Daughter Raiders

Chapter 290 The Dowry
Brother Pan's crying is the child's reluctance after all, and it can't be a reason to stop his sister from getting married anyway.It is said that in the twelfth lunar month, Wanran returned from her natal home to Uncle Suning's mansion, and told her mother-in-law what her natal grandmother meant, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Suning, also quickly fed back the words of the Su family to Mrs. Zhenbeihou. This time, he went to the door of the Su Mansion in person during the first month. After the first month, Madam Zhenbei Hou began to send people to buy dowry gifts, and then discuss the wedding day with the Su family in detail when she was about to give the engagement.

"Our family has always been an old rule. The girl can take away all the dowry gifts. You can make up your own mind." One morning in mid-February, the old lady briefly looked at the dowry gift list sent by the Mu family, and took it away. It was returned to the third wife, Yu Shi.

"As for the date of marriage, it's okay to discuss it slowly. If I say it, it's better to give Sister Tao a gift at home before going out. What do you think? In this way, I will marry Sister An in April, and Xiao Xiao in August. Sister, Sister Tao's wedding date should be set at least after the end of September, so as to save your sister-in-law from being too busy and tired."

Yu responded with a smile, not forgetting to say that her mother-in-law still loves her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.But when the old lady's voice changed, she asked about Tao Ran's dowry: "Since she was driven from left to right, she and her two older sisters came together for a year... just the ones I saved since I was a child, and I need to buy the rest right now." For things like clothing materials and jewelry, why don't you go to your sister-in-law to discuss the regulations?"

"If you can buy these things together with her two sisters, because of the large quantity, you can save a lot of money, right?"

Whether the Su family is marrying a daughter or hiring a daughter-in-law, the public has a regular distribution of money.But this is only a small part, and the other part has to be bought by each house owner for the children. It would be good if it could be saved.

"This is really a good idea. If you hadn't reminded me, my daughter-in-law wouldn't have remembered it." Yu agreed with a busy smile.

Sister Yan is gone, she only has one daughter left, Sister Tao, and the official positions of the old master and her own master are there, and they are all fat jobs. The most important thing in the family is money, and she can still lose money Sister Tao can't do it?
"My daughter-in-law has something else I want to discuss with my mother." Yu suddenly lowered her voice: "You also know... Although Sister Yan is gone, the things I saved are still there. If you give all of them to Sister Tao, Could it be... a little unlucky?"

Yu has never married a girl, and her natal family is not nearby, so she can discuss this matter with the old lady.It's not impossible to discuss with the eldest wife, but the eldest wife also wants to marry a daughter, and she also needs to take care of sister Xiao's affairs for the second wife. Even if the second wife Yuan is there to help, how can the old lady be free? .

The old lady could hear that Yushi really didn't understand, so she told her with a smile: "The dowry is different from the dowry, and Brother Pan is still young. When he gets married, I'm afraid the things you saved will also be given to him." It’s useless, as long as you’re willing, it’s fine even if you give it to Sister Tao.”

"As for those who say it's auspicious or unlucky, whose name is not written on the dowry, could it be left to rot at home?"

"I gave some of the dowry I saved for your eldest aunt when she got married, and now I share some of the rest. Sister Tao also has a share. When I turn back, I will ask Mama Tong to take you with me. Some people go to the library to order some, and I happened to order the dowry I added to Sister Tao from my private house, and then ask people to write it on her dowry list."

Mrs. Yu thanked the old lady for her daughter, then left the Pine Age Hall, and went back to her own yard to concentrate on taking care of Tao's dowry; How are you taking care of some useful things for a few girls from my dowry?"

The old lady has no daughters, and the dowry back then was quite generous, so it doesn't feel bad to share some with her granddaughters now.As for what the children and grandchildren deserved, it would have to wait a hundred years before she shared it, and now was not the time to spread the wealth.

"It's all taken care of, and I'm just waiting for your instructions to see if the Fourth Miss will send it over, or ask the eldest wife and the Fourth Miss to come and check it." Mother Tong is in charge of the old lady's private treasury. The child is none other than her.

"You're the old man I'm used to, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to fill your own pockets, so I still need to ask the two of them to check? Give her as much as you want, and she can't think less?" The old lady waved her hand with a smile Just ask Mama Tong to send someone to do it.

She did tell Yu Shi just now that she asked Yu Shi to send someone to give some of the share to Sister Tao.That's how it works for different people...

When the old lady and Mrs. Yu were talking about Tao Ran's dowry, Tao Ran was also looking at his private house in the Huawu Garden—since the Mu family's betrothal gift has arrived, even if the wedding date has not yet been fixed, they will not be able to leave this year, so hurry up I know how many private houses I have, and I have a spectrum in my heart.

It's just that Tao Ran is a girl who didn't leave the cabinet after all, and Su's family is also an official and not a merchant. Except for asking Mu Huan to buy a few pieces of land in Suizhong for her, she has never been involved in the economy, and now she can get it. What was sold was nothing more than some banknotes given by her father when she was in Liaodong, the few land deeds, and the jewelry and headgear that the elders have rewarded in recent years.

Tao Ran is not too little.This is her, she has been to Liaodong, and dared to order Mu Huan, replaced by An Ran and Xiao Ran, and I am afraid that there are not many private houses, so she asked someone to rub the ink with a smile, and wrote down the things she owned. After writing it down in a small notebook, I locked the bank note land deed back into the box.

"Miss, are you afraid that your private accounts and dowry will be mixed up?" Su Xue, who was waiting on the pen and ink, asked with a smile, "Actually, these are not all yours, why do you have to write them down separately?"

"Besides the dowry, there are many things that cannot be recorded in the account. How can it be done if you don't record it clearly?" Tao Ran smiled and handed the booklet that he had just written to Su Xue, "The person around me is you who can read the most, and you are also good at keeping accounts." It's convenient, when I come to Mu's house in the future, you can take care of these private accounts...and the dowry for me."

Su Xue's smile froze, and the hand that had been stretched out to pick up the account book also stopped in mid-air.

The master has already given Leng Yue to the girl. Leng Yue is older than her, so she should act more appropriately, but now the girl never mentions it, and instead entrusts her with the dowry?

"Why, you still find it hot to handle such a good job?" Tao Ran laughed.

Seeing that Suxue hesitated to answer, Tao Ran raised her brows high: "I told you to continue! I have already asked the old lady to take your whole family as companions. When the time comes, your father and elder brother will take care of the outside for me." If you don’t hand over the accounts to you, and ask someone else to reconcile the accounts with your father for me?”
