In front of the eunuch in charge of the warehouse, the nanny said nothing.
All the way back to the West Cross Courtyard, there was no one else around.
The nanny choked in a low voice and said: "Gege... Those furniture are all refurbished. They are the master's dowry and re-oiled... The coral and white jade in the jewelry are also old items... There are many new gold jewelry, but there are not many sets of solid ones.
They are either hollow or filigree, they are light and look good... There are also clothes materials, only silk yarn, cloud satin, and silk brocade, valuable Shu brocade, gold brocade, soft Luoyan, pomegranate damask, not a single piece... a few
The box of large fur clothes is only made of mink skin. The mink skin was given by the palace during the first wedding ceremony. It should have been made and brought back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is no other one. There is only a box of small-haired clothes made of ermine skin.
, the rest are all chinchilla skins... Isn't this bullying? It's the chinchilla skins that Princess wears at home every day..."
"It's really old, right?"
Guo Luoluoge really couldn't believe that his uncle and aunt, who had always regarded him as his biological daughter, would fool him about the dowry.
The nanny was originally a royal servant and a dowry from Guo Luoluo's biological mother. Naturally, she had seen these old things and sobbed: "I'm not mistaken anymore. The huanghuali with water is engraved with longevity grass... It just suits the master's taste."
The name was prepared by the old master long ago..."
Guo Luoluogege had always been arrogant and could not bear this grievance. He immediately went to the study room in the front yard to find the head of the family, Prince Anjun Marhun.
"Uncle, what happened to my dowry? Why did it replace the furniture made by Jiangnan craftsmen with my Enie's old things?"
Guo Luoluo stared and asked aggrievedly.
Malhun had only sons and no daughters. In his early years, he loved Guo Luoluo's niece because the old prince saw it. As time went by, he got used to doting on her, and he developed a sincere love for her.
With the eighth prince as the prince's son-in-law, Malhun had already prepared a decent dowry for his niece, which was no worse than that of Da Fujin and the Crown Princess. But who knew that Tai Fujin would be exchanged for it?
He kept it secret until after the wedding ceremony, when he asked someone to open the warehouse to draw up the dowry list.
Clothes and jewelry could be repaired privately, but there was really no time to purchase additional furniture and furnishings, so I had to appropriate my sister's dowry.
"Your aunt was confused and confused your dowry with your aunt's... There was no time to rearrange the furniture and furnishings, but now this set of family heirlooms is decent. Don't worry, my uncle is reluctant to make you feel wronged. In addition to the two rooms he prepared before,
The house, two shops, a village, and ten hectares of land have been commissioned to purchase additional properties. By then, the property will be doubled and the money will be abundant, which is more decent than buying these dead objects..."
Only then did Guo Luoluoge burst into laughter.
She is not a fool, so she naturally knows who in this house really loves her. Her aunt may only be superficial, but her uncle's love is not fake.
You know, the majority of the dowry is the property.
Among the several princes and princes who are already married, apart from Da Fujin and the Crown Princess, who have more than a dozen properties from their marriage, the others only have six or seven properties. Doubling the property from their marriage is nothing compared to Da Fujin and the Crown Princess, and even more.
Don't talk about that Dong E family.

In Dutong Mansion, Mrs. Jueluo and her uncle's sister-in-law got together and were also drafting a dowry list.
Shu Shu was nearby, but she frowned when she heard it. Is it too much?
If the ten hectares of land in Tongzhou were not replaced, how could there still be Zhuangzi?
The small village in Haidian has 450 acres, which is the dowry of Mrs. Bo.
There are four shops, two for Jueluo's private property, one for Mrs. Bo's dowry, and one for Shu Shu's new silver building.
There are four sets in the house, three with three entrances and one with two entrances. One of the three entrances was given by my uncle, one was given by my uncle from Gongfutang, the remaining three are from Fuzhong Gongzhong, and the two are from Gongzhong.
The one that came in was a gift from the elders of the second room, which was the Dong E clan of Prince Yu’s mother-in-law.
So much for real estate!
Even if she wanted financial freedom, Shu Shu didn't want to shamelessly raid her parents' family.
