[Quick Transmigration] The Red Chamber abused me a thousand times

How the Eldest Master and the Eldest Wife discussed how to make things difficult for the Second Wife, Pearl naturally didn't know, she now accompanied her own daughter to beat Miss Lin to "talk" every morning.Fortunately, after the old housekeeper of the Lin Mansion came that day, everyone already knew about Daiyu's engagement. The two girls who were both engaged could communicate with each other in a way that was understandable and not eye-catching.

Unexpectedly, Yuanyang came to talk to her that day, so he had to let Siqi go with the girl.The mandarin duck looked mysterious again, which made Pearl feel that the old lady's job in the house was really easy to do, and the big girl in charge came out immediately after she said it: "What's the matter, but our girl, what's the matter that keeps you so busy?"

Yuanyang pinched her: "Now you're smart too. How do you know it's about your girls?"

Pearl just laughed: "If it wasn't for our girl, why would you make such a trip. The old lady, how can I leave you."

No matter how calm he is on weekdays, Yuanyang is also an ordinary person.Are there any ordinary people who don't like to hear compliments?Pearl has never seen it.Over the years, she deliberately maintained the relationship with Yuanyang, and wanting to use her to know some news was just one of them. In fact, she had a different sympathy for this girl in her heart.The relationship between the two has always been better than others, so Pearl rarely compliments her on weekdays. This is more than just a sentence, which makes Yuanyang laugh again:

"I just said that you are clever, and now you can even say flattery. It's not in vain for me to go through this."

"It's really our girl's business?" Pearl felt that the second girl these days, apart from stealing lessons from Miss Lin, was just doing needlework every afternoon, and she always had a lot of greetings, so she shouldn't be singled out.

Seeing her anxious, Yuanyang hurriedly comforted her: "Sometimes bad things happen, but it's good."

Pearl hurriedly asked: "What good thing can it be our girl's turn. She has never been favored by the old lady."

Yuanyang only said: "Don't worry about the old lady's eyes, anyway, the marriage is also settled. Now the dowry has to be packed."

It turned out that it was for the dowry, and Pearl was even more puzzled: "Now that the entire government is busy building provincial gardens, how can we still find someone to take care of our girl's dowry? To tell you the truth, we worry about it every day playing chess. The dowry is too thin, even if it is a concubine's daughter-in-law, it will make people laugh. How can we girls behave after we leave the cabinet."

Seeing that her words do not seem to be fake, the more Yuanyang believes that this time it is the Eldest Master and Eldest Wife who have spent so much time in visiting the Second Household Girl and feel dissatisfied that they used the Second Household Girl's dowry to make trouble.So he talked about the past few days with Pearl one by one:

After Jia Amnesty mentioned Madam Xing that day, Madam Xing acted the next day.She is Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law, and she sent someone to invite Wang Xifeng to the East Courtyard. Even if she didn't want to, Wang Xifeng had to go there once.When Mrs. Xing saw her, she directly displayed the sign of the elder, and asked Jia Lian and his wife to prepare a dowry for Yingchun.

How could Wang Xifeng take over such a hot potato, but facing her mother-in-law, she could only listen to her complaints and sarcasm, and refused to let her go back to the mansion to handle the affairs.The mother-in-law kept her, but Wang Xifeng pointed out two things and couldn't escape, so she had to wait for Mrs. Xing to serve the old lady for dinner before going to the Rongqing Hall together.

The second wife was naturally dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng for not doing the housework all morning, but the eldest wife was watching, so she couldn't do it in front of the old lady.After the old lady finished her meal, the first lady wanted to ask Wang Xifeng to go back to the East Courtyard together, and the second wife couldn't bear it any longer: "The eldest lady is looking for Miss Feng, but there is something important that can't be done. There are also a bunch of them here." Things are waiting for her."

The eldest wife only said: "It's not just important things. Now her sister is going to leave the cabinet, and I have to ask her to give me advice on many things. I only said that she is here to help the second wife, but now we have things over there too. , I have to let the second wife spend more time on her own."

When the second wife heard that it was okay, the family-visiting garden was being built at a critical time, and Wang Xifeng was staring at it everywhere.It's not easy to say that Wang Xifeng is not allowed to take care of my sister-in-law, so I can only say: "The second girl's happy life has not been settled yet?"

The eldest wife just smiled, but the smile probably didn't reach her eyes: "Second wife is funny, preparing for marriage is not just about the girl embroidering the wedding dress herself. The family also has to prepare the dowry for the girl. It's just that we don't have much stuff there, so I have to ask Second Mistress to give me advice on where to save money."

As soon as these words came out, the second wife's face was red.As the wife of the family, she naturally knew that the girl was getting married, and the public should have made preparations long ago.But recently, when she built a family garden, she asked for money eight times, so she spent the money first.Seeing that the second wife had nothing to say, the eldest wife would naturally take her daughter-in-law with her.

The old lady couldn't see it, and she knew how the mansion could turn around without Wang Xifeng.I had no choice but to ask: "Have you drawn up the dowry list? If there is one in the treasury, just find it and fill it in. Why buy it outside?"

The eldest lady was respectful to the old lady: "It's just that I don't know the old rules in the mansion, so the daughter-in-law asked the second grandmother to ask." She bit the word "daughter-in-law" so hard that the old lady made her choke and couldn't speak. .

