Xiaoxiang Daiyu Love

Xiangfu is too rude. "

Aunt Xiang is really good-looking when she gets cheap, she would be fine if she didn't pick from the dowry.Ordinary officials and eunuchs paid tens of thousands of taels of silver in dowry, and officials of the third rank and above married their daughters with tens of thousands of taels, and their prime minister father was still the first rank.Not to mention the salary, but there are too many shops and properties under her name. Aunt Xiang has been in charge of the family for many years.

Daiyu takes money very lightly, so even though she feels uncomfortable, she doesn't say anything. "Okay, I see." Then he went back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Miss, Aunt Xiang is too bullying." As soon as she returned to the Xiaoxiang Hall, Yinxue complained for Daiyu.

"Yinxue, pay attention to what you say. It's all for me to say this. If someone with a heart hears it, you will feel better." Daiyu said seriously.According to the rules, slaves are not allowed to criticize the master casually, otherwise the master has the right to deal with it at will, ranging from punishment to kneeling and starving, to severe punishment and expulsion from the house.Although Aunt Xiang is not a serious master, but the righteous master Liu doesn't care about things, she is more like a righteous master.

"If someone spreads this word to Aunt Xiang's ears, I will peel off your skin carefully!" Yin Shuang also gave Yin Xue a hard look.They all knew that Miss was protecting them.Aunt Xiang has many eyes and ears, so she must be careful when she speaks, otherwise she won't know how she died.

"You don't need to be so nervous, but you must be careful in the future. I don't want you to have any accidents, otherwise, where would I find such a well-behaved girl." Seeing the seriousness of the two girls, Daiyu said with a smile.

Both of them blushed because of Daiyu's teasing, but they were very grateful to Miss.Miss is worried about them, this is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.The second young lady, Lin Ziqing, beat and scolded the maids quite often, but her own young lady never said anything serious to them, and she always thought about them.Even though she was rather petite some time ago, she just couldn't get used to Aunt Xiang covering the sky with her hands, showing off her power in the mansion and fighting against injustice.

"Miss, are you not angry? Did you think of any way to deal with it?" Yinshuang, who was careful, found that the lady didn't seem to be angry.

"Why are you angry? It's too late for me to gloat!" Daiyu's watery eyes flashed a hint of cunning.

Yinshuang and Yinxue suddenly realized, they looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that Aunt Xiang was about to fall into Miss's hands again.

The next day, Daiyu went to greet the old lady as usual. The prime minister is really a filial son. After leaving court, he came back to have breakfast with the old lady.The old lady is an open-minded person. She said that breakfast should be served early or late, so there is no need to mobilize the crowd to eat together, and each of them can eat in their own yard.

When Daiyu came, the old lady shouted happily: "Girl Yu came just in time, come and eat together, it hasn't been this lively for a long time. The more people you have, the better your appetite."

Daiyu walked over obediently, greeted her grandmother and father, and sat down next to the old lady.

Daiyu picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and brought it to the old lady's mouth: "Grandma, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake has a delicate taste, sweet but not greasy, it's the most suitable for you to eat."

"This jade girl's mouth is even sweeter!" The old lady joked with a smile.He looked at his son Lin Hongju again: "Daiyu has suffered a lot since you were not in the mansion during this time. Now she is getting more and more sensible. I am really reluctant to marry her off."

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely prepare a generous dowry for Yu'er, and I won't let her be looked down upon by her in-laws after she gets married." Lin Hongju was also very reluctant.After all, she was the daughter I was looking forward to back then, and she was the only one who was born as a concubine. In the past, she was deliberately neglected because of Liu's relationship, but this time he will definitely marry his daughter off like an ordinary father, and will not treat her badly. her.

"Grandmother, father, don't worry. Everyone treats me very well. My aunt has already made a dowry list!" Daiyu said gratefully.It stands to reason that Mrs. Liu is the wife of the wife and Daiyu's own mother. What she should have done, but Aunt Xiang has taken care of her upper body. Don't you know what's tricky about it?

"Really? I don't know yet. Quickly, go and ask Aunt Xiang to come over right away." The old lady ordered the maid beside her.Why didn't you mention it when you came to ask for safety just now?

As soon as Aunt Xiang stepped over the threshold, the old lady shouted: "Xiang girl, I heard that you have listed all of Yu'er's dowry? Quickly bring me the list."

Aunt Xiang hesitated, but still took out a list from her sleeve, and handed it to the old lady: "Old lady, the master has always been an upright official, and the house has a lot of expenses, so..." She wanted to do another Make a fake list to hide the truth from the old lady and the master. She is the one who is in charge of the house. Anyway, everything is packed in a box. Others only see the surface, but they don't know what is in the box.The old lady loves saving face most, she is afraid of losing the face of the prime minister's mansion, if she wants to see it, she will show her a few boxes, does she still open every box and look through it carefully?

