Chapter 51: Same Thoughts
Yujin calculated for a moment and said: "Girl, these you gave are close to 10,000 taels, plus the 50,000 taels of silver given by Mrs., I think Miss Mei's dowry must be very good-looking now." After all, the things we send out are all high-quality products, and many of them are not necessarily bought with money. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it and said, "That's fine." Oh, and we've got some pretty little jewelry. Take them all out, I want to give them to Miss Mei. When she marries into our family in the future, whether it is rewarded to the people of our family or to those who are rewarded to the mansion, we must prepare more, and if the things that are rewarded are not good, won't they be laughed at? ”
After hearing this, Yujin nodded and said, "No, especially in the mansion." The servants of the eldest lady and the servants of the second lady, they were already very arrogant, but now they have become the queen's maiden family, and they are even more arrogant, if the things rewarded by the second young grandmother in the future are not good, they will definitely be laughed at. Once, the wife of the second son of the big house came to her mother's family, because her maiden family was an ordinary noble family, although she was a descendant, but after all, she was not from the four major families. The second young lady gave a golden ring to the personal mother of the eldest lady who came to give her a message. Who knows, the grandmother directly said to the second young lady that this kind of rough ring is used by her to reward people on weekdays, and there are many of them at home, so don't let the second young lady break the bank. The second young lady was embarrassed and indignant. ”
Chen Wenhui knew about this for the first time, and she didn't pay attention to these little things on weekdays, and after listening to it, she said: "Originally, the decent servants on the other side of the mansion were all dressed in gold and silver, and they were better dressed than ordinary housewives of wealthy families. I heard that the stewards over there also have gardens at home, and there are servants and maids waiting for them. Thinking of a gold ring is really out of sight. However, this is usually the case. will also accept it with a smile, as for what to do with it after acceptance, it doesn't matter. This is a basic rule, after all, Wenchang's sister-in-law is also the master. This is all because the Wang family's tutor is not good, and a grandmother is so rampant. ”
Yujin said: "Yes, but this is really what happened in the mansion, and those people in the mansion are such shallow-eyed things. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Then you have to be prepared." I don't want my second sister-in-law to be bullied like this. That's right. Jade brocade. Haven't you said that we bring much to reward people? What if I give it to my second sister-in-law, and we don't have it? ”
Yujin said: "My good girl, you are really smart. Confused for a while. Exactly half of the things we brought this time were purchased when we were in the capital before. It's just right for Miss Mei. As for what we need to use, won't we take the silver and buy it from the gold and silver shop in Shin Kong City? Especially in the black shop, there are more or less, and the style is still the latest. ”
Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Not really. I'm so confused when you say that. In that case, show me what we have. I'll pick some for Miss May. ”
Yu Jin hurriedly took out a page from his sleeve and said, "I have already prepared this, girl, you can choose." I'll write it down, send it away, and I'll take care of the rest. See how much is missing, and hurry up to buy it in the black family's shop. ”
Chen Wenhui looked at it with satisfaction, this jade brocade is really proper. After watching it once, Chen Wenhui said, "Hmm." Just give six pairs of red gold hollow orchid bracelets, which are good-looking. It's not very valuable, just appreciative. There are also six pairs of hollow red gold small plum hairpins. There are also these ten Songyun red gold rings and ten pairs of red gold lilac earrings. There are also ten pairs of red gold and three things. Plus a hundred red and gold mules of various colors, and a hundred silver mules of various colors. It's enough to think about. ”
Yujin counted with his fingers and said, "It should be enough." However, seeing these things, the smart girl Mei will definitely order someone to build some by herself. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, so she said: "You're right, hurry up and get all these done, write a list, I will show my sister-in-law first, and then send it to my mother." ”
Yujin asked strangely: "Why do you still want to sue Grandma?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Although it is something I sent, I also have to talk to my sister-in-law, and in the future, my sister-in-law will say that I am partial to my second sister-in-law." However, with my understanding of my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law will definitely agree to send something to Miss Mei. ”
Yujin nodded. I'm going to get the list. Chen Wenhui was here Xia He waited for dinner, changed clothes, took Yujin to the front yard, just walked out of his courtyard gate, got on a nine-curved bridge, and met a group of beauties, who came over with flowers and willows. Chen Wenhui looked at it, it turned out to be her sister-in-law, and she hurriedly beckoned Wan Meizhen to sit down in the pavilion. Chen Wenhui asked, "Sister-in-law, where are you going?" I'm going to you, but I'm glad I ran into you, or I'm going to make a splash. ”
Wan Meizhen smiled and said, "Besides, I was looking for you, I didn't expect you to come out, but fortunately I ran into you." ”
Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked: "This is a coincidence, what is my sister-in-law looking for me?" ”
As soon as she asked this, Wan Meizhen thought of what Chen Wenjun said to her when she returned to her yard yesterday.
