Qing Chuan's favorite concubine side Fujin

Chapter 23 Dowry One
The emperor has decreed a marriage, and everyone in the Guarjia family is preparing a dowry for Wanyuan.

The first-class maids around Wan Yuan, except Mulan, were old enough. Wan Yuan took the initiative to marry Mulan to the son of housekeeper Zhou and went to the countryside to manage Zhuangzi for Wan Yuan.

The remaining hibiscus, magnolia and kapok, as well as Nanny Ye, all married into Sibeile Mansion along with Wanyuan.

Wan Yuan is busy sorting out her property here. Tong Jia sent someone over to say, "Ge Ge, madam, please come over. Madam said she has something to discuss with Ge Ge."

"Okay, let's go now." Wan Yuan asked Mu Jin and the others to continue their work, while Grandma Ye accompanied her to Er Niang's yard.

Wan Yuan came to Tong Jia's yard. As soon as she entered the door, she saw boxes of various sizes placed in the room. Tong Jia was sitting on a chair looking through her account books.

"Eniang." Wan Yuan came to Tong Jia's side and saluted.

"Yuanyuan is here, no need to be polite, come sit next to E Niang." Tong Jiashi pulled Wanyuan to sit down, motioned for everyone to go out, and closed the door casually.

"Yuanyuan, look what's recorded in this account book is your dowry, as well as the gold and silver jewelry in these boxes in the room. Take a closer look and tell me if there's anything missing."

Wanyuan took the account book and looked through it, then raised her head and glanced around the boxes in the room, "Mother, that's enough. There's nothing missing."

"What's enough is enough. In E Niang's eyes, these things are too little!" Tong Jia stood up and took out all the account books from the drawer and placed them in front of Wan Yuan. "These are all properties under E Niang's personal name. , they are all Zhuangzi shops. If you don’t want to exchange them for silver, then you can stay as a dowry. In addition to E Niang’s, it’s your duty to prepare a dowry for you. The list will be placed in his study. We will go over there later. take."

Wan Yuan smiled helplessly and held Tong Jia's hand, "Mother, I also own a village and shop, so there is no need to give me so much."

"It's one thing for you to have it yourself, but it's another thing for E Niang and Amma to give it to you. Besides, when this woman gets married, the richer the dowry, the more confidence she will have!" Tong Jiashi stroked Wanyuan's cheek , then said: "Yuanyuan, you are E Niang's only daughter, so E Niang must give you the best so that you can get married happily!"

Wanyuan looked at E Niang thinking about her, and her eyes instantly filled with tears. In her previous life, she did not experience family affection, but in this life, God made up for her and allowed her to meet a warm family and a loving mother.

Wan Yuan held back her tears and smiled, "Yuan Yuan listens to E Niang."

With a smile on her face, Tong Jia continued to say to Wan Yuan: "Let's keep half of these Zhuangzi shops and exchange half of them. We will exchange those shops that are not in prime locations for silver. Zhuangzi will use them as dowries, so we won't use them for the time being." Move it, and E Niang will transfer all these things to your name as soon as possible."

After Tong Jia finished talking about the dowry arrangements, she then told Wan Yuan about the fourth master's backyard. Tong Jia was still a little worried that her daughter would be wronged if she married in the future. "My mother and Mama have told you about the situation in the fourth master's backyard before when we were in the front yard, but today I still have to tell you some important information, otherwise my mother will not be at ease."

Wan Yuan hugged E Niang's arm and leaned on her body, listening quietly to what E Niang said.

"The fourth master's direct descendant, Fujin, was Ulanala, and he gave birth to his legitimate son. However, the child's body was weak and he always drank soup and medicine. The person who gave birth to the fourth master's child was Li. Gege, who has a son and a daughter, can be said to be favored in the backyard, but her family background is lower and she is from the Han family. As for the other concubines, Gege, they can't achieve anything big, but they can't be underestimated." Mother, how do you know so much?" Wan Yuan looked up at Tong Jia and asked.

Tong Jia smiled and tapped Wan Yuan's forehead with her finger, "The fourth master is the son of the imperial concubine, and she knows her son better than her mother. Naturally, the imperial concubine will tell her what she knows, so we are sisters from the same mother!"

"In other words, every move in the fourth master's backyard cannot escape the eyes of my aunt!"

"Inseparable, the imperial concubine can live safely in the harem, a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. Her scheming and methods are naturally superior to those of the fourth master. Besides, a prince's backyard is much simpler than the emperor's harem. , there are only a few women in the prince’s backyard who must pass by!”

After listening to Tong Jia's words, Wan Yuan praised her and said, "As expected of the noble concubine, she is a clever and master!"

"As the emperor's pillow, it is natural that he is worse than his master." After Tong Jiashi sneered, she introduced the topic, and then talked about Wan Yuan's matter, "Xi Fujin can bring four first-class people with him when he enters the palace. There are maids and a nanny, and Mulan beside you is already married, and there are only three of the four first-class maids. I think it is better to bring up the second-class maid Muxiang to complete the number."

"Every daughter listens to my mother-in-law."

"These maids around you have been serving you since they were children. Their loyalty is certain, and they are all good at a craft, which will naturally come in handy in the future. As for the second- and third-class maids, they will wait until you marry into the fourth master's backyard. , Fourth Master or Fujin will make arrangements for you, Yuanyuan you have to be careful when the time comes, she will definitely not be one of our own."

"Mom, my daughter is in charge of the house. She knows all the twists and turns in this backyard, who is a chess piece and who can be used. My daughter will have a way to solve it." Wanyuan gave Tong Jia a guarantee and asked Tong Jiashi is relieved.

"Of course E Niang believes in you, but E Niang has to tell you a truth. You can't guarantee that you will be foolproof in anything you do, so you have to leave yourself a back-up to help you at the critical moment." Tong Jia said sincerely Said to Wanyuan.

"I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will cut the grass and roots to prevent future troubles!"

When Tong Jia heard what Wanyuan said, she smiled with satisfaction, "Yuanyuan is right to think so. In a backyard with many women, there is only a relationship of interest between people. There are no absolute allies and no absolute enemies!"

"From now on, Yuanyuan, if you give birth to Fourth Master's child, especially a boy, it will mean that you are blocking the way of women in the backyard, especially the direct descendants of Fujin. You two must have the same family background!"

The corner of Wan Yuan's mouth rose, "Mother, from the moment the emperor decreed the marriage, my direct descendant Fujin and I were destined to have a hostile relationship, but my daughter is not worried about this. She must capture the heart of a man in this era. Having pets and children is more important than anything else.”

"Yuanyuan, the fourth master's favor is suddenly important, but you must not be tempted by the fourth master. As the old saying goes, the most ruthless family belongs to the emperor..."

"There is never a pair of people in the emperor's family!"
