Enter Jia Amnesty from the Red Chamber
Chapter 24 Preparing for the Dowry
The draft is at a critical moment, and no family dares to make trouble at this time, and no one has the guts to challenge the wrath of the emperor and the lords of the palace.Most of the show girls this year are of high status, and most of them are prepared for the older brothers, and the involvement of the former dynasty's team will inevitably arouse the fear of the most honorable one.
Because of this, everyone was extraordinarily quiet, especially those with beautiful girls at home.
After Yuanchun entered the palace for a few days, Jia's mansion kept its own law and order, and none of the servants dared to say anything. Except for the big house, everyone in the mansion was waiting for news.The old lady asked herself that she had prepared long enough and that Yuan Chun had been brought up well enough by her, but when the real thing happened, she would still worry about gains and losses.
The first selection of the draft is January, and all the show girls live in Chuxiu Palace. It is too easy to cause problems with a few people in one room. Besides, Yuan Chun's status is higher, I am afraid that the villain will be so shameful that he will plot secretly. Even if Concubine Zhen is safe and secure, it's hard to judge what His Majesty means.
This matter is related to the future of the whole family, and it cannot be easily destroyed. The old lady has always felt her heart beating wildly in recent days, and she can't sleep well, fearing that something big will happen.
Jia She didn't go out much recently, each family was quiet. He couldn't find anyone to go out for a walk, but he also had the fun of staying at home. He picked up a set of health-preserving swordsmanship and practiced it. His physique was obviously much stronger, and he became stronger and stronger. cheer up.
The small garden that was completely destroyed in the past has been carefully adjusted by Mr. Jia, and finally it looks like it has seen the sun again.
"Grandma, the second room doesn't seem to be preparing for mourning, and the second wife and the others didn't prepare plain clothes." Ping'er walked into the room and said with a smile, "Then shall we prepare for mourning?"
Wang Xifeng curled her lips, rolled her eyes lazily with each bite of fruit, "Let's get ready, we'll save face if others don't know how to be polite. How dare the second bedroom mention this right now, aren't they still dead? It really delayed Yuan Chun's entry into the palace, I'm afraid that even my daughter will never recognize her again."
"That's right." Ping'er nodded, "But why did that one suddenly become ill? If it was really because of childbirth, he should have reported it last time. I'm afraid there is some dark lawsuit in it. By the way, the last time we went back present……"
"Huh? Ping'er, what did you send over there? It won't really spoil your popularity!" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, quite curious.
"Grandma, don't laugh at me. It's just melons, fruits and vegetables, nothing worth anything. By the way, it's still cold today, but it should be better in the south. Those melons, fruits and vegetables are not chilled." , I’m afraid it’s going to be bad luck on the road, it’s really Ping’er’s fault, and it just made my aunt angry.”
"Where did your crime come from, you shrewd girl, don't you know how powerful Mrs. Lin is? After all, he became a third-rank official, and he can't even investigate this knowledge, and his position is not secure."
Wang Xifeng gouged her out with coquettish anger, and lightly poked Ping'er's brow between the brows of this ghost girl. Let's break up completely, but still pretend to be innocent with her.
Ping'er stuck out her tongue and blamed, "It's not that grandma, you are a good wife. But their family is also unlucky, and finally a son inherits the incense, but it's gone in January, really... By the way, you said the Lin family would Won't you continue to marry? If you continue to marry, it will have nothing to do with our Rongguo Mansion in the future."
"That's natural. Mr. Lin is only so old. He is still in his prime and has no heirs. It would be unfilial to not continue to marry, but the old lady disagrees. It's hard to say. You must know that the five generations of the Lin family have countless fortunes, and only one sister is left. Son."
"No way! This is a huge fortune!" Ping'er widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Grandma also wants this fortune? That will be retribution."
"Grandma, how can I get involved, grandma, I still want to have a son. But it's hard to say whether I will get involved there. If there is such a day, I am afraid that the reputation of Rongguo Mansion will be greatly reduced." Wang Xifeng sighed slightly, She really didn't hold out hope, she knew exactly how poor it was over there, such a large sum was right in front of her eyes, and she probably wouldn't let it go.
"Then Uncle Lin can't be so stupid! It's unfilial to have no heirs, and he doesn't have any clan to raise children. If he doesn't provide snacks, their line will really be cut off. There is no one to take care of the ancestral grave." Ping Er shook his head, but he didn't believe it. No matter how deep the relationship between husband and wife was, no matter how big the Rongguo Mansion was, he couldn't possibly be subdued. At least he should bring a child back to raise him.
"Grandma, Xiuzhu from Madam's side is here, saying that Madam has something to order."
"Got it, let that girl in."
Miss Xiuzhu is the big girl next to Mrs. Xing who was only recently mentioned. She used to be a second-class girl with Mrs. Wang, but she is not well-established among the children of the Rongguo Mansion, and she is not a good person by nature, which makes Mrs. Wang lose her There is no take away in the east courtyard.
Wang Xifeng has known for a long time that there is such a wonderful person, who is easy to control and has some abilities, and if he is placed next to the eldest wife, he can give her a lot of advice.Seeing that it's only been a few months, this Xiuzhu girl is the No. 1 in the eldest wife's house besides Wang Shanbao's family.
This person is also really responsible, even if he gets up, he is not arrogant, he naturally wants to salute when he sees his master, not like a mandarin duck, and he has to be the second wife to say good things to her, he really considers himself a character.
After Xiuzhu finished the ceremony, she said in a charming voice, "Second Grandma, our wife asked you to help arrange the dowry of the second girl, because the second girl is going to be a dowry, and the big ones don't need the rest, but they need to be more meticulous, so The eldest wife was afraid of missing something, so she wanted Second Mistress to accept the rest of the matter."
"Oh? What has the wife prepared?"
"Our wife has ordered to make 128 sets of four-season clothes, according to the girl's figure in the next six years, 50 sets of rouge and gouache, [-] sets of head and face jewelry, as well as various colors of hair oil and flowers, materials of various colors and seasons, pens and inks. There is also a box of paper and inkstones. The wife explained that ten boxes of dowry have been prepared, the master means fifteen boxes, and you can see what you can decorate, just make a list."
The eldest wife's dowry was not generous, and she didn't know what the bride-to-be had to prepare, so she came to ask Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng immediately took out her own dowry list.
Antique ornaments, vases, etc. are still needed, as well as various levels of banknotes, silver and jewelry, and finally some daily-needed ingredients and tea, etc., and five neat boxes are enough.
Xiuzhu took the list, read it carefully, and carefully stuffed it into her purse, "Second Mistress, I'm afraid that Yingchun's sister doesn't know about it yet, so the eldest lady still wants you to comfort her, so that she doesn't want to go on a business trip." , to waste the master's kindness."
"By the way, my wife also said that if you want to tell that person, you must stay away from the eldest sister. It is best to associate with that person."
"Understood." Wang Xifeng nodded. If she didn't know the relationship between the master and that person, she might not understand. After the second master came back to analyze with him that day, she felt that Yingchun might really have a good future. Even if he can compete with Yuan Chun, he might be mad at those villains.
After Xiuzhu left, Wang Xifeng finally took Ping'er to the Rongqing Hall. This was the first time she went there since she moved, but this exception was broken, and she had to come here often in the future, so as not to say that she was not filial to the old lady.
Because of this, everyone was extraordinarily quiet, especially those with beautiful girls at home.
