Chapter 389: Preparation for Marriage
As a result, Chang Tianlei's family affairs were quickly decided.
As soon as his wife was revealed, the whole capital was shocked. Except for a few insiders, no one would have thought that General Chang would choose the daughter of a six-rank official as his granddaughter-in-law, and the gap between the identities is too big.
Of course, it also made many people feel uncomfortable. I knew that General Lu Daochang liked the grassroots class, and his taste was so unique, that a large number of candidates had already been sent to him. It is really frustrating to cheapen a little person who has only been an official in Beijing for a short time.
In Dong Jisheng's circle, of course, there are many people who envy him, and all kinds of congratulatory posts were sent for a while. He also received congratulatory gifts from many people.
It's just that he knows his own suffering, and Dong Jisheng is really weak at this time. I knew why I had to do it in the first place. Every day when I saw him smiling outside, and after he came back, he sighed for a long time, and Mrs. Lin secretly took a sip and deserved it.
was provoked by the Liu family, so he wanted to give his baby daughter away as a concubine, is this still what a father should do? Now not only has he offended General Zhenyuan's Mansion, but even General Chang is not welcomed. As a family member, Dong Jisheng is not even more exposed to the General's Mansion at all. Therefore, as soon as Dong Jisheng returned to the mansion, he often found fault and reprimanded Liu in front of Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin was secretly refreshed, but she didn't show the slightest bit of happiness. And gradually felt that the quarrel between Dong Jisheng and the Liu family seemed to be deliberately shown to himself, in order to let Dong Yuzhen say a few more good words about Dong Jisheng in front of General Chang. Mrs. Lin also lost interest in watching the show. was busy taking care of the dowry for his baby daughter, and he didn't have the heart to watch Dong Jisheng and Liu's performances at all.
Although most of the dowries prepared by Mrs. Lin for Dong Yuzhen were her own private rooms. What she got from the princess was also the share that her daughter deserved, but it still made Liu and Dong Yuyao jealous.
Mrs. Lin is the only daughter of Mr. Lin, although she is a concubine, the dowry she gave back then was not inferior to that of the daughters of some families. So there are a lot of good things in her private vault. Some of them are royal treasures that the Liu family has never even seen. No wonder her eyes were red with jealousy.
"Yo, my sister is really generous, and the eldest lady is blessed." Liu came to the main courtyard where Mrs. Lin was, and said in a strange voice with a sour breath in his mouth.
"It's just old stuff, clean it up. Take out the dowry box full of it. The main thing is that the dowry sent from the general's palace is precious. Mrs. Lin said without raising her eyes. She knew that Liu was jealous. But so what, if you dare to calculate Dong Yuzhen's family affairs, you deserve to be cheap and unlucky.
Hearing that these many good things were sent by the General's Mansion, doesn't that mean that the General's Mansion attaches great importance to Dong Yuzhen? Visually inspect these things. It will be able to make a dowry of one hundred and twenty units. That's a lot of grandeur. Why didn't this kind of good thing fall on his daughter? Obviously, she is the best daughter in the family. Isn't it?
Liu returned to his yard full of jealousy. The servant brought the tea. She put it in her mouth without looking, almost burning her tongue, "." Want to burn Mrs. Ben to death? "Pop" and "snap" twice, the little girl's face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bloodshot, and her mouth must have been broken.
"Get out, I'll be bad luck when I see you." Kicking the little maid who was kneeling in front of him, Liu felt a lot better.
The little maid didn't dare to say anything when she was wronged, so she had to hold her kicked arm and bow her head and go out of the door.
"Mother, who made you angry again?" Dong Yuyao walked in, and just saw the little maid walking out, and her face was looked at squarely. I also know that Lu Dao is my mother's "masterpiece".
Since Dong Yuyao made friends with some of the daughters of everyone, she was very disgusted by Liu's behavior of beating and scolding subordinates at every turn. She saw that those noble ladies, even if they punished their subordinates, would not be as vulgar as Liu's, so she often reminded Liu's and asked her to pay attention to her identity.
It's just that Liu is used to it, and it is difficult to change it for a while. Seeing her daughter come in, she must have seen it, and said a little embarrassedly, "It's still these uncaring subordinates, my mother's tongue was almost burned." ”
As soon as Dong Yuyao heard it, she knew that her mother was angry with others again. "Then you don't have anything to do now, my daughter will let people bring some cold food." However, after all, it is his mother, and it is not easy to dismantle her stage.
"No, no." Liu shook his head.
"Who were you angry with?" Although Dong Jisheng and Liu had a quarrel, Dong Yuyao knew in her heart that it was only for a while, and her father was still on her mother's side.
"It's not the Lin family, who climbed the door and showed off his might in front of his mother." Liu said hatefully.
It turned out that it was all the dowry. Dong Yuyao is actually very jealous, but in the past two years since she came to the capital, she has grown a lot of insight with some ladies, and the city government is much deeper than before, and she is no longer the country girl who casually shows her emotions on her face.
