Chapter 145: Return to Zhao
The two of them each took a copy, and they were relatively silent for a while.
Seeing this, Ma Li stood up from the ground and said in a loud voice, "Mrs. Cui, our Houfu Temple is small, and we can't afford your big Buddha, so let's go quickly!" ”
Mrs. Cui shook off the book in her hand, but smiled proudly.
"Don't worry, I'm definitely leaving, but what belongs to me, I'm going to take it with me. Like my... Trousseau! ”
Dingbei Hou's face changed at that time, and he suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap!
"What dowry?" Dingbei Hou said coldly, "You have been married for nearly twenty years, and the dowry has long been dispersed, even if there is a leftover, this relocation of the capital has also been thrown in the north." ”
"Master Hou is really good at laughing, when I married you, I wore ten miles of red makeup, and I brought most of my Cui family's wealth, even if the 20,000 taels of silver in the box were taken by you to tie up the boss and decorate your face, but those antique jade, the Grange shop is always there." Mrs. Cui calmed down and poured herself another cup of tea.
Jiao Shi remembered the locked-up houses next to the study in the front yard, and guessed a few points in his heart.
Although the Hou Ye refused to give her control on weekdays, it was always the things of the Hou Mansion, and naturally he didn't want to be snatched away, so he said helpfully.
"Sister, this is your fault. Hou Ye and you reconciled, it saved you face, you still have to count the dowry before you were a teenager? After so many years, marrying in the Hou Mansion, you, the main mother, don't contribute, you should always give something and silver, right? ”
"It's ridiculous, I've never heard that a man takes a concubine, and a concubine and a concubine marry, and he still needs his wife to pay? Do you want to go out and find someone to comment on the reasoning, so that everyone can listen to it, how Dingbeihou eats soft rice, and how he relies on his wife's dowry to live for so many years? In the end, he abandoned his wife, this is simply the first ungrateful white-eyed wolf in Tianwu! ”
Mrs. Cui was unforgiving, and she was separated from the left and right, so she just scolded happily.
At this time, Old Man Liu took out an old booklet.
"Before Scholar Cui married his daughter, he specially invited the three of us to his home. We have seen the dowry with our own eyes, and we have all signed the dowry list just to prepare for this day. Originally, I thought it would be a big move, but I didn't expect that it was still the most powerful university scholar. ”
He put the booklet on the table and sneered, "Just like Jinrou said, the dowry silver can be spent, but the gold, silver and jade grange shop must be returned!" ”
Mrs. Cui added, "Most of the gold, silver and jade in my dowry were brought to the Cui family by my mother, and they all have marks on them. Hou Ye don't want to hide it, otherwise if I see one outside in the future, I can sue Hou Ye for the crime of stealing. There are also those shops and granges, all of which are here in Weizhou, and the income has been given to the Hou Mansion for so many years, and there are not 100,000 taels of silver, but 50,000 or 60,000. I didn't ask for this, I was already nostalgic. ”
The Marquis of Dingbei clenched his fists tightly, he could really scrape two taels of frost on his face, he stared at the dowry list, and there was no possibility of quibbling.
He also knew that the Cui family's dowry was precious, and for so many years, even if he needed to give gifts, he tried to buy them outside, and rarely used them, but he didn't expect that now he would return to Zhao!
It's like making him spit out the fat that he ate into his stomach again!
But if you don't vomit, you can't do it, there have been rumors in the court in the past few days, saying that the emperor is going to use Old Man Liu, the old minister, if you don't release the dowry today, you will become enemies with the Liu family in the future...
"Okay, the dowry will be returned to you, but in the future, we will break off our righteousness and never see each other again."
Mrs. Cui didn't give him a ray of extra glance at all, just looked at Liu Zhiheng.
Liu Zhiheng immediately took the dowry list and said with a smile, "Master Hou, please, finish the inventory early, and we will leave early." ”
Dingbei Hou strode out, and Mrs. Cui was not at ease and followed together.
For so many years, her dowry has been locked in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, and she has prepared in her heart, and the silk and gold and silver must be gone.
But I didn't expect that her jewelry, gold, silver and jade, ancient books and woodware, were all there.
Not even the slightest bit of loss and damage due to the sudden southward departure!
She really didn't know whether to cry or be happy, happy that she could get back most of the dowry, but her husband would rather bring these dead things than take her.
But Jiao's family, who chased after him, was distressed to death, so many good things were actually going to be sent out!
Not only that, Liu Zhiheng is still pressuring Dingbeihou.
"Master Hou, there is a pair of jade Ruyi missing from the list, is Master Hou in the study, hurry up and take it out. This pair of Ruyi was married to Jinrou back then, and my mother specially selected her dowry to add makeup, and there was a mark on it. If the Hou Ye sells, also say it, I will redeem it. ”
Dingbei Hou's face was red, and he endured his anger and instructed Jiao's, "At that time, the pair of jade Ruyi in the dowry ceremony took it and returned it to them!" ”
Jiao didn't expect to be able to turn on himself, and immediately shouted, "Master Hou, that pair of Ruyi is my dowry, and I can't take it out!" ”
Liu Zhiheng laughed and mocked, "Hey, it's not easy for Master Hou, take the dowry of his wife, stop his wife and marry a new wife, if this spreads, it will be lively." ”
Dingbei Hou shouted angrily, "Go and get it back, and find a better supplement for you in the future!" ”
Jiao didn't dare to disobey in the end, so he could only endure the distress and take Yu Ruyi over.
Liu Zhiheng closed the dowry book with satisfaction, and then shook the box containing the deed of the grange and the shop in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Master Hou, Jinrou's Grange Shop, so many years of production have been given to the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion isn't too stingy now, right? You have transferred the manpower back, but you should not take away the things in the shop or the grain in the grange. After all, there was too much movement, outsiders couldn't stop guessing, and Hou Ye's face was not good-looking. ”
After that, he didn't care what Beihou said, so he shouted at the people he brought and began to move things out.
Car after car, more than 20 cars!
And Old Man Liu and the others waited until the last car left the Hou Mansion before they got up to say goodbye.
Dingbei Hou and Jiao's faces were as if they had eaten, which was very ugly.
Jiao Shi saw that Mrs. Cui was walking in style, bringing a large amount of belongings, as well as her favorite jade Ruyi, she was really angry, so she shouted loudly.
"Sister Cui, you are no longer from the Hou Mansion, live an honest life in the future, don't walk around in the name of the Hou Mansion. After all, you have lost your innocence, and you are already a broken flower. You don't have to be ashamed, we still want it! ”
Mrs. Cui didn't want to deal with her, men are unreliable, but with money and wealth, life will not be bad in the future.
Unexpectedly, Jiao's did not give up, and she naturally couldn't endure this breath before leaving.
So, she turned her head to look Jiao up and down, and asked with a smile.
"My mother only gave birth to me, where did you come out of your sister? Our Cui family is a scholarly family, and my father is a scholar of the dynasty, even if he devotes one percent of his heart to teaching his daughter, he can't teach a fool like you! In the future, don't climb the relationship indiscriminately, so that others will think that you dislike the Jiao family and want to change your father! ”
"You talk nonsense!" Jiao was so angry that she wanted to scold back, but Mrs. Jiao didn't give her this opportunity.
As soon as she designated Beihou, she smiled again, "Oh, I forgot, you have already found yourself a father!" When you are walking around, you'd better stay away, otherwise you don't know, and you think that your father took his daughter out! ”
At this moment, even Dingbeihou was about to vomit blood angrily, "You are presumptuous!" ”
