Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi was a little surprised: "Porcelain of such good quality, but so much of it only costs over 800 taels?"

She had bought a few porcelain vases for her home before and placed them on the shelf in the study for flower arrangement. Each one cost ten taels of silver. She even bargained with the shopkeeper and only got the price down to eight taels of silver each.

I really don’t know how my father-in-law did it. He spent so little money and bought so many porcelains!

He Feng didn't know the price of the porcelain, but Old Man Lu mentioned it to her when he came back, saying that Mo San took him to a kiln in the suburbs of Beijing and they met an acquaintance - Madam Xu.

After chatting for a while, Old Man Lu found out that the kiln was actually Madam Xu's property, or to be more precise, it was Madam Xu's dowry.

Mrs. Xu often came to the Lu family these days. When she saw Old Man Lu in her kiln workshop, she greeted him warmly.

"Your father told me that Madam Xu saw that he was an acquaintance and knew that your father was going to order porcelain for Qingqing as a dowry. She didn't want a penny and insisted on giving it to your father."

"This really scared your father. Madam Xu is also a business owner. How could she really not give money? Your father insisted on giving a banknote and refused for a long time. In the end, Madam Xu was only willing to accept 850 taels."

When He Feng talked about Madam Xu, his face was full of gratitude. Madam Xu was the wife of a minister. She was the wife of such a wealthy family, and yet she was so kind to her own family!

Logically speaking, even if she was his own mother, the aunt of Minister Xu, Madam Xu, as his niece-in-law, should just give them some face and there was no need to be so nice to them.

He Feng really couldn't figure it out, but Gu Yunxi was also a little confused when she heard it. However, she quickly thought of her grandmother, Mrs. He.

Gu Yunxi asked, "Mom, during the days I was away, did Madam Xu often come to our house to visit my grandmother?"

"Yes, Madam Xu, like your grandmother, likes to study Buddhism. Not long after you returned to your hometown, she followed your grandmother to a Buddhist event. After you came back, Madam Xu came to our house more frequently."

"It's a good thing she comes here so often, otherwise your grandmother would be very bored. With her around, she smiles a little more!"

Although he didn't know whether Madam Xu was aware of the relationship between her mother and the Xu family, He Feng was truly grateful to Madam Xu.

Gu Yunxi nodded slowly and was about to speak when the doorman came to report: "Madam, Young Madam, Madam Xu is here and is walking into the yard!"

He Feng had previously instructed that when Madam Xu arrived, the concierge should just let her in without notifying her first. Now that he heard that Madam Xu was heading this way, He Feng smiled and said, "Look, she's here just as I was talking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Madam Xu and her two maids walking towards him slowly, smiling.

Madam Xu smiled and said, "I just heard from the maid that Yun Xi is back, but I didn't believe it. But now I see Yun Xi."

Gu Yunxi smiled at her and said, "Aunt Xu, you are teasing me. I just got home the night before yesterday, and I went out to the embroidery shop yesterday. I haven't had time to go out to visit you today!"

He Feng also said: "Maybe your maid saw her on the street yesterday."

Madam Xu nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I said yesterday. I wanted to come to your house yesterday, but something happened to me. I came today when I had time."

"Oh, these are the porcelains that Brother Lu ordered for Qingqing. I asked them to hurry up and make them, but they were only delivered today. Those guys are so slow! I'll teach them a lesson later!"

Although Madam Xu was lecturing people, her tone was not angry at all. Instead, she was smiling. Gu Yunxi couldn't help but smile as she listened.

"Qingqing's wedding is still a few days away. It's still in time. It's because we were too late to make the reservation. It's only thanks to you that we can get the porcelain before her wedding."

"If it were any other family, this porcelain might not have been delivered before Qingqing's wedding, and I wouldn't have had the chance to thank you!" He Feng said with a smile, leading Madam Xu to the main house.

Gu Yunxi sent Xiao Cui away and asked Mrs. He to come out and sit with Mrs. Xu.

Xiao Cui was very quick and Mrs. He came out soon. When she saw Mrs. Xu, she smiled and nodded, then sat in the main seat and asked Mother Wang to pour tea for Mrs. Xu personally.

Madam Xu smiled even more and said sincerely, "Madam, I was thinking about Qingqing's wedding in a few days, and I was afraid that I would be too busy to forget about it. I came here today to give Qingqing a few gifts."

After that, Madam Xu asked the maid to put down the box in her hand, slowly opened it, pointed at the pearl necklace, gold hairpin, bracelet and other items inside, and said: "These things were the dowry my mother gave me when I got married. They are just suitable for a girl of my age."

"I don't have a daughter either, but Qingqing is a girl I like. These things can be used as a dowry for Qingqing."

He Feng was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head. This box full of jewelry must be worth an unknown amount!

Not to mention, these things were the dowry given by Madam Xu’s biological mother!

In theory, the dowry given by a mother is basically passed on to her daughter. If there is no daughter, it will be given to her daughter-in-law.

Madam Xu also has a son, how could she... be so willing to give him up? Oh my God!

He Feng was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. She immediately looked at her mother, Mrs. He, and saw that Mrs. He also had a look of surprise on her face.

Mrs. He smiled and said, "Yaqin, you can just take one or two items to fill Qingqing's dowry. So many things are really too expensive."

"How about this, Xiao Cui, go ask Qing Qing to come out and let her pick out one or two things she likes."

Xiao Cui bowed and immediately stepped back to invite Lu Qingqing.

Madam Xu was a little anxious and said, "Oh, this, this is not a valuable thing, old lady, please don't be polite to me, I have many such things at home."

"Besides, my son is still young, and I don't know when he will get married. These are all external things. Only when someone likes them and wears them can they play their own value. Otherwise, these things are just things."

While Madam Xu was speaking, Lu Qingqing had already followed Xiao Cui to the main room. She was slightly surprised to see the box full of jewelry.

"Grandma, mother, sister-in-law, Aunt Xu." Lu Qingqing called out to them with a smile and sat next to Gu Yunxi.

When Madam Xu saw Lu Qingqing coming, she immediately smiled and said, "Qingqing girl, come here and take a look at these jewels. Do you like them?"

Lu Qingqing was confused. What was there to like or dislike?

Just now Xiao Cui only told her to come to the main house and didn’t say what it was. So, what happened?
