, four shops, and two real estates. However, the deed contained in the box contained fifty hectares of fertile land, seven shops, and three real estate.

Yueyao was stunned, and asked someone to call Mother Deng: "What's going on?" Yueyao knew that although her grandmother loved her, she would never give more. Moreover, the other 30 hectares of land are still in Jiangnan, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, rich in products, and many large families in the capital also buy land in Jiangnan. However, good land is hard to come by.

Mother Deng confirmed Yueyao's guess: "Girl, when Madame was alive, she managed well and doubled her dowry. If he hadn't returned to Jiangnan, he wouldn't have closed the two shops he opened. However, these fields are in Jiangnan, and they are a little troublesome to manage after they are handed over to the girl. ”

Yue Yao looked at the dowry list and didn't say anything.

Mother Deng was worried and said: "Girl, the fields in the south of the Yangtze River are too far away to manage, and I am worried that the village below will be slippery." In addition, there are several shops in the capital...... "Where can the nine-year-old child of the Emperor Yuan of the Mountain Emperor be managed, but he is reluctant to sell it." It is most appropriate to ensure the harvest of the fields during drought and flood, and it was also a good opportunity to buy these fertile fields at that time, and it is not easy to buy them back after they are sold.

As for the shop, that's more troublesome. The girl doesn't know how to do business, and she can't even read the account books, so how can she manage these shops.

Yue Yao shook her head: "Don't worry, forgive them for not having the guts." "She is fatherless, motherless, and her uncle and aunt are unreliable, but her uncle and cousin are reliable. Those bankers don't have the audacity to deceive. As for the shopkeeper, Yueyao is not worried.

Of course, Yueyao is so confident because she now has the identity deeds of these people in hand, unless they collect the money incognito, there is only a dead end waiting for them.

The other box was full of deeds. Yue Yao opened it and took a look, except for Peng Chun's deed with Liu Da and Liu Er, other Yue Yao was not allowed to know. Yueyao looked at these deeds and smiled, with the deeds in hand, she could also calm Yueyao's heart.

Yue Yao said after half a ring: "Mom, spread the news." Let everyone know that I have taken my mother's dowry back. In addition, let Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law come and see me tomorrow after breakfast. "Yueyao spread the news of the dowry, which also gave everyone a bottom in their hearts. The purpose of summoning those daughters-in-law was to tell them that the deed was in her hands, so that they would not have crooked hearts.

The news that the second lady's dowry had been returned to the third girl spread throughout the mansion as quickly as possible. Everyone said that the old lady was too spoiled by the three girls, how could a nine-year-old child take such a large amount of money to keep it. Shrewd people all guessed that the third girl had made a move in the middle, otherwise how could a good old lady do such a foolish thing.

Yueying got the news, Yueyao got her mother's dowry back, and her eyes glowed green. I heard that the second aunt's dowry is extremely rich, with one hundred and twenty-eight lifts. Originally, the mansion was rumored to have a huge amount of money on the three girls, but now they have this large amount of dowry, and they can't get red makeup for ten miles when they get married.

Cai Qing whispered, "Girl, it's time to serve the old lady." Cai Qing looked at the appearance of the eldest girl's hands holding them, and sighed slightly in her heart, saying that envy, jealousy and hatred are better to say that the third girl will be reincarnated, and the third girl will be reincarnated in the second lady's belly. My own girl's life is not good, and she is reincarnated in Aunt Chen's belly, so she can only bear it.

Cai Lan muttered: "The three girls are really rich, no wonder they eat bird's nest ginseng every day as if they don't need money!" "Yueyao's Lanxi Courtyard is very tightly controlled by Hao's mother, but no matter how tight Yueyao is, what she eats every day will still leak out.

The rumor that bird's nest ginseng is not good for money every day is unreliable, but it is true that Yueyao will take supplements every once in a while in order to lay a good foundation for herself. Yueyao never felt that there was anything wrong with this, not only that, but she also picked up good food to eat.

Yueying took a deep breath, trying not to let people see anything unusual. She had to hide her emotions, and her grandmother would be upset to see her like this. All she can rely on is her grandmother, and she can't lose her grandmother's favor.

Yuehuan got the news and sighed at the accuracy of Aunt Su's guess. My aunt had this guess before, but I didn't expect it to become a reality.

Aunt Su took the health tea brewed by the maid, drank half of it and put it down: "It should be said that it is not the aunt who is powerful, but the third girl." So easily got back the second lady's dowry. Aunt Su originally thought that there would be some twists and turns, but she didn't expect the third girl to achieve her goal so easily.

