The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 252
Thinking of this, Mother Jia couldn't sit still immediately, and quickly called Yuanyang to her side under the surprised eyes of everyone in the room, and whispered, "Go to the front yard to find Lin Zhixiao, and tell him to put on makeup later." , Add ten thousand taels of silver, three shops, and two farms outside the city to the list."

Seeing the anxious expression on Jia Mu's face, Yuan Duck didn't dare to be negligent, and ran quickly to the front yard. Fortunately, when she arrived, Lin Zhixiao began to send people to bring out Tan Chun's dowry.Since there are many furniture taken out of the old warehouse, there are quite a lot of things to look at.

But the people at the scene were all from extraordinary backgrounds, so who would pay attention to these things? What they cared about was how many real things the Jia family gave to the married woman.Fortunately, not long after all the things were brought out, some ceremonial officials began to read, ignoring those vain ones, there were [-] taels of silver at the bottom of the box, five shops in the capital, and four farms.

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, and felt that the Jia family was quite kind, and all these things were worth [-] taels of silver, which was already a lot for a concubine.Don't talk about other people's thoughts, but say that Jia Zheng is a little bored at this moment, the money and the like, but he wrote it himself, why is it wrong?It was Lin Zhixiao who noticed his anomaly, quietly came behind him, and reminded in a low voice, "Second Master, the extra thing was just added by the old lady." Jia Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately Nodding his head, he wasn't really stupid, and immediately understood the reason why his mother did this.

At the same time, the ceremonial officer has begun to read the makeup of the female relatives of each family, because it starts from the status and closeness of the relationship, so Daiyu's name naturally appears first, "Dongping County Wang Shizifei" Lin's, ten thousand taels of silver, one Dendrobium of the best Dongzhu, two boxes of various head and face jewelry, one book store, one silk and satin shop, and two thousand mu of high-quality fertile land in the outskirts of the city."

"Tsk tsk, as expected of Dongping Prince's Mansion, you are generous in your actions. Adding these things together, it is no worse than the dowry given by Jia's Mansion."

"It's more than that. When the concubine of the big family first got married, the princess of Dongping Wang who was not married at that time also added so much."

... All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone didn't even bother to listen to what the people behind added.And the scene in the back house at this moment is not too bad, because the servants of Jia's mansion passed on the word like a relay, so the female family members of Rongqing Hall can also know the situation ahead. The eyeballs of the female relatives were all red, and they cast all kinds of envious and jealous eyes on Tanchun.

Tanchun behaved gracefully, without any superfluous expression on her face, but when she heard that Yingchun had added five thousand taels of silver and two shops to her, she frowned slightly, and she was a little unhappy to the side Yingchun complained, "Second sister, what are you doing, you and sister Lin have added so much dowry to me, when you get married, I can..."

Yingchun interrupted Tanchun's words, "Okay, you are a younger sister, and you should take care of you as an older sister. Don't say that you didn't add much to us, and you didn't go out. Where did you get the money?" See If she wanted to add more, she joked, "If you don't want to feel sorry, you can add it back when your nephews and nieces grow up and get married."

Hearing what Yingchun said, Tanchun could only take back the rest of the words, and secretly told himself that he must not forget the kindness of the sisters.

After adding makeup, the Jia family began to entertain today's guests. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zijuan was free to come to the Sanchun sisters. After saluting them, she didn't care about Yingchun and Xichun being there, so she said to Tanchun , "Miss San, our girl asked me to apologize to you. Not only can she not come today, but it is also inconvenient for her to come when you get married. I hope you can understand her difficulties."

Tanchun replied with a wry smile, "Sister Lin is too careless. I know her difficulties. Speaking of it, she shouldn't be the one who confessed to me. Instead, it's me, Brother Bao's younger sister, who should apologize to her." Yes. You go back and tell her so that she doesn't have to feel guilty about it, and it's not like we won't be able to see each other in the future. Also, thank her for me, just say that she cares for me, sister, I will never forget it. "

Zijuan returned to Dongping Palace, and immediately went to see Daiyu, and told her what Yingchun had said.After hearing this, Daiyu shook her head slightly and said, "Third sister is too polite. What do I want her gratitude for? As long as she can escape from the back house of Rong Mansion, she will be thankful." After finishing speaking, she asked Jia's mansion again How much dowry was given to Tanchun.

After Zijuan finished speaking carefully, seeing Daiyu's surprised expression, she said to Daiyu, "Girl, you didn't go today, so I'm afraid you don't know the details. The third girl's dowry didn't have so much in the first place. It was the old lady who found out that Feng's The dowry gift was too thick, and I was afraid of losing face, so I added some more as a last resort."

"How do you know so clearly?"

Zijuan replied with a smile, "Yuanyang told me about it herself, so she was the one who did it."

Before Daiyu could react to Zijuan's words, Xueyan interjected, "The old lady must feel sorry for her now. She wanted to leave those things to Baoyu. I don't want to bleed out for the third girl today."

"Don't talk strange things. Grandma's private house is rich. How can such a small thing make her feel bad." Daiyu said it as a matter of course, and the reason why she said this was based on the amount of her mother Jia Min's dowry.After all, when Daiyu wanted to come, her mother's dowry was no less than [-] taels of silver, and that didn't even count the fertile farmland.By analogy, as the old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion, my grandmother must have more private houses.

It was not wrong for Daiyu to think this way, but she ignored two points.First, when Jia Min married Lin Ruhai, the situation in the Rongguo Mansion was very different from what it is now. At that time, Jia Daishan was still alive, and Jia's family was in full swing in Beijing. In addition, Jia Min was Jia Daishan's old daughter, and she always regarded her as an old woman. For the apple of the eye.

Therefore, when Jia Min got married, apart from the dowry from the prostitute's daughter from the public treasury of the Rongguo Mansion, the father Jia Daishan almost emptied his private treasury and gave it all to his youngest daughter as a dowry.With his father as an example, the brothers Jia She and She gritted their teeth and added a lot of things no matter how reluctant they were in their hearts. This is why Jia Min's dowry was far richer than others.

At the same time, this is also the biggest reason why Mrs. Wang has always had opinions on Jia Min, because in Mrs. Wang's opinion, Jia Daishan loves Jia Zheng far more than Jia Amnesty, and after a hundred years, all things will naturally be passed on to their second wife.But who would have thought that Jia Daishan didn't play the cards according to the routine, and passed everything to his daughter instead of his son. How could this make the very greedy Jia Wang reconciled?
Second, Daiyu did not count the pig teammates around Jiamu.Take Jia Yuanchun as an example, she spent many years in the palace, in order to be able to climb the branches, she spent a lot of money to manage the palace servants, and the money was not only paid by Mrs. Wang, but also a considerable part by Jia Mu.Then there was the time when Jia Amnesty had to split the family. Mother Jia helped the second room fill in the hole, and not long ago, Mother Jia bought property for Jia Zheng's family.

After these several times of tossing, no matter how rich Jia Mu's private treasury was, it has shrunk by a large part.So Xueyan was right this time, in order not to lose face, Jia's mother knocked down her front teeth and swallowed. You know her original plan was to leave all her private houses to Jia Baoyu.Today's show is no less than cutting flesh and bloodletting for Jiamu.
