Chu Lian nodded, this is natural, after meeting this mother-in-law a few times, Chu Lian can also vaguely feel that her mother-in-law is gentle.

Otherwise, Mrs. He would not have loved her so much, and often went to Liu's courtyard to visit.

After the two of them walked around and returned to Qinghui Hall, it was almost time for lunch.

Mama Liu saw that the two young grandmothers had arrived, and ordered the maid to serve the food.

The two daughters of the Zou family have been taken by the nurse to sit in the flower hall, and Mrs. He also sat down with the support of the big girl.

Soon a round table was filled with dishes, and Mrs. He sighed when she looked at the table full of dishes, "If your mother can sit here, then our family can get together!"

The whole table was silent when Mrs. He said a word, and Mama Liu, who was still on the side, saw that the atmosphere was not good, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Old lady, look, there are snow clams today!"

As we all know, snow clams are one of the most precious ingredients, beautifying and nourishing the skin, yin and lungs. In modern times, it is famous for its expensiveness, although Chu Lian is a food lover, but due to the constraints of economic conditions, he has never seen dishes made of real snow clams.

Hearing what Mama Liu said, she immediately looked over, and then saw a black half bowl in a small bowl with a green magnetic turtle pattern.

Chu Lian: ......

The corners of Chu Lian's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, after these few days, she shouldn't have any illusions about this damn Dawu Dynasty cooking, otherwise she could only be hurt!

No matter what the ingredients are, but this is a snow clam! I can't buy it with money, and it's just so ordinary to be put in a pot? And make it look like a dark dish, this ...... Who would dare to put it in your mouth?

Chu Lian was still interested, but she really didn't have the slightest desire to taste such a snow clam.

Shrinking his neck, this good thing should be left to others......

Mrs. He was reminded by Mama Liu, and immediately walked out of her sadness, she glanced at the two granddaughters-in-law with a smile, "The snow clam was sent by the Queen Mother, but it is rare to eat, this snow clam is very good for the woman's body after eating, and you will divide it after a while." ”

Zou should have eaten snow clams and knew its benefits, and his eyes showed two points of urgency, but Chu Lian really didn't have the courage to eat snow clams.

She said politely: "Since snow clams are so scarce, let's use them for grandmother, and granddaughter-in-law is in good health! ”

As soon as Chu Lian said this, the Zou family was not good at monopolizing the snow clams, so they also followed suit.

Mrs. He couldn't help it, so she had to ask Mama Liu to divide the small bowl of black snow clams into three parts, because this thing was not suitable for children, so she didn't give it to the two Miss Suns.

Mama Liu smiled and put the small white porcelain bowl filled with snow clams in front of Chu Lian, "Speaking of which, the third grandmother is really a blessed person, even if this snow clam is from the queen mother, she can only get it twice a year, so she was caught up by the third grandmother." ”

Chu Lian was embarrassed and wanted to cry without tears, but in fact, she didn't want to catch up at all.

In the end, it was really impossible, Chu Lian followed and insisted on sending the small bowl of black snow clams into his stomach, to be honest, the taste was not good, the fried was too salty, only tasted salty, and there were other tastes at all.

After eating, I hurriedly drank a bowl of bland soup.

This meal at Qingyun Hall was really painful.

Chu Lian finally solved the snow clam as if he was taking medicine, but he saw He Lao Taijun and Zou slowly eat a mouthful of snow clams, and then drink a sip of soup, that look, as if they were really eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas, if it weren't for the black snow clams being separated from a bowl, Chu Lian would have thought that the three of them were not eating the same dish.

In Mrs. He's place, Chu Lian didn't dare to show too much, and the tea didn't have to think about it, the tea here was all sencha, and it was really impossible to drink.

After the meal, Mrs. He and Zou both elegantly wiped their mouths with wet handkerchiefs under the service of the maid, and then rinsed their mouths.

In the afternoon, Mrs. He wanted to take a nap, and Chu Lian took this opportunity to quickly sneak back to his Songtao Garden.

She really didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that Mrs. He would let her eat something strange.

He Saburo didn't come back at noon, Chu Lian went back and poured three glasses of water first, and then washed his mouth with fine salt, which completely removed the strange taste in his mouth.

After tossing for a long time, Chu Lian leaned on the soft couch near the window and rested, there was wind outside today, and the cool summer breeze blew in through the window, which was still quite comfortable.

Xi Yan looked at her as if she was about to fall asleep, took a thin blanket and covered Chu Lian with it, and they all retreated lightly.

Chu Lian woke up more than half an hour later, and as soon as he raised his hand, he saw the red pink jade bracelet on his fair and slender wrist, and thought of what his sister-in-law Zou said in the morning.

Chu Lian frowned, and after a while, he shouted outside, "Xi Yan!"

Xi Yan walked in quickly, "Third grandmother, what are your orders?"

Chu Lian got up from the soft couch, touched the glossy bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, "Let's go, take me to the treasury to see my dowry." ”

"Ah, look at the dowry?" Xiyan obviously didn't expect Chu Lian to suddenly want to see this, the dowry list was prepared before marriage, everything was through Chu Lian's hands, how much was it worth, she knew best, why did she still have to look at it?

