Chapter 11 Gifts
After lunch, Wanli walked around the yard to eat and drink, and then she was served by Mother Feng to take an afternoon nap.

Close your eyes, still feel that all this is like a dream, it is very unreal.Let Wanli toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.

Unable to sleep on both sides, Wanli simply got up, called Mother Feng, and took the gift list brought by her cousin to check.

Luobei, named because it is located in the north of the Luohe River, has many rivers and ponds, so it has the title of the land of fish and rice in Dayong.

When my cousin came back from Luobei this time, most of the things she brought to Wanli were Luobei's specialties, some of which were edible and useful, and some small accessories that were not expensive but exquisite in style.Wanli's favorite is one of the woodcarved Sydney flower hanging screens.

People in the world love peonies and lotus flowers, but Wanli prefers pear flowers.

Wanli loved pear blossoms in her previous life because she lost her mother when she was born. Lihua, a homonym for "li", expresses Wanli's grief for her mother.

Now I feel that although the pear blossom has a soft appearance, it has a icy body and jade skin, and it is about to drip. And soft high unity.It's a pity to use pear blossoms as a metaphor for mourning.

And this hanging screen of pear blossoms is a scene of pear blossoms blooming, bustling and well-arranged, a thriving scene.It fit Wanli's mind.

It took a lot of thought to come to my cousin, and I wanted to tell myself not to be immersed in grief.

Wanli saw it, and hurriedly asked Mother Feng to arrange it, and asked someone to hang it in the most conspicuous place when entering the door.

I also sorted out some Luobei specialty food, picked them out, and ordered Ruobai to send them to various courtyards.

At the end of the sorting process, we found broken silver and banknotes.I thought it was afraid that people would see that I had chosen something, so I specially wrapped it in a jewelry box and cloth, which added up to hundreds of taels.

Cousin is the eldest son of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, entertainment is indispensable in normal times, and there are regulations in the mansion, so if you can save these things, you must save a lot of food and money.

Wanli looked at it and felt that it was very mixed.

Speaking of it, it is really ironic that I, a dignified concubine of the earl's mansion, has to rely on the relief of my grandfather's family to survive, while Xia Wanyun, a concubine's daughter, wears gold and silver every day.

In my last life, because I had no money, after marrying Mo Xuzhe, and after arriving at Prince Yuan's Mansion, I received countless blank stares.

Thinking of this, Wanli felt more and more that she couldn't sit still like this, and had to find a way to change the current situation.

"Mother Feng, when a woman leaves the court, do she have to bring her dowry with her?"

Wan Li asked casually.

"That's right, when a woman gets married, she has to accompany her dowry. This is a rule passed down from the ancestors," Mother Feng nodded and returned,

"Miss, why did you suddenly ask this?" Seeing that Wanli asked something strange, Mother Feng went on to say,

"No, I just thought of it suddenly." Wanli replied after being silent for a moment.

"Miss, you are still young. According to regulations, you will have at least 64 liters of dowry when you arrive." Mother Feng said with some comfort.

Wanli looked at Mama Feng, knowing that Mama Feng was worried that she might lose her dowry.That's why I told myself that I will at least have 64 dowries in the future, so that I don't have to worry about it.

Seeing this, Wanli smiled and said: "Mom, Wanli is curious. It is reasonable to say that her mother should have had a lot of dowry back then, but Wanli seems to have never heard of it."

"Madam's dowry is kept by the master. Maybe she didn't mention it because of her young age." Mother Feng replied.

"Madame and master were married by the emperor back then. The old general asked him to carry a dowry of [-] levies. Among the courtiers marrying daughters, this [-] levies were the most. The princess’s regulations are now in place, so it’s not an exaggeration to call her a ten-mile red makeup.”

Mother Feng seemed to be immersed in distant memories, smiling and talking to Wanli.

After hearing this, Wanli felt something was wrong.

In the last life, Mo Xuzhe, who I married, was the least favored among the princes, but he was also named king. According to the regulations, I should have at least one hundred and eight dowry.

But at that time, Mrs. Xue told herself that the Earl's Mansion was always struggling to make ends meet, so I asked myself to be more considerate, so only the first three of the [-] dowries were full, while the latter ones were at least half empty. .

It was the grandfather who secretly made up for himself after hearing this, so that he could save his face.I never saw my mother's dowry from beginning to end.

This is by no means like keeping it for her as Mother Feng said, but rather like taking all of her mother's dowry for herself and confiscating it from the public!

What a Xia Muyi and Xue Shi, they are really not afraid of embarrassment, after all, they are also a dignified earl, and they are so ashamed to take all of their wife's dowry for themselves.

Wanli thought, and couldn't help sneering in her heart.

Closing his eyes, many thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, but none seemed feasible.

After thinking about it, after all, I am still alone, weak and weak.

At this moment, it was Ruobai who came over.

"Miss, according to Miss's wishes, the maid gave the old lady eight-treasure sweet-scented osmanthus cake and red flower pasta to the old lady. The old lady was very happy to see it, and praised the lady for being the most filial."

After hearing this, Wanli smiled slightly. Eight-treasure osmanthus cake and red flower ruyi noodles are both unique foods in Luobei to nourish the body, and they are the most suitable gifts for grandma.

Mother Feng frowned slightly when she heard this, "Miss, you got these special products, and all the ladies and wives of the courtyard gave them to you. But why didn't you give them to Aunt Xue and Miss Wanyun?"

"What does Mother Feng think?" Wanli said without revealing her anger.

"This servant is talkative, but I just feel that Aunt Xue is still in the hands of the middle class in this mansion after all. This time, miss, it makes people think too much." Mother Feng said worriedly.

There was a faint sneer at the corner of Wanli's mouth, "What I want is to make people think more."

Looking up, she found that Ruobai was hesitant to speak, as if she had something to say, Wanli raised her hand, motioning for Ruobai to speak.

"Miss, I saw Qing He in the West Garden on the way back, and asked her where she went, but she hesitated."

In the West Garden, there are four places that Meixinyuan goes to through the West Garden. To the north is Grandma’s Fushou Hall, to the east is Father’s Zhengde Garden, Xue’s Fangfei Garden, and Xia Wanyun’s Lanxiang Pavilion.

It is impossible for Qinghe to find her father, and Fushou Hall is the direction Ruobai will return to, so there are only Fangfei Garden and Lanxiang Pavilion!
Sure enough, as soon as the wind blew out, someone couldn't wait to report the news.

Wanli straightened her body and yawned, her body was too weak, after working so hard for so long, she was really tired.
