The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 158
Xue Pan came out of the Qin Tianjian and didn't stay outside. He immediately went home non-stop, found Aunt Xue who was counting the dowry, and told her the day he greeted her.

After hearing this, Aunt Xue felt that the first day of June was too close. After all, it was already the nineteenth day of May, and there were only about ten days left after all the work.

But she still accepted this date, because she was also afraid in her heart, if Zijuan's words came to fruition, wouldn't it mean that her daughter would have to stay at home for another year?The mother and son discussed for a while, and finally made a decision. Tomorrow, someone will be sent to inform Dongping Palace first, and Xue Pan will send the dowry the day after tomorrow.Then Aunt Xue left Xue Pan to continue counting the dowry, while she went to inform Baochai.

Xue Baochai felt a little nervous when she learned that she was going to marry, but she was more concerned about her dowry, so she asked, "Mom, how much do I have prepared for my dowry?"

"Don't worry, Mom has prepared the same one hundred and eight carry as Lin girl."

Hearing the answer in her mouth, Xue Baochai said in her heart that it was so, and quickly refused, "Mom, let me tell you what is good about you, you have forgotten my identity, if I am the same as the dowry prepared by the concubine, what do you think?" Even if Sister Lin doesn't care what others think of me, outsiders may not."

Aunt Xue was shocked when she heard the words. In fact, she probably loved her daughter, and she didn't want her daughter to be compared to Daiyu.She has also been the wife of the main house for many years, so she doesn't know the truth. If a concubine enters the door of their Xue family and dares to bring more dowry than her, she must show the concubine a good look and let him know what It's called rules.

Xue Baochai looked at her expression, and persuaded again, "I didn't want to get away with Sister Lin, and I heard from Girl Yun that Sister Lin's dowry was [-] liters on the surface, but inside it was only the silver at the bottom of the box. There are also various land and pavements, and the total number is probably no less than a million!"

"She didn't exaggerate?" Aunt Xue was dumbfounded. You must know that even if the Xue family took out such a large sum of money at one time, it would still hurt.

Xue Baochai carefully calculated the accounts for her, "I think it might be too few. Think about it, the Lin family is also from the fourth generation of nobles, and the number of people has been thin for several generations. Now there is only sister Lin left. The dowries of the previous mistresses add up to more than that, and Master Lin will definitely add more, so her total dowry is probably much more than what Yun girl said!"

She continued with a wry smile, "If I really want to compare with Sister Lin, our family will have to fill in more wealth, and my brother will not be able to live in the future?"

After hearing her explanation, Aunt Xue also stopped thinking about competing with Daiyu. The mother and daughter discussed it calmly, and finally decided on a dowry of eighty-one.

On the third day, Xue Pan, dressed in auspicious clothes, brought Baochai's dowry to the Dongping Palace with a band of musicians. On the other side of the Dongping Palace, the housekeepers Wu Lai and the nuns sent by Daiyu Mama took the dowry in person, counted it, and transported it to Qingzhiyuan next door to Mu Xu and his wife.

And Mu Xu also went out in person, received Xue Pan, invited him to have a drink at home, and then sent someone to send the slightly drunk Xue Pan back to Xue's house.

After Xue Pan left, Mu Xu went back to the backyard, but instead of entering her main courtyard, she went to Yinglian's.Seeing his sudden arrival, Ying Lian, who was talking to her mother, was very surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to receive Xue's family today? Why did you come here?"

Mu Xu bowed to Zhen Fengshi first, and then said, "The members of the Xue family have already left. I came to you because I have something for you."

Then, under the surprised eyes of Yinglian's mother and daughter, she took out a stack of things from her arms, "Here are two hundred thousand taels of silver bills, and the land deeds of five shops in the capital and two farms outside the city." He stuffed all the things into Yinglian's hands, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he remembered something again, and then said,

"That Jiayu village has been dismissed and investigated for corruption and breaking the law. It will be executed tomorrow. If you want to visit, please order someone to inform me, and I will send someone to escort you there."

After Mu Xu left for a while, Yinglian picked up the things in her hand in a daze, looked at her mother, and asked, "Mother, what does the son mean?"

Zhen Fengshi shook his head with a smile, "You silly girl, don't you even understand this? He gave you these things to make you a dowry."

