Concubine Zhou through the Red Mansions

When the first wife of the third prince, Mrs. Ma, came in, the dowry was 120 sets. Such a dowry may only be envied by ordinary people for a lifetime, and when the dowry is displayed, they can watch it.But for marrying into the royal family, it really can't be considered too much, it can only be said to be reluctant.

But it can’t be said that it belongs to the Ma family. After all, at that time, the first nine princes, the current emperor, let alone enthroned, even the first emperor didn’t pay much attention to him. As the second son of the transparent prince, he naturally Don't pay too much attention to it.

At that time, the head of the Ma family had not been promoted to the position of governor, and there were no high-ranking officials in the family. Of course, the money was not as much as it is now, so Ma's dowry is completely understandable. After all, the whole family cannot be filled in for a daughter.

But what ordinary people can understand, Zhou Xiaoxian can't understand. When preparing the dowry, there are too many constraints, and I can't let go. I have prepared a bunch of good things, but my daughter can't take them out. Don't mention how sad she is. Handkerchief I don't know how many pieces were torn by her.

In order to respect the first wife, the dowry of the stepwife is generally not higher than that of the first wife, so even if she has more things to bring to the third prince's mansion for her daughter, she can't exceed 120. To show one's etiquette, one usually lowers one's head twice.

120 six lifts, this is not half of Zhou Xiaoxian's preparation, but because Jia Jin and the third prince have several mutual friends, they are also familiar with each other, so the big furniture has been sent to the third prince's mansion the day before the dowry. up.

No, we can't talk about the third prince anymore. Last month, the emperor issued a decree to the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince as county kings, so it should be called the Prince of Harmony.

Because the furniture had been sent away before, Zhou Xiaoxian finally managed to put all the things in the vacant quota of nearly fifty.

However, although the number is correct, a discerning eye can tell when the dowry is displayed, this is definitely an overwhelming victory for the third concubine's dowry compared to the previous one!

If it was three months ago, Zhou Xiaoxian might have to restrain herself a bit, but since revealing what Madam Ma did to the third prince, although nothing has changed on the surface, it can be seen from the occasional clues that the third prince is real Hate the Ma family.

The number of dowries is lower than that of the predecessor, which is the face of the ex's natal family. The Ma family never thought of showing face to his family, so don't blame them for being unethical.

The illegitimate daughter who wanted to enter the county prince's mansion and Mrs. Ma who had no discernment at all, these two people really offended Zhou Xiaoxian in various ways.

Let alone the illegitimate daughter, Zhou Xiaoxian almost fainted when the eldest lady of the Ma family said it out of anger.

Her daughter came in as a princess, not as a nanny. What do you mean by "the elder sister is so honorable, please forgive me.", "Her father is only her first daughter, so she is naturally loved by thousands of people. She is such a young mother." Let's go, let her more."...

Zhou Xiaoxian put out all her self-cultivation for so many years, so she didn't choke with her on the spot. Fortunately, this is a daughter. If this is a son, her daughter will not be able to survive!But she is not easy to bully. This child who is not her own has always been restrained. If the discipline is strict, she will be criticized. Of course, she couldn't let her daughter fall into such a situation.

The eldest daughter of King Hejun is six years old this year, and there will be about ten years before she gets married. Sister Wan cannot escape responsibility for anything that happens during this period. Therefore, the mother and daughter have already discussed it. The first thing is to arrange all the nurses around Miss Jiao with the king of the county. They usually follow the rules, as long as they don't make mistakes.

Don't ask for success, but ask for nothing.

The two of them had a good idea, but this kind of thing can go smoothly without setting the rules. However, until the princess got married, the stumbling and stumbling in the past ten years were all because Jia Wan reported good news but not bad news. It was safe and sound.

After finishing her daughter's dowry, Zhou Xiaoxian felt that one daughter was enough. Marrying a daughter is really much more busy than marrying a daughter-in-law. For example, those furniture and wood are all found by her in the space of this era. The best thing you can see, of course, if you handle the source well, she still knows it.

Those jewelry and medicinal materials are all produced by the space, but because a lot of these things flowed out when she opened the shop in the early years, so others can only exaggerate the handwriting, at most, they are a little jealous and want to check in private. Check if there is anything unclean about what the official Jiayou has done, of course, nothing is found.

She didn't prepare much for fur materials. After all, these things take up space and it's not impossible to buy them. Antique calligraphy and paintings were prepared by Jia You, her two sons and her brother, and they were slowly collected in recent years.

Zhou Xiaoxian gave Jia Wan eight five-acre farms, four ten-acre farms, two twenty-acre farms, and one fifty-acre farm. The shops were Wanhai Pavilion and two embroidery villages.Zhou Xiaoxian knew that her daughter was very interested in business affairs, but after she got married, she could no longer feel like she was at home, so she was given a lot of fields and few shops. Although Wanhai Pavilion made money in the early years, it has become quiet these years Yes, but even so, there are people from all sides in it, so I use this to make my daughter vigilant.

Jia Wan herself likes to do business, but she also understands that it can only be before she gets married, making noise at home, with her parents sweeping the tail, and people outside don't know about it, but after she gets married, it will be less involved. After all, she is married. Entering the royal family, if you are involved in a competition for profit with the people, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Originally 120 was tensely prepared, but the uncle's house, aunt's house, a bunch of make-ups arrived again, Zhou Xiaoxian could only jump out of the slightly unimportant ones, and leave a seat for them. In the end, there was really no other way but Starting with the dowry boxes, the craftsmen had to make the boxes one and a half times the usual size before putting things in them.

