Chapter 323: Dowry and Silver
Rong An and Liao Jing were talking in the flower hall.
There are no outsiders, speak freely.
"Then you'll have to hurry. After all, my sister will be in the door for more than a month. β
Liao Jing chuckled.
"You don't know how much the prince hates her! What kind of phoenix, I can't see that the dragon has the slightest affection for her! I'm sorry enough for Zhu Yonghao, right? can be compared with Yu Ronghua, his dislike for me is just a drop in the bucket. So she entered the door in vain. If you want to compete with me for favor, it's hard! β
"Don't underestimate her, she has recently stumbled because of my restraints, and she hasn't been helped by her mother. When she leaves the Yu family, she and her mother will definitely make a comeback. Be careful yourself. Although you are all members of the Liao family, the Liao family has always been close to people, I think you haven't forgotten, right? β
At the mention of this, Liao Jing began to grind her teeth again.
Isn't? She, the authentic daughter of the Liao family, has always been a servant-like existence in front of Yu Ronghua. In the future, under the same roof, that kind of family favoritism will inevitably not be repeated.
"I've always had a bad spin, can you tell me more?"
"I guess that after she enters the door, the Liao family will first persuade you to take care of her, help her more, and then let you share the favor, so that you sisters can share the favor together, and strive to have the protection of children.
But once Ronghua rises, it will definitely overwhelm you. She can do it better than you, and you got the rights, connections and control in the Prince's Mansion more than two months earlier than her, or she will be directly asked to transfer it to her......"
"She's dreaming!"
Before Rong An finished speaking, Liao Jing stood up and interrupted, which made Rong An startled.
"You're right!"
Liao Jing bit her lip.
"Where to wait for her to come in? It's already begun. Yesterday, someone from the Liao family came to look for me to go back to my parents' house, and I thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be for Yu Ronghua. When I got home today, a bunch of people sat there and began to persuade me, talking nonsense about sisters being united and having a bright future for half an hour.
It's ridiculous, before she entered the door, those people were already instilling in me the truth that Yu Ronghua and I were both prosperous and lossy, and I shared the same fate with her.
Let me come to you, and it is also the first step for glory. They were not allowed to enter Yu's house, so I asked me to do everything possible to enter your house. If it's soft, use the power of the prince's side concubine! You're going to have to let me in! In short, you must come to see Ronghua, bring a message to Ronghua, and give you a dismount!
Is it ridiculous? I earned the position of the crown princess by myself, and I even gave up my reputation for this position, what did they do for me? What face do I have to pave the way for Yu Ronghua with everything I have earned so hard? Is Yu Ronghua worthy? Do you want me to use chicken feathers as arrows to fight you again?
Actually, I was willing to come. Because I want to talk to you, I want to thank you personally, I want to see the misery of Ronghua with my own eyes, but after my parents said those words for my good, my heart was cold.
That's it for them at the moment, and when Yu Ronghua enters the door, I'm afraid that I will have to be forced into a servant by them again. Rong An, you can see clearly, can you give me another support? β
"What can I do?"
Rong An poured her a cup of tea and signaled her to be calm. "I can only advise you to take advantage of this moment to seize the power in the prince's mansion firmly, and have the opportunity to win more people's hearts and install people. Hold the prince's heart a lot. Your mother should know more about these than I do. β
"Well, that's what my mother said."
It is precisely because Rong An says the same as Wei every time that Liao Jing feels that Rong An is for her good and for her sake, so she trusts and relies on Rong An more and more.
"My mother...... I'm already secretly training two unusually looking rooms. When I get pregnant, they will come in. In short, it won't be cheap Yu Ronghua. My mother and brother want not to be bullied, so I have to work hard. β
"Then I wish you...... Let's get on the rise! Rong An took the cup and touched it with Liao Jing.
"Thank you. Rong An, you are my friend. Liao Jing nodded solemnly. I still remember the favor I owe you, and I will ask you to help you speak in the future. β
Looking at Liao Jing, who was a little naΓ―ve, Rong An was stunned for a moment.
Friend? Liao Jing, this girl, is still innocent in the end.
Rong An thought of Liao Jing's appearance of being uneven and strong several times in order to maintain Ronghua earlier, at that time, she was not very much like herself in her previous life?
But she was luckier than herself, and she didn't see the true colors of those people until she died in her previous life. And she, because of her own trouble, woke up early, and has already begun to fight back and struggle.
"You're in the Prince's Mansion, don't be too gullible. The interpersonal relationships and interests there are definitely more complicated than those of the Liao family. People's hearts are separated from the belly, you take it easy. Rong An couldn't help but admonish.
"Hmm. I understand. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Relatives may not be reliable, I don't believe anyone! β
"By the way, Jinxiu ......" Liao Jing came to the door today, and Jinxiu was followed behind her.
