363 Dowry Turmoil (I)

On the third day of Yueyao's marriage, the Queen Mother rewarded ten tribute satin and jade Ruyi and other things. Not to mention anything else, just these ten tribute satins are very decent. Ten tribute satin are all red colors, and each tribute satin has a meaning: dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, Yutang wealth, harmony Ruyi, and concentric, heaven and earth Changchun, bamboo and plum double happiness, unicorn child, Changchun white head, heavenly maiden scattered flowers, mandarin duck noble.

Drizzle touched these tributes and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." "Yueyao uses the best materials to make clothes, and the drizzle is not unseen. It's just that this is a reward from the Queen Mother, and it is a supreme honor for the girl.

Xiang Wei smiled: "These satins have a good meaning. I'm just afraid that the girl will be worried when she sees it. "From the day of the marriage, Ma Chengteng began to buy silk and silk threads to send to Begonia Garden, this time the housekeeper sent a lot of gold and silver threads, obviously, this is to let the girl embroider her wedding dress, but unfortunately Yueyao has not done it yet.

It's not that Yueyao doesn't embroider wedding dresses, it's just that she thinks she'll wait until the materials are neat. When things are neat, she knows in her heart, and when the time comes, she will draw the appearance of the wedding dress and let everyone follow the pattern and cut it. Yueyao was not in a hurry at all, because she had made up her mind to let Yahuan help.

When a few maids were chattering about which satin to use to make quilt covers, Xi Juan hurriedly ran over, and there was something good about it at a glance. Xiaojuan smiled and said: "Girl, I heard that Uncle An bought a five-entry house in Yuhua Hutong, and this will be cleaning up the house!" "Uncle An's posture is obviously to treat Yuhua Hutong as a new house.

Yue Yao smiled when she heard this: "Yuhua Hutong? It's a good thing, Mingzhu also lives in Yuhua Hutong, and it will be good to go to the door with Mingzhu in the future. "Except for Mingzhu there, the five-entry house in Yueyao's hand is in Yuhua Hutong. Yueyao prepared the house for Ting Zheng, and now the house An Zhichen bought is also in Yuhua Hutong, and she can take care of it if she is close to Ting Zheng in the future.

Xiang Wei smiled: "The house in Yuhua Hutong is not cheap, and it is very difficult to buy, and I don't know how Uncle An bought it?" "It is said that the feng shui of Yuhua Hutong is good, so those who believe in feng shui want to buy a house there, but unfortunately to buy a house there not only has to have power but also status, Rao is like this, as long as someone over there wants to sell the house, as soon as the news is released, someone will come to buy it. Xiang Wei didn't think An Zhichen had such luck.

After Xijuan was deliberately exercised by Xiang Wei, her gossip ability became stronger and stronger: "Outside is saying that this house is privately subsidized by Wei Yuanhou Uncle An, and even the girl's dowry is also purchased by Wei Yuanhou privately, and I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

Yue Yao smiled: "Really? How about the fake? Although he has passed by, Wei Yuanhou is Uncle An's biological father, is it not normal to take money to marry his son? "If they want to give, they will take it. When she marries from the Lian family, the Lian family will definitely add makeup, why are they willing to give it? No one is too much, and the money is well deserved.

Xiao Juan didn't think that it was bad to hold this money, but she was a little worried, and said: "I heard that this house was originally prepared for the second son of the An family, and now that the Marquis of Weiyuan has given it to the third son, the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion must be very lively." ”

Xiang Wei likes to watch the play the most, "The more fierce the trouble, the better, let's sit next to the play." "She was afraid that the stage would not be high and would not look tasteful.

Yueyao has long been accustomed to Xiang Wei's temperament of fearing that the world will not be chaotic

Xiao Juan said worriedly: "Girl, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is so chaotic, even if Uncle An comes out, if they come to the door in the future, it will be troublesome!" "It's too chaotic in the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, let alone contact with them, just listening to them will give you a headache.

