Zhao Liya: "Okay, then you have to open your eyes and see clearly! If you have nothing else to do, Mrs. Lu San, please come back! I am very busy, and someone will come to say goodbye soon, so I don't have time to chat with Mrs. Lu San.
Already."
Hearing her intention of seeing off the guests, Zhou Rui stood up with a sneer: "Think of me as a stranger!"
She really couldn't bear to be angry, so Zhao Liya smiled and said: "Hey, I'm not afraid of Mrs. Lu Sanshao's jokes. There are so many people coming to congratulate her that I'm so busy that I can't even find time to eat. Occasionally,
I have a little free time, and I still have to pack up the dowry! There are really too many things in the dowry, and there are sixty-six betrothal gifts from the Duke's Palace alone. My parents didn't leave anything, and insisted on giving them all to me.
They were all taken away as dowries. Not to mention other things, there were two sets of red sandalwood frames, sixteen double-sided embroidered screens, eight sets of gold, silver, gem and emerald headpiece jewelry, satin and cloud brocade, and jade bowls and glazed lamps, which were worth more than 200,000 silver.
, as well as the gifts sent by the empress and other nobles in the palace, all of which are priceless. In addition, the 200,000 yuan dowry prepared by the family, and the gifts sent by various families. It is really a headache to sort it out! I don’t know Mrs. Lu Sanshao
Why don't you tell me how you tidied it up at that time, and teach me your experience."
Zhou Rui: "."
Zhou Rui was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
How shameless can someone say such a thing? It’s so abominable! It’s so abominable!
Dowry, dowry. Where does she have any decent dowry? Compared with Zhao Liya, it's nothing but heaven and earth! She doesn't believe it at all. Zhao Liya doesn't know - how could Zhou Hansheng not tell her? She is deliberately showing off in front of her.
Got it!
At that time, I just wanted to get tens of thousands more taels of silver from my father-in-law, but my uncle and Zhou Hansheng and his son firmly disagreed no matter what. Even when the old lady came forward to speak, they did not give in even a step, and in the end they didn't get a single penny.
Give more to yourself.
As a result, I left the cabinet in a humble position, and became even more contemptuous and looked down upon by others!
But listen to what Zhao Liya said, two hundred thousand taels! Two hundred thousand taels! These are only the most valuable items among them! You can imagine how much the total betrothal gift they gave was!
I'm afraid there are more than 200,000 or more than 300,000, right?
Mrs. Tuesday nodded, "That's natural."
Zhou Rui took a breath of cold air and sneered repeatedly.
Of course Zhou Hansheng couldn't bear it!
Coincidentally, the Prince of Pengyang House is now seeking a fifth-grade position in Dali Temple. Although the grade is not high, it is a good position that is easy to make contributions and can be easily promoted. As long as nothing goes wrong, he can pass the third-grade position.
In five years, there is no problem in being promoted to the fourth rank. For a noble son who rests on the merits of his ancestors, such a position is already very impressive.
It's a pity that they can't get it because the Duke doesn't allow it. But the old lady is incompetent and can't handle the stepson at all.
You're already married and why don't you stop?
Mrs. Tuesday was so angry that her chest hurt, "Did she really say that? There are so many betrothal gifts, how could it be so much!"
Zhao Liya was eager for her to ask, so she pointed her fingers and mentioned several valuable items, including twenty thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold. She smiled and said, "My father and mother did some rough calculations, and there are three hundred and fifty sixty thousand."
Well, it’s not just a betrothal gift, it’s also compensation. In fact, they can’t be blamed for what happened in the past, so why is there any need to compensate? But the Duke of Guo said, just take it if you give it, and the Duke’s office is willing.”
Duke Liguo's mansion has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, which is definitely not a small amount of money.
When the time comes, Zhao Liya can't even think about having a good life.
They are really willing to give it up!
Zhou Rui then sneered full of malice: "Master Zhao, Mrs. Zhao does love Miss Zhao. After Miss Zhao comes here, she must respect her elders!"
Mrs. Tuesday sneered: "What she said is probably true. The father-in-law and his sister-in-law personally drew up the betrothal gift list, and sent it to the Zhao family without even showing it to the old lady. If they hadn't gone too far, why didn't they do it?
Dare you show it to the old lady! Zhao Liya, the little bitch, is too young to hide things. She insists on showing off in front of you. How could she not tell the truth? Wait until she passes the door and see how the old lady deals with her!"
If Wen Limo hadn't rebelled and the entire bureaucracy had been purged to varying degrees from top to bottom, they wouldn't have been able to pursue this opportunity.
Zhou Rui gloated: "That bitch is being cunning. Please help the old lady more. Mother, you have to make plans early. Don't dream about it when all this huge family property falls into the hands of the big family!"
However, it has nothing to do with your second or third bedroom, so don’t think too much about it.
Zhou Rui had somewhat sensed what she meant, and snorted disdainfully. She must convey the news to her mother carefully and explain it clearly in detail. If she didn't tell anyone else, the old lady would not be the first to give in.
Uncle, they are really good at planning!
This huge sum of property came from the public house as a betrothal gift. After Zhao Liya took it back as a dowry, it became the private property of the big house! Every time they went in and out, it was the public house that was harmed, but it fed the big house. They were really good at it.
!
Zhou Rui's face turned pale with anger, she couldn't help but said a few more sour words, and left angrily.
Zhao Liya smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's natural, elders should be filial!"
Zhou Rui couldn't help but said again: "I wonder how many betrothal gifts the Duke's mansion gave me?"
My heart hurts so much and I feel so angry.
Especially since Peng Yang's residence has been in decline over the years, such a position is even more valuable.
My husband's career as an official has been blocked by the Duke of the State, so of course he needs to make more money, otherwise wouldn't he suffer a big loss?
Zhao Liya's passing may be a good opportunity
Zhao Liya didn't get used to Zhou Rui, so she ordered someone to send a letter to Zhou Hansheng that day, telling Zhou Rui that he had come to show off his power and cause trouble.
Zhou Rui calmed down a bit now, and sneered lightly: "Maybe she just wanted to make me angry and said too much on purpose, but it certainly won't be too little."
She did not go back directly to Uncle Pengyang's Mansion, but changed her route and went back to the Duke's Mansion. When she met her mother, Mrs. Tuesday, she vehemently retold what she had just heard from Zhao Liya, adding extravagance and jealousy.
He was bleeding so hard, and he could at least use the connections of the Liguo Government, so he was barely qualified to fight for this matter.
But, so what?
Zhou Hansheng said a word lightly, without even saying it explicitly, just hinting at it, and all the hard work and heavy bleeding of the Peng Yang family were in vain.
The reason? Simple, the third young lady has offended someone, and there is nothing we can do about it! As the future head of the family, Prince Peng Yang should practice his housekeeping skills first. If he can't even manage the family well, why do he want to be an official?
When Uncle Peng Yang and Shizi figured out what was going on, they almost died of anger! They both wanted to kill Zhou Rui!
