Chapter 182: Another Dowry
He was even more irritable in his heart, and said unhappily: "The eldest daughter of the dignified Weiguo Gong is married, and it is the emperor's marriage and marrying the prince, no matter how you prepare in a hurry, you don't have to call her 'mother' in the future, and she is not your biological mother in the first place." ”
"Father......" Xue Jinyi called softly.
Xue Zhao waved his hand, signaling that she didn't need to say anything more.
"Your biological mother is gone, and I, as a father, should take care of and love you." He got up and walked into the house, "What do you want as a dowry?" My Xue Zhao's daughter should marry more beautifully than any famous lady in the capital. ”
The current appearance of King Chu must not treat his daughter badly, and it can be regarded as some compensation for his concubine and her over the years.
Xue Jinyi pointed to the west wing, "The collection of books over there has benefited Jinyi a lot, so I want to take them to the Chu Palace." ”
The love of reading is the same as that of the concubine, Xue Zhao was happy in his heart, and nodded and said, "Yes." What else? ”
Xue Jinyi knows a lot about the Xue family's current industry, but it is not suitable to say directly to Xue Zhaoming, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has no official position, his income is limited, and there are a lot of expenses in Beijing. ”
"Oh?" Xue Zhao shook his head, "One of you is a prince, and the other is a young lady from the Weiguo Mansion, how can you do business." I'll ask people to make a list, you pick some shops and Zhuangzi, transfer them to your name, let the shopkeepers take care of them, and you just have to collect the money. ”
He stroked his beard.
Do the math, the king of Chu is also in his early twenties, but he hasn't been arranged by the emperor on an errand......
If it is really good, ask a few old friends to say a few kind words in front of the emperor, and let the king of Chu do a little bit of trivial work without causing the emperor's dissatisfaction, so that he will not be arranged to spread rumors that he is a waste prince.
The marriage can't be stopped, and now I can only try my best to make up for it.
"Thank you, father." Xue Jinyi saluted.
Xue Zhao held his daughter's arm, "Between you and me, father and daughter, there is no need for this." ”
Thinking of snubbing her because of disappointment over the years, and even wanting to kill her many times, the more he looked at Xue Jinyi, the more guilt and chagrin filled his heart.
"Jinyi still has something missing, just tell me, or tell the housekeeper." He trusts his daughter as much as he trusts his daughter.
Xue Jinyi said, "Yes, father." ”
Seeing that his daughter agreed, the guilt in Xue Zhao's heart was somewhat reduced, "At noon, I will have dinner with your grandmother, and you can come over too." ”
"Yes."
Xue Zhao looked at the dilapidated courtyard again, "Is this place dilapidated, or move to a better courtyard." ”
"Father, it's quiet here, and there are books to read, wait until the day before the wedding, Jinyi will move back to Taoming Courtyard." Xue Jinyi is not in a hurry to move back, anyway, there are only a few days left, so take the opportunity to make good use of Wei Guogong's guilt.
Seeing this, Xue Zhao sighed slightly and stopped demanding.
After sending Xue Zhao away, Mama Yao wiped her tears happily, "Grandpa Guo has finally spoiled Miss well, and Madame can rest assured in the spirit of heaven!" ”
Xue Jinyi looked at the courtyard gate and smiled bitterly.
It turned out that Wei Guogong was so affectionate to Yuan's wife, like a white moonlight that could not be tarnished.
Because of this, Sun Suci went crazy and tortured the original owner, making the original bishop's and the Yuan match very different, so that Wei Guogong was disappointed and when this daughter did not exist, she would do whatever she wanted?
However, Sun Suci now has such a status, and it seems that it is nothing in the heart of Wei Guogong.
No wonder it was easier than she thought she could have seized the opportunity.
Two moments later, Mother Yang personally sent a list, which listed in detail all the properties of the Weiguo Mansion, although Xue Jinyi selected, she would transfer the ownership of whichever one she liked, and there was no limit on the quantity.
Xue Jinyi looked carefully, when she walked in the East and West Market, she already had a plan in her heart, but she didn't find all the industries, so she couldn't take a good look now.
Mother Yang stood aside and said in a low voice: "Miss Jin, Grandpa Guo has handed over all the affairs in the mansion to the old lady to take charge of, so that the lady can recuperate with peace of mind." ”
"Have you already told Madame?" Xue Jinyi asked.
"Not yet."
Xue Jinyi smiled, and she didn't know if Wei Guogong cared about a little bit of husband and wife, or was afraid that Sun Suci would be angry and the funeral would affect the happy event.
She recalled the look on his face when she talked to Wei Guogong about Yuan's wife and Sun Suci respectively.
One is affectionate memories and guilt, and the other is disgust and disgust.
Sun Suci was able to be powerful and blessed in the Weiguo Mansion, relying on the identity of the Duchess of Weiguo, relying on the fact that the Weiguo Duke guarded the frontier all the year round, did not ask about family affairs, and facilitated her to encroach on the things and rights of the Xue family little by little, and she has today.
The silk grass that can be attached to the big tree is just strong on the outside and dry in the middle.
Without the big tree of Wei Guogong, Sun Suci is nothing.
From calculating the prince to the present, step by step has been quite smooth, but she still needs to be careful in the future, otherwise it is easy to be happy and sad in such an environment.
Xue Jinyi smiled and flipped through the list and found that the Xue family was involved in many industries.
That's easy, she circled a few places with a red pen.
Medicine shops, cloth shops, bookstores and rouge gouache shops, and two Zhuangzi near Lantian County have been circled.
"That's all."
Coupled with the wine shop of the King of Chu, it is enough at present.
What's more, you have to figure it out slowly, so that Wei Guogong can't think that Bai Yueguang's daughter is a greedy person.
It's a gain or a loss.
Because the original partner is the holy and beautiful Bai Yueguang in Wei Guogong's heart, she, as a daughter, can't be wrong in words and deeds, showing a little negativity and shortcomings.
However, for actors, what they are best at is acting.
Therefore, when Yang's mother asked, "Miss Jin doesn't choose some anymore", she shook her head and said: "I chose these because of my interest, and it is enough to live." ”
She believed that this word would reach Wei Guogong's ears.
Mother Yang didn't say much, "Yes, Miss Jin." ”
Then, Xue Jinyi went to Taoming Courtyard, and Wei Guogong's attitude towards his eldest daughter changed dramatically, making everyone extra respectful to her, which could only be seen in Xue Fangyi's body in the past.
Liang Dianzan was also a lot more polite to her, and didn't dare to make any more small moves.
Before lunch, Xue Jinyi cleaned up a little and came to Yunjia Courtyard.
The old lady asked the kitchen to prepare the meals that Wei Guogong and Xue Jinyi loved to eat, and when she came in, Wei Guogong had not yet arrived, and a well-mannered woman in her thirties was arranging the meal at the dining table.
Mama Yao reminded in a low voice, "She is the concubine of Grandpa Guo, surnamed Miao, and there is only a ten-year-old Miss Min under her knees." ”
Xue Jinyi knew early on that in addition to Sun Suci's wife, Wei Guogong had five or six concubines, and now there are only three in the mansion.
She nodded and smiled softly at Miao, "Aunt Miao is good." ”
Subsequently, she came to Mrs. Xue's side, this time she didn't see Xue Huai, and it was said that she was studying honestly.
"Grandmother, Jinyi asked her father for some Zhuangzi as a dowry, is it appropriate for grandmother to see it?"
Old Madam Xue sighed: "That Huazhaolou is also our Xue family, if it is included in your pocket, the annual profit is enough for you to live a rich life, take this opportunity to ask your father directly for it, isn't it?" ”
