Cao family, Dongfu.

Looking at the magnificent dowry box in the courtyard on the west side, even after seeing the eldest daughter-in-law some time ago, Zhao Jia's eyes couldn't help but widen.

If the previous eldest daughter-in-law's dowry made Zhao Jia's surprise and joy, seeing that his niece carried more than a dozen adobes on the dowry and two new tiles on the other, Zhao Jia's smile froze.

More than a dozen lands and two properties, if they are replaced by other people's girls to marry, Zhao Jia's family is afraid that they will be overjoyed. However, the other party is her brother's family, and she has always known the roots, so she is a little unbearable.

When her sister-in-law got married, she only married one property, and the other properties and land should be post-purchased, or the family's property.

Although her brother has been a foreign official for more than ten years, he is a bit square and is not a person who can make money. When I returned to the capital two years ago, I spent a lot of money on personal exchanges.

I don't know if Jinghui's one hundred and twenty-eight dowry can make the Fucha family poor, but this one hundred and twenty-eight dowry of Ruhui can dig out the old bottom of the Shilang Mansion.

Chu Yu and Jing Hui stood behind Li and also came over to see the dowry.

Jing Hui looked at the dowry all over the yard, just smiled quietly, and didn't think much about it. How old is Chu Yu, looking at the adobe, he counted in his heart, ten pieces, ten hectares of land, just two hectares more than Jinghui's dowry.

After all, the two of them entered the door for a few days, and they didn't want to be compared by the Fucha family when they looked at the Shilang Mansion.

If the heart of this comparison is not extinguished, and in the future, when you look up and don't see what you look down, Chu Yu can't help but be a little worried. She turned her head and glanced at Jinghui, feeling that she was worried again.

Jinghui is a quiet surname, and she is from a big family, so she can't find any mistakes in her actions.

Even Zhao Jia, who watched coldly and wanted to give his eldest daughter-in-law a dismissal, couldn't find the opportunity to attack her.

Even if Ruhui enters the door and has a bad temper, Jinghui will not confront Mai Mang.

The yamen has been sealed, Cao Yin and Cao Hao, father and son, are both in the mansion, and the male guests who come to Daoxi are in the mansion here.

Because Cao Song's marriage was just held a few days ago, this time except for the bride and groom, they are all repeated, but they are much more regular than before, not more chaotic than before.

What Cao Hao does every day is to take a few brothers to pick up and accompany guests. Cao Song's marriage leave is not yet full, and he will go on an errand after the year; Cao Xiang Guozijian also had a holiday, and school started after fifteen.

When Cao Song got married a few days ago, Cao Shuo was busy inside and out, and he made a lot of contributions.

Now it was his turn to marry his own daughter-in-law, but he was a little shy, embarrassed to talk too much, and just followed behind his brothers with a smile.

Sixteen years old, marrying a daughter-in-law at a young age, Cao Hao patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't say anything. I think that back then, when he married his daughter-in-law, he was only seventeen years old, not much older than Cao Shuo.

Compared with Cao Shuo's shyness, Cao Song, who smiled from ear to ear, was more like a groom.

Since marrying his daughter-in-law and entering the door, no matter what time he has been in front of people for the past ten days, Cao Song is full of uncontrollable smiles, and his face is not sour.

Cao Xiang studied in Guozijian for two months, not to mention being taller, but also a little more elegant. Standing beside his brothers, he looked dignified and looked no less impressive.

The male guests didn't pay attention to it, and the female guests of some relatives' families saw Cao Xiang and had to look twice.

When he is a teenager, his talent and character are outstanding, and it is inevitable that he will be interested in having a daughter at home. Just inquired, I knew that it was a concubine, and it was not obvious that it was good, only a sigh.

The dowry passed on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month was the son, and Cao Hao was busy for two days.

Although it is his younger brother who is married, he also opens his eyes and starts to be busy, and he rests at night. After all, most of the guests who came to congratulate came to the door to watch the relationship between Cao Yin's father and son.

On the evening of the twenty-sixth, the last few tables of guests were sent away, and Cao Hao also felt too tired.

This holiday is more tiring than when it was an errand. Dealing with relatives and friends, it is really "talking about people when you see people, and talking about ghosts when you see ghosts", and you can't miss it at all, otherwise you will make people laugh.

