Chapter 152: Tong Jia's Dowry
After Tong Jia's went, Yinzhen was very depressed for a while, and after recovering, he ran between the upper study and the South Third Institute every day as before, and he didn't think about Tong Jia's dowry at all.
Wanru had thought about it, she didn't have any other thoughts, she was just simply curious, she wanted to see how good Tong Jia's dowry was, but Yinzhen didn't mention it, and the key was kept by Mama Wu, so even if she was curious, Wanru didn't mention it.
Now that she took this opportunity to mention it, Wanru couldn't wait.
Yin Zhen sighed, and said in a voice full of sadness and nostalgia, "Master doesn't want those things at all." "How can those things be compared with his mother, after his mother left, Yinzhen really understood what Wanru once said meant: Children without mothers are like grass.
Now, without Eniang's cover, he and Wanru are indeed rootless grass in the palace, no matter what he does, he is slowly moving forward step by step, and he no longer dares to be willful, he is no longer fearless.
When Wanru heard this, she put away her curiosity about Tong Jia's dowry, and Wanru hugged Yinzhen tightly, "Master, Eniang will watch us in the sky, she didn't leave, her heart is with us." Wanru didn't know where Tong Jia's had gone, and she didn't know if Tong Jia's soul had dissipated, she could only look forward to it in her heart, looking forward to the great god of crossing to give Tong Jia's another chance, a chance to be happy.
When Yin Zhen heard this, his nose became sour, and he also hugged Wanru tightly, "Well, Eniang, I never left." Yinzhen closed her eyes, his tears fell, Wanru could clearly feel the tears that Yinzhen fell on her neck. Hot tears, Wanru's heart was full of pity, Yinzhen in her arms had not yet become a beloved fourth master. The Yinzhen in her arms is just a young man who will cry at the mention of the deceased Eniang, the Yinzhen in her arms. It's just her Yinzhen, Wanru knows that she doesn't need to say anything at this time, she just needs to accompany Yinzhen quietly.
The next day, after Yinzhen came back in the afternoon, she went to the treasury with Wanru, Wu Mama, Lan Xue, and Zhu Xue. The key has always been kept by Mama Wu.
Five people came to the door of the warehouse, Mama Wu stepped forward to open the lock, pushed the door open, Mama Wu turned to Yinzhen and Wanru and said, "Fourth elder brother, four blessings." Please come in. ”
Lan Xue and Zhu Xue guarded the door, Yinzhen and Wanru walked in with their feet raised, dozens of mahogany dowry boxes appeared in front of them, and Mama Wu followed in and introduced, "Niangniang's dowry is all here, and the fragile items of calligraphy, painting and antiques are also stored in the box." ”
There was a bookshelf at the door of the warehouse, and there was only a lone box on it, and Mama Wu stepped forward. Went down the box, opened it, took out a few account books inside, handed it to Yinzhen and said, "Fourth elder brother, this is the list of Niangniang's dowry, as well as the title deeds of Zhuangzi and the shop, as well as the account books of previous years." You take a look. ”
Yinzhen took it all, but then gave it to Wanru, and then he only took the top one, opened it and opened it roughly, and Mama Wu said again, "Fourth elder brother, here is not only Niangniang's dowry, but also the emperor's rewards over the years, all here, and Niangniang also left you a silver ticket of one million taels, you have not mentioned this matter before, so the old slave has not told you, this million taels of silver tickets, look, do you want it now?" ”
Mama Wu's words surprised both Yinzhen and Wanru, one million taels, this is not a small amount, Yinzhen said, "How can Eniang have such a large amount of silver?" ”
Mama Wu replied with a nostalgic face, "These are all handed over by the grange and the shop in previous years, Niangniang has been in the palace for many years, and has always been favored by the emperor, and every year the emperor's reward alone is enough for the expenses of Jingren Palace, so after accumulating so many years, plus the dowry silver of the previous mother, as well as the silver given by the Tong family every year, I saved so much, and after the mother left, it was all left to you." ”
These words made Yinzhen and Wanru listen to their sour noses again, remembering that Tong Jia's is still alive, their family of three in Jingren Palace's happy days, Tong Jia's voice and smile are vivid, Wanru's eyes are red, she wiped her eyes and said, "E-Niang is the best E-Niang in the world." "A person like Tong Jiashi shouldn't have left so early.
Mama Wu's eyes were also red, and when she heard Wanru's words, she nodded in agreement, "Niangniang, for you and the fourth elder brother's heart, there is indeed no one in the world." ”
Yin Zhen snorted, his Eniang is indeed the best Eniang in the world, he opened his mouth and said, "Mama Wu, you take it out, the master needs silver recently." ”
Mama Wu responded, and then walked to a mahogany box in the middle, took out the key and opened it, the box was filled with brocade, Mama Wu took out the brocade, and a small red sandalwood box was placed at the bottom, Mama Wu took out the box, walked to Yinzhen and handed it to Yinzhen and said, "Fourth brother, one million taels of silver tickets, all here." ”
Yinzhen opened it, and it was a silver ticket with a face value of one hundred, Yinzhen only glanced at it, and closed it again, Yinzhen handed the box to Wanru, and then said to Mama Wu, "Mama Wu, these used to be taken care of by you, and I said thank you to you today, you have worked hard." Yin Zhen said and bowed deeply to Mama Wu.
