Chapter 250: Dowry
The more King Cheng thought about it, the more difficult it was to accept, especially when he thought of the ministers who were officials in the same dynasty meeting to discuss this matter, the anger in his heart rose straight up.
Princess Cheng lowered her head, a trace of hatred flashed quickly in her eyes, and she sneered in her heart, what a merciless man.
When she first entered the palace, she was also young and beautiful, at that time, the king was obedient to her, and she was even more spoiled and coaxed when she had a child, and she never thought that when she was seven months pregnant, everything changed......
If it weren't for her stomach fighting and giving birth to a son, I'm afraid that the current princess Cheng would have already been replaced, and she wouldn't know where to fend for herself?
Rights and love, rights are the most important, her son is now the son of King Cheng, and he will definitely inherit the palace of Cheng Wang in the future, men are dispensable, doesn't King Cheng want to marry Su Jinzhen, the eleventh girl of the fifth room of the Su family, as a side concubine? And she let him get his wish......
"What is the prince angry about, let's become a prince with heavy troops, the courtiers and the people will not dare to talk in front of the prince, but today the prince said that he would go to the Pingguo Mansion to propose marriage, this is all this hour, I don't know what the prince's arrangement is......"
Su Jinzhen, Su Jinzhen, our prince is really in a bad mood at this time? You said that if there were rumors that you were a broom star and entered the palace of the king, what would your life be?
Princess Cheng secretly fantasized in her heart that Su Jinzhen happily entered the Chengwang Mansion, thinking that flying on the branches would be a phoenix, but she didn't expect to fall out of favor when she entered the Chengwang Mansion, and King Cheng had already left her behind.
King Cheng stroked the loose beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, eased his face, and said to Princess Cheng: "Su's matter, it will trouble the princess, today the king is not good to go out, and when he encounters such a disgusting thing, the Su family will enter the palace as the princess's aunt!" ”
said that change is change, before I was still full of joy to carry Su Jinzhen into the palace with the gift of a side concubine, but now she is just an aunt in the palace, and Princess Cheng's heart is happy.
What about being young and beautiful? It's just a lowly concubine, and she has been promoted to become an aunt in the palace.......
"Yes, the concubine body will be arranged." Princess Cheng responded heartily.
It's not that Princess Cheng is not jealous, but there are too many aunts in the palace, seventeen or eighteen, from fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls to middle-aged women in their thirties.
After a pause, Princess Cheng asked again before leaving: "Lord, I don't know where Aunt Su lives?" ”
Since she is the aunt of the palace, she can't live in a courtyard alone, and she is arranged to that courtyard, to be honest, it is Princess Cheng, the housewife, who is in charge, but Princess Cheng is really angry in order to test what King Cheng is doing to Su Jinzhen? Or is it to block the mouths of the people......
"Well, Su'....... This king remembers that there is an Aunt Su in the palace, so the Su family will call Aunt Zhen! Let's arrange it in Zhiyun Temple. ”
After all, Su is the girl of the Pingguo Mansion, and the sister of the second daughter-in-law of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the sister of the seventh princess of the emperor's decree.
Princess Cheng's abacus, with King Cheng's words fell through, her face was a little bad, but she covered it up in time and responded with a smile.
Su Jinzhen, the fifth-room concubine of the Pingguo Mansion, entered the Chengwang Mansion as a concubine, and Su Jinzhen was unwilling but could only endure it, and waited to marry in her own house in the east cross courtyard of Xifeng Courtyard with peace of mind.
Originally, there was nothing to be married to be a concubine, but the Pingguo Mansion is a scholarly family, and the elders and young are in order, Su Jinchu, the eldest sister, has not yet married, Su Jinzhen can't go out, and the day for Su Jinzhen to enter the palace has also been set, on the fifth day after Su Jinchu married into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Su Jinchu got married, Xie himself was the daughter of the merchant's family, and he had a rich marriage, Su Jinchu was the first daughter of the Xie family, and the Xie family naturally came close to the good, and everything was tried to give better, but there was only one point, which could not cross Su Jinyan, the seventh princess, after all, Su Jinchu only married the Hou Mansion, but Su Jinyan married the royal family, and Su Jinyan himself was the emperor's own Changxi county lord.
Su Jinchu's dowry was prepared according to the ninety-eight units, plus the makeup or something, there were a total of one hundred and eighteen units, of which fifteen were given by Su Jinyan, who was the younger sister.
