The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 605 Preparing for Marriage (Part [-])

Su Yunduo is the only girl from the second wife of the Su family, and she will be married to the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and it will be a marriage bestowed by the Holy Majesty. In addition to personally reminding Su Yunduo every day, Mrs. Lu also has a lot of preparations for the dowry. Naturally, he is also very caring.

This day, after the whole family had dinner at He Anju, Mrs. Lu mentioned the dowry of the second wife to Su Yunduo in front of the whole family. In addition to the dowry maid and dowry, there were Zhuangzi and the shop.

After the wedding date was confirmed, Mrs. Lu and Su Yunduo discussed the choice of dowry maid and accompanying room several times. Mrs. Ning had no experience in this matter and relied on Mrs. Lu's advice.

Su Yunduo had already had his own ideas about the dowry maids, and he chose two purples and two whites, that is, the big maids Zisu and Ziyue around Su Yunduo and the second-class maids Baikui and Baimian. Mrs. Lu didn't have any objections.

There were some twists and turns in confirming the companion room, but with the assistance of Madam Wu who was beside Mrs. Lu, it has been resolved satisfactorily.

Originally, Su Yunduo picked the Zhang family who used to serve in Huayang Street, and she arranged to go to Yangjiaji, that is, Zhang Dabao's family, but was rejected by the old lady Lu.

The reason is very simple, the Zhang family's population is too small, there are no useful people, and it is unbearable to be Su Yunduo's companion.

There are many servants in the second room, even if there are no servants in Dongmingfang, those who work in the shop or in the village can always find more qualified ones, not only the Zhang family.

Although Zhang Dabao is becoming more and more promising, and Uncle Zhang can be independent in Yangjiaji, but the Zhang family has lost a middle-aged man, and Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are all honest people. Going to Zhen Guogong's mansion by Su Yunduo's side to be the nanny or lady in charge must be a failure. Since he can't become Su Yunduo's strength, he can't let the Zhang family occupy a pit of companionship for nothing.

It was the first time for Su Chengzhi and Ning to marry a daughter. Naturally, it was what Old Madam Lu said and how they listened. At the same time, I hoped that Su Yunduo would listen to the old man more.

Of course, after listening to Mrs. Lu's explanation, Su Yunduo naturally would not insist on making mistakes, and could only give up the Zhang family with regret.

Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi also knew the trick, and directly handed over all the family deeds of the four members of the Zhang family to Su Yunduo. On the same day, they handed over Zhang Dabao, who followed Chen Guanshi to learn to manage affairs, to Su Yunduo. Now Zhang Dabao is arranged by Su Yunduo In Yangjiaji's Zhuangzi, Tongshan worked as an assistant.

In addition to the two Zhuangzi in Xijiao and Yangjiaji in Su Yunduo's hands, and the shop and Zhuangzi given to her by Su Jieting's mother-in-law in the name of adding makeup, there are naturally slave families, but no matter how you choose, it doesn't suit Mrs. Lu. Requirements, in a word, these slave families are not suitable to follow Su Yunduo into the town government.

In the end, Mrs. Lu decided to hand over the selection of companion rooms to Nanny Wu. Nanny Wu would choose a few suitable rooms first, and then hand them over to Su Yunduo to inspect and decide for herself. OK.

Jiang is really old and hot. It only took a few days for Madam Wu to help Su Yunduo pick out a few houses under the name of Dongmingfang and Erfang. After the Yujiefang started construction, they were handed over to Su Yunduo. Su Yunduo chooses by himself.

The few houses that Madam Wu selected have their own unique features.

Su Yunduo chose two families from them, one named Chen and one named Yang, both of whom were the children of families who had served for several generations.

Now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of these two families have been serving Su Yunduo for almost two months, and Su Yunduo is very satisfied.

What Old Madam Lu wants to talk about today is naturally not about dowry maids and companions, but for Su Yunduo's Zhuangzi and shop.

Su Yunduo shook his head repeatedly and refused: "Grandmother, my family has prepared so much dowry for me, so I can't give me Zhuangzi and shops. Besides, I have enough Zhuangzi and shops in my hands. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy them in a few lifetimes." After all, grandma left these Zhuangzi and shops to my younger brothers."

I have heard too many people complaining about the small dowry from their natal family, and there are not many people like Su Yunduo who think that the dowry is too much and they can't manage it.

The old lady Lu couldn't help giving Su Yunduo an angry look: "Miss Duo, don't you think that if you took these shops and Zhuangzi away, our second room will be empty. How can someone's daughter not accompany the shop and Zhuangzi when she gets married? My mother's family is incapable!"

Su Yunduo showed a smile and said: "I know that our second room will not be empty just because of giving me a few Zhuangzi, and I also know that our family has the ability, but the granddaughter already has a lot of shops and Zhuangzi. I’m afraid my granddaughter won’t be able to take care of these things. That’s right. There are a few things my granddaughter has here, and I ask grandma to accept them.”

As he spoke, he took three large kraft paper envelopes from Zi Su, and opened the envelopes one by one. Inside the three envelopes, one contained the equity and dividend agreement of the wine workshop, and the other contained the equity and dividend agreement of the preserved egg workshop. There is also a shareholding and dividend agreement for "Xianzao Yujiefang" without looking any further.

The old lady Lu and Su Chengzhi and his wife looked at each other, shook their heads almost at the same time and said in unison: "It's not right! Although you created these workshops before you left the pavilion, there is no reason to stay in your mother's house. Without you, who would be with you?" We work together?!"

"Why not? Except for Yujiefang, which owns the shares of the royal family, the other two are only cooperating with the Zhenguo government and the Ning family. Is it possible that these two will not cooperate with the Su family just because I am married?" Su Yunduo asked. She was prepared, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

After a lot of pushing and blocking, the final result can only be a step back. Mrs. Lu no longer mentioned adding a shop and Zhuangzi to Su Yunduo, and Su Yunduo also retracted the three workshop share dividend agreements.

Even though she took a step back, Mrs. Lu still felt that the second bedroom did not marry Su Yunduo to the shop, and Zhuangzi felt owed, so she finally gave Su Yunduo the deeds of the two courtyards.

One is in Yanshan Fucheng, which is the courtyard where Su Chengzhi lived when he participated in Qiu Wei, and the other is a seven-room five-entry courtyard in the capital. The location and environment of the courtyard are quite good, just beside Mozi Lake.

So far, Su Yunduo's dowry is basically determined.

From the first day of September, Mrs. Lu would personally watch Ning's dowry with her servants almost every day.

The first is the betrothal gift from the Duke of Zhenguo. After discussions between Mrs. Lu and Su Chengzhi and his wife, 32 only took a small part of the betrothal gift as a souvenir, and the rest was used as Su Yunduo’s dowry. These dowry gifts accounted for a full thirty loads.

The second is the carts of "makeup" sent by Mrs. Su Jieting. None of these old ladies Lu stayed behind, and all of them were taken away by Su Yunduo, because there are many shops and villages, and these are a full [-] liters.

In addition to the shares of two Zhuangzi and three workshops in Xijiao and Yangjiaji, as well as the dowry prepared by Mrs. Lu and Ning and Su Yunduo himself, it is a solid 56 liters.

These dowry plus furniture, a full 130 eight lifts.
