Chapter 416: Measuring Strength
Although Shen's face is quite thick-skinned, she can also hear the meaning of the ninth princess's words, and on the contrary to her daughter, she doesn't feel embarrassed at all! In her opinion, her daughter's marriage into Shangshu Mansion is for the benefit of the Hou Mansion, and naturally she is also doing the prince a great favor, and it is natural to ask for more dowry!
Thinking of this, the waist pole became stronger, and his speech was full of energy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You may have misunderstood the meaning of the concubine, not that it has to be as rich as the dowry of the princess when she got married, but isn't it too shabby just like this? After all, after Yun'er got married, she carried the reputation of the Hou Mansion on her back, and she didn't enjoy the happiness alone! Besides, I heard that Li Gongzi is amorous and always likes to mess with flowers and grass, maybe there will be many concubines in the future, and there are some things around her, and Yun'er is so angry! ”
"Auntie!"
Hearing her mother say that Li Gongzi was not good, Xia Qiaoyun felt very uncomfortable, that was her dream lover! But just showed a little unwillingness to interrupt Shen, but Shen took her hand perfunctorily, both comforting and signaling her not to intervene, and then looked at Mu Wenshu, leaned his face forward, and asked rhetorically: "Your Royal Highness the princess, you said that the concubine is right?"
Mu Wenshu smiled helplessly in his heart, ignored her question, and asked, "Listening to my aunt's meaning, is marrying into Shangshu Mansion wronged the second sister?"
I didn't expect her to talk about him left and right, Shen didn't know how to answer for a while, taking advantage of this gap, Mu Wenshu said again: "I got married in September, and there is still half a year to go, if I feel wronged, it's still too late to regret the marriage."
The tone of suggestion sounded like he didn't care at all whether Xia Qiaoyun was married or not.
The two of them are also ignorant women who have been in the backyard for a long time, and they don't even know what the situation in the capital is now, thinking that marrying into Shangshu Mansion is sacrificing themselves to cheapen the Hou Mansion and the Qi Palace, but they don't know that now the Five Princes faction has been suppressed by the emperor, and his position as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is also in jeopardy, otherwise he can take a fancy to Xia Qiaoyun, who has lost his character, as the wife of his precious son? Who saved whom, and who benefited the most?
As soon as Mu Wenshu said this, Shen was really stunned, and he was a little afraid in his heart.
Although she said this, she also clearly knew that her daughter could marry into Shangshufu and it was already the best destination! The daughter is no longer in the cardamom years, and there is no appearance of the city, although she is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but she is only a concubine, and she has offended the main mother and concubine many times, even the old lady does not care about her marriage, if there is no Shangshu Lord to propose marriage for her son, it is estimated that in the future, she can only marry away from home hastily, and even can only be a concubine like her!
Xia Qiaoyun was also frightened, she couldn't care about it, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "The princess and sister-in-law misunderstood, my aunt didn't mean this, it was my honor to marry into Shangshu Mansion, and there was no grievance, and I asked my sister-in-law not to listen to my aunt's nonsense!" After that, he glanced at Shen again, signaling her not to talk nonsense, so as not to ruin her good deeds!
Seeing this, Mu Wenshu shook her head a little self-deprecatingly. What kind of mother and daughter are these? She's seen it today! Why are you so busy?
I didn't even bother to keep the smile on my face. Naturally, she won't take this kind of thing to heart, to put it bluntly, Xia Qiaoyun has resentment in her heart, and she still has a lot of dissatisfaction with her identity, and she doesn't even care about the mother who gave birth to her, so even if she lives well after she gets married, I'm afraid she won't think about the slightest bit of good in her mother's family, she just does what a sister-in-law should do, and tries to arrange it for her as well.
He took back the gift list from Shen's hand, closed it and handed it to the personal maid, and said: "To be honest, except for the land and furniture that have been customized according to the mother's wishes, the rest of this gift list is prepared by the grandmother, and today I brought it over for the two of you to see, just to see if the aunt has prepared a dowry for her daughter to add, not to modify the gift list!"
With that, she stood up again, as if she was about to leave.
"Today's aunt may not be ready, it's not too late, anyway, there is still half a year before the wedding, just come to me at any time if you think about it! But if you want to regret your marriage, you have to tell me at the end of the month, so you can arrange it! ”
After saying this, he glanced at Xia Xue'er, who had not said a word from beginning to end, and then turned around and walked out of the west wing.
Seeing this, Shen's heart was half cold, she was just an aunt, and she was not in charge of the feed, and her mother's family was not rich, although she had a share on weekdays, she was not very rich. She did prepare a dowry for her daughter, but those things are okay for ordinary people, and I am afraid that there are some things that cannot be taken in the Shangshu Mansion!
Mu Wenshu had already left, and seeing that Xia Xue'er was about to get up, Shen was anxious, and pounced without thinking, but fortunately, Xianglan reacted quickly and immediately dodged in front of her, and Cuizhu also immediately helped Xia Xue'er, for fear that she would fall.
The distance between the two is not far, if she really pounces, it is really possible to push Xia Xue'er, who is bulky! Seeing this, both of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
"Bold!"
Xianglan looked at Shen and snorted. Shen Shi reacted at this time, he was a little excited, but he didn't have the energy to take care of it, so he knelt down with a plop, and began to complain with a handful of snot and tears.
"Niangniang, princess Niangniang, you know, I'm just an inconspicuous aunt, how much money can I have in my hand? Yun'er didn't have a grandfather like the Zhao family to buy her a rich dowry, so she could only rely on the Hou Mansion that gave birth to her and raised her! ”
Xia Xue'er didn't expect Shen to be so excited, and she didn't know why she was so angry!
She has seen the dowry list, but she is not stingy, and it is not as shabby as Shen said, after all, the old lady has a good face and has a spectrum in her heart. Even if nothing is added, such a dowry is considered good!
Could it be because of her dowry as a contrast that the Shen family cried so much?
"Lift my aunt up!"
Gave an order to the dry maid on the side, and after the Shen family got up from the ground and sat down on the chair again, Xia Xue'er spoke: "There are rules for everything, if it is an ordinary family, more or less naturally has little to do with it, but the Hou Mansion is different, not to mention how many pairs of eyes are staring, it is spread out, how do you feel about the eldest sister who has already married?" is also a concubine, the second sister's dowry is already much better than hers, such a dowry, you won't feel shabby anywhere, the aunt must know that contentment is!
