Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 132 Dowry
Jiang Shunian asked Jiang Ming to go to all the rice and grain shops in Kyoto and inquire. There were no chestnuts for sale on the market. He was also very surprised that Yunlang could bring such high-quality chestnuts.

He looked at Yun Lang, who was particularly eager to talk, with questioning eyes, signaling him to tell him the reason quickly, so that he could ask him how to store chestnuts to keep them fresh, and save more for his wife next year.

"Speaking of which, my cousin Zheng Yuan is also related to your wife. She also likes to eat chestnuts;
My cousin, Prince Fucheng, has always been obedient and doting on my cousin. He has gone to great lengths for this preference of my cousin. "

In order to keep the chestnuts fresh and sweet, Prince Cheng asked someone to study the method of storing chestnuts. He heard that they had to be refrigerated in an ice well.

Jiang Shunian had heard about the current emperor's younger brother, Prince Cheng, but had never come into contact with him. He really didn't know that this prince loved his wife, Princess Cheng, so much.

Seeing Jiang Shunian's eyebrows lowered in deep thought, Yun Lang emphasized again that it was not easy for him, "I am a very talkative and shameless person, so I asked for these from Prince Cheng; it was my cousin who begged my cousin-in-law to agree because he felt sorry for me. "

What Yun Lang didn't say was that eating too many chestnuts would cause abdominal distension. His cousin Zheng Yuan was pregnant, and Prince Cheng was very strict with her diet. In fact, he wanted to give all the chestnuts to Yun Lang;

It was just that neither of them dared to blatantly take away Zheng Yuan's chestnuts in front of Princess Cheng Zheng Yuan, so the two of them acted out a show of asking me not to give it to Princess Cheng Yuan.

Although Zheng Yuan was born in the Duke of Qi's palace and was the legitimate wife of Prince Cheng, and had been pampered since she was a child, she was not ignorant of her sense of propriety;
Seeing that she was pregnant and couldn't eat the sweet chestnuts, she simply gave them to her cousin Yun Lang who was in urgent need of them.

Jiang Shunian didn't know Yunlang's experience of begging for chestnuts. He was very moved by the hard work his good brother had to do for his words, and ordered Jiang Ming to quickly give Yunlang a jar of the osmanthus wine he had collected from Zhidong.

Yunlang has always been on good terms with Jiang Shunian. Ever since Tang Bingxuan started letting Zhidong make wine and would give it to Jiang Shunian to taste from time to time, Yunlang became a good brother and highly praised Zhidong's winemaking skills.

Now, Yun Lang not only got a favor from Jiang Shunian, but also got a favor from his cousin, Prince Fucheng, by accident. Now he got a jar of good wine, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Yun Lang found his voice and patted Jiang Shunian on the shoulder with a smile on his face, "Brothers are loyal, haha..."

Jiang Shunian, who was still injured, did not expect to be slapped on the shoulder by Yun Lang. He had no idea for a moment, and the wound opened again, and Jiang Shunian hissed in pain.

Yun Lang, who was extremely happy and sad, quickly helped Jiang Shunian to the bed in the inner room, called Jiang Ming to get the wound medicine, and hurriedly re-bandaged Jiang Shunian's wound.

Seeing Jiang Shunian take off his outer robe, revealing his blood-stained white undershirt, Yun Lang clasped his fists in embarrassment to apologize, "I'm sorry, brother. I really didn't mean it."

Jiang Shunian understood that Yun Lang made an unintentional mistake, but in this case, the wound would have to be taken good care of.

...

The day after Changping Bo's wife Chen came to visit Yongninghou Mansion, Yongning Hou went to the main courtyard again and expressed his approval to Changping Bo's son Li Chong and his daughter Jiang Tian's marriage to his wife Qiao.

Mrs. Qiao, the wife of Marquis Yongning, was not surprised to hear that Marquis Yongning had completely opposite thoughts than yesterday. After all, this marriage was planned by Jiang Tian. Aunt Zhao, the interpreter, would not let go of this marriage and would definitely convince Yongning. Hou.

