Chapter 149: Dowry
Jiang Huaiyang is rising, but Ruan Yuyi was afraid that something would happen without knowing it, so she didn't dare to hide it from A-Niang.
When Madame Ruan learned that the person who claimed to be the guard during the day was actually the current saint, she was surprised and relieved. As long as His Majesty knows, he will not cause death.
However, this new emperor is indeed very different from what she imagined, If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have imagined that the rumored, ruthless and bloodthirsty new emperor gave birth to the skin of an ordinary noble son, gentle and noble.
When the new emperor came back the next day, Madame Ruan saluted in a proper manner, "I didn't know it was Your Majesty yesterday, I was offended, and I hope Your Majesty will not take it to heart."
Jiang Huaiyang was unexpectedly gentle, "Madame's words are serious, I can't just play with Ling Ling, but I implicated Madame in being teased." ”
Naturally, she denied it again and again.
With a man present, it was naturally inconvenient for her to sew small clothes for Ruan Yuyi.
Ruan Yuyi saw that the atmosphere was stagnant, so she proposed to play a few games of chess.
Mu Xiang looked for chess, and the porcelain in the pear wood box was round, and it was as smooth as jade, which was because of the glaze. Generally, the chess pieces made in this way are distinguished by brown and white, but these are burned in front of me to be called black and white.
After setting up the chessboard, he pushed the new emperor to come first, he didn't look too interested, and refused lightly.
Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Yuyi played a game of black and white respectively.
It turned out that there were still backs and forths, but Ruan Yuyi hadn't been down for a long time, and she was unfamiliar, and it didn't take long for her to fall behind.
She held a sunspot between her fingers, and it was about to fall, and there was a crisp bump, but she suddenly saw that the form on the chessboard was wrong, and took it back, "Auntie, this doesn't count, I think it's wrong." ”
Mrs. Ruan chuckled lightly and shook her head helplessly, "You are called Mao Qingxian, and regret chess is so reasonable." ”
It was her brother's word.
She lowered her eyelashes and smiled lightly. My brother did always let her.
Her white hand was covered with a hand, and the bones were distinct, leading her to fall back to the sunspot. He whispered in her ear, "There's still room to turn around, I'll teach you." ”
Mrs. Ruan lowered her eyebrows and was noncommittal.
After that, Jiang Huaiyang pointed out on the side and said a few words lightly, but it didn't take long for the situation to turn around.
"Your Majesty is really good at playing." Winning two games in a row, she smiled and praised.
His eyes were slightly dark, and he was still thinking about it quickly, but the situation in the court was changing, and the princes and ministers had their own thoughts, which was much more intense than this.
When the son was fighting, the guards outside came to report that there was a woman who claimed to be Cheng Yushi's wife, Zhu, and came to return the dowry.
Madame Ruan glanced out the door, waiting for the new emperor to speak.
"Xuan." He said.
The guard was ordered to retreat, and when he came back, he was accompanied by Cheng Zhu's and the servant Li's mother, and the little servant behind him put down two paulownia wood boxes.
Cheng Zhu hurriedly knelt down, shouting in his mouth that His Majesty Wan'an was safe, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
She had heard that Mrs. Ruan was temporarily living here, and she planned to perfunctory and out of her heart, and entered the courtyard gate, but she listened to the guard's instructions, saying that His Majesty was inside, and asked her to follow the rules carefully.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty really cared about this Sister Yi, she sent those gold and silver clothes, but she didn't see Sister Yi open her fingers and leak something to Cheng Fu. She gritted her teeth in hatred.
Ruan Yuyi didn't know why, and frowned slightly.
Mrs. Nguyen explained to her, "I asked her to return the original dowry." Nan Nan has no relationship with the Cheng family, and there is no reason for the dowry to stay with the Cheng family. "It's more for the people of the Cheng family, to vent evil anger for her.
The servant woman beside Madame Ruan had worked with her master to make a dowry before, and she recognized what should be inside, so she stepped forward and opened the lid and flipped it carefully.
She pursed her lips and turned back to say, "Madam, nothing in it matches. ”
Today, Cheng Zhu's anger has long been extinguished, and he doesn't dare to be presumptuous, because he hurriedly explained, "In the past, those who had already added the process of the mansion were used, where could they still find it, so they found an equivalent object to replace." ”
Her eyes sparkled. This is a mixed bag.
It's true that part of the dowry is used, but she is not willing to take out the remaining part of the family, which are all precious things, and now these are not comparable to the half of the dowry.
She was willing to let go, so she made up a reason to prevaricate.
Mrs. Ruan's face was slightly gloomy, and she showed the charm of being a housewife, "The Cheng family didn't promise me like this before." ”
Cheng Zhu secretly sneered, but his face was not obvious. She moved out of the government at that time, and I really doubt that the Cheng family would have gone down at that time, so she would have smashed the Cheng family in person, so she could not go down first.
Cheng Zhu made an embarrassed appearance, and only shirked and repeated Fang Cai's words.
was at a stalemate, Jiang Huaiyang suddenly spoke, his voice cold, "I remember, there is a saying in the law of Dawu, although a woman's dowry is brought to her husband's family, its ownership is still that woman, and her husband's family must not move a single bit." ”
"How did you get here," he said slowly, "and there's a change?" ”
Cheng Zhushi trembled and lowered his head, "Your Majesty Mingjian, it's really-" She regretted coming this time a long time ago. It's unlikely that she would ever vomit it all at this time. Those things that have fallen away have long since disappeared.
She stumbled, but she couldn't figure out why.
Ruan Yuyi heard that something was wrong, and when she saw Cheng Zhu's like this, she also guessed that the dowry she had sent at the beginning didn't know what she was trying to do. clenched her skirt slightly, A-Niang devoted herself to her, but she couldn't get Cheng Zhu's half a cent to treat her well.
He played with her slender fingers and said casually, "Tell me, what should I do about this?" ”
She exhaled softly, suppressing the resentment in her heart, "I want to return it as it is." "The trees, rocks, courtyards and pavilions that the Cheng family has purchased in the past two years are not known how many of them are taken from her dowry.
But it makes sense to let A-Niang live a hard life over there.
He hummed, agreeing with the approach.
Cheng Zhu was completely panicked, half of the treasury was okay, and the other half couldn't be found even if she was sold.
She squeezed out a smile, "Your Majesty, you are still raising a baby in the Cheng Mansion in Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, why don't you give it a few more days." ”
She clinged to her relatives, thinking that if she moved out of this relationship, Mrs. Ruan couldn't help her. She suddenly felt a little smug in her heart, and threw a smug look.
He squeezed his fingertips into Ruan Yuyi's fingers, clasped them slightly, and didn't raise his eyes, and said leisurely, "Why do you need to be lenient." Mrs. Cheng reminded me that if the Cheng family really can't take it out, it is not impossible to use the eldest princess's belongings to offset it. ”
Cheng Zhu's face turned pale.
Yes, but she is looking, the new emperor has never admitted the relationship between Xingqiu and the eldest princess, she is not hitting the road to death.
The solution was finalized, and Cheng Zhu was sent out.
I don't know if she begged the eldest princess or scattered it, in short, on the day of Mrs. Ruan's departure, she did scrape together enough items of equivalent value to send.
Jiang Huaiyang meant that these things would be handled by her, and Ruan Yuyi would ask A-Niang to bring them back to Ruan's house in Wuzhou, which would also make the family more comfortable.
