According to the customs of the Daqing Dynasty, the bride price and bride price are special at the time of marriage.

On the surface, according to the status of both parties, and secretly consider their own financial resources, the dowry and bride price are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

If the man is particularly satisfied with the woman, in order to show respect for the woman's family and sincerity in marrying, he will basically give a valuable dowry gift, which is called Shanghi. This is based on the fact that the two sides are on the right to, and the world is a real marriage.

But if the man is not satisfied with the woman, or has various small problems, but has to get married, for example, the son of a second-grade official wants to marry a small jasper, this kind of natural will not be hired, and it is already counted as a woman's son.

Then there are ordinary people who get married, they are all small families, both parties have little money, only according to the custom of marriage, longan dried fruits, cakes and cloths, etc., although the omen is good, but in private this will be called a lower employment.

Ordinary people don't pay much attention to it, and they will be hired when they are hired, but if they are placed in a wealthy family with status and status, let alone hired, even the middle hire is an offense, once the dowry is not enough, it will make the two families have a disagreement.

Originally, according to the identity of the ninth prince, even if he married the concubine of Zuo Xiang and gave a dowry worth hundreds of thousands, he was already quite face-saving. But Lan Beichen waved his hand and directly gave a dowry worth no less than five million, which made Xia Yanxiu excited and didn't sleep for three days.

It's so face-saving!

Now Xia Yanxiu has just reacted, what kind of face, he is simply a big loss!

After accepting Lan Beichen's offer, if he didn't want to offend the Nine Princes, he would also prepare a bride price of the same value for Xia Jinse, otherwise he would despise the Nine Princes and deliberately make the Jin Palace's Mansion unable to come to the stage!

Thinking of this, Xia Yanxiu was cold, five million, where did he go to raise it?

"What, Xia Xiang hasn't thought about it yet?" Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Shattered Star urged again.

"No, no, no, it's not ......" Xia Yanxiu reacted, and said with a dry smile: "The bride price, of course, is also calculated according to the highest grade, the nine princes are so sincere, how can my prime minister's mansion treat Jinse badly!" ”

Shattered Star arched his hand and said: "Thank you Xia Xiang, the subordinates will reply to the Nine Princes and say goodbye." ”

After the people from the Jin Palace's mansion left, Xia Yanxiu couldn't sit still anymore, and went directly to find the Zhao family.

"The bride price that the master asked for Jinse?" Zhao was not happy when he heard it.

Five days have passed, and the injuries on her body have not healed, so she can only barely get out of bed, and she doesn't dare to walk more, and her skin and flesh hurt as soon as she leaves. And like Xue, she loses her soul every day, and Meng Yao is also thinking about how to get in touch with the second prince in Xiao, which makes her upset, where is she still thinking about Xia Jinse's bride price?

"If it's the Prime Minister's Mansion again, the bride price is just like that, just get by, what's the matter, how much more does the master want to buy for her?"

When Xia Yanxiu heard Zhao's words, his brows furrowed: "Not this time, the dowry given by the Nine Princes is already well known, if the Prime Minister's Mansion can't get the same bride price, this will not only offend the Nine Princes, but even the Prime Minister's Mansion will be ridiculed." ”

"The middle feed of the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been in your charge, you hurry up and calculate, what do you want to buy, so that it can be comparable to the dowry of the Nine Princes!

”

Xia Yanxiu said that his heart was dripping blood, the benefits had just been harvested, and before it was hot, it was about to be lost, and the fat duck in his hand flew away, could he not feel distressed?

When Zhao heard this, his eyes widened: "What does the master mean, is he going to give a bride price of five million?" No matter how rich the Prime Minister is, he can't take out five million! Is the master crazy? ”

The Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed inferior to the Jin Palace, Xia Yanxiu knows it in his heart, but over the years, he has also known that the Zhao family has received a lot of gifts in private, not five million, but one or two million.

Xia Yanxiu thought about it, he couldn't give five million, but there was always one or two million, right?

All the money is raised, and the bride price is determined first, and after the gift is completed, he will secretly sell some of the dowry of the Nine Princes, and he can also earn back three million, which is not a loss.

He told Zhao his thoughts, although it was a little unkind, but the two million bride price was brought out, and the ceremony was sung alone, which was also very face-saving. Anyway, the guests couldn't figure out how much it was worth, enough to sing for half an hour.

"Two million, just prepare according to this standard, you hurry up, it's only a few months." Cheyenne Xiu made a decision.

"Master, two million, no......" Zhao's heart was empty.

Xia Yanxiu frowned: "Not two million?" And what about a million? ”

Zhao's head lowered: "No, no ......"

Xia Yanxiu was impatient and slapped the table: "You just said, how much money is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can't buy it, the old man will find someone to buy it himself, and it will be a bad thing for you!" ”

Zhao was so frightened that he couldn't say a word. Over the years, she has to use the money of the Prime Minister's Mansion to subsidize her mother's family almost every month, and now the Prime Minister's Mansion is an empty shell, how can there be any money?

Seeing Zhao's appearance, Xia Yanxiu knew that something was wrong, his heart became alert, and he opened his mouth to call the housekeeper to check the accounts, but Zhao hurriedly stopped him: "Master, the concubine said, don't be angry." Over the years, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been spending a lot of money, and the old man is not enough at all......"

"Getting to the point!" Xia Yanxiu looked fierce and wanted to eat people.

"There are only 30,000 taels left!" Zhao knelt down with a thud, hugged his thighs and cried: "Master, the concubine is really calculating, but there is nothing more left......

Xia Yanxiu slapped Zhao in the face, and was furious: "Fart!" Only 30,000 taels? Are you a fool to be an old man? Over the years, how many gifts have you received from your husband behind your back, and how much private money have you hidden? Where does all the money go? Did you steal someone to patch up your little white face? ”

When he was angry, he didn't even choose what to say!

