Thanks to the two peace charms rewarded by "You Mingyu", and thank you for the small gift from "Lang Gezi"! New books for collection.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Mu Jinrou was overjoyed, and a bright smile appeared on her face, and she took the dowry list and said, "Brother, you have officially agreed to my plan, right?" ”

Mu Bowen suddenly found that there was nothing he could do about his sister who was becoming more and more eccentric, and shook his head and said, "You can try it boldly, if you don't plan well, my brother will help you fill in the gaps." ”

"Brother, don't worry, Rou'er will work hard." She bent her mouth and looked at the dowry list.

Mu Bowen said: "The line was left by my mother to my sister. The bottom ones were thrown out by my mother to the Hu family, she thought that in this way, the Hu family would be able to treat us well, hum! But her mother underestimated Hu's greed. ”

Mu Jinrou looked at the rows on the list, and felt bitter in her heart. Not to mention those expensive utensils, there are no less than a dozen pieces of rosewood and mahogany furniture alone. And there is also a footstool of Nanmu, which is an old object.

Mu Bowen explained: "I heard my mother say that it was given by her grandmother, and my great-grandmother loved her mother and gave it to her mother as a dowry when she got married. Nanmu is very rare in this dynasty, and now in addition to the palace, it is not allowed to be placed at home even if it is found in other places, of course, the Nanmu furniture before this rule is not in it. ”

"So, this footstool is hard to buy?" Mu Jinrou asked, isn't it? Now nanmu furniture can represent the royal family, and only the royal family can match this wood.

Mu Bowen said: "That's true. ”

Mu Jinrou continued to look at it, this is a line, there are two large farms outside Shangjingxiao, of which the fields are more than 100 acres, and there is also a weaving workshop. There are five shops in the city, two selling silk and satin, two selling rice and grain, and the other selling the four treasures of the study.

She even saw two pieces of Ru kiln porcelain, and exclaimed: "This, this is really Ru kiln porcelain?" People say that having a family fortune is not as good as a piece of porcelain. There were two of my mother's dowry? ”

The corners of Mu Bowen's mouth curled, "My sister's words are fresh, my mother's two pieces of Ru kiln porcelain are also my grandfather's favorites, and I heard that my grandmother secretly put them into my mother's dowry." However, thanks to his mother, otherwise it would have fallen into the hands of others. ”

"What do you mean by my brother? This is a Ru kiln azure glazed garlic bottle and a three-legged pen wash that is also azure glaze, which is also extremely precious. I don't know, is this thing in Hu's place? ”

Mu Bowen said: "The Hu family is not qualified to touch this thing, and it is well preserved in my father's study." ”

"Whew!" Mu Jinrou breathed a long sigh of relief, "So I'm relieved." ”

In addition to these, there are many ordinary porcelain, but they are also treasures, and Ye's dowry is really rich, no wonder Hu is greedy.

It's just that she still doesn't quite understand, how could Ye Fu, who can come up with such a dowry, be defeated if she is defeated?

Xu is Mu Bowen saw her puzzlement and said: "After my grandfather went, the Ye family was forced to leave the capital by people from all walks of life, and my uncle was framed and imprisoned. My grandmother also went so sick because of this, everything in the family was gone, and my mother wanted to take out the dowry to help, but Sun gritted her teeth and did not allow her mother to take a little dowry. As soon as they left, the mother had no more to rely on. ”

"Humph!" Mu Jinrou was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, don't worry, the Sun family, isn't it just a stepgrandmother?" Sooner or later, she will have to taste what her mother has suffered. ”

As he spoke, he showed him the small pills he had made, Mu Bowen looked at the pills of different sizes and wanted to laugh, but he still couldn't hold back a smile and praised a few words. He didn't dare to take such a pill, and he didn't know if Sun dared to eat it!

Two days later, Mu Jinrou ushered in the old grandmother beside the Sun family, and at the same time, the big girl Caiyun beside the Hu family came.

Mu Jinrou didn't know this chubby old woman, so she asked, "I don't know what to call grandma, did grandmother say what she wanted our juniors to prepare?" ”

The old lady smiled and said: "The fourth girl is called the slave maid Wu Mama, the old lady said, there is no need for the children and grandchildren to prepare." She is old, and she wants to explain some things clearly, maybe one day she will suddenly lose her ....... ”

Saying that, Mama Wu actually wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

This action almost thundered Mu Jinrou, what a fake move this must have been, she was an eye-opener.

But when she looked up, Mama Zhao, who was beside the Hu family, also wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed: "Alas, if you think that the old lady's body is strong, this person can't be old." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Mama Wu also agreed.

The tone and expression of the two of them are like old sisters who have been friends for many years.

Mu Jinrou pouted, family affection could still be played like this, but she wouldn't, what should she do?

At this moment, Mama Li came out, bowed to the two of them and said, "There are two Laos, we are simple here, but there is still tea, it is better to rest and leave." ”

Mama Wu said: "No, the slave maid still has to inform the third girl." ”

Before leaving, Mama Zhao touched her nose and said pointedly: "The smell of medicine in this courtyard is really big." ”

Mama Li immediately said: "Alas, who said it wasn't! Our four girls, since we came back from the ancestral hall, we have had a high fever, and there has been no medicine residue in this courtyard. Oops, you watch your step. ”

There happened to be a large pile of medicinal residue at the door of Ronghua Courtyard, which was intentional by Mu Jinrou, otherwise how could she hide the smell of medicine in the courtyard?

Mama Zhao really shut up and left with a smile with Mama Wu.

Mu Jinrou stood in the courtyard and touched her nose, and said to herself: "I learned another trick, one will sprinkle something on the handkerchief, and the tears will roll down the corner of my eyes when I touch it." However, step-grandmother is also quite hard, and it seems that she is still very afraid of death. Hehe, the plan is already halfway there. ”

Smiled and went back to the room to continue to get her little pills, if Sun didn't have a very powerful poison, she was sure to take care of her. At that point, there's a good show to watch.

It was another bright moon, and though it was not a full moon, the crescent moon in the sky was beautiful.

The two rooms of the big house in the house, no matter the concubines, all gathered in the courtyard of the old lady Sun, this yard is also large, there are a few old osmanthus trees that have grown for many years, the osmanthus flowers gradually bloom, and the air is also fragrant.

The family banquet is not divided into male and female tables, but only two large rooms, they sit in front of two large round tables, and a table at the top is also placed on the top of the table also has sumptuous dishes, and it is the old lady Sun who sits in the back.

Sun is in her fifties, and Mu Jinrou doesn't know what she looked like when she was young, but looking at her current appearance, she really can't guess whether she was a beauty when she was young, and she looks like an ordinary-looking person.

Slightly chubby, very white skin, small eyes, not many folds, but the hair is half white, but it is very thick. He put a big pile on the back of his head, with a good hosta inserted on it, and a golden step shook Mu Jinrou's eyes.

"It's all silver!" She muttered to herself.
