Text Chapter 156: Dowry for others
So Mama Ying, who considered this, didn't take this matter to heart, and even Shangguan Yu didn't tell her, but just talked to the housekeeper.
After all, how can they Yu Wangfu be domineering and have to include the dowry of their own princess into the treasury, it's not that they can't, but they don't need it.
The weight of the three big characters of "Yuwangfu" is heavy, and Shangguan Yu has his own way, so when it comes to money, Mama Ying and the housekeeper have never made difficulties.
After Su Muwan listened to her words, she couldn't help frowning, and her heart confirmed a little more about her own knowledge, and then she asked again.
"Mama, when Concubine Su entered the door, did she include the dowry list in the treasury?"
Mama Ying shook her head, looked at Su Muwan with some meaning, and said.
"When Concubine Su entered the door, she didn't even bring back the dowry gift sent by the prince, let alone her own dowry list."
"What? Didn't even return the dowry? ”
Su Muwan couldn't help but sigh in surprise, her eyes began to widen, and her face was incredible.
Imagine that Shangguan Yu suddenly told him the news that he was going to marry Su Xinai, although he pretended not to care on the surface, he couldn't help but feel a little unspeakably sour in his heart.
Later, he forcibly suppressed a grievance in his heart, helped Shangguan Yu come to the door to propose marriage, and personally arranged the details of their marriage.
She thought that her heart had been polished hard enough to care about it.
But in the two days when Su Xinai got married, Su Muwan was like a balloon that had been deflated, and she was suddenly deflated and became weak.
In the end, he simply handed over these things to Mama Ying to take care of, and never paid attention to this matter again.
So she naturally didn't know that Shen Yun and Su Xinai were so bold that they didn't even return the dowry.
It's no wonder that she is so surprised, although this dowry is in the name of giving to the woman's family, but the people in the capital who want a little more face will give it to the husband's family along with the dowry.
This also shows that his daughter is dependent, and it also implies the idea of hoping that his son-in-law will treat his daughter well.
Not only that, the more people who love their daughters, the more dowries they will give, not to mention the ordinary people, let's start with the official eunuchs in the capital, there are still unwritten rules.
When the daughter of an ordinary petty official gets married, the sixteen dowries that can be paid are considered very good.
It's just that although the number is the same, the value of the things contained in it is not the same, some are just to make up the number, there are many worthless things in it, and some are every one of them.
If you go to a higher official position, or if you are a child of the royal family and take a concubine, you will go up another level.
Thirty-two tans were also prepared by Su Muwan for Su Xinai, and because Su Muwan disdained to use some means on this, Su Xinai's dowry can be said to be the best among the thirty-two dans.
This was followed by first-class and second-class officials and hereditary families, and the rules in these people's families were sixty-four dans.
Su Muwan herself was welcomed into the door as a royal concubine, and because the emperor personally ordered the marriage, she went directly to the highest registration, one hundred and twenty-eight quintals, and she looked very embarrassed.
But what about the truth, these one hundred and twenty-eight taels were all brought back with the dowry gifts sent by Shangguan Yu, and the things that Shen Yun and Su Qingyun had promised have not yet been revealed.
So it is equivalent to that Su Muwan is now equivalent to being married off from the Su Mansion with two sleeves.
But Su Xinai will definitely not be the case, think about Shen Yun's temperament, you know that some of the good things in Su Mansion must have been left to Su Xinai, after all, no matter how good she pretends to be to herself, but in fact, only Su Xinai is her beloved daughter.
What's more, the original dowry was prepared by Su Muwan herself, she didn't deliberately prepare well because she was bored with Su Xinai, but carefully selected many precious things from the treasury and put them together.
I think it may be because Shen Yun and Su Xinai value the preciousness of this dowry, so they have the heart to hide it privately.
Then his serious preparation at the beginning, wasn't he making a dowry for others and seeking benefits for Su Xinai?
Su Muwan wouldn't just watch her mother and daughter take advantage of this big advantage, this kind of forbearance was not what she wanted.
"Uncle Fu, you still have some friendship with various shops outside, you can help me investigate some information."
After thinking about it, Su Muwan said to the housekeeper.
"The princess just instructed, as long as the old slave can do it, she must do her best to die and help the princess investigate clearly."
Hearing that he was entrusted by Su Muwan, Duofu hurriedly explained, his face was very serious.
"That's the case, Uncle Fu, before I got married, my mother's family said that they gave me a few shops in my dowry and a few Zhuangzi outside the city, I want you to investigate, who are the benefits to be sent to now?"
