When the three of them left, Mama Guo immediately said urgently: "Girl, what are you doing-?" ”

Why did you agree to the old lady so lightly? What else do you say is to repay the kindness, and the direct 10,000 taels of silver don't have to be returned, how can this Anyuan Bofu have any kindness to his own girl?

Although he has lived in this Bofu for three years, he doesn't know how much he helped the Bofu when his master was an official before. When sending the girl to the house, he gave the old lady and every room a big gift, that is, the girl lived in the past three years, whether it was food, clothing or flowers, it didn't cost him a copper, the old man left the girl's property every year and the income was not used up, and the rest made them greedy and not satisfied.

Even Mama Du asked, "Isn't the girl really planning to repay her grievances with virtue?" ”

Cai Wei shook her head, "If you repay your grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" ”

"Why did the girl accept the IOU and promise them? You're about to get married, and you've just arrived at the county king's mansion, and there are many places to use money, how can you not have a box of silver? ”

"Besides, this time, I don't know what the one in the palace thinks, but these two princesses and concubines of the county have not passed the door, so they carried the second concubine into the door ten days in advance, which is really not in line with the rules and etiquette of our Great Qin Dynasty. I've heard people say that only the uncivilized Jurchen Tartars outside the border would do this kind of thing of marrying a young wife first and then marrying a big wife, and there is no distinction between respect and inferiority. ”

Cai Wei smiled: "Those nomadic aliens are different from us, we are monogamous and polygamous, but they are polygamous, just like the previous Mughal tribe, in their opinion, there is no difference between wives and concubines, what about the first Mughal Khan and ten queens?" ”

Mama Guo said angrily: "Ouch, I said girl, do you still have the time to tell me about these folk customs here?" Why don't you worry about what Concubine Jin entered the palace ten days earlier than you, which gave her the first hand, and she is the niece of Concubine Jin, so I'm afraid of ......"

Cai Wei said nonchalantly: "Why should I be afraid? I didn't go to the palace to please the king of Linchuan, and if she took the lead, she wouldn't be able to do anything to me? ”

Her completely inappropriate look suddenly made her nurse anxious and shouted: "This, this, after this woman gets married, the husband is the sky, if you can't win the favor of the king of Linchuan, then the second concubine Jin is a powerful one, and the concubine supports her, then your life will be sad, girl!" ”

"That's fine, I still beg their aunts and nephews to kick me out of the palace and let me live?" Cai Wei suddenly thought of a possibility to get out.

"Phew! Seeing that she is about to get married, how can the girl say all these depressing words? Guo Mama hurriedly chanted in her mouth, "The Bodhisattva is above, the bad is not good, the spirit ...... is good"

Mama Du also shook her head, "The girl is not afraid that she will be killed by a favorite concubine in that mansion when the time comes?" ”

Cai Wei thought for a while, "Even if they really have this thought, they won't just marry and do it, thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan, I now have the name of a loyal minister and orphan, they always have to live a year and a half before they can start, with all this time, I don't believe I can't think of a way to protect my life." ”

"So, if the girl wants to live a safe and comfortable life in the palace of the county king, she must first reward the people below. Mama Guo hurriedly said again.

"Didn't my grandmother give us a thousand taels of silver, and it would take enough time to reward the next person, not to mention that this person may not be able to win it by relying on wealth alone." Cai Wei said.

Her nurse didn't believe what Mrs. Tai said now, and said, "Can you still believe what this old lady says?" She said she would give us a thousand taels first, but where was the silver? A thousand taels of silver is only a lot of silver in exchange for a silver ticket, so why can't you bring it? ”

Cai Wei's heart moved, she didn't think that the old lady would have to throw another trick for this thousand taels of silver, so she said: "This thousand taels of silver is exchanged for a silver ticket is just a few dozen pieces of paper, and it is not obvious, but if you directly give it real money, well, you can make up a dowry!" ”

Mama Du frowned and said: "In this way, the girl's so-called more than 100 dowries are only afraid that every person she carries can be picked up to the county king's mansion." ”

Mama Guo pondered for a while, patted her thigh and said, "You mean to say that the old lady prepared a dowry for the girl, which sounds like a lot of dowry, but in fact, it doesn't contain much in it every time she lifts it, it's just a showcase?" ”

Cai Wei smiled and nodded, "It seems that in order to make up for this hundreds of dowries, my grandmother really put a lot of effort into it!" ”

"Girl, how can you still laugh?" Mama Guo's tone was already a little hateful, "If this is really the case, how much of your silver that asked the old lady to help with the dowry might as well be coveted by them?" ”

"That's not all, when I looked at the house deed and land deed before, I saw that the silk shop in my capital, as well as the two rented out shops on Zhengyang Street, were not quite the same as before, I am afraid that they have been replaced by fake deeds." Cai Wei is still pale and authentic.

