Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 417 Dowry or bride price?

When Song Liyun realized that Nanny Xu was begged by Duke An from the Queen Mother and was going to be given to Mrs. Wu Ya's nanny, she couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhao Yanjiao was afraid that Mrs. Wu Ya would not accept it, so he turned the corner and sent it to him, and said that it was given to him by Mrs. Wu Ya.

Lin Luyin was a well-rounded person, she brought Madam Xu, and she did not forget to win over Song Liyun.

"In addition, Mrs. Garrison still has some dowry to send over.

She is worried that it will not be easy for you to settle here, so she will stay in Hecheng for the time being, and send her directly to Mida Valley in the future. "

"What kind of dowry? Why would Mrs. Guard prepare a dowry for me? It's unreasonable!"

Song Liyun was a little puzzled, how could Mrs. Bing prepare a dowry for herself? I'm afraid it was handed over for Mr. An!

"Xiaoyun, Mrs. Bing is the most kind and approachable person. She only found out that you were wronged in Hecheng last time when she came back from the capital, and she sent Aunt Li out of the house.

Let me say no to you first, thinking that when you two sisters-in-law meet in the future, I will personally apologize to you! "

Through Lin Qingyuan's introduction, Lin Luyin, who has already taken over the jewelry business, has entered the defense mansion several times, and has a good relationship with the guard's wife and the officials' wives in Pingyang mansion.

"It stands to reason that Mrs. Guard is an outsider, so it's inappropriate to add makeup.

But my wife said, there are no elders in your family to take care of you, so I'm afraid there will be omissions, and it may not be convenient for the third son to add anything that is lacking in your life in the future, so I made a list on my own initiative, and if you think it's okay, let Qingyuan send it. "

With that said, Lin Luyin asked the little maid to bring a wooden box.

Song Liyun opened it and took out a long roster from it.

Looking at the words on it, "Fifty double-happiness red quilts", "Ten pairs of red lacquer and gold barrels", "Two sets of huanghuali wood furniture", "Heavenly silk summer quilt... a hundred pieces of brocades of various colors"

The more she looked at her face, the darker she was. She also prepared a dowry, but it was a lot of cotton cloth, quilts, charcoal, salt tea and rice noodles. It was more like a grocery store than a dowry.

The guarding lady here is the real dowry of the big family.

Looking down, Song Liyun was completely speechless.

"Four personal servants, eight rough servants, twelve servants, eight nurses, fifty acres of land lease..."

At this time, Song Liyun had already believed that this was the dowry gift that An Guogong gave to Mrs. Wu Ya as compensation, and he was just the one who changed hands.

This matter... She looked at Nanny Xu suspiciously, this matter might not be so simple!

Sure enough, when no one was around at night, Mother Xu who stayed in Baolinju told the truth.

As she expected, Nanny Xu was not hers.

"The maidservant was begged by An Guogong from the Queen Mother. This time I will go to the grassland with the girl, and I will serve Mrs. Wuya in the future!"

Song Liyun breathed a sigh of relief, so she just said, what virtue and ability do I have, I want the Empress Dowager of Beijing to miss her, and send herself a maid from a long distance.

She frowned and said, "Why did An Guogong do this? Now that the two sides have frequent exchanges of business, it is also feasible to directly send Madam to the grassland."

Madam Xu smiled faintly: "This servant used to be the treasurer of the Shangyi Bureau, in charge of the clothes of the masters in the palace.

These years have lived up to the empress dowager's great trust. No matter what happens, the clothing bureau is very peaceful, and the embroiderers haven't left a single needle on the clothes.

Finally seeing the emperor enthroned, the slaves were impatient with the disputes in the capital, and wanted to return to their hometowns for the elderly.

It's just that the slaves left home when they were young, and they didn't know where their hometown was.

The Empress Dowager wanted servants to serve Mrs. Wu Ya, and the servants naturally had to obey the Queen Mother's orders. "

Song Liyun's brows twitched slightly, and she could hear the meaning of Xu Nanny's words.

Nanny Xu is the Queen Mother's confidant.

A few years ago, when the queen mother was still the queen, she was in a difficult situation. Madam Xu helped the queen to overcome several difficulties.

Going to the Di Tribe this time is not only an honor, but also probably the spy of the Wu Dynasty on the grassland, so I have to accept it.