"yes, what's wrong? Can't see it?"

Xi Yan hurriedly shook his head, "Then you wait, the slave will go and get the key to the small storehouse." ”

Chu Lian was a little excited, and waved at Xi Yan with a smile, "Go quickly, go quickly." ”

Anyway, she is also a serious lady from the British government, although she is not favored, but the husband she married is Jing'anbo Mansion, and the dowry of the British government will definitely not be on a business trip.

In the past, my property was earned by my own work, but I didn't expect that in this Great Wu Dynasty, I didn't have to struggle, I could have an asset that only belonged to me, and I was happy when I thought about it.

The daughters of the Dawu Dynasty who came out of the cabinet, the dowry given by the mother's family is to be registered in the official government, which is the exclusive property of the woman herself, even if the husband and wife are separated in the future, these dowries can be taken away unconditionally. This is clearly stipulated in the marriage law of the Dawu Dynasty. Therefore, the more the dowry of the daughters of these families, the more important the bride is. In this prosperous Shengjing City, the amount of dowry is a measure of a daughter's favor at home, and if the dowry is more, even if it is a gathering of noble ladies in the future, it will be looked down upon.

Chu Lian's dowry was not mentioned in the original book, and when Chu Lian arrived in this Dawu Dynasty, she happened to catch up with the auspicious wedding, where did she have time to check the dowry, so until now she didn't know how much she was worth.

Xi Yan, who was leading the way in front, and Mama Gui, who was following Chu Lian, both had strange faces, their heads lowered, and the corners of their eyes glanced at the side from time to time, and the corners of their mouths were obviously Chu Lian, who was in a very good mood.

Songtao Garden is not far from the small warehouse of the husband and wife, and it is not necessary to arrive without half a cup of tea.

The little maid who sent the doorkeeper to leave, Xi Yan personally took the key and opened the door of a room, "Third grandmother, most of your dowry is placed here." ”

It's still daytime, and although the lighting in the house is not good, the light that can be seen through the windows still allows Chu Lian to see the things here clearly.

In a huge room, there are several rows of empty Bogu shelves, and those open wooden cabinets with good materials at a glance are also empty, only a few red lacquered wooden boxes are stacked at the end of the warehouse against the corner, which is particularly obvious.

As soon as he came in, the curvature of the corners of Chu Lian's mouth could not be maintained, his eyes widened and he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Mama Gui beside him.

Mama Gui glanced at Xi Yan, Xi Yan hurriedly stepped forward and held Chu Lian's arm, "Third grandmother, go and sit over there, the slave and the grandmother will carry the box over and let the third grandmother look at it the same." ”

Chu Lian looked at Xi Yan suspiciously, but did not speak, and let her help herself to the table.

Then she and Mama Gui carried four or five boxes in front of her, which were obviously half-human high wooden boxes, but only two women could carry them, so it was conceivable that there were not many things inside.

Mama Gui took out a post wrapped in red brown paper from her cuffs and handed it to Chu Lian, carefully considering the words, "Third grandma, this is the dowry list, take a look and see if there is anything wrong." ”

When Mama Gui asked Xi Yan to get the key to the small warehouse, she thought about why Chu Lian wanted to look at the dowry, and in the end, she could only think that Chu Lian was afraid that the dowry was missing, and wanted to come to the right pair.

Chu Lian took the post with a smile and opened it, a pair of moist apricot eyes swept from top to bottom, and saw that there were a total of ninety-nine dowries listed on the list, she nodded secretly in her heart, and she was quite satisfied.

So she was very interested in starting from the beginning, and asked Gui Mama and Xi Yan to show her the corresponding.

"Carved four seasons Ruyi screen. Chu Lian said.

Mama Gui and Xi Yan glanced at each other, took out the screen frame and a few embroidered surfaces from the box, and put them on the table in front of Chu Lian.

Xi Yan was embarrassed: "Third grandma, this screen is installed, and if you open it again, it will hurt the embroidered surface, if you don't use it now, don't install it?"

Chu Lian was dumbfounded, first looked down at what was written on the dowry list, and then looked up at what was in front of him, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, this name is written so high-end carved Four Seasons Ruyi Screen, it is clearly just a few pieces of lacquered wood and a few embroidered surfaces...... Even if she didn't have the vicious eyes of a tasting treasure, at a glance, she knew that the thing in front of her was not worth anything at all, maybe it was not worth ten taels of silver.

I saw a few more things, all of them were like this screen, they were all flashy, they only looked better on the outside, and they were more than a little different from the real good things.

In the end, Chu Lian didn't bother to look at it, waved his hand and asked Mama Gui to tidy up and cover these boxes, and held the dowry list alone in a daze.

She took a closer look, this is nearly a hundred dowry items from top to bottom, and there are almost no really valuable ones, look at Mama Gui's attitude just now, which is a small chapter of topaz that is more precious, she has taken it and put it in her personal purse.

And except for these nearly 100 dowries, there is nothing else, no shops, Zhuangzi, and fields!

Chu Lian smiled bitterly in his heart, sure enough, he was not so lucky.

Compared with the dowry of his mother-in-law Liu, his dowry is too shabby.
