My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 13 The Dowry
In front of the eunuch in charge of the treasury, the nanny didn't say anything.

All the way back to Xikuayuan, there is no one else.

The nanny choked with sobs and said, "Gege... Those furniture are refurbished, re-oiled from the master's dowry... The coral and white jade in the jewelry are also old things... There are a lot of new gold jewelry, but few sets are solid. Yes, it's either hollow or filigree, light and fluffy or good-looking... There are also clothing materials, only silk cloud satin and Ning silk brocade, not a single piece of valuable Shu brocade, golden brocade, soft smoke, and pomegranate silk... a few The big wool clothes in the box are only made of mink fur. The mink fur given by the palace during the initial ceremony should have been made by the Household Department and carried back. There is nothing else, and the small fur clothes are only made of ermine. , the rest are all squirrel skin...is this not a bully? It is what Ge Ge usually wears at home, or ermine skin..."

"It's really old, read that right?"

Guo Luoluo Gege really couldn't believe that his uncle and aunt, who had always regarded him as his own daughter, would fool himself with the dowry.

The grandma was originally a royal coat, and it was the dowry of Guo Luoluo's birth mother. Naturally, she had seen these old things, and she cried: "I'm not mistaken, the huanghuali of Yishui is engraved with longevity grass... just suitable for the master. The name was prepared by the old master early on..."

Guo Luoluogege has always been arrogant and indulgent, so he couldn't bear this grievance, so he immediately went to the study in the front yard to look for his family, King Ma Hun of Anjun.

"Uncle, what's the matter with my dowry? Didn't it mean that the furniture made by Jiangnan craftsmen was replaced by my old things?"

Guo Luoluo Gege stared, questioning aggrievedly.

Maerhun only had a son, but no daughter. In the early years, he loved Guo Luoluo's niece for the sake of the old prince. After a long time, he got used to pampering her, and he grew up with sincerity.

With the eighth elder brother, the prince's noble son-in-law, Ma Hun had already prepared a decent dowry to give his niece a face, even if it was no worse than Da Fujin and the crown princess, but who knew that Tai Fujin would be replaced, and why? He kept it a secret, until after the preliminary ceremony, he asked someone to open the warehouse to draw up the dowry list, and he didn't realize it was wrong.

Clothes and jewelry can be repaired in private, but the furniture and furnishings are really too late to buy something else, so I can only embezzle my sister's dowry from that year.

"It was your aunt who was confused and confused your dowry with your little aunt's... There is no time to re-arrange the furniture and furnishings, but now this set of family heirlooms is also decent. Don't worry, uncle is reluctant to make you feel wronged. The house, two shops, one village, and ten hectares of land, and I have entrusted someone to purchase another property. By then, the dowry property will be doubled, and the money will be abundant, which is more decent than buying these dead objects..."

Guo Luoluogege laughed through his tears.

She is not a fool, she naturally knows who in this house really loves her, aunt may just be superficial, but uncle's love is not fake.

You know, in the dowry, the dowry is the big one.

Among the married princes Fujin, except for Da Fujin and the Crown Princess who had more than a dozen marriages, the others had no more than six or seven. Doubling their own marriages is no worse than Da Fujin and the Crown Princess. Don't talk about that Dong E family.

*
In the Dutong Mansion, the Jueluo family and Mrs. Uncle's sisters-in-law got together and were also drawing up a dowry list.

Shu Shu was at the side, but she frowned, was it too much?

It's not that the ten hectares of land in Tongzhou have been replaced, how can there be Zhuangzi?

Haidian Xiaozhuang is [-] mu, which is the dowry of Mrs. Uncle.

There are four shops, two privately owned by the Jueluo family, one for Mrs. Uncle's dowry, and one for Shu Shuxin's silver building.

There are four sets of houses, three sets of three entrances, and one set of two entrances. Among them, one set of three entrances is given by the uncle, and one is given by the uncle of the Gongfutang. The one that entered was a gift from the elders of the second house, the Dong E clan of Prince Yu's mother's uncle.

So much for real estate!

Even if she wanted financial freedom, Shu Shu didn't think about brazenly searching her natal family.

