Chapter 61: The Dowry List

"Not yet." Mu Ningxuan said deflatedly, and suddenly her eyes rolled, "Does the eldest brother know where the mother's dowry is now?" ”

Mu Yuchen thought for a while and said, "It should be in the warehouse." You ask your mother what the dowry is. Do you want to fill your mother's dowry to King Wu's mansion for the sake of your third sister? That's what your mother left for your sister! ”

Mu Yuchen really didn't understand why his sister was so good to her third sister Mu Ningjia, so good that she not only tried her best to keep her name in her mother's name, but also wanted to use her mother's dowry to pave the way for her third sister's marriage.

But as long as her sister is happy, as long as she doesn't hurt herself, anything she wants to do, Mu Yuchen is willing to follow her sister's will.

Xuan'er has her own plans, and the eldest brother knows that "Zhenpinxiang" earns as much as one million taels of silver every year, and her mother's dowry is just a temporary misappropriation for emergency relief. Mu Ningxuan comforted Mu Yuchen and said.

The woman's dowry is private property, and the husband's family will not use it, and if she divorces or remarries, the dowry can be taken away by the woman. Even if she dies early, the dowry is reserved for her children, and if she has no biological children, the woman's family can take the dowry from her husband's family.

After the eldest brother left, Mu Ningxuan immediately called Yutang to go to the account room to get her mother's dowry list.

Yutang had sharp legs and feet, but he came back after a cup of tea, but told Mu Ningxuan that he couldn't find the dowry list of the eldest lady in the account room.

In this way, it makes sense, in the previous life, Guo Xiaoniang must have secretly moved her mother's dowry behind her father's back.

I think that back then, when my mother married into the Hou Mansion, she was still the daughter of the Wenguo Mansion, and she was golden and noble, and she had ten miles of red makeup. In particular, the Wenguo Mansion is a big family for generations, and the maternal grandmother, Mrs. Wen, began to accumulate dowries for her mother one by one when her mother was young, and they were all prepared according to the whole set of regulations, which was very thorough and strict.

The mother's dowry list must be found, and even if it cannot be found, the mother's dowry must be in the treasury and will not disappear for no reason.

Mu Ningxuan thought to herself, and then asked Xiaofu to accompany her to the treasury to have a look.

But Mu Ningxuan had just arrived at the door of the warehouse, but was blocked by Mother An, who was guarding the warehouse, saying that the opening of the warehouse required the consent of Mu Houye.

Mu Ningxuan couldn't tell her father directly that she wanted to embezzle her mother's dowry, which was extremely unruly, and she couldn't tell her father the reason for the misappropriation.

Now the housekeeping rights of the pair of cards and keys in the family are in her hands, but Mu Ningxuan can't even open the warehouse.

Mu Ningxuan knows where the crux is, all these years Mufu has been taken care of by Guo Xiaoniang, and now most of the people in charge of Mufu are Guo Xiaoniang's henchmen.

Even if the key to the stewardship of the house is now in Mu Ningxuan's hands, Mu Ningxuan is always the daughter of the boudoir, and she will marry after all.

In the end, the key to the stewardship of Mufu still has to be handed back to Dao Guo Xiaoniang, how can these Mufu stewards not be able to distinguish the priority, and it is inevitable to despise Mu Ningxuan.

Back in Liujutang, Mu Ningxuan lay on the couch and slowly flipped through the old account books of Mufu.

Looking at it these days, the account books are clear, and the use of Zhang Chi is moderate, Mu Ningxuan didn't find any mistakes, I have to say that Guo Xiaoniang is indeed a good hand at managing accounts.

And her mother's accounts in those years have not found any problems for the time being, and Mu Ningxuan began to wonder if this account is true!

Mu Ningxuan thought about it, since she took over the management, she couldn't let Guo Xiaoniang be the boss anymore, and the old people in the mansion had to take care of it, but at the moment, the affairs of King Wu's mansion couldn't be delayed, and she had to talk to Mrs. Wu before Guo Xiaoniang.

How can I see Mrs. Wu in private?

Mu Ningxuan suddenly remembered a person - Mrs. Shen of Lin'an Hou Mansion.

It is said that the Lin'an Hou Mansion is also a little defeated now, and this time the banquet of the Zhengxun Earl's Mansion did not give a post to the Shen lady of the Lin'an Hou Mansion.

Calculated carefully, Mu Ningxuan and Mrs. Shen are somewhat related, and Mu Ningxuan wants to call Mrs. Shen a cousin, but the two families have already come out with five suits.

Before her mother married to the Marquis Mansion in Pingchang, she and Mrs. Shen were cousins but often moved around, but after getting married, Marquis Shen's family was out for a few years, and there was a lot less contact.

I heard the eldest brother say that when his mother went, Mrs. Shen also came to mourn, and she was a caring person.

Let's talk about Lin'an Hou Mansion and Wu Wangfu, in the early years, the second son of Wu Wangfu's second room married Li Qinning, the second daughter of Lin'an Hou Mansion, and the two families are fake in-laws.

With this level of relationship, it's much easier.

Mu Ningxuan decided to visit Mrs. Shen in the Lin'an Hou Mansion tomorrow.
