"Old lady, let's see, ma'am, can these be made? The rules in our house, girls get married with a dowry of 1 taels of silver. Aunt Bai loves Sister Ting and adds all the private houses of these years to it. In addition, the master gave A village of [-] mu in the outskirts of the city is on the list."

Liu's eyesight is not good anymore, Bai Shao, the big maid next to her, took the list in Zhang's hand and read it softly, first the real estate: "East City has three entrances to a courtyard, West City two has a garden house, Dongcheng pastry shop One, one in a village of [-] mu in the outskirts of the city."

"Boss daughter-in-law, this is too much. Sister Ting is just a concubine. If you give away all the real estate and land, what should the remaining second and third sisters do?" Jia Shi asked.

Mrs. Zhang explained from the side: "It's not that the daughter-in-law did it rashly. In fact, when a girl gets married, she must have a house or something to look good. And here, only the Sanjin courtyard in the east city and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs are from the public. The rest of the shop is In the dowry brought by Aunt Bai, the small garden in Xicheng was added by our grandfather, saying that it was the eldest sister who got married, so at least there is a garden where I can relax in the future."

Mrs. Liu happily praised: "I knew that She'er was the most filial. He was kind to my old lady, and he didn't have to say anything to his younger brothers and sisters. His child was the most pure and kind. You are also a good one, which is rare. A good-tempered person is also generous and smart, and he is also friendly to his younger siblings, waiting for me to call Sister Ting to thank you."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Jia Shishi, who had a normal complexion but the twisted handkerchief in his hand. He was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, but said: "I can't be praised by the old lady, but our master loves his younger brothers and sisters very much. Mrs. Don't be angry with the uncle, the uncle has prepared a good set of four treasures of the study for Uncle He Zheng's wedding, and he has kept a lot of good things for sister Min. When she gets married, she must be allowed to go out in a beautiful red makeup."

"Daughter-in-law Xie was joking. The boss loves my younger siblings. I am too happy to be happy. How could I be angry? Sister Ting also called me Mrs., and I will naturally have to show her when she goes out. You should make a note of me Give her that little Zhuangzi I have, it can be regarded as an income." Jia Shishi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, but outsiders didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"My wife is kind, I can't compare to my wife, so I can also give Sister Ting a set of red gold and silk hair, it's my little wish." Zhang's flattery was loud, and the set of hair was facing her It's not worth anything, if she can add trouble to Jia Shishi, she will be happy.

Thinking of the stewed wild duck soup and the fried black fungus that were just delivered to the room today, Mrs. Zhang was itching with hatred. It has been a month, and this recipe has been spinning on these cold things, sending them up every time. If it wasn't for Mo Shu's proficiency in medical skills, he wouldn't even know how he died!

Mrs. Liu was also happy, and patted Mrs. Zhang's hand and said, "You little man, you don't have any income. It's not just taking things from the dowry, but this is also your sister-in-law's heart, so I won't stop you." .Bai Shu, go and get the mother-of-pearl box from my back room."

Bai Shu went away in response, and after a while came out with a wooden box, opened it for Liu to choose.Mrs. Liu took out a deed from the inside, and handed it to Mrs. Zhang with a smile: "We girls have to rely on dowry when we go out, and the family where Sister Ting married has no brother to help her. Give her this shop. Go in and count the pocket money that my grandmother gave her."

Touched by Zhang, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I have never seen anyone who loves their daughter more than our old lady and his wife. I am also blessed to marry into our family. Sister Ting is also a filial child. I will never forget it." Kindness to old ladies and wives."

Mo Shu was so embarrassed that he was about to commit cancer after watching it, but he still resisted to agree, and all the maids and women in the room were obedient to each other.

"The old lady is kind, the wife is generous, and the grandma is also generous. The girls are all courteous and filial. Our family will become more and more prosperous."

"Yes, I often hear from other families that it is difficult to find a family as friendly as our Rongguo Mansion even if the whole capital is full of lanterns."

……

Later, it was Liu who stopped such flattery and let Bai Shao continue to read the dowry list.

Excluding Datou’s house and Zhuangzi’s property, the rest of the furniture was a set of old huanghuali wood furniture dug out from the warehouse and repainted. It didn’t cost much, but the converted price was quite high, 300 taels .Mrs. Liu nodded. It is considered a compliment for a concubine to find such a marriage. If the dowry is too generous, I am afraid that her daughter-in-law will not be able to sleep.

Jia Shi's face also looked better, thinking that at least this Zhang is not so stupid as to move all the good things to a poor loser.She really wanted to produce something, but it's a pity that girls always have to be delivered when they get married. Jia Zheng is about to welcome her, and Jia Min should be called her husband's family after two or three years. Her own children were also struggling, so Jia Shi turned a blind eye and let Zhang take care of it.

