Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

Although something happened to the Rongguo Mansion, it was not a big deal. It was just a loss of people and officials.

But after all, it was the parents who lost their official positions and imperial orders, and moved out of the Rongguo Mansion with the whole family. Although the third daughter of the Jia family is still the sister of the concubine Xian, compared to before the accident in the Rongguo Mansion, it is inevitable that she can talk about marriage in Beijing. Down one step.

Now Wei Ruolan from the Wei family is just worthy of Miss Jia San.

There was an accident in the Ningrong Second Mansion, the wife of Ningbowei's family in Qing Dynasty, Mrs. Sun, watched Miss Jia San's behavior coldly for half a year, and felt that this girl was more able to control the younger generation of their family.

Hearing that the elder aunt was going to the Rongguo Mansion for a banquet, Mrs. Sun begged Mrs. Wei for half a day, begging her to be a great matchmaker, and to tell Miss Jia San to her son Wei Ruolan.

Mrs. Wei came to Rongguo Mansion with the eagerness of her sister-in-law, and paid attention to Tanchun. Although she was still young, she was only 12 years old, but her words and actions were quite decisive, and she was very calm in her words and actions. A pair of eyes are shining.

Tanchun was born well, her brows and eyes are more heroic than Yingchun, and seeing that she grows a little longer, she is also one of the best ladies in the family.

Mrs. Wei admired Tanchun very much at first, and now she looked at it again, and she was very satisfied with this marriage in her heart.

Every family in Beijing has such means at this age, and there are not many people who can subdue nearly a hundred people in a family. If you talk about Ruolan who can get it, there is only this one.

After the banquet was over, Mrs. Wei was not in a hurry to leave. Jiamu Wang Xifeng understood and invited Mrs. Wei to Jiamu's courtyard to talk.

Aunt Xue also came today with a matter, she wanted to discuss it with Mother Jia after the dinner, but seeing that Madam Wei also had something to do, she said nothing, took her leave and went back home, thinking about coming back tomorrow.

After they all sat down and drank a few sips of tea, and chatted a few gossips, Mrs. Wei revealed that the Wei family wanted to marry Tanchun for Wei Ruolan.

Mrs. Jia's mother Xing, Mrs. Wang Xifeng and the three thought that Mrs. Wei was going to talk about Yingchun's wedding today. Yingchun had passed her 15th birthday, and the two families had been engaged for a year, so they should agree on a year to get married.

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Wei opened her mouth, it was about Tanchun's marriage, and all three of Jia's mothers were taken aback.

Mrs. Wei talked about the situation of the Wei family, and Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng were also calculating the pros and cons of this marriage in their hearts.

Everyone is used to socializing and knows the rules here. This is the first time that the matchmaker and the woman's family mentioned it. If the woman's family is interested, they will naturally contact the matchmaker again, and the two families will formally talk about marriage.

So after Mrs. Wei finished speaking, Jiamu Wang Xifeng praised Wei Ruolan again, and this matter was over.

During the whole process, apart from praising Tanchun and Wei Ruolan, Mrs. Xing was very self-aware and didn't say anything else.

Although the left and right Feng and Wei families are relatives by marriage, compared to the two families, the Feng family is better.

Although the Wei family also has the title of first-class general, their real job is not as good as that of the Feng family. Moreover, the Wei family has difficult uncles and aunts who live in a mansion waiting to divide the family property. How can they catch up with the only son of the Feng family? Is it for spring?

The son-in-law of the second room is still not as good as the first room, Mrs. Xing is very happy in her heart, wishing that this marriage will come true, every sentence she speaks is more pleasing to the ear, but it makes Mrs. Wei look at her again.

Mrs. Wei once talked about the marriage for her nephew, and then came back to talk about her own son's marriage, saying that although Yingchun girl is still young, only fifteen, but her family will be twenty in two years.

Naturally, the Jia family also wants to take the money from the woman's family, so as not to let the man's family look down upon it.

But the Feng family is really affectionate and righteous. Last year, the head of the Rongguo Mansion were all arrested and awaiting trial. Not only did the Feng family not resign, they also tried their best to help their family find out the news. The Jia family always remembered the love of the Feng family.

Besides, Feng Ziying is eighteen this year and twenty the following year, so she is not too young. Most women in Dayan leave the court at seventeen or eighteen, and the year after the Spring Festival happens to be seventeen, which is not too early.