The second wife thought for a while and said: "According to the old rules, the dowry of 3000 taels is given to a girl born in the mansion to leave the court."

The eldest wife was determined to make the second wife look bad, lest she really think that the house really belonged to the second wife, so she immediately dismissed it: "Our master said that he only has a girl like the second girl, and even if she is married as a dowry, it will not hinder others. What. Anyway, he is still a first-class general. If the girl’s dowry is thin, not to mention that her in-laws don’t look good, even if people say that Concubine Xiande’s younger sister is shabby, Empress Yu’s face will also be tarnished.”

Although the second wife was a little bit worried when she heard the first-class general from the first-class wife, but she was caught by her daughter's face, so she couldn't say anything, so she had to look at the old lady.The old lady is old and mature, how can she not see that the eldest lady will not give up if she wants the dowry for the Spring Festival?It's just that now the most important thing is to visit the mother's relatives. It is necessary to appease the eldest family first, and then there will be a day to deal with them.

"It doesn't matter if the old lady decides to let someone open the public treasury and follow the eldest wife to choose the dowry for the second girl." Yuanyang sighed: "This time the eldest wife will be successful. I will only start from the second grandmother, but someone pushes her away." With one sound, someone immediately called Second Mistress to call back."

It is so!Pearl really didn't expect that the eldest wife would use this trick for their girls.In fact, it was she who thought too much of the eldest wife. She searched the warehouse in the past two days, but she didn't take the things into her room.But even if she knew, Pearl didn't care, as long as there were many of the second girl's, even if the eldest wife emptied the storeroom, it would have nothing to do with her.

"Good sister, has the old lady decided yet, how many sets of dowry is our girl? How much is the money in the box?"

Yuanyang said: "The old lady said that even if the eldest master only has the second girl and one daughter, but the two families are not separated, it is not good to be too different from the sisters, and it will be difficult to get along with each other in the future. Compared with the original 48-year-old rule , plus 66 sets, a total of 2000 sets, in addition to the [-] taels from the public, the old lady loves the girl, and she pays an extra [-] taels."

Speaking of this, she didn't know what made her feel ridiculous, so she burst out laughing.Pearl was puzzled, and asked her: "This is a good thing, what are you laughing at, sister, can you be happy for our girl?"

Yuanyang shook his head, and finally stopped laughing: "You don't know, after the old lady said that she gave out 2000 taels to the second girl to press the box, the eldest lady was very happy, and she didn't know how to hide it. Who knows that the old lady has something to say waiting for her Well. It is said that her old grandmother paid 2000 taels. I don’t know how much the old man and the old lady are parents. The old lady was stunned by the question, and the color on her face changed again and again, so I had to go back and talk to Grandpa discusses."

Pearl also has nothing to say to the eldest wife.Just when she thought she was resourceful, she asked the old lady to join the army again, which really didn't count.Fortunately, it sounds like the dowry of Yingchun is enough to be a concubine's daughter-in-law, and any more will attract the eyes of the head of the family's Zhen Guogong's house.

"Thank you sister for coming to tell me. Our girl may have a good night's sleep now. You don't know, after hearing that Miss Lin's dowry has been prepared, our girl didn't say anything, and she didn't sleep on her pillow for several nights Woolen cloth."

After Yuanyang heard this, she also felt sorry: "Oh, these are still girls. Fortunately, the eldest lady is willing to stand up for the second girl this time. Otherwise, her aunt left early, and she is not very popular with the old lady, so I don't know how to deal with it." In the past."

"No, the third girl still has Aunt Zhao at any rate, and the fourth girl is the daughter-in-law of the East Mansion. Even Mrs. Jing's own dowry is enough, and it's only our girl who suffers. Now it's okay, just waiting for our girl If you are married, please be filial to the eldest wife."

Yuanyang also nodded: "I think the eldest lady may not have such thoughts in her heart. But what should you do? Can you talk to Siqi about the body contract?"

Pearl had no choice but to shake her head: "I told Siqi about it, but her grandmother has some high expectations."

That is to think that Siqi will go out with the second girl, and then he will be the second uncle's roommate: "I don't think Siqi is such a big-hearted person, why can't she let her go at home?"

It's not necessarily up to the family to play chess, but his family doesn't care about this matter, and the second girl can't speak up by herself.Pearl had no choice but to say: "We can only take one step at a time. You think we were thinking about the second girl's dowry, and we also felt that it was extremely difficult. Who knew that the eldest wife had already made plans for the second girl."

Yuanyang is not optimistic: "Everything is so easy." To prepare the dowry for the second girl, she alone heard several women talking, saying that it was the things that the eldest wife picked out now, and there were no fewer than sixty sets.This is not counting the clothes that must be purchased now, and the new styles of jewelry that should be available.It is profitable, so the eldest wife will naturally work hard, but what benefits does the two maids have for the eldest wife?

Pearl also has other worries: following the second girl out of the cabinet, it is not good for her to mention the matter of redemption when the girl is not on her feet.But if she doesn't go out of the cabinet with the second girl, she is afraid that if she stays in this mansion, she won't know when the building will collapse. If she has not come to redeem herself when it collapses, pointing at the Hua family, she might as well fail to complete the task and accept the way of heaven directly. punishment.
