Chapter 9 Clever Dowry
When Cui Shi heard this, he was anxious. Xie's dowry is not a small amount, she has long been red-eyed, and now taking advantage of the opportunity of Qianxue's marriage, she is preparing to have a Li Dai Taozhuang, stealing Xie's dowry and changing it. If you hand it over at this time, won't all your thoughts be in vain?
She said aggrievedly: "Master, don't you trust the slave family?" Mo'er's dowry should be prepared by me, the mother, how can I give it to Mo'er and let her prepare it herself, if it is known by others, I don't know how to arrange the slave family? ”
Shen Qianmo didn't bother to watch her play, and said directly: "Mother, my daughter heard that the government doctor has often come and gone in your hospital these days, but what is her physical discomfort?" ”
Is it? Shen Yi'an also looked at Cui's and asked, "Rong Niang, are you unwell?" ”
Cui Shi laughed dryly and said, "Master, it's not a big deal, I just feel a little chest tightness and dizziness, so I asked the house doctor to come over and take a look, and the house doctor said that Xu was tired......
"Mother is so tired, she must be tired because of the dowry of Sister Qianxue, so how can Mo'er still bother her mother about the dowry? Besides, my mother still has to take care of Qianxue's sister before she gets married, doesn't she? It just so happens that Mama Xu, who happens to be next to her daughter, is also an experienced person, so it must not be a bad thing. Mother, what do you say? Shen Qianmo interrupted her and said with a faint expression.
Shen Qianmo already knew that Shen Qianxue was really pregnant, and she also knew the truth about the fire that day.
Meng Yunce has always disliked Shen Qianmo, and after getting along with Shen Qianxue, Shen Qianxue always said in his ear how stupid and stupid his sister was, which made Meng Yunce want to withdraw from his marriage with him in every possible way, so Shen Qianxue came up with an idea and asked Meng Yunce to arrange for Zhao Sanhuai to enter the mansion, so as to find an opportunity to harm Shen Qianmo. However, Meng Yunce didn't think about killing Shen Qianmo, and he didn't expect Shen Qianxue to be so ruthless, and he actually wanted to set fire to his sister. For this, he also reprimanded Shen Qianxue, and later covered up the past under Shen Qianxue's innocent pretending to be pitiful.
Shen Qianxue was very angry that day because Meng Yunce scolded her because of Shen Qianmo, so she complained to Cui's family, which happened to make the maids around her listen. Ruhan and Luzhu are good sisters, and they usually give them a lot of news, and this time is naturally no exception.
However, in the absence of evidence, she decided not to move.
Cui Shi looked at Shen Qianmo's unwavering eyes, and felt a little flustered. For some reason, under such eyes, she had a feeling of having nothing to hide. Could it be that she knows about Qianxue? She was shocked, she didn't have to fight with her now, she could only have a delaying tactic first. She thought for a moment and said, "Mo'er is so compassionate, it's really filial. Why don't we go to the warehouse together to count the real things after I've sorted out the dowry list in a few days? ”
"Don't bother so much, don't I still believe in my mother?" Shen Qianmo said: "Mother only needs to hand over the warehouse key to me, I already have a dowry list here, just check it with the physical objects in the warehouse." ”
"That's it, Rong Niang, you've worked hard for so many years, so I'll hand it over to Mo'er from today, and you can prepare for Xue'er with peace of mind." Shen Yi'an didn't know about Cui's twists and turns, and he didn't want to be entangled in such a thing as dowry.
When Shen Qianmo counted the dowry, Cui's was distressed and bedridden in the house. Those prepared fakes were intended to replace the famous calligraphy and paintings in the dowry, what should I do now, is it wasted? It costs money to make fakes! Now that stealing chickens doesn't make rice, how can she not be depressed?
Seeing that Cui's personal grandmother was reluctant to give up those things, she suggested: "Why don't Mrs. put those things in Zhenbao Zhai, if you meet those who are not good, sell them to them, and you can't recognize them." ”
Cui's family was originally from a small family, short-sighted, and greedy for small profits. Listening to the advice of my mother, although I felt that it was risky, I really felt sorry for the silver, so I did it according to my mother's advice.
Who is Shen Qianmo, it is a master's degree in psychology who has also studied psychology, and his observation and reasoning skills are first-class, and when he heard the news that the shopkeeper of Zhenbaozhai had seen Cui's family, he guessed Cui's plan.
Since she wants to die so much, let's help her. Shen Qianmo said to Mama Xu: "Mama Xu, I heard that your mother's family has a distant nephew who came to the capital from his hometown to join you, right?" ”
Mama Xu replied, "Yes, Miss." Speaking of which, the nephew of the old slave is also a scholar, but unfortunately there was a disaster in his hometown, and his life can't go on, so he wants to try his luck here. ”
Shen Qianmo nodded, and instructed Mama Xu: "Let your nephew do something tomorrow, if the matter is done, his benefits will be indispensable." ”
On the second day, a foreigner came to Zhenbao Zhai and asked if there was a famous work "butterfly play" by Pei Zhili, a painter of the previous dynasty. When the shopkeeper saw that it was a high-roller from out of town, he invited him into the inner room and sold him the fake "butterfly play".
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the out-of-town visitor sued Zhenbao Zhai to Shuntianfu, saying that Zhenbao Zhai was selling fake and deceiving the market. After Shuntianfu took over the case, he went to Zhenbaozhai to search, and he really found a batch of fakes. So Zhenbaozhai was seized and fined 50,000 taels of silver.
When Cui Shi heard the news, he was furious and fainted.
Luzhu and Mama Xu really admired their young lady more and more. Shen Qianmo still had a faint look, and said to Mama Xu: "Mama Xu, your nephew is doing a good job. Recently, there should be a batch of jewels sold in Linglong Pavilion, let him buy them at a low price as much as possible, and if things are done well, let him be the shopkeeper of Luoyufang. ”
Linglong Pavilion is under the name of the Cui family, and Luoyufang is the dowry of the Xie family, and it has always been managed by the Cui family. Over the years, the Cui family has taken the opportunity to transfer many things from Luoyufang to Linglong Pavilion. Now it's time to get it back.
Mama Xu's nephew is also an understanding person, and he naturally spent twelve points of energy to do a good job in this matter. A few days later, he bought a batch of jewelry from Linglong Pavilion at a price less than 40% of the market price. Shen Qianmo saw that Mama Xu's nephew was a little business-minded, so she hired him to be the shopkeeper of Luoyufang. The original shopkeeper had long been bought by the Cui family, and Shen Qianmo naturally couldn't keep him, and on the grounds of his advanced age, he gave him a severance pay and sent him away.
