Mei Ying was busy with Xie. Zhuo Shi thought about it and said, "It's just that there is one more thing in this. We are in such a hurry to buy a dowry, although we have money, but there are some things that can be purchased with money, and some things that cannot be done with money. For example, treasures of calligraphy and painting, antiques, decent furniture, and the most important farm house, shop. There is no need to prepare this house. But what about the fields? I heard that the fields near the capital are very expensive, and besides, you can't buy them with money. There are also shops in the capital that are more expensive and not so easy to buy. ”

Mei Ying said: "This sister-in-law doesn't have to worry. The 50,000 taels of silver, you only need to buy things for general use, and they must be of good quality. Because on the day of marriage, the concubines of the Chen family have to go to see the dowry. Can't lose face for Mrs. Chen. As for the house, as I said just now, there is no need to buy it. There is already one. There is no need to buy fields. Because Xiao Chen's family didn't buy land in Dachu. Originally, there were some, but now they are all sold. Because Xiao Chen's family doesn't know how much land there is overseas, millions of acres can be had, where to buy land next to the capital, this is not at all, and no one says us. On the contrary, if we buy land, we will be laughed at. And the same goes for the paving. That person, well, is the city lord of Tianshui City, and he still wants to sell the shops in Tianshui City to the merchants of Dachu, where do you still need the shops in the capital? ”

Everyone thought about it, but when Mei Ying mentioned Chen Wenlin, even if she was used to being generous, she couldn't help but be shy. Zhuo Shi smiled and said: "No, how did I forget it, my uncle is not an ordinary person, my uncle is the lord of a city, and every city belongs to my uncle, where do you want to buy land in Dachu." Pavement. If it is really purchased, isn't it equivalent to slapping my uncle in the face? That's easy, just buy some things. ”

Mei Ying couldn't hold back her shyness and said, "Even things are easy to do." The things that Mrs. Chen gave me privately included some things that my sister Wen Hui added makeup to me, all of which were treasures, I went over to see them some time ago, and they were all stored in the house I said, and it was enough to have those scenes. And also. My future sister-in-law also gave me a lot of treasures. Clothing and the like. It's all hard to buy outside. It's really not much, please go to the auction house in the capital to have a look, where there are often some precious antique calligraphy and paintings auctioned. In addition, the Hei family opened several shops in the capital. There are all kinds of furniture, supplies, clothing, and jewelry. It's all good things, just ask my brother and sister-in-law to help me buy them. The rest is ordinary fabric. Rouge gouache and other things, I really don't know much about them, so I'm bothering my sisters-in-law. ”

Feng Shi stammered: "Big girl, you are really blessed. Not only does the future mother-in-law love you so much. It's my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law is so good to you. You haven't even crossed the door, and I'm actually putting on your makeup. This sister-in-law. It's the first time I've heard my sister-in-law add makeup to my brother and daughter-in-law. But. I've heard before, your sister-in-law, is from the Jiangnan family, a family of businessmen, and in terms of identity, she is not as good as you. However, since she entered Xiao Chen's family, her mother-in-law and husband were very fond of her, and later, Chen Wenjun, the eldest of the Chen family, became the city lord of Xinguang City. The affairs of Xinguang City are all taken care of by the Wan family. Wan got half of her mother's children and in-laws to go to Xinguang City, and now most of the officials in Xinguang City are related to Wanjia. Now Wanjia is no longer a merchant family, and has suddenly become a famous family and a family of eunuchs. It's really enviable. So, your sister-in-law, she is very rich, and she gives you something, maybe it's also to please your mother-in-law. I think your mother-in-law is very satisfied with her behavior. You will marry in the future, and you will have to learn more like your sister-in-law. ”

Hua said: "Also, this county lord of Wenhui is personally sealed by the emperor." I heard that the emperor said that she was the richest girl in Dachu. She has her own city and her own business as a girl, not to mention it, she is still the manager of Nanyang, and she is still in charge of our uncle. She is so rich and powerful, she can't be guilty of slapping you, on the contrary, as a sister-in-law, you should slap her. But she is so generous to you, which means that she is very satisfied with your marriage and is very satisfied with you. You must have a good relationship with her in the future. ”

Zhuo said: "Actually, there is nothing, the key is to have a good relationship with my mother-in-law." After all, my uncle is in Luzon all year round. Most of the eldest girls are serving their mother-in-law in the capital, the sister-in-law is in Shin Kong City, and the sister-in-law is in Luzon. If you don't see each other all year round, it's useless to have a good relationship. It doesn't matter if it's not good. ”

Mei Ying said: "Originally, I thought the same way. But Mrs. Chen told me that she wanted me to go to Luzon after I got married, and go to help Bang, En, Help, En, help that person manage Tianshui City. also said that if you want to learn like your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law will take good care of Xinguang City. ”

At this moment, the three sisters-in-law were all surprised, and Zhuo asked, "Does your mother-in-law mean to let you follow in office?" Don't have to serve her? ”

Mei Ying nodded.

