Chapter 133: Promise

Chen Wenfeng's courtyard was quiet, and those who came to congratulate him had already left, so it was very quiet at this time. As soon as Moyu walked into the courtyard, her mother-in-law greeted her with a smile and said, "Is it Moyu girl?" But you're here to say hello to the girl? ”

Moyu is a first-class maid next to the eldest lady, usually Chen Wenfeng has seen it, respects her as a servant of her mother, and has always been respectful, and the servants in the house are even more respectful, so Moyu is arrogant in front of the subordinates on weekdays, but today in the face of this gatekeeper, but he doesn't dare to put on a score, first, because Chen Wenfeng has always been very majestic, the rules are extremely strict, although he is polite to Moyu, Moyu never dares to put a score in front of Chen Wenfeng, and even the big maids for Chen Wenfeng dare not take out her sister's score, Therefore, Mo Yu has always been kind and pleasant to the people in Chen Wenfeng's courtyard. Second, what is Chen Wenfeng's identity now, but he is going to become the princess of the county, and he has ascended to heaven by himself, and Moyu is becoming more and more kind to the people in Chen Wenfeng's courtyard.

At this moment, Mo Yu said to the mother-in-law with a smile: "I'm tired of my mother, the eldest lady is afraid that the girl's meal will not be good, so she specially asked the kitchen to make some snacks for me to deliver." ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly smiled and said, "Where does Miss Moyu come and use Tongyu?" ”

Although he said this, he still ran quickly to tell the maid at the door to report. did not invite Moyu to enter the door, and Moyu was not angry, knowing that Chen Wenfeng had always been like this, the rules were very large, and the royal majesty was very strict, so Tingting stood curly and was not in a hurry.

Soon, a pretty and neat maid came out of the house, it was Chen Wenfeng's eldest maid Hongxing. The red apricot man hadn't arrived yet, and he had already said in a loud voice: "Sister Moyu, are you here?" Why stay outside, hurry into the house, the big girl is waiting. ”

When Mo Yu saw this posture, she was relieved first, and it seemed that the girl had no intention of opposing this marriage. Mo Yu smiled and entered the house with Hong Xing, and saw Chen Wenfeng sitting upright in the room, still holding a book in his hand. looked leisurely, but with a shy smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, Mo Yu put his heart back in his stomach, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Girl, the eldest lady is afraid that the girl will not eat a good meal when she is busy, so let the kitchen get some snacks and let the slave maid bring them to you, you can taste it." ”

After that, the snack box was handed to the red apricot. Mo Yu said again: "The slave maid wants to say hello to the girl." Kowtow to the girl. ”

Wen Feng blushed and glanced at Hong Xing, who hurriedly reached out and helped Mo Yu up. Wen Feng said: "Sister Lao, thank you mother, I will rest after eating a snack." Today I can't help my mother in front of me. Let the mother not be too tired. Take a break. ”

Mo Yu hurriedly agreed, and when she saw Wen Feng's blushing face, she thought to herself that no matter how generous the girl's family was, she was shy when it came to her marriage. Big girl, that's still good. Busy to leave.

After Moyu left, Hongxing asked, "Girl, do you want to eat some snacks?" ”

Wen Feng said: "Are you really your mother here to bring me snacks?" It's not that I'm worried. But this time she was too careful. This is also the wish of heaven and man, if the emperor gives a marriage to another family, I don't care about the emperor's will, even if I die. However, this person is him, and I have nothing to be dissatisfied with, I can only thank God for treating me so well. From now on, you will be at home to get married, you will go out less in the future, help me do some work to be married, and save yourself from getting into trouble. ”

Hongxing and the maids in the house agreed.

Here, Mo Yu quickly walked back to the front. Quietly told the eldest lady Wang, Wang was very surprised how her daughter was so obedient this time, but this time is not the time to pursue it, there are many guests, and you have to entertain, but this time Wang's heart is put down, and it is a real smile.

The Chen Mansion in the capital was lively for a few days before he was free, and then he was about to prepare the dowry for Wen Feng. In fact, the Chen family had a rule before, and when a girl like this got married, the dowry was prepared early in the morning. Basically, it was a rule of five thousand taels of silver. That's a lot. But this time Chen Wenfeng married the royal family, and the Chen family got together to discuss.

Chen Zhaonan, the old lady of the Chen family, had a gray hair and beard, but he was in good spirits, and said at this moment: "Wen Feng's marriage is given by the emperor, and he is a concubine for the prince, and the dowry prepared before is a little thin, so I have to add some, second, I have been the two of you have been the housekeeper all these years, see how much more can the family come up with?" ”

The second old man, Chen Yuanluan, looked shrewd, and when he saw his father at this moment, he asked: "The family has not had any real power in the past few years, and they have all relied on the rent of the land and shops, and the children are all older, and it is gradually a little difficult to support, where can I come up with a lot of silver?" ”

Chen Zhaonan was not happy when he heard this. The eldest lord Chen Yuanfeng and the eldest lady Wang were even more angry, and were about to speak, when the second lady Li hurriedly said: "No matter how tight it is, we must handle the dowry of the eldest girl, this is a major matter for our Chen family, and it will be a big deal in the future." When the mother entered the palace, although she was only a side concubine to the prince at that time and the current emperor, our family still prepared a dowry of 20,000 taels of silver, which is much more than the second sister and the third sister. Now the eldest girl is married to the prince and is a concubine, so why should she be a little higher. ”