Therefore, the two families reached a tacit agreement, Mrs. Wei went home to discuss with the family, carefully choose a good day, and when Feng Ziying's [-]th and the [-]th of the Spring Festival in the next year, she will make a big gift for the two children to get married.

After deciding on this important event and seeing off Mrs. Feng, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family were all happy. Mother Jia said with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, we will welcome the girl and she will leave the cabinet. The dowry must be prepared."

Wang Xifeng had to take care of the dowry for the Spring Festival, so she stood still and waited for orders.

Just as Jia Mu opened her mouth, she sighed again and asked, "Madam Feng, how much money do we have in our public account?"

Wang Xifeng took two steps forward, and answered a number in Jia Mu's ear. The voice was not too loud, and even Mrs. Xing could hear it.

When Jia Mu heard "more than 4 taels", she sighed, and planned to have a moment in her heart, and said: "Brother Feng, you take out 1 taels of silver from the official, and prepare to buy the dowry for the girl, and put it in the box." Don't care about the amount of money, I will pay later."

"There is only such a son in the Feng family, and the dowry will definitely not be less. No matter how good his family is, if our family's dowry is not rich, we will not have the confidence to welcome the girl to the Feng family."

"We'd rather save more at this time, and arrange the dowry for the girl in a splendid manner, so that we can come and go frequently with the Feng family in the future."

Mother Jia's last words were actually explained to Mrs. Xing, but she didn't know that although Mrs. Xing was a little bit reluctant to part with ten thousand silver, she didn't care too much.

The left and right money are all spent on the eldest daughter, and not given to the second wife. When the marriage of the girl is completed, she will have a good son-in-law and good family. Zhener, Penger, and Miaoer have a good uncle and relatives, it's okay reluctant.

Besides, the money is not from her...

Madam Xing just finished thinking about it, the old lady over there called her, and she hurried forward two steps.

The old lady asked her: "Madam, you and the eldest are parents, how much do you subsidize for the dowry of the girl?"

Mrs. Xing didn't expect that she would have to pay for it, so she stood there in a daze for a while, not knowing what to say.

It's a few hundred taels less, which doesn't sound good. If it's too much, I'll subsidize the girl by two or three thousand. She...she really can't bear to part with such money...

Mother Jia knew what Mrs. Xing was thinking at a glance, looked at her helplessly, and called her again: "Go back and tell the boss, welcome the girl to buy the dowry, and ask him to prepare three thousand silver to send it. Father's mind."

"Just like what I said, I know he has money, but he doesn't have money, and there are still two years to go before welcoming the girl out of the court, so I have to get all of his intentions for being a father!"

Mrs. Xing breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and hurriedly agreed to the matter, thinking that she wanted her to pass on a message.

Seeing Mrs. Xing retreating in a hurry, Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng looked at each other and smiled, and Wang Xifeng laughed softly: "The old lady knows that the eldest lady is reluctant to part with the money, so why is she teasing the eldest lady?"

Mother Jia smiled helplessly: "Can you blame me? Who knew she would have thought of that place! After all, she is still a bit petty."

"Don't talk about that, let's talk about the marriage of these girls today, I just remembered that I still have something to ask of you."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly laughed and said, "I can't afford the word 'beg' as an old lady! If the old lady tells me anything, just say it, and I will definitely do it."

Jiamu laughed a few times, beckoned to Yuanyang and ordered her to come over, pulled her and smiled at Wang Xifeng: "Speaking of which, this girl has also been with me for ten years. Hearing them gossip, I just remembered that she is already 22."

"I think she has served me for a while, and there must be a good result."

"Although she is not yet old, you will keep an eye out for me from now on, to see if there is a suitable man in the family outside, and if the family has enough food and clothing, and the man is motivated, report it to me."

"Including Hu Po girl and the two of them, after another two or three years, I will release them and let them go outside to get married. This can be regarded as a beginning and an end."

Wang Xifeng clapped his hands and laughed, "So it's a good thing! Don't worry, my ancestors, I promise to find two good son-in-laws for my sister, Hu Po! They are upright and decent, and the family has riches, and..."

Yuanyang blushed a long time ago, even Hu Po was embarrassed, and before Wang Xifeng finished speaking, the two of them dragged each other from left to right, pretending to hit her with a handkerchief, and not asking her to speak.

Wang Xifeng spared a few laps, hid behind Jia Mu, and begged with a smile: "Oh, good sisters, for the sake of the old lady, please forgive me!"

