Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

The dowry is very generous, including food, clothing and utensils. The dowry list was also written in great detail, everything from fields, shops, boxes of money, and furniture to small things like earrings, toilets, and mouthwash basins were all clearly listed.

These dowries are not only beautiful to look at, but also very practical. Four hundred acres of land on the outskirts of the capital plus a village, a small shop in the capital, and a set of rosewood furniture should add up to more than five thousand taels of silver. In addition to cloth, clothes, leather, medicinal materials, books, gold and jade ornaments, etc., there are more than 3,000 taels of silver, plus a thousand taels of silver for pressing boxes, there are about ten thousand taels of silver.

She is just a fake legitimate daughter. It is not easy for Jiang to spend so much money from his father's family to buy a dowry for her and prepare it very carefully. She could conclude that Chen Yuhui and Chen Yuxia, the two concubines, would not receive even half of her own dowries.

This is not only because Chen Shiying values ​​her particularly, but also because she is marrying into the Chu family and Jiang is willing to befriend her.

In addition, she was accompanied by four girls and two people.

The Ding family of Yifang had already gone to the capital to take charge of the 400 acres of farmland and Zhuangzi there, where their family would live from now on.

In the other room, there is a family named Li. The man, Uncle Li, is in his forties. He used to work in the accounting room of Chen Mansion. The daughter-in-law is called Grandma Li. She used to be the steward of Chen Mansion's sewing room. She was specially appointed as the steward of Chen Afu. His son Li Mu, his wife Li Mu’s family, and two grandsons aged six and two.

Four girls, including Qing Feng, who had come to serve her when she came to Chen Mansion.

Grandma Jiang, the steward of the main courtyard, led the people to the Rose Garden to kowtow to Chen Afu.

Chen Afu paid special attention to Grandma Li, who was in her forties, moderately fat and thin, and spoke cleanly. Chen Afu has a good impression of her, and if she is used well, she should be his good assistant. She still trusts Jiang. Since she has done so much to save her face, she will not send a fool or a spy to be her steward.

Aunt Jiang also specifically explained that neither Aunt Li nor her family was born in the same family. This family is affiliated with Chen Afu and has nothing to do with the Chen family.

Except for Qingfeng, the four girls were born into the family, and the other three girls were bought a few months ago and have just been trained. They are all thirteen years old, and their names are Xiaohong, Xiaolu, and Xiaozi.

Grandma Jiang said that the reason why they had such simple names was because she thought that Chen Afu would give them another name.

After these people got up, Xia Yue gave each of them a purse containing six silver coins.

Then, Nanny Jiang took out the key from her waist and led Chen Afu to see the dowry.

Except for the furniture that has been shipped to the capital, the rest of the dowry is placed in the wing room of Qiangweiyuan.

The door opened, and a room full of boxes was filled. Aunt Jiang opened the box again. The items inside were dazzling, and the fabrics and decorations were of good quality. One of the small boxes contains a neat pile of silver ingots, which is a thousand taels of silver.

Chen Afu expressed his gratitude to Aunt Jiang, and Xia Yue handed her a purse containing two silver ingots.

Aunt Jiang took the purse with a smile and handed the key to Chen Afu. Chen Afu took it and gave it to Xia Yue for safekeeping. From now on, Xia Yue will be her number one girl.

Except for leaving the three little girls behind, Chen Afu asked everyone else to go home and prepare for taking a boat to the capital tomorrow morning. Grandma Li's son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons were not allowed to go to the capital. They also had to return to Dingzhou. There was no need for the two children to go back and forth. Instead, let Li Mu's family go to the General's Mansion to find Manager Yang, who will arrange their accommodation and errands.

Grandma Li and her family kowtowed to Chen Afu again.

Chen Afu had just rested for two quarters of an hour when he heard laughter coming from the yard. It was sisters Chen Yuqing and Chen Yuxia who had arrived.

The two little girls were so happy that their faces were flushed, especially Chen Yuxia, who had not been to the capital yet. They came to add makeup to Chen Afu. Chen Yuqing gave her a red gold hairpin inlaid with beads, and Chen Yuxia gave her two silk handkerchiefs that she embroidered herself.

Just after they left, another guest arrived, Chen Yuhui. Because he was too thin, his cheekbones appeared higher, his nose was narrower, and he couldn't hide the ferocity in his eyes.

Chen Afu was not even polite to her, and said, You're not here to add makeup to me, are you? Don't say anything unpleasant. It won't affect my good mood.

Chen Yuhui sneered and said sternly, Of course I won't add makeup to you, because you are not worthy at all. You stole the husband my grandmother had chosen for me, and then instigated my father to find me a rich country man. Bitch, You are so bad!

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand suddenly grabbed Chen Afu's face.

Chen Afu had been guarding her. He ducked his head back and reached out to grab her wrist. Her nails were long and sharpened, which was obviously meant to disfigure her face.

Chen Afu was furious, stretched out his other hand and slapped her twice, and then pushed her to the ground with all his strength. He cursed, I am from the country, so I have a lot of strength, but you still dare to ruin my appearance! Let me tell you again, you are so ugly, my fiancée will not want you even if he never marries a wife. , stop daydreaming. Then he said to Xiaohong, Look at how sharp Miss Chen Er's nails are, go and report to Madam, let Madam know how sinister the intentions of Miss Chen Er are.

Chen Yuhui's face was swollen from the beating. She was hurt, ashamed and angry. She got up and ran away crying. Xiaohong also went to the main courtyard to report to Jiang what the second girl had done.

In the evening, the three sisters Chen Afu went to the main courtyard for dinner again, but Chen Shiying and Chen Yulan did not come. Because Chu Lingxuan came, they accompanied Chu Lingxuan to eat in the outer courtyard.

Chu Lingxuan will not return to the capital in a few days.

When Chen Shiying returned to the main courtyard, the Chen sisters had already left. After learning what Chen Yuhui had done, he was so angry that he shook his head. He told Mr. Jiang, After Fu'er's marriage is done, Hui'er's marriage will be decided. It's best to marry her off by the end of this year.

Jiang sneered, She said we found her a rich man from the countryside.

Chen Shiying said, Madam, please don't be angry. She was spoiled by her mother. When she gets older, she will know that we are doing this for her own good.

Afterwards, Chen Shiying went to Qiangweiyuan and talked to Chen Afu for a while, asking her not to worry about her sister and to be a happy newlywed.

There was no words all night, and at dawn the next day, the main door of Chen's mansion opened wide, and a dozen carriages ran out, protected by more than twenty guards, and headed straight for the canal dock outside the city.

The ship arrived at Tong County at midnight, and they went to the inn again. Someone had already come here to rent a yard and prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Jiang led several children to eat, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

After breakfast the next day, the family got on the carriage again and entered the capital at noon.

Upload it first, then correct it.
