The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 71 Carrying the dowry

When Mrs. Yongjiahou saw her son acting like a drowned rat, she said disdainfully, "That woman has no respect for her elders and ignores her elders. This family cannot tolerate her!"

"Mom, she won't come back. You should be satisfied now!"

Mrs. Yongjiahou felt a little proud that the Sangmenxing finally didn’t have to come back anymore!
"She wants to make peace with me, now you are satisfied!" Zhao Yunzhang said again.

"Let's just make peace. What's the big deal? I'll find a better one for you in the future. My son can't find one." Mrs. Yongjiahou said unreasonably.

But soon, Mrs. Yongjiahou slapped her in the face.

Come and make peace with each other quickly. The first thing to be delivered is the woman’s dowry. Since the divorce has been made, the woman must take the dowry with her.

Regarding the issue of dowry, some things are easier to solve, such as land, shops, etc., just take the title deed and leave.

The most difficult thing is the dowry items, such as beds, furniture, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, etc. After all, these things have been used for such a long time, and it is hard to explain.

The nanny sent by the Cui family, whose surname was Liu, was tall and spoke in a rough voice. She took the dowry list and counted them one by one very seriously. If she counted the same items, she put them in the box.

Because Cui Mujin said not even a teacup would be left for the Zhao family!
Finally, Mammy Liu discovered that she was given as a dowry a set of rosewood carved wardrobes with fifty-four dense grids, a sandalwood carved dripping bed, a rosewood beauty couch with huanghuali carved dragons and green stone screens, and a set of ruby ​​headdresses. , a set of kiln-made colorful cups with small lids, an enamel colored baby's play double vase...their whereabouts are unknown.

"Mr. Zhao, what do you think we should do with these things? Since you two have reconciled, it will be difficult for us to account for these things if we don't take them back!" Aunt Liu showed Zhao Yunzhang the dowry list.

Zhao Yunzhang drank wine all night and was in a trance while lying on the bed. He cheered up and said, "You can do whatever you want. This Marquis Mansion is such a big place. Just go and find the place you can find!"

Aunt Liu said in a rough voice, "Old slave is also doing things under orders. If the master says this, then I will not be polite!"

"You get up first and move around! This bed is a dowry, and the old slave has to carry it away!"

Zhao Yunzhang sat up and waved his hands, "Carry them away, carry them away... Lift them all away..."

Aunt Liu shouted, and seven or eight women came in with great energy and dismantled the bed and carried it away!
"Take it, take it, it's best to take it all..." Zhao Yunzhang murmured, with tears on his face.

Mother Liu led people to Luo's courtyard again, "Mrs. Shizi, look at this dowry list. Several items on it belong to my girl. They are now in Mrs. Shizi's yard. Old Nute is here to ask for them back!"

"Why are these things in my yard?" As soon as Luo Shi finished speaking, the maid next to her tugged on her sleeves, "These things are indeed in your room,"

Luo Shi was shocked and took the dowry list over to look at it. At that time, she felt that the decoration in the house was not good, so she asked for it from Cui Mujin's dowry store.

Roche's face felt a little feverish.

"Madam, the second master has spoken, saying that the Cui family will take away all the items on the list!"

When Luo Shi heard what Zhao Yunzhang said, she looked angrily as her grandma and others carried away the ruby ​​​​head, screen, wardrobe and other things. She felt that her heart hurt like a knife.

This is the bed I am used to sleeping on! Once carried out like this, the room looks like a snow cave.

"What are you doing? How did you get into my yard?" Mrs. Yongjiahou saw several women coming in with poles in their hands, her eyes widened, "You can also come into my yard? There are no rules at all.”

"We came to the old lady's yard to look for my girl's dowry." "What are you doing in my yard looking for your girl's dowry? You despicable idiots! Get out of here!" Mrs. Yongjiahou scolded.

Aunt Liu had no choice but to send someone to invite Zhao Yunzhang. Zhao Yunzhang staggered in with a wine bottle in his hand, "You go in and get it. As long as it belongs to your girl, you can take it away! Don't worry about anything." people!"

Mrs. Yongjiahou dared not speak out when she saw her son like this, so Grandma Liu took several women in and carried away the big bed where Mrs. Yongjiahou was sleeping, the wardrobe and the vase. , and finally looked at the carpet on the ground. This carpet was also for the dowry, so he took the carpet away.

Only then did Mrs. Yongjia Hou realize that she had used a lot of Cui Mujin's things.

"Take it! Take it all! I don't care about the Cui family's things. If I leave your Cui family, I will find something better for my son!"

Looking at the empty room, Mrs. Yongjiahou said this, but she actually felt a little unhappy, especially since Grandma Liu took away her favorite pair of ruby ​​heads and faces, which were worth twenty thousand taels of silver.

There is no way, this is something belonging to the Cui family, Mrs. Yongjiahou cannot stop it, otherwise it will be spread that she is using her daughter-in-law's dowry, which is too embarrassing.

Aunt Liu curled her lips, using her daughter-in-law’s dowry, and she was so brazen! This mother-in-law is one of the rare best in the world.

Aunt Liu and a group of women went back with the dowry in a grand manner.

A few mornings later, Mrs. Yongjiahou found that she was eating ordinary bird's nest porridge. "Is there no blood bird's nest left?"

"There are no blood swallows in the house anymore. There are only ordinary bird's nests." said the little maid.

In the past few years, her mouth has been spoiled. There are indeed blood swallows in the house, but they were brought over by Cui Mujin from her own business.

Mrs. Yongjia Hou put down her chopsticks angrily and stopped eating.

Then she found that the tea she drank was not as good as before, and her clothes were not as gorgeous as before.

So he angrily questioned his daughter-in-law Luo Shi.

Luo Shi was originally the head of the family. Ever since Cui Mujin wanted to take away the money, Luo Shi wanted to deduct some money from the father-in-law. But now in the house, only the salary of the father-in-law and brother-in-law is left. Her husband supports several aunts and a copper plate. He couldn't get it back, so he asked the Hou Mansion for money to support his concubine.

Luo wanted to get some money, so he deducted money from the family's food and clothing expenses.

Mrs. Yongjia Hou found that her share had been withheld and her expenses had been reduced, so she began to question Luo. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often quarreled over this matter.

Mrs. Yongjiahou laughed at the fact that Luo's general came from a family and had no dowry.

"Don't you also have no dowry?" Luo Shi replied unceremoniously, "If my father hadn't saved the Marquis, what would your Zhao family have?"

"You dare to talk back to me?" Yongjia and his wife were very angry. They spent money lavishly, and without money they kept arguing all day long.

"Mother, don't think that I am Cui Mujin, a clay figurine who has a temper!" Luo Shi walked out with a face turned away.

Marquis Yongjia saw that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were quarreling so much that he simply lived in a separate courtyard with his aunt, leaving them alone to quarrel.