You must know that your cousin will get married soon, and her five brothers will also get married in a few years. When the time comes, they will need money to make up for their errands, so how can she have the nerve to take the lion's share?
The Dong E family has been passed down for a long time, but this is not the same family as the patriarch, and the inherited ancestral property is limited. In addition, my grandfather always served as a bodyguard and did not go out to find vacancies, so it can be said that he is sitting on nothing.
That is to say, Mrs. Bo's dowry was generous and Luo's management was sound, so the two houses' finances were not in embarrassment.
Shu Shu earnestly advised: "Ah Mou, E Ni, don't use so much... How can I have the nerve to see my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law after we have emptied the house... Wouldn't that make me the most annoying sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Bo snorted softly: "My aunt, are you a heretic? You can accept Eni's things, but you can't accept Amou's?"
"You are not a heretic. Didn't you already get several boxes of jewelry? There are also several boxes of fur materials. If you take advantage of this, my cousin will suffer a loss. Don't feel bad, Ah Mu..."
Shu Shu hurriedly took Mrs. Bo's arm and acted coquettishly: "Let's secretly benefit from it, we don't have to put it all on the face..."
The eldest son has an only son, Xi Zhu, but he is a concubine. In the past two years, the uncle made the decision to marry his wife's niece, Shuncheng, who was a concubine in the palace.
Da Gege is 16 this year, and their wedding date has been set for a long time, and they will get married this month.
Mrs. Bo patted Shu Shu on the arm: "That's a niece over there, but you're not a niece? Little white-eyed wolf, I've been carrying you for a few years in vain... The dowry is your face. You don't need to be shy at this time, you should show off when it's time."
Zhang Yang, otherwise you will be looked down upon, and you will be angry in vain..."
The two mothers talked and laughed, and finally decided on what the two elders wanted.
Shu Shu really didn't dare to say anything else, otherwise she would make Mrs. Bo sad, so she hugged Mrs. Bo's arm and whispered: "When the ninth elder brother opens the house in the future, and Amu is feeling depressed at home, we will go to Haidian Zhuangzi
Waiting for you..."
Shu Shu has decided that when the tea business starts, she will spend money to build a separate courtyard in the village given to her by Madam Bo.
The uncle's health is weak, which is not a sign of longevity. Now he is also a man who is looking forward to the fifth year of life. The person who will be in charge of the family will be the concubine. Even if the concubine's daughter-in-law serving next to the uncle in the future is a niece, it may not go as planned.
Mrs. Bo couldn't help laughing and patted Shu Shu's hand: "I'll pretend to be honest for two years. When I give birth to my little brother, little princess, I will be a daughter-in-law, a wife, and a mother who can't find fault with anyone else. Then I'll think about it again."
Relaxed and happy days..."
Give birth?
Shu Shu couldn't help but think about it. She was close to Chun Tai by blood, but was she far away from Brother Jiu?
After returning to his yard, Shu Shu picked up a pen and paper and calculated the overlapping bloodlines of himself, Chun Tai, and Jiu Age.
Starting from Shu Shu's great-grandfather He Shuotu, he was the eldest daughter of Taizu, a quarter of Taizu's blood.
Heshuitu married Daishan's daughter (granddaughter of Taizu) and gave birth to a grandfather who was one-quarter of Taizu's blood.
My grandfather married the granddaughter of Daishan (the great-granddaughter of Taizu) and gave birth to a father who has three-sixteenths of Taizu's bloodline.
My father married the great-granddaughter of Taizu's nephew Amin and gave birth to himself. What is his Taizu bloodline?
Four-thirty-two, one-eighth!
Cousin Chun Tai is the great-great-grandson of Taizu. On his father's side, he inherits one-sixteenth of Taizu's blood. His mother Dong E Fujin, like Shu Shu's father, also has three-sixteenths of Taizu's blood. Chun Tai is the third
Five-twelfths.
Judging from Dong E's family, Chun Tai's maternal grandfather is Shu Shu's grandfather, and both of them have a quarter of the same blood.
Adding up the bloodlines of the two surnames, the overlap between the two is three-eighths, which is not much less than the overlap between half-brothers or half-brothers.
