The female supporting role never believes in fate

Chapter 95 The Dowry
"Dowry has always been a woman's confidence."

While arranging the dowry list for Cheng Yuguan, Chang told Cheng Yuguan about her experience.

"For those who love their daughters a little bit, they have to provide for their daughters' food, drink, and toilet. You can't let them say that a daughter who married in the past will eat and use theirs for the rest of her life."

As he spoke, Chang pointed to a list in his hand and showed it to Cheng Yuguan.

"This is your daily utensil. From the bedroom table to the screen soft couch, my mother has arranged it for you. I used the iron wood I collected in Bingzhou since you were a child. Although it is not expensive, it is very durable. .We have a first-class carpenter in our own family, and we promise to make it decent and convenient for you."

"And these fabrics."

Chang picked up another dowry list and handed it to Cheng Yuguan.

"Thirty bolts of silk and satin each. You don't need to save the bottom of the box. Except for some high-quality makeup satin and silk, other materials, you can buy bed curtains or give them to the servants. Don't press the bottom of the box. , faded, that would make people laugh."

"Besides, for people like us, except for the rare materials, we only use them in the current season and that year. It saves them from being out of fashion after a year, so we don't need to waste them, and others will be talked about if we reward them."

Cheng Yuguan couldn't help but twitch when he heard his mother's nagging.

"The servants of our family have not received a few rewards this year. My mother manages the family diligently and frugally, but let me be the God of Wealth, a boy from a scattered family."

Hearing this, Chang was taken aback for a moment, pointed at Cheng Yuguan and smiled.

"Okay, our God of Wealth has spoken, so let's make an exception. Somebody, go to the warehouse and take out the batch of gold-woven satin, and make a vest for everyone. On the day when the young lady gets married, everyone will wear it for a festive look." !"

"Yes, ma'am! Miss Xie!"

As soon as Chang's words fell, there was a maid beside her, booing and joining in the fun.

Cheng Yuguan felt shy at what his mother said, and couldn't help but blush a little.

Seeing this, the two sister-in-laws joked one after another.

"Our Yuguan has always been free and easy. It's rare to see you so gentle and shy."

Seeing Cheng Yuguan blushing, Mrs. Zhao joked.

"Yes. But it should be like this. I used to be careless, but after I got married, I realized it. We women, we still need to use more weak attitudes. It's not to make you really weak, but to use this method , what you want to do, you can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Qian's speech was as direct as ever.

"Look at your second brother. I talk to him on weekdays, but he always ignores it. But if I act like a coquettish casually, your second brother's bones will be crisp in an instant. I can do whatever I say."

As Qian said, she became more and more elated, clapped her hands, and said to Cheng Yuguan.

"That's why, this guy is one-sided and very stupid. If you use some tricks, he still won't listen to you obediently?"

"It's still late for me to understand. Listen to your sister-in-law to teach you a few tricks, which will be more effective. Let my husband listen to you obediently!"

Mrs. Zhao was suddenly caught by Mrs. Qian, she quickly glanced at her mother-in-law, and quickly stretched out her hand to grab Mrs. Qian who was talking about being happy.

Qian Shi was in high spirits when he was dragged by his sister-in-law suddenly, he was a little stunned and said in a puzzled way.

"Sister-in-law, why are you dragging me? We are all a family, and we are all women, so we understand! There is nothing we can't say!"

Qian said carelessly.

Mrs. Zhao smiled awkwardly, looking at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

"No, I mean, today is to prepare a dowry for Yuguan. Don't talk so much about your private house. It doesn't have to make Yuguan blush, I can't listen anymore."

Qian didn't notice Zhao's wink, and just waved his hand.

"Hey, sooner or later. Seeing that Yuguan is getting married soon, these words are all based on my experience."

With that said, Mrs. Qian took Cheng Yuguan's hand.

"Little sister, you may feel embarrassed at the moment, but you have to keep it in your heart. Men are stubborn donkeys, and they will go backwards if they can't be led. You have to have a way and a means to live a smooth life, you know?"

"cough!"

Seeing that Mrs. Qian couldn't hold her mouth, Mrs. Zhao coughed hard.

"All right!"

Seeing Qian's face is unclear, so her mother-in-law Chang came out and said.

"Everyone is their own fate. How can anyone copy the relationship between husband and wife?"

Chang's tone of voice was strange, and Qian suddenly realized that the way she said to deal with her husband was to deal with her mother-in-law Chang's own son.

When his mother asked how to deal with his son, Qian suddenly understood and felt a little embarrassed.

The matter of preparing the dowry for Cheng Yuguan came to an unexplained end in an awkward atmosphere.

Qian's and Zhao's two sisters-in-law only shied away and said another day, and then quickly took the opportunity to slip away.

