Zhou Li coaxed Mingzhu for a while, went to whisper something with the old lady in the study, and then left in a hurry without eating dinner.

After he left, Yongtai returned to the main room, "What about Brother Li?" ”

"Gone, what's wrong?" The old lady raised her head, snuggled up to Jiatong and Mingzhu beside her.

"This kid gave a few boxes and said it was counted into the pearl dowry, I thought it was something new, and when I opened it, it was full of jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, and several large boxes." Yongtai gestured with a gesture with a little surprise on his face.

The old lady smiled, "This kid is quite clever, since he gave it to you, take it, it will be a family in the future, and it will be the same for Mingzhu." ”

"Okay, then fill it in the dowry?" Yongtai pondered in his heart, how to write this too much.

"That steproom is not a fuel-efficient lamp to register one by one, be sure to be strict, don't be too general, otherwise Mingzhu will suffer in the future." The old lady is a person from the past, as far as she knows, the dowry of the Li family in the stepfamily is not much, and the dowry of the general concubine joining the Gaomen is more than 20,000 or 30,000, which is also excellent in the capital.

Mingzhu's dowry is twice as much as hers, not including the makeup silver.

"Then this calculation may exceed one hundred and eight dowries." Yongtai hurts her daughter and doesn't care about taking something by herself, and the good ones are given to Mingzhu, leaving only part for her son.

In her opinion, what her son wants to earn by himself is what a father should be, but her daughter is different, and her daughter should give more.

"Who said I was going to order one hundred and eight units, my original intention was one hundred and twenty-eight dowry. I'm going to let people go to Jiangnan to buy the rest, and by the way, I'm buying some rare Western items and coming back, okay. It's still early, so don't worry about that. The old lady made up her mind at a moment's notice.

Yongtai is naturally happy to have more dowry for his daughter, and he will not be stiff in the future, so he thanked him at the moment, "Then I won't be polite to my mother!" ”

"Okay, I know you love your daughter, go and do your job." The old lady laughed.

"Mother, let the box in. Let me take a look, and I'll give the sisters a point. Mingzhu then shouted.

"Got it." Yongtai left in a hurry without looking back.

After a while, the next person carried the box in, and Mingzhu gasped. The chest is the largest wooden box of special characteristics, and when I open it, I look at the various kinds of jewelry inside, and many of them are still cut out of gemstone bumps, and I haven't had time to make jewelry. There are also Dongzhu cat's eye agate and other items that are thrown into the box in pieces.

"Good boy. That's a lot. I really went to rob. Mingzhu casually picked up a ruby block with eyes like pigeon's blood, put it in his hand and looked at it, the best goods were really good.

"It should be a small profit, so it's not good to take it back." The old lady also laughed, such things are all looted, and the military generals will have such a secret income, and according to the rules, some of the seized things will be left for the sergeants who give their strength to share a point, and part of the money fields will be exchanged for the orphans of the dead soldiers. Some of the generals will take it back.

Mingzhu picked up a gem and handed it to Jiatong, "Take it." I'll go back and make jewelry for you to wear. ”

Jiatong held a piece of ruby from the boss in his arms, stared at his round eyes, searched back and forth, and picked up a piece of emerald jade, "Sister, I want this." Pretty. ”

"If you like it, take it away." Mingzhu smiled and nodded.

The two pieces that Jiatong picked were very big, and he couldn't hold this or that, and the sweat came down, making the old lady and Mingzhu laugh, and he didn't help when he looked at him.

Jiatong pouted with aggrieved tears, "Sister is bad!" ”

"Hahahaha! How greedy you are, you can't let the maid hug you, hahaha! Mingzhu smiled and trembled, hugged Jiatong and kissed it fiercely, the little thing is cute!

Mingzhu picked up the box again, picked up some good color rubies and distributed them to his sisters, and after a while, he picked up a small pile of various colored gems, and then took a breath, "Go and send this to my sister's room, this pile is Mingya's, this pile is Jiazhen's, that pile is Jiaxuan's, these pieces are Jiatong's, don't be mistaken." ”

"Yes, the slave must remember well." Nishang hurriedly took the tray and box and loaded it, and sent a maid to send it over.

"There is also Dongzhu here, Dongzhu is also good-looking, make some jewelry to wear." Mingzhu asks the old lady for her opinion.

"It's up to you, Dongzhu must be stored properly, otherwise it will easily change color." The old lady thought that the jewelry with pearls in the pearl was also very good-looking.

"Well, sit on two sets of Dongzhu head jewelry, one set for me and Jiaxuan, this is not a taboo. It's still early, I'll pick some good ones for her then. ”

There are so many jewels sent by Brother Li, and they are all stuffed into the box without even a box, and the full ones are overflowing. The rest of the box was a mess of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.

"Oops! This has to be sorted out, why is it so messy. "Mingzhu was annoyed to death after two hits.

"What is Jiazhen doing?"

"Let's draw." Nishang thought for a moment and said.

"She's idle, you go and tell Jia Zhen to let her help me clean up, I can't get this." Mingzhu is impatient and unwilling to do this delicate work.

"Yes, your sister is careful, let her get it." The old lady smiled and nodded.

"Let her help me get it, and tell them what she likes." Mingzhu is not stingy, not to mention that there are too many of them, and he can't finish wearing one head.

"Sapphire and jade are more suitable for Jiaxuan, I will choose to pick some for Jiaxuan and send them over." Mingzhu muttered.

It just so happened that the three sisters Jiaxuan and Jiazhen Mingya came over after getting something, and when they heard that Mingzhu was impatient to clean up these things, they came over to help open their eyes by the way.

"Sister, brother-in-law really loves you, you have to let my sister open her eyes." Jia Xuan walked in with a smile.

"Take whatever you like." Mingzhu was happy to look at a pair of calligraphy and paintings, completely ignoring the mess on the ground that was tossed by her.

"My sister has given enough, there is also a jade carving, Jiazhen, come and see, how good the carving is." Jia Xuan rarely held a delicate jade carving in her hand and played with it.

The jade carving is extremely exquisite, with relief carving and hollow carving, delicate and good-looking, and the jade itself is also an excellent mutton fat white jade, which is a rare boutique.

"Well, don't say it's really a masterpiece, you look at the sub-painting, it's a real handiwork." Jia Zhen also praised with a sigh.

"Okay, don't be in a hurry to appreciate it, let's pick up the registration and make a book, my sister is impatient to get this, let's get it, what does it look like in the house." Mingya is a little clean, and she can't stand such a mess in the house.

"Huh! Well, who let us take other people's hands short. Jia Xuan squeezed her eyes at Mingzhu.

"Well, if you take my gift, you have to work for me." Mingzhu grinned. (To be continued.) )