"Ahh Mama Guo immediately shouted, "Those three shops, that is an industry worth 10,000 taels of silver, the price of land in the capital has soared in recent years, and now I am afraid that it is more than that, girl, your annual income from these dowries can all depend on this shop and those two stores, and even this is greedy by them, this has to be added to the pressure box silver that is still owed and other silver that is greedy, and the dowry of 60,000 taels of silver left by the lord for you is more than half of them greedy?" ”

Then she began to complain again: "This lord is too, what do you do not buy more property things to leave for the girl, and directly leave 30,000 taels of silver, how easy is this cash to be swallowed by others?" The three most valuable stores are also not on the official deed, which is good, but it has also been moved, and the rest of the fields and houses can have how much income can they have every year? How wise was the lord when he was an official, how ......, how did he not care about the girl's dowry arrangement, and it would be better to buy more high-income properties for the girl? ”

Cai Wei smiled faintly: "If that's the case, wouldn't I have become a fat sheep to be slaughtered, but I can't keep any inheritance, and now I still have some land and houses left, and it is finally enough for me to have no worries about food and clothing in this life." ”

She could deal with it indifferently, but her nurse couldn't do it, so she immediately shouted: "Girl, let me tell you, this is not the time to be high, and since the girl found that the deed was wrong, why didn't she tell it at that time and confront them." This, now that everyone is gone, otherwise, let's go to Uncle Anyuan's mansion now and talk to them. Not to mention the misappropriation of the girl's money, he actually embezzled the girl's property, which is really what can be endured and what cannot be endured! ”

Cai Wei smiled and grabbed her and said: "What is my mother anxious about, it's just a few tens of thousands of taels of silver, I don't see it in my eyes, not to mention that money is something outside the body, just treat it as your girl and I do good deeds and give alms to the poor." ”

Since my father didn't plan to keep these tens of thousands of taels of silver back then, I was afraid that with my father's thoughtfulness, most of them might have other arrangements.

Mama Guo suddenly said urgently: "Girl, when you lived in that mansion before, you were always bullied by them, and now, that person who has no conscience swallowed half of your dowry at once, which is tens of thousands of taels of silver, why do you still swallow your anger and not reason with them?" This person is good at being bullied, you are so old, how will you live in the future? ”

Cai Wei sighed, and said: "Nurse, I deliberately didn't break the deed is fake, let's not reason with them, I have my own reasons." ”

Mama Guo's eyes widened and said, "What's the truth?" If the girl doesn't tell me clearly, I must go and seek justice for the girl, my wife can't watch the girl who was my grandmother being bullied like this? ”

Cai Wei was moved in her heart, and pulled her to the chair and sat down, "Mom has to listen, don't stand and listen, how tired it is, you sit down first, and listen to me tell you slowly one by one." ”

"The reason why I didn't want to bother with them was because it was just now that I understood why my father had arranged my dowry in this way. He was not as careless about my dowry as my mother thought, but he was too concerned about all the possibilities for me. ”

"If my maternal grandfather's relatives are the ones who can be entrusted and keep their promises, that is, the dowry that my father left me with 100,000 taels of silver, they will not embezzle it. If it is unreliable and has a crooked mind, it is all kinds of jewelry, silk utensils, and farm shops that I have prepared, will it not be embezzled? ”

"It's better to be like my father who left me a third of the property into the official deed, but they are all unprofitable, which makes people look down on it and think it is troublesome to enter the official deed. The remaining two-thirds, either cash or highly profitable shops, are very easy to be embezzled, but if my relatives treat me sincerely, they will naturally not touch my dowry, and such relatives will always be able to communicate with each other in the future, and will always be good. ”

"But the Nabo Mansion has already moved the girl's dowry now?" Mama Guo was puzzled, she really didn't understand the meaning of this late master's arrangement.

"yes, they moved it!" Cai Wei sighed lightly, she naturally didn't want to see such a thing happen, but it had come to this point, since they were sorry for her first and didn't treat her as a relative, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

"When I meet such relatives, I just use this as an excuse to never have to deal with them in the future. Because most of these people who ignore the friendship of relatives and do not pay attention to faith and righteousness will not help you when you are in trouble, but when you are prosperous, they will think about how to get benefits from you, and such evil relatives will be like losing friends, it is better to have nothing, and simply spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, as long as you can have no contact with such unscrupulous relatives, it is worth thousands of dollars. ”

When Cai Wei said this, she turned her head and asked Mama Du: "Mama, this is what my father meant by the arrangement that day, am I right?" ”

Mama Du nodded and smiled: "Yes, this is what the master means, there is a give-and-take, if these easy-to-take properties are swallowed by the uncle's mansion, the girl will not have to recognize this family in the future." ”

Mama Guo opened her mouth wide when she heard this, and only asked after a while: "But, even if you want to cut off contact with the Bofu on this ground, you have to reason with them, so that people can know that they have embezzled the girl's dowry and treated the girl badly?" Otherwise, it's—"

Cai Wei said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, the theory is naturally to theorize with them, but it's not for us to theorize, after all, I have lived in the Nabo Mansion for three years, and I am a junior, and now I haven't come out of the cabinet, if we reason with them now, even if we are reasonable, I am afraid that we will also be detained a disrespectful elder, ungrateful hat, it is not good to say." ”

"It's better to wait for me to get married, and let my mother-in-law seek justice for me! The name change is justified, and it can also raise the name of the county king to 'bully others'. Wouldn't it be better than if we were to reason with them? ”

"What does the girl mean is to let the two families of the palace and the bofu fight each other?" Mama Du asked.

"So that your girl can reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Cai Wei smiled.
