Spring is full of Jinghua

Chapter 92 The Dowry
The marriage between the Meng family and the Jiang family continued to proceed step by step.

During this period, another major event happened in the capital.Su Xin was murdered in the outskirts of Beijing, and several pieces were dumped. The method was extremely cruel.Some said that the Meng family did it, and some said that the Huang family did it, but they couldn't produce any evidence.The Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment were dispatched at the same time, but no clues were found.

Su Tong ran to the emperor and cried, saying that the Meng family and the Huang family did it.While the emperor comforted him, he told him not to talk nonsense, but to tell evidence in everything...

Of course Jiang Yixi knew that it was Meng Laogong and Meng Cimo who ordered people to do that.

One morning a few days later, Jiang Yixi finished copying "The Female Ring" and did embroidery work.She has already quietly started preparing the wedding dress, the outer ones are made by the sewing room in the mansion, and she makes the inner ones.

Suddenly, I heard Shui Qing and a girl quarreling, followed by Shui Ling's loud voice, "No matter how cheap you are, believe it or not, I'll beat you up."

Shui Xiang went out and persuaded the girl to leave.

Shuixiang came in and said to Jiang Yixi, "Bi'er is so unreasonable. She said that the third girl heard that Jiujiu was very good at talking, and wanted to borrow it for two days. Shuiqing disagreed, so she started scolding others. Shuiling went out to beat her, and was caught I hold on."

Jiang Yiyan is the uncle's daughter-in-law, she is arrogant in the house, and her girl also feels that she is superior to other girls.

Jiang Yixi fully believed that Huahua was just an inconspicuous civet cat. If it was a rare Persian cat, Jiang Yiyan would definitely want to "borrow" it.

She said, "Don't lend her anything in our yard."

Jiang Yiyan was upset, so he ran to the old lady to complain, but was reprimanded by the old lady.

"You are 15 years old, and you still have such a playful heart. Because a bird has a quarrel with your sister, you are not afraid of spreading it and affecting your relationship."

Jiang Yiyan tugged at the veil and said, "She's an older sister. If she doesn't love her younger sister, how can she blame me?"

The old lady snorted coldly, "Regardless of girl Xi, she attracted the favor of the Meng family's elders, and the Meng family came to propose marriage on their own initiative. How about you?"

The old lady glared at Jiang Yiyan angrily.The orphan girl in the second room is about to become the wife of Duke Cheng, and almost became the concubine of Prince Yong.As for this uncle's concubine's daughter, she talked about several relatives but failed to say so.

The mother and daughter both have eyes on the top of their foreheads, and they are looking for a wealthy family.It can be said that no matter the girl's appearance, talent, or reputation, none of them can be considered good...

Jiang Yiyan was poked at the sore spot, and he stomped his feet and dared not speak anymore.

In the evening at the end of winter, there is a lot of wind and snow.

Jiang Xun returns home.He came to the Burning Courtyard first, he was still a little limping when he walked, he was in good condition, and he had a smile on his face.

The two siblings said a few words, one outside the courtyard gate and the other inside the courtyard gate. Jiang Xun gave the roast chicken he bought to his sister before going to Ruyi hall.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yixi lifted the ban, and the marriage between the Meng family and the Jiang family also completed the application period.Mr. Meng Laoguo specially asked the abbot of Baoguo Temple to calculate the auspicious dates for the auspicious day, and they planned to get married on June 28 next year.

Wu Xiangbo's mansion finally became the in-laws of Duke Cheng's mansion.

Although she failed to become an in-law with Prince Yong's Mansion, after "losing" that in-law, the old lady realized that only what is really in her hands is the most precious and real.If you don't catch it one day, you may lose it.For their Jiang family, the Meng Mansion is already high, so we must be content.

The betrothal gift list of the Meng Mansion was also handed over to Mrs. Jiang, which totaled 5000 taels of silver.This kind of dowry is considered high in the entire capital.

A lot of betrothal gifts means that the daughter of the Jiang family is precious.

Mrs. Jiang felt that Bei'er had face, and told the people who came to congratulate her over and over again.

The in-laws have given out so many dowry gifts, so of course my own family can't afford too few.The old lady struggled for a day and a night, and decided to use 1 taels of silver to buy a dowry, and the dowry money from the Meng Mansion would also be included in the dowry.

Of the 1 taels of silver, the Jiang family took 150 taels of silver, plus the dowry left by the Hu family.Hu's dowry has 500 mu of land and a Zhuangzi, as well as a few invaluable ornaments and jewelry, the old lady priced it at [-] taels of silver.

As soon as her words came out, Mrs. Jiang burst into tears, and Uncle Jiang didn't want to.

Mrs. Jiang cried, "Mother-in-law, Hui girl of my family is still the eldest daughter of the uncle's mansion, the uncle's own daughter, who married the uncle's mansion's legitimate son, and the public only gave 4000 taels of silver. The rules for other girls, three taels of silver for the uncle's daughter Thousands, 1000 taels for a concubine. It’s a pity that a girl is special when she marries a son of the Duke’s mansion. An increase of [-] taels is already unbelievable. How can we give so much. We are in the uncle’s mansion, which sounds nice, but we get more out and less money in. Life is hard... ..."

The old lady said angrily, "I don't know much. It's a pity that the girl will be the wife of the country in the future, and she will be given more dowry so that she can remember her mother's goodness and try her best to pull brothers and sisters. Then how can Pingjinbo's mansion be compared with Cheng Guo's mansion? The dowry gift is only 1 taels, while the Meng Mansion has 5000 taels. Your family only prepares four or five thousand taels of silver, can you afford it?"

Looking at the older son with a bad face, he asked, "What about you? You don't have the same small eyes as your wife, do you?"

Uncle Jiang hesitated and said, "Mother is right, she should give Xi girl a considerable dowry. However, it is really difficult for the family to come up with so much money at once."

The old lady had no choice but to say, "6000 taels from the public house, and 500 taels from my private house."

Uncle Jiang really wanted to say, your old man took out all the 5000 taels of silver that Duke Cheng's mansion thanked Jiang Chen, wouldn't it be easier?But it's embarrassing to say that.

Mrs. Jiang was still unwilling.The old lady's private house was kept by her son for more points, and if she gave more to that girl, it would still be her own family who suffered.

She didn't dare to disagree, felt aggrieved and distressed, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

The old lady was so annoyed.Cursed, "Put away your petty thoughts. My second son bought the 5000 taels of private money with his life. Even if I gave it to Xi girl and Jiang Xun, it won't be your turn to cry here."

Uncle Jiang didn't dare to say any more, he frowned and scolded the eldest lady.In his opinion, the old lady's private house will definitely favor the third house, and he would rather the old lady have too many private houses.As for the property in the public house, it is a rule that the long house is divided into half...

Huahua rebroadcasted the content of this high-level meeting to Jiang Yixi.

Jiang Yixi snorted coldly.It stands to reason that Hu's dowry should be shared equally between her and Jiang Xun, or even more for Jiang Xun.They gave her all of it in order to save money, and she in her previous life accepted it as a matter of course.

It wasn't that she loved money so much in the past, but she didn't think about it, and she pretended to be Meng Laosan in her heart...

Poor little Jiang Xun.In the previous life, no one in this family cared about him, and finally died for no reason.

After knowing that Jiang Yixi had given Jiang Yixi so much dowry, Mrs. Jiang San felt a little distressed. She felt that the ratio was too high, which would affect her son's future distribution of the family property.
