"Okay, okay, how about buying it for you according to the standard of Qingshuang's marriage?" finally remembered that the person Luo Qingluan was going to marry was Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, and Wang Xueru was heartbroken, and she knew that the money could not be saved.

But she has her own way, and the money for the dowry can't be less, so it's better to have 10,000 taels as usual. But those things, such as all kinds of silk satin, jewelry, etc., she will naturally choose the ones that are not in good color, and the style is old, and she only needs to write a good name when she registers it.

As for the title deed, she will also choose some shops with bad locations and bad business for Luo Qingluan, anyway, as long as the number is enough on the surface. These seem like a lot, but when the real value is converted, it is definitely not even half of the normal one.

"Buy it for me according to my sister's standards? Isn't it a little less, auntie? Unexpectedly, Luo Qingluan was very surprised, and seemed to be a little reluctant.

"How can it be less? It's exactly the same as your sister, will your aunt still lose you? ”

Wang Xueru was very dissatisfied, and said patiently: "Think about it, even Qingshuang is done like this, she is your sister, and even the fifth prince is very satisfied, Qingluan, what else do you not want?" Besides, the girl's family, before she got married, asked pretending, how bad is it? When the time comes, your aunt will prepare it for you, are you still afraid that your aunt will trap you? ”

After saying it in one breath, she was just about to let Luo Qingluan practice the rules, so that she could teach her a lesson by the way, and it was still a fair torture, but Luo Qingluan stood up directly, her face was a little bad, and she said coldly: "I'm just afraid that my aunt will cheat me, so I want to ask first." ”

"What did you say?" Wang Xueru didn't believe what she heard.

"I just learned that my aunt was going to give me my sister's dowry, and in that case, I better go to my father." Luo Qingluan's face sank, and he said with a very unhappy look: "Dad told me before that he would definitely let me marry to the Chu Wangfu in style, and said that I can do whatever I want." But I didn't expect my aunt to be so stingy, I have to ask my father. ”

With that, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Wang Xueru didn't feel good when she heard it, if this girl really went to her father, according to Luo Cheng's attitude of paying more and more attention to her now, I was afraid that she would agree to any request she really made. Moreover, this girl is going to marry the King of Chu, if she goes to Nalan Ye and mutters a few more times, I am afraid that this iceberg prince will really think that she is mean to this concubine.

"Wait, Qingluan, you come back first." No way, Wang Xueru could only stop her.

"What else does my aunt want to say?" Luo Qingluan looked a little cold, and he didn't even have a smile on his face.

"Qingluan, in that case, my aunt will add some more dowry to you, so that you can marry in the Chu Palace, okay?" is already extremely depressed, if Wang Xueru is not worried that Luo Qingluan will go directly to Luocheng, but will have to take more things, she will not be patient to tell her.

Finally with a smile on his face, Luo Qingluan stretched out two white fingers and said loudly: "Auntie, I want so much." ”

"Twenty thousand taels of silver?" Wang Xueru's eyes were about to pop out.

She Qingshuang married the fifth prince, but she only took away the dowry of 10,000 taels of silver, she actually wanted 20,000 taels? And there are other jewelry, deed shops, etc., which are far more than what she bought for Qingshuang, how can she not feel heartache?

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingluan pursed her lips and shook her head: "Auntie, I'm not talking about silver, but double the amount I want for my sister's dowry!" It seemed to be a memory, she squinted her eyes and looked up, frowned and thought about it: "I asked my father yesterday, and my father said that the dowry for my sister is worth a total of 200,000 taels, so I said double, it will cost 400,000 taels." ”

"Four hundred thousand taels? No way! Without thinking about it, Wang Xueru refused angrily.

Although the General's Mansion is a big family, and there are a lot of shops and fields, the net income is no more than 30,000 taels per year. Last time, she bought a dowry for Qingshuang, and she had already spent half of the silver taels, and now this Luo Qingluan dared to ask for a double dowry, which was worth 400,000 taels, wouldn't this empty the entire general's mansion?

Without the family property and silver, what does it mean for her to be the housewife?

"Qingluan, it's not that my aunt doesn't agree, it's too much for you to ask for 400,000 taels, and the General's Mansion can't take out so much money, even if you go to your father, he won't be able to take it out." Wang Xuru couldn't maintain the smile on her face anymore, and said coldly with a straight face: "If you are obedient, just follow what your aunt said, and be ready to pretend like your sister, if you don't want to, hum, there is no point." ”

"Really?"

At this moment, Luo Qingluan didn't even back down, and smiled slightly: "Auntie, I'll tell you today, this dowry must be had, and if you don't have it, if you can't come up with so much money, I'll bother you to sell your shop and sell the land and give me all the money." Otherwise, I won't get married! ”

gasped, Wang Xueru didn't expect that Luo Qingluan, who had been bullied by her, would dare to threaten her like this, didn't she climb up to the king of Chu? This hasn't been married yet, if she really becomes the princess of Chu, why don't you just slap her in the face?

couldn't bear it anymore, Wang Xueru slapped the table and said coldly: "Your marriage is a gift from Your Majesty, you say you won't marry if you don't marry?" Hum! ”

The two parted unhappily, each of them did not back down, Luo Qingluan did not stay long, turned around and left.