The dowry of one hundred and eighteen units is only ten less than that of the eldest daughter of the princess of the same level, and the long procession, the one in front has entered the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion, and the one behind is still in the Pingguo Mansion, and the onlookers suddenly became a sensation, and the dowry is too rich.......
Of course, such a scene is because the mansions of the Pingguo Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion are not far apart, if it is replaced by the Pingguo Mansion and the Seven Princes' Mansion, the future Seven Kings' Mansion will not happen.
The eldest princess of Nanyang and the county lord of Yonghe, the eldest princess of the Marquis of Zhongyong, listened to the reports of the subordinates, and their hearts bloomed with joy.
The dowry of the little daughter-in-law (younger brother and sister) is so much, I think it is valued at home, and the scholarly family of the Pingguo Mansion can take out such a dowry to the daughter of the concubine, which is also good, and the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion is married, but so.
Although the dowry belongs to the daughter-in-law, it does not prevent it from being left to the grandson or granddaughter in the future, and it is the same as that of the Marquis of Zhongyong.......
The day after Su Jinchu got married, the people in the city turned over the old yellow calendar from a few years ago, and compared the battle of Su Jinchu's dowry with that of the county lord of Yonghe, and this comparison found that there was still a difference.
When the county lord of Yonghe married into the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, the dowry was a full 148 units, the daughter of a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, married the son of the eldest princess, and the dowry prepared by the internal affairs office was 48 units, and the Yonghe county lord's mother's family added another 100 units.
According to the situation of the Yonghe County Lord's mother's family, if it weren't for the princess and princess who were worried about the limelight overpowering the royal family, the dowry of one hundred and sixty-eight would have been taken.
Su Jinyan heard the report from his subordinates and smiled lightly. When Mother Xie prepared the dowry for the eldest sister, she inquired carefully, and the dowry of the eldest sister Su Jinchu could not be overpowered by the county lord of Yonghe, but it could not be too little.......
For this reason, the dowry of this one hundred and twenty-eight is real, and I don't want other male monkeys to marry daughters, and the dowry looks rich on the surface, but in fact, it is mostly an empty shell inside.
"Mother, the dowry of the eldest sister is one hundred and twenty-eight, I wonder how much the mother plans to prepare for her daughter?" Su Jinchu got married yesterday, ten miles of red makeup, Su Jinzhen couldn't sit still, thinking that she was entering the palace anyway, and this dowry couldn't be missing!
Su Jinzhen came to ask so urgently, Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, is this still the daughter of her Su family? Since you are asking about the dowry......
Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and said disdainfully: "Sister Zhen'er, although you are entering the palace, but after all, you are a concubine, I have discussed with Sister Yan, the dowry of the forty-eight sets in the public school, adding makeup or something, it depends on the personal meaning?" ”
After saying this, Xie Shi said very tactfully, if Su Jinyan was present, he would definitely say directly, how much dowry does a person want to be a concubine? There is no dowry at all to be a concubine, and the mother's dowry is not in the hands of the in-laws, and it is best not to give it, especially ordinary concubines.......
If the Chengwang Mansion carries Su Jinzhen into the mansion with the gift of a noble concubine, then everything has to be said, and the people in the Chengwang Mansion did not say whether it was a good concubine or a noble concubine, they could only arrange it according to the concubine, although the concubine was a little higher than the cheap concubine, but the dowry of the concubine had to be handed over to the housewife.
"Mother, the eldest sister is one hundred and twenty-eight dowry, why did it become forty-eight when she came to me?" Su Jinzhen suppressed the anger in her heart, and looked at Xie Shi with burning eyes and asked.
Su Jinzhen was so angry in her heart? She almost became the concubine of the king, and now she has temporarily entered the palace as an aunt, why did this dowry become forty-eight?
Xie Shi looked at Su Jinzhen like a monster, and secretly sighed in his heart that Su Jinzhen hadn't seen the situation clearly and had illusions?
Su Jinyan originally came to talk to the Xie family, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard Su Jinzhen's questioning tone, and he was mocking in his heart, and he smiled lightly. "The second sister knows that in an ordinary concubine's room, the dowry is to be handed over to the master mother to take care of, and the mother is merciful and gives forty-eight dowry ......."
"There are some things, what is yours is yours, not yours, you can't force it, what kind of person is Cheng Wangye, the second sister should know in her heart, of course, if the second sister can give birth to a son and a half daughter for Cheng Wangye, there will be no good days in the future, if not, then you can only survive in Cheng Wangfu."
