The painting style of the princess in the Red Chamber is wrong

"What?" Shui Jue gently put the teacup on the table, and said calmly, "Say it again."

The servant standing below with his head bowed was sweating coldly behind his back, and he narrated the Chen family's affairs again.

Shui Jue chuckled, and tapped the back of the chair with her fingers: "Who gave the Chen family the guts."

The little boy was silent like a cicada, this is not what he should say.

Shui Jue lowered his head slightly, with a sneer on his lips.Who is it, do you still need to think about it?Although the prince's matter has been suppressed, since Prince Yong knows, he knows everything that should be known.Even if I have doubts in my heart, I always feel a little uneasy.Even though the emperor now acts as if he favors the prince, the important ministers around the emperor are all good at guessing the holy will.Even if the emperor reveals a little bit of his true intentions, they will be infinitely magnified.

Prince Yong's lineage has already shown that they are winning.And since they thought the prince was nothing to be afraid of, Prince Rui, who was usually low-key, was very eye-catching.Regardless of whether my elder brother intends to seize the heir apparent or not, his status is there. He is the heir son, second only to the crown prince; he is the only second prince in this generation, and his title is still the auspicious "Rui". I don't know where it is taller than the word "courage".It is also conceivable that Prince Yong turned his finger on his brother.

Prince Rui didn't have any visible factions in the court, and Prince Yong really didn't know how to attack Prince Rui's lineage.After much deliberation, it seems that only the wives can take a hit.After all, although Chen Ning'an was an orphan, Chen Yi was quite prestigious in the army back then, and the Chen family was also inextricably linked with other noble families. Prince Yong thought, maybe Prince Rui would use the wife's family as a springboard , started to make trouble?

Therefore, Prince Yong took the initiative to hook up with the Chen family, and came up with such a move that didn't look wrong on the surface, but actually showed the Chen family's tendency to stand in line.

Both of Chen Ning'an's parents died, but no matter whether it was Chen Yi's savings or Mrs. Chen Yi's dowry, the accumulation was not a small sum.Logically speaking, the family had actually been separated at the beginning, and the property left by Chen Yi and his wife should become Chen Ning'an's dowry.However, since Chen Yu inherited the title and mansion, everyone knows how much of Chen Ning'an's original property will be left.But no matter how hard they did, they had no right to change Chen Ning'an's mother's dowry.The dowry plus the bride price from the royal family, since they are married to the royal family, they will add some more, at least on the surface it will not look ugly.

Just because the Chen family did too ugly before, everyone thought that they would make up for it in terms of dowry.Even if they still don't get close in the future, at least they won't make enemies.As an orphan, Chen Ning'an still needs a supportive family after she gets married. This is a good opportunity to ease the relationship.

In fact, the Chen family thought so too, but after getting in touch with Prince Yong, the family's mind became active.Anyway, it is impossible for Chen Ning'an and them to get close. Rather than using his own money to help Chen Ning'an gain a firm foothold in Prince Rui's mansion, and not needing the friendship of Prince Rui, it is better to make Chen Ning'an feel ashamed when he gets married.In this way, Chen Ning'an will definitely not please Prince Rui, and they don't have to worry that Chen Ning'an will use Prince Rui's power to retaliate in the future.

As for whether Prince Rui would be angry because the Chen family didn't give out the dowry, since Prince Yong, the prospective heir, has spoken, what are they afraid of?Even if the emperor reprimanded him a few words, Chen Yi earned Chen Yi's title due to the meritorious service of the Chen family for generations, so he could only reprimand him a few words.The emperor is also getting old, even if Prince Rui targets them, when Prince Yong ascends the throne, their family won't be able to flourish immediately.

At this time, they remembered that Chen Yi bought his title securely with his life, but it never occurred to them that what they were going to target was Chen Yi's orphan daughter who traded his life for the title.

The Chen family also thought for a long time before making this decision.If it weren't for the current situation that they couldn't control, they didn't want to offend Prince Rui and make the emperor unhappy.It's really because what they did before was too ugly, and the relationship with Chen Ning'an is impossible to restore.Especially Mrs. Chen Yu, she couldn't sleep at night when she thought of how many times she had targeted Chen Ning'an, and even showed off what belonged to Chen Ning'an's mother's dowry in front of Chen Ning'an.Even Chen Yu didn't know what she did - men generally don't care about the back house.Therefore, Mrs. Chen Yu is the one who understands most clearly that Chen Ning'an will never settle the feud with Chen Jiabing.

In fact, if Mrs. Chen hadn't protected her, Mrs. Chen Yu would have killed this orphan girl long ago, justifiably embezzling all her property.This is also the reason why she stopped Chen Ning'an from talking about her marriage.When Chen Ning'an is a few years older, she will find a way to make Chen Ning'an "disappointed" to become a monk.She didn't even want to bother to marry Chen Ning'an to a bad family, after all, she would have to pay a dowry.

Shui Jue had already found out what Mrs. Chen Yu was doing, and she also knew that she would never spit out what she ate, and even posted her own family property, so as to arrange a copy for Chen Ning. past dowry.Originally, I thought that the Chen family was at best a yin and yang, but who knew that the incident with the prince made Prince Yong feel vaguely like a prince, and even wanted to interfere with his younger brother's marriage.

However, it is not incomprehensible for Prince Yong to do this. He is someone who would kill even an innocent nephew. It was just a matter of marriage. At least he hasn't figured out a way to kill Chen Ning'an, so as to give Prince Rui a reputation of being a wife.Shui Jue sneered, it seems that she should thank this good brother?