One must know that her cousin is going to get married soon, and the five younger siblings under her family will also be getting married in a few years. When the time comes, they will need money everywhere for marriage and errands. How can she have the nerve to take the lead?

Dong E's family has been passed down for a long time, but this is not the patriarch's house, and the inherited ancestral property is limited. In addition, the grandfather has been hanging guards all the time, and did not go out to seek vacancies, so it can be regarded as sitting on the mountain.

That is to say, Mrs. Uncle's dowry is generous, and she feels that Luo's management is sound, so the two houses are not in financial distress.

Shu Shu persuaded earnestly: "Amou, Ernie, you don't need to spend so much... I have emptied the house, how can I have the nerve to see my sister-in-law and younger sisters in the future... Isn't that the most annoying sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Uncle snorted softly: "Auntie, is this a heretic? You can accept Ernie's, but Amu's can't?"

"You're a heretic, didn't you already get several boxes of jewelry? There are also several boxes of fur materials, and it takes advantage of this. When the time comes, my cousin will suffer a loss, so don't feel bad..."

Shu Shu hurriedly took Mrs. Uncle's arm and acted like a baby: "Let's steal the benefits, and put all the unnecessary things on the face..."

The eldest son only has Xi Zhu as his only son, but he was a concubine. In the past two years, the uncle made the decision to marry the uncle's niece, Shun Cheng, a concubine from the palace.

Da Gege is sixteen this year, and their wedding date has been set long ago, and they will marry this month.

Mrs. Uncle patted Shu Shu's arm: "That's a niece over there, aren't you a niece? Little white-eyed wolf, I've been taking you for nothing for a few years... The dowry is your face, don't be shy at this time, you should show it off." Zhang Yang, if you are underestimated by others, why not get angry for nothing..."

The mothers chatted and laughed, and after all they planned it according to the meaning of the two elders.

Shu Shu really didn't dare to say anything else, otherwise she would make Mrs. Uncle sad, so she hugged Mrs. Uncle's arm and said in a low voice: "When Brother Jiu opens the mansion in the future, and Ah Mou is bored at home, let's go to Haidian Zhuangzi stay up..."

Shu Shu has already decided that when the tea business starts, she will spend money to repair a separate courtyard in Zhuangzi sent by Mrs. Uncle.

Uncle's health is weak, which is not a sign of longevity. Now he is also a man of five years old. When the time comes, the bastard will be the master of the house. Even if the bastard and daughter-in-law that Mrs. Uncle will serve next to her are her own nieces, it may not be as she wishes.

Mrs. Uncle couldn't help laughing, and patted Shu Shu's hand: "Pretend to be honest for two years, when you give birth to little brother and little Gege, no one else can find fault with being a daughter-in-law, a wife, or a mother, then think about it again." Relaxed day..."

Have a baby?
Shu Shu couldn't help thinking, is she close to Chun Tai's blood, is she far from Brother Jiu?
When she got back to her yard, Shu Shu picked up a pen and paper, and calculated the overlapping bloodlines of herself, Chun Tai, and Brother Jiu.

Starting from Shushu's great-grandfather He Shuutu, he was born of the eldest daughter of Taizu, a quarter of Taizu's blood.

He Shuutu married Daishan's daughter (granddaughter of Taizu) and gave birth to a grandfather who had a quarter of Taizu's blood.

The grandfather married Daishan's granddaughter (great-granddaughter of Taizu) and gave birth to a father who had three-sixteenths of Taizu's blood.

My father married the great-granddaughter of Taizu's nephew, Amin, and gave birth to himself. What is his Taizu's lineage?

Four thirty-two, one eighth!

Chuntai’s cousin is the great-great-grandson of Taizu, and the paternal line here inherits one-sixteenth of Taizu’s blood. His mother Dong Efujin, like Shu Shu’s father, also has three-sixteenth of Taizu’s blood. Five out of twelve.

From Dong E's family, Chun Tai's maternal grandfather is Shu Shu's grandfather, and the two have a quarter of the same blood.

Adding up the blood of the two surnames, the overlap between the two is three-eighths, which is not much less than the overlap of half-brothers or half-brothers.

