The little wife of the general's family is cruel and flirtatious

Chapter 54 Dowry?

Seeing that she hadn't been warmly treated, Mother Chun felt bad, so she just sat there and didn't speak.

Bai Shi was not in a hurry, picked up the high-quality Biluochun, and savored it carefully.

Chu Qingyun saw that the other party didn't have any elders around, so she naturally didn't need to wait on her. Sitting beside her mother, Zhiqing brought a plate of refreshments. Chu Qingyun felt flustered and took a sip.

Sister Chun's face was getting darker and darker, but seeing that Bai Shi and Chu Qingyun had no intention of speaking, they forcibly held back their words.

After a long time, the Chun mother finally couldn't hold back anymore, she got up and handed the letter of engagement and gift list to Mrs. Bai: "Although the marriage was bestowed by the empress, we still have to go due to the etiquette. Najib's The dowry, Madam Bai, have a look at it first?"

Bai Shi glanced at the betrothal gift slip coldly, but didn't make a move. She only stretched out her hand when Steward Liu stepped forward to hand it to Bai Shi.

The corner of Chu Qingyun's mouth was raised into a smile. When the Nan family came, her mother looked much more energetic than usual. The money from the head of the house was really a bit bluffing.

Looking at the betrothal gift list lying in the bed, Bai's face softened a little. Chu's family is innocent, so naturally they don't want their Nan's betrothal gift, but in Dazhao, the betrothal gift represents face, how much the husband's family cares about this marriage, and even more so. It represents the status of the new daughter-in-law in the husband's family.

There are several large boxes of things in the hall, and they are still packed with high-quality golden nanmu, so it can't be wrong.

The hall is facing the gate of the courtyard, and there are lively streets and alleys outside. The people outside saw that boxes of boxes were sent to the Chu family today. It must be a good thing. Many people guarded the door, waiting for the Chu family to send rewards. .

Seeing that there were too many people at the door, Mrs. Bai didn't want to make too much publicity, so she waved her hand and said, "Steward Liu, let's order it into the warehouse."

Butler Liu opened the dowry gift list, and was about to open the box when his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't read out the words.

Chu Qingyun also noticed something was wrong: "Uncle Liu, there are no outsiders here, just speak up when you have something to say."

Uncle Liu glared at Aunt Chun with a dark face, and handed the betrothal gift to Chu Qingyun and Bai Shi.

Although Chu Qingyun has never been married before, she also knows that ordinary wealthy merchants, officials, and relatives of the royal family will not be less than 5000 taels of silver in gifts, and jade, silk, satin and enamel plates should not be less. A decent thing.

Employment cake?

Three sacrifices?

Sticker box?

Dou Mi?

ceramics?

So many messy things are not as valuable as this hairpin on her head.

If it's true that the family's conditions are not good, it's fine if they can't get it out, but what kind of family is this Nan's family, the richest man in Xijian, and it's no exaggeration than the imperial merchants in Zhongzhou City.

The dowry is indeed these things, it is no longer a question of whether or not to pay attention to her new daughter-in-law, it is clearly to humiliate her.

Chu Qingyun laughed angrily when she saw it: "Nurse Chun, didn't you take out the dowry gift for a servant from the Nan family to marry a daughter-in-law?"

"Miss Chu, don't talk nonsense, the words above are written by Madam herself."

Seeing that she didn't have any regrets, Chu Qingyun insisted on going her own way, and said coldly, "Uncle Liu, open the box. Today I will personally check out the bride price for the wife of the richest man in Xijian, Nan's family."

"You..." It's extremely embarrassing to have less dowry in Dazhao. She thought that Chu Qingyun would suffer from this dumbness, but she didn't expect that she would prepare to count it in front of so many people.

"What? I can't count my betrothal gifts?" Chu Qingyun raised her eyebrows, and the corner of her mouth twitched, with a bit of sarcasm: "Or is it that the mother is afraid of the inside, and the three animals are missing one head?"

