After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 300 Do you make up the betrothal gift?

The atmosphere in the study room is not bad, but the inner house is a bit weird.

Chen Xingyan also learned from the second wife that Chen Xinghan was punished to go to the ancestral hall for self-examination. He heard that he knelt for a day and a night yesterday and started copying Buddhist scriptures today.

Regarding this, Chen Xingyan just smiled and said nothing.

Chen Xinghan and Liu Gong caused the original body to die, so how can a little self-examination be easily exposed?
Originally, Chen Xingyan thought that he would seek revenge from the two of them when he became powerful in the future, but he didn't expect them to come to his door first.

After a few words, the old lady started first.

"Back when you were married far away, the date was fixed and rushed, and your dowry was not ready. We happened to be here today, so we decided to make up for this dowry for you."

After the old lady finished speaking, the nurse next to her took out a small box and brought it to Chen Xingyan.

Chen Xingyan was not in a hurry to answer, but instead looked at the old lady first.

The old lady's face was calm, and she said slowly: "There is a set of ruby ​​heads, and 2000 taels of dowry silver. I added a pair of Kodama bracelets for you."

After she finished speaking, seeing Chen Xingyan's calm face, she knew that this girl was rich, and she must not be short of these good things.

"Don't dislike it, now we have to go north because of the mob riots in the south of the Yangtze River, and a lot of money has been exchanged for money. Now that your father and uncle have not come here, you still need money to resettle such a big family. of."

"Granddaughter understands what grandma means."

Chen Xingyan winked, and Mother Lou behind her took the small box.

"Thank you grandma for still remembering her granddaughter."

These words finally sound like it.

The old lady said again: "Your elders will also make up dowry gifts for you. You also keep them together. Later, I will ask someone to make a new dowry list, and then send it to the yamen to cover it. I have signed the seal, so that there will be no troubles in the future."

Chen Xingyan nodded without objecting.

These days, a woman's dowry can be kept by herself.

In the future, no matter whether you are reconciled or divorced, you can get back your property according to the dowry list. This is one of the few laws that can make decisions for women.

Mrs. Liu is Chen Xingyan's aunt, the old lady said so, and it will be her turn next.

Liu's face was smiling, but his eyes were very distressed.

After all, it's going to make her bleed again, so it's no wonder she's happy!
"Liu girl, you have married here far away, and your life is prosperous. Mother doesn't have anything to sell, so she decides to give you a pair of gold inlaid jade bracelets, as well as some gold and silver jewelry. Because the cloth and other decorations are really inconvenient to transport, so my mother added 500 taels of silver bills to you, and you don’t think it’s too little.”

Chen Xingyan looked at the things sent by the Liu family, one was bigger than the box given by the old lady, the other was a small box containing a pair of gold inlaid jade bracelets, and there was a purse containing silver notes. .

"Thank you Madam, no matter how much it is, it is the elder's heart. Xingyan thanked Madam again."

To be honest, this is really not much.

After all, there is no real estate shop, just such a few jewelry plus 500 taels of silver notes, which is a bit shabby to say.

If according to the past rules, Chen Jiaguang would have to pay several hundred taels of silver for some furniture and other items of a married woman.

This Mrs. Liu is really stingy!
What the old lady meant yesterday was to ask Mrs. Liu to help buy another dowry.

this one?
The old lady's eyes flickered, she didn't speak, but she still gave Liu a warning look.

Liu's heart panicked, and thinking of her daughter's current situation, she gritted her teeth and said, "Look at me, I actually forgot a few things."

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she ordered someone to bring the things over.

The nanny who got the order took a careful look at the madam, she was sure that she was going to bring the things over, so she didn't dare to delay.

Mrs. Liu had someone carry in a large mahogany box with a layer of beautiful brocade on the bottom and various small boxes on top.

Mrs. Liu asked someone to open the box, and then opened the contents one by one for everyone to see.

Chen Xingyan was slightly moved this time, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Liu had a lot of good things in her hands. The most important thing was that she was willing to bleed heavily this time.

In addition to the censer, agarwood fan, exquisite hand stove and a few pieces of high-quality spices, there are actually two top-grade white jade ornaments.

The ornaments are not big, the biggest one is only the size of Chen Xingyan's palm, and there is a small jade lotus ornament, only the size of a woman's palm.

Behind her was a complete set of high-quality tea sets, and she knew it was top-grade when she saw the quality of the tea.

With the blessing of these things, the old lady's complexion finally looked better.

Liu Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To her, these things are actually not too expensive, but she always feels a little uncomfortable for her to give them up to Liu Yatou.

Chen Xingyan thanked her again, and soon the second and third wives also gave her make-up gifts in turn.

After that, it was the two aunts who added makeup to Chen Xingyan.

In the end, it was made up by several sister-in-laws.

This trip, Chen Xingyan can be said to have made a fortune.

However, if the original owner really married in the name of Miss Chen's family, these dowries are still inconspicuous, and if they are counted seriously, they can't catch up with the regulations on the marriage of a young lady from the concubine.

Don't look at the old lady who took out 2000 taels of silver bills all of a sudden, it seems a lot, this is the necessary silver taels for a daughter-in-law to get married, but other things are obviously not enough.

After all, in addition to the property shop, there are also some loyal housemaids and so on who can really make a married woman stay close to her.

But Chen Xingyan didn't have any of these.

However, thinking that the Chen family was fleeing, Chen Xingyan didn't care too much about them.

After all, her father and elder brother also helped her buy a lot.

With the previous makeup additions, the atmosphere afterwards was quite harmonious.

During the period of making up the dowry, the old lady and Mrs. Liu have been secretly looking at Mrs. Wang.

I thought she was just a peasant woman, but seeing such good things, she would definitely be unable to sit still.

Unexpectedly, people sitting on the ground are called stable!

As for these gold and silver jewels, it's as if you didn't see them.

Mrs. Liu was already holding her breath in her heart, but seeing this in-laws still sitting here pretending, naturally she couldn't stand it any longer.

"Mother-in-law, originally it was just these things, and our Chen family couldn't afford them, but now that something happened in the south of the Yangtze River, we can only do this. I hope my mother-in-law won't dislike it."

"will not."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much, but now that we have made up the dowry, do you have to make up for the dowry from the Lu family?"