"The items in the gift list of the garrison lady were all prepared by An Guogong for the girl. They were brought out from the capital by the servants and are now being stored in the Hecheng garrison mansion."

"The maidservants are also selected by the palace, and when the girls get married, they will be sent by the Zhenbei Army."

As soon as Song Liyun heard about Cai Nu, he thought of the amber and jade that he met in the defense mansion.

Those beauties were carefully selected by the imperial court and sent to him...

She couldn't help frowning secretly, although Zhao Tingduo didn't intend to take a concubine, but every day she looked at it, there were always omissions.

But Song Liyun didn't want to worry about things that hadn't happened yet, and just cared about what was in front of her.

Since Nanny Xu is going to serve Mrs. Wu Ya, she knows the relationship between An Guogong and the Di tribe.

She said to Song Liyun: "The empress dowager originally wanted to invite Mrs. Wu Ya to the capital, and to give her a royal order as a side lady of the Duke's mansion. But An Guogong said that his wife did not like the etiquette and red tape of the Wu Dynasty, so she would not go to Beijing, so she only asked for these rewards." .”

Song Liyun suddenly felt that Duke An knew Mrs. Wu Ya quite well.

She also couldn't imagine what it would be like for Mrs. Wu Ya to enter the capital, taste tea and enjoy flowers with a group of noble ladies, and say what she meant.

But...these beautiful maidservants are embarrassing themselves and Mrs. Wu Ya!
Half a month later, Qin Huai and others arrived in Suijin Town, and quickly dispersed to the Bahrain tribe and several guards.

It's not too cold this winter.

The Bahrain tribe, who moved to the Huangsha River Valley last year, had a good life and attracted several small tribes of 30 to [-] people with their livestock.

This kind of thing is what Song Liyun welcomes the most. Only when the tribe gathers together and everyone develops can her business route have a future.

Some small tribes in Bahrain exchanged cattle and sheep for hay, concentrated feed, salt for tea and cloth with traders in the Wu Dynasty. Her beef, mutton and leather goods have a continuous supply.

Song Liyun did not engage in a monopoly, but set the purchase price early.

If you control the cattle and sheep business with one hand, you can earn a few taels of silver now, but it is narrow-minded and short-sighted for a business that needs long-term and healthy development.

She can't earn all the money even if she is exhausted, and she will be too popular.

Only when more tribes are willing to approach the Wu Dynasty and more merchants deliver goods will it be a long game of profit for the whole people.

Driven by profit, many small traders around Qili County worked tirelessly, paid taxes and passed the Suijin Pass, and "adventurously" went to the grassland.

The Bahrain tribe is also building houses, and traders from the Wu Dynasty brought all kinds of building materials in bullock carts and made a lot of money.

In a short period of time, people from the Bahrain tribe came and went, turning it into a small market town.

Even the herdsmen of Shitanbao, who were two days away, came to exchange the dried herbs and mushrooms they picked on the grassland in summer in exchange for the supplies they needed.

Baolin Juli is also very busy.

The Wuda tribe's dowry has already been delivered, and Elder Shan and Wudan are the ones to welcome the bride.

Elder Shan is no stranger to Wu Chao, after all, he is an old man who has lived with Zhenbei Army for 20 years, and he speaks Wu Chao dialect fluently.

Only Wu Dan came to the city of Wu Dynasty for the first time, looking at the market full of people coming and going, he was both novel and shy, which was very rare.

So, he was taken to Qili County by Xiao An, and ran wildly in the crowd with Da Hua Da Zhu and the others.

Song Zhenping also returned to Broken Gold Town.

From Nanny Xu to Baolinju, Song Liyun sent him a letter, telling him about the "dowry" she got for nothing.

Originally, he wanted to let Song Zhenping feel at ease, knowing that his sister was very much cared by his "in-law's family", but Song Zhenping left his pregnant wife and came to meet him immediately.

Although in Xiaoshi Village, Song Liyun said that he should take good care of Yang Hua and not go to Suijin Town to send her off as a bride.

But how could Song Zhenping agree, Xiaoyun is his only sister, if there is no Xiaoyun, he and Xiaoan are still struggling to survive.

The younger sister is married to the grassland, the world is far away, and it is difficult to see each other again.

Even if Xiaoyun said that he would often return to Suijin Town to take care of business, the nature of that was different.

She will be the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and no longer simply a daughter of the Song family. She will be restrained in everything she says and do, and she will not be as free as she is now.