Aunt Su frowned, did there happen in the middle of this that the lady didn't know. Otherwise, the old lady would not have handed over the second lady's dowry to the third girl innocently. The third girl looked at her quietly, but she had done so many things in private, and she achieved her goal quietly. When did the three girls become so powerful, if this continues, no one will have a good life.

Aunt Su is too familiar with Madame, and Madame will not give up. The lady will definitely try to get her hands on such a large sum of money when the time comes. When the old lady leaves, the lady will definitely plot against the three girls. But from the point of view of now, the third girl is doing it step by step, and the lady must have all kinds of scruples at that time, and it is very difficult to calculate that property.

Aunt Su looked at the moon ring who was immersed in practicing calligraphy, and her worry was even heavier. When the time comes, she will definitely be involved in it, and it is likely that her daughter will not be spared. Aunt Su looked at the puzzled Yuehuan and sighed in her heart, if her daughter had half of the means of the three girls, she would not be worried.

Lian Dongfang came back and went back to the main room to change clothes first, and Mo naturally told Lian Dongfang the news. Lian Dongfang knew the news, and his face was very light: "These dowries were originally for the second room, and my mother did this in case someone said that we were greedy for the dowry of the second brother and sister in the future." That's good now. With that, he went to the upper room.

Mo is angry, although she has long known that as long as the old lady does something, her husband will say that it is good, even if the old lady refers to the deer as a horse, her husband will never say that the old lady is wrong. Mo Shi felt very sad in his heart, why didn't the husband and wife for so many years miss him once.

Yueyao and Yueying saw Lian Dong Fang coming, and automatically gave way. Lian Dongfang stayed on Yueyao for three seconds, then walked up to the old lady and said, "Mother, is it better today?" ”

If she didn't have the experience of her previous life, Yue Yao would definitely not think much about Lian Dongfang's performance. But now, Yue Yao felt that Lian Dongfang looked at her with dissatisfaction just now. It's just that grandmother is here and she is not good at expressing it.

The old lady waved her hand to let the two granddaughters go down, and after the people went out, she told Lian Dongfang about today's events: "Fang'er, the decision I handed over to Yue Yao for the second daughter-in-law's dowry was also made after careful consideration. The Ma family married a good daughter-in-law, and the Ma family will get better and better in the future. These dowries are handed over to Yueyao, even if Yueyao herself falls in the future, there will be no disputes in the future, if it is handed over to your daughter-in-law, the Ma family is not well managed, and the reputation of the family will be damaged when the time comes. "With Mo's person, what comes into her hands will definitely have to be stripped of a large piece. If it was according to Yueyao's previous temperament, it would naturally be fine, but now it is not so easy to fool. If such a thing happens in the future, it will be the son and the two grandsons who will be affected when the trouble comes out. In this case, it is better to cut off the source.

Lian Dongfang nodded: "Mother, I know." You don't have to worry about these things anymore. You can just tell me to do these things, and if it doesn't work, you can wait for me to come back and deal with it. Lian Dongfang also knew that Ma Chengteng loved Yueyao very much, and his brother-in-law had a life-saving grace for Ma Peng, so the Ma family would not let Yueyao suffer a little grievance in Lian's mansion. Once there is a dispute over the dowry, the Lian family will definitely be embarrassed when the time comes, and his mother is also for her good.

The old lady saw that her son understood her and felt comfortable: "Okay, everything will be handed over to you in the future." "The old lady didn't mention Mo's, the old lady never said anything bad about Mo's in front of Lian Dong, and she didn't say a word about the things that Mo's did. But not mentioning it doesn't mean that my son doesn't know, and many things can be done in his heart.

Even Dong Fang has always known that his mother has always disliked Mo's, and he hasn't liked it since he entered the door, so he didn't mention Mo's in front of the old lady. He has long known who the husband and wife Mo are for so many years, and he knows most of the things that the Mo family has done, but he has not crossed the line, and for the sake of the two sisters-in-law, he has to protect her face.

Ruolan waited for her father-in-law to come back with her husband and said about it: "The dowry list has not been checked on the spot, father-in-law, do you want to ......" Ruolan thought that there would be no mistakes, but there was no 100% insurance for this kind of thing, and it was the father-in-law who made the final decision.

