The eldest lady returned to the Yang Mansion. When I entered the door, I asked the maid to boil a decoction that calmed the nerves and drank it, and then rested for a while, and then the mood slowly stabilized. The so-called eating a trench grows a wisdom, after this incident, the eldest lady no longer dares to play any tricks in Yulan's marriage, and has made up her mind, wherever there is Ye Yichen in the future, she must go around.

Thinking about it, I am afraid that there is no mother-in-law like myself in this world, and I am afraid that my son-in-law is afraid of such a situation, which can be regarded as a strange news in the world.

After a short rest, the eldest lady went to the council chamber and instructed the account room to scrap the original dowry list and pull out a new one. The 100,000 silver of the royal dowry was not left as a dowry and brought back to Yulan, and then he chose the good shop, Zhuangzi, and jewelry materials, and made up an additional share of about 20,000 taels, which was enough.

The accounts were transferred by the envoys, and they were even more puzzled by the change of the eldest lady's order, but they did what the master told them to do, and no one dared to ask about superfluous matters.

When the combing is done, it has already been handed over for two days. The eldest lady wanted to hurry back to the old lady and send the dowry list to Yulan, but now this list is like a hot potato in her hand.

Early the next morning, the eldest lady took the dowry list and went to Songhetang. The old lady looked at the list this time and looked at her a little strangely: "Why has this list been changed again?" ”

The eldest lady thought of an excuse before she came, and said: "I originally wanted to accompany and send some more properties over, but yesterday there was a steward from outside who came back to me, and these things are very troublesome to purchase, and I can't buy so many things for a while, so I think it is better to give more money." ”

The old lady glanced at her and said, "That's fine, when they come to the palace in the future, they will only rely on their wishes to buy something, and it will save us from being dissatisfied with her in the future, so you can complain." With all this silver, Lan Yatou's life can be lived, and I can rest assured. ”

The eldest lady thought to herself: This is more than just passable. Among so many daughters of the Yang family, including the crown princess Yuxin, no one can compare to Yulan's dowry. Who told someone to find a husband who loved her?

The old lady is also a shrewd person, seeing that the eldest lady changed her mind so quickly, and changed the dowry list beyond recognition, she knew that there was something here, but since the eldest lady didn't want to say, she didn't bother to ask. As long as she achieves the results she wants, it's fine.

The eldest lady flattered the old lady a few words, and then changed her words and said: "Mother, seeing that the seventh girl is also going to marry into the palace, I think about it, it is to fill the house, after all, the prince of Jin is different from others, and her identity is also lighter, why not open the ancestral hall and record her in my name." She became the concubine of the Yang Mansion, and it was good to stand up and be a man among the concubines of the clan! I don't know what you think, old lady! ”

The old lady couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. She can understand that the eldest lady is willing to give in to Yulan's dowry, I am afraid that this eldest daughter-in-law who is a little confused has hit a wall, but she willingly offered to record the concubine in her name and become a concubine, which is really fresh.

The old lady couldn't help but ask, "Are you really willing?" ”

The eldest lady swore a curse, "Look at what Mother said." I'm not for the good of the seven girls, her foothold in the palace is also a big help to our family, can't I even think of this idea? ”

The old lady said happily: "It's best if you think so, and it's not in vain that you have this insight that I have taught you!" "The eldest lady said in her heart: It really has nothing to do with you, the hands of the people are short, and I still have 30,000 taels of silver from the prince of Jin. What's more, his temper, how dare I not do what he has explained.

The old lady had already said: "While the wedding date has not yet been set, hurry up and pick an auspicious day to do this!" ”

The eldest lady also said: "My daughter-in-law thinks so too!" ”

The eldest lady discussed a few more words with the old lady, and then personally took Mother Wu to Lujingzhai. In the past few days, Yulan's small courtyard has been really lively, and Yulan is carefully entertaining the four girls Yufei in the house. Yufei has a big belly of eight months, and she should have been waiting for delivery at home. But I heard that Yulan is going to marry the prince this time, and she is about to fly to the branch to be a phoenix, where can she stay at home, the Niu family is also fame and fortune, so I picked her up early in the morning to take a look, and Yufei came over early today.