"Mother, why do you have to compete with her for this length, she is just lucky for a while, the door is so far apart, how can the dowry be gathered. It's just a joke. Dong Yuyao secretly hated Dong Yuzhen in her heart, some time ago she plotted that she would not be a concubine, which already made her very unhappy, if it weren't for her own plans, she would have wanted to make a good move on Huang Dong Yuzhen's good deeds.
Dong Yuyao's vision is very different from before, since she got involved with the Qi Palace, she has also seen the wealth and glory of the emperor's relatives. She has long stopped taking those ordinary officials in her eyes, but she also knows the shortcomings of her background, so she has been acting in a low-key manner, learning how to deal with some of the ladies of the family, just to find an opportunity to show her face in front of some royal relatives.
And she already has a goal in mind, and it's not just one. One of them is Prince Qi. Since Dong Jisheng saved Prince Qi's son, Dong Yuyao has also seen Mu Qingqi a few times, of course, he only secretly glanced at it from a distance.
Despite this, Mu Qingqi's demeanor fell into Dong Yuyao's eyes and could no longer be pulled out.
When she approached the ladies of the Lin Mansion, she actually wanted to get some news of King Qi from their mouths. However, she disguised herself very well, and did not let people discover her intentions, otherwise, just the people in the Lin Mansion would be able to teach her a hard lesson.
The other, as her alternative, is Mu Qiyue. In Dong Yuyao's view, it's okay to have money if you don't have the right, but it's better to have a lot of money. As soon as the identity of the owner of Mu Qiyue Muyue Commercial Bank came out, she fell in love. Moreover, with the rumors about the relationship between Lin Zhu and Mu Qiyue, more and more times, Dong Yuyao paid more and more attention to Mu Qiyue.
So, when Lin Zhu didn't know what to do, there were two women who drooled greedily at her man.
"Mother, it's not all for you." Liu said angrily that he was fighting hard for the right to be in charge of the backyard of the mansion in order to fight for more property for his children.
Moreover, most of the finances of the Dong Mansion were subsidized by Liu's mother's family, so she was unwilling to raise the Lin family's mother and son for nothing.
Although it is a little biased, Dong Jisheng also has to admit that the Liu family, who has not slipped, has really given him a lot of financial support, so even if the Liu family is defeated, in his heart, he still puts the Liu family in front of Mrs. Lin.
Dong Yuyao didn't fully believe Liu's words, she knew that the truth was not as Liu said, in Liu's heart, the two sons were her heart. After so many years of housekeeping, most of the wealth that the Liu family has accumulated privately is for the two brothers.
However, she was not stupid enough to debunk Liu's statement.
"Yao'er, you must find someone better than the General's Mansion in the future to fight for your mother." Seeing that Dong Yuyao was a little silent, Liu Shi said on the side.
"Don't worry, mother, my daughter will work hard." Although she said this, Dong Yuyao looked down on her mother a little in her heart, where would the best candidates easily fall into her hands, and there was already little hope just by virtue of her own identity.
After Dong Yuyao sat with Liu for a while, she got up and left. She also knew that the relationship between Lu Dao and Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen was very bad, so she didn't go forward to find that uncomfortable. After all, watching it just makes me jealous.
She wouldn't do this kind of unpleasant thing.
In fact, there is another person who is not very comfortable with Mrs. Lin's generous preparation of a dowry for her daughter. That is Dong Jisheng, the head of the Dong family.
Without the Liu family's financial resources, although it will not make Dong Jisheng feel overstretched, he is indeed not as rich as before. And the dowry gift sent by the general's mansion to the Dong family, he didn't dare to stretch out his hand. So I was a little depressed.
Although Mrs. Kelin saw Dong Jisheng's thoughts, she didn't pay attention to him. I still stick to my own ideas.
As Dong Yuzhen's best friend, Lin Zhu should actually come to add a box for her. But she has another identity, that is, Dong Yuzhen's sister-in-law. So her gift of adding boxes is particularly eye-catching.
In order to support Dong Yuzhen, not only Lin Zhu came, but Zhang Manyun and Wang Qingyan also came. Not to mention Wang Qingyan, even Zhang Manyun's identity is outstanding enough. The concubine of the imperial physician family is also very important.
As a gift for adding a box, Zhang Manyun gave a pair of bracelets with pure gold and rich flowers. Wang Qingyan gave a golden hairpin with a butterfly love flower. Although the two things are not outstanding at first glance, people with a discerning eye know that they are all treasures made inside, not to mention that ordinary people have them, and they have never even seen them.
For a while, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred for Dong Yuzhen came.
However, as soon as the most anticipated gift from Lin Zhu appeared, everyone was silent. It was a whole set of jade heads, shining green, just by putting it on the table, you could feel that the greenery was about to overflow.
This is no longer envy, jealousy and hatred, many people can't wait to incarnate as Dong Yuzhen in order to have that beautiful color. (To be continued......)
