Chapter 170

If Shen Qingwan knew Shen Cheng's thoughts, let alone now, even in his previous life, he would feel naïve.

No wonder my mother doesn't like it, it's just a pampered grandfather who will never grow up.

"Who knows? We don't know how much money was spent at the beginning, it was all Gu Yangxi's dowry. "The old lady said a little angrily, it wasn't that she didn't have the idea of this dowry, ten miles of red makeup, the wives of the same generation are envious of her earnings, who knows that she didn't catch a single child?" What's more, even if it is the dowry left by Gu Yangxi to his daughter, you are so blatantly embezzled, do you want to be ashamed?" The old lady was also a little angry, after all, the autumn wind that Shen Cheng personally called back was no less than those women.

For such a bill, the two shopkeepers must be clear, and she didn't dare to look at it more, lest she feel that the face of the prime minister couldn't hang up at a glance.

Shen Cheng touched his nose, unconvinced, but he didn't refute it.

In his opinion, if the shop is in Shen Qingwan's hands, no matter how much he takes, it should be his daughter's filial piety.

Fortunately, Shen Cheng and Mrs. Shen's mother-son relationship has always been very good, when the old man died, Shen Cheng was still relatively young, but he also knew how difficult it was for his mother to support this prime minister's house.

Therefore, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and Shen Cheng doesn't want to quarrel with Old Madam Shen.

"Gu Yangxi, that woman, really damn it, so much silver was spent in vain?" Shen Cheng's feelings for Gu Yangxi are very complicated, he loves and hates, and he also has low self-esteem.

"Don't talk about the things back then, let's settle this matter first, otherwise, I'm afraid that the matter of the two girls entering the palace draft will not go well." The old lady didn't want to mention the Gu family, although she also had hatred in her heart, but the deceased was gone, and she was too old to do this, so she naturally became more taboo.

Shen Qingwan knew about the conversation between the two, but she was silent and did not express her opinion.

To say sad? That's not true, I was sad enough in my previous life, and I won't be sad now.

The methods of their own mother-in-law are really extraordinary, and they have deceived the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, although they have speculation, but there is no evidence.

And the two shopkeepers came to the door, but broke their illusions and led things in another direction.

Shen Yijia had a circle of gauze on his forehead, and he was angry in the room, and the wound was so painful that he couldn't calm down: "Shen Qingwan, that little slut, must have deliberately designed me, otherwise how could it be so just, as soon as I bought something today, people would come to the door to ask for an account?" I think those two shops must still be the same little slut. ”

Shen Yijia was angry in her heart, but she didn't know what she said. Aunt Liu has lost a lot, and because she is in charge of the feed, she is exhausted for this matter, and her spirit looks a little sluggish: "Jia'er, the doctor said that you can't be excited, be careful of the wound, you have to take care of it this month, you can't delay the draft."

"Even if she has any ideas, but in the end, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and doing so is tantamount to hollowing out the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, what good will it do her?"

Aunt Liu was not without suspicions, but she was self-convinced for such reasons.

For a married girl, her mother's family and family are the most important, and Shen Qingwan really ruined the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is equivalent to cutting off her own back road, which is not beneficial to her.

Of course, these are all habitual thinking, if this maiden family not only did not protect, but repeatedly dragged its feet and sold people to death, it is estimated that anyone would rather have no family support.

Although it is a little bit of a feeling of hurting the enemy and self-inflicting eight hundred, it can pull out the thorn on the heart and do it once and for all.

Aunt Liu couldn't understand Shen Qingwan's straightforwardness and decisiveness, so naturally she wouldn't understand this approach.

For Shen Qingwan, Xiangye is a cancer that grows in his heart, even if he gets bruised all over his body, he has to dig it to live safely.

Shen Yijia seemed to be persuaded by Aunt Liu's words, but she was just unwilling: "Mother, what should I do now?" I still have the clothes I originally made, but none of them are new, and most of the jewelry is gone, so how can I go to the draft?"

Aunt Liu was also very worried: "Don't worry, there is still a month, and my mother will find a way." The reason why they came to ask for accounts today, the two shopkeepers also explained, this time you want too many things, and they are the best in the store, just today's total is more than 30,000 taels, so they want to ask for accounts, who let the prime minister never give silver?"

