Chapter 252: Dowry

Hearing Song Zhi's words, Xie Ruiqin hated to death in her heart, her biological mother was not favored, she flattered and sold her to serve Mrs. Xie, and in order to gain a good reputation, she delayed the good time to get married.

Now she is a lovely person in front of Mrs. Xie, although the dowry will not be less, but she has also missed the age, plus the Xie family is no longer the Xie family when General Xie was there, she is just a concubine, and marrying Song Ling as a continuation is also a big climb, which makes Xie Ruiqin so positive about this marriage, because she herself knows that this may be the best opportunity she has encountered.

"But when we met for the first time, why did the princess have such a deep prejudice against me?" Xie Ruiqin felt both aggrieved and embarrassed.

"It's not a preconception, it's just human nature." Song Zhi didn't know much about this Miss Xie, but he heard that this Xie family master was not similar to his father, and there were always some waves in the back house.

Song Zhi always speaks like this, seemingly gentle into the water, but in fact it is as cold and hard as ice, which makes Xie Ruiqin think of Mrs. Xie, she has been raised under her knees since she was a child, and it took so many years to get a little bit of Mrs. Xie's sincerity.

Xie Shi had been silent all the time, she had already made up her mind before she came, but she was hesitant by Song Zhi's words.

However, this idea of emotion naturally could not be revealed in front of Xie Ruiqin, Xie Shi smiled stiffly, and said to Song Zhi: "The princess thinks too much, I just think Ruiqin is a good girl." My mother was sick for a while, except for her two elderly mothers, Ruiqin took care of her carefully, and my mother gradually got better. ”

"Old Madam Xie is blessed." Song Zhi praised it, but it was not so comfortable for Xie Shi and Xie Ruiqin to listen to.

When Xie Shi left with Xie Ruiqin, he felt a little unhappy.

Song Zhi felt a little speechless, Zeng Yunyi had only been there for half a year, why were these elders so anxious, one for Song Ling to fill the concubine's room, and the other for Song Ling to find a room. No wonder Song Ling moved Ru'er out of the backyard in such a hurry, the children raised in this kind of backhouse trivialities probably only have a place as big as the backhouse in their hearts.

It's the Dragon Boat Festival in a blink of an eye, and a few days ago, Cha Yun has slowly handed over the errand in his hand to Cha Zhi, Cha Zhi is delicate and methodical, and is not unfamiliar with Cha Yun. For a while, Song Zhi didn't feel that there was a different person around him.

Month by month, he prepared two mahogany boxes for Cha Yun, locked them with two beautiful copper locks, and solemnly handed over the key to Cha Yun, saying, "The dowry list has gone to the Wei family." The princess's dowry is here, not counting the head and those objects. "Moon by month, he looked at the winged golden phoenix, Zhu Hai and Diancui phoenix Hua Tian piled up on the red wedding dress on the table.

Not far away, there are dragon and phoenix quilts, bright red wedding dresses, descendant treasure buckets, treasure pots and other auspicious objects, and the clothes of the four seasons are also prepared for the tea rhyme, and there is even a fur short coat.

As for the dragon and phoenix bed, dragon and phoenix foot pedal, dragon and phoenix basin rack, as well as that set of colorful December flower dishes, enamel Fuhai Shoushan and sea bowls, etc., are already in the outer courtyard.

With such a thick dowry, month by month he thinks he has a clear conscience, as for whether Chayun will be grateful, month by month he does not have this expectation. Because Cha Yun had quietly inquired about the monthly dowry list, if Cha Yun used the standard of the monthly dowry to demand her dowry, then she would be disappointed.

It's like Song Zhi's pair of red sandalwood dragon and phoenix bronze mirrors that can be used as heirlooms, one is given to the moon, and the other is that the meteor is not married, and it is also reserved for the meteor, and the broken wheel is not for others.

Cha Yun's face was full of joy, and he was blessed, and said to Zhuyue: "Thank you, Sister Zhuyue, I will personally thank the princess in a while." ”

"No need, the princess is going to the Song Mansion for dinner at noon, and there is a small banquet in the mansion in the evening. The princess told you to rest early these days, and you will be more beautiful on the day of your bride. Zhu Yue smiled and said, "As long as Wei Shi fights for strength, he can keep this dignity." You and your husband don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life. You can wait to get married in peace these days. ”

Cha Yun nodded shyly, and after sending Zhuyue out, he immediately closed the door, went to the latch, and couldn't wait to open the lock with the brass key in his hand.

The first wooden box, as soon as it was opened, was a stack of valuable clothes, which were taken out after ten years, which was also full of decency. There were also some handkerchiefs and silk or something, Cha Yun didn't seem to care, stretched out her arm to reach in, and touched the things under the clothes.

She took out a handful of mahogany inlaid white jade Ruyi, and after serving Song Zhi for so many years, Cha Yun knew that this Ruyi was a good thing, she couldn't help touching this Ruyi, only to feel that the wood was warm and the jade was smooth.

"It's better if it's pure white jade." Cha Yun muttered to herself.

The contents of this box did not satisfy Cha Yun, she opened another box, found a box from the inside, opened it and saw a pair of exquisite jade earrings, as well as a cloisonnΓ© bracelet, a red gold twist ring, and a string of pearl chains and four or five hairpins of different patterns.

