Chapter 855: Discussion of the Dowry
"Hiss~hiss~hiss~" Qiu Yuzhen, who was hiding around the corner, whispered to Lin Luoyao.
Lin Luoyao heard this strange sound, she turned around and saw Qiu Yuzhen waving her hand, this is her home, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, which shows that some things have to be carried by other people.
Qiu Yuzhen made a few gestures to her, pointed at her, then made a walking movement with her fingers, and finally pointed at herself, then tapped the palm of her hand, and asked Lin Luoyao if she understood.
Lin Luoyao stretched out her thumb to indicate that she knew what it meant, and Qiu Yuzhen turned around and left.
Qiu Yuzhen meant to let Lin Luoyao go to her room and wait for her, she had something to discuss with her.
Lin Luoyao didn't know what Qiu Yuzhen was looking for her, but she could guess a little, it should be Lou Yun and Nangong Li's matter. She went to Qiu Yuzhen's room, Guo Ye was "driven" by Qiu Yuzhen to other wives and concubines during this time, especially Qi'er, she was pregnant and needed her husband's care the most.
Although this girl has no emotional foundation with Guo Ye, this is a romantic crime committed by Guo Ye, and of course he has to pay it back.
Guo Ye is not here these days, Qiu Yuzhen is a lot cleaner here, and it is also a lot cleaner. It's also a lot more deserted.
Although it's summer, Qiu Yuzhen's room has an indescribable cold feeling, maybe it's the reason why no one lives in it, after all, sometimes she's busy with work, Qiu Yuzhen will sleep on the side of the alliance, and there is a small room for her to rest in her office.
Although Lin Luoyao is familiar with herself, this is a room for a married woman, so she should be more restrained.
Lin Luoyao just sat at the round table, and after a while, Qiu Yuzhen pushed the door in.
She was holding a gift list in her hand, which was the dowry she had prepared for Nangong Li. Qiu Yuzhen handed this to Lin Luoyao, Lin Luoyao looked at it carefully, and muttered to herself: "Three thousand taels of gold, one hundred pearls of the South Sea, ten buckets of pearls of the East China Sea, three corals of the South China Sea, a pair of jade Ruyi, and one thousand brocades." ”
After reading the gift list, Lin Luoyao's hands trembled slightly, and she frowned.
Qiu Yuzhen's heart was chuckled, this is what she wants to discuss with Lin Luoyao, when Lin Luoyao and Lou Yun got engaged, Qiu Yuzhen's dowry was 1,000 taels of gold, 30 Persian night pearls, 20 coral beads, a pair of white jade bottles, and 300 brocades.
Now Nangong Li's dowry is more than twice as much as Lin Luoyao's, not to mention the Nanzhu and Dongzhu among them, just the three extremely rare South China Sea corals are worth almost 30,000 taels of silver.
It is reasonable for Lin Luoyao to be angry, women are very concerned about this, after all, marriage is only once in a lifetime, and everyone wants their own to be better than others.
Seeing Lin Luoyao's expression, Qiu Yuzhen hurriedly explained: "Miss Lin, don't be angry first! Here's the thing....... You ...... Hear me out first. Qiu Yuzhen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her palms and feet were also sweaty, and she would sweat when she was nervous.
Originally, Lin Luoyao was a little sorry for Nangong Li, although Nangong Li came first, but the marriage contract was not dissolved, and they had indeed been hiding it from Lou Yun and Lin Luoyao.
Lin Luoyao is also a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and when she and Lou Yun got engaged, almost everyone in the entire northwest knew about it. It's a bit of a pity for her.
Qiu Yuzhen wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and said, "That, didn't I just come to discuss with you, as for your share, sister, I will compensate you well in the future." It definitely won't be worse than Ali. You can rest assured of this. That one...... I ......"
The young lady of the Zhongzhou League, who is sharp and eloquent, is also a little incoherent now.
Lin Luoyao put down the gift list and said: "Sister Qiu, you are giving too little, our Qiu family is not without money, this is a little too wronged Sister Nangong, the dignified number one beauty in martial arts, it is worth this little thing, it will make people laugh when you say it." ”
Hearing Lin Luoyao's words, Qiu Yuzhen was stunned.
He stared at her blankly.
Lin Luoyao shook her hand in front of her eyes, Qiu Yuzhen came to her senses, Qiu Yuzhen grabbed her hand, and then said, "Lin girl, what did you just say?"
Lin Luoyao said unhurriedly: "I said that the dowry for Sister Nangong is too little. ”
Qiu Yuzhen stood up, then touched Lin Luoyao's forehead, and then said, "Honey, aren't you sick?"
Lin Luoyao pressed Qiu Yuzhen's shoulder to sit down, and then said, "Sister Qiu, I am very sober, I said that the dowry for Sister Nangong is indeed less." Just a few things seem to be insincere. ”
Qiu Yuzhen looked at her blankly, what? No sincerity? Big sister, are you mistaken! What she gave her was more than twice as much as what she gave you.
Lin Luoyao saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone not far away, she picked up the pen and added some more to the gift list.
Then he looked at it and nodded in satisfaction.
After handing it back to Qiu Yuzhen, Qiu Yuzhen looked at it this time, whether it was stunned, and her mouth was big. Almost dislocated jaw.
Qiu Yuzhen asked: "Lin girl, you can't be joking, you have added so much, the key is that I don't have these things here." ”
Lin Luoyao chuckled and said, "Hehe~~~ Is there anything in this world that can't be bought with money?"
Qiu Yuzhen said: "It's true, nothing, but...... It's just a lack of money. This time I used all the money my father had left behind, and some of it was withdrawn from my private treasury. And although the Qiu family is rich, but I am a married daughter, and the money in the family is not in my control at all, as for where the money went, I don't know, the only thing I can use is the silver in the letter that my father gave to my brother. ”
"In that envelope, in addition to some land deeds, there are also some money bank deposits, and I have used all the silver. Even if I add what I have on hand, it's still not enough, I really can't come up with so much money, you can't let me sell Peacock Villa, or just let Xiaoyun plug the door upside down. ”
Qiu Yuzhen also reflected her helplessness as an older sister, the elders in the family were gone, and her younger siblings naturally wanted her sister to take care of her.
But she really can't take out that much silver now.
Lin Luoyao shook her head and said, "Sister, don't be so distressed, since I added all these things above, I can naturally do it." Then you just take this gift slip and hand it to Nangong Mansion, and I will pay for the rest. ”
What Lin Luoyao wrote above is a bit outrageous, a pair of purple tourmaline pixiu, a pair of golden unicorns, a night pearl, thirty diamonds, two opals, three pairs of jade bracelets, three pairs of jasper bracelets, and a pair of mutton fat white jade and Ping'an jade pendants.
After speaking, Lin Luoyao took out a stack of tickets from his body.
Lin Luoyao pushed in front of Qiu Yuzhen and said, "Sister Qiu, these silver should be enough." ”
