The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 118

    In addition, when Cui Xingzhou was making a scene at the Qing Guogong’s mansion, Miantang was cooking soup for her aunt herself.

    Little confinement hurts the body more than the big confinement, and you have to be careful about everything. Li’s mother shook her fan and sighed slightly: “I don’t know if the prince will be able to straighten things out when he is here.”

    Miantang is not worried: “Your lord goes out, there is nothing that can’t be done. Besides, what they do with the lady of the Qing country is not human. Even if you go to the government office to file a lawsuit, we will take care of it… Yes Now, my sister can’t worry about it now, you can ask her personal maid to come and sort out her dowry list, and then you can ask the prince to send someone to carry it, and you won’t want to take any advantage of Qingguo Gongfu!”

    Mother Li is an old man, so she naturally thinks differently than Miantang, she only said: “I haven’t told the concubine about this yet, if she finds out, she will definitely be upset for the eldest lady…”

    Mian Tang smiled slightly: “My sister is still young, and she can’t afford to delay her youth. There are so many talented young people in the capital, this time I have to choose a reliable house for her, and wait for my sister to be second. Duan marriage has a look, and then tell her mother, so that she can save the old man from worrying about it.”

    Mother Li felt that the sky was about to fall, and in the eyes of the prince and his wife, it was like rubble, as if it was no big deal. The present custom acts.

    Miantang saw that the sea bass in the casserole was still simmering, so she instructed Mama Li to take care of the pot herself. She took off her apron and left with Bicao and a few maids. Small kitchen.

    When she walked to the moon gate connecting the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, Miantang saw Lu Yi leading two brothers waiting there.

    So she asked the other maids except Bi Cao to stand further away, then walked over and asked, “You acted yesterday, haven’t you been seen?”

    Lu Yi clasped his fists and said in a low voice: “There is no one in the back mountain, we used the wine we carried with us to fuel the fire, drew a paddock in the shape of Guanyin to burn, and then hid in the dark for a while. Some monks came to put out the fire. When the monks saw that the fire was in the shape of a Bodhisattva, they were so frightened that they knelt down and prayed and recited the scriptures. We had already left by then.”

    Miantang nodded and said: “Go to the market to find some children, make up the matter of the Duke’s wife of Qing forcing her daughter-in-law, and angering the appearance of the Bodhisattva, and then give it to the Duke of Qing. Fame… In addition, many people have been implicated this time, in fact, if we look closely, we are the one who set the fire… Go and give them some money, lest they lose their food and clothing because of their injuries.”

    Lu Yi disagreed: “We just set fire, but we didn’t ram the people with a carriage. Why should we pay money? Only women surnamed Sun should accept this account!”

    Although Lu Yi has brains among the four brothers, his anger is hard to change, and even nine donkeys can’t pull back his stubbornness.

    Miantang said with a stern face: “The girl is now the concubine in the palace, and letting her take the money is to make the emperor admit his mistake, I don’t have the ability, or you will go to the palace to put it Huo, let’s see if she can make money?”

    When Lu Yi saw it, he knew that he had made the boss unhappy by talking back.

    When Cui Xingzhou came back, he sent the document Heli to his sister first, saying that the Guo family agreed.

    Cui Fu didn’t care about the dowry, just that the Guo family wouldn’t let Jin’er beside her. Now that he saw that it was written in Heli’s document, before the age of thirteen, Jin’er had been raised by her side and was relieved. Jin’er is the direct son of the Duke of Qing, and he will inherit the title in the future. Naturally, the surname Cui cannot be changed. When she was thirteen years old, even if she didn’t divorce Guo Yi, Jin’er should go to school and leave her parents’ side in the academy.

    Thinking of not having to go back to face Madam Guo’s face, Cui Fu felt a lot more relaxed.

    However, when I asked for a dowry, there were some twists and turns. Miantang was pregnant, so it was inconvenient to go to the palace, so she asked Li’s mother to take the three stewards to check the loading.

    When the eldest girl got married, it was the good time of the Huaiyang Prince’s Mansion. In order to match the status of the Duke’s Mansion, the old Huaiyang Prince bought a dowry for this daughter.

      After all, the old prince has made great military exploits and received numerous awards. In addition, he has a solid fief, and naturally has a lot of oil and water.

    However, the palace of Qingguo is a scholarly family, and it does not encourage children to go out and have fun, so after Guo Yi became a family, the monthly number of months was also limited, and Guo Yi was naturally good at socializing , Going out with classmates is often stretched, not very decent.

    After Guo Yi became an official, it was better, but what was spent in the past became a hole.

