Xiao Shen's anger was also a little painful, but she didn't dare to refuse Zhong Xiaoxin, she took a fancy to the family affairs of the sincere Bo Xin family, and the eldest wife of the Xin family saved some face for the Hou Mansion of Ji'an because of Zhong Xiaoxin, she wanted to talk about the family affairs of the sincere Bo family for Zhong 3, and she really had Zhong Xiaoxin to come forward to inquire, this face, even the Bai family could not replace it.

Xiao Shen glanced at the list of Dong Mei again, and only said that he knew, and left the list to send Dong Mei away, which was the meaning of this matter.

As soon as Dongmei left, Mrs. Shen, who was beside Xiao Shen, hurriedly said: "How can Mrs. deal with this matter, where can I find such things." "In the second room, the second master Zhong also helped the Shen family to make a few dollars in business, but this year he fell out with the Shen family, and the second master also went home to eat himself.

Xiao Shen sneered and said, "Do you think this is the eldest sister's idea?" The eldest sister has no knowledge, how can she know about these many objects, she still doesn't even have a bath bucket in her yard, and she still holds a wooden bucket to fetch water and scrub it, this must have been taught to her." Many of these objects are patterns that can only be used by married girls, and they are also good things in the capital, so it can be seen that there is someone behind the eldest sister who makes ideas for her and saves her dowry. ”

Xiao Shen didn't know that Dongmei was seen by Zhong Xiaoxin as the prototype, these things were written according to the room layout of Dongmei's mother, sister-in-law, and aunts in Dongmei's family before, and because Dongmei had the heart to please, she was specially selected to write the best she could know, and Xiao Shen only thought that someone was complaining for Zhong Xiaoxin.

"Who is this meddler?" Shen Pozi scolded.

"Who else. Xiao Shen sighed, "The eldest sister saved the eldest lady of the Xin family before, it has only been a few days, how many posts have the Xin family given to the Zhong family, today I went to Baique Nunnery, Miss Xin went to show her the way, and treated her as if she was a sister, this must be the Xin family wants to support her." And ......"

Xiao Shen's thought a little too much, although Zhong Xiaoxin and the third sister Zhong Xiaoxi are concubines, they are also concubines, Zhong Xiaoxin was born to the original match, and she wants to marry the royal family, and the third lady is born from the stepfamily, if according to Xiao Shen's fancies, the Xin family is the grandson of the long house, and they may not be able to be the clan wife, then the dowry must not be comparable to Zhong Xiaoxin.

In the past, Xiao Shen's family didn't care, Zhong Xiaoxin, a child of a dead mother, how could she compare with her third sister, and the Hou Mansion in Ji'an was used to not paying attention to these rules, but now the Xin family wants to support Zhong Xiaoxin, so Zhong Xiaoxin's dowry must have the style of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, which is the rule of a big family.

The wedding date of Zhong Xiaoxin and Duanwang will have to wait for the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to be discussed, but the Four Books and Six Rites must be about to start in the near future, Zhong Xiaoxin's dowry will soon start to list, and then the princess's dowry, the government and the Ministry of Rites will have a backup, if it is too little, or too shabby, what will the Xin family think? What will the people of the world think? What does the royal family think?

If you think that the Zhong family is rich, but deliberately does not buy a dowry for Zhong Xiaoxin, then everyone will know that the Zhong family is a family that does not respect the rules, and who would dare to marry the daughter of such a family?

If you think that the Zhong family has no money to buy a dowry for Zhong Xiaoxin, then everyone will think about it, even the marriage of the main maid is so simple, and the dowry of the step-maiden will not be rich, and who is willing to marry?

Of course, it can also be said that Zhong Xiaoxin's mother did not leave a dowry, but Xiao Shen's dowry was much, but this confirmed that Xiao Shen's only cared about his daughter and ignored the coldness of his stepdaughter, which shows that he had a good reputation in the past, and no one dared to ask for a daughter raised by a mother with such a reputation.

Even because Zhong Xiaoxin is married into the royal family, her dowry must be the richest among all the girls, unless Zhong 3 is likely to marry the prince as a concubine, otherwise under a house, the dowry exceeds Zhong Xiaoxin, and she can't escape the charge of contempt for the royal family.

Xiao Shen used to save a dowry for the third lady wholeheartedly, but today Zhong Xiaoxin took the initiative to ask for the dowry, and when she couldn't take it out, she suddenly figured out that unless she married the third miss into a family like Ji'an Hou Mansion that only talks about interests and does not talk about face, otherwise, Zhong Xiaoxin's dowry is thin, and her third miss will never want to marry into a good family, but she saves so much and such a rich dowry for the third lady, just hoping that the third miss can marry into a high-ranking family and a family with the face to talk about the rules.

Xiao Shen pondered carefully.

But asking her to share her daughter's dowry is like cutting her flesh, and to be honest, just Zhong Xiaoxin's list, even if she cuts her flesh, she may not be able to save it.

A moment ago, I was constipated, and my face was flushed, as if I couldn't pull it out, but the next second I suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and my body and mind were comfortable.

She doesn't have so much meat, so naturally she should let someone with meat cut it, and now she is not the only one who wants to please Zhong Xiaoxin, Zhong 2 has such a thing, and the Bai family is more anxious than her.

Xiao Shen thought about it, so he picked up the pen, and instead of crossing out some bells and whistles as Mrs. Shen thought, he added a few more strokes. Some of them are the most expensive items in Zhong Xiaoxin's list, and a "pair" is added to the back, and some are made up for a few pieces of furniture that have only recently been circulated in Beijing, and jewelry and fabrics with the latest technology. Only then did he put down the pen and said to Mrs. Shen with a smile: "Go and send this piece of paper to the East Courtyard." ”

Mrs. Shen took the paper and twitched all over her face: "Madam, this is ...... Okay?" The few things that Xiao Shen added were worth as much as the ones written by Dongmei.

Dongmei wrote, it was used in Beijing a few years ago, popular is popular, but it is not the best, speaking of which, some things can be popular, which itself shows the popularity of consumption, and the three or four products of people in Beijing have things for their own use, as long as a style is enough.

But these pieces of Xiao Shen's addition, especially those pieces of furniture, are not popular things, but furniture made of ancient craftsmanship, and the materials are also the best, which are the things that should be used by the concubines of the Hou Mansion of the real century-old family, to put it more bluntly, it is something that the Bai family has in his hands.

The Bai family has also been saving the dowry for Zhong 2, and these things have long been in the eyes of Xiao Shen. So before Dongmei was surprised, Zhong Xiaoxin dared to let her go to Xiao Shen's to ask for something, just like Xiao Shen's is now begging for things with Bai's family, it doesn't matter if you can't ask for things, as long as you can ask for it, it's something that no one can say if you cut off a part of it in the middle.

Mrs. Shen thought about it, this thing can really be done, and it will only be good for her family, so she went to the East Courtyard.

In the west courtyard, ginkgo biloba and bitter chrysanthemum are the doors that enter almost at the same time.

The bitter chrysanthemum brings rice, and the ginkgo brings news. Zhong Xiaoxin asked her to invite Zhong 9, but she didn't invite her back, but only talked about Zhong 9's situation.

It's still the old rule, the three of them don't wait for Zizhu to come back, they sit in one place regardless of the master and servant, and even chat while eating.