Cha Yun closed the box, and went to look at the things in the box, only to see that Cha Yun had prepared fifty taels of silver month by month, as well as a bag of golden melon seeds and silver beans, and the silver beans were prepared for Cha Yun month by month and rewarded to the juniors.

Such a proper and meticulous, but failed to get a little gratitude from Cha Yun, she recalled the dowry list month by month, just the jewelry wrote a page, what exquisite, jade, tired silk, in short, in the eyes of Cha Yun are very precious, but poured her, but only what gold and jade.

Cha Yun sat on the edge of the bed a little discouraged, she rummaged for a long time, but she didn't find the Tianqi shop she was thinking about, it seems that the princess really didn't give her this dignity. She looked around the house full of joy, but her heart was full of apprehension, "I can only earn it by myself in the Wei family." ’

……

Because the happy event is approaching, Uncle Cui wore a dark red dress today, looking like a red-faced person, and when he asked Song Zhi to go back to the house, he saw it and couldn't help but be happy.

"Madame, your dowry list is too valuable. It is already a great blessing for the girl next to you to marry my grandson. ”

Uncle Cui went home yesterday and saw that his daughter-in-law, who always had a straight face, was serving diligently with her teeth exposed, and thought that she was happy because her son married a wife, but later I realized that it was because I saw this dowry, and I secretly wanted Uncle Cui to inquire if the princess had any other dignity, so angry that Uncle Cui stayed at home for two days and returned.

"Uncle Cui is polite. In fact, as long as they are a small couple and a beautiful one. Song Zhi covered his face with his sleeves, but he still couldn't help laughing, and his whole body trembled lightly with laughter.

Uncle Cui didn't know what was wrong with the princess, and unconsciously looked at Shen Baiyan, Shen Baiyan dragged Song Zhi and said, "Uncle Cui, let's go in first." ”

"Huh." Uncle Cui nodded again and again.

After a roundabout, Song Zhi put down his sleeves, laughed, and said, "I've never seen Uncle Cui wear such a color, it's really coke." ”

The couple talked and laughed and returned to the courtyard, and saw that Meteor was already waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard, "Madam, are the guests invited for dinner still the same ones as originally mentioned?" ”

"Hmm." Song Zhi nodded and said, "It's my brother and Ru'er, as well as Brother Lang and the Ten Masters." "Tonight's dinner is an opportunity for a few of their young people to get together.

"Oh, yes." Song Zhi suddenly remembered something and said, "Mother's lunch today has a dish of eight-treasure duck and green sauce rice that collided with our dinner, you asked the small kitchen to change the menu." ”

As soon as he heard this, Meteor hurriedly went to the small kitchen, and when he saw Rosin busy, he couldn't bear to tell her, but he still had to say it, and Rosin was stunned when he heard it.

It wasn't until Meteor stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes that she came back to her senses and quickly ordered the people in the small kitchen, "Remove the Eight Treasure Duck and steam another sea bass." The staple food is to make a fresh meat wonton with shepherd's cabbage, and then fry a plate of corn roast. ”

"Sea bass is what Master Lin likes to eat, the fresh meat wonton with shepherd's cabbage is what Du Wei likes to eat, and the corn roast is what the princess likes to eat, you really don't fall behind." Meteor said with a smile.

Rosin raised an eyebrow at her, and because she still had something to do, she said, "I'll be busy first." ”

Meteor nodded hurriedly, very relieved of her.

The dinner really got unanimous praise from the big guys, and the tenth princess took the lead and said: "I was happy when I saw this table of dishes, I thought I was going to eat a belly of oil meat again, so refreshing and refreshing, it was the best." ”

Several children were fed with a bowl of wontons and taken away by the nurses.

Lin Tianlang took a chopstick of thin white fish meat, carefully skimmed off the green onions, and put it into the bowl of the tenth princess.

The tenth princess smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you." ”

"Why didn't Bao'er come today?" Song Zhi asked, before the tenth princess clearly said that she would bring Bao'er.

"I was taken to Chen's house by my mother-in-law to play." As soon as she said this, the tenth princess didn't seem to be very happy, and even the smile on her face disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Song Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Lin Tianlang was slightly embarrassed, and glanced at the tenth princess, as if he wanted to say something.

The tenth princess also glanced at Lin Tianlang, puffed out her face and said, "The Chen family always let those girls stick to Bao'er. ”

"It's still a child, what can you do?" Lin Tianlang said helplessly.

"Of course, children don't have it, but adults do. It's not like you haven't seen your aunt like that, as if she treats Bao'er as his grandson-in-law. Did you fail to kiss you before, so you want to make up for it? In front of so many people, although the tenth princess was counting Lin Tianlang, her tone was soft, which made Lin Tianlang annoyed.

"What's the matter?" Lin Tianlang had to coax, "Cousin Mei and I have always had brother and sister affection, you know this." ”

"It's one thing I know, it's another thing what others think." The tenth princess said unrelentingly.

Song Zhi was deeply sorry, so he had to tug at Shen Baiyan's sleeve under the dinner table, begging him to open his mouth to break the situation.