Grandma Chun blushed and her neck was thick, and she couldn't say a word when Chu Qingyun yelled at her.

Uncle Liu looked at the people outside, worried that his daughter's reputation would be damaged, and asked Bai, "Ma'am, this..."

Mrs. Bai snorted coldly: "My Chu family's reputation is not earned by dowries. Butler Liu, if you hear Yun clearly, just open it."

Uncle Liu is a practicing family boy, he was angry, and he didn't bother to ask Aunt Wenchun for the key, so he broke the lock directly.

Poor-looking ceramics were exposed one by one, and some were broken.

Three animals are quite a lot, but this pig has been starved for a month, so why is it so skinny?

There are still two boxes that cannot be filled, so I just use paper pads.

Chu Qingyun didn't look at the ground at all, she just read the things on the dowry list calmly, and each dowry was laid out on the bright side.

It goes without saying whose face was hit.

At the end of Chu Qingyun's reading, she couldn't hold back and laughed out loud, "Nurse Chun, has something happened to the Nan family? My Chu family is not the kind of unreasonable person. If something really happened , Qingyun will not stand by and watch."

Chu Qingyun pretended to be sad, and looked at her mother, Bai Shi: "If the mother refuses, Qingyun can pay the monthly allowance by herself, after all, we will be a family in the future."

Even the servants of the Nan family who gave the bride price by themselves couldn't help laughing.

Since ancient times, there is no one who subsidizes the husband's family before entering the house. How hopeless is this husband's family?

"Shut up." Nurse Chun angrily reprimanded the boy.

The people outside the door didn't know the twists and turns inside, they just thought of it consciously when they applauded.

"The Chu family really has a good daughter."

"The Chu family is loyal, and the Nan family has cultivated eight life blessings, so they can marry a girl from the Chu family."

"I'm so reluctant. Who will decide for us in the future?"

……

The louder the discussion outside, the uglier Madam Chun's expression became, she hastily covered the box, bowed down and apologized disheveledly: "Miss Chu, the servants probably made a mistake, old lady, I will come back another day. "

Chu Qingyun threw the betrothal gift list into her arms: "Nurse, be careful, don't break it, and don't let the future husband's family misunderstand my Chu family."

After finishing speaking, Chu Qingyun glanced at Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, it's a good time to see off the guests. My mother is tired, so I'll take her back." Saying that, she helped her mother Bai and walked towards the backyard without looking back.

"Qingyun, tell your mother clearly that you don't want to marry, don't you?" Fearing that she would not tell the truth, Bai continued, "If you don't want to, mother will kneel at the gate of Zhengxuan Palace and beg the Queen Mother, and she will definitely not let you suffer this kind of marriage." Wronged."

Chu Qingyun paused in her footsteps. In ancient times, marriage was always the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Besides, this time the queen appointed the marriage. It would be very difficult for the Chu family in Zhongzhou to lose face of the queen.

But the mother is still willing to do it for her.

It would be a lie to say that she is not moved, Chu Qingyun pretended to be relaxed and smiled: Mother, don't worry, I am free to measure this matter, just keep an eye on that little monkey Qiu Chi, I heard that he skipped classes every day, Master Wei would Sue me now. "

"Who? Who's complaining? Old man Wei?" Chu Qiuchi jumped out of nowhere, with the marks of sleep on his face.

"Where did you read the sage books, old man Wei?" Chu Qingyun twisted Chu Qiuchi's ear, "Master Wei is the teacher of two generations of emperors, and now he is giving lectures to you brats, which is already considered cheap for you. Listen carefully."

"Oh, sister... sister, I know, my ear... my ears are useless."

Bai couldn't keep her mouth shut with a smile. Ever since the Chu family was in trouble, everyone has wounds that they can't close. Such a relaxed atmosphere is rare.

Chu Qingyun looked at Chu Qiuchi who looked like a little old man all day, and finally smiled today, and felt a lot more relaxed.

If he kept holding back like this, Chu Qiuchi would definitely have something on his mind.
