The one hundred and forty-third round
Qin Fei glanced at her with a smile, and said, "What is convenient to reward people, I'm afraid it's just to make up a few more dowries!" Mother had better take a look at the other boxes of dowries sent by Uncle Anyuan's mansion, but don't be like these boxes of copper coins, if you don't know it, you will be short of catties and two! ”
Cai Wei almost felt that this King of Linchuan was not on her side, it seemed that she was helping his mother pick the thorn in her bride's dowry, but Cai Wei was really hoping that their mother and son would find out that their dowry was hiding these tricks earlier.
Just seeing Concubine Jin's face full of disappointment, depression, and anger, she felt very happy in her heart, and then thought of the next good scene when the mother and son ran to An Yuanbo's mansion to ask for a dowry, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve slightly, if she hadn't suddenly found that Qin Fei was staring at her, she would have almost laughed out loud.
Fortunately, Qin Fei quickly retracted his gaze, and tried his best to take the dowry list and help his mother check the contents of the box one by one. After a while, he said, "Ouch, what kind of gold box jade Ruyi is this, it is so light to weigh, don't just have a layer of gold, right?" "And this mutton fat jade net bottle, this ordinary white jade can also be called mutton fat jade?" "Can such a thing be called an antique?"
"It's such a big box, and there are only a few bowls in it, which is too good to make up the numbers! Wait, this king remembers that the dowry list given to me by my father-in-law was written on the Ru kiln porcelain worth 5,000 taels of silver, and these boxes were clearly filled with official kiln ......"
For the rest of the day, the mother and son checked the remaining 100 dowries one by one, and the inspection was not completed until the second watch in the evening. I really didn't know if I didn't check this, but after a check, I found out that the so-called one hundred and twenty-eight dowry sent by An Yuanbo's Mansion was really false.
The bottom of the box is deliberately made a few points higher, it seems that the box is quite big from the outside, but in fact, the size of the inside is much smaller, not to mention, and each box is only half full, and the real dry goods are not packed with a few pieces, and there are many things next to it to support the place.
Except for a few genuine items, most of them do not match the number on the list, like the gold collar on the list that is worth two hundred taels of silver, but it is not pure gold at all, mixed with a lot of brass, and is only worth a few dozen taels of silver.
After such an inventory and liquidation, all kinds of dowry things worth 20,000 taels of silver listed on this list were actually only worth 5,000 taels of silver, and three-quarters of them were gone.
Concubine Jin, who was so angry that her liver hurt, pointed at Cai Wei's nose and scolded: "You, you useless thing, you can't even protect your own dowry!" How could I be blind to my son to marry such an unlucky ghost as you, I still wanted to marry a rich daughter-in-law, who would have thought that it was an empty shelf, and all the valuable things were greedy by relatives, and you didn't know how to put on your own dowry, and watched them make ghosts on the sidelines, so they fooled you. And the IOU of 9,000 taels of silver, why did you accept it at that time, you should have asked them to prepare 10,000 taels of silver for you and marry again? ”
Qin Fei glanced at Cai Wei and saw that she hadn't recovered from the shock, so he pushed her aside and said disdainfully: "With her weak rabbit appearance, is it strange that she can protect her own dowry?" It's no wonder that Uncle Anyuan Mansion is too bold and reckless, knowing that this girl is going to marry this king as a daughter-in-law, and she dares to deduct her dowry, and she doesn't even care about our Linchuan Palace, isn't it easy to bully an orphan girl whose parents died? Let's hurry up and discuss how to get these dowries back! ”
Concubine Jin nodded, she was bound to come back all these dowries, and she would let them spit out all of them if they swallowed as much as An Yuanbo's Mansion swallowed.
Qin Fei saw his mother's eyes staring at Zhou Caiwei viciously, so he pushed her away again, waved her hand and scolded: "You don't have the ability to see, what are you doing here, can't you block this king?" Now that the king is angry when he sees you, he should not hurry up and go back to your house, and he is not allowed to step out of the door without the king's permission. ”
As soon as Cai Wei returned to the Qingxin Courtyard where she lived, Mama Du asked her worriedly, she saw that Cai Wei didn't say a word on the way back, and her expression was gloomy, for fear that she would be hit too hard today and couldn't bear it for a while.
Cai Wei leaned her head on Mama Du's arms and said, "Mama, I'm not good at all now, I'm so sad in my heart, grandmother, she's too ......."
Even if she knew that she had gone through the hands of An Yuanbo's Mansion to buy a dowry for her, how much would be taken away, she didn't care, she regarded it as the hard-earned money that people prepared for her dowry, but Rao was like this, she didn't expect that the people in Nabo's Mansion would open their mouths and swallow most of her dowry silver in one bite.
