Chapter 188: Dowry

Zhang's is just like his mother-in-law, looking at the box and touching the box, in the end, he really couldn't help it, turned around and looked back at Jiang's, "Sister-in-law, ordinary daughters have to show their dowries when they get married." Our family didn't have time to prepare a dowry for Cai Wei, since this dowry was sent, it should also be exposed, so that the big guy can also see the arrogance of his uncle! ”

Jiang also had this intention, and this was equivalent to saying that it was in her heart, and the two of them immediately hit it off.

Mrs. Wang also wanted to open it to see the real guy inside, and when she heard the two daughters-in-law say this, she pretended to hesitate for a while, "Is this good?" Will my uncle have an opinion? ”

"Old lady, didn't my uncle bring so many things to let the big guys see and understand? The old lady can rest assured, my uncle will never care about such a trivial matter. The Jiang family hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Wang.

Zhang was also very eye-catching, and said busily, "This is a great joy for our family, and my uncle can't wait for the big guys to come and see it, so as to show my uncle's heart for the girl, right?" ”

Mrs. Wang seemed to be unable to stand these two daughters-in-law, her face was still a little embarrassed, and she pointed her finger at Zhang's forehead, "You guys are all sweet mouths." Okay, that is, let's open it for my aunt and take a look, so that the girl can be happy. ”

Cai Wei wasn't here at all, and she was embarrassed to say it.

Zhang glanced at Jiang's mother and daughter, and suddenly beckoned a little girl to come and ordered, "You go and invite the second girl, and you will say that you will see the dowry of your uncle." ”

The little girl went in a hurry.

Jiang was very dissatisfied, and squinted at Zhang, "Why did you call her here?" ”

Zhang raised his face proudly, "This is a happy event for our second room, if you don't call the girl, who will you call?" ”

Jiang was dumbfounded by her.

Yes, Zhang's eyebrows were finally raised, but don't be too complacent, after all, it's not her own daughter.

Before Cai Wei arrived, the three women instructed the maid to work together to open the dozen or so big sandalwood boxes.

The warm winter sun shines on the gold jewels in the box, giving off a dazzling brilliance.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were almost pierced, she stared greedily at one box of jewelry, and then at another box of silk and satin, and her shriveled mouth was slightly open, and she couldn't close it.

Jiang almost gasped, looking at the boxes of good things he had never seen before, and he felt his heart tighten.

Mu Caiping wrung her handkerchief tightly, her eyes didn't roll, and her heart was like frying in a pan. She still doesn't believe it, how could the commander of the brocade guard marry Cai Wei?

But what's so good about a girl who can't get on the table in the countryside? also three media and six hires, and also returned gold jewelry and silk and satin, so many good things, it is really cheap that country bun.

I heard that Cai Wei just saved that person's life, so she deserves to be so good to her?

Cai Wei is just lucky to meet her, if he met her Mu Caiping at that time, he would also know how to repay it, right?

Mu Caiping wants to climb high branches, but she also has a soft spot for a man like Lu Ying.

Comparing him with Cheng Wang, Mu Caiping immediately felt that this brother-in-law was better. After all, any woman wants to find a loyal and affectionate man.

The three of Zhang's mothers were already speechless in shock, and the two sisters Mu Caisu and Mu Cailian stared at each other, covered their mouths, and could only sob.

Zhang's face seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, as if crying instead of crying, a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes were covered by the light of greed, glanced at this box and then at that box, her eyes were grunting, for fear that Wang Lao Taijun and Jiang would see something, she had to pretend not to care at all, and her slender face was about to freeze.

When Cai Wei arrived, all she saw were all kinds of greedy faces.

She received a letter from Lu Ying early in the morning, saying that she was coming to give a dowry gift today. Knowing that Lu Ying was accompanied by Mu Dongsheng and Mu Dongru brothers to drink tea and talk in the flower hall, she didn't rush over.

First, to respect customs, men and women do not meet before the wedding. Second, she also wants to see the faces of these people.

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint her.

From her grandmother Wang Lao Taijun, down to the Jiang family's Zhang family, as well as Mu Caiping, Mu Caisu and Mu Cailian, there is no one who does not covet her good luck, and there is no one who does not look down on her dowry.

Speaking of which, she's really the best of these sisters.

The person who married is not only better than Pan An Song Yu, but also a high-ranking and hot-looking person.