For the two houses, Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi each added a Zhuangzi, as well as a shop given by the Liu family, a Zhuangzi from the public, and a small shop owned by Aunt Bai herself. Jia Ting's dowry accounted for seven houses and fields.It is said that she is also the top among the concubine daughters of the capital's government, but the one from the public is only 700 taels of silver.

The rest of the antiques are from the public, and some have been accumulated by Aunt Bai over the years, they can fit thirteen pieces here and there.In addition, there are 26 sets of dowry utensils, gold and silver jewelry, window curtain cloth, four-season clothing, medicinal materials and spices.

"Old lady, madam, I put all the dowry gifts from Shi's family into Sister Ting's dowry, so I made up these 46 sets. I want to put them in Sister Ting's room when I go out It can also be equipped with eight sets. There are so many relatives and friends in our mansion, and there are at least ten sets when we add makeup, so it is easy to put together 64 sets for the dowry."

"We are the Duke's mansion anyway, and Sister Ting is the first daughter to marry. It is just in time for Uncle Zheng to marry the eldest sister of the Wang family early next year. It will be more lively, and it can be regarded as the face of our Duke's mansion. I arrange it like this , the old lady, does the lady look good?"

Mrs. Zhang said something, and Mrs. Liu was full of praise: "It's hard for you to be a small person, but you are thoughtful and appropriate. What kind of family is our family, we definitely can't treat the concubine so harshly. What’s more, if you consider Brother Zheng and Girl Min, it’s even more beneficial for you to be a sister-in-law. Don’t worry, my wife knows what you are like, and your wife can only praise you.”

After Liu Shi finished speaking, she took off a suet white jade bracelet from her wrist, and immediately brought it to Zhang Shi's wrist.This bracelet was given to Liu by the Empress Dowager when she saved the life of today's saint. It is of extraordinary value and even more significant. It seems that Liu is really satisfied with Zhang's actions.

After the dowry was arranged, Mrs. Zhang finally had some leisure time. Aunt Bai would take care of the rest of the wedding dress, companion room, etc., and she would not interfere.However, Zhang Shi's actions really pierced Jia Shishi's heart. She asked Zhang Shi to help her by being busy.

Mo Shu can already ascertain that Mrs. Zhang is nearly three months pregnant, and she is about to show her pregnancy. Such exhaustion is not good for Mrs. Zhang and the child in her stomach.The master and the servant discussed for a while, and invited an old doctor they knew well to come in for a consultation, taking advantage of the dizziness.

"Congratulations grandma, the family is about to have a baby. Grandma is in good health, but she doesn't need to drink those bitter medicine soups, just improve her self-cultivation." The old doctor took his own pulse, and then smiled to announce the good news to the master.Rongguo Mansion has always been generous, and this grandma was pregnant the moment she entered the house, so she shouldn't give her a top-notch reward.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Bai Shao, the first maid sent by the Liu family, couldn't help but congratulate him. Mo Shu gave the old doctor a festive purse, and ordered a woman to take him out carefully.Another money box was opened, and a lot of copper coins were distributed to the serving maids and women, so that everyone could be happy.

At that moment, the whole Rongguo Mansion knew that the eldest grandma Zhang was pregnant for almost three months, and the old lady Liu was overjoyed, and ordered everyone to pay three months' monthly money, and some of them sent the mother-in-law to Xiangguo Temple to light lamps and pray for blessings. It was a lot of fun.

When Jia She came back from outside in the evening, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north.Jia She is also a poor child. Although he is the eldest son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, he bears the name of Rongguo Gongshizi on his head, and the saint even named him Enhou. He looks like a bunch of flowers, but he Parents and fathers all despise him.

Jia Shi wished that his son would go early so that he could free up the position of heir in the Rongguo Mansion for his darling Jia Zheng.Jia Daishan didn't like this eldest son before, thinking that he likes extravagance and pomp, and he is not determined. He is also unfilial to his mother and unfriendly to his younger siblings.Although Mrs. Liu loves him in every possible way, Mrs. Liu is old after all, and the child still looks forward to the care of his parents, so Jia She feels very uncomfortable every time he thinks of his relatives.

"Here, is there really a child here?" Jia Amnesty sent out all the servant girls, and half lying beside Zhang Shi, stretched out his hand and carefully touched Zhang Shi's belly, looking very ignorant like that .

Mrs. Zhang is a little sad. Although Jia She is not a very capable person, he has a good heart, and his status can be regarded as a first-class prince and grandson in the whole capital, but it happens that he has not caught up with a pair of competent parents. Be in a trance like this.

"Yes, sir, this is our child, and he will be able to come out to see daddy in seven months. Grandpa can say hello to the baby first, he can hear you even though he is small." Mrs. Zhang pulled Jia She Putting his hands on his belly, Jia Amnesty took off his boots and got on the couch besides his coat.

He hugged Zhang Shi silently, and kept gently stroking Zhang Shi's still flat belly with his big hand.There is a child here, who is his blood relative, and will call him daddy obediently in the future!