According to the meaning of the two shopkeepers, the prime minister has never taken the initiative, and they are not at ease, such a large sum at a time, the two stores can't bear it!

Shen Yijia pursed her lips, her forehead hurt faintly, she made noise for a while, the things she liked were still gone, and she was full of exhaustion from heartbreak, so she couldn't help but lie on the bed and fall asleep.

Aunt Liu sat in the room for a while, sighed deeply, and then went out.

Although Dong's firm is much better than the pawnshop, because she is in a hurry to get rid of it, the old lady sets a relatively low price for the second-hand things she sends.

This is a surprise for those who love Taobao in Dong's firm.

Being able to buy good jewelry for very little money is a good deal for people who are not too wealthy.

Three days later, the things sent by the old lady were almost sold, and the rest was not worth a few dollars, but there was no hurry.

Because during the search, I scavenged some of my aunt's own things, which earned more than I imagined.

There are also some new fabrics in the storehouse, although some of them are used, but the buying and selling of cloth is based on the ruler, and ordinary people rarely buy a whole horse.

The old lady didn't care whether she bought it from Tang Silk or not, as long as it was clean, she sent it all to the director's firm, and there were even two special brocades in it.

In this way, I actually got back 80,000 taels.

On the books of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were not many funds, and some chewing was left, and 30,000 taels were taken out.

There was still a difference of more than 40,000 taels, and the old lady and Xiangye began to make up their minds.

Shen Qingwan was still watching the play, but she never expected that the two biggest masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion would hit her with their ideas.

Seeing that Mama Gui, who was beside Mrs. Shen, came to invite her in person, Shen Qingwan guessed the old lady's thoughts, although it was a little unexpected, but it was reasonable.

In the eyes of grandmother and father, only when needed, will she be the daughter of the prime minister's house, isn't it?

"This silver, it's almost enough, but in the end, it's almost the mantissa number, there are 50,000 taels left, I took 20,000 taels out of my private treasury to fill it, and there are 30,000 taels ......" The old lady paused when she said this, looked around at everyone, and then fell on Shen Qingwan: "Evening girl, just move 30,000 taels from your dowry, and when you get through this difficulty, I will make it up for you."

Hearing this, the aunts and Shen Yijia all looked at Shen Qingwan gloatingly, feeling that this matter couldn't be better.

Shen Qingwan's eyes were deep, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, at this time, the old lady actually wanted to make a little money?

Obviously, there is only 30,000 taels, but it is said to be 50,000.

also said that he took 20,000 yuan in his private treasury, even if he did not earn actual benefits, but this reputation and prestige came out.

As a result, the real price difference was made up by her alone.

If it was in the previous life, Shen Qingwan would definitely come down, in addition to the dowry of the Jingchen Temple, there were really a lot of silver tickets left to her by her mother, plus the money earned from a few shops, she really didn't lack this. It's a pity that the things she once thought could be solved with silver are not a problem, and the heart of the prime minister to give money when needed is no longer there.

Let the granddaughter take out the dowry and fill the hole for them? I have to say that this grandmother, this father, once again refreshed her cognition.

Just when Shen Qing was stunned at night, Shen Cheng thought that she was unwilling, so he said seriously: "Later, now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is in trouble, as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she should be responsible, but it is only 30,000 taels of silver, it should not be difficult for you."

Although I don't know how much Gu Yangxi spent less and how much he left for his daughter, 30,000 taels is definitely not much.

This is in the general eunuch family, and the concubine marries a rich dowry of one or two thousand taels, which shows that the Gu family at the beginning, how rich Gu Yangxi was, would be jealous of the emperor, and he was really not wronged at all.

Shen Qingwan blinked, tilted her head to look at Shen Cheng, as if she was an innocent girl who didn't know anything about the world: "Grandmother and father both said so, that's naturally okay."

Hearing this, the old lady and Shen Cheng glanced at each other, and they were both happy, as for what to make up for later, they didn't care about it at all.

It's not known what will happen after the draft, but maybe you won't need a dowry at all.

In the old lady and Xiangye's thoughts, maybe Shen Qingwan didn't lack this at all.

It's rare to have the opportunity to dig, so naturally they can dig a little bit is a little bit, and even when they saw Shen Qingwan so simply, they all regretted not saying more.

