Mrs. Lin saw these dowry gifts, and she didn't feel good in her heart, her pampered daughter since she was a child, originally made careful calculations for her, and wanted her to marry a good husband. Now it's good, I have the facts with the prince, and I ran over to make a side room for the prince. To put it nicely, I can be a concubine in the future. Now the emperor is not a vegetarian, and I don't know when the prince will be able to touch the dragon chair.

It's this flower full of streams, and I picked up a big bargain for nothing. But in the end, she is the head of the house, and the superficial kung fu is not covered, and with a wave of her sleeves, she asked the housekeeper to register these dowries one by one and return them to the treasury, and the heart of hemorrhage can be regarded as calming down a little. The dowry for Hua Manxi is really much worse than ripping her heart and liver.

According to etiquette, the man's family hires the woman's family and wants to return the gift. Most of the woman's return gifts are some purse embroidery, if it is a royal family, there are also some gold, silver and jade, but they are all based on the small thoughts of the daughter's family, lining a mind.

Lin Fengxuan is a big lady, she only likes to enjoy the flowers and willows on weekdays, and the wind makes the moon, and the female red is average, this time she married the prince, and she was still a little happy in her heart, and Mrs. Lin did not allow her to move around at will, and the province caused trouble again, so she simply took a needle and thread under the persuasion of the maid, and worked hard for a few days before she embroidered a crooked yellow duck.

She was annoyed in her heart, but she wanted to see what good things Hua Manxi's hands could make when they were used to cooking. Who knew that she had just walked to the back garden, planning to take a break first, and saw Hua Manxi sitting under a cluster of red flowers, she was not dressed up today, and her head was full of green silk with only a crystal glass plum blossom flute, which was indescribably elegant and moving.

There were a few maids around him, who were chattering all the time, and when they saw Lin Fengxuan coming over, they immediately stopped talking. Lin Fengxuan squinted her eyes, she couldn't see from a distance, what good things she was embroidering, she stepped forward a few steps, but she almost laughed off her big teeth, and the embroidery was lifelike, but it was a pot of fish soup, and she was a cook in the end.

If it weren't for the demeanor of the eldest lady, Lin Fengxuan really couldn't wait to laugh, but Hua Manxi noticed that someone was coming, raised her head slightly, and was very calm. Lin Fengxuan was angry when she saw her like this, and couldn't help sneering: "As the young lady of our Weiguo Mansion, I don't think you can change the nature of a cook, and return such an important thing, a pot of fish soup, really doesn't know the number of etiquette, and has no decency." I think you and Zhen Guohou are really a natural pair. ”

Hua Manxi still had some thoughts about looking at clowns at first, but when he heard that he was a natural pair, he was naturally not annoyed, but smiled.

"Is there a number of courtesies, whether it is a system or not, I am now the fiancée of the Marquis of Zhenguo, and in a few days, it will be the day when I carry a sedan chair and pass through the door. My sister said this, I want to come to the prince's return gift weaving and embroidery, it must be ingenious, but it's a pity...... It's just a side concubine, and in the days to come, there will be some boiling. ”

Lin Fengxuan was so choked by her that she couldn't speak, she was poking the pain in the center, she disliked that her embroidery was too ugly, and she had already burned it, so let the maid find a good embroiderer, and pay some silver money to finish. This flower is full of sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and she has always been an open-minded woman, it is not wise to argue with her here, it is better to change your mind and fight with her.

She made up her mind in her heart, only snorted coldly, turned around and left the way she came. Although Hua Manxi was not welcomed in the Lin Mansion, since she was about to take out the large dowry, Mrs. Lin cut the monthly money of the next person by more than half, and dismissed a lot of lazy people.

Only Hua Manxi is here, anyway, she will get married in a few days, and she doesn't dare to slack off. Although the gods are spread outside, but after a few days of getting along, the maids also realized that Hua Manxi is a gentle and amiable person, and they can't get along better, if they are happy, they can still eat what she cooks. The young lady cooks something for the maid to eat, which is something they never dared to think of before.

If you get her blue eyes, you can marry with the Marquis Mansion of that town, maybe you will have a more nourishing life. Anyway, Lin Fengxuan is going to enter the East Palace, and the intrigues in the palace are chilling when they think about it. Hua Manxi saw all this, and she did not refuse to show favor to others, if there were a few who were willing to follow her sincerely, maybe they could be released to take care of the shop in the future.

Thinking of the shop, Hua Manxi thought of Wang Shishi, who has been very busy these days, and I don't know how Wang Shishi is doing, maybe she is noisy at home, and wants to eat the dishes she cooks. It is very rare to have such a friend in life.

On the other side, Lin Fengxuan went out of the back garden and went to Lin Fengruo and Lin Fengzhi's yard. After all, the two of them are concubines, and they say that they live in different courtyards, but in fact they are also opposite, very close, and they are sitting and chatting at this moment. Seeing Lin Fengxuan coming, she didn't dare to slack off, and told the maid to bring tea and pour water.

