The thinness of the dowry book was so serious that he didn't expect it, and Shen Weide could already see that something was wrong just by sweeping his eyes.

After flipping through it casually, Shen Weide couldn't hold it anymore.

He gave advice to his parents and suggested that they make up more dowry for Meng Zhen.

If you don't say anything else, you can't let Meng Zhen lose the dignity of the Houmen's concubine, right?

General Shen and Mrs. Shen were undoubtedly very pleased that Shen Weide could have such an attitude, but the two did not agree to give Meng Zhen more dowry because of this.

General Shen didn't hide it from his son, he took Meng Hao's concerns as his own thoughts and told them to Shen Weide.

Shen Weide felt that General Shen was too careful, and he said to General Shen: "With our father and son, are you still worried that your sister will not be able to keep her little dowry?" ”

"Iron still needs to be hard, how can you rely on your mother's family alone?" General Shen insisted on his opinion, "Besides, your mother and I didn't say anything except for these dowries, we won't give your sister anything in the future." ”

"Your sister's current son and daughter, when they are a little older, can't your mother and I directly supplement our grandson and granddaughter?"

"And you, who are other people's uncles, can you still watch your nephew eat bran vegetables?"

Mrs. Shen also advised him, "Instead of stuffing things into her hands in one breath and letting her suffer from bandits' coveting, it is better for us to slowly patch things up without revealing them." ”

The words of General Shen and Mrs. Shen successfully persuaded Shen Weide that he did not insist on making up more dowry for his sister.

However, since then, the frequency and quantity of Shen Weide's deliveries to Ninghai County have increased significantly.

He really listened to what General Shen and Mrs. Shen said before, and for many years after that, Shen Weide has been personally supplementing his sister and nephews and nieces.

Of course, that's for later.

The current Shen Weide is just the first step in the long march.

***

"This is my sister and brother-in-law, right?" In the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Shen Weide's wife came out with her two children in person, which can be said to have given Meng Zhen and Su Shen enough face.

"I've seen my sister-in-law." Su Shen and Meng Zhen greeted Shen Weide's wife together.

"Sister and brother-in-law, don't be polite." Shen Weide's wife stepped forward with a smile and personally helped Meng Zhen, who was bent on her knees.

"Guang'er, come and see your aunt and uncle." After helping Meng Zhen up, Shen Weide's wife motioned for her son to come to Su Shen and Meng Zhen to greet her.

Seeing this, Meng Hao hurriedly asked a pair of her children to come over to meet their aunt and uncle.

The three little babies looked at each other curiously, and at the same time saluted each other's parents in a similar manner.

"Guang'er has seen her aunt and uncle."

"Ah He has seen his aunt."

"Ah Jing meets her aunt."

The three little babies said hello in a milky voice, and Meng Zhen, Su Shen and Shen Weide's wife hurriedly asked people to bring the meeting gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.

What Meng Hao gave Shen Feiguang was a beautiful gold collar inlaid with rubies, and what Su Shen gave Shen Feiguang was a set of four treasures of the study.

As for the little doll that was still held in the arms of the nurse, Meng Zhen gave him a set of Q version of the zodiac made of sterling silver and exquisite workmanship, and Su Shen gave him a piece of fine mutton fat jade pendant.

The twelve zodiac signs were drawn by Meng Zhen herself and let the Xu family's silver building create them, and the remaining three things were specially obtained by Meng Zhen to the shopkeeper Xu Da to help her buy them, which cost Meng Zhen nearly 5,000 taels of silver.

Even if they get the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the four gifts given by Su Shen and Meng Hao are already very precious and dazzling.

Shen Weide's wife was very surprised, the gifts she prepared for Xiao Nianjing and Xiao Nianhe were a jade pendant and a set of jewelry, and the price of these two things together was only more than two thousand taels when the price was full.

If there was no comparison between Su Shen and Meng Hao's generosity, she, who was an aunt, would not have given this meeting gift, but now that Meng Zhen and Su Shen's generosity were compared, Shen Weide's wife suddenly felt that the gift she had prepared was a little out of her hands.

It's just that for a while, she didn't have time to exchange it for something more expensive.

In desperation, Shen Weide's wife had no choice but to give things away.

Meng Hao saw Shen Weide's wife's discomfort, but she pretended not to see anything.

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked my sister-in-law yet." After the children thanked them and were taken away by the nurse, Meng Zhen stepped forward and talked to Shen Weide's wife affectionately, "The things you sent to my house before really helped us a lot. ”

"My husband doesn't worry about the affairs of the house at all, and he usually eats whatever the mother-in-law on the stove does, and he wears whatever the maid prepares."

"And I'm the first time I've entered Beijing, I'm a newcomer, even if I have silver in my hand, I can't find a place to buy it, right?"

"If it weren't for the things that my sister-in-law asked me to send, my family's Ah Jing and Ah He would have been hungry and cold by their parents now."

Meng Hao's words were a little exaggerated - no matter how she and Su Shen were, they would definitely not let their children starve and freeze.

If it weren't for the things that Shen Weide's wife and Princess Qin sent them, these two children would not be able to eat so richly and dress so comfortably, starving and freezing or something, it would be impossible.

But her words were a good expression of her gratitude to Shen Weide's wife, and with her words, Shen Weide's wife's embarrassing feeling because the gift she gave was slightly cheaper was immediately completely dispelled by Meng Hao.

Although she is very defensive about her sister-in-law, for fear that she will take away the huge property that originally belonged to her son, she is still a very smart person in the final analysis.

In the face of the four heavy gifts sent by Meng Hao and Su Shen, Shen Weide's wife didn't think much about it, and suddenly thought of the bad side of the young couple.

She could feel Meng Hao's respect and friendliness to her, and she could also feel Meng Hao's pride in not wanting to take advantage of her mother's relatives.

Shen Weide's wife is not the kind of strange person who "I don't want you to take advantage of me, and I am not satisfied that you don't want to take advantage of me", her sister-in-law is so backbone, Shen Weide's wife is too late to be happy.

She took the initiative to grab Meng Hao's arm, and then politely invited Su Shen to go into the house with them to meet Old Man Shen and Feng.

The pair of sisters-in-law have a heart and an intention, and they naturally get along very harmoniously, although it is only the first time they have met, but the two have tacitly reached an agreement with each other in just one meeting.