    Mother Li asked the cost of silver item by item with a sullen face. Mrs. Guo couldn’t take it anymore, so she said angrily: “She pays attention to food and clothing herself, and she can buy all kinds of golden hairpins. Naturally, she spends her own money, so why do you want me to buy it from the Qing Kingdom’s palace now? “

    Mother Li’s face was as if the ink had been overturned, and the old man said: “Our eldest lady said that the fine silver is too lazy to ask for it, and it is only regarded as Zhou Jibao’s settlement. But Mrs. When you held the fiftieth birthday banquet, you disliked the inexact furniture in your house, so you fell in love with the dowry of the flower pear gall in our eldest lady’s house, and you should buy it in the same way. But your son’s salary for half a year , is not enough to buy a full carved bed, so we have to take care of our eldest lady borrowing a sum of filial piety. The whole set of rosewood furniture is still well placed in your house, Mrs. You see Should this be settled?”

    The money was originally from Cui Fu’s dowry shop, and there are traces to check. Mrs. Guo was so angry that her hairpins were shaking, and she said bitterly, “Since she is no longer my daughter-in-law, I naturally don’t care about her phony filial piety, you go to my house and make some adjustments, and let the Cui family take care of her. Take away the tattered furniture!”

    Mother Li turned the page again and said: “Master Guo originally came to the capital and needed some contacts, and he once borrowed a loan from our eldest lady. Now that you are promoted, you can enjoy it. It’s not our lady, and this money has to be made up.”

    When Mrs. Guo heard this, she gave up and said with a sullen face: “The husband and wife negotiated the expenses themselves, so what’s the deal with the government?”

    Mother Li received Miantang’s order earlier, and said with a grin: “This money was spent, in exchange for Mr. Guo’s rising step by step, otherwise how can you establish a foothold in the capital? You guys? The old and young people in the Guogong’s mansion are all involved, how can it have nothing to do with the Qingguo-gong’s mansion?”

    Mrs. Guo glared and said, “Don’t mention these things to me! Whoever spends the money will talk to him!” Anyway, Guo Yi had already excused himself to patrol the countryside and temporarily left Beijing to avoid the limelight. She refuses to admit it, what will the Cui family do?

    It’s all a royal mansion, how can you act so rudely? These silver, but also a lot of money!

    Mother Li was not in a hurry at all, she just said exactly what Miantang told her: “If there is any difficulty in the house, our eldest lady will not embarrass you, she is lost. The husband’s family, the family of women and Daoists who had nothing to rely on, simply gave up their shame and asked for it from house to house according to the threshold that Mr. Guo had worshipped at the beginning. I think that those princes and gentlemen are also shameful, and they will not shamelessly occupy and leave. The woman’s dowry money. Then we’ll go, while it’s still early, we should be able to get three or five mansions…”

     Mrs. Guo was in a hurry. If Cui Fu really acted like this, wouldn’t her son offend countless dignitaries in the capital circle? How can you still stand in the court?

    “Stop for me!” Mrs. Guo hurriedly stopped Mama Li, and she was so angry that her eyes rolled over and over again, and finally said with restraint, “I will pay for this money. !”

    After Mama Li counted the silver notes, and checked that the dowry was not stolen, she asked someone to carry the box and leave.

    The long motorcade, filled with ten carts, headed back to the Huaiyang Palace in a mighty way.

    Because there are many furnishings, they were all borrowed by Guo Yi at the beginning, which was used as a scene of a new house in the capital. At this time, it was cleaned up, and the entire hall of Qing Guo Gong’s mansion seemed empty.

    Although Mrs. Guo does not miss Cui Fu, she is reluctant to bear so many things.

    Guo Yixin’s concubine Yurao saw that her mother-in-law was upset, so she obediently came over to explain: “Mother, they can take it away, so that you don’t get upset when you think about that woman. .”

    Mrs. Qing Guogong was out of breath, and when she saw Yu Rao, she was angry and said: “At least people took the box when they married, how about you? Although it is a concubine , but also have to bring something to fill the place? I came in almost empty-handed, and only brought a mouth to eat, may it help your husband? “

      I just want to find a more decent in-law than the Cui family in the future, and I always have to let the Cui family see, her son will not worry about a good girl to marry!

    Yu Rao was scolded with red eyes for a while, so she could only hold back her anger and knelt down to be disciplined.

    Seeing the servants of the Duke of Qing Dynasty, they shook their heads in their hearts – no wonder Madam such a good person can’t stay, so she has to make trouble! Such a mother-in-law is really unlucky!

    Because of her dowry, Cui Fu also has the confidence to raise her confinement.

    Miantang couldn’t rest in peace, when Cui Xingzhou came back, he saw Miantang flipping through several thick books.

    Cui Xingzhou came over, kneaded her slender shoulders and said, “Isn’t you tired from tossing around yesterday? Why did you get tired of your eyes?”

    Miantang pointed to the booklet and said, “This is the booklet of the servants in the mansion. I want to sort it out again… I’m afraid this yard is not very clean!”