Brother Jiu is also the great-great-grandson of Taizu, one-sixteenth of Taizu's blood.

Compared with Shu Shu's one-eighth, the overlap between the two is one-sixteenth.

What modern society prohibits is collateral and direct blood relatives within three generations, that is, a quarter of the blood overlaps.

One-sixteenth, the blood relationship should not be too close!
The law is forbidden!

As for the sale of tea, Shu Shu picked up the plan next to her, with a look of frustration on her face.

She had already made a plan, but when she took this to discuss with the two elders, both of them refused without hesitation.

Mrs. Uncle gave a lesson: "As long as you have enough money, the family is just as it is now... No matter how eye-catching it is, it will be a disaster... You have always been arrogant, why are you trying to make a fool of yourself now? Just a dowry is enough to provide you with food and clothing. The status of the prince Fujin, It's your confidence to support your mother's family, but it's not easy to use it to make money, that's not worth the candle..."

Jue Luo is not opposed to this business, but he also thinks that it is not appropriate for his family to intervene: "Even relatives are afraid of getting involved in the economy... In the future, you have to plan your own small life, husband, children, and in-laws, instead of always thinking about it." On the other side of her natal family... the previous lawsuit with Guo Luoluo's family, who knows if Concubine Yi will remember that you will keep it in her hands, and if Concubine Yi treats you well later, you will use it to partner with Wu Fujin... If not Concubine Yi treats you normally, you just keep it for Shifujin to enter into a partnership with Shifujin in the future, it is not necessary for all the sisters-in-law to be friends with each other, but there must always be one or two relatives..."

Shu Shu had no choice but to make up her mind to make up for it when her younger brothers got married.

As for the cousin here, the wedding date is just around the corner, and as an unmarried person, it is not easy to give a heavy gift, and he will wait for his son and daughter to prepare it when they land.

*
In the blink of an eye, on April [-]th, Shu Shu's cousin Xi Zhu got married, and the uncle's mansion held a grand banquet to entertain guests, relatives and friends.

Bo's Mansion is on the east side of Dutong Mansion, and the two mansions live next to each other.

It's just that compared with the population of Ding Fanmao in the Dutong Mansion, the same two-storied five-entry mansion here has only three masters, which is much deserted.

The wedding shed was set up the day before yesterday, today is the official day, and the official banquet is set at Weishi.

According to ancient rituals, marriages should have been at night, but because of the curfew, marriages have been changed to daytime marriages since the previous dynasty.

The bride's dowry was delivered yesterday, and it was laid out in the new house, and now the dowry mother is watching the house.

There are actually two types of ancestral daughters. One is the ancestral daughters with titles and stipends. They are the daughters and concubine daughters of the royal family who are entrusted to the Duke of Enfu and above. The daughters of the clan are all the daughters of the no-jue clan, and the dowry is prepared by themselves.

Although the bride is Gege from the county prince's mansion, she is a concubine from the concubine's room, so she is not a knight, but she is the eldest daughter of the county prince, and the dowry prepared by the prince's mansion is quite generous.

Shu Shu also learned a lot about what an extravagant marriage is.

Ninety-six dowry, except for the first Ruyi which is symbolic, the others are divided into several categories, such as real estate, land, and shops, which are not as comfortable as they are, and there are six or seven places, and the income is enough to make money for private houses ample.

The furniture ranges from large wardrobes, Eight Immortals tables, desks, and boxes to small boxes and small boxes, covering all the furniture in the living room and bedroom.

Then there are the furnishings, ranging from expensive antique ornaments to ordinary fruit trays and tea caddy.

There are also cosmetics and daily necessities, toiletries, cosmetics, bedding, and various curtains.

Then there are clothes for the four seasons, shoes and socks, and other wears, and the rest is gold and silver jewelry.

There is also the population, four women and two households.

The relatives and friends of the Dong'e clan naturally came up early in the morning to help, and the guests also arrived one after another before the bridal sedan team was about to set off.

Shu Shu, my sister-in-law, lived in the uncle's mansion last night. There is her special yard here. Today, she also has the task of entertaining guests. She is responsible for entertaining the rich ladies among the guests, but she did not expect an unexpected guest to come...
