Chapter 11 Dowry
"Here you go." Fang Xia changed her clothes, she looked haggard at this time, and she didn't look at her husband, but just took her dowry list and photographed it in front of Shiniang.
"Big sister is really, in front of these people, she behaves like this, is it that the people in Chang'an are now saying that I, the daughter of the uncle's house, bullied my sister? is so vicious that he doesn't even let go of his sister's dowry? Shi Niang let out a long sigh. However, she didn't let Fang Xia answer. He motioned for someone to open the box, and walked around in front of the box. I saw a scroll, opened it for myself, and nodded. Open the scroll and show it in front of everyone.
"The old man Mu Kang, a former university scholar, personally wrote "Persuasion of Learning", as everyone knows, when the old lady of the Lu family was young, he was enlightened by Master Mu, who was still a talent. Teachers and students get along and become lifelong friends. In his later years, Mr. Mu wrote a book written by himself, and the eldest lady of the Lu family was born. This public case, the big sister doesn't know? Even if the eldest sister doesn't know, look at the following, the old man mentions 'On the seventh day of the sixth month of the Xin Chou year, the eldest granddaughter of the old friend was born'. The seventh day of the sixth month of the new year is my mother's birthday. ”
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, looking at those words, he was a martial artist, but he still recognized the words, and couldn't help blurting out, "Then how did you become the eldest sister's dowry?" ”
"That's right, according to what my uncle said, my mother is recuperating in the countryside, even if she doesn't send someone back to her hometown, she should take it well, how can she make a dowry for others? Or this kind of particularly meaningful thing. Shi Niang laughed and looked at her eldest brother.
See a small box with the mark of royalty. When she opened it, there was a set of eight-needle hairpins with red pomegranate gemstones, she pursed her lips and smiled, picked one up, turned it over, and there were traces of polishing on the back. She sighed softly.
"Among the big sister's jewelry, is this set the most decent? can't be decent, this is what the current Queen Mother gave to the old lady of the He family. Mrs. He was the eldest princess of His Majesty, and after Mrs. He married her daughter, the mother was busy picking out this set of jewelry to add makeup to Mrs. He. More than 20 years have passed, and the inconspicuous Six Princes and Cheng Concubine Niangniang have become His Majesty and the Queen Mother. You are so bold that you dare to take it without knowing anything. Think that after grinding the marks on it, you think you can hide it from the world? Don't you know, every reward in the palace has to be recorded? ”
Wang Zhongli was stunned, the current queen mother, the emperor is the biological mother and son, plus the previous Princess Yiyang, the mother and son were quite difficult in the palace before, and the first emperor's six palaces were restless, and in the end, the six princes who had the most unstarting point ascended the throne. Naturally, he wanted to respect his biological mother as the queen mother, and the He family also trembled after the new emperor ascended the throne. Now that they took the makeup that the Queen Mother gave to Mrs. He, for a while, they really broke out in a cold sweat. But being scared is scared, Wang Zhongli is not bad, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support his wife, who was about to faint.
Fang Yun was also stunned, and took the box with both hands, Mrs. He was his biological mother, although he was born and his biological mother died, he really didn't have any impression, and now at first glance, the jewelry on his head that his biological mother wore when she got married had become Fang Xia's dowry, and she was full of anger for a while, is there such a bully.
"Congratulations to the eldest brother, I finally got Mrs. He's most commemorative set of jewelry back." Shi Niang squeezed out a big smile on Fang Yun. However, there is still a sentence that has not been said, and she estimates that she can only find one set. But she's a strict person, and she won't open her mouth without confirmation.
Fang Xia on the side was really about to faint, when she first came in, Fang Xia's heart was actually full of anger, these things were prepared by her parents, how did she know the origin of these? She was provoked by Shi Niang in the afternoon, so she rushed home to collect all the softness in her dowry. wanted to throw Shi Niang's face, but when Shi Niang took out two toys casually, that is, things that couldn't be said anyway, she was ashamed and indignant at this time, but she was really a little scared. Just now, she had actually been avoiding one thing, Mrs. He's death and Mrs. Lu's death. She tried to make herself forget all this, but now she was almost unsteady on her feet, and her whole body was like chaff.
"Father-in-law is really!" Wang Zhongli helped his wife and couldn't help complaining. How can these things be left indiscriminately.
In fact, what he didn't know was that the bulk industries such as the grange land and shops were easy to change, even if Fang Xian and the Huang family were not smart, there would always be a few smart people on the side.
But books like the books, calligraphy and paintings in He's dowry, and the set of jewelry just now, are all rare. Because of this, if you take it out and exchange it, it is difficult to guarantee that the Lu family and the He family will not know, but mixed in the dowry, Fang Xia is married to the petty official of the eighth grade, and they are not in the same circle. While adding brilliance, you can also hide from the world.
Besides, the Huang family has actually calculated, and the Lu family has really pursued the He family. He's Zhuangzi shop has long been gone, saying that it is difficult in the public school, and He's son can force his father to death.
As for saying that the Lu family took away her real estate deed, but she married too much, these can't be taken away, really her daughter is recovered, her daughter's family is tender, and the Lu family is always difficult to rummage through their house. If you really make trouble, you can say that the daughter of Lu Niangzi is small-minded, and she is worthy of being from the imperial business.
As for Fang Xia's dowry, the dowry of the married woman was filed in the yamen, so that the in-laws did not dare to use it, and if the mother's family wanted to take it back, it would be extremely undignified, which forced the male family to divorce his wife.
Even if the Lu family and the second girl knew about it in the future, she would step on the Lu family and the Fang family to the end. To put it bluntly, the Huang family has grasped the social ethics of this society, so they have nothing to fear. In modern parlance, man is cheap and invincible!
"This, what about the family?" Fang Yun finally came back to his senses, this time he got back the dowry, and it was not his sister who was embarrassed.
"Madame is unwell and resting; Uncle and Old Man He are in the study, and they haven't come out yet. But the lady in charge knew what he was asking, where were the adults in the family, and why was it like this.
"Since the adults are not here, these things will be dealt with when the adults come back." Fang Yun had the appearance of being in charge of the house, and hurriedly turned around and hugged his fist at Wang Zhongli, "As for the dowry, my sister-in-law can rest assured, how much money should be combined, and I will definitely make up for it when I turn around, Xu Yes, when the eldest sister got married, there was no one in charge in the house, I think it was something that was mixed up." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll take Xia'er back first." Wang Zhongli nodded, he was really not worried about this, and besides, he thought the same as Fang Yun, this was not a matter of one family, since he married the daughter of the Fang family, there were some things that he couldn't get rid of. It's better to be generous, so as to offend the Yue family, and lose both people and money. After finishing speaking, he hurriedly helped Fang Xia away.