This time, for all kinds of troubles that Concubine Jin's mother and son may go to An Yuanbo's mansion, Cai Wei really has no sense of apology at all, everything has a cause and must have an effect, and if she doesn't die, she won't die, and her grandmother has planted the cause, and she insists on embezzling her orphan girl's dowry, so don't blame someone to go to Bofu theory under the banner of standing up for her.
Qin Fei's methods, Cai Wei has already been taught, it is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and now seeing Concubine Jin like this, the first time she saw her daughter-in-law, she asked for someone's private property dowry, it seems that it is not a good stubble. Since these two families are not kind to her, and they are both eyeing her dowry, it is better for them to fight in the dark, and she is happy to watch the play leisurely on the side.
On the first day of October, under the command of the old lady, Uncle Anyuan's Mansion began to get busy early, preparing to welcome Zhou Caiwei, the niece of Princess Linchuan, who married into the Linchuan Palace.
What Mrs. Luo was most afraid of before was that the king of Linchuan suddenly changed his hexagram when he came to the end, and Cai Wei was not allowed to come to the Bo Mansion to return to the door, so her unspeakable words really couldn't be said to Cai Wei. It wasn't until yesterday morning that I received a message from the Linchuan Palace, saying that the princess would come to their uncle's mansion tomorrow to return to the door, so that they could prepare for their lives, and then let go of a big stone in my heart. According to the instructions of the Linchuan Palace, he invited more relatives and friends to the mansion to make this banquet more lively.
It was easy to wait until the honor guard of the Linchuan Palace's car drove to the door, but it was the Linchuan concubine Jin and her niece Jin Cifei who didn't want to come.
Mrs. Luo looked at Concubine Jin's aunt and nephew for a long time and didn't come back to her senses, these three dynasties returned to the door, weren't they all sons-in-law who accompanied the married girl back to her parents' house to visit relatives? Cai Wei's mother-in-law also came with her, and brought a concubine to the concubine's maiden house, which family's etiquette is this?
Seeing that the old lady was still looking behind her, Concubine Jin sneered, "Don't look at it, I and my niece are here for this time!" After speaking, he didn't wait for the master to greet him, and swaggered inside.
In fact, Qin Fei originally wanted to accompany Concubine Jin to find the bad luck of Uncle Anyuan's mansion, and on the night when their mother and son found out that the dowry was wrong, they discussed that they would take advantage of the day when the three dynasties returned to the house to make a big fuss, so they ordered someone to send a message to them to invite more relatives and friends to participate in Princess Linchuan's return banquet, in order to make them shameless in front of everyone.
No, in the morning, Uncle Anshun sent someone to send a message to Qin Fei, and the ridiculous prince immediately lost interest in asking for his daughter-in-law's dowry, and sent more than a dozen attendants to escort Concubine Jin to Uncle Anyuan's Mansion, and he took two little servants to Anshunbo's Mansion to watch the cockfighting competition.
Concubine Jin, who was released by her son, was so angry that she scolded him for a quarter of an hour, so she took her niece Jin Cuiqiao to accompany her and help herself. On the way to Uncle Anyuan's mansion, Concubine Jin's mouth never stopped, chattering with her niece that all the men in this world are unreliable, her father is unreliable, her husband is unreliable, and even her own son is an unreliable product.
In order to entertain the guests who returned to the door today, Anyuan Bofu has already opened the main hall of the house, Anqing Hall, and the lights along the road are colorful. As soon as Concubine Jin's aunt and nephew entered Anqing Hall, they sat down in the first two seats, and they all raised a pair of thin willow eyebrows, looking at everyone in Bofu with an unkind expression.
Mrs. Luo saw that Concubine Linchuan had an unkind look on her face, and suddenly became worried in her heart, and she barely calmed down and asked: "Concubine Niangniang, today is the day when my granddaughter returns to the door for three dynasties, why don't you see her come back, but is there anything unwell in her body?" ”
Concubine Jin sneered, "What are you doing when you come back to the door to bully a weak girl like you?" Do you come back and continue to be bullied by you? ”
Mrs. Tai coughed twice, "Dare to ask why the concubine said this, my granddaughter has been raised in our house for more than three years since her father left, and our house can be regarded as doing her best, how did she become a weak girl who bullied her?" ”
Seeing that the old lady was carrying the cow's head and still didn't admit it, Concubine Jin was so angry that she shouted angrily: "Come on, go and bring in all the boxes we brought, so that everyone in this hall can see the good things done by Uncle Anyuan's mansion!" ”
