Chapter 1114: The Dowry (Part II)

Xie Yinghui's dowry, Xie Pu roughly arranged it like this. As for things like jewelry, clothing, etc., it all depends on her own liking, and Wen allocates it to her. The main business of the Xie family firm includes silk fields and weaving factories, and there is no need to worry about the lack of fashionable clothing, and the familiar silver buildings and jewelry shops can also provide high-quality and low-cost jewelry.

However, Xie Pu felt that the eldest daughter's own private house was rich enough, and it would be almost the same to add some to the family, so there was no need to bother with this aspect.

Of course, considering that this is his first daughter, he is still willing to be generous: "The things that I took from your mother before have been sealed and stored. Now you and Sister Hui will take those boxes back, pick them up and divide them yourself, half for each person. You don't need to give more to your sister, you also have to keep some good things for yourself, and in the future, you will make a son-in-law support scene for Ma Yuma. ”

Xie Xianzhi hurriedly said: "It's all my father's things, it should belong to the whole family, even if my father intends to share it with the children, it should be divided equally between brothers and sisters, where is the reason to only let the eldest sister share it equally with me?" "Those belongings were all looted by his biological mother Cao Shuqing from the Xie family back then, and when he thought about it, he felt ashamed of his father and siblings, and he couldn't accept his father's arrangement calmly no matter what.

However, Xie Pu insisted: "Although the things your mother collected were in my silver, they did not pass through my eyes, and they were not the objects I loved. I've already read the list, and there's nothing I want in it, and you and Sister Hui share it equally, so you don't have to be idle. Sister Hui wants to support the pomp and circumstance of the scholarly daughter, in addition to books, she also needs some calligraphy, painting and antiques to fill the scene. In the future, you will make friends with your father-in-law, brothers-in-law, or through them, you will make more literati and scholars, and these things will be indispensable. You have divided those boxes, and if your mother comes to the door with the cheekiness to ask for them in the future, I will have something to say. Otherwise, she would have made a fuss with a woman, and she wouldn't have to lose the face of our Xie family, but if she really handed the things back, I couldn't swallow this breath! ”

If Cao Shuqing can really be cheeky and ask for these goods from her married daughter and married son, then she is really turning against her children. If he can really get the two children to get rid of this unconscious biological mother completely, Xie Pu doesn't think it's a cost-effective deal.

Xie Xianzhi lowered his head silently, and did not refuse any of his father's arrangements, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart: "Father's words are naturally reasonable, but my son thinks ...... It's too unfair to the second brother and the second sister......"

Xie Jinzhi smiled beside him: "What is this? There will be no shortage of my and my second sister's share at home, but this one is just for the eldest brother and eldest sister, just from those boxes. My father has always been fair and strict, so how could he really treat our brothers and sisters badly? ”

Xie Xianzhi is right to think about it, Xie Jinzhi doesn't mention it, his marriage contract has not yet been decided, and the time is still early, but Xie Mulin will marry into the Yanwang Mansion soon, can his father still make her dowry shabby? At present, it is just to arrange the birth of the eldest sister Xie Yinghui first, so that their brothers and sisters can feel that their father treats them as much as they love, and they are no less than the two children born by their aunt Wen.

Xie Pu saw that the two sons had no objection to their arrangements, and they were also very satisfied, so he continued: "Sister Zhen'er's dowry, except for the furniture changed from Sister Hui'er, the rest of the clothes, jewelry, medicinal materials, books and other things for the dowry are the same as Sister Hui'er. Compared with Sister Hui, Sister Zhen'er has fewer private rooms, so I will compensate her more for the delivery. ”

Xie Xianzhi hurriedly said: "This is as it should be!" ”

Xie Jinzhi was thoughtful: "Father had better discuss this matter with the second sister, I think the second sister may have her own ideas about the marriage industry." ”

Xie Pu smiled: "She does have her own ideas, except for a few shops in Beiping City, she doesn't want any grange in the south of the Yangtze River, but she is very interested in the weaving yard." She doesn't want a ready-made workshop, she just wants a few skilled craftsmen, and she probably plans to open one herself. I don't care, she likes to tinker with looms and other things when she is in her hometown, if she is really interested, she is not short of silver, and there is no shortage of people in Beiping, let her toss! Even if she can't toss anything, she can afford to pay for her dowry alone. If you can toss something useful, maybe it can bring a lot of benefits to Beiping or Yanwangfu. ”

Wen sighed on the side: "That is, the master will spoil his daughter like this, don't put a ready-made good workshop, but toss it yourself, I don't know if the silver is earned or not, so that Princess Yan sees that the real sister is such a loser, and I don't know if I will regret marrying such a daughter-in-law to Chonglin." ”

Xie Pu smiled: "What's this?" Chonglin himself also has a family background, and he also has a few very good craftsmen there, and he tosses new things on weekdays. I'm afraid that Princess Yan has long been used to it, and she will feel that Sister Zhen'er and Chonglin have the same temper, and they are more and more compatible! ”

Wen glanced at him, and complained to Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi: "If it's just a workshop, then it's okay, what do you two sisters say don't want a grange, but you can give her a piece of wasteland, and the mountains and woodlands are fine, just let her toss." She went crazy, and your father went crazy too, and actually ran to buy a large piece of land in Xiaotangshan! It's a land with a hot spring eye, but the original owner didn't build a farmhouse, which is also called a wasteland?! This one alone cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver! Fortunately, the seller was in a hurry to use the money, and when he bought the land, he didn't seem to have to make much effort, so he readily agreed. But even then, it's scary enough. Our family has called Beiping, when did we buy such a big industry? Your father only used it as your sister's dowry! ”

Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi were both surprised. The former asked: "Isn't it taboo for my father to be an official in Beiping and buy property locally?" The latter asked: "Now there is still a large area of wasteland in Xiaotangshan that has not been occupied by anyone?" Who is the original owner? Why are you in a hurry to use money at this time? Nearly 10,000 taels of silver...... How big is that land?! ”

Xie Pu laughed: "It's very big, almost eighty acres, there are three or four springs on it, although it is scattered, the place is a little biased, and there is a large piece of hillside land, but it is a real Xiaotangshan real estate, not far from the avenue, and it is only less than two miles away from the other courtyard of Yanwangfu in Xiaotangshan." This deal is actually very cost-effective, if it weren't for the fact that I was an official in Beiping, it would be difficult to buy property here, and your sister would marry into Yanwang's mansion, I would really not be willing to use such a large piece of land as a dowry! ”

As for the original owner, it was really a coincidence, it was none other than Mrs. Xu!

When Mrs. Xu first married the son of the former Yan Wang as a side concubine, the Xu family side branch to which she belonged thought that she was going to be developed, and took advantage of the opportunity of her daughter's pregnancy to buy a large piece of land in Xiaotangshan from others at a low price, planning to build a big manor on it, and prepare for the future little county lord to grow up and play. But then, the prince of Yan Wang went to Beijing to take the heir, and the Xu family also left, and the land was abandoned there, and there was no longer a day of development......