The three of Zhuo's family were suddenly envious. Before, Mei Ying's mother-in-law gave the house and silver tickets, although they were envious, but they were not very envious. As a woman, after getting married, which one should not be disciplined by her mother-in-law. Okay, it's just harder, and it's not angry. There are many others, who were tortured by their mothers-in-law, sick and died. This world is still filial piety first. Mother-in-law is older than Tiandu, I think back then, they all survived, but now I heard that Mei Ying didn't have to serve her mother-in-law, and went directly to office, how good is this, I really envy the dead.

Mei Ying continued: "In addition to this, Mrs. Chen also said that I would like to invite the people of my mother's family to go to Tianshui City together, assign official positions according to their respective talents, and help me manage Tianshui City. ”

At this moment, the three members of the Zhuo family couldn't sit still, they didn't expect to come to the capital to help the clan sister take care of the dowry, and they could encounter such a good thing. It's pie in the sky.

Zhuo's voice trembled. Her husband, as the second son of the patriarch's family, will definitely have no place in the position of patriarch in the future. My husband is not very good at studying, and now, he is just a showman, and he still has a face in his hometown, but he didn't even get in, so how can he become an official. Where will this family develop in the future? Although the Mei family is a big family and does not have to worry about eating and drinking, it is not possible to be rich and noble. Now I heard that it is a good thing to be able to go to Luzon Island and become an official. Before, they were still envious of Mei Ying's sister-in-law for getting all the families to Xinguang City to be officials, but they didn't expect that their Mei family could also follow Mei Ying. Zhuo's trembling voice asked, "Our Mei family is going to Luzon, can your mother-in-law be happy?" Can the mother-in-law of that family be happy that her daughter-in-law has brought all her mother's family into her own property? ”

Mei Ying said: "At first, I also had such worries. But my father said that Mrs. Xiao Chen is a strange woman, and her mind is not comparable to ordinary women. She was telling the truth. You also said just now, didn't the sister-in-law Wan take all the children of the Wan family to Xinguang City? Wanjia is just a family of merchants, but our family is a family of poetry and books. ”

Fahrenheit clapped his hands and said, "Yes, but isn't it, Wan's can do this, your mother-in-law still wants you to learn from her, isn't it just for you to take our Mei family out too?" I heard that Tianshui City has been built very well now. We had a good chance to go, and secondly, we didn't have to sleep in the open like we did at the beginning. No, I'm going to talk to your brother, and we want to go too. ”

Mei Ying said: "I think my father has already told my brothers about this. Go back and consult again. Not only do I hope that my three sisters-in-law and brother will go together, but I also hope that more people will come over. In this way, I will not be alone in Nanyang. ”

The three Zhuo were overjoyed.

Mei Ying suddenly thought of something and said: "Three sisters-in-law, what we said today, please don't say it in front of my mother, about this house, and the matter of the silver ticket, neither my father nor I mentioned it in front of my mother." I'm afraid that my mother will do something bad. Also, after a while, maybe the Chen family will come to hire. Mother had already planned it. The Chen family's dowry, she will keep it all. When the time comes, the sisters-in-law will not fight with her. Mrs. Chen thought of all this. She said that my mother has raised me for so long, and it is also appropriate to leave a dowry for my mother. Anyway, with the 50,000 taels of silver for my dowry, I can also buy it very well, so I don't need to put the dowry in. ”

Zhuo's and Hua's and others immediately became angry: "This aunt is too presumptuous, and my uncle is just letting her do it?" How can you covet your stepdaughter's dowry? Such an unvirtuous woman would have been divorced long ago if she had been in the clan. ”

Although Mei Ying is not ashamed of her stepmother, she is still towards her father, and when she heard several sisters-in-law say that her father is not, she still has to speak for her father: "Actually, my father is also very angry with my wife for doing this, but how can I divorce her?" When my grandparents died, my stepmother cooked and used my stepmother's dowry, and the family has also used my stepmother's dowry in the past few years. Stepmom meets the three no-go. Also, the stepmother gave birth to several sons and daughters, these are the father's blood and bones, all of them are from our Mei family, and the father is already very pitiful when he sees that our sisters and brothers have lost their biological mothers, how can I bear to let the brothers and sisters from the stepmother lose their biological mothers again. So in the past few years, the power of the housekeeper has been in my hands, and my stepmother has no way to temper us. And there will be no trouble. Her father endured her. ”

After Zhuo Shi heard this, he couldn't help but hold Mei Ying's hand and said, "Good sister, you are really bitter." However, God has eyes, you lost your mother when you were young, and you had a hard time, but fortunately you met a good mother-in-law's family, and you will enjoy great wealth in the future. “

Mei Ying smiled embarrassedly. (To be continued)
