Chapter 272: Emptying the Treasury for Du Yu 1
Rika-in
The old lady who grounded Du Zhixuan with forceful means without saying anything, and after returning to her room, she no longer concealed the exhaustion and fatigue that flowed from the cracks in her bones.
"Mama Zhou, in a few days, it will be the day set by King An's Mansion, right?"
"Exactly." Mama Zhou, who was keenly aware of the meaning of the old lady's words, still couldn't understand why the old lady loved Du Yu such a concubine for the first time, and ignored the other concubines and concubines in the house, but she still lowered her eyes and covered the thoughts in her eyes.
"A few days ago, the housekeeper of King An's Mansion personally came to urge, saying that if he could, he hoped that he would be able to marry the eldest lady in five days." Mama Zhou skillfully converted the words "five days later, King An's Mansion will accept concubine wine" into the word "marry".
And, obviously, the old lady didn't hear the meaning of Mama Zhou's words, but just pondered for a moment, and the confusion and hesitation on her face disappeared: "Then bring me the list of Ju'er's dowry." ”
Mama Zhou, who was not surprised that the old lady would make this decision, responded lightly, and took out the list of dowries she carried with her from her sleeve, and attached a list of items in the public treasury of the Houfu and the old lady's private treasury.
And, such a move made the old lady's eyes quickly flash a touch of satisfaction and self-satisfaction.
Look, the grandmothers she taught herself are not inferior to those palace grandmothers next to the county lord of Anping!
If it weren't for the difference in identity, back then, how could she have watched her sweetheart marry the county lord of Anping, a girl whose appearance and talent were not as good as her?
But. Soon, the old lady put these thoughts away and studied the list in her hand intently.
Mama Zhou stood at the table. After preparing the pen and ink, he took out the backup list of the public treasury of the Houfu and the private treasury of the old lady.
The old lady first looked at the fabric, frowned slightly, and said: "These fabrics are too cheap and cheap, and those people in King An's Mansion are born with a pair of rich eyes, and they are all replaced with the silk silk newly sent by the former one, the shopkeeper of the silk village." so that Ju'er may reward the king's subordinates. ”
"The ten Shu brocades and eight cloud brocades in the public treasury were all added. These are used to cut new clothes for Yu'er. ”
Speaking of this, the old lady sighed: "In this world, there are always those people who 'respect Luo Yi first and then respect others'. These fabrics alone can show the importance of Yu'er in Houfu to King An's mansion. Even if those people are unwilling. If you want to calculate and pinch Yu'er, you have to weigh whether you can provoke the Houfu! ”
Mama Zhou hesitated for a moment, and reminded secretly: "Old lady, four of these Shu brocade and Yun brocade are bright red. "And, such a red, if Du Yu is not married, but he can wear it. But. Now, Du Yu, who is a concubine with others, what virtue and how can he be. What about continuing to wear this bright red outfit?
The muscles on the old lady's face trembled, her lips pursed into a straight line, and even her teeth made a terrible "creaking" sound from overexertion.
After a long time, the old lady sighed, her face full of loss and sadness: "That's it, just remove the four brightly colored horses." Let's change the fabric to a softer color again. ”
These fabrics are slightly inferior to the value of Shu brocade and Yun brocade. But it is still the fabric sought after by the ladies of the family.
Even so, the old lady still felt that Du Yu had suffered a big loss, so she said in line with the idea of subsidizing Du Yu: "I remember, I still have a white pearl shirt there?" Still have a pink pearl and black pearl shirt in the public treasury? Attribute them to the top as well. ”
"Compared with those with shallow eyelids, I like some items such as ruby sapphire and jadeite that can't be on the table, but I love pearls the most."
The old lady pretended to glance at the Wenhui Courtyard where Du Zhixuan lived, although until now, she still couldn't understand why Du Zhixuan changed her previous liking for pearls and suddenly became fond of gemstones and jadeite, but this did not prevent her from using this to ridicule and mock Du Zhixuan at the same time, and criticize Du Zhixuan, the county lord of Anping, Du Zhixuan's grandmother, without a trace.
"The old slave remembers that the old lady also loves pearls alone." Mama Zhou pursed her lips and chuckled: "It can be seen that the eldest lady and the old lady have similar temperaments, and in the future, they will be able to live an enviable happy life like the old lady!" ”
"Hmm." Like many old people in this world, the old lady who has always loved Du Yu also likes to be praised by others, and has indirectly praised her flattering methods. So, at this moment, the old lady rarely abandoned the disgust and anger that had arisen in her heart because she thought of Du Zhixuan again, and just focused on studying Du Zhixuan's dowry list.
"Select ten sets of pearl heads from the treasury, plus two boxes of loose pearls." The old lady thought for a while, and then added casually: "Add another box of gemstone and jade head jewelry, so that after Ju'er marries into the palace, she will reward her descendants." ”
I really want to know, Du Zhixuan, a girl who was pampered by the lord of Anping County and didn't know the suffering of the world, looked like a girl after knowing this!
A hint of hesitation appeared on Mama Zhou's face again: "Old lady, some of the gemstone jade heads in the treasury are royal gifts, which are not suitable for rewarding people." ”
"Then re-select these head and face jewelry, and put them together with the ten sets of pearl head and face jewelry." The old lady waved her hand and said, "Although the world is more precious than jade, there are some mavericks everywhere. Maybe one day, she will know some people who love gemstones and jadeite, and then these head jewelry will come in handy. ”
"Although gold and silver are too tacky, who can really escape gold and silver in life?" The old lady tapped on the gold and silver objects, and said with a lot of wealth: "Gold and silver heads, each pick twenty sets of the most exquisite and gorgeous workmanship. Whether it's for your own use or for rewarding people, it's very good. ”
"In addition, these gold and silver coins, which were carved with auspicious objects such as animals and flowers and used to reward their descendants, were also carried in two boxes each."
"Now, since Ju'er has married into the palace, the previous set of furniture made of sour pear wood can no longer be used. It's just that time is too urgent, so I can only find out all the mahogany and sandalwood furniture in the public library, and pick the best workmanship as new, as the dowry of Yu'er. ”
……
In short, no matter what, these things can't be left to other people, especially Du Zhixuan, a disgusting girl!
Even if these objects are Qian Hanmeng's dowry, so what?
Even if Du Zhixuan has a list of Qian Hanmeng's dowries in her hands, but, since, some time ago, the county lord of Anping, who specially came to Yongcheng Houfu to help Du Zhixuan ask for the dowry, failed to catch all the objects in the public treasury, but only for the Qian family, and removed most of the dowries that belonged to Qian Hanmeng from the Qian family, then, now, where these objects in the public treasury go, it is not the turn of the county lord of Anping and Du Zhixuan to call the shots!
