Chapter 58: Sisterhood
Ma Simin clapped his hands: "What my sister said is amazing." Mother, don't talk about your sister. My sister is the smartest girl, and in the future, she will definitely have a good life. ”
Shen Xingyi couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and said, "Where is her self-confidence, she is arrogant." ”
Ma Sijia opened her mouth to refute.
Ma Simin saw that her sister and mother were about to quarrel again, so she quickly gave her sister a look and said to her mother: "By the way, when we entered the house just now, I heard you telling Mama Qian to go out and do things, what are you doing?" ”
How could Shen Xingyi not see that her eldest daughter was changing the topic, but she didn't want to quarrel anymore. She said on the topic: "Oh, it was Mama Qian who came to tell me that I asked people to go and buy everything for your eldest brother's wedding has already been purchased." I'm looking at the list. Later, after reading the list, I have to go and see things in person to rest assured. ”
Ma Simin immediately said: "I know this batch of things, but it's too late, right?" The eldest brother is about to get married in a month. This batch of things has only arrived at this time, and I really don't know what these people are doing? ”
Shen Xingyi said: "It's not that in the past two years, because of the war in the northwest, there has been some turmoil on the road, and the purchase of things has not been as smooth as before. Ah, this war is indeed not a good thing. Although we are a family of martial artists, and we can only be promoted by military exploits, I don't want to fight either. Now, your father is on the battlefield in the northwest, and your eldest brother is going to get married this year. Next year, you will also get married, and in two years, you will have to prepare for your second sister's palace wedding. This is all a big deal, your father can't take care of it at all, everything depends on me as a woman. Hey, luckily, you sisters can still give me a hand. ”
Ma Shijia said: "What's wrong with the woman's family? Isn't there a woman in the Taoist family who also has such a national teacher? Isn't there a woman who is also capable of doing it like her mother? Mother takes care of our Xiangyang Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, or the head of the ladies in the capital, presiding over the most famous flower party in the capital, not to mention, my father is in the military camp all the year round, and the upbringing of our sisters and brothers at home is also the discipline of my mother, which one of us goes out, and others do not praise it? We don't have a single gentleman in our family. This is nothing, my mother's business has become bigger and bigger over the years, and she can't be called rich, but it's not much worse than the Shen family, which used to be known as the richest. ”
Shen Xingyi laughed: "You little monkey, you are naughty, even your mother wants to laugh at you?" ”
After speaking, Shen Xingyi sighed and said, "Speaking of which, my business is doing well, and it is not supported by the National Teacher?" At the beginning, she gave me my fruit wine business casually, and later, this is like a cornucopia, just like this, it can bring me more than a million taels of income every year. There is also a silk business, whether it is silk, makeup, or printed silk, the national teacher has run it for me, which makes me now have silk shops all over the Zhou. ”
"Over the years, my dowry has multiplied I don't know how many times. Marry your eldest brother and prepare a dowry for your sisters, all from this. ”
"Speaking of which, Shijia, I have to tell you more. Your sister married into the Yu family. Although the Yu family is a wealthy family, a scholarly family, and a noble family, they are not particularly wealthy in life, at least they can't compare with the Shen family or our family. So, I thought, I'll buy your sister more dowry, especially those that can produce silver. You're a little less. For you already have such a huge inheritance, silver, and good things as my grandfather left you. Even if your mother gives you less, it is estimated that your dowry will be one of the best in the big week. ”
Ma Shijia was about to speak, but Ma Simin had already spoken: "Mother, how can this be done?" My daughter marries into the Yu family, whether she is rich or poor, it is her daughter's life, how can she give me more dowry because of the situation of the Yu family? Although my mother has a lot of money in her hand, our family has to spend money, my brother wants to marry, and in the future, my younger brother has to marry, and our sister's dowry, which is all money, so how can we favor one over the other? No way. There is also the issue of my sister's dowry, although my grandfather left a large amount of assets to my sister back then, but it was given by the Shen family, and my sister is the daughter of the Ma family after all, how can my mother not give it to her? ”
Shen Xingyi couldn't help but be happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw the friendship of her daughters, she was a shrewd person, she had been in the capital for so many years, and the ladies of the wealthy families had made a lot of trouble in order to compete for the dowry. Her daughter can push each other like this, and she is already very happy.
Ma Shijia hurriedly said to her sister: "Sister, you don't know the dowry given to me by my great-grandfather, it is worth tens of millions of taels of silver." In the whole Great Zhou, how many people have such a generous dowry? Besides, among these dowries, in addition to some rare and exotic treasures, there are also two or three million taels of silver that are all kinds of shops, fields, and good locations. The National Teacher also taught me how to do business, and my mother taught me hand-in-hand. Over the years, I have tried to ask people to run the business, although there are losses, but most of them are surpluses, and in addition to providing me with expenses in the past few years, I have also increased more than one million taels of silver. My dowry is getting more and more. What else do you want my mother to buy for me? Mother's arrangement is very reasonable, sister, you don't have to postpone it. Are we, sisters, the ones who care about these money? ”
Ma Simin also knew that what her sister said was the truth, so she could only look at her sister and smile. I feel more and more grateful to my sister.
Seeing the friendship of her daughters, Shen Xingyi was the happiest, she said: "Shimin, your sister is right, although there are many good things in your mother's hands, they are not as good as the things in your sister's hands." She was left by the former national teacher, and of course it was the best thing in the world. Since it can't be compared, it simply won't be counted. These things in my mother's hands, except for the business that will not be given to you, these silver coins, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., I have divided them into five parts. Your eldest brother will inherit the title in the future, and it will be my business, and I will give it to him. So, he only has one copy. You and your brother are both in two. Your second sister, I'll just give you a few pieces of jewelry as a thought. Nothing else. ”
Ma Shimin still wanted to say something, Shen Xingyi had already pushed his hand away and said, "Okay, it's decided." Seeing that the time is almost up, let's hurry up and prepare to go to the palace. At today's palace banquet, you two sisters should be cautious. ”
The two sisters can only say yes in unison.
The mother and daughter were dressed luxuriously and beautifully, and were escorted into the palace by Ma Shiming, the son of the Marquis of Xiangyang.
