As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 129 The dowry gadget

"Of course I understand." Yu said, "It's just that you should prepare these now."

Mrs. Dou was stunned for a moment, "Am I ready?"

"What if?" Mrs. Yu said with a faint smile: "Jiajia is my daughter. Naturally, I should prepare everything for my daughter. Now that I am marrying your daughter, don't you need to prepare these things for your life? "

"But -" Mrs. Dou said: "Jiajia went out at that time, and I also put on makeup!"

"Yes, you added makeup, two sets of cheap topaz bracelets worth a hundred taels of silver." Mrs. Yu's face turned ugly when she talked about this, "I have remembered it, and I will add it to Xingchen as well when it's over."

Thinking back to the beginning, when she saw this little makeup addition, Mrs. Yu was so confused.

They have been very kind to the second wife all these years. They have enriched their own pockets with so much stuff behind their backs, yet they are so stingy about giving them extra makeup. It would be better not to give them at all!

Dou was in disbelief: "You mean, you don't care about the rest?"

"No matter!" Mrs. Yu said coldly: "Of course you know your own daughter better than I, the mistress, what she likes to wear. Just prepare yourself."

Mrs. Dou gritted his teeth and said, "You are so stubborn - let's go to uncle to ask for an explanation."

"Okay." Mrs. Yu sneered and said, "Let's go over there. I just heard that he had just returned home from the morning and went to the study."

She was so neat that Mrs. Dou was stunned for a moment.

Despite the fact that Yu was always domineering and aggressive, Xie Wei looked henpecked.

But in fact, the two of them mostly quarreled behind closed doors. Mr. Yu rarely went directly to Mr. Dou in front of Xie Wei for trivial matters at home.

In the past, most of the time, Mr. Yu would give in.

You actually have to go to the study room to ask for an explanation today?

"Why are you still standing there?" Yu took a few steps and turned around and shouted, "Follow me and ask him to give you an explanation!"

Mrs. Dou gritted his teeth and followed him.

Over the years, Dafang has felt guilty towards his second wife, and Xie Wei has always been partial. Now that Xingchen's marriage is such a big deal, Xie Wei has to have some control over pretending to be stupid.

She had to ask Dafang to vomit something out!

……

The two of them took the servants below and went to Xie Wei's study.

Xie Weizheng and Xie Changan were talking about court affairs. Suddenly they heard that Mr. Yu and Mr. Dou had arrived. They immediately raised their thick eyebrows and subconsciously pressed their foreheads, "Did you say anything?"

The servant replied: "It's an important matter."

"Okay, then." Xie Wei said helplessly: "Lao Liu, you go out first, and invite your mother and second aunt in along the way."

"Yes."

Xie Changan bowed meekly and left.

When he saw Mrs. Dou and Mrs. Yu outside the door, he also bowed meekly: "Mother, second aunt, father, please come in and talk."

"Ah."

Yu nodded and entered the study.

Mrs. Dou also followed without saying a word.

In the study, Xie Wei was already smiling when the two of them entered, "Madam, brothers and sisters, why are you here together? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, uh, is there something wrong?"

"It's about the Xingchen dowry..." Mrs. Dou was afraid that Mrs. Yu would confuse right and wrong, so she immediately spoke as soon as she came in, "Sister-in-law's list is full of good-looking and useless things. You can't live by those things when you get married."

"I wanted to discuss it with my sister-in-law before preparing the dowry and clothes. Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law was unwilling. She said that I would give Xingchen as much makeup as I gave Jiajia."

"When Jiajia got married, I really didn't come up with anything good, but that was because I was short of money and I didn't have any good things."

"Sister-in-law and I are different. We have good things in our hands, so we won't take them out. We still remember the grudges from back then..."

"Furthermore, Jiajia is marrying the second person in the ranking list...Uncle, don't blame me for being direct. Speaking of which, it means marrying lowly, and the dowry is not so particular. But Xingchen is marrying a royal family, so you can't be careless about the dowry."

Mrs. Yu shouted in a low voice: "You said that I, Jiajia, am not as good as your daughter in marrying me? When you talk about dowry, you just mean dowry, and you are here to step on my daughter!"

Mrs. Dou flinched and quickly stepped away. When she turned to Xie Wei, she was already aggrieved and cowardly: "Uncle, look, I'm just talking, and I'm telling the truth. My sister-in-law is so angry!"

"Quickly advise my sister-in-law. If Xingchen marries Prince Liang, the dowry will be criticized by the royal family and outsiders will laugh at it if the dowry preparation is not decent."

Xie Wei looked at Mrs. Yu: "Madam, this... what do you say?"

"Here is the list, you can read it yourself." Mrs. Yu handed it directly to Xie Wei, "These things can bring honor to the Xie family, and they won't be criticized by the royal family."

"As for the dowry you mentioned, which family's daughter didn't get married by her mother? As an aunt, I prepared a dowry for my niece. Don't you think it's unlucky for my younger siblings?"

Dou froze.

Generally, it is only when the mother dies that the dowry is prepared by aunts and uncles.

"You are a mother." Mrs. Yu added, "Of course you know what your daughter likes to wear and use. It is best for you to prepare."

"But-" Dou gritted his teeth and tried to argue.

Mrs. Yu suddenly said coldly: "When you handed over the power of the house to me, you didn't even close the shortfall. With so much shortfall, even if you spent a lot of it lavishly, how could you still have some left?"

"I didn't expect you to come back, and now you're so worried about adding makeup to your daughter that you're not willing to take it out?"

Mrs. Dou's face turned blue and white in turns. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't. She could only look at Xie Wei.

"Ahem." Xie Wei closed the dowry list, "These things are very good, and there are two more items that were my wife's dowry back then. I think this dignity is enough. As for the dowry, my younger siblings will prepare it themselves. one time."

Dou gritted his teeth.

Why is the dossier a gadget?
There are so many types and patterns of gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry. How much do you need to put in to fill up the dowry?
Not to mention clothing, silk, gold and silver.

"But uncle -" Mr. Dou frowned and was about to say something else.

"It's settled!" Xie Wei coughed again, "Now that I'm busy with business, I have to go out. Madam, please do your best to deal with Xingchen's wedding. Thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, Xie Wei nodded towards both Yu and Dou, left the study, and disappeared in a flash.

Dou stomped his feet uncontrollably.

Yu threw up her sleeves and walked away: "Hurry up and prepare, lest your star arrives at Prince Liang's house and you can't survive."

Dou's head was so angry that he felt dizzy.

The news here quickly reached Xie Zhaozhao's ears.

Xie Zhaozhao held a golden needle and carefully inserted it into the Tongren's Tianjing acupoint. He said lightly: "Hongxiu, ask Lei Xing to bring a few people to carry some big rocks back tonight."

Hong Xiu was surprised: "What are you doing moving rocks?"

"Of course it is useful." Xie Zhaozhao pulled out the golden needle again, controlled the force, and inserted it again, "Be quiet, don't be discovered."