Ma Chengteng waved his hand: "No need, even the old lady of the family is a reasonable person, since she handed over the dowry to Yueyao, she will definitely not leave a handle." "Otherwise, the old lady's prestige would cease to exist. Ma Chengteng felt that it was good for the old lady of the Lian family to hand over his sister's dowry to Yueyao, so as to save him from bringing it up and causing unnecessary entanglements when the time came.

Ruolan was very surprised by Ma Chengteng's reaction, normally her father-in-law should be very surprised when he heard it, after all, Yueyao is still young, how can she manage such a large dowry. But Ma Chengteng was not surprised at all, as if he had known about it for a long time. Zhuang Ruolan's heart turned several times.

Ma Chengteng said tactfully: "Yueyao, this child has a lot of thoughts, and his temperament has changed a lot after losing his parents. Even the people in the house have their own thoughts, and I will often take her over to live in the future. You'll have to worry more about this kid in the future. ”

Ruolan naturally responded again and again, this cousin is a smart and resourceful person, and she is willing to help such a person. After saying this, Ruolan said again: "Dad, my mother-in-law and second aunt are both ill today, and the doctor said that there is no big hindrance, but I need to recuperate." Ruolan called Ma Chengteng's father and Cheng's mother-in-law, such a clear name can be known by a clear-eyed person who hears Zhuang's attitude. Ma Chengteng was not dissatisfied, because he was also disgusted with the Cheng family now.

Ma Chengteng bowed: "I will deal with your mother-in-law's affairs." As for your little aunt, you just have to watch and dispose of it. After speaking, he left, leaving Ruolan and Ma Peng.

Ruolan felt a lot more comfortable when she heard this. The mother-in-law is the trouble, and the aunt is just a sojourning aunt, and she is reasonably stand-up and does not worry about any moths.

After Ma Chengteng left, Ma Peng asked in a low voice: "Ruolan, did the Lian family really return the dowry to his sister?" "Ma Peng always felt that it was a smoke bomb, a smoke bomb set off at home.

Ruolan smiled: "This is still fake. Although I haven't verified the pretend list, if there is any big discrepancy, the old lady can't get over it. "Since the old lady said that those things were basically placed in Lanxi Courtyard, there would definitely be no mistakes. And Ruolan also believed that the old lady would not covet her aunt's money.

Ma Peng spoke very directly: "Ruolan, my aunt has a great kindness to me. My aunt and uncle are gone, and now I have a cousin left, and I need to take care of my cousin. Ruolan, please take care of your cousin more in the future. "Not to mention that his aunt saved his life, even the future was given to him by his aunt, otherwise where would he be able to get into the Jinshi and where would he be able to enter the Hanlin Academy. His aunt was a grace to him.

Ruolan smiled: "Don't worry, husband, I will take care of my cousin in the future." "This cousin is really interesting, not only does her father-in-law love her daughter, but even her husband loves her so much.

The husband and wife talked, and an entourage came over: "Young master, the master invites you to the study." ”

In the past, Ma Peng was worried when he heard that his father asked him to go to the study, and since he entered Hanlin, Ma Chengteng has been kind to him. When I went to the study, I only pointed out the things that needed to be paid attention to at the time and asked about some errands, and I never punished him again, and I didn't even say a word again.

Caiyun waited for Ma Peng to leave and couldn't help but say, "This girl is really not simple. When the dowry was delivered, she could see it clearly, and the cousin was not surprised at all, but took the box very calmly. It shows that this matter is actually known to the girl in her heart. Moreover, the old man's reaction just now also shows that he knew about this matter a long time ago, which means that the cousin girl was angry with the old man.

Ruolan shook her head when she remembered Mo's performance and said, "Cousin Yueyao is not easy, if you are not shrewd, you have to gnaw off any bone slag." She asked the people below just now, and she knew that the dowry of the eldest aunt and grandmother was very rich, and no one was unimpressed with the money in hand. And looking at the appearance of the eldest lady of the Lian family, she is greedy. Now that the dowry is handed back to Yueyao, there will be a lot less disputes, otherwise it will not be a good thing for Yueyao to marry and fight for the dowry in the future.

Ruolan heard that the housekeeper's mother was coming, and after asking for a while, she was done with it in a few words. Ruolan used to manage the house with the wife of the prince of the Guogong Mansion, and the affairs in the Guogong Mansion were extremely complicated, and the things in the Ma Mansion were easy for Ruolan, and everyone acted according to the rules.

