Chapter 221

Jiang Xuehe saw the gift list in the capital for the first time, and she found that it was very different from what she had seen in Fucheng before.

Some of the gift lists she had seen in Fucheng before would clearly write what kind of things were on them, how many amounts, and what material they were made of. Her mother had taught her this before, and she had always recorded it.

Jiang Xuehe felt that their family's method of keeping a gift list was already more cumbersome, and the writing was quite detailed, but when she saw the gift list from the Changping Marquis's Mansion, she was stunned for a moment.

Not only what kind of material are the things written on it, but also how many numbers there are, all the patterns are clearly listed, and what kind of color is also specifically described, Jiang Xuehe was dizzy when he saw it.

She didn't look at it carefully, so she took a rough look, anyway, it was all something sent by Taoyang Weng, and there would be nothing bad. What surprised Jiang Xuehe the most was that she actually saw the name of the White Crane Tower on this gift list.

"There's actually a White Crane Tower up there?"

The person who sent the gift smiled and said: "This White Crane Tower was originally one of the dowries prepared by the lord of Taoyang Weng for the eldest girl, and the lord heard that the wine sold in the White Crane Tower now is provided by the cousin, so he simply gave the white crane tower to the cousin, anyway, this was originally the dowry of the eldest girl of our family, and the eldest girl will definitely pass it on to a few cousins." ”

"But it's too expensive......"

"It's nothing." The man continued to laugh and said, "Cousin, you must know that most of the things on these lists were originally the dowries of the eldest girls, and these should have belonged to several cousins. In addition to the White Crane Tower, there is also an embroidery workshop on the list here to be given to the Yunlan cousin, and a rouge shop is to be given to the Yuxuan cousin. Of course, these were only a small part of the eldest girl's dowry, and the lord said that when the three cousins could run the three shops, then she would give the rest of the dowry to the cousins and the two young sons. ”

Three shops were given away at once, as well as countless gold, silver and jewelry, Jiang Xuehe felt that these gifts were too expensive for her to afford. Even if Lord Taoyang Weng is their maternal grandmother, they have never entered the school in front of this grandmother, how can they be embarrassed to accept so many things from their grandmother?

"I don't think it's good, it's useless, our brothers and sisters are really ......"

"Ouch, my cousin, you can take it, only if you accept the master, she will be relieved! Do you know how hard the owner has been over the years? Do you know what the owner did back then? The matter of the eldest girl back then, the cousin girl has been in the capital for so long, haven't you heard of it? ”

"I've heard a little, but I don't know the specifics." Jiang Xuehe said truthfully.

The giver sighed and said: "When the eldest girl was born, it was the second girl who married the eldest girl in place of the eldest girl, and no one in the house knew about it at that time, so these parents all followed the second girl into the Guangping Hou Mansion. Later, it was discovered, and Hou Ye also persuaded Lord Weng to settle the matter, since the eldest girl is no longer there, then give the dowry left by the eldest girl to the second girl, anyway, there is no shortage of this thing in the Changping Hou Mansion. But where is the owner of Weng willing, these are all taken back by the owner of Weng personally to the Marquis of Guangping's mansion. The cousin girl should think that she is considerate of the princess's motherly heart, these things are left by the Weng master to the eldest girl, and now that the eldest girl is gone, the Weng master must be left to your sisters and brothers. If you sisters and brothers don't want these things, they will eventually be included in the Changping Marquis Mansion and be distributed to the second girl or other concubines and concubines in the mansion, which is the most unbearable thing for the lord of Weng. ”

Jiang Xuehe also felt unbearable when she heard it, if the relationship between the Taoyang Weng Lord and the Changping Marquis was good, it would be okay, but she could see that the relationship between the Taoyang Weng Lord and the Changping Marquis was not good. Since the relationship is not good, how can the lord of Taoyang Weng endure the few sons and daughters of the Marquis of Changping? Especially the only biological daughter of Lord Taoyang Weng is likely to be killed by the second girl who married into the Marquis of Guangping.

She once heard that the most favored daughter of the Marquis of Changping was the second girl who married into the Marquis of Guangping's mansion. If the dowry left by the lord of Taoyang to his eldest daughter will eventually be incorporated into the Changping Hou Mansion, then with the Changping Hou Mansion's favor for the second girl, most of the dowry will definitely be given to the second girl.

For Jiang Xuehe's nominal second aunt, Jiang Xuehe doesn't like it. Even if she had never seen this second aunt, the previous forced marriage of Liu Hanzhi by the Marquis of Guangping was enough to disgust her.

If this second aunt did everything back then, wouldn't she rob her mother's fiancΓ© back then, and now she wants her daughter to rob her mother's daughter's fiancΓ©? Although I don't know if this second aunt did it on purpose, Jiang Xuehe felt that what this second aunt did made people panic.