As for the silver at the bottom of the box, Zhou Xiaoxian swiped one-tenth of the family property to her. Originally, she wanted to double it, but she thought that her daughter was only 16 years old. After all, the age is there, so much money is a waste on her, why not find a place to add value to her!

If you think about it this way, these are too many, but thinking that your daughter is not my own once she goes out, I still feel that there can be no less.Marrying a daughter from a high family and marrying a woman from a low family would not take advantage of their status. If you don't have money to accompany you, how careful you will be in life!

Zhou Xiaoxian felt unbearable even thinking about it.

If Jia Wan wasn't her daughter, she might think that such a dowry and box of silver was too much, but whoever told her that it was her daughter, of course, no matter how much it was given, it would not be enough.

Jia Wan didn't feel anything. There were a few of her sisters and girlfriends who were married. The exact amount of money in the box would not be disclosed, but it could be seen from the dowry, so she felt that her parents had treated her very well. .She even wanted to ask her mother if such a dowry would make her sister-in-law unhappy, but in order not to bring hatred to her sister-in-law, the words spun around in her mouth, and she swallowed them again.

Therefore, when Zhou Xiaoxian told her that there was still a part of the money to help her invest in shipping, she really didn't know what to say. Surprisingly, the annual dividends are amazing.

The most profitable shop in the family is Wanhai Pavilion. She has always known that although the size of the shop has shrunk a lot over the years, there are still tens of thousands of taels a year. From this, one can imagine how big the shipping business is. money.

However, this kind of business doesn't mean that you can participate in one foot, and there are only so many shares. If she takes one share, the mother will inevitably lose one share. Thinking of this, the makeup just put on is another To spend.

"Don't cry anymore. Today is a day of great joy. It's like this once in a lifetime. Mother wants to see our precious daughter beautifully."

Beautiful and bright on the sedan chair. Seeing her daughter's eyes turning red, Zhou Xiaoxian wanted to cry too.

She knew that her daughter was going to cry when she found out, so she kept silent. Sure enough, she should have told her earlier.

Although the family has already had a marriage once, the son's marriage is really different from the daughter's marriage. When the daughter-in-law marries in, there is an extra person in the family, and the daughter's marriage will belong to someone else's family.

No one lived in the yard, and there was no one on the table when eating, and no one would act coquettishly with her anymore. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxian still couldn't hold back her tears, she really did it Only a mother can experience this feeling!

"My mother asked her daughter not to cry, but why did she cry instead?" As she said that, she wanted to wipe her with her sleeve.

When Zhou Xiaoxian saw her movements, her tears stopped, "How many times have I told you that you need to wear a handkerchief, but why are you still holding your sleeves?

Fang is the most disciplined, so he can't do it here.And this is an auspicious suit, don't get it dirty! "

Jia Wan nodded, just as she was about to say something, a notification came from outside the door, and the third prince had already arrived outside the courtyard.

After all, the bridegroom is the prince, so he didn't suffer much, and his poems for the pair were just a formality. Compared with what happened to the young master of the Hu family when Yingchun got married, it was really too simple.

Originally, if Jia Ying was here, he still wanted to make things worse, but yesterday he developed a fever for no reason, so he invited a doctor to come and see him. He only said that he caught a cold at the turn of the seasons, and that he should rest for two days to recuperate.Zhou Xiaoxian could only ask someone to watch him, for fear that he would get up secretly and make his condition worse.

Fortunately, Jia Wan visited him yesterday afternoon, and gave her what he wanted to say, and the gift he prepared, otherwise, he would never have stayed on the bed honestly today.

The remaining Jia You and Jia Jin were all gentle and solemn people, and the fourth child was still young, so naturally no one would ask tricky questions.

Because the younger generation got married, even though they joined the royal family, they couldn't let the elders accompany them all the time, so Mother Jia and the men in the front mansion also showed their faces and went back. Of course, if the female relatives are all in the backyard, that's another time. It's over.

The elders left after showing their faces, and the younger ones still had to stay. Although they usually looked at them with a little brain and doing stupid things, but at least they could hold on at critical moments. Zhou Xiaoxian was still very satisfied when she saw it .

Apart from other things, the men of the Jia family are really good-looking, pleasing to the eye, Zhou Xiaoxian nodded.

In fact, these are all appearances, because Zhou Xiaoxian, the princess, is here, and her prestige in the early years is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so everyone's heads are tense, fearing that something goes wrong and they will be liquidated later.

The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that Jia Baoyu went to burn incense outside the city, and she couldn't understand why he liked incense so much, and such an important matter as the marriage of the sisters in the family could be ignored.However, when she thought about what happened when he came out of the cabinet in Yingchun, she felt a little lucky, if she didn't come, she wouldn't come, as there would be no trouble.Anyway, Wan'er has quite a few brothers, so he is not missing one of them.

Looking at the welcoming team walking away, Zhou Xiaoxian suddenly felt that she was really old, her sons were growing up, her daughter was married, and the red building had long since changed beyond recognition. She seemed to just live a new life, with her Everything that was not experienced in the previous life.

Perhaps, she should be grateful for those wandering times, because it gave her a new start.
