Chapter 65: The list of dowries is finally in hand
Lan Cui Pavilion
"Auntie, I didn't expect Du Zhixuan to be so favored!" Thinking of the fabric she saw at Du Zhixuan, Du Yu couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
There are so many fabrics, even if Du Zhixuan is all made into clothes, and she changes three sets a day, she can't use them up for more than ten or twenty years, but before today, Du Zhixuan never thought of sharing them with everyone, but swallowed these fabrics by herself.
Looking at Aunt Li, who was covered with different colors and different fabrics of Du Yu's bed, she didn't notice Du Yu's resentment, just because her attention was attracted by these hard-to-buy fabrics in front of her.
If it weren't for the fact that all these fabrics in front of her were some bright colors, and Du Yu was also her daughter who cared for her on the tip of her heart, she was unwilling to let Du Yu get married, the dowry was too thin, otherwise, Aunt Li would have impulsively cut off dozens of fabrics.
"You know what? When Qian Hanmeng was still alive, the General's Mansion would send all kinds of rare items every once in a while, and these fabrics were really nothing. Aunt Li stroked a piece of peach-pink brocade, and a rare touch of nostalgia appeared on her face: "Do you know, at that time, these fabrics were used to reward the subordinates, and the masters used better and higher-grade fabrics from the palace." β
It's a pity that back then, in order to maintain the noble impression in the hearts of the old lady and Du Shilang, she didn't accept a few pieces of such good fabrics, let alone those rare items from the General's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Aunt Li couldn't help but feel annoyed for a while, and once again felt that she and the old lady had joined forces, and in Du Shilang's indifferent posture, she took advantage of Qian Hanmeng's decision to give birth to her hands and feet was stupid, otherwise, right now, would she still worry about Du Yu's dowry?!
"That's right, Yu'er, these fabrics. You'll have to take care of it. In the future, whether you make your own clothes or give them to others, it will be a very high-grade gift. For you to become a housewife in the future. It is very helpful to make friends with other families. β
I have to say that Du Yu was indeed taught by Aunt Li with her heart, and she quickly understood the meaning of Aunt Li's words and took a deep breath. took back the envy, jealousy, hatred and other feelings that should not be in his heart, and a shallow smile appeared on his face: "Mother, do you know? Du Zhiwei didn't get these items! β
is also the niece of the General's Mansion, one has been cared for and loved by everyone in the General's Mansion from the heart, but the other is treated as a stranger who can be seen everywhere on the side of the road and does not need special care. This reality can't stand it on anyone, let alone Du Zhiwei, who was taught by Qian's Qiuxin and instilled with a belly full of intrigue and tricks, and her heart is becoming more and more narrow!
So to speak. How could Du Zhiwei let go of the source of this qiΔ - Du Zhixuan?
"Mother, you say, should I show favor to the fourth sister?" If it was before, Du Yu would never ask this sentence, just because Du Zhixuan, who was killed by the Qian family, would not be able to fight against the Qian family and Du Zhiwei even if she had her back to the General's Mansion.
But, now, Du Zhixuan, who has suddenly woken up. It's really not that easy to clean up!
At this point, after Du Yaxuan returned to the house, the entire mansion was turned upside down in less than three days, but she was not hurt much. can see that Du Zhixuan is really not the fool who used to be carried into the traps and traps set by everyone.
"Of course." Aunt Li said without thinking about it, she said that "there are more icing on the cake, but less charcoal in the snow", now, Du Zhixuan is not the one who needs someone to send charcoal in the snow?
"Yu'er, there will be half a year. You're going to get married, and in the future, you don't have to pay attention to this mess in the house. Therefore, from now on, you don't need to think about it three or four times in your mind as before, even if you say a word, you don't need to worry so much about what you want to do, your mother will always be your most solid support. β
"Mother, thank you." Du Yu snuggled in Aunt Li's arms and didn't say anything else.
Because, many things, doing is more important than talking!
Hug Xiang Pavilion
"She is worthy of being the granddaughter of the county lord of Anping!" Aunt Hu thought for a long time, and finally said such a sentence, "Ping'er, in the future, except for going to Lixiangyuan every day to say hello to the old lady, you have to stay in your own yard at other times." β
"Why?" Du Ping's heart moved, and she faintly felt that she had spied on something, but she didn't understand why Aunt Hu would make such a decision.
With the situation that she is not up or down now, if she doesn't often brush up in front of everyone, she doesn't know what she will be ignored by? And those who watch people come to serve dishes, they don't know how to pinch her.
The concubines of big families are not easy to do, especially Yongcheng Houfu, which seems to be a third-rate family on the surface, but regards themselves as a first-class family, learning from people everywhere, but only learning a little fur, giving people a feeling of painting snakes.
Not to mention anything else, just some of the children in the house who are involved a lot can easily grasp a concubine who is not very favored, and make her stand out from everyone......
