Chapter 112: Dowry controversy
Chapter 112 The Dowry Disturbance
The news of the betrothal gift spread throughout the General's Mansion overnight, and everyone began to envy Third Miss. Before the third lady, King Yinjun had three fiancees, but all of them were killed by King Yinjun. Miss San is different, she is living a good life!
"Prince Yinjun is really afraid that he won't be able to find a daughter-in-law, isn't he? This is so happy that he didn't die, ten loads of gold, tsk tsk tsk, our general's mansion can't eat it all in a lifetime!" said a sweeping woman .
"That's not the case!" Maid A jumped out and retorted, "It's obvious that the county king likes our third lady and thinks highly of our third lady!"
"That's it!" Maid B agreed, "The county king handed over the private money before the third lady came through the door, and said he didn't like it, do you believe it?"
The woman sighed: "It seems to be right. In this way, I think the prince is too stingy. The county king can get ten dan gold, so he should take twenty dan!"
The servant girl Bing snorted and said, "It's not that the prince is stingy! It's that the prince doesn't like the second lady! Do you remember the former king? He married two wives, and they were all stingy. They didn't even give the dowry, so they just carried them home." Alright! When it comes to the third one, I can’t wait to buy half of the city as a gift for her! Men, if you like it, you’re generous, if you don’t like it, you’re all miserly!”
A group of people all laughed.
Scrooge, don't like...
Ning Xi behind the rockery turned green when he heard it!
Stupid as a pig thing!
Who said Xuan Yu doesn't like her? She is better than Ma Ningyue in every way, Xuan Yu will definitely be devoted to her!
Is it true that Xuan Yin gave so much gold because he likes Ma Ningyue? That no-brainer just wants to show off his money. Xuan Yu wants military exploits, military exploits, and talents to learn, so he doesn't need to slap his face like Xuan Yin to pretend to be fat!
Trash with straw bag, these two people are really a perfect match!
Just wait and see, Ma Ningyue, even if we get married on the same day, I will definitely marry better than you!
Back to the Millennium Courtyard, Lin Yonghe was counting the dowry with Luzhu. The dowry is roughly composed of three parts: the regulations of the public, the make-up of the old lady, and the make-up of the mother-in-law.
Ning Yue is a concubine, and Ning Xi is a concubine. Although the back is straightened, she is somewhat shorter. The public standard is one thousand taels less than Ning Yue. The old lady gave the same, three thousand taels of silver per person plus a shop, and the rest of Lin Yonghe's share...
Lin Yonghe's face was a little ugly.
She entered the General's Mansion as an aunt, but the Lin family didn't give a dowry, and the Ma family didn't give a dowry. Although I have saved a lot of money in running Zhongfu and shops in these years, it is too shabby to go to the palace...after all.
"Mom, where is my dowry?" Ning Xi lifted the curtain and came in with a face full of pride. In her opinion, the food she ate and used was better than Ning Yue's, and the dowry... must be better than Ning Yue's!
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Lin Yonghe's face became gloomy for a moment: "It's time to order, sit down for a while, are you hungry? It's not time for dinner, let's eat some crab roe crisps to pad your stomach first." Looking at Lu Zhu , "Bring the crab cakes to Ningxi."
"Yes." Lu Zhu opened the food box, and put a stack of delicate and delicious crab cakes by Ning Xi's hand.
Where is Ningxi in the mood to eat at this time? She just wanted to quickly know how much better her dowry was than that little **** Ning Yue. She wanted to slap her in the face severely and trample her on the soles of her feet, so that people would know who was the head mistress of the palace!
"Mother, let me see the list." As she spoke, she took the list from Lin Yonghe. Twist casually, frown, "Why only seven pages?"
She read the betrothal gift list of the palace, it was a full thirty-eight pages!
She looked at another thicker list on the table, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "This is mine!"
Thirty pages, gold and silver jewelry, jade ingredients, silk and satin, farm shops... everything you need, not much worse than the palace!
She smiled triumphantly.
However, when she saw that the signature on the last page was Ma Ningyue, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Mom, are you right? So many... things... all belong to that little bitch?"
How is she so rich?
Lin Yonghe's face was a bit embarrassing, Lin Lanzhi left so much dowry for her daughter, in comparison, she looked much poorer, and in her poverty, she had to give half of it to subsidize her son, unlike Ning Yue who belonged to Lin Lanzhi How can a single seedling inherit everything that Lin Lanzhi has incomparably rich?
Lin Yonghe couldn't step down for a while: "Lanzhi was married by the Ming matchmaker. The Ma family gave sixty-eight dan dowry, and the Lin family took another fifty-eight dan dowry. Your grandmother added another ten thousand taels of silver, and your uncle added five Qianliang, your grandfather also secretly gave two Zhuangzi..."
The only legitimate daughter, married off like a princess.
Ning Xi was in a hurry: "Where's yours?"
Lin Yonghe's knuckles holding the handkerchief were faintly white: "Mine... are all on the list."
Ning Xi looked at the lonely seven-page paper, and opened his eyes in disbelief: "That's all? It's not even half of Ning Yue's! No dowry can compare!"
Lin Yonghe had a headache.
Ningxi was so wronged that he cried: "Xuanyin even sent money from his own house, which is slapping me in the face... It's fine if I lose the dowry to her, why is the dowry less than her?"
Lin Yonghe pressed his sore head: "Isn't there still a few months left? I'll think of a way."
"What solution can you think of? Find your father or your uncle? They won't give it to you." Ning Xi choked up and sniffed. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Mom, I have a solution!"