Shen Qing let them rejoice a few breaths, and the whole person was extremely surprised and surprised: "It turns out that grandmother and father have prepared so many dowries for Wan'er, and it is very decent for an ordinary official family to have 20,000 taels, but I didn't expect my grandmother and father to value Wan'er so much."

Shen Qingwan's eyes were rolling with tears, and she looked extremely moved.

Old Madam Shen and Shen Cheng made a move, their expressions froze, and they looked as uncomfortable as eating flies. No wonder Shen Qingwan agreed so readily, it turned out to be so misinterpreted?

The ridicule of the aunts also froze on their faces, and they didn't know why things were so reversed?

Shen Qingwan was still moved: "Grandmother, father, Wan'er was so ignorant before, I always thought that you liked the second sister more, and I didn't complain in my heart, but now it seems that Wan'er is not satisfied...... Since the prime minister's house has encountered difficulties, it is natural to be in the same boat, grandmother, father, don't be polite, just take the dowry prepared for the late son! After getting through this, I'll talk about ......."

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Qingwan in a daze, and felt that the emotion on her pretty face was like an awl, which made her life hurt.

Dare to be affectionate, when Shen Qingwan said this, they didn't want to take out the silver from her, but they had to take a lot of money.

You can easily draw 30,000 taels, which means that there are more than 30,000 in total!

Shen Cheng felt his heart twitch, and he didn't know that he thought he was going to marry a princess......

Aunt Hua was originally full of sarcasm, but she was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shen Qingwan meaningfully, and suddenly felt that this concubine was really not simple.

Who present couldn't hear that Old Madam Shen and Shen Cheng were preparing to let Shen Qing be late for the 30,000 taels? The result is actually such a direction.

Although it is shameful for the old lady and Xiangye to calculate their juniors, the status of Miss Six in the Xiangfu itself is a little delicate, as Xiangye's woman, everyone is still happy to see Shen Qing's suffering.

No matter what, they still lost a lot of money! It is necessary for someone to suffer together in order to feel comfortable.

Shen Yijia, who was insinuated, couldn't sit still, and jumped up angrily: "Shen Qingwan, do you not understand or pretend to understand?" Is it for you to take 30,000 taels out, what is the dowry for you? The concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion married a dowry of more than 30,000 taels, do you want the imperial history to impeach her father?" The aunts looked at Shen Yijia in surprise, and suddenly had an additional understanding of this fairy-like second girl, this kind of disgraceful thing, isn't it all twists and turns, and concealment? This is good, the second girl said it clearly, although Shen Qingwan could no longer misinterpret it, but it also trampled the face of the old lady and Xiangye on the ground.

In particular, the temper of the second girl is actually like this, is she sensible? Still not sensible?

Aunt Liu was a little stunned and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Although Shen Yijia's second half of the sentence makes sense, it can't make up for the fact that he stepped on the face of the old lady and Xiangye.

Shen Qingwan's eyes widened, she looked at Shen Yijia in disbelief, then at Shen Cheng and the old lady, and mocked in her heart: "Father, is this really the case?"

In his previous life, Shen Qingwan never had the opportunity to ask Shen Cheng what he thought in person? In the end, he can deny it in every way, saying that if he is ignored, she is unfilial if she does something wrong.

Today, she wanted to know, how would Shen Cheng answer? With so many people present, was he unkind to his father, or was she unfilial?

Some things are about timing, in her previous life, she was always passive because she had many scruples, even if she turned the tables in the end, her reputation would be ruined, and she really lost eight hundred.

But now, Shen Qingwan feels more and more that it is not worth losing her reputation for this kind of person, so she has to stand firm.

Shen Cheng couldn't hold his face, and was stared at by his own, and he didn't even have a fig leaf.

Originally, it was mentioned in front of so many people, but it was just to make Shen Qingwan unable to refuse, who knew that he would shoot himself in the foot.

Inevitably a little annoyed and angry, Shen Cheng stood up with a "sigh", walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and sharpened his expression: "Are you questioning your true appearance?" Your mother left you so much dowry, what's wrong with taking some out? The Prime Minister has raised you for so many years, and you are so unwilling?"

