Xia Xue'er stretched out her hand to take the book, its cover has not been written, and I don't know what it is for, I opened it with curiosity to take a look, and the first thing that caught my eye was: 20 pearls, 20 brocades, a pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of Nanmu Duobaoge, and 20 silk gold and silver hairpins...... Flipping back, what was recorded was something like this, closed the book and put it on the table, and then raised his eyes to look at Mu Wenshu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Sister-in-law wants me to help refer to the second sister's dowry?"

Because Xia Qiaoyun and Yu Yingxi both fell in love with Li Mingzhe, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, so in the middle of last summer, she also held a banquet in the palace of the king of Qi, trying to create an opportunity for the two to have an in-depth understanding, but the idea of matchmaking was finally lost because of Wen Mengfan's falling into the water, I thought it was impossible, who would have thought that Li Qingcang would come to the door to ask for his son, Xia Qiaoyun was happy, the two sides hit it off, and the wedding date was set in September this year.

"The wedding date set in October last year, the furniture or something, but people have already gone to Shangshu Mansion to measure the place, and we have also invited craftsmen to hurry up the production, so we don't need to worry about it. But the rest gives me a headache.,I've never done anything like this.,The second sister is introverted.,Naturally don't want to talk to me more.,I don't know what I like.,I wanted to draw up a list first and then hand it over to my mother.,But before that, it's safer for you to help refer to the reference.。 ”

The dowry is generally tailor-made, depending on the level of the man's bride price, if the man's bride price is enough, then the tide rises, and the woman's dowry will naturally not be less. It was not difficult to do, but when it fell on Xia Qiaoyun, it became difficult because of the gap between the identities of the two sides.

Li Mingzhe is the eldest son of Shangshu Mansion, Xia Qiaoyun is the second daughter of the first military marquis's mansion, it was not a marriage that was not the right one, if the dowry was less, she couldn't hang it up after she got married, but if it exceeded the specifications of the concubine, it would be replaced by Xia Qiaofeng, who had already been married, and her face couldn't hang up. It seems like a simple thing, but you have to figure it out and figure it out when you look at the world and everything, and it's really not easy to find a balance during this period!

Xia Xue'er has never done such a thing herself, but there is someone who may be willing to do it! So Fu picked up the gift list on the table and handed it to Mu Wenshu, and at the same time suggested: "Sister-in-law, why don't you ask what your grandmother means?" Once the eldest sister's dowry was purchased by her old man, maybe there will be suggestions worth listening to! ”

Mu Wenshu understood the meaning of Xia Xue'er's words, and after thinking about it, it was also the same truth, so she took the dowry list, sat down for a while, and then got up to say goodbye. Xia Xue'er sent her out of Tingyuxuan, and when she turned to come back, she instructed Cuizhu: "Find a name to meet Li Min another day." ”

She still remembered that she had investigated Li Qingcang and knew that he was from the Five Princes' faction, and he was originally not on the same line as the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and he didn't have too much friendship in the past, but in this case, he suddenly came to the door to propose marriage to his eldest son, which must have a deep meaning!

You must know that Li Mingzhe is not only handsome, but also suave, there is not only Xia Qiaoyun who likes him, but there is no one who has status and status than Xia Qiaoyun, in addition to Yu Yingxi, the daughter of Pingyang Houfu, there is not also Wen Mengfan of Qingguo Mansion? It's not that she deliberately belittles Xia Qiaoyun, it's just that compared with these people, Xia Qiaoyun really has no advantage, in terms of identity is not as good as the two of them, in terms of age is not as good as Yu Yingxi's cardamom years, and in terms of appearance, she is not as pretty and lovely as Wen Mengfan, but even so, it was he who finally got the title of "Mrs. Li", which can't help but make people suspicious.

If Xia Xueer didn't know about Li Mingzhe, then she wouldn't have such worries and worries.

Listening back to Yuxuan, she carefully looked at the information collected by Xianglan, and also had a deeper understanding of the current situation.

As Xia Xue'er expected, since Concubine Jingxian was among the concubines, the power in the hands of the five princes was quietly withdrawn by the emperor, and the criminal department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry, which were once in hand, except for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry, which were not passive, the other two departments have made some adjustments to a greater or lesser extent, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was directly beheaded for the crime of bending the law for personal gain!

As a result, there are not many chess pieces available in the hands of the five princes, and their strength has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer possible to win the heir, at least in the emperor's heart, he has already denied the possibility of him as the heir!

What Xia Xue'er needs to know is that in such a bad situation, is Li Qingcang ready to sink to the bottom of the river with the boat, or does he want to find the right time to jump ashore?

If it is the latter, Xia Qiaoyun is indeed a good springboard, but if it is the former, she has to prepare in advance!

The next day, as soon as lunch was finished, Li Min came in, Xia Xue'er and Mu Wenshu were both in Yalanxuan, hearing the news, Xia Xue'er was not surprised, and only said to the maid who came to report the news: "Please Miss Li come in and sit." ”

Xia Xue'er looked at her expression when she said this and the sincere eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart, rushing to her limbs, feeling as if she was lying on the beach, and the whole person was surrounded by the warm sun, which was very comfortable.

How could she not understand the thoughts of her sister-in-law?

She is the emperor's ninth princess, and this kind of thing is equivalent to the Four Books and Five Classics, which is a must-read subject for students. In addition, although there are many things in the Hou Mansion, there are not so many blood branches compared to the family, and it is not too complicated, it is extremely simple for her to get started! And now she says that she doesn't understand and needs her help, but she is just afraid that her life in the house will be boring, and she wants to find a reason to talk to her from time to time to pass the time!

With such a simple mind and such a pure purpose, how could Xia Xue'er not see through it?

Moved, put his other hand on the other party's hand and held his hand, and at the same time looked at the other party's eyes and said: "Now I am not very convenient to move, and my body is lazy, it is inevitable to be bored to stay alone in this small listening to the rain, sister-in-law is free and willing to come to me to sit here?" ”

"That's natural!"

Hearing Xia Xue'er say this, Mu Wenshu naturally responded happily, which was also her original purpose. It's not easy to be a confidant in life, she and Xia Xue'er are not much different in age, they are each other's sisters-in-law, this is also a kind of fate! At the same time, Xia Xue'er was also full of emotion, silently making a wish, but begging God to be gentle with the kind woman in front of her.

After some sensationalism, Mu Wenshu stretched out her hand and pointed back, and the personal maid took out a book inlaid with red silk cloth and put it in the palm of her hand, and she handed it to Xia Xue'er, and said at the same time: "There is one thing that needs your help for reference right now."
