Chapter 4 The Dowry
Maybe the old doctor's medicine is really good, after a day's rest, Mu Xi can get up and walk around the yard.It's just that this body is bloated and heavy, and often panting like a cow without taking a few steps, which is really too disgusting.

Mu Xi supported Nanny Feng's arm, and slowly turned around in the Hou's mansion.An Lehou has been hereditary for four generations, and it has been passed down to her father's generation, which has obviously declined.The mansion is quite big, but many places have been neglected and many places have been abandoned.Mu Xi shook her head secretly, if this place could be given her a year to repair, it would be much better than it is now.

On the way, he saw her stepmother, Mrs. Pan, and her direct sister, Mu Qingsi. The expressions on the faces of the two were extremely rich, as if one was loving and as if she was her own mother, and the other sister had never reached out to push her into the river. Everything was just an unbelievable dream she had.

Although Mu Xi didn't know the original Mu Qingxi's character, but from what she saw in the dream and the conversation with her people, she knew that Mu Qingxi should have been just a straightforward and heartless girl.

She sneered in her heart, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, who is playing tricks on whom?
A bunch of smiles squeezed out of her face, and Yuanyuan's face was filled with sincere smiles.

"Xi'er has kept the concern of her mother and sister these days in her heart. If there is a chance in the future, she will definitely repay her mother and sister."

There was a trace of hesitation in Mu Qingsi's eyes looking at her, he hesitated to speak, just about to speak, but was held back by Mrs. Pan.Mrs. Pan gave her a quick wink, then burst into a smile in an instant, took Mu Xi's hands and said with a smile: "Our young lady is very lucky, she will marry and live in the palace soon, and she will be happy in the future." I don't know when we'll see you again."

She wiped the corners of her eyes with silk on purpose, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady will go with me to see the dowry prepared for you. I heard that you forgot a lot of things after waking up. Go and see what else is wrong." If you are satisfied with it, I can quickly buy it for you."

After finishing speaking, he took Mu Xi and left.Mu Xi also let her go. Although she didn't care much about this marriage, she was really curious about the dowry.

Mother Feng followed her in silence and followed wherever they went.

Because Pan's status was not high before he was upright, but because he was young and beautiful back then, and there were no concubines in the whole Hou's mansion, he was upright as a matter of course.Although Lord Hou has taken in a few more concubines over the years, after all he is getting older, and his hobbies are not women's sex but alchemy pills, so she is the only one who has the final say on the entire Hou Mansion.

It's just that although Mu Qingxi's mother has passed away for many years, the residual prestige is still there, not to mention that Nanny Feng is a powerful person, and she can't get cheap things out of her mouth, so over the years, for this pair of girls who were not her own, No matter what he thought in his heart, he didn't dare to do too much in face.

Mrs. Pan led Mu Xi to walk ahead, Mu Qingsi followed in the middle with a complicated expression on her face, and Mother Feng walked at the end with a sullen face.Turning around a gravel path, boarding a small bridge, and passing through a corridor of flower halls, several people came to a warehouse in front of them.

Mrs. Pan took out a bunch of keys from her waist, opened the lock familiarly, and walked in first.Mu Xi took a look around. This warehouse is not very big, and it is only about [-] square meters by visual inspection. There are more than [-] wooden boxes with red lacquer densely stacked against the corner, and there are many boxes wrapped in red brocade around it. furniture utensils.

Mrs. Pan stepped forward and opened the wooden boxes one by one, so that Mu Xi could see the contents clearly.Mu Xi opened his eyes wide and looked around one by one, and saw that each box contained different things, including a whole box of gold heads, a whole box of pearl and emerald jewelry of various colors, several boxes of exquisitely crafted Four Seasons clothes, several boxes of The antique calligraphy and painting plus a few boxes of rouge gouache and various utensils.In the last box was a dense stack of account books.Mrs. Pan said with a smile: "This is a few land property shops left by your father, and there are 3 taels of bank notes. These are the deeds and account books. You have to collect them." She pointed around again. The furniture wrapped in red satin said:
"These screens, dressing tables, tables and chairs, spring stools, etc. are all added to your new house, so don't dislike them."

Even though Mu Xi's family was not poor in his previous life, he had never seen so many gold and silver objects, and was dazzled for a moment.She glanced at Mu Qingsi beside her, but found that Mu Qingsi was looking at these, although the expression on her face was still smiling, but the handkerchief in her hand had already been twisted into a rope by her, and the jealousy and resentment in her eyes were even more serious. I can't hide it.

Looking at Nanny Feng again, the corners of Nanny Feng's lips curled slightly, her eyes looked contemptuous, and she looked very disdainful towards these things.Mu Xi was secretly suspicious, but she heard Mrs. Pan say again: "Miss also knows that our family has become more and more declining over the years, and the Marquis loves you so much that he almost evacuated the Marquis' mansion to make up for the dowry." " She pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, "After the young lady marries into the Yanyang Mansion, she must remember her family more."

Mu Xi's face was full of smiles, and her cheeks were sour: "Father and mother are kind to Xi'er, Xi'er fully understands that Xi'er will definitely respect father and mother in the future." She turned her head pretendingly, with a look of displeasure He took Mu Qingsi's hands in relief: "What's wrong with my sister, her face is so ugly? Is she feeling unwell?"

Mu Qingsi concealed the hatred in her eyes, pulled her hands back without showing any traces, intentionally not to look at Pan's stern look, and said with a forced smile: "I have a headache when I got up early, and I may be a little tired after walking for a long time."

Mu Xi smiled lightly and said, "Sis sister is tired, let's go back to rest earlier." She turned to Nanny Feng and said, "Mommy, it's getting late, let's go back too."

Mother Feng nodded slightly: "Yes."

After politely thanking Mrs. Pan, Mu Xi took her leave, and walked away slowly holding Nanny Feng's arm.Mu Qingsi looked at their backs, with a moment of hesitation and unwillingness on her face, she was speechless for a while.

Pan Shi looked at her and sneered slightly: "I really can't think of it, you and her were born in the same mother's womb, what kind of hatred can make you do this?"

Mu Qingsi's delicate body shook slightly, and a flash of determination flashed across her delicate face.

"She and I are indeed born of the same mother," Mu Qingsi's voice was a little cold, "but I don't understand why my father always gives her the best when I am better than her in everything. My father looked at Don't ask about world affairs, but if you look at these dowries, which one is not saved by her father for her over the years?"

A look of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Even Aunt Feng has become more and more indifferent to me in the past two years. Am I not mother's daughter?"

Pan's lips curled up and sneered: "So over the years, you have targeted her more and more in everything, because of this? Do you even hesitate to kill her?"

Mu Qingsi said coldly: "Perhaps you can say that I have lost my conscience, but I will never regret what I have done. What qualifications does she, Mu Qingxi, have to stand shoulder to shoulder with me? She is not as good as me in appearance, not as good in figure, not as smart and knowledgeable as me , but she got so much..." Her eyes gradually showed sadness: "In a few days, she will be married, and even he will be hers."

Pan's expression was a bit complicated, and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he remembered the magnificent mistress back then. When she was alive, the concubines in the whole Hou's mansion were almost used as decorations. into other people's yards.He gave away and sold concubines full of concubines in the yard, and in the end only he was lucky enough to be kept because of his good flattery.

It's just that she didn't expect that such a beautiful woman died so early, and the two daughters she left behind would look like this again.One is fat and dull, and the other is ruthless. I really don't know whether to embarrass my wrist or express gloating.

 Friends!Happy Children's Day wow. . .