Caiyi walked in and said, "Girl, Mother Liu is here." ”

Ruolan was a little curious about what Mother Liu was doing here, but she still said with a smile: "Hurry up and invite Mother in." "I thought that my mother came over to have something important in return, but I didn't expect my mother to come and ask for her resignation. This was really unexpected by Ruolan.

A hint of joy flashed on Caiyun's face, and it was a good thing to be able to automatically back down.

Mother Liu shook her head: "I know that the young lady feels sorry for the old slave, but the old slave can't do it anymore when his bones are hard at his age." Now that the young master has married the young lady and started a family, the old slave has an explanation to Mrs. Tai even if he falls to the ground now. ”

Ruolan naturally couldn't agree in one go.

Mother Liu really has the heart to resign, the eldest young lady has only been here for less than a month to take care of the mansion in an orderly manner, and she is also handy in dealing with Cheng's family, she is really not right next to her: "Young lady, the old slave really can't move, and now I just want to live a two-day idle life." Ask the young lady to fulfill the old slave! ”

Regarding Liu's mother's resignation, Ruolan is happy to see it. Liu's mother is old, and she has worked hard to protect her husband to grow up. Such a person naturally has to be extremely respectful. In fact, when she first came, she also thought that Mother Liu would rely on the old and sell the old, but she didn't expect that Mother Liu was a very reasonable person. has been helping her during this time, but it is also troublesome to put such an old man who is not an elder and can't be treated as a human by his side.

Too much respect will not distinguish between respect and inferiority, and if you treat it slowly, it will cause your husband to be dissatisfied. Now that Liu's mother sincerely resigns, Ruolan's heart is also relieved. Please resign and give Liu's mother some more money, and then reuse Liu's mother's daughter-in-law.

After Mother Liu left, Caiyun said with a smile: "Girl, this Mother Liu has eyes, and she is worthy of being entrusted by the old lady." ”

Ruolan smiled and didn't answer.

As soon as Yueyao finished breakfast, Hao's mother came over and said, "Girl, Peng Chun's daughter-in-law and Li's third daughter-in-law have come over to say hello to the girl." "These daughters-in-law are all born of a family. The group of daughters-in-law who came were either on an errand with the second master, or they were on an errand with the second lady or in the inner courtyard. As for what can be used and what can't be used, we have to observe it carefully.

Yueyao didn't say anything to them, she just saw and recognized her face. These are all approved by Deng's mother after the observation period. But if you want to reuse it, you have to watch again.

Peng Chun's daughter-in-law often had to deal with Deng's mother when she was in Jiangnan, and she also had a relationship with Deng's mother at the moment. I want to see what Yueyao means when she sees them, and it's really hard to guess when she sees them not saying anything. The three girls are getting more and more esoteric.

Mother Deng smiled and said Yueyao's original intention: "The girl said that she used to focus on painting and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the inner courtyard, but now I will be familiar with you first." ”

Yueyao was not a person in charge in her previous life, except for the first-class and second-class maids around her, she had little contact. Now, more than twenty years later, where will she still remember the faces of these servants? I don't know if I'm loyal or not, so I can only use this excuse. Fortunately, when Yueyao was in Jiangnan, she really focused on painting, and everyone knew what was going on outside, and she didn't arouse suspicion with this excuse.

Zhao Chun's daughter-in-law vaguely proposed to send her daughter to Yueyao to serve. Mother Deng said with a smile: "I'll go and ask, and the girl will answer you again." "These families have all been assessed, but the girl said that we have to look at it again. It's not good for her to say anything now.

Several other daughters-in-law also expressed their loyalty.

Peng Chun's daughter-in-law returned to the place where she lived to look at her lovely daughter, and she didn't want her daughter to serve if she could; But being a slave or a slave is involuntarily.

Peng Chun didn't tell his wife what Yueyao said. Because the future is full of uncertainties, he said that he is not safe. It's not too late to wait for things to be implemented, otherwise if the expectations turn into disappointment, this huge gap is also uncomfortable.

Deng's mother relayed Peng Chun's daughter-in-law's words. Yue Yao shook her head: "Now that my grandmother is not in good health, I will definitely add a maid here." Not for now. "Yue Yao actually thinks that the maids in Lanxi Courtyard are enough, and they don't need so many people to serve.

Mother Deng said worriedly: "Girl, although you have their deeds in your hands, once the old lady dies, whether these people can be relied on is two words." "What Mother Deng means is that it is safer to keep these people's daughters by her side.

Yue Yao shook her head: "No need." "As long as she is on guard, the henchmen around her can be relied on, and she is not afraid of Mo's.