Why didn't Su Muwan know that Shen Yun and Su Xinai were playing tricks on this matter, but didn't go directly to Su Qingyun to complain?
There is a reason for this, he has been a father and daughter with Su Qingyun for two lifetimes, and Su Muwan can say that he already understands this person very thoroughly.
He, Su Qingyun, is actually a very selfish and indifferent person in essence, only pursuing reputation and interests, and feelings are not important things at all in his opinion.
He and Su Xin love these two daughters, although he loves Su Xin more than himself, but no matter who it is, as long as it hinders his interests, he can bear to give it up.
Whoever can bring him to the last position of the ruler of the country, who is his "good daughter", before this, is just his pawn.
Besides, he still attaches great importance to Shen Yun and Su Xinai, if he rashly asks Su Qingyun about this, he will definitely dislike him, and feel that he is deliberately looking for trouble.
Only when all the evidence is clearly investigated, thrown in his face, and makes him lose face, can he take this matter seriously and return all the things that should be his own.
So Su Muwan asked the housekeeper to check these shops and Zhuangzi that should have been her dowry, as long as she figured out who was enjoying the final benefits, then this person should not blame herself for offending.
Uncle Fu is so shrewd, when he heard Su Muwan's instructions, he guessed that there was something wrong with his princess's dowry, so he took this matter to heart.
"It's not a big deal, princess, you gave me a list of these shops and Zhuangzi, and I'll go find someone to check it out in the afternoon."
After finishing speaking, Uncle Fu paused, looked at Su Muwan and began to ask again.
"I don't know what the princess plans to do after checking it?"
Su Muwan raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and there was a hint of interest in her eyes.
"How? Hehe, if it is found out that it is a thief, naturally there is no need to be polite, you will take the account book you found to my father at the Su family, tell him about it, and let him solve it himself. ”
"Of course, you just said that in order to do some good things, our palace deliberately prepared money for the whole house, and this princess even wants to sell some of her dowry, so she will order you to check the accounts."
On the word "house thief", Su Muwan deliberately accentuated her tone, which seemed very sarcastic.
When she said this, everyone had a faint conjecture in their hearts, since they were all family thieves, could it be the one who was still locked up?
The expressions on the faces of Uncle Fu and Mama Ying were completely different from the speculative expressions on everyone's faces, and they were appreciative of Su Muwan.
Admire?
It's appreciation!
Think about the two of them, one is in charge of various things in the palace, and has a lot of contact with all kinds of outsiders, and even because of Shangguan Yu's private business, he has dealings with people of all religions and nine ranks.
The other has been in the palace for many years before, what kind of conspiracy and intrigue have not been seen, what kind of femme fatale has not been seen, and no matter how scheming people come to him, they can find a fox tail.
The essence of these two people, a few words can guess people's minds roughly, and they can see things more clearly.
For Su Muwan's handling of this matter, they all felt that it was very proper, unlike the usual handling method used by people of Su Muwan's age.
In one word, wonderful!
Not only wonderful, but even some of the invisible feeling of killing people between talking and laughing.
Because of this incident, Su Muwan herself was originally a loss, but if she forced herself to come forward and let others know, the news would change direction and blow to herself.
Today, the son is filial piety to the country, respecting her parents is a compulsory practice for women, if people know that she is going to make trouble for her own dowry.
Everyone will not care what the truth of the matter is, and they will definitely give Su Muwan the great crime of unfilial piety to her parents regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one.
This Shen Yun is not Su Muwan's biological mother, but because she is used to acting over the years, people all over the capital think that she really regards Su Muwan as her daughter.
At that time, if Su Muwan dared to point the finger at her, then as long as Shen Yun cried a little, saying that she had raised a white-eyed wolf, Su Muwan's reputation would be ruined by her.
Don't underestimate these reputations, they all say that three people become tigers, and gossip kills people.
If it is not true, after the mouth of a number of people, the false becomes true. With this bad reputation, it is rare to want to wash white in the future.
So the best way to deal with it is for Su Muwan not to interfere at all!
Just like she said, let the housekeeper come to the door to inquire on her behalf, in the name of doing good deeds, it would be strange if Su Qingyun still maintained Shen Yun's mother and son at that time.
Su Muwan thought about it so thoroughly, so naturally the housekeeper and Mama Ying admired it, and the two of them exchanged a look with each other, and then nodded and laughed.
