The Duanmu family in the house couldn't hide their surprise, but they didn't expect Duanmu Jun to suddenly mention his mother Li's dowry...... This heart is inevitably too anxious.

The ladies looked at each other with a smile, their eyes were a little complicated, and they didn't speak.

The Li family's dowry was rich, and since his death, these dowries have been temporarily taken care of by the public high school over the years. Duanmujun wants to recover the Li family's dowry, which is naturally justified, but I am afraid that this matter will not be so easy......

Even Duanmufei was a little surprised, and pinched the handkerchief in his hand. She didn't know that Duanmujun would mention this matter today...... In her opinion, this is not a good time.

He Shi, who was sitting on the top, his eyebrows jumped, his expression did not change, but the speed of twisting the Buddha beads in his hand subconsciously accelerated.

Xiao He sneered in her heart, and she didn't need He to open her mouth, she just mocked without smiling: "Sister Jun, how can you be a little girl's family, how can you open your mouth and shut up what kind of dowry, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it!" ”

He Shi looked at Duanmu Jun calmly, and said with a gentle expression: "Sister Jun, okay, why did you have to take care of the dowry on a whim?" She looked kind and earnestly taught, "You are still young, now you should study hard, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, self-cultivation, and don't lose your heart for these trivial things!" ”

"What my grandmother said was that her granddaughter would never fall behind in her homework." Duanmu Jun was unmoved, and said, "But my granddaughter doesn't want to be said 'widowed eldest daughter' in the future!" ”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "five don't marry", the first of which is that the eldest daughter of the widow does not take, and there is no precept, which means that the eldest daughter who has lost her mother does not know how to be a wife and mother because she does not have the upbringing of her mother.

Xiao He's eyes were even more ridiculous, in her opinion, Duanmujun was originally the eldest daughter of a widow, and an orphan girl had to jump up and down, making so many things! If you give her this inheritance, will she be able to manage it well?

"Sister Jun, your grandmother is a loving heart, don't mess around anymore." Xiao He said impatiently.

Duanmujun didn't retreat, and said righteously: "Why does the second aunt say that I am messing around? Since the time of Taizu, I have a law in Dasheng that if my biological mother dies, the dowry should be handed over to her children......"

As soon as he heard Duanmu Jun talk about the Dasheng law, the faces of the He family and the Xiao He family were not very good-looking, and the He family subconsciously pinched the rosewood Buddha beads in his hand.

What Duanmujun said is true, there is such a law in Dasheng, but not many people really implement it.

That law is actually more than 100 years ago Emperor Taizu for the Empress Chu and specially added to the law, Queen Chu was born in a rich family in the people, her biological mother died early, and the dowry left behind was encroached upon by her stepmother, Queen Chu married Emperor Taizu when she was said to have no longevity, and later Emperor Taizu raised troops and laid down this prosperous world step by step, Queen Chu became the most noble woman in the world because of her wife, and her stepmother naturally returned all the dowry.

Emperor Taizu took pity on Empress Chu, and even more lamented the embarrassment of orphan girls in the world, so he added such a rule.

Duanmu Jun ignored He's gloomy complexion, and said to He's again: "Grandmother, I'm thirteen years old, I'm not a child of Zongjiao, in addition to studying, I should also learn to take care of housework, so as not to be unpopular, and the slaves and maids below rely on the old and sell the old, and the following are guilty." ”

After Duanmujun returned to Zhanqing Courtyard from Yongxi Hall last night, he thought carefully all night.

Duanmu Mansion is not separated, so Duanmu Lang's salary and rewards from the battlefield over the years are all included in the Gongzhong, according to the rules of the house, the sisters have two taels of silver per month, in addition, their daily expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided by the house, but most of the people in the house are high-eyed, because there are only a pair of orphan girls in the long house, and they do not like Mrs. He's family, being neglected is simply commonplace.

Yang Hezhuang and Xiao He's deliberate reduction of their sisters' expenses this time made Duanmujun realize that it was because they didn't have any silver in their hands that they would be restrained and unable to move an inch. If they have enough money in their hands, even if they have green vegetables and tofu in the house, they can let their subordinates go out of the house to buy them.

Before, when the sisters were in the filial piety period, Duanmujun couldn't do anything, but now that they are filial, it's time to get their mother's dowry back.

The room fell silent again, and the people in the other rooms had different faces, all looking at He's.

He's face trembled twice, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart: Sure enough, it's a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised! In the past three years, the mansion has been serving good food and drink, and they are still so dissatisfied, but now with the support of King Jian's mansion for them, they are frivolous, and dare to make her faceless in public!

"Sister Jun, don't you think that the mansion will covet your mother's dowry?!" He Shi looked at Duanmu Jun sharply, and reprimanded in a high-sounding manner, "According to the rules, when your sisters marry in the future, these dowries will be given to you." ”

Duanmujun was unwilling to be fooled by the He family in just a few words, his chin was slightly high, and he wanted to say more, but he felt his cuffs tighten.

She looked down and saw Duanmu Fei blocking the corner of her cuffs, and her dark eyes looked at her timidly like a fawn.

Thinking that his sister was frightened by the confrontation between himself and He's, Duanmujun forcibly suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, pursed his lips, and didn't say more.

He Shi looked at them and was annoyed, made a tired look, rubbed his eyebrows, and casually said: "The girls still have to go to school today, let's all go back." ”

Not only Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei, but also the other female dependents of Duanmu Mansion also got up, respectfully agreed, and said goodbye one after another.

Out of Yongxi Hall, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun walked towards Zhanqing Courtyard unhurriedly, and after walking along the winding path corridor for a few sections, only the two sisters were left around, and the air was full of birds and flowers, and it was quiet.

"Zhen Zhen," Duanmujun suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Duanmufei, and said softly, "Don't be afraid." It stands to reason that the mother's dowry is for our sisters......"

At that time, the Li family married into Duanmu Mansion in ten miles of red makeup and scenery, unlike Duanmu Lang's property to be merged into the public middle school, Li's dowry belonged to her, according to the rules, after Li's death, these dowries will be equally distributed to the children born to her, and the rest of the Duanmu family is not eligible to use the cent.

Duanmufei also stopped, raised his little face, and looked at Duanmujun with a confused expression.

Duanmujun took Duanmufei's hand and said, "Grandmother...... I'm afraid they want to use this to pinch us. However, Zhenzhen, you don't have to be afraid, there is a sister here! ”

Everything has a sister here!

Duanmujun smiled gently at his sister, his dark eyes with calming power.

"Hmm." Duanmu Fei replied loudly and laughed along.
