Chapter 252: The Old Lady Compromises
The third lady was slightly stunned, didn't she already say it?
The ladies in the house have so many dowries!
So why did Xiahou Shuyao ask this?
After only a little thought, the third lady figured it out, and she smiled lightly: "Naturally, it was given according to the specifications of the young lady who had ever married in Dingguo Mansion!" ”
Xiahou Shu bowed his head, and then asked rhetorically: "Since the previous ladies were all married like this, why did you give her so many more silver taels?" ”
The third lady said truthfully: "The fourth lady has always been spoiled by your grandmother, so I took it upon myself to add an extra eight thousand taels of silver to her!" ”
Xiahou Shu twisted his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Third aunt, you are ignoring the rules!" No matter how much she is spoiled by her grandmother, her dowry should not exceed that of the ladies of the previous dynasties! ”
The third lady sneered: "Rules are dead, people are alive!" After all, Miss Fourth is a child who grew up under your grandmother's knees......"
"That's a mistake! are all Miss Yan of the Guogong Mansion, can they still be divided into high and low? If you give your fourth sister an extra 8,000 taels of silver now, then after that, you will have to give an extra 8,000 taels of silver to your daughter in the house if you marry your daughter! Xiahou Shuyao's brows frowned even tighter.
The third lady lowered her head by her and stopped talking, and the old lady on the side, who was originally going to speak, also pursed her lips and said nothing.
Everything was said by her Xiahou Shuyao!
If she really insisted on giving Situ Xirou an extra 8,000 taels of silver to marry, then so many unmarried ladies in this mansion would have to pay 8,000 taels of silver when they got married!
Although 8,000 taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for the entire Dingguo Mansion, once this precedent is opened, I am afraid that an additional 80,000 taels or 800,000 taels will be given out in the future!
If this continues, no matter how big the family business is, it will inevitably be damaged!
Therefore, the old lady's sentence "It's understandable to give more silver taels" was so blocked that she couldn't say it.
After a long time, the old lady said solemnly: "The princess is very right! Let's follow the old routine! ”
Xiahou Shuyao smiled with satisfaction, and the third lady's slightly drooping eyes also showed a little smile.
As long as Situ Xirou is not allowed to take advantage, she is happy!
However, I'm afraid that the old witch will give Situ Xirou more dowry behind her back, right?
Thinking about it, the third lady's eyes deepened.
Although they are all granddaughters of their relatives, this old lady's heart is completely biased!
The concubine in the second room has always wanted to crush her daughters!
Even in terms of marriage, the old lady originally planned to send Situ Xirou to the royal family as a concubine, while her daughters planned to marry low to attract power for the family!
It's a pity that Situ Xirou and the Hu family harmed others and themselves, directly ruining Situ Xirou's innocence!
Now, even if the old lady has the means to reach the sky, she can't marry Situ Xirou's girl into the clan anymore!
On the contrary, it was her two concubines who fell into the eyes of the eldest princess of Shunyi, and then entered the circle of the princesses and princesses of the clan!
Maybe her daughter will be proposed by the clan one day!
Thinking of these, the depression in the third lady's heart suddenly disappeared, and she felt that her whole person was comfortable.
The old lady looked at the third lady deeply, and then said solemnly: "The daughters under your knees are also of age, so you should take a good look at each other and set a good family for them earlier!"
Hearing this, the third lady of the fugue for nine days came to her senses, and she said humbly: "Daughter-in-law remember her mother's teachings!" The daughter-in-law will have set up a family affair for them earlier! ”