"I took the note last time, and when I confronted me that day, I bluntly said that I snatched the appointment note from Jinxiu because I wanted to find Zhu Yonghao, so Jinxiu was not pursued, and in the eyes of the Liao family, she was still the loyal girl."
Liao Jing sneered again.
"After Jinxiu was driven away by you, they defected to the Liao family. The old lady said that Ronghua's minions are all the best. I'm smart and smart, so let me choose one of those people to take with me to train...... Ridiculous, right? Am I without minions? Why take someone else's minions?
My mother objected, but was strongly reprimanded by the old lady.
Oh, I don't even know, their real intention is to want me to help Yu Ronghua train an eyeliner in the Prince's Mansion first? Or put an eyeliner next to me above board, help the Liao family monitor me at the moment, and help Ronghua keep an eye on me in the future! β
This is one of the reasons why Liao Jing hates. The family treats her completely just by taking advantage of ...... Sold her to Zhu Yonglin before, and now makes her a stepping stone to control...... While Liao Jing's heart was cold, her hatred for her family became stronger and stronger.
Rong An was surprised.
Indeed, the Liao family's mind is too hateful.
"It's both."
"My mother thinks so, too."
The corners of Liao Jing's lips hooked. "That's why I chose Splendid among those people. It doesn't matter what they want, it's useless. I'm holding the handle of the splendid embroidery, who is whose eyeliner, not necessarily. When they treated me like this, I was left with only one way to fight. Splendid this, thanks to you. Thankfully, you mentioned it that day. β
Liao Jing and Wei both felt that Rong An was their lucky star. If it weren't for Rong An to stir up the water in the General's Mansion so muddy, Liao Wenci would not be where he is today, and Yu Ronghua would not have fallen from the crown princess, but instead contributed to the status of the first person next to Prince Liao Jing. As long as she works hard enough to keep the results she has now, it will be sooner or later to get out of control, and their good days are ahead.
"Don't keep thanking you, I just watched you begging that day, and I wanted to block Yu Ronghua, so I told you that."
"Yes! That's why my mother said, you are handy. For thou hast not concealed thy intentions, nor concealed thy intentions. My mother said, you are much better than those who stab you in the back! β
Rong An couldn't laugh or cry.
"Thank you and your mother for the compliment." In this life, I am indeed not a good person.
"Closer to home, didn't you come to agree on a dowry?"
Rong An took a slip and handed it to Liao Jing.
"I have listed all the dowries that my family gave to Yu Ronghua, you can directly take this list to the Liao family!"
Liao Jing glanced at it a few times and then laughed.
"These are all glorious, aren't they?"
is such a dime a dime, Yu Rong'an, too ruthless!
How many good things are there in Ronghua, how can others not know Liao Jing? Most of the jewelry and ornaments on this list are all treasures that Yu Ronghua has treasured for many years.
What kind of dowry list, Rong An clearly listed the things in Ronghua Courtyard.
Private property is transferred to the public, and then the dowry is changed, and the Yu family doesn't even need to spend money.
"Yes." Rong An is frank.
She just didn't want to give money to marry the white-eyed wolf.
"You can take it directly to Liao Wenci. Tell her that I, the head of the family, is not married yet, and I don't know anything. I didn't know what to prepare, so I asked her mother to prepare. Don't expect me to marry my sister in a beautiful way. What kind of pomp and circumstance Ronghua marries depends on her to arrange.
In addition, I told her that my government has limited financial resources and no money. This list is the limit. If she is not satisfied, she will make up for it herself. β
Rong An already felt that he had lost a lot.
Ronghua's marriage was suddenly advanced, and no matter how good the general's mansion was, he always had to decorate the mansion and buy a banquet. Scattered and scattered, a few hundred taels is definitely wanted.
Thanks to the fact that she had already stolen a sum of money from Rong Hua to supplement the expenses of the house, otherwise she would have to rewind it. She didn't want to do that!
At this moment, the wool returns to the sheep, which can be regarded as worthy of Yu Ronghua!
Liao Jing stared at the list, but the more she looked at it, the funnier it became.
How much dowry is on the list, and it's still far from the word scenery!
"Can Liao Wenci agree?" As far as Liao Jing knows, Liao Wenci just spent more than 10,000 taels on doing good deeds for the sake of Ronghua, honoring the queen, befriending noble ladies, and striving for help Nearly 10,000 taels.
At this time, it is bound to be very difficult to prepare for Yu Ronghua's marriage.
"If you don't agree, you must agree! How dare she offend my family, after all, Rongying is still living in the house. I'm the bad guy and she knows it, so she's got to be polite to me. If it weren't for keeping Rongying to make the Liao family scruple somewhat, she would have persuaded her father to send people out to be quiet.
