Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 47
Not to mention the 36 sets of jewelry heads, there are [-] strings of bracelets alone, and the materials include gold, silver, jade, as well as coral, pearl, agarwood, and sandalwood.

In addition to fabrics, jewelry, leather, etc., there are also furniture, such as a bed, a vertical cabinet, a wooden table, a big piano table, a small piano table, a table with three drawers, and a table with eight immortals...

Jiang Changning also saw a piece of mutton fat jade carved fairy mountain, a pair of mutton fat jade carved crane and deer screens, a pair of ancient bronze unicorns, and a piece of emerald lotus leaf... Each piece is very valuable.

"Uncle Nan, where did you gather so many good things?" Jiang Changning was very curious about how Jiang Nan bought such a generous dowry.

"As soon as the girl was born, the master and wife began to save the dowry for the girl. Later, when the master and wife were gone, the old slave helped to save." Jiang Nan explained.

Thinking of Jiang's father and mother who loved him so much, Jiang Changning's eyes were moist, he was silent for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Nan, will this exceed the limit?"

"It won't exceed the limit. The old slaves have inquired clearly. A girl has a rank and is a county lord, and she is married to a prince. According to the etiquette, there should be a 360 dowry. As long as there is no five-clawed dragon pattern in it, everything else can be used .”

"Uncle Nan, I'm the second concubine. According to the rules, you can't pass the concubine Yuan in the dowry." Jiang Changning reminded him.

Jiang Nan's face turned dark, he forgot about it, and said in a muffled voice, "Then put the last two things in the front, and make a dowry of 350 eight."

Just two lifts less, what's the difference?
"Uncle Nan, the bun has meat, it's not on the folds, so it doesn't need to be lifted so much." Jiang Changning didn't want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Princess Pu, and she didn't like being so ostentatious, she preferred to make a fortune in silence.

"Girl, everyone in the world has a pair of snobbish eyes. This dowry has to be displayed for everyone to see. It's too shabby, so it won't work." Jiang Nan persuaded.

Jiang Changning is the second concubine, and her status is lower than that of the Yuan concubine. If the dowry is too small, the girl will be looked down upon.

Jiang Nan insisted that the dowry must be 350 eight lifts, and he refused to reduce anything on the booklet.

Jiang Changning couldn't resist him, and was grateful for his kindness, so he could only listen to him.

The dowry was carried by two people, four people, and eight people. Jiang Nan prepared a large box for eight people to carry, which was half the height of a person.

It took two full days to carry the dowry into the house, attracting many passers-by to watch.

Fang Ju took a few maids with her, and she lighted the boxes until her eyes turned black. She ran up to Jiang Changning, "Girl, girl, look at the servant girl's eyes, they look like carrots."

Jiang Changning smiled, "Thank you for your hard work. Let Mrs. Cui cook a piece of fish. You can eat fish eyes and make up for it."

"Two fish eyes." Fangju stretched out two fingers and said.

Xiulan laughed and said, "If there's anything delicious about fish eyes, you're the only one who likes it. Don't worry, we won't snatch it from you."

Fang Ju was thinking about food, ignored her, and happily went out to find Mrs. Cui.

Jiang Nan was afraid that a gentleman from Liang Shang would come to visit him, so he frightened Jiang Changning, and even sent a few people to patrol around the house.

A few days later, a happy lady went to Zhou's house and met Mrs. Miao. After she finished speaking, she took out the porcelain bottle hidden in her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mrs. Miao, "Mrs. Zhou, this is the medicine." .”

Miao's face was livid, "You can tell my master about this again later."

"Okay." Mrs. Xi replied.

Miao asked her maid to invite the Zhou brothers and Luo Shi over. As soon as the three entered, she said, "Something has happened."

"What happened?" All three of them were taken aback by her.

"Mother Quan, tell me." Mrs. Miao called that Mrs. Xi.

"A few days ago, a woman came to my house and gave me 1000 taels of silver and a bottle of medicated oil. She asked me to do one thing, that is, when combing the hair of the county lord of Chun'an, put the medicated oil on the head of the county lord. On the head, the county magistrate will be drowsy and unable to give the gift." The whole woman repeated what she had just told Miao.

Before women in this dynasty get married, they will ask Mrs. Quanfu to comb their hair. Both Wu and Zou are not Quanfu's wives, and Jiang Changning doesn't want to invite them.

As for Mrs. Quan Fu of the same family, Jiang Changning's grandfather's branch has been passed down to Jiang Changning's generation, and she is the only one.

Mrs. Jiang had three brothers and two sisters, but the two younger brothers died of illness without leaving any heirs.

The youngest concubine brother was abducted by a kidnapper, and he couldn't find it after several years of searching. Now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

Among the two sisters, Mrs. Zhuang is a sister, and the other is a concubine. She married a junior military official. After Mrs. Jiang died of illness, she had little contact with her.

There is no Mrs. Quan Fu who is close to the same clan, even if there is, it is not convenient to bring people from Hangzhou to Beijing.

At the beginning of September, Jiang Changning asked Miao to invite the best Mrs. Xi in Beijing for her to be Mrs. Quanfu, this is Mrs. Quanfu.

"Although the old woman has little knowledge, she also knows this and cannot do it. If so, the old woman pretended to agree, and then followed her and watched her enter the big official's mansion in Tiaoshun Lane."

"Are you sure?" Zhou Chengcheng asked in a deep voice.

"I'm sure, I saw her go in through the corner door, I was afraid I was wrong, so I squatted there for a few days, saw her three times, it was true, I came to tell the masters and ladies about it. "The whole lady laughed twice, "I was a little scared, and I didn't dare to ask her identity."

"Thank you for not inquiring. If you inquire, you will be dead now." Zhou Shouxin said coldly.

The whole woman had a bitter face, and she knew that she would be involved in the dirty affairs of the deep house and compound, and there was nothing she could do.

"We will investigate this matter. You live here temporarily. I will protect your family members. But if you lie, you will know the consequences." Zhou Chengcheng said seriously.

"If the old woman tells a lie, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky." The whole woman swore.

Zhou Chengcheng also believed that Mrs. Quan would not lie, "Second child, you take her down and take care of things."

When Zhou Shouxin took the whole lady away, Miao asked, "Do you want to tell the girl about this?"

"We'll do it after we've done it. There's no need to tell the girl." Zhou Chengxin didn't want Jiang Changning to worry about getting married.

"Brother, I think it's better to tell the girl about this." Luo Shi disagreed, "It was a fluke this time, and the matter was exposed early, what if there is another time? Let the girl be vigilant."

"Your brother and sister are right. The girl married into the palace and is a princess. She must often go to the palace. The Song family has a noble concubine in the palace. The girl doesn't know that the Song family is vicious, so she will be coaxed." Miao agreed.

"Such insidious means can only be used by women. My sister-in-law and I can't help the girl for the time being, so we can only make the girl be careful." Luo Shi added.

Hearing what the two said, Zhou Chengcheng felt that it was reasonable, "You go to see the girl later, tell her about this, and ask her how to deal with this matter by the way?"

After Miao and Luo changed their clothes, they went to Jiang's house in a carriage.