When Yufei arrived at Lu Jingzhai, Yulan was also startled: "The fourth sister is not at home to give birth to a baby, how did she come here, sit down quickly." Hurriedly asked the maid to bring a comfortable big circle chair, and asked someone to bring a large pillow to cushion her back, so that she could sit comfortably.

Yufei took a lot of effort to sit down on the chair and said with a smile: "Seventh sister found such a good family, and she is about to get married, how can I, as a sister, come and see you, and give you a ride." There was envy in his tone, and he turned around and called the girl behind him and said, "Cuizhu, quickly bring the gift box!" ”

Yulan said: "They are all their own sisters, fourth sister, you are so polite." Xiaoyue took the box and opened it, but saw that it was a set of red gold and ruby heads, as well as a few pieces of good material with a good color and texture. Yufei said: "Naturally, my mansion can't be compared with the palace, there are no good things for my sister, and my sister should not be disgusted." ”

Yulan wore to these days in ancient times, his eyesight had already been exercised very strongly, and he saw that the material was just that, but the face was pure gold, and the gems inlaid on it were all the size of pigeon eggs, which was worth a lot of money at a glance. Although Yulan doesn't take these things very seriously now, she knows that Yufei's dowry is not rich, and the Niu family is not the kind of rich family, and giving such a gift can be regarded as a big blood.

Yulan said: "Fourth sister, you are too valuable!" We are all sisters, and it is better to do what we can to add makeup. Thousands of miles to send goose feather gifts, light and affectionate! It's better for my sister to come and see me than to send anything. You see this is good, I will accept these horses, you should take this set of head noodles sister back. ”

Yulan is also kind. Yufei hurriedly said: "I brought everything with me, how can I take it back." If the seventh sister doesn't accept it, she will look down on me! ”

Speaking of this, Yulan had no choice but to accept it. I thought that I would double her gift in the future. So he asked Xiaoyue to collect it and put it in another special room. During this time, everyone rushed over to stammer, and Yulan just received half of the house.

Yufei saw that she accepted the gift, and she was also happy, and chatted with her with a big belly, and there was flattery everywhere in her words, Yulan was already worried about her stomach, and she was even more uncomfortable by her. I had to call Xiaoyue to invite the nine girls to come over and ease the atmosphere.

As soon as the ninth girl arrived, the eldest lady came. Yulan took Yuqing to the door to greet her, Yufei also struggled to get up, but was held down by Yulan: "You have a good rest, don't get up again, my mother won't blame you when she sees you like this." ”

Yulan and Yuqing talked and laughed and welcomed the eldest lady into the house, and Yufei came over, naturally she saw the eldest lady first. But at this time, when the eldest lady saw her, she couldn't help frowning, she still came out and walked around this month, she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead. This Niu family is too eager for quick success, why didn't Yulan see Yufei to see his biological sister before he was not sure to marry the prince? Now that I see someone married well, do I remember to hold my feet temporarily? What is this?

Seeing Yufei struggling to stand up, the eldest lady hurriedly said, "You sit, sit!" Now is not the time for those false courtesies. ”

Yulan let the eldest lady go first, and she and Yuqing sat left and right. The eldest lady's mother-in-law's superficial work still had to be done, so she first symbolically asked Yufei's situation, "Is your body good, count when you will be able to give birth in the future" and the like.

Yu Fei respectfully replied one by one, but the eldest lady didn't pay attention to it at all, and turned to Yulan and said, "I came to see you today, but I have two things to discuss with you." ”

Yulan's attitude was elegant and calm: "If there is anything my mother commands!" At this time, the three sisters were all present, Yulan wore a silver-red embroidered butterfly gown, and a primrose-colored thread-picking skirt, not only did her appearance easily overwhelm the other two sisters, but she was also dignified and elegant, and she also threw off Yufei and Yuqing a few streets.

Yufei was raised by her aunt and had a small family spirit since she was a child, but Yuqing was still young and still childish.

The eldest lady said in her heart: The prince of Jin will pick people. With such a good appearance, it is enough to be sent to the palace to be a favorite concubine. She thought about it again, and it seemed that she had never heard of the time when the prince of Jin had suffered a loss. I suddenly thought in my heart that before the King of Jin entrusted the lord of Qingjiang to say goodbye, he must have been optimistic about Yulan.

