The Reincarnation of the World of Red Mansions

Baochai holds a cup of scented tea in his hand, looking pensive.Aunt Xue came in and saw Baochai's appearance, so she knew what was going on with Baochai. "What's the matter, what's the matter with you little sisters?"

"No." Baochai put down the cup, stood up and took Aunt Xue's arm. "I heard something by chance, and I feel that my sister-in-law is a bit out of touch." Baochai's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, with a little shyness on her face.

"You've heard that, in fact, it should be said to be stingy." Aunt Xue said with a light smile. "Actually, I knew about your sister-in-law before she married in. Your sister-in-law often heard her sister worrying about money at her natal home. Her elder brother and father are of good character. It's just that the whole family loves ancient calligraphy and painting. Apart from expenses and Some are saved every year, and most of the others are used to buy ancient paintings and books.

Men are not as careful as women. In their view, the family has enough food and clothing, and a sum of money is left every year for major events such as marriage and daughter-in-law.Except for the immovable income of the family every year, they always try their best to use it to buy those calligraphy and paintings they like.

When women go out to socialize, they only rely on the fixed things in the public house.When you go out to a banquet, ask for nice clothes and beautiful jewelry.The clothes in the public house are not as good as those specially made for the banquet.There are also jewellery, one piece of exquisite jewelry is comparable to the two or three pieces stipulated by the public.

Most of the parents of rich families want to make up for one or two in private, but your sister-in-law's brothers and father always have some good things in their hearts, waiting for money to buy them outside.So only the mother-in-law used her own dowry to make up for it, but the mother-in-law gave birth to two boys and two girls, how much can she make up for your sister-in-law.

I found out that your sister-in-law has been gossiped about because of the clothes and jewelry she wore for the banquet, and was even scolded face-to-face by a young lady from a meritorious family once.Although your sister-in-law refuted it back then and handled it well, I'm afraid she felt uncomfortable. "

Aunt Xue picked up the scented tea that Cui'er had just served and drank it slowly, Baochai thought for a while, "Although I said so, it's a bit ugly after all."

"What's not good, you heard some rumors. You also know that for the sake of the next generation in the family, it is better to choose a girl from a scholarly family. Besides, you also know your brother's temperament, he is a loose one. If you choose a noble My daughter-in-law, I don't know how much property I can leave behind.

And although your sister-in-law is a bit stingy, but your brother explained, she didn't say anything.And the housekeeper she married into, you still said it was okay, and the gifts between relatives and friends are also well taken care of.Even if you have some snacks, it's not that she didn't put her emotions on them when the young ladies of the Jia family came. The reception was very good, and she also taught you a lot of knowledge.Finally, I also gave Lin Yatou a collection of ancient poems, a chessboard and chess pieces from Yingchun, a famous copybook from Tanchun, and paper suitable for drawing from Xichun. "

"That's a lot in her dowry." Baochai said a little bit angrily.

"Then she has to take it out, you must know that the value is not low." Aunt Xue laughed. "Okay, fortunately you chose the candidate given by your aunt. You are a military general, so you don't need so many antique calligraphy and paintings in your dowry. If you choose a civil servant, your mother will have to save the suitable antiques left in the storehouse at home. Put it on, and go to ask for help from your in-laws. It’s just that the marriage is too far away, so how can I rest assured.”

"Mother" Baochai choked up, "I will come back often, and I will live a good life. Besides, it doesn't mean that we will separate after we get married, and the conflicts between me and my sister-in-law will be much less. Mother believes that I'm sure to be fine."

"That's right, it's thanks to their family's experience of their brothers turning against each other because of their property. Although the family separated as soon as they got married, the cohesion of the family was much less, but the relationship is better."

The division of the Li family this time may be a bit of a disadvantage for my uncle, after all, the palms and backs of the parents are full of meat.The dowries of the other daughters-in-law of the Li family were not as large as Baochai's. If Baochai's dowries were too large, the Li family's parents would inevitably favor the other children.Parents always hope that their children are as good as they are. Those who are capable give way or are incapable, and those who have money give way to those who do not have so much money.I just don't know if the child will think so.

According to the investigation, Uncle Li probably wouldn't say anything.Just remind Baochai, don't show any dissatisfaction then.

After Baochai left, Aunt Xue took Baochai's dowry list and looked at it.The list is mainly divided into five categories, real estate, farmland, wooden furniture placed on the ground, decorations, cosmetics and daily necessities.

Among them, a house with three courtyards in the capital city has a good location, and there is also a Wujin real estate in Li's local area.In addition, there is a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital and several Zhuangzi in other places, wooden furniture, decorations, cosmetics and daily necessities placed on the ground.

Looking at the list, she said to the nurse in charge, "I remember that there are coral Buddha head pagodas, a pair of golden pine spirit birthday hairpins, a pair of nasturtium bonsai hairpins, gold inlaid coral tops,... Add it in."

"Ma'am, maybe there will be a little more. After all, Miss will use her natal family in the future." Wang Momo suggested from the side.

"You're too careful. Pan'er loves his younger sister, and Pan'er's wife is sensible. Her son wants to get ahead, except her natal family is Baochai's husband's family. As for Jia's family, she can't see any return at all. She doesn't have much friendship, and doesn't like Jia's family style. In addition, she admires the girls of Jia's family, and knows that most of the money for the construction of the family-saving villa comes from Miss Lin, but there are gossips in the house." Aunt Xue didn't raise her head. Look at the list and think about what you can add in the warehouse.