After coming out of his parents' room and returning to Wutong Garden, Cao Hao was directly crooked on the kang and didn't want to move.

When Chu Yu saw it, he was very distressed, threw a wet towel, waited for him to wipe his face, and said: "These two days look at the forehead is tired, and Ming'er will rest for a day." ”

Cao Hao waved his hand and said, "I can't rest, Ming'er still has to go to Wanyan's house, I heard that the old uncle is not very convenient now." and King Jian's mansion, I also have to go there in person. ”

In this big year, if you come to the door, it is naturally not good to be empty-handed.

Chu Yu sat on the side of the kang, thought for a while, and said, "E, over there, Uncle Wanyan, there are new old ginseng at home, can I send a few plants over as a gift?" On the side of King Jian's mansion, they are all prepared according to the rules of previous years, and the forehead has to go over in person, so it will be thickened by two percent? ”

Cao Hao stretched his waist and said to Chu Yu: "What land did you receive from the land deed over there in Xiaotangshan?" Find it out and take a look. ”

Chu Yu listened, couldn't remember for a while, and looked back at Xiyun.

Xiyun said: "The title deed is all in one place, and it is stored in a box inside the kang box. ”

The pair of boxes on the kang were locked, Chu Yu listened, got up and went into the inner room, and took the key. She opened the box herself and took out a pear blossom wooden box.

The box is also covered with brass locks, and when it is opened, it is thick inside, full of house deeds, land deeds and so on.

Chu Yu looked through it, found half a dozen land deeds, and sent them to Cao Hao.

Because it was a barren mountain, when I bought it, I bought it for one tael of silver or two taels of silver per acre, and in some places, I even used only five taels of silver, and one hectare of land was only fifty taels.

Now, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is building a palace there, and in the past five or six years, the land price has increased nearly tenfold. The boundary of the spring is even more priceless.

The hot spring land that the Cao family bought back then, over the years, has been sold and exchanged, and there are also gifts, and most of them have been sold, scattered and scattered, and there are still a few Zhuangzi that are not next to each other.

The Cao family looked at the remaining land deeds, picked out a dozen acres of land, and picked a land deed next to the Seventeen Elder Brothers' Courtyard.

He handed the remaining few back to Chu Yu and put them away, and said, "These two sheets, I will take them as gifts tomorrow." ”

It's good to say that the Wanyan family has the friendship of Yongqing and Yongsheng, and the old uncle Wanjiha is not in good health, so it is reasonable to say that he needs to recuperate; On the side of King Jian's Mansion, the two mansions are just mediocre, not to mention that they can't go to the Pingchun Palace, even if they are lower than the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.

This time, I gave a Zhuangzi as a New Year's gift, but it was a bit heavy.

Chu Yu remembered that she heard her father-in-law and mother-in-law say yesterday that the will of Seshtu had come down, and suddenly realized, and said, "E, are you worried about the third aunt's side, and you want to ask Uncle Jian to take care of it?" ”

"It's not just this, yesterday King Jian's Mansion gave a New Year's gift, and there was a front door shop. Cao Fang asked the envoy, the shop over there is large, the land boundary is good, and the market price is worth six or seven thousand taels. There are only people who receive gifts in this palace, how can there ever be a time to give gifts generously? The return gift from our side is naturally not too light. Because of the mess, the things are still in the front yard account room, and Ming'er asked someone to send them to you. Cao Hao said a little dry, stood up, went to the table and poured a cup of warm tea to drink.

When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, this etiquette was too heavy.

The prince's annual salary is only 10,000 taels of silver, and this time the gift is half of the annual gift. Even if you pay homage to the palace, you didn't send such a heavy one.

Cao Hao looked at the clock, the hour was not early, washed his feet, and after relieving his fatigue, the husband and wife went to the back room to settle down.

Lying on the kang, talking about Ming'er's gift, Chu Yu was still a little confused. Cao Hao hesitated for a moment and told Chu Yu what happened in the shop a few days ago.

When she heard that someone had poisoned Daoxiang Village, she was so frightened that her eyes widened; Hearing that the Han Jiang clan had taken effective precautions and resolved the crisis, Chu Yu's face also showed a little admiration.