Seeing that the eldest lady was distracted at this time, Yulan coughed lightly and reminded, "Mother? ”

"Oh? Oh! The eldest lady smiled and hurriedly returned to the topic: "This first thing, your dowry, after discussing it with my mother, I rearranged it, and brought it to you to see if there is anything else that needs to be considered." ”

As he spoke, he took the list from the maid standing behind him and handed it to Yulan. Yulan said: "Tell my mother to bother!" He took it generously. Feel free to flip through it.

The eldest lady was a little depressed in her heart. Girls from ordinary families shouldn't be shy to say at this time: "Isn't it all up to the mother?" "Yulan is good, not polite at all, let her look at her.

She didn't want to think about it, if she was sitting upright, why should Yulan doubt her mother-in-law?

Yulan took the list, looked at a few large numbers, and closed it again. She naturally knew that there was no problem with the list this time, and she only thought that Yuxin had played a role in it, but she didn't know that Ye Yichen was even more credited. Said gently: "The mother's arrangement is excellent, and the daughter is no longer dissatisfied!" ”

The eldest lady said again and again: "That's good! That's good! He also pointed to the dowry list and explained to her in detail, which shop was in which place, and which Zhuangzi had how much land, and explained it clearly one by one.

Yulan listened quietly, nodding from time to time, but rarely spoke. The eldest lady didn't care, the other two girls couldn't stand it. When Yufei heard that Yulan had 100,000 taels of silver just from the marriage, her eyes were already red with jealousy.

After talking about the dowry, the eldest lady said again: "There is one more thing, I want to talk to you first, and you should also prepare in advance." I have discussed with my mother, because the prince of Jin is very different from other clans, and your current status is a little low after all, I have already ordered to go down, pick a good day and an auspicious day, open the ancestral hall, and write you in my name! ”

At this time, even Yulan was taken aback: "Mother? "In that era, birth often determines everything, and the concubine is different from the legal point of view, and it is natural for the concubine to be more valuable than the concubine, and everyone is accustomed to it, so the eldest lady is willing to do this, and even Yulan did not think of it.

"Congratulations sister!" Now even Yuqing, who has not spoken, is envious. Yufei is even more jealous and hateful, what she hates most in her life is that she was born to an aunt, but she is conscientious and has worked hard to please the eldest wife, and finally has to get such an ending now, and now Yulan is effortlessly recorded in the name of his wife and has become a de jure concubine, how can she be convinced.

I only felt a surge of anger in my heart, and my stomach ached faintly! But she lowered her head, not daring to look at the eldest lady and Yulan, for fear that they would find out the resentment in her eyes.

Yulan stood up and respectfully saluted the eldest lady: "Daughter, thank your mother for her success." "This kind of good thing is sent to the door, and Yulan will naturally not push it out.

After sending the eldest lady away, and leaving Yufei and Yuqing to eat in Lujingzhai, Yulan finally sent Yufei out of the door, and a big stone in her heart landed. Yufei is also really, if something really happens in Lu Jingzhai, she really doesn't know how to explain to the Niu family.

I usually don't know how to maintain a relationship with my sisters, but at this time I remembered that I was now in a sedan chair and pierced my ears and eyes, so Yufei could do this kind of thing. Yulan has always had a mediocre relationship with her, and it is precisely because of her temperament.

After the eldest lady found someone to see it, she chose a date, opened the ancestral hall, and invited many relatives of the family to watch the ceremony, and wrote Yulan in her own name.

When this matter is over, the eldest lady continues to take care of the dowry for Yulan, although with the help of the fifth wife, even if it is a share of more than 20,000 taels, it is not possible to finish it in a day or two. Before he could get a clue about this matter, the county lord of Qingjiang came to visit again, but this time he came to "invite".

The eldest lady was slightly surprised, this prince is also a little too anxious. No one is in such a hurry to marry their daughter. But he didn't know that the county lord of Qingjiang was also forced by the prince. The prince's mind is actually very simple, he is not afraid that Yulan will run away, but he is worried about the condition of the old lady of the Yang family, to put it mildly, in case the old lady returns to the west one day, Yulan still has to keep filial piety for her, then I don't know when Lu Dao will be able to get married.

After two discussions, the day of marriage was set for May.