Such a person, it is estimated that Mu Caiping wants to hook up with one after squeezing her head. Although Mu Caisu and Mu Cailian are small, they are also the ultimate goal they are striving for, right?

Only she seems to have gotten it without much effort. It is estimated that everyone feels pity in their hearts, but it is a pity that a flower is inserted in cow dung, of course, she is not a flower, but a piece of cow dung.

It's just that how do they know what she went through with Lu Ying.

They all judge people by their appearance, and they think that if they have a good blank, they can marry a good man. But what they don't know is that Israel can't go far by serving people.

Men are not stupid, and if a woman is beautiful, he will soon get bored. After all, beauty also has a shelf life, no matter how beautiful a person is, there will be a day when someone will be old.

Besides, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one looks more like a beautiful one!

In this world, there is no shortage of beauties.

And she, Mu Caiwei, is the only one who has never been seen before or since!

She won't serve people with sex, and she is not afraid of people. She enjoys love, and she is not afraid of growing old alone.

So, having someone you like, that's the icing on the cake. No one you like, you can get through it safely.

Life will only become richer and richer for her, not more and more barren.

Therefore, for these women, she feels both pitiful and hateful.

There must be something hateful about the poor, and she realized it.

Of course, she is a person with a modern soul, and this ancient woman cannot compare with her.

Nor can she measure the values of ancient people with modern thinking.

No matter what, she will not scoff at the ideas of the Jiang family and Mu Caiping. After all, for a low-income household, beauty is an important way to take a shortcut. With this passage, it may be easier for them to live a good life.

Like Mu Caiping, although he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, these things should not be eaten or drunk, and life is even more dispensable, just chatting and having leisure.

Therefore, like Mu Caiping, who claims to be a talented woman, she still has to rely on her beauty to please men. Only when they please men, they will not be hungry, and they will have leisure to play the piano and calligraphy and painting!

And she is different, although she is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has a wonderful hand of medical skills to rejuvenate, and she can naturally support herself, without clinging to men, and without being that weak silk flower.

This is what they yearn for, and it is also their sadness.

As long as these people don't mess with her, Cai Wei doesn't plan to get along with them.

It's a big deal, after getting married, you can't get along with each other.

As for her scumbag Mu Dongsheng, it can only be followed up.

Although this man indirectly forced her biological mother to death, she still hasn't figured out how to clean him up.

After she gets married, let's find an opportunity to avenge her mother.

Mrs. Wang and the others couldn't take their eyes off it, and they didn't notice that Cai Wei was already standing in front of them.

After a long time, when they had all passed that period of surprise, they saw Cai Wei who was looking at them with a smile.

Mrs. Wang's old face turned red, but she still said calmly, "Cai Wei, we have the custom of showing dowry when marrying relatives in the capital. Let's follow the experience today. ”

"Okay, even if it's my grandmother, I want to see it, why don't we watch it together?" Cai Wei waved her hand very magnificently, but it seemed that Wang Lao Taijun and these people were a little childish.

To be honest, she also wanted to see what good things Lu Ying gave her as a dowry.

Isn't there a saying? I am not afraid that men are poor, but I am afraid that men are not willing to spend money for women.

Lu Yingken made a big deal for her, then she followed him, whether she was poor or rich, she would not regret it.

After saying this, she stepped forward with great interest and admired the boxes one by one.

After looking at more than a dozen boxes, Cai Wei was quite satisfied.

Lu Ying is really willing, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, jewelry and clothes, all of which she has never seen. Any one of them is worth a fortune.

She didn't expect that Lu Ying, the commander of the brocade guard, would come up with so many dowry gifts in a hurry.

Is this man about to wipe out his family?

She was a little moved, and a little distressed.

Since he was willing to give these good things to her as a dowry, she was not willing to let the people of the Mu family get involved.

Looking at these pairs of naked and greedy eyes, Cai Wei began to calculate.

According to the rules, the man sends a dowry, and the woman must also have a dowry. Looking at the Mu family's face, they seemed to have forgotten the same, all of them were unhurried, just staring at the dowry with straight eyes, and none of them mentioned that they had to marry her.

One by one, not ashamed?

When I was in the countryside, I heard Widow Mu say that her mother Li married back then, and she also had a rich dowry. Although the Li family is a family of imperial doctors, they have practiced medicine for generations and have some family resources. In addition, there is only one daughter in the family, and she is very precious, and she can't wait to scavenge all the good things in the family and marry her.