Yesterday, Wan Meizhen returned to the courtyard, thought about it for a while, and felt that she was really lucky to be able to marry into Xiao Chen's family, and her sister-in-law was her friend. Her mother-in-law loves her so much. The husband is so affectionate. Especially the family rules that prohibit concubines are great. Even if he gave birth to a daughter in his first child, no one proposed to take a concubine. Not to mention, she is so generous that she shows up to take care of the affairs of Xinguang City, and she can display her talents.
Wan Meizhen felt that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were so good to her, and she should repay herself. It just so happened that they all sympathized with the family plight of the future Miss Yumei and wanted to lend a hand to help. At this time, shouldn't I be generous, and also take out some things and money to help Miss Mei, so that I can have a good relationship with my future concubine. Second, you can get the favor of your mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If you want to come to your husband's brotherhood, you will be very supportive.
Speaking of giving things, Wan Meizhen is really wealthy. She originally had a lot of dowry, and the Baojing Workshop that she later partnered with Chen Wenhui was very profitable. The annual dividends are comparable to the total amount of her dowry. Therefore, all kinds of rare treasures in Wan Meizhen's hands have a lot of money.
Since you are so rich, you can spend a little money to get so many benefits, why not spend it. Wan Meizhen hurriedly called the newly promoted big girl Qiu Hong, Qiu Cui came over and said: "I want to prepare a decent gift for Mrs. to take back to Miss Mei, you bring the booklet from the treasury, I want to choose one." ”
The two of them hurriedly took it, and after Wan Meizhen made the selection, she asked Qiuhong to write a list and come out, which was just done. It just so happened that Chen Wenjun came back from outside. He asked, "Meizhen, what are you busy with?" ”
Wan Meizhen hurriedly said.
Chen Wenjun looked at the list, muttered for a while, and said, "Madam, I'm afraid that there are five thousand taels of silver in it." How did you give so much at once. ”
Wan Meizhen hurriedly said: "That Miss Mei is such a good person, but the family is like this, even with the 50,000 taels of silver given by her mother-in-law, it is difficult to get decent things in a hurry, so I wondered if I could get some good things for her." In this way, when she marries in the future, she will be more beautiful, and it will also be the dignity of our Xiao Chen family. ”
Chen Wenjun was moved to hold Wan Meizhen's hand and said, "Meizhen, you are such a kind person, it is my happiness that I can meet you." ”
Wan Meizhen's face flushed with shame.
Chen Wenjun said: "Actually, I originally wanted to talk to you about this. I am the eldest son in the family. Naturally, all the good things that the family gave me were good. I have more guards than my second brother's, and they are better than my second brother's. My first qiē supply is higher than that of my second brother. The inheritance of the family in the future can be seen now. Shin Kong City is mine. The Wa Kingdom is now mine. As for the second brother, there is only Tianshui City on Luzon. That's a lot less than mine. Originally, I felt guilty. Now, as my wife, you have a rich dowry, but the second brother's wife has a lot less dowry. In this way, the second brother has more things to do than me. I took advantage of it. I thought I would discuss with you and take this opportunity to add something more to Miss Mei, which can be regarded as an indirect compensation for the second brother. Didn't expect you to get a lot of your own volume in the past. ”
Wan Meizhen said: "Since you think so, then my preparation is too simple, let's add some more and raise enough items for 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Chen Wenjun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Meizhen. After speaking, he kissed Meizhen affectionately.
Thinking of this, Wan Meizhen's face blushed for no reason, Chen Wenhui didn't know, seeing that her sister-in-law suddenly blushed, she thought it was hot, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to find me, just ask someone to sue me, and I will naturally go." What should you do if you come over in the sun and get warm? ”
Wan Meizhen hurriedly said: "It's winter, although the winter on Yizhou Island is very hot, after all, it's not summer, and it can be hot there." You won't get heat stroke anyway. I walk around every day, and it's out of the way. This is not the first child. I think it's a little more relaxed than when I had a good soul. By the way, what are you looking for me? ”
Chen Wenhui hurriedly explained the intention, and showed Wan Meizhen the list in her hand.
After Wan Meizhen read it carefully, she also took out a list and said: "Your intention is the same as mine, do you say it's a coincidence, this is the list I prepared, you can take a look." ”
Chen Wenhui's eyes widened, and after reading the list, she laughed and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, we are worthy of being good friends, and we all want to go together." Let's go and talk to my mother. She will be very happy when she hears it. (To be continued)
