Chapter VIII

Jiang Linglong was in distress, but Kuang Yu did not severely punish anyone for this, only deducted Orange Moon's monthly money for three months, and punished her to kneel in Chunmu Garden for four hours, in order to punish Orange Moon for leaving her post without permission and to set an example.

Orange Moon was also willing to be punished, she was called to spare a cloak for her wife to prevent the cold, and she was rushing back, but she saw the owner holding the lady who was dripping all over her body and urgently called the medical officer and Mimi, and rushed straight to the bedroom, and her whole head suddenly buzzed. Her master is Madame, Madame hasn't spoken yet, why is she in a hurry, knowing that Madame is alone in the house, why did she leave to get the cloak? She regretted it so much, and for the sake of her wife's thoughtful and praise, she turned the cart before the horse.

Mo said that she was punished for kneeling in public in Chunmu Garden, and when Mrs. had an accident that day, she had already knelt outside her house all night, and it was difficult to blame herself.

But Jiang Linglong didn't care. She specially brought a plate of pears, ran to Orange Moon who was kneeling in the Spring Wood Garden, and squatted down to stuff a piece of pear into her mouth just as Orange Moon was about to speak.

"The edge of the house is impossible!" Orange Moon had a large piece of pear in her mouth, and she shouted indistinctly, she knelt on the ground and waved her hand repeatedly, "Layer of jade silk capital, it should be punished." ”

Jiang Linglong glanced at her, and simply sat down beside her, "You also know that you are derelict in your duties," she picked up another piece of pear and stuffed it into Orange Yue's mouth, "I can't punish you for eating pears." Eat pears eat pears. Struggle. Eat some coolies. She followed Qishu beside her, and when she saw this, she hurriedly persuaded, "Madame, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, you have to take care of yourself!" ”

"You also know that the ground is cold," Jiang Linglong was not angry, "Go, tell the owner, Orange Moon is my person, and I should punish her, she knelt on the ground and was injured, how will she serve me in the future?" ”

She didn't say anything else, but sat on her knees on the ground, and she knelt with her.

"You tell him, I will punish her for eating bitter pears, so that she can understand the good intentions of the owner." After saying that, he fed it to Orange Moon's mouth again.

Seeing this, Qishu hurriedly ran towards Dongyuan, and hurriedly came back after a while, "Madam, the owner of the village said that Orange Moon is indeed your maid, and you should punish him, but he was not thoughtful." She hurriedly helped Jiang Linglong to get up, "Madam, get up quickly." ”

Jiang Linglong nodded with satisfaction, got up and handed the fruit plate to Orange Yue, "Then the monthly money will be punished, and then you will be punished for eating this plate of bitter pears." Don't come back to see me until you're done eating, do you hear? ”

Orange Moon looked at Jiang Linglong, her eyes were slightly wet, and she couldn't help nodding after taking the fruit plate.

"Don't kneel anymore, if you break your knees, I really won't need you." She instructed aloud, stopped looking at the orange moon, and took Qishu back to Dongyuan.

Jiang Linglong had an accident, except for the medical officer and Jianmi, who only said that his wife was weak and drowned. She also knew that when bathing and going to the toilet, Kuang Yu would not let Nong Yu follow.

The person hadn't taken two steps, thinking that the sixth day was the feast of the heavens, and he hadn't prepared a suitable outfit, so he asked how the warehouse was cleaned, and after receiving a positive answer, he went to Nanyuan with great interest.

Thirty-two boxes of sandalwood dowries were neatly carried to the yard for Jiang Linglong to count, and for a time the whole yard would be filled with boxes, and each box was engraved with the Jiang family's family crest, highlighting the prosperity of the family in the past.

I heard that his great-grandfather was a member of the imperial court, familiar with the art of war, good at knives, in the border pass town enemy for more than ten years, originally held the tiger talisman, in charge of 300,000 soldiers, and then because of the imperial court fear, in the name of Cathay gradually took back the military power, great-grandfather was forced to return the tiger talisman before his death. In my grandfather's generation, my grandfather knew the methods of the imperial court, and in order to avoid harming his children and grandchildren, he took the initiative to resign from the imperial court, opened a bookstore in the market, sold books, and wrote letters for the people to make a living. And Jiang's father is quite a businessman, and he has always been unwilling to fall in the middle of the family when he was young, so he racked his brains and tried his best to become a four-grade official, but at this time, the court has changed, and most of the old friends of the Jiang family's grandparents have passed away, and he is stuck in the official rank of the fourth grade, and he can no longer enter half a point.

But at the beginning, the Jiang family's marriage was a famous capital, and the dowry of thirty-two boxes also gave the highest specifications of the mother's family. Jiang Linglong knew her status in the family, and she didn't expect many treasures to be given by the family, but compared to the dowry gift given by Kuang Yu, even if she gave thirty-two boxes of silver, it should be a matter of course.

The owner of the village was originally in the East Garden, because Jiang Linglong moved in, in addition to placing her bedroom in the past two days, he had to rearrange a small study to come out, he was explaining to Jianmi, and heard that the lady was going to see the dowry, without saying a word, he left the halfway of the sentence and hurried away.

When the person arrived, he saw a girl with tears in her eyes, and when she saw herself, she pursed her lips tightly, lifted her breath, and the tears were desperately swirling in her eyes, just not to let it fall.

"What's wrong?" Startled, he walked quickly over to her and asked softly.

She didn't reply, pointing her finger at the open boxes.

The box of phoenix crowns is the wedding dress she wore when she got married.

There were also five boxes of silver ingots with white flowers.

Three full boxes of jewels and jade.

Behind her were five boxes of brocade clothes she had never seen before, and the gold embroidery threads on her face seemed to be sparkling on the surface of a lake in the sun.

But no matter how much it shines, it doesn't shine as brightly as the ones that follow.

The remaining eighteen boxes were wide open, reflecting a high-spirited golden light under the sun, and they were swaying so that people could not look at them directly, simply and straightforwardly showing the owner's wealth and irrefutable honor.

That's eighteen boxes full of gold bars.

Jiang Linglong looked at the dazzling array of the entire courtyard.

She thought of her treatment in the Jiang family, and her nose was sour, after all, she never expected herself to have such a valuable dowry.

"But I'm a concubine." She finally couldn't help but murmur to Kuang Yu.

Kuang Yu recently learned that she is a person who is easy to shed tears, easy to be afraid, and has a soft heart, but she always cried because of injustice and fear before, but she didn't expect to be able to cry like such a tearful person because she was moved.

"Kuang Yu, take a look," she wiped her tears with her sleeve and pointed to the three boxes of jade, "Is there anything you like in there?" ”

Being able to do business while crying is one of her strengths.

Willing to share, is another.

Seeing that Kuang Yu looked at herself silently, she simply pulled him to the side of the box to look through it, "This is white jade!" Do you like it? This exquisite lion is also carved well, and this, Pixiu beckons wealth, this and this, turtle and crane Kangshou! This South Sea pearl is also good, big enough, perfectly round, and not flawless. Jiang Linglong snorted, neatly took the jewelry in and out one by one, and quickly organized a box of treasures that she picked out, "Kuang Yu, you take this box, this box is all you like or can use." Look at this, it's good to put it on your little study desk. She nodded with satisfaction, and proudly introduced to Kuang Yu, not like a lady from a good family, but like a hero who shares spoils with others.

Seeing her crying first and then laughing, he did not shy away from shining up the family, and sharing it generously with himself, his heart was moved, and his words were warm: "Since it is your dowry, you will take it," he reminded lightly, "In the future, if you need them, buy a mansion with them, recruit some people, and live a comfortable life." ”
