Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 345

Hui An was taken aback, hesitated for a while, and then took the purse, which contained at least three or 4000 taels of banknotes. Huian frowned, and Wen Jingxin said: "Second brother means to tell me to hide it. Looking at you, I just said that I brought it to you to add makeup, but I thought it would be better to tell you about it."

Hui An then pursed her lips and looked at Wen Jingxin, asking, "This is?"

"The second elder brother won those when he returned to the Guozijian to compete with Taixue last time... The second elder brother withheld the money he bet that day, but these are net wins. You keep it, and the money stays with him It's also hot."

Hearing Wen Jingxin's bluntness, Hui'an couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and then asked, "Does Sister Nie know about this?"

Wen Jingxin nodded and said, "Don't worry, Second Brother will not hide anything from Second Sister-in-law. Second Sister-in-law also knew about the gambling back then, and this is what Second Sister-in-law meant."

Hui'an was taken aback when he heard the words, held the purse and smiled wryly, then put it away, Wen Jingxin asked Hui'an about the past two years outside, so he didn't stay any longer, just called out with a smile She went to find herself in the future, and then left.

Hui'an tossed and tossed all the way, took a bath, slept, had dinner with Tong Shi and Xu Shi, and moved into the Nuan Pavilion to talk.

"The ready-made furniture is expensive and the materials are not good, and I couldn't buy the one I wanted by chance, so I thought about it early in the morning. As soon as the new house was tidied up, Qiao Butler So I personally took someone to measure the size, but there was a shortage of good wood in the past two years. I discussed with Mother Fang early in the morning that there was not enough time, so all the furniture was made of wenge, which looked neat and saved trouble. Careful workmanship, style, and a lot of effort can show your identity. But when I saw the dowry list of the Guanfu that day, I changed my mind. The thousand-work bed, the front table, the red cabinet, the dressing table, etc. The inner room guys in the inner room are going to find all the rosewood. Those outside the room, such as the painting table, the Eight Immortals table, and armchairs, and the less important inner room furniture such as bedside cabinets and hangers, I am afraid that they will not be able to find so much rosewood. , I used huanghuali. As for small objects such as spring stools, toilets, and children and grandchildren barrels, it doesn’t have to be too good. It can be made of chicken wing wood. All the corresponding objects are all found wood and made by wood and Xuan’s work. The styles are all I took the picture album over there, and my aunt and Nanny Fang chose it together, and I will ask someone to come back to change it tomorrow, so you can have a look at it and see which one is not to your liking, and change it as soon as possible."

Hui An blushed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "No, can An Niang not trust the eyes of aunt and wet nurse? Besides, let's talk about this matter... According to the rules, it's not up to An Niang to talk, Auntie, don't make fun of An Niang." Damn."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Tong smiled, then took a sip of tea, and said: "This man is married when he is a college student, and his daughter is married when he is a college student. There is no reason to be shy and avoid it. You will use these things frequently in the future. If you drink them every day If you don't like it, you will suffer if you don't take advantage of it, you listen to your aunt, our family doesn't like that rule."

Seeing that Hui An nodded, she said again: "I thought that the Fengyang Hou Mansion was all yours. If you marry someone in the future, you will have to accompany them there. This dowry is just a formality. That's all, there's no need to be too serious. Auntie and Nanny Fang started to arrange things as usual. I didn't expect the dowry list from Guanfu to surprise my aunt. My aunt asked Butler Qiao to make a rough calculation. To say the least, there are 8 taels of silver, and there are three big boxes of longan-sized Dongzhu, not to mention those precious porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. This dowry is determined according to whether the man’s dowry is rich, so As a result, the ones that Auntie and Nanny Fang prepared for you earlier are no longer available, and a small storeroom has been opened for ornaments, antiques, jewelry, heads...another 24 loads were added, plus those big items It's almost enough for decoration."

As Tong said, she glanced at Nanny Fang, and Nanny Fang handed Hui An a brochure. Hui An looked at it and saw that there were clothes for the four seasons, antique calligraphy and paintings, precious decorations, bed bedding, etc. on it. It was too thick to finish, so Hui An opened his mouth and said with a distressed face after a while: "This has to be emptied for the Hou Mansion!"

Qingping covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Look at what the girl said, it seems that the Hou's Mansion is the girl's home, and the dowry is moved to the Guan's Mansion, and it will fall into the hands of others."

Tong Shi also laughed, "The Hou's family has a lot of wealth, so how could they just evacuate it, and besides, this thing is just stored in another warehouse. It's not all your things, look at your worthless!"

Hui An closed the list with a pout, and said in a muffled voice, "Since they are all the same, why bother moving them around?"

Mrs. Tong glared at Hui An, and then said: "There is still a list of clothes, Nanny Fang, give it to this girl quickly."

Hui'an's eyes were dizzy from this list, and Tong Shi had already said, "I have to invite Yunshangzhai to make the corresponding clothes. Now that you are back, this matter can't be delayed. Today Forget it, Minger's aunt sent someone to Yunshangzhai to get the pattern booklet, and the embroiderer also invited them from them. Seeing that there are not many days left, ten or so may not be enough, so I just invite two. It's ten, I'm afraid I have to choose another choice for the style of the head and face..."

Hui'an looked at the thick list of clothes in a daze for a while, seeing that Tong was going to continue, she interrupted her with a wry smile, and said, "I'm growing up now, why do I have to make so many clothes? The capital city looks different every year, and this year's clothes are fancy, but next year they won't be able to wear them again. It's better to save the money and make them when you need them, and you can't wear them without my clothes. In my opinion, this kind of clothes can be made twice. A set is enough, I can’t wear too much.”

Before Mrs. Tong heard the words, Mother Fang shook her head first, and said, "How can we only make two sets of dowry clothes? I've never seen anything like this. It's not that our Fengyang Marquis has no money. After all, the girl is young. This Clothes are not made to be worn, but to be seen by others. If there are too few made, no one will make people look down upon them. But this matter can’t be left to the girl’s temper.”

Tong Shi laughed, and said: "What An Niang said is true, I see her growing up really fast, and she will be underestimated if she is married in the future and has the Fengyang Marquis Mansion! Don't worry about it." To put it bluntly, instead of making only six sets of spring clothes, autumn clothes, and auspicious clothes, make more summer clothes and make twelve sets, and make eight pairs of corresponding shoes and socks according to the season, and the inner clothes are made in the yard. The girls have done it, and made more according to the material season, but this is indispensable, if there are fewer clothes, add more good materials."
