Chapter 239 Demonstration

After thinking about it, she still felt that she asked Yao's mother to talk to the old lady about the dowry. She was not going to see how much was left in the dowry box, otherwise she might be angry.

Yao's mother walked through several corridors and then through the back garden. After arriving at the main room, she talked to the old lady about the dowry.

The old lady only felt unlucky recently and said coldly, "She doesn't have 20 boxes of dowry. Isn't it too little that we can't make it in our house!"

Yao's mother blessed and said, "The maidservant just went to count the things in the dowry box and found that 30,000 silver tickets were missing, and two strings of blood coral bracelets, a purple jade carved purple gas from the east, two blood coral hairpins, a pair of auspicious jade Ruyi, and..."

"Enough!" The old lady interrupted Yao's mother and said coldly, "I don't want the things of the ninth sister. Those things are all in my small warehouse. Just ask someone to move them. Why do you use this to respond to me, an old woman?"

"How dare the maidservant? After all, the young lady is going to marry to the Marquis of Anguo, and the dowry should not be shabby. Look at what you said, our lady is not a narrow-minded person. The young lady has said that even if the blood coral bracelet is filial to you, the blood coral hairpin is also given to the second wife, but those large items still have to be made up. Miss is a sensible person, and she can't take everything from your small warehouse. Hello, you are also the lady's direct grandmother.

Yao's mother secretly satirized the old lady, but the old lady couldn't refute it.

She knows what the situation is like in Xuefu. Several shops in Xue's house have been in a state of deficit over the years, and the expenses in the house are also very large. If it hadn't been for her status as a woman and some income from the second master, the whole Xue family would not have much money. It can be said that Xuefu is an empty shell, but such an empty shell is also profitable.

In the past, the old man's students would still send some big gifts, and everyone looked at the name Xuefu.

But after a big loophole was made when he left two years ago, Xue's house began to be tight, and many maids were sold. Of course, Xue's poverty does not mean that the old lady is poor. It is said that Yao's mother still wants to get a few big objects from the old lady's small warehouse to make a dowry for Xinrong.

"If she came for the dowry, why didn't she come in person and let you, a slave, come to talk to the old man? Don't you really think I'm old and look down on me as an old woman? The old lady was furious, and obviously she didn't pay attention to her at all.

Mother Yao was not in a hurry and said slowly, "Miss is embroidering wedding clothes in the room. After all, it is a lifelong event. Miss's wedding dress can't be vague."

The old lady really wanted to throw the teacup on the ground, but in front of Yao's mother, she couldn't afford to lose face. Obviously, Yao's mother did it on purpose.

She said coldly, "Don't you just want to get a few things from me?" Well, it's just my Xue family married my daughter, and it's nothing to have two more things!"

"The old lady is generous!" Yao's mother answered quickly.

She added, "I have to go to the second wife to talk about it. It is estimated that the second wife has also taken a lot of things from the young lady's dowry box, and she has to make up the dowry box anyway. I won't bother you."

After Yao's mother left, the old lady couldn't see that she was angry. She said to her mother Ge behind her, "When will the eldest sister's family return to Beijing!"

"It's almost time. The letter says that I will come back after the Spring Festival and catch up with the marriage of the ninth sister!"

"Well, I want to see if she can make this marriage."

"Old lady, at least the ninth sister is also from Xue's house. If we do this..."

"When did she regard herself as a member of Xue's family? Humph, after staying in the Li family for two years, she regarded herself as a member of the Li family. She didn't think about it. She was not yet surnamed Xue. I really think that the Li family is good to her, but the eldest daughter of the Li family can't do it. The old lady narrowed her eyes.

"What the old lady said is that the ninth sister has no conscience, and she doesn't want to be an old lady protecting her when she came to the capital from the age of eight. Now her wings are hard and she wants to bite you." Ge's mother carefully comforted the old lady and said, "The eldest sister and the third sister are good. Remember your kindness. The third sister is Mrs. Dingyuan. The eldest sister is also a general's wife when she comes back. Our Xue's house is still face.

When Ge's mother said this, the old lady raised her face and enjoyed Ge's mother's praise.

Mother Yao went to the second wife's yard and basically said the same words. The second wife generously returned all the things she had taken in the dowry box, and also sent a set of valuable silver jewelry.

Yao's mother happily picked up such a set of jewelry. Although there are a lot of jewelry in the dowry box, this new set of jewelry seems to be customized for the girl's family, which is not old-fashioned at all.

The second wife pondered for a long time, and the set of silver jade was originally what she was going to give to Xinrong.

Since she got Xinrong to marry Xiahouchen, the son of the Marquis of Anguo, the second wife has been panicked. She did not intend to reject Xinrong like the old lady. After all, Xinrong went out of Xue's house. Even if she is not at home, she still has to take into account the face of Xue's house. If she makes friends at this time, there may be a remedy. .

She took out her private money and gave Xinrong a set of silver jade jewelry. Even with this thought, if she has something to look for in the future, she should not refuse.

"When will the uncle and the eldest sister return to the capital?" The second wife asked lightly.

"It's almost time!" Liu's mother answered.

The second wife nodded, and the eldest sister asked her to make friends with Xinrong in the last letter. However, at that time, she was very disdainful of Xinrong. She only thought that she was a little girl. No matter how talented she was, she could not make any big waves. After suffering, she did so.

When Yao's mother took this set of jewelry back, her heart was also bright, and the silver-white light and the soft jade light reflected each other. Even if she saw the exquisite jewelry in her dowry box, she felt that this jewelry was the most suitable for her.

"What did the second wife say?" Xinrong asked.

"I didn't say that I was also very intimate with the maidservant, and it was very different from the old lady. I really don't understand which one is going on with the second wife and the old lady. Yao's mother couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

He covered his lips and smiled softly: "If you really don't understand, you don't understand."

"The old lady is really old, and the second wife is at least concerned about the future. You see..."

"It's time for us to buy several shops in Xuefu!" His heart changed the topic, and his eyes were stained with a strong smile.

"That's right. I'm so confused that I forgot that there are still a few good shops in Xue's house. We should also get those shops under your name." Yao's mother said.

Xinrong nodded, and she had long fallen in love with those shops.