Chang smiled wryly, and handed the dowry list to Cheng Yuguan.

"You are the big shopkeeper of the shop. It stands to reason that settling the dowry list is just a trivial matter for you. Mother is nothing but worrying in front of you."

Chang handed the list to Cheng Yuguan and ordered it to arrive.

"Mother knows that you don't like to be fussy, but some people are the most shameless, and they are the best at getting things done. If you don't care about it, she thinks you are stupid and she is shrewd."

"For this kind of person, you have to be penny-pinching and tear her apart completely."

Chang's words were earnest, and Cheng Yuguan nodded after listening.

"Mother's words, I understand."

Immediately, Cheng Yuguan wrote a letter and called Liu Yun over.

"Send it to Chenghou Mansion."

Seeing this, Chang nodded in relief.

People, be tolerant when they should be tolerant, and care about when they should be careless, so that they can live smoothly.

It is good that Cheng Yuguan listens to persuasion.No matter what the final result was, the mother and daughter didn't think that the Chenghou Mansion would hand over the dowry without hesitation.The purpose of Chang's and Cheng Yuguan's is to beat Yang's mother and daughter.

Cheng Yuguan looked relaxed here, Yang and Cheng Yulou felt that the sky was getting dark when they received Cheng Yuguan's "death warning" letter.

"Mother, I will become a sister-in-law with Cheng Yuguan, so I can't lower her head because of this. Otherwise, will I not be able to hold my head up in front of her for the rest of my life?!"

Cheng Yulou thought about it for a long time, and he had already thought of the shameful scene where she was held in front of Cheng Yuguan in front of Cheng Yuguan, because of the dowry of money, and stepped on her feet at the family banquet in the palace.

This is naturally unacceptable to Cheng Yulou, who has always been self-confident.

Naturally, Mrs. Yang didn't want her own daughter, Mrs. Gao Xian's daughter, but the dowry had already been squandered by the manor.

The remaining bits and pieces were obviously not enough to satisfy Cheng Yuguan.

Yang's eyeballs rolled, and finally made up his mind, looking at Cheng Yulou.

"Mom, have you thought of a way?"

Sensing his mother's gaze, Cheng Yulou asked with hope.

Yang held her daughter's hand.

"Yulou, you have married the fifth prince. In the past, you had to pay attention to dignity in front of the fifth prince. Now, there is no need to separate. What should be said is still to be said. He will give you the bottom line, so that there will be troubles when the time comes. , the whole family and the fifth prince are humiliated together."

Yang's eyes were fixed on Cheng Yulou and he said.

Cheng Yulou couldn't accept it at first, but under his mother's earnest gaze, Cheng Yulou had no choice but to nod.

"Daughter will try as mother said."

Cheng Yulou seemed to have made up his mind to break the boat.

Yang nodded in satisfaction.

Mrs. Yang looked lively in the mansion, but she was actually a paper tiger.

Up and down the Chenghou Mansion, the only real person in charge is the old lady who is hiding in the "Buddhist Hall".

...

In the palace, Cheng Yulou was about to leave the palace with joy and joy on the surface.

"Miss, I didn't expect the fifth prince to be so righteous. Today, it can be called "deep love and righteousness", right?"

Cheng Yulou looked distressed and begged in front of him.

The fifth prince seemed to have expected it long ago, and calmly opened his mouth, taking the dowry list on his shoulders.

"Give me the list, and you don't have to worry about the rest in the future."

Thinking of the happiness of the fifth prince, Cheng Yulou really felt like someone was backing him today.And this reliance happens to be her future husband-in-law.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yulou lowered his head and smiled.My heart is sweet.

Seeing how sweet the young lady is, Qinghe felt a bit of sourness in her heart, but at the same time, she was especially happy for the young lady and also for herself.

Because her whereabouts are also with the Fifth Prince.

...

The master and the servant left the palace, walked for a long time, and met Bai Xiaoling at the gate of Nanyi.

Seeing that he could leave the palace city after passing through a gate, Cheng Yulou didn't want to make trouble, nodded lightly, and started to leave.

"I didn't expect my sister's family to be so difficult. If I had known, I wouldn't have run on you so much before. I have always been the kindest person."

Seeing that Cheng Yulou was about to leave, Bai Xiaoling stopped leisurely and spoke in a slow tone.There was a hint of condescension in the slightly raised voice.

Cheng Yulou stopped in his tracks for an instant, and looked at Bai Xiaoling with a serious expression.

She didn't expect that she had just asked the fifth prince for help, and in a blink of an eye, Bai Xiaoling came to mock him face to face.

This situation embarrasses her, but she can't believe it.

Could it be that Bai Xiaoling was by her side when she spoke just now?