But the Li family was raided before the Li family committed suicide, and after the Li family committed suicide, no one in the mother's family pursued the whereabouts of the dowry.

The Ming Law stipulates that when a woman marries, the dowry is only passed on to her children, and she is the only daughter of the Li family, so she naturally has to inherit.

Now that her wedding is imminent, other people don't understand, Wang Lao Taijun and her father Mu Dongsheng should know?

Why didn't they take out her biological mother's dowry?

Cai Wei's black and white eyes slipped around the faces of several women, determined to open a gap from above.

Don't think that she has lived in the countryside for more than ten years, and everything will be written off.

Since she has the blood of the Li family in her body, you have to get justice for the Li family.

For so many years, the Mu family has used the Li family's dowry with peace of mind, but left her only daughter in the countryside and left it alone, which can be seen.

That is, don't care if she's not emotional.

Retracting the faint smile on her face, she pretended to be a little ignorant and asked Zhang, "Mother, before a woman gets married, doesn't her mother's family buy a dowry?" We are like this in the countryside, I wonder if this capital is also like this? ”

As soon as Zhang heard that Cai Wei had mentioned the dowry, his heart suddenly jumped.

People like them, if they are high or low, they have to spend a few hundred taels of silver to get by, right?

Although there is no separation now, the big house controls the money in the house, how can the Jiang family, the iron rooster, be willing to give this money?

Finally, can't you take out the second room?

After all, this is the marriage of a girl in the second room!

When Zhang thought about this, his face suddenly turned bad, and he was busy fooling Cai Wei, "I didn't expect the commander to be so anxious, and our mansion didn't prepare for it for a while." You're going to get married later, and it's not what you like to buy now......"

"Yes, you are about to get married in a few days from the countryside, where is the time? Which bride's dowry is not prepared at the age of five or six, and like you, you don't even have time to make a wedding dress. ”

In the matter of not being able to produce money, the Jiang family and the Zhang family were surprisingly unanimous in hating the same enemy.

Cai Wei wanted to laugh when she heard it, this Mu family didn't have a good thing from top to bottom, she just wanted to get in and didn't want to get out.

She just mentioned it in passing, and she didn't have time to shirk them all.

Hmph, is she rare?

"Since it's too late to buy a good one, then naturally you don't need to buy it now, just use the old one." Cai Wei nodded and smiled at Zhang.

Zhang was a little confused and dumbfounded, "How can there be an old one?" You are looking to get married, where can you find the old one? ”

Zhang couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and he didn't know what this "old" meant.

Cai Wei glanced at Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family, and her face was a little sad, "Didn't my biological mother leave me a dowry back then?" Use hers to make it. ”

Zhang's face changed suddenly, and she stared at Cai Wei as if she couldn't understand what she said.

The faces of Mrs. Wang and the Jiang family were also very exciting.

The Li family's dowry back then was shared by those who saw it. A large family sits and eats empty, just relying on Mu Dongru's ideas, where can they feed so many people?

The dowry, which was ownerless back then, was later received by Wang Lao Taijun into the treasury, and whenever the family was in trouble, he would pick some valuable ones from those dowries and sell them, so that the family could be maintained.

Now that Cai Wei mentioned this stubble, Wang Lao Taijun's face couldn't hang up.

Li's dowry is indeed very rich, but it's a pity that it has been spent all over the years.

But even if there are still some picks left, Mrs. Wang is reluctant to take them out as a dowry for Cai Wei.

She didn't want to live a hard life anymore, the Li family's dowry was the only foundation to revitalize their mansion.

If Cai Wei is married, the Mu family's expenses will inevitably be cut and spread out, which is not good to say.

"Ahem", Mrs. Wang cleared her throat, thinking about how to dispel Cai Wei's thoughts, "Cai Wei, you are not a big boss, since Lord Lu is in a hurry to ask for someone, where can you get a few dowries for a while?" ”

Seeing that Cai Wei was unmoved and couldn't believe her words, Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained, "When your mother got married, the dowry looked at the scenery, but it was all worthless things, half of which were old clothes and materials, and then they were broken when they shook in the wind. It's been more than ten years, how many things are left? If you want, I'll show you? ”

She said it reasonably, thinking that Cai Wei couldn't refute it, but who expected Cai Wei to change her words and use a killer move, "I won't read it, anyway, I have my mother's dowry list, and I'm not in a hurry for a while."
