Chapter 106: Mother's Dowry

Ye Starling sat on the top, Yu Bao sat on his lap, dangling his little short legs, holding pastries in his hands and stuffing them into his small mouth. The cheeks are bulging, like a little squirrel.

Ye Starling's heart was playful, he stretched out a finger and touched it gently, and said, "What's the matter, the food in the General's Mansion is not appetizing?" How did you starve like this? ”

Yu Bao shook his head, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and then replied: "No, the rice in the General's Mansion is delicious, the dishes are also very fragrant, and the cakes are soft." However, if you can't see the second father, the fish treasure will not be fragrant. ”

One big and one small, one question and one answer, as if completely forgetting that there were still two people standing in the center.

Mrs. Liu smiled awkwardly on her face, and said familiarly: "Oh, our little mouth is really sweet." Yubao, don't pester Chitose Lord, Chitose Lord is tired from a busy day, come over to Grandma and let Grandma hug him! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and took a step forward, and when he was about to go further, he was frightened by Ye Xing's eyes and didn't dare to move again.

Yu Bao turned his head and repeated: "Grandmother?"

The little milk voice is full of curiosity.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was overjoyed, thinking that the three-year-old child couldn't figure out the relationship, so she hurriedly explained: "Yes, your grandmother is your mother's mother, and the princess will call her courtier's grandmother!" ”

As he spoke, his outstretched hands reached out again.

Yu Bao tilted his head left and tilted his head right, as if he didn't understand a little, and asked: "Then when my mother got married, did you prepare a dowry for my mother?" ”

Brother Gu Heng said that when his mother got married, his grandmother gave his mother a lot of silver, Zhuangzi and a shop, but why didn't he hear his mother say it?

Mrs. Liu's face froze, where did she prepare any dowry. Speaking of which, even if they find out at the age of 9,000, she is just a stepmother.

It turned out that before Lord Liu entered Beijing to take the exam, he had already married in his hometown and had a daughter.

It's just that after winning the list, he hated the poor and loved the rich, looked down on the wretched wife at home, and sent a letter of resignation back to his hometown, and no one even appeared.

A few days ago, someone suddenly stuffed a letter to Mrs. Liu, saying that the third princess who was favored by the dynasty was actually the child of Lord Liu who abandoned that daughter before.

After Mrs. Liu went back, she and Lord Liu summed it up, anyway, the previous wife also died, and the daughter also died, leaving only a three-year-old girl, so it was better to admit it.

There is a granddaughter of the third princess, no matter how you calculate it, you won't pay for it.

No, just take advantage of the banquet in the General's Mansion today, Mrs. Liu originally had no post, but she begged another lady to bring her in.

But before she saw the face of the third princess, she was discovered by the subordinates of the General's Mansion, and she walked step by step, but there was really no way to contact her, and finally chose to stop the carriage on the street.

Yu Bao's black eyes stared at her.

Mrs. Liu laughed dryly: "That, your grandmother didn't know it when your mother got married, so, so,"

"So you didn't prepare a dowry for my mother?"

Yubao was a little angry, why did other people have their mothers, but her mothers didn't?

Mrs. Liu glanced at the nine-thousand-year-old adult who had never spoken, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, princess, the courtiers will go back to prepare a dowry for your mother, there are a lot of them, all of them have been made up, do you think this is good?" ”

Yu Bao pouted and said reluctantly, "Let's talk about it when you're ready." ”

Then he turned his head and got into Ye Starling's arms, and yawned: "Second Daddy, Yubao wants to sleep." ”

"Okay, the second father will go back to sleep with Yubao." Ye Xing left with Yubao in his arms.

Mrs. Liu felt that as long as the dowry was ready, she would be the grandmother of the third princess, and she was happy when she thought about it. Hmph, in the capital in the future, see who dares to look down on her!

Especially the General's Mansion, a broken post, when she is rare!

Back in the yard, Yu Bao was hugged by Mama Qiu and freshened up, changed into a soft middle coat, Yu Bao saw that the second father had not left, and happily pounced over: "Second father, do you want to sleep with Yu Bao?" ”

Ye Xing pinched her little nose and asked, "Does Yubao want a grandmother?" ”

Yu Bao shook his head and suddenly asked, "Second father, will there be a lot of silver in my mother's dowry?" ”

Ye Xing frowned.

Wang Jinzhong hurriedly continued: "If you go back to the princess, according to the family background of Lord Liu's family, the dowry is only two thousand taels of silver. ”

Yu Bao lowered his head and snapped his little fingers, some of which he didn't understand, so he simply asked Wang Jinzhong: "Father-in-law Zhongzhong, how much silver does it cost to invite a master?" ”

Since he became familiar with it, Yubao always affectionately called Wang Jinzhong Zhongzhong.

Every time Wang Jinzhong was called so softly by the princess, he couldn't wait to take out his heart and give it to her. After a moment's thought, he replied, "It depends on what kind of master you want to invite." ”

Yu Bao said: "If you want to be very knowledgeable, you can teach Sister Yaya and the children in their village." ”

Wang Jinzhong smiled: "That's not that you need to be particularly knowledgeable, just be noble, because the village school can only teach for a few years, and if you are older, you will have to go to the county capital to study." ”

"How much silver is that?" Yubao asked.

Wang Jinzhong: "Ten taels of silver a year is enough." ”

Yu Bao asked again: "How much does it cost to build a school?" ”

Wang Jinzhong calculated: "I haven't counted the specific number of children and old slaves in Dayou New Village, but there are only a dozen or twenty people who can go to school in a village, so that three schools, plus some tables, chairs and benches, fifty taels are enough." Why did the princess ask about this? ”

Didn't you just talk about the dowry?

Although Yubao didn't know arithmetic, she knew which one was more and which was less, so she asked in surprise: "Then if the dowry that woman gave to her mother is taken to Sister Yaya and them to build a school, won't you be able to build a big house and invite a lot of masters?" ”

Wang Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, and was a little excited in an instant: "Yes, yes, princess Dashan!" That's enough for these children in the village to read for decades! ”

The pride of Yubao Meizizi.

Ye Xing was also pleased, and deliberately teased her: "Didn't Yubao want to save money for his second father to marry a daughter-in-law?" Why are you willing to take it to build a school? ”

Yubao thought that the second father was angry, and the little hand hurriedly took the big hand, and coaxed the little adult: "Don't be angry with the second father, Yubao has the money you saved for marrying your daughter-in-law." Yubao wants to use the money he earns to marry his second father's daughter-in-law! ”

Ye Xing was surprised: "Yubao means that he doesn't like that woman's money, so he uses it to build a school?" ”

Yu Bao nodded, and shook his head again: "It's not that Yu Bao doesn't like money, he just doesn't like that woman." ”

Ye Xing touched her head and said with some distress: "Yubao doesn't like it, the second father will let them drive them away!" Keep them away from Yubao so that they won't be unhappy. ”

Yu Bao shook his head: "Second father, Yu Bao is not unhappy." Yubao is very happy, he has money for Sister Yaya to build a school, why is he not happy? ”

Ye Xing was stunned, and turned to laugh.

Wang Jinzhong also turned his head with a smile and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: What a kind and lovely child!