Yongning Hou Jiangfeng was a gentleman with a kind-hearted and courteous temperament. He always had rules regarding respect for his concubines and subordinates. He was very stubborn about some things, but he was also extremely soft-hearted. He was a very contradictory person. Qiao had become accustomed to it over the past twenty years.

"Then I will ask someone to deliver a message to the Changping uncle's house today?" Mrs. Qiao means that she hopes to marry off her concubine Jiang Tian as soon as possible. One is that Li Chong, the prince of Changping, is not young, and the other does not want Jiang Ming to stay. Yongning Houfu, alienating her daughters-in-law.

I didn't know what Jiang Tian used to instigate the second daughter-in-law Mei, but the alliance between Xiao and Mei's sisters-in-law, who had always been consistent with external affairs, fell apart. Jiang Tian and Mei joined forces to fight against the eldest daughter-in-law Xiao for some time.

Mrs. Yongning Hou has been watching the dispute between the three people with a cold eye, and also hopes that the head of the Xiao family can experience it in the future;

But she didn't like the concubine trying to alienate her daughters-in-law in her territory, and Jiang Tian touched her bottom line.

It would be fine if Jiang Tian could get married early, but if he kept making trouble in the house, Mrs. Qiao would have to punish her.

Marquis Yongning agreed, "Well, just do as Madam wishes."

Now that Jiang Tian's marriage has been decided, Marquis Yongning thought of what Aunt Zhao mentioned yesterday about preparing a dowry for Jiang Tian, ​​and wanted to mention it to his wife, Mrs. Qiao. After all, Mrs. Qiao is the Marquis of Yongning, and Jiang Tian's marriage must be arranged by Qiao. Family management.

"Madam, Tian'er's dowry?"

Marquis Qiao's wife, Marquis Yongning, had already made plans for Jiang Tian's dowry. Now that Marquis Yongning mentioned it, she took advantage of the situation and finalized the regulations.

"Master Marquis, the rule in our house for the marriage of a concubine is that the father-in-law pays 3,000 taels of silver in a box, 200 acres of land, and two shops. As for the rest, it depends on the amount of subsidies from Master Marquis and Aunt Zhao."

Aunt Zhao was originally an orphan and took refuge in the Hou family. Her ancestral property had long been divided up by her cousins ​​in the family, and she basically had no dowry.

Therefore, Jiang Tian's dowry had to be subsidized privately by Yongning Hou Jiang Feng, but the Qiao family would not provide the public property, shops, etc.

"Madam, Tian'er is my only daughter after all, and she is marrying to an Earl's Palace. Is the dowry too small?"

Marquis Yongning understood that what Qiao was talking about was the customary rule of marrying off a daughter, but he couldn't bear the thought that Jiang Tian was his only daughter, so he wanted to provide more dowry.

Most of the land, shops and money of the Yongning Marquis Mansion belong to the three legitimate sons. The concubine Jiang Shutao can share part of it, but the concubine Jiang Tian will not receive an extra tael of silver as subsidy in addition to the dowry that the father-in-law should pay. .

Mrs. Qiao Shi, the Marquis of Yongning, said righteously: "Master Marquis, no matter what, Jiang Tian is a concubine, so she must abide by the rules of the house. This is the rule set by our ancestors;

If you feel sorry for the eldest lady, you might as well use your private house to subsidize me, and I will never interfere with my concubine. "

Since the death of the old Yongning Marquis, Yongning Marquis Jiang Feng and Ding You were at home, and he did not fill the vacancy in official positions. Except for the private houses in the past few years, he basically had the salary and silver from the Marquis title in recent years.

The Qiao family has always taken care of the Duke's property, and the Qiao family has never had any involvement in Yongning Hou's salary. In the past ten years, a lot of money should have been spent on Aunt Zhao, mother and son.

When Marquis Yongning said this, he expected that Mrs. Qiao would not give in, but he only harbored a little illusion;
He still had a lot of money in his hands, but he just thought that he would leave it to Aunt Zhao and her son after a hundred years, and hoped that Jiang Tian's dowry would be paid out in full.
