Chapter 60: Adding Makeup Causes Resentment (1)

"Today, I'm going to announce something." The old lady raised her head, looked at everyone casually, and finally stopped at Du Zhixuan.

Such a cold gaze made Du Zhixuan's back cold, as if a poisonous snake crawled over her body, shuddering.

"Ju'er is the first girl to marry in the house, and the amount of her dowry is related to the situation of other girls in the house who marry in the future, and it will also affect the opinion of other families in the capital about our brave and sincere government. Therefore, I decided to take out 30,000 taels of silver from the public treasury this time to buy a dowry for Yu'er. ”

The last sentence, the old lady deliberately looked at the Qian family and said, no matter how dissatisfied the Qian family was, before Du Shilang's brows wrinkled, she could only take a deep breath, reluctantly suppressed the anger in her stomach, and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Mother, although Yu'er is the eldest daughter in the house, but Ju'er's identity is there. According to the usual practice, a family like us will take out a maximum of 10,000 taels of silver for a dowry. If it is too much, I am afraid that outsiders will think too much. ”

The Qian family, who saw Du Shilang's contemplative expression in his eyes, was overjoyed, but his face was silent, and he slowly added: "Especially those who have friends with us, you must know that even the concubines in the palace only have 40,000 taels of silver to buy a dowry. ”

Du Shilang's eyes flashed, in fact, he didn't care about the amount of silver taels? Or it can be said that as a man who fights outside, he is educated that the affairs in the inner house are taken care of by the hostess of the Qian family.

And with the current situation of Yongcheng Houfu, not to mention 30,000 taels of silver, even if it is more than 100,000 taels of silver, it is no problem!

Du Yu is Du Shilang's first daughter, and in a way, he has a lot of fatherly love. However, compared with his official career, such a favor is inferior.

"Mother, this ......"

The old lady glared at the Qian family fiercely: "Qian, did I say that the 30,000 thousand pieces of silver were all used to buy dowries?" This rule is dead, man is alive, what is your head for? Can't you think about it more! No matter how bad it is, when you married into the mansion yourself, didn't the county lord of Anping also give you an extra few hundred thousand taels of silver? ”

Without looking up, Qian could feel that the people around him were looking at him with special envy, jealousy, and hatred. Even, even Du Shilang looked at him with a puzzled gaze.

Qian opened his mouth, his face turned blue and pale, and he wanted to argue a few times for himself, but the old lady didn't want to listen to her at all, so she commanded directly: "Okay, this matter, just do as I say." In addition, the makeup gifts for the girls of you are also going to be prepared. ”

The last sentence was said to Du Zhixuan and others: "Since you have never done these things before, and the grandmother waiting next to you may not know it, I will mention you one or two here." ”

"Presumably, you should know that the bride wants to show her dowry, so the amount of this dowry, fundamentally speaking, is not only related to the status of the bride in her husband's family, but also related to your future life."

"Every housewife will have a preliminary understanding of her children when they are ten years old. If there is no suitable marriage partner, then they will set their sights on other families in the capital. ”

"What do they tend to use to make identification choices? Not only for each banquet, but also for the makeup of the sisters when the daughter of the family is married, so as to have a preliminary understanding of her character and character. ”

Du Zhixuan looked at the old lady lightly, as if she didn't hear the meaning of the old lady's words.

Du Ping lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had suddenly become interested in the patterns on the carpet.

Only Du Zhiwei looked at Du Zhixuan coldly from an angle that the old lady couldn't notice, and her heart was faintly ruthless: If it weren't for Du Zhixuan, she would definitely not need to bleed heavily!

No, actually, she doesn't need to bleed profusely either.

Since this qiē is caused by Du Zhixuan, and Du Zhixuan is still her sister-in-law, why can't she take on this responsibility as a sister-in-law? Even, perhaps, she can get some moral and material compensation through this.

For example, the set of vases that she had admired for a long time with hand-painted pictures of the Four Gentlemen......

Even the three girls in the long room with Du Yu's siblings were indifferent, not to mention the girls in the second and third rooms who didn't like Du Yu's arrogance and favor, and that was even more for Du Ping, looking at the nose and the nose and heart, a picture of not being in a state.

The old lady, who hadn't waited for everyone's response for a long time, paused with her fingers twisting the Buddha beads, and looked at Du Zhixuan's eyes full of obscurity, "Xuan'er, what makeup have you prepared?" ”

Du Zhixuan stroked her sleeves with a puzzled expression: "Grandmother, a few days ago, I carefully selected a few gifts for the eldest sister, don't the eldest sister like it?" ”

The last sentence, Du Zhixuan looked at Du Xuan and said.

Without waiting for Du Yu to answer, Du Zhi lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said, "If the eldest sister doesn't like it, return those gifts to me, and give them to the eldest sister after I get other items next time." ”

What does it mean to be shameless? This is called shamelessness!

In an instant, everyone looked at Du Zhixuan with surprised and incredulous eyes, and their imaginations flowed.

Du Yu's lips moved, and when she was about to speak, the old lady looked at Qian with a hesitant and unhappy gaze, although she didn't make a sound, she showed with her actions that Qian, the housemother, had not fulfilled her duty of parenting at all!

Qian pursed his lips, knowing that if he didn't come out today, he would definitely be hated by the old lady, so he looked at Du Zhixuan with a helpless and doting gaze, and said angrily: "You girl, before, I didn't sue you, this so-called makeup refers to giving your own cherished items to your sisters, rather than giving them to your sisters with items that others give you casually!" ”

"Auntie, I understand." Du Zhixuan blinked and said in a puzzled tone: "But what I gave to my sisters is the items I like very much, don't you like it?" ”

"It's my fault, I simply thought that what I liked, a few sisters would also like it, but I didn't expect ......"

It seems that the words in the book that courtesy is light and affectionate are not credible. Knowing this, I should have listened to my grandmother's words and only sent the expensive ones, not the right ones. ”

Du Zhixuan lowered her head slightly, like a poor, weak and innocent little animal that had been hurt by someone.

"That's it, in the future, if there are any more of these things, I'll keep them for my own use, so as not to give them to a few sisters, and if I can't get a thank you, it's thankless."

Du Zhixuan, who said that she was good, would make a big noise, and then everyone grabbed the handle and ordered Du Zhixuan to present all the rare items newly sent by the General's Mansion?

This script is wrong!

You look at me, and I look at you, or they are silent, or they are pretending to be puzzled, or they are silent......