"Besides, doesn't Liao Wenci still have a lot of industries? She sold two shops at will, and it was enough for Yu Ronghua to get married. β
Liao Jing was sour again when she heard this.
"Not really!" It was only later that she learned that Liao Wenci, the daughter who got married, got so much from the family back then! His father is the grandson of the Liao family, and the industry in his hands is not as good as Liao Wenci after decades!
Do you want to compare with Yu Ronghua? Liao Wenci only needs to throw out a few shops to marry, which is enough to crush himself. No matter how big the prince and the queen have opinions on Yu Ronghua, they will save a little face when they see the heavy dowry list, right?
"Silver, can settle a lot of things!" Liao Jing muttered.
"Huh?" Rong An skimmed over the uneasiness in Liao Jing's words, and keenly noticed that there was something in her words.
Liao Jing thought about it, but there was nothing wrong with it, so she said: "After Ronghua's Liangdi holy decree came down, in order to make her marriage date earlier, it was my ancestor who personally ran to the palace to find the queen. On that day, she also brought Cui Ye, who had been in charge of the accounts of the house and only appeared a few times a year, into the palace. After that, the wedding date was set on the second day. Don't you think it's going too well? β
Rong An frowned.
Truly.
The queen was very tired of the glory at that time, and it would be too cheap to let her readily agree to the early marriage if she said that she would give a few pieces of silver. And the queen is not the queen alone who has the final say, she has to go to the emperor to deal with her. And the queen has not invited the emperor to see her recently, so that the queen can withstand the pressure of being hated by the emperor, there is definitely a special reason.
"My mother thinks that nine times out of ten, it is the great profits promised by the ancestors that make the queen relieved and moved. Otherwise, Cui Ye will not be labored. I have been in the Liao family for more than ten years, and I have only met Cui Ye three or four times in total. β
Rong An thought of the previous question again.
"What kind of industry is your family doing in secret, and why can you earn so much silver?"
"If I say I don't know, do you believe it?"
Liao Jing grinded her teeth again. "I don't lie to you, my mother doesn't know about this. My father, to put it bluntly, is a vassal elegant wine bag and rice bag. He didn't have to work hard to get the money, so he didn't ask where the money came from. My father doesn't know yet, and it's even harder for half of my mother to know.
The power in the house is in the hands of the old lady, although Liao Wenci is married, but the old lady values her, and has always hoped that Ronghua will reach the top, so it should be that the operation of the industry is all in the hands of Liao Wenci. Their mothers and daughters are both wealthy and have extraordinary status. β
"In which direction is your business going?"
"Northwest!" This Liao Jing knows.
"Northwest? Are you sure? Rong An leaned forward. This was exactly what she had guessed.
"I'm sure! When my father was young, he also wanted to prove himself because of my mother's complaints and dissatisfaction. My grandfather gave him the opportunity to follow Cui Ye for a few days, and then he went to the northwest. But my father couldn't endure the hardships, and as soon as he arrived at the grassland, he retreated, and when he heard that he had to wear the desert, he was so frightened that he came back. Since then, he has accepted his fate and will no longer interfere in the sale of his family. β
"What to do?"
"It's just reselling. I don't know anything else. β
Liao Jing's words are exactly the same as Ronghua.
Sure enough, no matter what, you still can't get around Yan Andi!
Last time, Zhu Chengyi said to check, but I don't know what happened......
"Oh, yes! This one...... What do you think? β
Liao Jing pushed a piece of paper over.
"Liao Wenci gave it to me. She fled in a hurry that day, and her belongings were not cleaned up. Said that although you returned all the things in her courtyard and her private treasury, she still has a lot of treasures. Here's the breakdown. Look. β
Rong An laughed, and the list was quite careful.
It is pointed out that there are antiques in Jing's residence, calligraphy and paintings hanging in the front yard hall, and many ornaments locked in the large storeroom.
"Liao Wenci said, you don't need to let the Yu family take out these things, so you can use them as a dowry for Ronghua. In addition, she still has a lot of large pieces of furniture, fabrics and medicinal materials in the house, and she left them to the Yu family not to take them back. β
Rong Anhe.
The antiques in Jing'anju are probably still in the old lady's hands, and as for the rest, she has not paid attention to it.
But...... She just doesn't want to give!
It's not that she wants it greedily, but she wants to make Liao Wenci uncomfortable and retaliate to stay here.
"Liao Jing, where is the Liao family...... Is it stressing out for you? β
Liao Jing smiled like a flower: "Since I handed you the list, naturally I will do whatever you say." How do you want me to convey it, so to deal with it, to put it bluntly. β
"That's good. You do what I say, and I'll take you to see Yu Ronghua. β