"In the future, there will be chaos in the house." Aunt Hu sighed and shook her head, but there was a weird sneer on the corner of her mouth, "Ping'er, you have to know, 'Yellow finches catch cicadas, and mantis follows'." In many cases, the superficial battle is not terrible, but the person you thought would not attack you showed a sharp knife to you in the next moment. β
"Mother, I don't understand." Du Ping lowered his eyes and thought about it seriously, there was a feeling that the truth hidden behind the layers of dense fog would appear in front of him in the next moment, but after walking for a long time, he sadly found that he was still a long way from the truth.
This feeling that the truth is so close at hand, but you can't detect it, is really maddening and depressing.
"It's okay, later, you'll understand." Aunt Hu patted Du Ping's shoulder and smiled meaningfully.
Bun Woo Academy
"Tsk, sure enough, 'people can't look good, and the sea can't fight'!"
"A good 'pampered' girl is not easy to be tempted by external material interests? Why, I didn't find any signs in Qian and Du Zhiwei! β
"There will also be some strange things among the nobles of the family, maybe these two people are typical of them!"
"I just want to give Qian a word - think too much, it's easy to get old!"
"I want to give Du Zhiwei a sentence - brain supplement is a disease, and it must be cured!"
β¦β¦
Du Zhixuan glanced at the ghosts and ghosts scurrying around the room, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and her slightly drooping eyes revealed a touch of ridicule.
Yes, before today, who would have thought that Du Zhiwei, who had always been taught by the Qian family with a demeanor that was not inferior to that of the royal county lord, would do such a tempting thing in front of everyone?
Of course, she didn't expect that the "turning stones into gold talismans" she casually used could make Du Zhiwei have such an illusion - the entire private treasury was full of them, all of which were sent privately by the secret guards of the General's Mansion sent by the lord of Anping County!
"Miss, this is Madame's original dowry list." Mama Li walked into the house and handed a thick stack of dowry lists to Du Zhixuan.
"So much?" During the period of temporary residence in the General's Mansion, Du Zhixuan already had a preliminary understanding of the rich and noble Cheng DΓΉ of the General's Mansion, but she did not expect that there would be so many dowry lists when Qian Hanmeng got married.
The dowry list is written in great detail, covering clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., which reminds Du Zhixuan of a sentence she once saw in a book - when a nobleman marries a daughter, why do they give so many dowries, and it covers all aspects?
This is to use his own strength to show the world that his family is marrying his daughter, not selling his daughter.
The so-called marriage is just a change of place to continue living. All the food and clothing are also given by their own family, and they do not touch the husband's family a little, so that whether they speak or act, they can straighten their waists in the husband's house, and they will not be pinched by the husband's family.
After Du Zhixuan read the ten lines at a glance, she put aside the list of dowries.
Even if she doesn't have the memory of the original body, based on her contact with the Qian family in the past few days, she can also know that even if these shops and Zhuangzi still have zΓ i, they have long been in a state of making ends meet.
Under the noses of the county lord of Anping and the people of Yongcheng Houfu, he made this kind of emptying Qian Hanmeng's dowry shop pΓΉ and Zhuangzi, and then pretended to be a dignified and virtuous appearance as if nothing happened, except for the Qian family, there was no second person.
"Mama Li, do you know these shops and Zhuangzi?"
Mama Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, and a thick surprise emerged from the deepest part of her heart, but her face did not show the slightest: "Miss, do you want to hear the truth?" Or do you want to hear a lie? β
"How's the truth? What about lies? Du Zhixuan looked at Mama Li with a smile, but she didn't expect Mama Li to be ready to test her.
However, soon, Du Zhixuan suddenly realized.
Indeed, although she is a crossing girl, she is not the kind of protagonist who "shakes the tiger's body and tens of thousands of people come to vote", exuding a sense of Wang Ba's air all over her body, how can she pray to a shrewd and cunning old man like Mama Li willingly bow to the corner of her skirt because of a few words, and offer her full loyalty?
"Mama Li, I'm a more down-to-earth person, and I don't like to listen to false flattery."
Mama Li sighed in her heart, she had been waiting for Du Zhixuan for more than a month, knowing that Du Zhixuan had understood her intentions, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a bitter smile: "Miss, if I sue you, even if you take this dowry list, it will be useless, do you believe it?" β
"I believe it." Du Zhixuan dusted off the list of dowries in her hand, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her smile was meaningful.
With the Qian family's scheming, long before making this kind of hollowing out Qian Hanmeng's dowry, he definitely thought about how to take her out of herself after the incident and harm the enemy without a trace.
For example, the old lady of Yongcheng Houfu who was also greedy for Qian Hanmeng's dowry.
Such a "killing two birds with one stone" plan, if it didn't involve her, then she would definitely applaud and cheer!