The eldest lady was very happy when she heard this. Li said: "However, the eldest sister married the prince back then, and now the eldest girl is just an ordinary prince, and she is not even a prince, but a county king, so it's not good to follow the eldest sister." ”

When the eldest lady heard this, her face flushed: "Brother and sister, what do you mean by this, are you disgusting the prince?" ”

Li Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "It's too big to dislike the prince's hat, but a family like ours, in fact, don't care too much about whether the prince is a prince or not, the key is to see if there is real power, the fourth prince is still studying in Taixue, he has no errands, just an idle county king, or no mother, what can such a prince do?" There are many royal relatives in the Zongren Mansion, and most of them have to rush to tie up our family, I think for the emperor's face, just add another 5,000 taels, so that the dowry of 10,000 taels is also very beautiful. ”

The eldest lady Wang was angry: "Second brother and sister, you are too much." ”

was about to say it, Chen Zhaonan had already slapped the table and said, "Okay, don't make any noise, what does it look like?" ”

The old lady, who had not spoken up, said: "Okay, so let's do it, they are all girls from the Chen Mansion, there are too many dowries, and it's not good, for the sake of the royal family, it's just 10,000 taels." The second family, you prepare carefully, and you must be practical. Old man, you can take out your money too, and add more to Wen Feng. According to the convention in the palace, it is to give our family a dowry, and also allocate a part of the silver to give our family a dowry, we don't want this money, you do your best to do it for your daughter, so that the public is 10,000 taels. The royal part is out again. It is estimated that there are 10,000 taels. The two of you can make up for it a little more, and you'll be fine. At that time, the mother will be rewarded, and Wen Feng's second aunt and third aunt will also add makeup. There are also the third family, and they also sent a letter to their family, and now the richest family is their family, although they donated all the money to the emperor and the clan, it is estimated that there are still many young and old left, you go to them, they will definitely express it, so calculate, more than the dowry of the mother back then. What else are you not satisfied with? ”

The Wang family thinks about it, with these estimates, there is also a dowry of almost 30,000 yuan, which is also very good in the capital, more than when his daughter-in-law came back then, so he is silent.

The news soon reached Chen Wenfeng. Chen Wenfeng sat upright. Silent with a brow. Hongxing didn't say anything, but Yu Li said: "Girl, it's okay like this, it's almost 30,000, it should be enough." ”

Wen Feng said: "These 30,000 taels, first of all, are 10,000 taels from the public, but they are not silver, they are things, they are all purchased by the second wife, you dare to believe it, I am afraid that it will be worth 7,000 taels, and it must be something that is not applicable." The silver rewarded in the palace is okay, but if it is also used for the second wife, I am afraid that it will be deducted again. As for the aunts, the makeup must be jewelry or something, such things can only be placed, not used, so, where are these enough? ”

Hongxing and Yuli thought about it, but I was afraid that these big ladies didn't think of it. Hongxing hurriedly said, "Girl, what should I do then?" ”

Wen Feng said: "He has a hard time in the palace, he has no mother, he must have no money in his hands, if I marry and have no money in my hands, how can I live?" I told my mother that I would like nothing for my dowry, and that my family would give me money, and that I would let my mother buy it for me herself. When my mother wants all this money back, I will do it myself under the banner of my mother. When the time comes, it will be better for us to have the manpower to procure it. ”

Hongxing and Yuli were very impressed when they heard this, and hurriedly invited the eldest lady over, and Wen Feng said that the eldest lady Wang was moved. Wang ran to ask for the silver and gave it to his daughter to make her own dowry. The second lady Li was very unhappy, but Wang went to tell the old lady, and the old lady agreed, and the second lady handed over the silver despite being unhappy. At this time, Zi Wenfeng was busy directing his manpower to purchase the dowry in full swing.

Not long after the news of the marriage reached Deqing, a letter from the Chen Mansion in the capital came. Chen Yuanheng saw that this was another letter asking for money, and smiled bitterly, which shows that getting rich is not a good thing. Originally, Chen Yuanheng could ignore it, after all, this is a letter from the eldest brother asking for money, and it is not a father, this can be given or not, Chen Yuanheng was at odds with the two brothers, and he didn't plan to care after reading the letter, but soon received a letter from Chen Guifei, Chen Yuanheng changed his mind, discussed it with his family, and took out 20,000 taels and gave it to Chen Wenfeng as a dowry.

When the money arrived in the capital, the Chen family was surprised, they didn't expect Chen Yuanheng to give so much money, but Chen Yuanheng's money was directly given to Chen Wenfeng, and he didn't go from the account of the public middle school, and the second family could only watch and get angry. Chen Wenfeng was very moved when he looked at the 20,000 taels in his hand, and he had a good impression of this third uncle out of thin air.

Then there was something even more surprising, a letter also came from the Chen family, and there was also a hundred thousand taels of silver with the letter, which was specified to Chen Wenfeng as a dowry. This time, the Chen family in the capital was boiling. Of course, after Chen Wenfeng was surprised, he took the total of 120,000 taels of silver in his hands, and bought the dowry by himself, without the hands of the third party at all, and several aunts in the Chen family's big house and Chen Yuanluan and his wife in the second room all gritted their silver teeth.

There is a big gap between the Chen Mansion in the capital and the Chen Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River.
