Chapter 3 The Dowry
Li Juren raised his noble attitude as a scholar, raised his hands and said, "I, Li Jinliang, have met Madam. Thanks to Madam's concern, everything is fine with me."

Jiang Fuyue looked at him and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite when you choose someone."

At the right moment, Guyu walked up to Li Juren holding the gift list and said, "Li Juren, this is the list prepared by the old lady in the mansion. I would like to ask Li Juren to take a look at it."

The book was very fancy, with gorgeous and complicated patterns embroidered with gold thread on the cover, and it was spread out on gold-sprinkled paper. It was so luxurious that once Li Juren's eyes were glued to it, he couldn't take it away.

He couldn't wait to take the book from Gu Yu's hand and read it.

The more I watched, the more shocked I became.

"Xiuyu Incense Burner!"

"Ashwood Taihu Stone Ornament!"

"Emerald Pixiu!"

……

"After the rain, the sky becomes green tea set!"

Li Juren's voice became louder and louder, and when he finally heard it, the people watching outside were in an uproar.

"Oh my god! Forget the ones at the front, a whole set of tea sets that are azure after rain?! This must cost a few hundred taels of silver!"

"The Hou Mansion is really generous! It's surprising that a person is willing to spend such a huge sum of money!"

"Yes! If I had known that the Hou Mansion was so willing to spend money, I would have gone too! I am still a tribute scholar! If I had gone, what would be the matter with this mere promotion of people?"

"That's right! That's right!"

Li Juren closed the book and looked outside, seeing the envious or regretful expressions of the onlookers, and the smile on his face became brighter.

He coughed and was about to ask someone to open the boxes so that the group of spectators outside could see the excitement, but was interrupted by Gu Yu's sudden voice.

"Madam, this is wrong! There are no emerald Pixiu and rain-stained azure tea sets in the warehouse of the Hou Mansion! Aren't these... the things in your dowry?!"

Guyu Jiao shouted with all her strength, covering up all the sounds inside and outside the house. Everyone who had been sighing at the wealth of the Marquis now looked shocked. Li Juren froze in the middle of opening his mouth. .

"Madam, what Guyu said is right," Jingzhe also said quickly, "I remember clearly that these things are indeed included in your dowry!"

As soon as Guyu finished speaking, even the servants in the Hou Mansion began to look at each other, and the discussion outside became louder than before.

"Is this Marquis Mansion going to collapse or something? Why are you still using your daughter-in-law's dowry? Ordinary people don't have anything like this in their homes!"

"But this prince spends a lot of money on entertainment every day, and he doesn't look like his family is in decline, right?"

"Hey, ordinary people like us can't understand the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, but we never expected that the Marquis' Mansion would be so worthless and use his wife's dowry to give away!"

"That can't be said. Maybe Li Juren took the initiative to ask for it. If a military general in the Hou family can get any elegant objects, he must get them from this young lady's dowry!"

"Well, it makes sense..."

Seeing that the fire was about to burn him, Li Juren was so angry that he threw the booklet in his hand to the ground, "Nonsense! I didn't say that I would ask the Hou Mansion to prepare a gift! The Hou Mansion made its own decision, what does it have to do with me?! "

As soon as these words came out, Li Juren suddenly realized that something was wrong, and said quickly: "Madam, I am not blaming the Hou Mansion, but it was just a momentary slip of the tongue. I hope Madam will not take it to heart. I accept this intention. As for the etiquette... I still have it. Madam, please take it back!"

When he said this, Li Juren felt that his heart was bleeding, and he couldn't help but start to secretly complain about the old lady in his heart.

At the beginning, the old lady promised to give him enough face, but who would have thought that the old lady of a dignified prince's house would give him a gift and also take it from her daughter-in-law's dowry?Okay, now, how can he accept it in front of so many people?

Seeing Li Juren's firm attitude, Jiang Fuyue had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Then... after I go back today, I will discuss with my mother-in-law to open the warehouse and let Juren choose on his own as an apology."

Hearing this, Li Ju's face lit up with joy, and his tone became more sincere: "Then thank you, madam!"

This lady is still generous and considerate!

The warehouse of the Hou Mansion!There must be a lot of good stuff there!

"The chariot is ready, let's invite the people." Jiang Fuyue said with a faint smile.

"Yes, yes, please come first, madam, please come first, madam!"

At this time, many people gathered outside the inn door to watch the excitement. Jiang Fuyue glanced at them and then held Gu Yu's hand back to the carriage.

The gongs and drums sounded, the carriage set off, and they returned to the Hou Mansion in a lively manner.

On the terrace of the restaurant opposite the street of the inn, the man in Xuanyi looked back from the carriage Jiang Fuyue was riding, with a hint of joking in his tone: "This is what you said, he has devoted all his energy to the Hou Mansion since he married into it. , Mrs. Anyuanhou, who didn’t complain at all even if she wasn’t treated well by her husband’s family?”

The man in Xuanyi stands as tall as a orchid orchid tree. He looks to be in his early twenties. He is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament.

"Yes," the man in a sapphire blue tunic boldly threw a fruit into his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Shen Chuan smiled and shook his head, "He is an interesting person."

Seeing Shen Chuan turn around and leave, Xie Ziqi hurriedly followed up: "You, a famous person in front of His Majesty, finally got some free time, so you came here to join in the fun? Hey, wait a minute -"

-

Anyuanhou Mansion.

Mother Liu personally stood guard at the door. When she saw Li Juren coming, she hurriedly greeted him with a smile on her face: "Li Juren, you have worked hard all the way. The house has prepared a yard for you. Come over and have a rest!"

Li Juren knew that Liu's mother belonged to the old lady. He waved his sleeves angrily and walked into the Hou Mansion.

Although Liu's mother didn't know what happened, she didn't dare to neglect him and quickly went over to lead the way with a smile on her face.

Gu Yu looked at Mother Liu's retreating figure and snorted dissatisfiedly: "This old lady is really interesting. She gives gifts to others in the name of the Marquis' Mansion. The ones she gives out are all rough-made things. I got them from your dowry, madam." But they are all first-class good things, but it turns out that Mother Liu seems to know nothing and dares to ignore us!"

The Xiu jade incense burner and the ash willow and Taihu stone ornaments were all bought by the old lady when she had just arrived in Beijing and her aesthetics had not yet caught up. The finished products were very rough and had been gathering dust in the warehouse for several years. Now, He actually had the nerve to take it out and give it away!

Jingzhe glanced at her helplessly: "You, you haven't even returned to our own yard yet, and you can't keep your mouth shut!"

Gu Yu snorted again and turned his head to the side angrily.

"But madam, once this matter breaks out, I'm afraid the old lady won't let it go..." Jingzhe was a little worried.

"They still want to make trouble!" Gu Yu was very angry, "They were the ones who were at fault in the first place. Do they still have the nerve to pursue our faults?!"

Although Gu Yu couldn't control his mouth, he controlled his voice very well. Only the master and servant could hear it.

Jiang Fuyue said nothing and walked straight into the house.

The two men in the restaurant opposite just now, one was the young master of Duke Jin's mansion, and the other... she only thought they looked familiar and had no impression of them.
