Concubine's plan

All the dowries filled the yard, and all the boxes and cages were opened. There were several sets of clothes for each season, as well as animal skins that were not made into clothes, and various daily necessities, including small hand soaps and large pieces of furniture.

"Does a woman need to prepare so much dowry when she gets married?"Xun Yingju looked surprised. She really didn't expect that a woman would have to prepare so much for getting married.

After hearing this, Qin Shuyan sighed in her heart. After all, a girl from a small place has limited knowledge. The dowry is the foundation for a woman to survive in her husband's family after she gets married. The more the dowry, the more. If there are more, the more confident she is in her husband's family, which means that even if the woman gets married, she will use the dowry prepared by her mother's family, and her husband's family will have nothing to say.

"These are the rules for people in the capital to marry their daughters. When you get married, you will naturally need them."Qin Shuyan teased Xun Yingju and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xun Yingju's face rarely turned red, but in her eyes, whether in her mother's family or her husband's family, a woman must master a skill that can support herself, no matter how much the dowry is. It is limited. With survival skills, you will not have to worry about food and clothing no matter what time, and your husband’s family will not look down on you.

"She was just a business girl who could earn a few dollars if she was good at business. The Xun family was not a wealthy family, so naturally they couldn't prepare such a large dowry."Lu Dong'er just changed the topic due to everyone's comments. Now he finally had the opportunity to ridicule Xun Yingju, so he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.

Hearing this, Qin Shuyan and Xun Yingju both frowned. They didn't expect this big girl from Lu She didn't know how to advance or retreat, and was so provocative when attending other people's wedding banquets. I don't know how Wei taught her, but thinking about Wei's character, she probably wouldn't be able to teach any good children.

Of course, even if Wei He has bad conduct, and no one is willing to help him teach his children. Especially Lu Donger, his daughter, has been raised crookedly for a long time, and she is afraid that she will not be able to raise her upright.

"Huh, my girl's dowry has been prepared for a long time. I don't know how much pearls, corals and ivory have been prepared from overseas. I don't know how much the mainland girl has prepared?"Yusheng couldn't bear to understand that this young lady from Lu looked down on his own girl so much, so he immediately defended himself. As soon as these words came out, all the girls present were stunned. No one thought that a little girl doing business could buy such a big deal. There are many items imported from overseas. The girls present are all well-known people, and their families have the means to buy these luxury items from Shibaosi, but the prices prohibit most wealthy people.

Although these people are born in a wealthy family, their family's money is not enough. It doesn't mean that you can take it out, let alone think about precious objects such as coral and ivory.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xun Yingju in a strange way, with various looks of envy in the strangeness. It was not until this moment that everyone looked at Xun Yingju. She envied Xun Yingju that she could earn so much money on her own. She could buy whatever she wanted in the dowry by herself. She didn’t have to rely on the looks of her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to buy a decent dowry.

At this time, Xun Yingju didn’t know what everyone present was thinking. , but he was angry that Yu Sheng was quick to speak and said such words without her consent, which might cause unnecessary trouble. He immediately reprimanded her with a stern expression and said:"Yu Sheng, go back to Aunt Gui and get ten boards."

"girl?"Yusheng looked in disbelief. Is she doing this all to protect the girl? Why should she be punished?

"The little girl is the quickest. Although she has good intentions, she leaks the family affairs to outsiders and deserves punishment."Qin Shuyan explained to Xun Yingju without leaving any trace, and finally changed the subject and said:"Let's continue to look at the sister-in-law's dowry. Someone in her family is also in business, and maybe she can see some good things."

After listening to Miss Qin's words, Yusheng finally understood that he had caused trouble, and there might be more troubles in the future. He felt full of guilt, and felt that the girl's ten slaps on her were all light. Thinking in his heart, he was humble. He stood aside and didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing the little sister like this, Yun Duan was worried that the sister would not be able to think about it, so he quickly pulled her aside to comfort her. Lu Dong'er stood there awkwardly, because no girl wanted to talk to her because of what she just said. Talk more and look at her like a steel thorn. Every time he looks at her, it seems to be piercing her body. He thought to himself:"Xun Yingju brought these to her. It's all because of Xun Yingju." Girls would treat her like this. She must take revenge on Xun Yingju. She must not let her have a good life."

"Miss Lu, why are you here? Come on, let’s go over there and have a look."Just when Lu Dong'er was in a daze, Qin Shuruo came over with the girl to say hello to her.

"Nothing to do, I'm here to take a look at the bride's dowry."Lu Dong'er smiled.

The scene became harmonious again for a while. Soon the newlyweds outside finished their ceremony and the servants sent the bride over. A group of girls did not dare to stay in the yard anymore and hurriedly found a place to hide.

Xun Yingju was also the first The first time she encountered the steps of sending a newlywed into the bridal chamber, if in her previous life she would have squeezed into the bridal chamber and made a fuss, but now in ancient times, only married wives and mothers-in-law could enter the bridal chamber, so Xun Yingju would naturally not show up. Doing these things.

Looking at the bride and the girl in festive clothes supporting the bride wearing a hijab and bright red wedding clothes, with a tall and handsome man beside her, I think this is today The protagonist.

Thinking to herself, Xun Yingju did not continue watching, but sneaked out of the yard with Qin Shuyan and others. As soon as the group came out of the yard of the new house, they met an anxious woman. When they saw Qin Shu A smile immediately appeared on Yanhou's face and she hurriedly explained

"Oops, my girl Ai, why are you here? The banquet in the yard is about to start. Madam asked me to invite some girls to come over quickly. I'm afraid the banquet will be delayed if I'm late."The mother-in-law was sweating all over from running, and it took her a long time to understand what she said.

"You mother-in-law is so unruly. You are rude in front of so many girls. Please lead the way. We will go there right away."Qin Shuyan felt that the mother-in-law was too unruly, but today was a good day for the eldest brother, and it was not easy to punish the servants at will, so she had to hold back her anger and take the guests around to eat.

The girls did not feel that the mother-in-law was too rude. , they did not stay quietly before the banquet, but came to see the bride's dowry. If they want to accept the rudeness, they must be rude first, and they cannot blame the host. If others don't mind, Xun Yingju will naturally not jump out to stir up trouble. Instead, they followed the crowd obediently, listening to the chats of these big girls and the gossip of the capital city.

The group quickly returned to the open space by the lake. At this time, the ladies of each house had already sat down, and the servants had already started. Setting out the meal, it seemed like they really missed it.
