Chapter 458: Dowry

The face value of five hundred taels and one chapter looks like it is only eight or nine, five thousand taels of heaven.

This is the dowry she gave as a mother-in-law?

Then Aunt Huang has prepared this number for Xie Li!

Seeing that the old lady's face was cold, Qi was also a little angry in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, so he had to say, "Mother also knows that now the daughter-in-law's hands are no more ...... than before."

"Isn't it like before, aren't all the shops on Chang'an Avenue given to Jiang Shuhua? I heard that the companion room you accompanied her to the East Palace still has a long relationship with the house? How much has been given in half a year?"

Qi's eyelids jumped, and he didn't expect that these things had not been hidden from the old lady's eyes.

I still have to quibble a few words, but when I saw the old lady's expression, I knew that the old lady had evidence for this, otherwise she wouldn't have said so.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, the old lady thought that the Qi family was going to enter Beijing soon, but she didn't be aggressive anymore, but just said coldly: "The holy decree of marriage is clearly written.

Even the official family wants us to dissociate ourselves from Jiang Baolin, you, who are mothers, are still far away from Princess Chen like this, and it has been passed out, what do you make the saint think? What do you make other people think? Do we want the dignity of our family?"

Qi Shi only felt that his heart was terrible, but he didn't dare to argue with the old lady, so he had to say, "In the end, it was a child raised by me who was so young, and now that she is in the East Palace, I can't see her face, and I am really worried in my heart.

People like us still need to be taken care of from time to time, let alone in the inner courtyard of the deep palace? Now that Shu'er is pregnant again, there is a crown princess and two side concubines staring at her, and life is really difficult."

Speaking of Jiang Shuhua's days, Qi's tone was a little choked.

The old lady really couldn't get used to her unclear temperament, but she didn't have a good seizure, so she just kept silent.

When she stabilized a little, she said, "I don't care what you want to do with that, to be honest, it's your own money, and I don't care, but you must at least know your identity."

The third girl married to King Chen's mansion, you are King Chen's mother-in-law, if you don't give the third girl dignity, that is, you, the mother-in-law, look down on King Chen, I will ask you, can you afford to talk about this?"

"This ......" Qi's face was a little sneering, "This dowry is carried over, how can I know that those are from me and those are from the public?"

"What you say is funny," the old lady directly pierced and said, "When you married your daughter with the Qi family, didn't you have a dowry?"

These words made Qi Shi stunned for a moment, speechless.

Nowadays, when the daughter's family gets married, the dowry will go out first on the day before the wedding, and after arriving at the in-law's house, the dowry will be spread out and placed in the courtyard, which is called "drying the dowry".

It is also to tell the husband's family that the mother's family values the girl, and wants the husband's family to look at the meaning of the wife.

It's just that in this way, the atmosphere is flourishing, and this dowry is not thin.

And generally speaking, the family that has given birth to a daughter in the family begins to save the dowry for the girl when she is young, and this task is the mother's.

Generally, mothers will give their dowry to their daughters, and then use them as their dowry.

In this way, from generation to generation, some precious objects have the meaning of inheritance.

The Qi family was not from a small family, and the original dowry was naturally very considerable.

But......

She originally planned to leave these things to Shu'er, but she didn't expect that Shu'er would become the treasure of the East Palace later, and she couldn't give these things out.

Although I didn't give it out, in the past six months, I took two pieces today and two pieces tomorrow, and I actually gave a lot.

In her opinion, this was originally intended for Shu'er, but now although it is a different way, it still has to be given to Shu'er after all.

But I didn't expect that now I was forced by my mother-in-law to give Xie Songhua.

Even though she was very unhappy in her heart, the Qi family also understood that the old lady's words in this matter were reasonable, and she had no way to refuse.

Therefore, I can only respond with unwillingness.

This was unwilling to grind her, and after looking at the dowry list for a long time, she still couldn't hold back.

"Although it is said that Shu'er is an adopted daughter, and Songhua is the blood and blood of our family, there is a saying that it is better to be born than to be nurtured, and I really don't know what the child thinks in his heart."

These words clearly brought two points of resentment, and the old lady knew that she was very biased, but she just laughed and did not speak.

But somehow, I suddenly remembered what I heard yesterday afternoon.

Looking at Tu'er coming from Yanchun Tai every day, she is also in a pretty good mood, I am afraid that the three girls really have no sad emotions about going out.

Originally, this was not a bad thing.

Can......

The old lady finally felt that something was not good.

This girl who is going to marry out naturally has to devote herself to her mother's family.

What's more, it's a high-priced daughter like Xie Songhua.

I don't have my mother's family in my heart, and if there is anything in the future, I will definitely not help my mother's family very wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, she was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Qi hurriedly said that he would go back and count the dowry and send it over.

In fact, I was really unhappy in my heart, and I couldn't stay stunned.

After the meeting, the Summer Palace couldn't hold back his temper, "I really don't know what to say! Who doesn't know that Xie Songhua doesn't have me as a mother in his heart at all.

If it weren't for her, I would be where I am today? When she stepped on me, she didn't think about my decency at all, but now she wants me to make a face for her!"

Liang's mother came in with a cup of autumn pear and red date soup, and when she heard this, she said softly: "Mrs. and the third girl are mother and daughter in the end, but the girl returned home a little late, and it is naturally not so easy for this child to cultivate feelings when he is older.

Seeing that she is about to leave the cabinet, is the wife still so awkward with the girl? According to the old slave, it is better for the wife to take this opportunity to ease up with the girl, to be honest, when the girl goes out, if she wants to ease up, there will be no chance."

"Why should I reconcile with her?!" Qi Shi was not happy when he heard this, "Do you want me to beg her? Don't tell you that she will be Princess Chen in the future, just like her, even if I ask her head in the future, she will not stretch out her hand."

After speaking, he immediately added, "I won't ask her for anything, if something happens, I will be trapped to death, and I will never talk to her!"

Mother Liang sighed softly when she heard this, since the third girl married to the East Palace, the motherly love between the wife and the third girl was over.

Liang's mother knew that this was not good, but she didn't have any good tricks, so she had to smile and said, "That's it, don't be angry, don't be angry, if you really can't see it, just bear with it, and it will take less than a month."

"I feel sorry for my dowry!" Liang's mother is her own person, and Qi is not afraid to say what is in her heart, "With my temperament, I don't want to give a penny.

It's just that for the sake of face, I prepared 5,000 taels in the end, but I didn't expect the old lady to be too little, and asked me to take out my dowry, which I originally planned to give to Shu'er."

Mother Liang only felt a headache when she heard this, and it took a long time before she smiled and said, "Madame, just think it's good to do business."

"Doing business?" Qi didn't understand this for a while, "What do you mean by that?"