What Yin Zhen said and this gift came from the heart, Mama Wu is the nurse of Tong Jia's family, and she has been taking care of their mother and son for so many years, this thank you, Mama Wu can definitely afford it.
Yin Zhen thought so, but Mama Wu didn't think so, she quickly leaned over and said, "Fourth elder brother, you are serious, this is what the old slave should do, how can there be any hard work or not, you are this gift, the old slave can't stand it, you are like this, but the old slave is tormented." ”
Seeing this, Wanru said on the side, "Mama Wu, the fourth master sincerely thanks you, you are Eniang's grandmother, you can definitely afford this gift, you can accept it with peace of mind." ”
Yin Zhen nodded.
Mama Wu saw that she couldn't refuse, so she stood up, Yinzhen bowed respectfully to Mama Wu, and Mama Wu said with tears in her eyes, "Fourth elder brother, four blessings, old slave, old slave for you, go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up." Mama Wu's lips were trembling, as a minion, she was treated like this by her master, and she was really worth living to this extent.
Wanru heard this line and smiled, "Mama Wu, the fourth master doesn't need you to go to the soup, you just need to be like before, you are doing very well, whether it is Eniang or the fourth master, they are very satisfied with you, you will only enjoy your old age in peace." ”
Mama Wu wiped away the tears that flowed out of her excitement, and said, "It's the old slave who has lost his temper, and the old slave will do better in the future." ”
Seeing this, Yin Zhen said, "Mama Wu, what Fujin said is that you will enjoy your old age in peace in the future."
Mama Wu nodded, no matter how much excitement she had in her heart, she put it in her heart, and then said, "Fourth elder brother, four blessings, Niangniang's dowry, all the old slaves who need to be explained have been explained, and the old slaves will go down first, if you have any questions, then send someone to pass on the old slaves." ”
Yin Zhen nodded, and Mama Wu bowed and retreated.
After Mama Wu left, Yinzhen and Wanru took the key and opened dozens of boxes one by one, Tong Jia's dowry is the same as Wanru's dowry, including fabric jewelry, calligraphy, painting and antiques, etc., but it is more high-grade than Wanru's, no matter which one it is, it is the best one.
Although those fabrics have been more than ten years, they are still as bright as ever, and the jewelry is also, although the style is outdated, the materials used are top-notch, as well as calligraphy and painting antiques, all of which are the authentic works of celebrities and antiques that have been handed down for hundreds or even thousands of years in previous dynasties.
All this made Wanru keep smacking her tongue in her heart, and kept chattering: Sure enough, she is Kangxi's favorite concubine, Kangxi's favorite Queen Tong.
When it was dark, Yinzhen and Wanru only saw half of it, and then Lan Xue said outside the door, "Fourth elder brother, fourth blessing, it's not early, it's time for dinner." ”
Wanru and Yinzhen glanced at each other, Yinzhen looked at the sky outside, it was indeed not early, the two of them were so fascinated that they forgot the passage of time, Yinzhen said, "That's it for today, the rest, let's see it tomorrow." ”
Wanru answered, and said, "Master, look, do we want to take these silver tickets out?" "I didn't know it before, but now that I know, Wanru always feels that it is really unsafe to put such a large amount of silver in this treasury.
Yin Zhen snorted, "Take all the silver tickets away, as well as these account books, and take them all away." Yin Zhen pointed to the account books on the bookshelf and the dowry list in Wanru's hand.
Wanru answered, put the list and account book together with the silver ticket into the box that originally contained the account book, Wanru locked it, and then left the warehouse with Yinzhen.
In the next few days, Wanru spent all her time sorting out Tong Jia's dowry and account books, and Yinzhen would help Wanru sort it out after she came back every day.
It took about a week of hard work, Wanru and Yinzhen finally sorted out all the account books, and that night, before going to sleep, Wanru and Yinzhen were talking about Tong Jia's dowry again.
"Master, have you been going to see the shopkeepers of the shop these days?" Wanru asked.
"I haven't been free these days, and I have been following the prince, and I don't have time to go." Speaking of this, Yinzhen was also very annoyed. In the past, Tong Jia's family would send Mama Wu out of the palace to collect the accounts every year, and in the past few days, Mama Wu also told Yinzhen the details of each shopkeeper, but Yinzhen just couldn't spare time to go on a field trip.
Wanru thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, if you directly understand Huang Ama, just say that you want to go and see the shops and granges left by Eniang, I think Huang Ama will definitely let you go." ”
"Then I will go to ask the emperor Ama in two days, and then I will take a look" Yin Zhen felt that Wanru's idea was good, so he agreed. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