Yue Yao chuckled: "Everyone knows that Weiyuan Hou is Uncle An's biological father, but only God knows who is Uncle An's biological mother." "Since I don't know who the biological mother is, I don't recognize it. The biological mother occupies the righteousness, even if she goes out, she will definitely have to give two points of face, but the aunt, one layer away from the boss, wants to reach out and take care of her affairs and wants to get beauty, as for Aunt Liu, she will not give face to an aunt.

After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Yueyao was right, "In the end, the girl is smart, and you can understand it when you think about it." ”

Xiang Wei scolded with a smile: "I still use you to pat this sycophant, go down!" ”

Ma Chengteng came over to look for Yueyao and told Yueyao that Lian Dongfang had agreed to her request. In addition, Ma Chengteng discussed the dowry with Yueyao, "Yueyao, how many of your mother's things do you still have in your hands, you make a list for me." Ma Chengteng knew that when Yueyao moved to Mafu, what was in those boxes was his sister's dowry.

Yueyao asked Yahuan to clear the warehouse again in the past few days, and spent several days working hard to draw up a list, "Uncle, real estate, land, and shops are all ready-made, and there is no need to add them; I have a lot of antique calligraphy and painting here, and I don't need to add more, although I have a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but most of the styles are relatively old, and when the time comes, it is enough to go to Duobao Zhai and play a few new sets. As for the wood furniture, my uncle doesn't have to worry, my father and mother saved me a lot of huanghuali wood before his death, these things are in the warehouse of Lanxi Courtyard, my uncle can ask the master to estimate how much furniture can be made of those woods, but I estimate that it is enough to make a complete set of furniture, and small pieces of furniture are not enough to replace other materials. There are a lot of furnishings in the house, and these need to be purchased.

Xiang Wei interjected beside her: "Lord Ma, the girl has purchased a lot of things, if Lord Ma is not afraid of trouble, you can send someone to Jiangnan to buy them, the things there are much cheaper than those in the capital, and you can save a lot of money at that time." ”

Ma Chengteng knew Xiang Wei's identity, and looked at Yueyao after listening to Xiang Wei's words.

Yue Yao nodded: "I think what Xiang Wei said is very reasonable." In addition, there are dowry maids and servants, which will be discussed when the time comes, and there is no rush now. ”

Ma Chengteng saw that Yue Yao was right, which meant that Yue Yao knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, when the time comes, my uncle will send someone to Jiangnan to buy you those latest things." "According to Yueyao's plan, this dowry is not too troublesome. The things are all in order, and when the time comes, you just need to add some small things.

Ma Chengteng didn't say hello to the people in Lianfu, and found an old craftsman, so he directly took this old carpenter to Lianfu to go to Lanxi Courtyard to see the wood.

The chief housekeeper secretly complained in his heart, where is there still wood in Lanxi Courtyard, it has long been used up. The big housekeeper had no choice but to play Tai Chi while asking people to notify Lian Dongfang, and then let people notify Mo.

Ma Chengteng is not lacking in heart, seeing the big housekeeper playing Tai Chi there, and then thinking of Mo's personality, this thing is nine times out of ten. Ma Chengteng said coldly: "You are pushing back like this, are these woods occupied?" ”

Where did the chief housekeeper dare to say that there was no more, "Master Ma, this backyard is a place for women's dependents, I'm afraid that you will bring so many people in and collide." ”

Ma Chengteng sneered: "Do you want me to enter?" ”

When there was a dispute, Tingyi came back, and when she heard Ma Chengteng's intention, Tingyi didn't think much about it, "Since the second uncle and aunt prepared wood for Yueyao to make furniture, it's also good." Master Ma, I led you there. ”

The chief housekeeper secretly complained, but Ma Chengteng stared at him and didn't even dare to remind him.

When he arrived at Lanxi Courtyard, Ma Chengteng looked at the only a few pieces of furniture in the warehouse that were too dilapidated to be used anymore, his face instantly turned black as the bottom of the pot, and asked coldly: "Where is the yellow rosewood in the warehouse?" Where did all that wood go? ”

Tingyi didn't think much about it at first, and was a little dumbfounded when he saw the empty warehouse. He was not stupid, so he turned around and asked the butler, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The big butler naturally said that he didn't know.