Not long after returning to his small courtyard, Luocheng came, and he saw him looking angry from afar, obviously Wang Xueru went to complain.

"Qingluan, how can you talk to your aunt like this? Your Majesty dares not to marry you, do you want to harm our whole family? "Luo Cheng is really angry, the marriage of his second daughter has been full of twists and turns, which has already made him unhappy, and finally gave the marriage to Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, which is not bad. But he didn't expect Luo Qingluan to be so greedy, asking for a dowry of 400,000 taels, where could he stand it?

I had long expected that Luo Cheng would come back to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, Luo Qingluan said lightly: "What, Dad, my daughter didn't say that she wouldn't marry, but she just hoped that she could ask for more dowry, and marry into the Chu Wangfu in a beautiful way, so as not to embarrass your old man." ”

After a pause, she seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "Could it be that my father is reluctant to pay that money and is unwilling to prepare so much dowry for his daughter?" ”

This is a fact, but when Luo Qingluan asked him in person, Luo Cheng was embarrassed to say it directly. A touch of embarrassment flashed on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "How can Dad be reluctant, you are too nonsense." You can marry with peace of mind, the dowry is handled by your aunt, and it is guaranteed to be the same as your sister at the beginning, what are you not satisfied with? ”

Frowning, Luo Qingluan said: "But my sister is married to the five princes, everyone knows that the five princes are the least favored by His Majesty, and now that her daughter is married to the king of Chu, can the five princes still be compared with the king of Chu?" ”

Luo Cheng listened to the speech, and didn't know how to refute, so he listened to Luo Qingluan and said: "Dad naturally hopes that his daughter will live well, if the king of Chu finds out that my dowry is similar to my sister's, won't he be angry?" Dad compared him with a mere powerless and powerless fifth prince, do you say that the king of Chu will have an opinion on you, father, and will he look down on me? It's about your daughter's lifelong happiness, how can you be stingy, Dad? ”

Unceremoniously, with a little aggressiveness, Luo Cheng realized that the daughter in front of him was no longer the supple and obedient, timid and fearful Luo Qingluan in the past.

Dressed in a white dress like snow, cold and pretty, although she had a slight smile on her face, there was only coldness in her eyes. A strong sense of strangeness hit, Luo Cheng didn't dare to look at her directly, and couldn't help but take a step back, only to remember that the girl in front of him was just his daughter, how could he be a little afraid of her?

After all, his face was a little unbearable, but Luo Cheng couldn't refute it, Luo Qingluan saw the opportunity, and said a few softly, he finally agreed and left in a hurry.

"Miss, you're so amazing!"

Dai Yue, who had been standing in the corner and waiting, finally had a chance to speak, and her face was full of admiration: "You actually persuaded the master to prepare a double dowry for you?" I'm afraid that Mrs. Fang will be angry, right? ”

This was originally her plan, Luo Qingluan sneered.

Now that you have made up your mind to clean up Wang Xueru and make her worse than dead, you might as well start with her favorite money. This time, Wang Xueru will be painful for a while, and then, there will be more fun waiting for her!

Ten days later, Wang Xuru finally sold her land, sold her land, and sold her shop, and scraped together enough for a dowry of 400,000 taels of silver, but looking at the reduction of four-fifths of her family property and silver on the books, she gritted her teeth in distress.

"Master, you spoil that girl too much, right? It is said that the daughter who got married spilled the water, and she is now so open-mouthed, maybe she will be a white-eyed wolf in the future. Do you expect her to be filial to you? Save it! ”

Taking the opportunity to show the account book to Los Angeles, Wang Xueru immediately complained, saying that she was afraid that in the past year or two, the government would have to cut back on food and clothing, and she would have to sell a few girls, otherwise she would not be able to support such a big expense.

"Forget it, Qingluan is marrying the King of Chu, and the dowry is better prepared, and the dowry of the Chu Wangfu will naturally not be less, and it will not be lost."

As soon as Luo Cheng finished speaking, Wang Xueru also reacted, frowned and said: "That's right, it's about getting married on the twenty-sixth auspicious day of the first month, and now it's been almost a month, why hasn't the Chu Wangfu come to give a dowry yet?" Don't you plan not to give it, right? ”

"How is that possible? Nalan Ye is a prince anyway, His Majesty rewards him with countless things every year, this time he is marrying a concubine, how can there be no dowry? Luo Cheng shook his head after thinking about it for a while: "Don't worry, not only will the Chu Palace's Mansion have a rich dowry, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will also reward a lot at that time, and we won't be able to lose." ”

At this moment, the personal girl Ziyu came in, and said in a panic when she entered the door: "Master, Mrs. Side, no, the second lady slipped out of the house in disguise as a man......"

Before she finished speaking, Wang Xueru's face sank: "Is this worth it?" Master, Qingluan is about to marry Lord Chu Wang, how can he leave the mansion casually at this time? And it's a woman dressed as a man, it's just ...... If someone finds out, then the reputation of our general's mansion will be ruined by her. ”

Luo Cheng stood up and said angrily: "Presumptuous, don't ask anyone to bring this girl back!" ”

Ziyu hurriedly said, "No, master, the second lady has already returned." But she ...... She also brought back a woman, who was one of the three red-card girls in Mengxian Building, Miss Hongyu. ”