Although Jiang Xuehe felt embarrassed to accept so many things from Lord Taoyang at once, when he thought that if he didn't accept these things, they would fall into the hands of the second aunt, Jiang Xuehe no longer hesitated.

The person who gave the gift couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw Jiang Xuehe's expression loosen somewhat.

"The cousin can rest assured that she can accept all these things, especially this white crane tower, I think it is the most suitable for the cousin. Although the cousin girl now provides drinks for the White Crane Tower, and also has a shopkeeper who points to the White Crane Tower, the white shopkeeper is a little conservative, and he has been restrained in doing things, and he does not dare to make big moves, and the cousin has never felt sorry for him, but it is not enough fun, right? The giver smiled and said, "Now the title deed and the deed of the White Crane Tower are in the hands of the cousin, and the cousin can go over to hand over to the white shopkeeper in a few days, and how to take care of the White Crane Tower in the future will be decided by the cousin alone." ”

Jiang Xuehe smiled: "Since this is the case, I will accept this gift, but I have something to ask this aunt." ”

"Cousin, don't be so polite, you can just tell me if you have anything."

"In fact, I can't say that this matter is not ordered, I originally refused to accept these things, because our sisters and brothers have never been filial piety in front of our grandmother, so I always feel uneasy in my conscience when I receive gifts, and now that I have accepted them, I have to do something for my grandmother." Jiang Xuehe smiled slightly, "I also hope that this aunt can tell my grandmother what kind of color, what kind of pattern, and what kind of food she likes to eat, and we sisters can also use this to give snacks to my grandmother." Oh, by the way, and my uncle, I can see that my uncle also cares about us very much, and I heard that my uncle has several daughters in his family. I don't know what kind of things my cousins like, so I ask my aunt what kind of things they like? ”

The gift-giver smiled: "The cousin really has a heart, if the general and the princess hear these words, they will be very happy, very relieved, and very moved." It's just that these things are a bit cumbersome to say, so why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea, find me a pen and paper, and let me write down these things one by one? ”

"Of course, if this aunt doesn't think it's such a delay, of course it's best." Jiang Xuehe was also afraid that she would not be able to remember what the other party dictated, "By the way, I don't know what this aunt should be called?" ”

The giver smiled and said, "It's okay for my cousin to call me Aunt Changqiu." ”

"Come in with Aunt Qiu, I don't know what kind of tea Aunt Changqiu likes to drink? I have some flower tea, do you like Aunt Changqiu? ”

"I heard that my cousin has a kind of perfumed lotus tea, I wonder if the old slave is lucky enough to be able to taste this perfume lotus tea today?" Aunt Changqiu was not polite to Jiang Xuehe.

"What's this? Since my aunt likes it, I'll have someone bring it to her. Jiang Xuehe led Aunt Changqiu towards the study, and asked her to pour a cup of tea for Aunt Changqiu.

Aunt Changqiu, as the confidant of Lord Taoyang, is not ambiguous in her work. Before writing those things to Jiang Xuehe, she now asked people to count all the things according to what was written on the gift list in front of Jiang Xuehe.

"This cousin girl must be optimistic about the watch, and my uncle is also a green queen who wants to enter the court as an official, and it is best to count these gifts and gifts like this. I think the future second aunt is also going to be an official, in this case, the cousin might as well call the other two cousins over to have a look. ”

Jiang Xuehe felt that what Aunt Changqiu said was very reasonable, so she called her two younger sisters out.

After counting all the gifts, Aunt Changqiu couldn't help but say: "In the future, Lord Weng and the general should ask someone to send a lot of gifts, this courtyard is too small, and even things can't be stuffed, how about a few cousins live in a different house?" ”

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Don't worry about this aunt, we originally wanted to change the house, but there was a little problem with the Lu Liu family before, and we have been busy until now, and we haven't had time to change the house." However, the house has been bought, it is a three-entry courtyard, I wish our family more than enough, and the location is not far from the yamen where the prime minister is going. ”

"That's good, that's good, my cousin is really capable." Aunt Changqiu smiled with relief.

Although Jiang Xuehe is now more powerful in business, in the eyes of a family like them, doing business is a means of not entering the stream. But the owner of Taoyang Weng didn't think like that, the owner of Taoyang Weng felt that his granddaughter grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and it was not easy to have such an ability.

If doing business is also a means of not entering the stream, then why do so many families have to find special people to run their own shops? Because they can't live without these shops, the money they talk about is vulgar, but they usually can't live without money.

Compared with their duplicity, Lord Taoyang Weng felt that his granddaughter was frank and serious, and made money with her own ability, which was much more powerful than those people.