Lin Fengxuan has average feelings for these two sisters in her heart, but now she wants to use them to make trouble for Hua Manxi, so she naturally wants to pretend to be a little sisterly, so she only took a sip, and then sighed shallowly: "Now that Hua Manxi's wedding date is imminent, I am about to leave the cabinet, and I will marry the prince in the future, and it is inconvenient to return to the mansion often, so I want to catch up with my two younger sisters more." ”

Lin Fengruo and Lin Fengzhi glanced at each other, naturally knowing that she was not a good idea, the money Lin Fengxuan owed last time has not been returned until now, but she is married to the prince, they are just concubines, but they don't have any guts, so they all said in a coquettish voice: "It's rare for my sister to understand us, but I don't know what my sister has to teach or say today?" ”

Lin Fengxuan pinched the handkerchief, supported her forehead with her hand, showed a worried look, but also a little depressed, and said: "The male should marry the female major, after I get married, presumably the marriage of the two younger sisters, the mother is also in my heart, originally the young lady in our house, even if she is a concubine, she must be beautiful when she marries, but she hates that flower full of streams, and she has to take away a lot of dowry, and almost emptied most of the family." ”

When she said this, she almost sneered, if Hua Manxi was in front of her, I am afraid that she would have to rush up and slap her twice to relieve her anger, she barely suppressed her resentment, and said very gently: "In this way, when the two sisters get married, this dowry may ...... It is said that marriage is a major event, and the dowry is the foundation of a woman's life in her husband's family, if it is too meager, it will not be easy in the future. ”

What she said is indeed the truth, Lin Fengruo and Lin Fengzhi both sighed in their hearts, in the past, the family was rich, and Mrs. Lin treated them differently, but now there is a secret lack of money, not to mention the dowry, if Mrs. Lin finds a man who is not very passable in order to subsidize the family, as long as there are more dowries and a pillow wind blowing in Lin Zhicheng's ears, maybe her life will be so decided!

The smile on Lin Fengzhi's face was a little embarrassed, and she secretly thought about how much she could get from her mother for the little pocket money she saved, but she still felt that it was very little, how could she control her life in her husband's family? Lin Fengruo also gritted her teeth, and listened to Lin Fengxuan say leisurely: "Since you are sisters, I will also show you a way, count me as doing my best." ”

"The Zhenguo Mansion sent someone to give the dowry today, you are in the backyard, you can't see it, how much gold, silver, pearls, jade, agate jade, resting in the treasury, are very red-eyed. These things are divided into three parts. Part of it called that Hua Manxi was going, saying that it was for her mother in Shishan, some of it was moved to her own house, and some of it was left in the storehouse. ”

Lin Fengxuan was a little thirsty when she said it, and took another sip of tea, and suddenly felt disgusted in her heart, it was really something born from the concubine's room, and the taste was not mellow enough, but her face was still very calm, and she talked eloquently: "Hua Manxi has recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, and in terms of name, she is also your sister." Wouldn't it be nice for you to go and talk to her about it, and ask for one or two things? There are dozens of big boxes of those things, even if one of you wants a box, it's just a drop in the bucket, doesn't she want to be the eldest daughter in this house? After enjoying so many benefits and fulfilling the friendship of sisters, it is always right? ”

Lin Fengruo and Lin Fengzhi glanced at each other, feeling a little embarrassed, these two hands were empty-handed, and they stepped forward to ask for other people's dowry, which was simply shameless and skinless. But if she is really so rich as Lin Fengxuan said, and she will be rewarded with one or two pieces, then she will have more confidence in the future. Speaking of which, it's all my own family, and it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration to make a small request.

The two of them made up their minds, got up together, and bowed: "Sister Xie's order, the two of us will go to visit Sister Hua." Lin Fengxuan saw that the goal was achieved, and she didn't want to stay any longer, so she left in a hurry.

Of course, they didn't really go empty-handed, so the two prepared some refreshments, which were carried by the mother-in-law, and then went to the courtyard of Huamanxi. Hua Manxi has embroidered most of the vivid fish soup, and at this moment he feels that his eyes are sour, and he is playing with a few flowers in the flower bush. Flower viewing is secondary, but she still wants to pick some and make some flower tea or fragrant flower cake.

Recently, she thought of a new mold, the shape is very exquisite, and when the time comes, she will make it, steam a basket of osmanthus cake, and keep Wang Shishi when she heard the wind. Yesterday, she asked the maid to invite someone to come, but Wang Shishi said that the shop had some miscellaneous things, and she couldn't get out of the way, so she could come to see her tomorrow, but she asked someone to send a message, if she came, she must eat enough.

There was a voice of notification outside, she was not familiar with Lin Fengzhi and Lin Fengruo, but she had no intention of embarrassing the two little girls. Invite someone to sit down, and put four kinds of snacks, all of them are at noon when Hua Manxi himself is a little full, so he deliberately labored, kneaded the dough with his hands, and pinched a few little rabbits by himself, although there is no fine pattern, but the simple and cute, white and fat, still makes people's appetite move.

Lin Fengruo saw that she was not full of pearls today, but the crystal glass flute was shining and warm, obviously very valuable, and couldn't help but be very envious: "Sister is really a blessing, this dowry is really rich." ”