Ma Chengteng was so angry that he was happy, "The yellow rosewood materials that my sister and brother-in-law prepared for Yueyao can make a whole set of furniture, and according to this calculation, these materials should also occupy half of the warehouse." So many things are now not visible to a single piece of broken wood, and you tell me you don't know? Cheng, you don't know, then report to the official and let the government arrest this thief. "Yueyao is not a person who talks about it, she said that there must be.

Tingyi was stunned, because he remembered the yellow rosewood furniture when Yue Bing got married. Tingyi's heart was as bitter as eating Yellow Lotus, he really didn't expect that those Huanghua rosewoods were all Yueyao's. This is going to spread out, Dafang really doesn't have to be a man, after all, it was just rumored that his mother was going to occupy Yueyao's things, not really Yueyao's things. But now it's really using Yueyao's things.

Ma Chengteng didn't care about Tingyi's expression, strode into the house, but he didn't expect all the things in the room to change.

Ma Chengteng is really happy now, "This is really a locust transit, swept away!" "When Ma got married, those furniture were his purpose, but now everything has changed greatly, and there are even more ridiculous things than this.

Ma Chengteng is now glad that when Yueyao moved to Mafu that day, all the things that could be moved were moved, otherwise, there would definitely be no scum left.

Tingyi didn't care about these things, but he also knew that this time the matter was really big, "Uncle, we will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." ”

Ma Chengteng heard this and said: "Cheng, after I go back, I will copy a copy of the list and send it over." "The quarrel is not the point, the point is to recover those things, since Tingyi has already said that the Lian Mansion will solve it, he will lose the upper hand if he makes trouble again. Of course, the main thing is that the trouble is nothing more than this result.

When Ma Chengteng returned to Lianfu, he copied a copy of the list and asked the second housekeeper to send it over.

When the second housekeeper handed the list to Tingyi, he said: "Our master said that it doesn't matter if the other furniture can't be found, but these two things that have been circled must be found, these things are antiquities, left by the ancestors." ”

Tingyi took the list to find Lian Dongfang, and he couldn't handle this matter by himself.

Lian Dongfang heard about it when he came back, and he was too lazy to be angry with Mo Shi now. He didn't take the list either, but said, "You go to find Ma Chengteng, let him evaluate these things according to the price, and we will pay according to the price." As for the wood for the furniture, we will solve it. Tingyi, you must ask him not to publicize this matter. "This matter can only be dealt with, and it can't even be traced in the mansion, otherwise Lianjia will really become a laughing stock in the capital.

Lian Dongfang now regrets a little, why didn't he listen to his mother's words and insisted on not marrying Mo's: if he didn't marry Mo's, he didn't always have to clean up the mess for Mo's. However, Lian Dongfang looked up at Tingyi and sighed slightly, fortunately, the two sons were not like Mo's, and they were also fighting for him.

Tingyi looked at the list and said stubbornly, "Okay, I'll go now." For the first time, Tingyi resented Mo. It's not that the family can't get by, why do they always have to calculate Yueyao's things, and how much their family has been ridiculed over the years for this matter.

Tingyi went back to the house to change clothes, and Zhou Yue said softly: "Otherwise, I'll go with you." "Peng's left at the beginning of the year, and now Lianfu is Zhou Yue's housekeeper, so this matter can't be hidden from her.

Tingyi didn't let Zhou Yue go, just let him suffer such an embarrassing thing alone, why let his wife be humiliated!

Zhou Yue didn't insist, "Husband, if Master Ma doesn't agree, go to find Yueyao, no matter what, Yueyao is the person concerned, as long as Yueyao loosens her mouth, it's easy to do." Zhou Yue believes that Yueyao should give her husband this face.

When Ma Chengteng went to look for Yueyao after returning home, Yueyao was looking at the apricot blossoms in the backyard, and Ma Chengteng told Yueyao what had happened.

