Chapter 15 Family Background (1st Update)
Su Su was dragged into the bedroom by Hong Sheng, and then dragged to the side of the bed, and hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?" β
Hong Sheng looked at his daughter-in-law depressedly, "I'm a pervert in your eyes, and I think about it all day long?" β
Su Su touched his small waist, he could still feel sour, and nodded firmly, "You are such a person!" β
Hong Sheng looked at Su Su aggrievedly: The baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say it.
Susu: I'll just watch you do it quietly!
The husband and wife childishly played "whoever blinks first loses", and in the end, Hong Sheng couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, I lost, my daughter-in-law is so beautiful even if she stares, it's so beautiful that people can't help it!" β
Su Su glanced at him, and laughed himself, why is he getting more and more naΓ―ve.
The big bed in the bedroom was made by Hong Sheng before he got married, and he knew that Su Su followed him to the northwest, and the bulky furniture in the dowry could not be brought, so he found a lot of good wood early on, and thought about giving Su Su a thousand work beds.
It is enough to grieve Su Su by following him to the northwest, Hong Sheng just wants to give Su Su the best he can do.
The bed prepared by Hong Sheng is even more exquisite and luxurious than the old lady prepared for Su Su, and it is an agarwood bed with carved treasures and hollow teeth.
But after living on it for so long, Su Su never knew that there was a hidden grid mechanism under this bed.
I saw Hong Sheng move all the futons on the bed to the side, uncover the scarlet felt carpet spread underneath, and grope around the edge of the bed, Su Su saw that the bed board on the side next to the wall was slowly cut open.
Only then did I find that the whole bed was empty, and there was a two-finger-thick iron plate embedded under the thin bed board, and there were large and small boxes under it.
Hong Sheng took a mahogany box from the top, the size of which was like the medicine box that the doctor carried during the consultation, handed it to Su Susu, and said a little embarrassedly: "The income of the family and the money I get, I took out a part of it to buy a dowry, and the daily expenses are some, and the rest is here, not much, you use it first, and the rent will be more generous when you go back." β
Su Su took it and looked at it, and there was a piece of gold, two large yellow croakers (ten taels of gold bars), seven or eight silver ingots weighing ten taels and some scattered silver, which was estimated to be more than 1,300 taels of silver.
The land rent that Hongsheng said should be the 500 acres of military land, planted with spring wheat, which can be harvested in July and August, plus drying and trading, at most a month. It's the end of May, and we're only two or three months away.
Su Su said helplessly: "I was a little extravagant before, but I am really not a loser's daughter-in-law." Our family is not a big family, there are groups of slaves, no year or festival, I just eat bird's nest and abalone all day long, and it doesn't cost more than 1,000 taels of silver for two or three months. In the end, Su Su also looked at Hong Sheng very sincerely: "I am really undefeated." β
Hong Sheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, you can buy whatever you like, and the husband can support you." β
Hehe, never believe that women say that they are not defeated, whoever believes is stupid, this is all a lesson from the blood accumulated by the predecessors.
Although Hong Sheng's words were beautiful, Su Su knew at a glance that he didn't believe in himself and fell! What about trust between people!
Hong Sheng hurriedly handed Su Su a small box the size of a palm, pleasing his daughter-in-law, and said, "Let's see if you like it?" β
Inside the small box were five lychee-sized rubies, two pigeon's blood, one rose, and two rosΓ©, all of which were pure and transparent.
There are a lot of gemstones of such color and texture, but there are not such a big one.
"I originally wanted to put it on the dowry, and it looked decent, but it was too eye-catching, so I could only give it to you in private. When you look back, you recorded it on your dowry list, and it was only given to you by Mrs. Song. β
After Hong Sheng finished speaking, he pointed to the seven or eight small boxes under the bed that were the same size as Su Su's hand and said: "They are all similar things, there are gems, pearls, and diamonds, and the two boxes over there are Hetian jade and jadeite, you can keep them." If you are willing to play jewelry, you can play jewelry, that is, you will go back to the capital as a festival, which is also very decent. β
Previously, in Beijing, Hong Sheng had given Su Su a lot of good things, but he didn't expect that there were so many in private, Su Su was surprised: "Where did these things come from?" Don't you ......?"
Su Su knew that some troops were soldiers when they wore armor, and they were bandits when they took off their soldiers, and they were part-time murderers and goods.
As soon as Hong Sheng saw Su Su's expression, he knew that she was thinking about it, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't think about it, don't say that Qin Dusi was born in the Zhenguo Mansion, and he has never been short of silver, and he is the boss of Ha Miwei, Commander Liu, who is from a poor family and loves money very much, is also a gentleman who loves money in a good way." β
"Hami is located on the main transportation route of the Silk Road, and there are many caravan travelers, and naturally there are many robbers and bandits. Anyway, he had to train his troops from time to time, so Commander Liu often asked his brothers to sweep the bandits' dens around the area, which not only protected the business travelers, but also gave the brothers some benefits. β
Hong Sheng pointed to a few boxes, "Most of these things were obtained privately after I led the troops to surrender a fairly large bandit den after I became a thousand households. There is also a secret room in the rockery of our yard, which contains a lot of bronze porcelain and ornamental utensils that I exchanged gold and silver for. β
Afraid that Su Su would laugh at him, he said embarrassedly: "When I was a dart master before, I also knew that big families liked some old things the most, but I didn't have much knowledge and didn't know what was worth it." Anyway, those things are not as good as real money, and I only used a little silver to get them. I'll clean it up another day, you see. If you really have good things, you can keep them as heirlooms. β
Su Su felt that Hong Sheng was a brain, but she knew the value of those antiques in the eyes of the family.
Mrs. Shizi carried more than 100 dowries, but what the Song family really wanted to see was only the 20 antique utensils to play, even if it was a royal gift, it was just decent, and the Song family was not without it.
Only those twenty antique toys are the real heirloom treasures. After all, antiques become more precious the longer they age. And the things given by the emperor, to put it mildly, if you change the dynasty, I'm afraid you won't even be able to exchange the silver, it's just chicken ribs!
Su Su said suspiciously: "Isn't this house ready-made?" Why is there a secret room in the rockery, you built it? β
Hong Sheng shook his head and said, "Hami has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Tatar Varat has always been eyeing the interior of the Central Plains. Not to mention the previous dynasty, it is the powerful Great Chu, and in the more than 150 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hami has also been broken three times. They all slaughtered the city and destroyed the houses, burned and looted, so Hami routinely built the custom of secret passages and secret rooms, whether it was a Tibetan or a Tibetan, he always felt a little more peaceful in his heart! This house was no exception when it was built! β
Su Su nodded, indicating that he understood!
"There are also two boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and fine gems and pearls, which were also obtained during the war, or remelted or fried, it's up to you."
Those jewelry are the trophies that Hong Sheng deserves according to the grade, and naturally they have been recorded on the surface, so they will be disposed of by Su Su.
"The things on the surface of our house are all in the library, and you have seen them all, but they are some bulky furniture and fur fabrics, you can pick them from here to pay homage to the palace of Commander Liu, it can't be too simple."
When Su Su heard this, he remembered that Hong Sheng seemed to be saying just now that Commander Liu was from a poor family and loved money very much.
Thinking of Mrs. Qin, who was born in the Zhenguo Mansion and was not short of money, Su Su somehow remembered a Disney animation - Beauty and the Beast.