The cause and effect before and after this is understood, and the intention of King Jian's mansion to send the shop is obvious. Regardless of whether it has anything to do with them or not, after all, the people involved in their shop, they don't want to have a bad relationship with the Cao family, so they gave the shop away, which can be regarded as making up for the suspicion.

Prince Jane Yaerjiang Ake is not a generous person, and he used to have a dispute with the prince, and the two fought for many years.

This heavy gift is really hot, and if you refuse, it seems to be a shame to face, and it seems to be too big to accept it.

Chu Yu sighed and said, "It's still thoughtful, speaking of which, our gift is worth more than the shop, and how to talk about it in the future, we can't find anything wrong here." ”

The shopkeeper of King Jian's Mansion ran away, and Cao Hao also heard about it.

King Jian's Mansion also has dealings with the Cao family, and they are quite friendly, so there is no need to do such a thing; Besides, if there is really any inadvertent grudge, with the status of Yarjiang'a, even the prince is not in his eyes, how can he deign to show favor to Cao Hao?

If other buyers and sellers are involved, it may also involve peer competition and want to smash the signboard of Daoxiang Village. But it's arsenic, and it's the people who use King Jian's Mansion without seeing the end of the dragon, what is the other party trying to do?

With the sales of Daoxiang Village and the sharp increase in customers at the end of the year, if the other party really sells the arsenic-mixed dim sum as the other party wishes, it will not be a matter of one or two households, and I don't know how many people will die.

Under the New Year, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if such a big case occurs, how much thunder will it cause.

Even if Cao Yin's father and son are in the Sacred Heart, Cao Yin will inevitably fall into the charge of lax governance, and Cao Hao's side is the lightest. Even Chu Yu must have a palace concubine to pass into the palace and teach the rules.

Even if you can't hurt your muscles and bones, it's a slap in the face.

When the husband and wife said this, they glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little solemn.

Who the hell is it?

Interpersonal contacts, there are close, there are farther away, and there are people who accidentally take on grudges, but the black hand hidden in the dark and waiting for the opportunity to move is uncomfortable.

Seeing that Chu Yu didn't smile, Cao Hao regretted it a little, and said: "Look at what I'm doing with you nagging about this, let you worry about it, don't worry, there's me outside." ”

Chu Yu listened to it and said busily: "It's good to say it, two people have more ideas than one person." Otherwise, I'm confused about everything, and I can't do it well if I want to do the help of the forehead. Forehead, if there is anything in the future, tell me. In the end, there was already a hint of pleading.

Seeing her so eager, Cao Hao's heart softened, and he nodded, "um", ...... * East Mansion, the main room of the inner courtyard.

Zhao Jia's had insomnia again, and when the second daughter-in-law entered the door, she was mostly worried, and she should have been happy. However, she frowned, her chest was blocked, and she only felt breathless.

Although she didn't go to the account room, she also heard the steward here mention that the people who followed the salute didn't say anything, the key was ...... The key is also a shop sent by King Jian's mansion.

It's okay to say anything else, but this shop has been thinking about Zhaojia for a long time.

As early as when she was in Jiangning, she thought about building two shops to make some rouge money. But Cao Quan didn't care, she gave birth to children one after another, and she couldn't be empty, so she didn't care.

After arriving in the capital, she hesitated for a long time whether to buy a shop or a Zhuangzi. In the end, I still felt that Zhuangzi had a stable income, so I bought two Zhuangzi.

The business of Daoxiang Village is not popular now.

The ladies who ate during the day, as well as the chatter, said that the dumplings in Daoxiang Village are now expensive, and if you want to buy them, you have to queue up, and if you are late, it will be gone.

There are many people who eat dumplings in Beijing, so it is good to invite two masters from the south to set up a "Guixiang Village" and "Juxiang Village". In a few years, the dowry of the fourth sister and the fifth son can be saved.

When the daughter-in-law enters the door, it is a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight lifts, how can this girl go out?

Besides, now there is also the Guogong Mansion, and if you go to the courtesy in the future, you can't be shabby, and you always need to spend money.

Although the public middle school holds a happy event, it is who receives the gift, who follows, and who returns, but after all, it is a happy event in the second room. Not to mention the gold and silver, she's a concubine, cheeky, and wants a shop, it shouldn't be in the way......