Yue Yao knew that the furniture for Yue Bing's wedding was all made of rosewood, and she had already guessed that the wood in the warehouse was not guaranteed. As for why she deliberately told Ma Chengteng that there was wood in the warehouse, how could her things be cheaper than others. However, Yue Yao really didn't expect that the furniture in Lanxi Courtyard was empty, and there were a lot of good things in it, "Uncle, what should I do now?" Yueyao was not worried, there was still a year to go, and it was not difficult to buy good materials, but it would be more difficult to find Huanghuali wood materials.

Ma Chengteng sighed, originally relieved, it is not easy to find good materials now, "I have to let them give an explanation." ”

Yue Yao smiled: "There's no hurry, there's still a year to go!" ”

All the things left in Lianfu were gone, and everyone up and down Haitang Garden knew about it, and the people in a courtyard were cursing Mo's.

Drizzle was distressed, "Girl, those materials were all saved by the master and the lady for you little by little since you were born, and now they are all cheaper than the second girl." ”

Xiang Wei sneered: "It's not so easy to take advantage of the cheapness, it must be for them to spit it out with interest." "Where is the girl's stuff so easy to take.

Yue Yao didn't agree with Xiang Wei's approach, "Let's see how they deal with it first, if it is not handled properly, it is not too late to settle the account when the time comes." ”

Drizzle also echoed on the side, "The girl is right, you really can't have a stiff with them now, and it won't be good for the girl to get stiff." But Sister Xiang Wei's words are not wrong, we must let them spit it out with interest. ”

Yue Yao smiled: "Just you can speak." ”

Drizzle said with a smile: "Fortunately, the girl brought everything she could bring that day, which is a great luck in misfortune." "That's the only thing that can be comforted.

Yueyao took the book and put it on the table to read. Xiang Wei glanced at Yueyao a few times, and saw that Yueyao was really reading, not pretending, okay, her girl's stomach can support the boat.

Yue Yao really didn't care too much, all her things in her previous life were deceived by the Mo family, and now they are just those small heads of wood furniture, which is really not a thing, and she also expected that the things left in the Lian Mansion would be greedy by the Mo family, but it was not easy to move over at that time.

Yueyao was tired of seeing it, so she asked Drizzle to come over and help her rub her eyes. At this time, a maid came over and said, "Girl, the second master of the Lian family is here, and the master invites the girl to come over." ”

Xiang Wei's spirit was shocked, and the speed was really not slow.

Yueyao looked at Xiang Wei's appearance and said, "Xiang Wei stay, and the drizzle will come with me." "Xiang Wei followed, it's okay to have something.

When Yue Yao arrived at the study, Tingyi was standing in the middle, her face flushed, obviously angry. It's the people of the family who are at fault, so this anger has to be honestly next to each other.

Ma Chengteng's face was not good-looking, and when he saw Yueyao coming in, he said: "Yueyao, even the family said that the things can't be made up, they said that they will compensate with money, what do you think?" ”

Yue Yao chuckled and said, "Uncle, even if I find it back, those things have been used by outsiders, and I don't want them." Since my uncle was willing to re-purchase it, it couldn't have been better. If she guessed correctly, I'm afraid that all the furniture was used by Moh's or in Moh's library.

Tingyi listened to Yueyao say that it was to buy again, not to buy, and her heart was a little more relaxed, no matter what, Yueyao's attitude was still biased towards them, which was much easier.

Ma Chengteng heard Yueyao say that he was unwilling to use the things used by others, and he had no objections, "You don't need to buy things, who knows what street goods you will buy." When I settle the score, you can send me the money according to the price. ”

What Ma Chengteng meant by this, it was a naked slap in the face, but he was on the side of the station, and he couldn't refute it, "Okay, when my uncle has negotiated the price, I'll send the silver ticket over." "Swear they don't embezzle, and people won't believe it.

Ma Chengteng's face softened a little, he really scolded just now, and his heart was much more comfortable, "Forget about other things, but the flower intarsia dressing table and dressing mirror must be found." It was handed down by our ancestors, and it cannot be left into the hands of outsiders. ”