Yinglian was puzzled, "But I live and board in the mansion, what do I need for the dowry? No, I have to return it to the prince." As she said that, she was about to chase Mu Xu, but Zhen Feng hurriedly pulled her away. Holding her, seeing her daughter's ignorant look, she hated the trafficker who abducted her daughter even more in her heart, so that her daughter was so old, but her personality was still so innocent.

She pulled Yinglian aside and sat down, and then she explained to him carefully, "Because the Xue family sent a dowry today, your son was afraid that you would be sad, so he prepared these for you. You must not let him down. Be careful."

"I'm not sad. My daughter is very happy to find her mother. I don't dare to expect anything. Besides, the son treats me very well. I am very satisfied with my current life."

After hearing Yinglian's sincere words, Zhen Fengshi hugged her tightly, and burst into tears again, Yinglian didn't know why, so she also cried together.

After a while, the mother and daughter stopped their tears. Zhen Feng held Yinglian's hand and said with a smile, "Since these things are given to you, you can keep them well. Even if you don't use them yourself, you can keep them in the future." To my grandson or granddaughter."

"Mother, why are you talking so well?" How did Yinglian hear this, she immediately turned her head away at Xiafei's temples, but she still listened to what her mother said, and didn't say that she would return the things to Mu Xu's words.

When Mu Xu came out from Yinglian, and just arrived at the Moon Gate, he met Daiyu's master and servant who came back from Qingzhiyuan. Daiyu sent Zijuan and Xueyan to go first. Thinking of the direction Mu Xu came from, she casually asked , "Go to Yinglian's place?"

Mu Xu knew Daiyu's temperament, so he didn't hide anything, and told what he had just done.After hearing this, Daiyu really didn't get angry, and said, "You did the right thing. Later, I will give Yinglian two shops as well, just to add makeup to her."

Although he guessed that she wouldn't care, but he didn't expect her to be so understanding, Mu Xu still sighed, "I am so lucky to be able to marry Yu'er!"

Daiyu slapped him with a smile, and spat, "You know how to coax me with good words."

Mu Xu didn't argue, and gently grabbed her hand. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, and went back to the room hand in hand.

It was almost dusk on the first day of June, and Xue Baochai had already put on her wedding dress and finished dressing up.Thinking of her daughter just entering someone else's house without even a welcoming team, Aunt Xue felt very sad. She choked up and said, "My son, you have been wronged."

Xue Baochai was actually very regretful in her heart that she couldn't marry as a good lady, but she still smiled and comforted her mother, "Mom, don't be sad, today is my daughter's big day, you should be happy."

The more reasonable the daughter was, the sadder Aunt Xue was, and she wanted to continue to say something, but Xue Pan walked in at this moment and said to the two, "Mom, sister, the sedan chair is ready, it's time to go."

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai got up and knelt down to Aunt Xue, "Mom, my daughter is not filial and will not be by your side in the future. You have to take care of yourself."

"Okay, get up quickly, my son, I will take good care of myself as a mother, but when you go to someone else's house, you must abide by women's morals, respect your elders, and teach your husband and children." Aunt Xue lifted Baochai up with tears in her eyes, and taught her earnestly.

Xue Baochai nodded with red eyes, then looked at Xue Pan again, and confessed, "Brother, you have to listen to your mother well, drink less alcohol in the future, and don't be reckless when things happen."

Xue Pan was also emotional. He sniffed and waved his hands pretending to be relaxed, "Sister, you can go anyway, don't worry about the family. Besides, our two families are not far away, so my brother will visit you when he is free. "

"Okay, I'll wait for my brother to come." Baochai replied with a smile.

The family was still saying their farewells, when a little girl ran in and replied, "Ma'am, the palace sent someone here and brought eight sedan chairs with them."

"What, tell me clearly, how many sedan chairs are there?"

After confirming from the girl that the sedan chair was carried by eight people, Aunt Xue smiled and said to Baochai, "It seems that my uncle still values ​​my son very much, so he sent all the sedan chairs for the concubine."

Xue Baochai smiled shyly, feeling like eating honey.Xue Pan who was on the side didn't care about these things, he urged, "Okay, if we continue, we will miss the auspicious time."

Aunt Xue didn't bother to argue with her son, she helped Baochai cover her red hijab, and then watched Xue Pan carry her out of the house.