The ninth elder brother is also the great-great-grandson of Taizu, one-sixteenth of Taizu’s bloodline.
Compared with Shu Shu's one-eighth, the overlap between the two is one-sixteenth.
What modern society prohibits are collateral and direct blood relatives within three generations, which means a quarter of the blood overlaps.
One sixteenth, the blood relationship should not be considered close!
The law doesn’t stop it!
As for the tea business, Shu Shu picked up the plan next to her with a look of frustration on her face.
She had already made a plan, but when she discussed this with two elders, both of them refused without hesitation.
Mrs. Bo lectured: "As long as you have enough money, it's just right for the family to be like this...anything more will irritate you, but it will be a disaster...You have always been generous, why are you so arrogant now? Just a dowry is enough to provide you with food and clothing. Prince Fujin's status,
It's your confidence to support your mother's family, but if you can't use it to make money, then the gain outweighs the loss..."
Jue Luo is not opposed to this business, but he also thinks that it is not appropriate for his family to get involved: "Even if you are a relative, you are afraid that it will involve the economy... From now on, you have to plan your own life, husband, children, and parents-in-law, instead of worrying about it all the time.
On the other side of the family...Who knows if Concubine Yi will remember the previous lawsuit with Guo Luoluo's family? Keep this in your hands. If Concubine Yi treats you well later, you can use it to form a partnership with Wufujin... If so
Concubine Yi treats you like a normal person, so you can keep Shi Fujin to partner with Shi Fujin in the future. We don’t have to be friends with everyone, but there must always be one or two close friends..."
Shu Shu had no choice but to make up her mind to wait until her younger brothers got married to supplement the money.
As for my cousin, the wedding is just around the corner. As an unmarried person, I can't afford to give him lavish gifts. I just have to prepare them for his children when they are born.

In a blink of an eye, it was April 30th, Shu Shu's cousin Xizhu got married, and the uncle's house held a grand banquet to entertain guests, relatives and friends.
The uncle's mansion is on the east side of Dutong mansion, and the two mansions are adjacent to each other.
However, compared with the prosperous population of Dutong Mansion, the same two-span and five-entry mansion here has only three masters, making it much deserted.
The wedding tent was set up the day before yesterday. Today is the official day, and the main banquet will be set at the end of the day.
According to ancient rituals, the wedding should have been held at night, but due to the curfew, the wedding from the previous dynasty was changed to daytime.
The bride's dowry was delivered yesterday and laid out in the new house. Now the bride's mother is watching over the house.
There are actually two types of eldest daughter. One is the eldest daughter who has a title and salary. She is the legitimate daughter and concubine of a clan with a title of Duke or above. She is titled according to her father's rank. The dowry is also purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The rest is
The clan daughters are all non-titled clan daughters and they must provide their own dowries.
Although the bride is from the prince's palace, she is a concubine, so she has not been ennobled. However, she is the eldest daughter of the prince, and the dowry prepared by the prince is quite generous.
Shu Shu also had an idea of what a luxurious marriage is.
Ninety-six dowries, except for the first Ruyi, which is symbolic, are divided into several categories, such as real estate, land, and shops. There are not as many real estates as Shushu, there are six or seven, and the income is enough to make a private house.
Generous.
Furniture ranging from large wardrobes, Eight Immortals tables, desks, boxes to as small as boxes and tumblers covers all the furniture in the living room and bedroom.
Then there are the furnishings, which range from expensive antique ornaments to ordinary fruit plates and tea cans.
There are also cosmetics and daily necessities, toiletries, cosmetics, bedding, and various door curtains.
Then there are clothes for all seasons, shoes and socks, other clothing, and the rest is gold and silver jewelry.
There is also a population: four women and two people per household.
Naturally, relatives and friends of the Dong'e clan came to help early in the morning, and before the sedan chair team was about to set off, the guests also arrived one after another.
Shu Shu, the sister-in-law, stayed at the uncle's house last night. She has a special courtyard here. She also has the task of entertaining guests today. She is responsible for entertaining the rich ladies among the guests, but unexpectedly an uninvited guest came...