At this time, Xia Yanxiu knew that the Zhao family had made a mess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone a million, he was the prime minister of the left side, and his family couldn't even take out tens of thousands of taels of silver, and spread it out, but he was afraid that everyone would despise him.

"Didn't the old lady have eight shops when she was alive, and they were all under your care, and what about the money she earned every month? There is also the emperor's reward to the old man, at least tens of thousands of taels, a grange on the outskirts of Beijing, hundreds of acres of land...... You slut, where did you get the money for the old man?! ”

Xia Yan was angry and wanted to kick the Zhao family to death, but after so many years, he felt more and more that this woman was useless. If it weren't for the face of his two daughters, he really would

I want to divorce her!

The Zhao family begged hard, but he couldn't say why, Xia Yanxiu kicked her away and said in a low voice: "Zhao Fengyi, the old man put the words here today, at least one million taels, if you can't get it back, the old man ...... The old man will divorce you! ”

With a flick of his sleeves, he rushed out of the door.

The quarrel in the house naturally spread, and as soon as Xia Yanxiu left, Xia Ruxue came.

"What's wrong with my mother and father?" Xia Ruxue's eyes were swollen and her spirit was not very good, but as soon as she came in, she saw that Zhao's crying face was spent, and she knew that something was wrong, so she quickly helped her up.

The Zhao family still believes in this daughter, and she can't tell Xia Yanxiu the secret, but Ruxue is a caring little padded jacket, and she said it without asking twice.

Over the years, some of the things that the Zhao family has done to supplement her mother's family have been done through Xia Ruxue's hands, and as soon as she said it, Xia Ruxue understood.

"I really didn't expect the eldest sister to ask for so much dowry when she got married, otherwise she would take 10,000 taels casually, how would it be enough, and she wouldn't hurt her mother and be punished by her father. How is it good now? Xia Ruxue was also worried.

Just now, Xia Mengyao came to her room and asked her for the most beautiful apricot blossom tassel crane feather hairpin, but she refused. If you know that there is no money at home, I'm afraid that this sister will not be reliable, and she will make some trouble!

"Ruxue, my mother can't help it, you know how many of your uncles are not successful......"

When it comes to her mother's family, the Zhao family is upset, but at this time, Xia Yanxiu asked her for one million, which is her biggest headache.

A trace of hatred flashed in Xia Ruxue's eyes: "The eldest sister is too much, she married herself, but she doesn't know the difficulties of her mother's family, if she hadn't said something to the Nine Princes, how could the Nine Princes send someone to mention it deliberately?" The harmful prime minister wants to give her so much dowry, but it is cheaper for outsiders. ”

In the past, she just didn't like Xia Jinse, and because of her identity, she was reluctant to be wrong.

Now the marriage between Xia Jinse and the Ninth Prince directly caused the eldest prince to be suspicious of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that her father no longer attached importance to her marriage and turned to consider Meng Yao and the second prince, which is what makes Xia Jinse hate Xia Jinse the most.

If she can put some nails on Xia Jinse, she will definitely spare no effort.

"One million taels, it's not impossible."

Xia Ruxue leaned into Zhao's ear and said softly: "Mother forgot, the dowry gifts sent by the Nine Princes are all in the treasury, and the key mother has it." Those dowry gifts are so valuable, as long as you secretly sell some, wouldn't you be rich? ”

Zhao was taken aback: "Sell? What if you get discovered? ”

Xia Ruxue's eyes rolled, and she said quietly: "Won't my mother find someone to forge it, just make something similar, and my father won't check it, who knows?" ”

That's a good idea!

Zhao thought about it, and it seemed that it could only be like this.

Not only can she make up a million taels, maybe she can also get some benefits from it! Since the master has been completely neutral, no one has given gifts for more than half a year, and the Zhao family has hinted that she wants money many times, and she is troublesome to make excuses to shirk.

Now, it's an opportunity!

……

Xia Jinse didn't know at all that the Zhao family and the others were already beating Lan Beichen and sending them

The thought of the dowry, now there are nearly two million more on her body, she has become a little rich woman, and she also has confidence, not only spending a lot of money, but also eating a lot of food.

Two million huge sums of money, naturally can't be put on the body, Xia Jinse asked Chaiyun to deposit the silver tickets in the bank, although the interest is not much, but there are also a few hundred taels per month, which is more than enough to deduct the expenses of Haitang Garden in January.

This is her private money, Lan Beichen gave it, and she received it justifiably.

Because I still have to make money for Emperor Yuanqing!

After eating the eight-treasure snow clam soup made by Mr. Guan, Xia Jinse began to think about her brother's leg injury, which was also a reliable foundation for her to make money.

To treat an old comminuted fracture, she has only had to operate, and she has prepared the anesthetics, scalpels and other equipment and medicines needed. The surgery, which required open reduction under epidural anesthesia and then a plate for internal fixation, was the first time she had performed the procedure under such rudimentary conditions.

Whether it is possible to be infected or not, this is the only thing Xia Jinse needs to worry about.

As for other postoperative casts, stitch removal, muscle recovery, etc., it is also a series of problems.

Xia Jinse gave Xia Junping a general description of the situation and risks, Xia Junping thought about it and said, "I'm like this, even if I don't succeed, there is no loss." Jinse, you can do it with confidence, the worst result is the same as now, right? ”

It really makes sense!

"Since my brother is prepared, let's set it for tomorrow, the environment of Runqing Pavilion is not suitable, I will send someone to inform the five princes, arrange it in Baizhen Building, where it is the safest." Xia Jinse said.