Cheng Yulou couldn't help but guess.

But at this moment, Bai Xiaoling took out a banknote from the sleeve cage, handed it to the maid, nodded her chin, and signaled the maid to give the banknote to Cheng Yulou.

Bai Xiaoling's girl bowed her head and smiled, and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Cheng Yulou.Squatting slightly, he said respectfully.

"Miss Cheng Er, please accept it with a smile. This is also our lady's wish."

Looking at the banknote in front of him, Cheng Yulou felt his face burning.

I don't know if it's because of my predicament being understood, or because this maid said "Second Miss Cheng".

She has always been "Miss Cheng", only she can call Cheng Yuguan "big sister".Naturally, there is her little thought in it.

Unexpectedly, now, he was returned by someone and called "Second Miss".

If I had known, in Cheng Yulou's heart, there was only one "Miss Cheng", and that was herself.

And Cheng Yuguan is nothing more than a "big sister".

Now being called "Second Miss" by a maid in person, Cheng Yulou not only stiffened his face, but also unconsciously felt a trace of hatred in his heart.

Just when Bai Xiaoling's master and servant thought Cheng Yulou would not accept this "humiliation", Cheng Yulou stretched out his hand, took the bank note, and shook it, He looked at Bai Xiaoling.

"Thank you, Miss Bai, for your generosity. It really is a friend in need. In the past, Miss Bai didn't like me, and I thought you hated me in my heart. I didn't expect to be the first to lend a helping hand at this time. Another day, I will definitely be with the Fifth Prince, Let’s thank you together.”

Seeing Cheng Yulou adjust so quickly, Bai Xiaoling's expression of watching the show stopped, and he suddenly felt dull.

Looking Cheng Yulou up and down, Bai Xiaoling put away his interest.

"Forget it, it's just a bank note, and it's not a rare item in Mrs. Hou's dowry list. No one is short of these three melons and two dates, but such good things are hard to find. Second Miss Cheng, or Take care of yourself. Let's go!"

Bai Xiaoling called the servant girl back, didn't see Cheng Yulou's embarrassment, and wanted to leave in a dull manner.

Both of them came out of the harem, so naturally they were going in the same direction.

Seeing the master and servant leaving, Cheng Yulou, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly broke off the beads in his hand and scattered them all over the place.

Cheng Yulou is aloof and self-reliant, the jewelry on his body looks simple, but it is made of the best material.

The color is fresh and elegant, but the texture is hard and the beads are round and jade-run.

When she landed suddenly, she jumped up and down the ground lively, and Bai Xiaoling, who passed by her with her head held high, was caught off guard and stepped on.

"Hey…"

Suddenly stepping on the smooth beads under his feet, Bai Xiaoling tilted his feet, let out an exclamation, and became unstable.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoling wanted to reach out to the servant girl to support him, but the servant girl was also immersed in the pride of stimulating the famous "number one talented woman" in the capital, and her mind was uneasy.

She was even more unstable than Miss Bai Xiaoling.

The two supported each other and pulled them down, and they both fell down.

The noble lady who had a neat strand of hair suddenly fell to the ground. This embarrassing appearance made the guards who looked like wooden figures beside her couldn't help but look sideways.

At this moment, apart from the pain in his feet, Bai Xiaoling's face was more burning.

She has been noble since she was a child, and she has never been ashamed as she is today.

"Ah, Miss Bai, how are you? It's all my fault. I wear this bracelet again and again, but I didn't expect the rope to break at this moment."

"However, since Sister Bai knew that the Cheng family's family was in a difficult situation, she specially sent a banknote to relieve the siege. It must be understandable. After all, it is very expensive to replace the jewelry of the daughter's family. The Cheng family can't afford it now."

Cheng Yulou bent down, as if he was going to help someone, but stopped in mid-air, looking at Bai Xiaoling's master and servant, but didn't reach out.

There was also a strange expression in his mouth, and he returned all the taunts Bai Xiaoling had just made.

Bai Xiaoling sat on the ground, feeling the pain in his foot, feeling like he might have sprained it.

But his eyes were fixed on Cheng Yulou.

"You deliberately..."

Bai Xiaoling's maid opened her mouth to criticize, but was interrupted by Bai Xiaoling's sudden wave of her hand.

The maid looked back at the young lady, but found that Bai Xiaoling's expression was not angry, but only a pair of eyes, as deep as ink.

Bai Xiaoling looked deeply at Cheng Yulou who was bending over to watch the play.

"Of course I can understand that Miss Cheng's family is in a difficult situation. Today, I trampled on the beads on your hand, and you can't use them anymore. Tomorrow, I will give Miss Cheng a new one."

　The past two days have been busy with work, and I will try my best to resume daily updates.