The Chen family didn't give out the dowry, so naturally they wouldn't be caught directly.Chen Yu was smart at this time, or maybe it was Prince Yong's idea.It should be said that all these nobles borrowed money from the treasury, and the Chen family also borrowed a lot of money.It's just that the emperor didn't rush to repay the debt in order to show his benevolence, so the nobles just pretended not to know.

Chen Yu stood up at this time and said that he was going to marry the royal family and could no longer owe money to the state treasury.So he decided to pay off the debt.In fact, when Chen Yi was still there, he had quietly and one after another paid off most of the debts, and the current debts are only [-] to [-] taels of silver.If it wasn't for Chen Yi's accidental martyrdom, it would have been paid off long ago.After Chen Yu inherited the title, he didn't care about it at all, and even felt faintly in his heart that his elder brother was stupid and wasting money for nothing.

Because Chen Yi didn't want to offend other nobles who owed money, the other people didn't know that the debt was almost paid off.Therefore, Chen Yu's attitude of wanting to sell everything he owed to pay off all the debts surprised many people.One must know that this debt is much more valuable than Chen Ning'an's decent dowry.After all, Chen Ning'an still has her mother's dowry to support her, and there are many ways to make the dowry look good and not worth money.

Only the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and his hands were almost bruised.Others don't know about Chen Yi's repayment of the money. Could it be that he doesn't know about it?He even knew that Mrs. Chen had been secretly repaying the money in her own name.Mrs. Chen quietly sold her valuable and inconspicuous dowry, as well as her own money in the bottom of the box, and has already paid back another five or six thousand taels.Mrs. Chen also assured the emperor that she left money for emergencies, and after a hundred years, all the dowry would be cashed out and the money returned.I just hope that when the time comes, the royal family can look after her grandchildren a little bit for the sake of her Chen family being sensible.

At that time, Mrs. Chen had obviously despaired of the Chen family.Seeing the arrogance of the Chen family, she knew that if the throne changed, no new ruler could accommodate the Chen family, even if there was an attack from the dragon.What's more, Chen Yu is really incompetent, even if he wants to be a dragon, he can't help those princes.

So now the Chen family owes less than ten thousand taels of silver, and the output of the Chen family village is more than ten thousand taels of silver in less than a year.The Chen family used this as an excuse to cry poor, and took the opportunity to lower the grade of Chen Ning'an's dowry.Those who didn't know thought that the Chen family was very loyal and patriotic, even Prince Rui couldn't blame the Chen family for not being able to buy a good dowry due to the temporary shortage of money in order to pay off the debt.

So Mrs. Chen Yu only took out the dowry left by Chen Ning'an's mother, repaired the furniture that needed to be repaired, melted the jewelry that had changed color and remade it, pressed the old silk and satin to the bottom of the box, filled it with new silk and satin, and finally filled it. Some dowries that are worthless but good looking.Although it was enough to collect so much money, it looked sparse on the surface. Even those Zhuangzi with poor output were not given much, and the silver at the bottom of the box was only given 1 taels.

Mrs. Chen Yu still wiped her tears and said that the family has paid off all the money owed, and she can't spend so much money for the dowry for the time being.He also said that this was also for the good of Chen Ning'an. Now that the royal family is Chen Ning'an's in-law's family after all, the royal family will be happy if the money owed is repaid, and it will be better for Chen Ning'an.

Look, how beautifully said.

Chen Ning'an only said seriously, what my aunt said was right, so right, a courtier must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.She also suggested that the dowry should be donated to the national treasury. The emperor must be happier, and Prince Rui would definitely not care about it.

If she hadn't known about Chen Ning'an's character of accepting death and following rules, Mrs. Chen Yu would have thought that Chen Ning'an was being sarcastic.Originally, she just wanted to stab Chen Ning'an a few times, but she might not be able to stab Chen Ning'an in the future.Unexpectedly, not only was Chen Ning'an not angry, but she also took the initiative to ask for all the dowry to be donated to the treasury. What else could Mrs. Chen Yu say?Had to leave resentfully.

It was a pity when she left.After all, in order to collect so much dowry, Mrs. Chen Yi's dowry, except for those given as gifts during festivals, was given to Chen Ning'an.When Chen Ning'an's mother got married back then, she also had a lot of red makeup. There were many good things in the dowry. She couldn't put it down.

It's just that Prince Yong happily waited for Prince Rui to get a daughter-in-law with a poor dowry, but he didn't expect that things would not go according to his idea.

A few days before the wedding, the emperor made a sudden decree, saying that Mr. Chen Jiazhong was patriotic and returned all the money to the treasury, and had no money to buy a dowry for his daughter-in-law. Therefore, as the emperor, he could not make his courtiers look bad, so he asked the internal servants to buy a dowry. The dowry was given to the daughter-in-law.Moreover, the emperor also decreed that the Chen family was not required to keep at least ten betrothal gifts from Prince Rui's mansion according to the rules, and all the betrothal gifts from Prince Rui's residence would be given to Chen Ning'an as a dowry.

Accompanied by the emperor's reward and will, there is also a dowry gift from Prince Rui's Mansion, which is completely made according to the standard dowry format of mahogany, huanghuali, rosewood, and golden nanmu furniture, as well as several Zhuangzi shops.Those Zhuangzi shops are all in good locations, and some of them are Huangzhuang. One can tell at a glance that they were rewarded by the emperor in the name of Prince Rui's dowry.
