Mrs. Liao bit her lip: "When I got married, I also had a lot of red makeup."
"Yes, Shili Hongzhuang, the volumes in the east compartment can't even be filled up." Ming couldn't help but want to laugh.
She grew up in Duke Rong's mansion and didn't even have a natal family. Naturally, her dowry was not as good as others. But she was also good at running a business and had accumulated some wealth. Mrs. Duke Rong took pity on her and secretly gave her some.
She also runs a good business.
Therefore, her marriage was simple and her dowry was not obvious, but she still had a good foundation.
And what about Liao?
Liao's marriage was a sensation in the imperial city at that time. It aroused the envy of the world and said that I don't know how long. However, in fact, it was much more empty. There were boxes and boxes of books inside.
And it’s a transcript!
Probably all the books in the Liao family's collection were copied and used as dowry.
Books are precious things, and those who have many books in their homes are from wealthy families. Ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to find many books, and they cannot be found anywhere.
But for aristocratic families, only the original copies or original books left behind are valuable, and these transcripts are really not worth much.
Nowadays, it’s not that literature has been cut off, books have become treasures and hard to find.
All the families in the imperial city have the same in-laws, and many books are also the same. I don’t have this one in my family, so copying it and bringing it back is nothing.
If you find a few gentlemen and copy them every month or three, you can get a lot of books.
Therefore, this book has a different status among people in the world, but to say how valuable it is, it is really not very valuable. It is better to come to two profitable shops.
This dowry is really worthless.
That is why the Liao family, which boasts a century-old family heritage, did such a thing.
Mrs. Liao heard the other party's sarcasm and became furious: "What's wrong with the books? Those are the inheritance of our Liao family. How many people in the world can't ask for them? How can these gold, silver, yellow and white things be compared?"
of."
Ming said calmly: "Since you have said it, they are all gold, silver and yellow and white things. Those who hire people are also gold, silver and yellow and white things. If you don't use the books that you regard as treasures, why do you care? Here
indignant."
Mrs. Liao was choked, so angry that she felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Ming didn't bother to look at her face, so he said again: "Okay, I know you are upset, but this betrothal gift is based on what Crown Prince Cao used to get married, so it is not much. The rest was added by the ninth brother himself.
.”
"It's not a big deal if he wants to make a face to his fiancée. If you want to blame it, just blame the husband you married for being incompetent and blame him for what he did."
Mrs. Liao was so angry at these words that she almost vomited blood, and her face turned green and white. Seeing how irritated she was, Ms. Ming quickly asked someone to take her back to her own yard, not wanting to see her.
After they left, I took a sip of tea and felt completely relaxed.
Seeing Liao's devastated look, she was also very happy.
Really, something!
You are jealous of someone else's title, and you are jealous of their betrothal gift.
If Duke Rong retires in a few years and the family is divided, they won't get much. I'm afraid they will be so angry that they vomit blood.
The servant Zhi'er whispered: "Looking at her usual self-proclaimed appearance, I thought she was really a fairy daughter whose money was like dung. Now it's just a betrothal gift. I can't bear it anymore. I heard
It was better yesterday, so I'm here today."
I don’t know what possessed the Third Young Master to insist on marrying this woman back, which made the family uneasy, as if everyone wanted to do something based on her face.
Over the years, Ming did not know how much he had tolerated her for the sake of the peace of his family.
What is it!
Let her tell you, she would rather be given an advantage, Miss Xie, than be given an advantage, the Third Young Madam!
Mingshi sneered: "She thought I was the same as her."
Although it is true that there are more people than they did back then, the people who are hired away are still the gifts of the Xie family, which has been passed down for a long time, and they pay more attention to etiquette.
But it is true that today is different from the past. If there was a difference of a few years and the betrothal gifts were different, it would be a bit uncomfortable. But it has been fourteen or fifteen years, nothing can be the same.
Now that the world is at peace, various powerful and aristocratic families have also developed. According to the ceremony that has been done for more than ten years, this betrothal gift will become the laughing stock of the imperial city. The Xie family also feels that you are slapping them in the face and kicking people out.
All are light.
Moreover, what they got back then, after more than ten years of business, is money making money. If they run it well, they will get more than these betrothal gifts, who knows how much more.
If you have to compete with people who are more than ten years away, you are already a generation away. Isn’t this a source of frustration for you?
Zhi'er smiled and said: "After the Third Young Madam goes back this time, I'm afraid she will have another quarrel with the Third Young Master."
Ming didn't care: "It's just a quarrel."
Since you have to go to the trouble, then please let others go and toss your husband as much as you like.
After Rong Ting came back, Liao took advantage of this and had a quarrel with him.
Comparing the two, she was unwilling to be outdone by the Xie family and Xie Yixiao, and was angry at Rong Ting's incompetence, which could not bring her glory, but lost to others again and again.
Rong Ting looked at her constantly scolding her with a calm expression, as he had long been used to it.
When the other party got tired of scolding and stopped, he turned around and left.
When Mrs. Liao saw that instead of coaxing her this time, he turned around and left, she couldn't help being a little surprised and a little anxious: "Where are you going?"
Rong Ting's expression remained unchanged: "I've been busy all day, let's go take a break."
When Mrs. Liao heard him talking about being busy, her face turned ugly again. All the men in the house were busy. In addition to matters in the military camp, Rong Guogong was busy assisting His Majesty in handling matters, Rong Xun was busy with the Imperial Guards, and Rong Ci was busy
Wucheng Division.
But what is Rong Ting busy with?
He is just a small official, how can he be as busy as others?
"What are you so busy with? Listening to what you said, others may think you are a third-grade or second-grade minister in the court."
Rong Ting paused slightly, then closed his eyes: "Even though I am just a small official, in my position, I have to do everything I have to do. I don't want to hear these words anymore."
Even though he is only a small official, he has been running the business for many years. Although he is not as high as others, and although there are some trivial things, he feels that he is quite happy to continue doing it like this.
His ability is average and he is not as outstanding as his elder brother and younger brother, but at least he is not idle and has done something, even if it is really just a small thing.
Mr. Liao didn't understand what was so important about this small official position: "I can't say anything. As long as you have some skills, you won't stay here all these years. That Rong Ci, as soon as you take office, you will be the third-rank and five-city secretary."