She spoke pitifully, and hid behind Jia Mu again, and the mandarin duck and amber wanted to stop.

Who knew that Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes, and then continued: "If you don't look at me, at least you will look at the future brother-in-law..."

The two mandarin ducks refused to obey, and wanted to go around behind Jiamu and beat her, but Wang Xifeng ran out again, sat beside Jiamu, shrank into Jiamu's arms, and looked at them both smiling.

Mother Jia held Wang Xifeng in her arms, and stretched out her hands to hold the two mandarin ducks and amber, and then forget about it.

Seeing that the old lady laughed and forgot the melancholy just now, Wang Xifengfang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, resigned from the old lady, went back to the yard to arrange affairs, and talked to Yingchun about her dowry.

Yingchun heard Wang Xifeng talk about her dowry, although she was embarrassed, she listened to it carefully and kept it all in her heart.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, all the property that a woman with brothers can get in her lifetime is basically the dowry brought by her natal family. The dowry is the face of her natal family and the confidence of a woman.

As long as it is not out of line, the more dowry, the more the husband's family values ​​it, the more the dowry, and the more the mother's family values ​​it, the mother's family values ​​and respects a woman, and life after marriage will not be too bad.

Therefore, there is no woman in the world who does not wish for more dowry.

But Yingchun heard from Lian's second sister-in-law that first she would get 3000 taels from the official, and then the old lady would prepare money for her, and there was still [-] taels of silver from the old lady. Counting it into the dowry, I figured it would be over [-], and I was still surprised.

She didn't care about being shy, and hurriedly pulled Lian's second sister-in-law, frowning slightly: "Second sister-in-law, this is too much."

"In front of my sister-in-law, I'll just say it straight. Our family... our family is no better than before, and our family is not rich. I gave me this dowry all at once. It looks good on the scene, but it's too ostentatious..."

After what happened last year, Yingchun also had a better understanding of the affairs of foreign officials. Knowing the situation of their family, she should keep a low profile no matter what she did, so as not to attract people's attention.

If 50 years ago or 30 years ago, the Rongguo Mansion only spent [-] silver to marry their daughter, it would have seemed shabby.

But now there is no one in the Rongguo Mansion who is an official in the court, and there is only one title of third-class general left in vain. He has lost his reputation in Beijing, and he can spend [-] silver to marry his daughter. Isn't it too attractive?

Yingchun was worried, but Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Second sister, don't worry too much, what I just told you is what we know in our hearts."

"There are still two years before you leave the cabinet. When the time comes, let's see the situation. It's not difficult to underreport [-] million of the money in the box. It's not written on the dowry list. Just say hello to your in-laws and make it up later."

After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Yingchun's face softened a bit, but she still felt that [-] silver was too much, and sighed: "The family account only has [-] silver, and it was saved by the second sister-in-law's careful calculation."

"There are still plenty of places to spend money in the family. Cong'er is going to get married, and in the future Zhen'er, Peng'er, and Miao'er will also get married. Now the family's income is low. I will take away [-] yuan, and the family will be in trouble. "

Wang Xifeng hugged Yingchun and laughed for a long time, finally stopped laughing, and said to her: "Our second girl is really amazing, obviously the dowry will be yours in the future, but you want to find a way to get rid of it, and there are still people in the world. For those who don’t love money, I have gained a lot of knowledge today.”

"If you believe me, just rest assured and prepare to leave the cabinet with peace of mind. The family is not making much money now. It's because I haven't freed up to clean up some people in the village. When I clean them up, the family's money coming in every year will be three times more. Believe it or not?"

"There is only [-] on the account, but it only costs [-] to buy your dowry. The rest is paid by the old lady and the old lady. The Feng family's dowry is also included in the account, and it is not all the family's money. Take it as a dowry, you are so worried, you are too worried."

Yingchun felt a little more embarrassed than before, pulled Wang Xifeng's clothes and said with a smile, "Of course I believe in my second sister-in-law."

She made some calculations in her heart, and felt that Lian's second sister-in-law was right, so she relaxed and listened to what second sister-in-law told her that she was going to buy something for her in the dowry.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked for a long time, but no one thought that the problem came from Jia She, the father.

After Jia Amnesty went to prison once, he didn't dare to cause trouble and oppress others outside, but he got advantage of making trouble at home once, and his mind became more active.