After a pause, Su Jinyan then lowered his voice and whispered in Su Jinzhen's ear, and looked at Su Jinzhen's lower abdomen meaningfully after speaking.
Su Jinzhen's face was bruised, and the fist in her hand was clenched to death, who King Cheng was, she naturally knew, but if King Cheng really had her in his heart, he would not touch her before she entered the palace, and he had a skin-to-skin relationship with King Cheng, although she was also happy, but .......
A man's attitude determines a woman's status in his heart? It's a beloved, or a plaything!
Su Jinzhen gritted her teeth and looked at Su Jinyan: "What the fourth sister said is very true, it's just that the eldest sister married one hundred and twenty-eight dowry, but I am forty-eight, and if it is spread out, it will inevitably make people talk about the favoritism of our Su family.......
The words were full of threats, and Su Jinyan looked at Su Jinzhen with disdain when he heard it.
What kind of stupid person is this, as the daughter of a concubine, since he compares himself with his concubine?
There is no comparison between a concubine and a concubine, not to mention that one is a wife, and the other is a concubine.......
"Favoring one over the other, what does the second sister think you are, the concubine of the Su family's fifth room? Or the future princess Cheng, you are a concubine, seeing you as a second sister, it is to promote you, in addition to the Su family of the Pingguo Mansion, the concubine is out, the dowry from the public is only thirty-eight, and the mother gives you forty-eight dowry, ten more, it is to promote you. ”
Glancing at the Xie family, seeing that the Xie family did not have any dissatisfaction, Su Jinyan then continued to speak: "The second sister wants one hundred and twenty-eight dowry, it's not impossible, let Aunt Wu add makeup to you, add one hundred and twenty-eight raise!" As your biological mother, it is reasonable for Aunt Wu to give you a dowry......"
The meaning of Su Jinyan's words is to provoke the relationship between Su Jinzhen and Aunt Wu, the mother and daughter, and at the same time, it is also to avenge the revenge of the previous life.
In her previous life, the eldest sister Su Jinchu and the younger sister Su Jingui got married, what did the Wu family do to them at that time? The eldest sister nominally married a businessman, but behind her back she was sold by the Wu family for silver, and she entered the Chen family as a concubine, but the Wu family did not give any dowry, and the younger sister Su Jingui married a fool, but she gave something worthless.......
"Isn't my aunt the housewife? Besides, my aunt still has Jingchang ......."
Su Jinzhen's face turned red, and she was unwilling in her heart, but what if she was unwilling? Her biological mother was not a housewife, and she was also a concubine for her father back then, and the dowry was pitiful.
In addition, the maternal grandfather's family is just an ordinary family, where can I give too much dowry to my biological mother......
Su Jinyan raised her eyebrows: "It's good that the second sister knows, but sister, I am sad for the second sister, when my father was alive in the past, Aunt Wu left the second sister in the Guogong Mansion and took the fifteenth brother to the office, and now that the second sister is married, Aunt Wu doesn't know how much dowry she will prepare, after all, the daughter is more important than the son." ”
"Yan'er, they are all about to get married, what should be said and what not to say, you should understand it in your heart, Sister Zhen doesn't understand, and she doesn't blame her, after all, the Wu family is just a concubine, and she doesn't understand many things......." After Xie waited for Su Jinyan to finish speaking, he deliberately kept a straight face and reprimanded Su Jinyan in a low voice.
On the surface, Xie taught Su Jinyan what to say and what not to say, but behind his back, he followed Su Jinyan's words, saying that Su Jinzhen couldn't be on the stage, and he was as childish as Aunt Wu.
Su Jinzhen was not lightly angry, but what Su Jinyan said was the truth, she had no way to refute it, and finally turned around and left with a gloomy face.
Facing Su Jinzhen's departing back, Su Jinyan spoke loudly. "The second sister doesn't know, the dowry prepared by the public middle school for the eldest sister is only seventy-eight, the mother added twenty units with her own private treasury, and I added fifteen units to my sister, and the remaining five units are the makeup gifts for the elder sisters......."
Su Jinzhen's departing back paused, and then walked away quickly without looking back, as if there was a poisonous snake and beast behind him.
Without Su Jinzhen's main courtyard, it was quiet all of a sudden, Xie Shi looked at Su Jinyan and opened his mouth dotingly. "You child, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, she fell into being a concubine for Prince Cheng, it's miserable enough, why bother to sprinkle salt on the wound?"
Xie Shi, as a woman in the back house, is the benevolence of some women after all, and at this time, she kindly said good things for Su Jinzhen.
