Chapter 054: Dowry
"Aunt Lao is worried, the dress fits very well." Xia Ye looked at the things that the people outside carried into the courtyard and asked, "Are those things put outside my dowry?" ”
Jiang Qiuhua nodded and said, "Yes, these dowries are thicker than the ones your two sisters prepared when they got married." ”
"Really? My aunt is so nice to Xia Ye. Xia Ye's eyes were full of gratitude, and then said, "Then Xia Ye will go and see what her aunt has prepared for Xia Ye." As he spoke, he jumped into the courtyard.
In Xia Wenxuan's opinion, she looked like a full little girl, and then got up with Jiang Qiuhua and went to the yard.
Jiang Qiuhua's eyes were in a panic, all she prepared for Xia Ye were some things that were not used by purple smoke and purple rings, and it would not be bad if she turned it out in front of Xiangye.
"Yezi, it's not too late for you to marry into the prince's mansion and look at it, it's all stacked, don't mess it up." Jiang Qiuhua said with a smile.
"It's okay, I'll take a look." Xia Ye looked at the brocades.
Then he pulled out a gray-black cloth sandwiched in the middle and said, "This color is so ugly, Xia Ye doesn't like it." Then he threw it out.
Xia Wenxuan glanced at the brocade that Xia Ye pulled out, it was a medium cloth at most, and the color was still outdated, and then he glared at Jiang Qiuhua and said, "How can you prepare that kind of inferior cloth for Ye'er, if you let the people of the prince's mansion see it, wouldn't it make people laugh at my prime minister's mansion." ”
"It's all because the concubine is not strictly supervised, and I don't know how to let the subordinates release such a piece of cloth." Jiang Qiuhua hurriedly blamed himself, then glanced at the servant next to him and said, "Don't take it away quickly!" ”
The corners of Xia Ye's mouth twitched, it was obvious that Jiang Qiuhua, the old woman, deliberately made it and blamed it on the next person, and then casually handed the jewelry box on the side, which only contained two pairs of bead hairpins, a comb, and two earrings.
The pearl hairpin is a pair of jade, Xia Ye doesn't know whether it is expensive or not, only knows that these jewelry are too little.
Xia Ye looked at the jewelry box and said curiously: "I remember the last time the prince gave a dowry, there was a pair of very good jade bracelets, where did my aunt put them?" ”
Then I called the cash cabinet on the side, which was filled with her clothes, Xia Ye flipped it over, except for the two clothes on the top, which were decent, the following ones were not newly made at first glance.
Xia Ye looked at Xia Wenxuan with a pouted mouth and said, "Daddy, is our Xiangfu very poor?" ”
Then he looked at Jiang Qiuhua and said, "Auntie, my dowry is better than that of my two younger sisters, Xia Ye really can't stand it, why don't you prepare a copy for Xia Ye according to my sister's." ”
Xia Wenxuan looked at the few boxes that Xia Ye had opened, except for the things on the surface, there were purple rings and purple smoke inside, and suddenly thundered and said angrily: "This is the dowry you prepared for Ye'er?" ”
"I..." Jiang Qiuhua's lips trembled: "Xiangye, listen to my explanation, I..."
"Enough!" Xia Wenxuan didn't listen to Jiang Qiuhua continue, but instructed Jin Niang on the side: "Jin Niang, you immediately go and prepare a new dowry for Miss, everything must be the best." ”
"Yes." Jin Niang immediately led a few little maids to retreat.
"Daddy, don't be angry." Xia Ye hurriedly supported Xia Wenxuan, looked at Jiang Qiuhua on the side and said: "Auntie is also diligent and thrifty, take care of the mansion, don't be angry, don't be angry, my daughter is fine, I'm afraid that I will lose face to the Prime Minister's Mansion after going to the prince's mansion." ”
Xia Wenxuan glanced at Jiang Qiuhua, then looked at Xia Ye lovingly and said, "Ye'er, I have wronged you." ”
Then I saw Xia Wenxuan take out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and when he opened it, there was a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets inside, Xia Wenxuan handed it to Xia Ye and said: "Your mother doesn't have a dowry, this is her only thing, now I will hand it over to you for her." ”
Xia Ye took the bracelet and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”
"Besides, Dad has something for you." Xia Wenxuan untied a jade pendant from his waist, which was a milky white irregular jade, like an ordinary jade that had not been polished or carved.
This jade pendant is actually an heirloom of the Xia family, but the Xia family has no male in his generation, so he had to pass this jade pendant to Xia Ye.
"What is this?" Xia Ye asked puzzled.
Before Xia Wenxuan could speak, Jiang Qiuhua on the side spoke up: "Xiangye, this is the heirloom of the Xia family, how can you..." Jiang Qiuhua's eyes widened in disbelief, and there was jealousy, unwillingness, and resentment in it.
Her two daughters got married, and he didn't give anything as a father, why did this cheap woman's daughter get married and hand over the heirloom of the Xia family to her.
"Heirloom?" Xia Ye looked at the jade pendant in his hand, looked at Xia Wenxuan and said, "Daddy, my daughter can't accept such a valuable thing." ”
"Yes, Xiangye, this is the heirloom of the Xia family, and it can't be given to outsiders casually." Jiang Qiuhua said jealously.
"This is what the prime minister wants to give to Ye'er, do you want your approval?" Xia Wenxuan glanced at Jiang Qiuhua angrily, and then said: "The Xia family has no men, this heirloom should be passed on to Ye'er, Ye'er is the eldest daughter of the Xia family!" ”
Then he handed the jade pendant to Xia Ye and said, "Take it, this is the heirloom of the Xia family, Dad will give it to you, and you will accept it." ”
Since this was the case, Xia Ye had no choice but to nod and accept it, but Jiang Qiuhua next to him had an ugly face.
Okay, you Xia Wenxuan, I have been married to you for so many years, and I can't compare to a slut's daughter, Jiang Qiuhua thought viciously, and she was almost angry in her heart.
"Dad has asked Jinniang to help you prepare a new dowry, you don't have to worry, it's not early, rest well, and marry with peace of mind tomorrow." After Xia Wenxuan instructed a few words, he left with Jiang Qiuhua.
Xia Ye shook the jade pendant in his hand, put it in his cuffs, and then went into the house to sleep, and she didn't have to worry about the dowry if she handed it over to Jin Niang.
This morning was the first day that Xia Ye got up early without Jin Niang's call, because she couldn't sleep!
Jin Niang quipped: "Miss got up so early today." ”
Xia Ye smiled, then looked at Jin Niang's combed hairstyle, and gave Jin Niang a thumbs up.
Changing into a wedding dress, Xia Ye brought the dragon and phoenix bracelet that Xia Wenxuan handed over to her yesterday, and hung the jade pendant around her waist.
Jin Niang helped Xia Ye to make up one side of her makeup again, and her bright red lips made her look mature and seductive.
The sound of suona and firecrackers outside came from far and near, and Jin Niang hurriedly covered the red hijab to help Xia Ye.
In fact, there is nothing cumbersome, everything is taught to her by Jin Niang on the side, and after saying goodbye to her father and aunt, Xia Ye was helped by Jin Niang to get on the sedan chair.
After swaying for a while, the sedan chair stopped, and Jin Niang whispered in her ear that the third prince's mansion was over.
Xia Ye didn't know what was going on around her, she could only see her red embroidered shoes under her feet, and Chu Chengde who had pulled the red rope on the other side.
If there are steps or something, Jin Niang will tell her in advance.