Shen Qingwan knew that this was the kind of performance when Shen Cheng was flustered, especially when the prestige of the male owner of the Prime Minister's Mansion was provoked, and he felt that he was particularly imposing.

But when the old lady saw this, she knew that it was going to be bad, and it was easy to tear her face when Shen Cheng was not calm, especially in the face of her daughter, who was especially easy to oppress people with her identity.

Although she knew, the old lady's blocking action was still a step slower, and she watched Shen Chengzui go out.

Shen Qingwan seemed to shrink back, and then realized something, and looked up in surprise and said, "Listen to my father, my mother also left me a lot of dowry?" How do I not know, where?"

Hearing this, everyone froze, looking at Shen Qingwan blankly, feeling messy in a gust of wind.

In fact, the fact that Gu Yangxi left a dowry is everyone's default speculation, and no one has any evidence, and they don't know where it is......

It's not that no one has made up their minds, at least at first the old lady really thought about it, but unfortunately Gu Yangxi has high means and can't ask anything at all. Even if Gu Yangxi died, this would become an "unsolved case", in order not to startle the snake, the old lady and Shen Cheng both sent people to knock on the side, but nothing was found.

This kind of face-to-face confrontation is the first time, and it is also the first time that Shen Qingwan has made it clear that he doesn't know.

Gu Yangxi's transfer of the dowry was extremely hidden, and Shen Qing made a bun in his previous life, and he also carefully followed his mother's dying teachings, and kept the dowry a secret.

The matter of the dowry of Jingchen Temple, including Mama Xu and the two henchmen, did not know, and Shen Qingwan had always been very cautious. Not to mention that Shen Yijia was not reborn, even if she was reborn, Shen Qingwan was not afraid of flaws, no one knew at all, unless Duan Yuyan was reborn, she knew about it. Therefore, at this time, Shen Qingwan can calmly say that she doesn't know, and no one can show evidence that she is lying.

The old lady's hand shook, feeling that things were developing more and more out of control, if Shen Qingwan didn't know about this so-called dowry, would she still have to make up for it?

Shen Cheng stood there looking at Shen Qingwan, and suddenly a bad premonition rose, as if he had opened a lock that should not be opened, and he must be the one who suffered in the end.

Shen Qingwan was obviously not ready to let go, and looked at the old lady expectantly, "Speaking of which, my mother married into the Prime Minister's Mansion at the beginning, but she has ten miles of red makeup, and everyone in the whole capital knows it, but I haven't seen it all these years, I don't know where it is?"

"Besides, even if my mother left a dowry, that's..."

The mother's dowry should naturally be inherited by the daughter, and the husband's family is not qualified to interfere, let alone embezzle, which will become a joke of the entire upper class.

If you really want to do such a shameless thing, the men in this family will no longer want to marry a daughter-in-law, and no one wants to cheapen the dowry to others.

The teacup that the old lady was holding unconsciously fell to the ground, but fortunately the carpet was laid on the ground and was not broken, "What kind of dowry is not dowry, your current affairs are in the draft, and other things are thought about so much, it should be yours, will the Prime Minister be missing?"

The old lady never imagined that the topic would shift to Gu Yangxi's dowry, which was a topic she was very taboo about.

At the beginning, Gu Yangxi's dowry was held by himself, but others didn't know it, they just thought that they had entered the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now, how do you explain it?

If Gu Yangxi's dowry didn't go into the treasury, who can prove it? That's not in the Wuyuan, or other places in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is it possible that he is still a thief? If you don't steal anything else, you will steal the dowry of Xiangye's original wife?

I won't believe anyone I tell it.

If the dowry is still there, then it's even better, just take it out and talk about it!

No matter how you look at it, it is a dilemma, the old lady can only rely on her identity to cover it up, and expose this matter without mentioning it, of course, don't think about taking the silver in Shen Qingwan's hand.

If you really want to be tough, Shen Qing will make a fuss about the dowry, and this matter is really endless.

After being counted out in vain, Shen Qingwan lowered his head, looking very aggrieved, but he was already happy in his heart, and sure enough, it was the old lady's temper, so he knew that it would be such a result.

Although the difference of 30,000 taels is just a matter of her words, she doesn't have to pay for it herself, but she just doesn't want to cheapen these people.