023 rich dowry

But Aunt Xiang was wrong, she was used to being arrogant in the past, and she would please the old lady, and Daiyu didn't understand anything, so she let her do whatever she wanted.She didn't expect that when she wasn't ready, the old lady knew it.Now, it's too late to make fake accounts.Today is really different, Lin Daiyu is well-behaved and sensible, the old lady really loves her as her only granddaughter.Thinking of this, Aunt Xiang's heart pounded.

Seeing that the old lady's face slowly turned from sunny to cloudy, she handed the list to her son Lin Hongju: "Look at you, a dignified first-rank minister, marrying off your daughter in such a poor way? I can't afford to lose this old face."

Lin Hongju took a look, and reprimanded: "I know that you usually take care of the house, so it's not good for you to let go, which hurts your face. But I never thought you were so ignorant. Daiyu is the only prostitute daughter of my Lin family. Married It’s the prestigious Prince Chu’s Mansion again, not to mention losing my face, you even lost the face of Prince Chu. How will I gain a foothold in the court in the future?” The dispute between wives and concubines is nothing more than that. But how can family ugliness be spread?Lin Hongju was really angry.

"Okay, how do you communicate with this short-sighted thing? Let me arrange it!" Turning to Mother Liu, "Go and make a new list."

In the end, apart from the standards of ordinary rich and noble families, the old lady also gave Daiyu two shops on Qianmen Street, a house next to Yancui Lake, and a farm outside Ximen.

Aunt Xiang lifted a rock and threw herself in the foot again, thinking bitterly: The old lady is biased, it depends on whether you have the life to enjoy it.

Daiyu laughed to herself, the palace hadn't even come to hire her yet, so Aunt Xiang was anxious to push her out, but in the end she made herself ashamed again.Anyway, I always have to get married, so it's better to prepare the dowry earlier, and I have time to take care of it, so that I don't have time to take care of my husband's family even when I go out.

This day, the old lady called Daiyu over again.Recently, the old lady has been very fond of Daiyu, probably because she wants to make up for the debt she owed to their mother and daughter. Besides, Daiyu is married to Prince Chu's mansion, so it is always good to establish a good relationship as soon as possible.

The old lady opened a red sandalwood carved box on the table, and said kindly: "Yu'er, you don't like to dress up on weekdays. Here are two sets of dresses, both of which were my dowry back then. I don't need them now, so I just keep them." Here you go."

Daiyu saw that there were two complete sets of heads and masks, one was made of pure gold and the other was made of sapphire, which was very valuable at first glance.

Daiyu refused: "Grandmother, you have done a very good job for me, how can I still ask for your stuff at the bottom of the box?" She had never seen the old lady wear this headgear, so it must be something very precious to her.

The old lady handed the box to Daiyu, and said with a smile: "Son, this is what my mother wore back then, and then passed it on to me, and now I'm giving it to you again, for good luck. Go and try it!" "

Daiyu couldn't resist the old lady's kindness, so she followed Bilian into the inner room.

"Well, it's really good! It's like it's tailor-made." Daiyu tried two hairstyles, and the old lady praised her.

"However, this style is a bit old-fashioned. It will be more suitable for you when you get gold inlaid jade and remake it into a new one." Gold inlaid jade is the largest jewelry store in Kyoto, and the families of dignitaries and dignitaries like to choose there. jewelry.

Daiyu thanked her and sat down beside the old lady again.

"By the way, while there is still some time, you go to the shop to have a look and identify the door." The old lady is really an enlightened person.

"Thank you grandma." Daiyu was thinking about it.

024 Meet Again

The next day, the weather was clear and the sun smiled quietly, adding a lot of warmth to this winter day.Daiyu decided to go out for a walk today to see some of her shops.After reporting to the old lady, the master and servants went out in a carriage.

When she came to the shop on Qianmen Street, Daiyu was really taken aback, marveling at how generous the old lady is.It is said to be a shop, but it is actually two three-story buildings, very grand and stylish.It's just that the business in the shop doesn't seem to be very good.One of the two shops is a silk and satin shop, and the other is a restaurant. They look grand but no one patronizes them. Daiyu is puzzled.

A group of people entered the silk and satin shop, a middle-aged woman looked at a piece of satin, shook her head and walked out.Yinshuang made an introduction to the shopkeeper. As soon as they heard that the eldest lady was coming, everyone hurried over to salute, and stood respectfully in two rows to wait for the lecture.

Daiyu sat down on the table in the middle of the lobby and asked about the operation of the shop.The shopkeeper surnamed Du obediently reported: "Miss doesn't know something, we were transferred here a few days ago. When we came, we found out that many of them were stocks from previous years, and the condition was a bit old. They were all High-grade silk and satin, rich and noble people dislike the old ones and don't buy them. They want to buy new ones, but the owner has not given them for a long time.
