Xiao Shitou touched his forehead which had been shot red, what he said just now was really inappropriate. Who is the second sister, but the powerful person in their family can still make herself wronged? He smiled at Xiaocao, and continued: "The dividends you have distributed to us over the years, we have also bought land and houses in Jingzhong or Jinweifu City, and we are quite wealthy! Those dividends, you also Take it back. lest people say that we took advantage of King Xu."

Xiao Shitou was the most upset that outsiders said that their Yu family had been promoted, and it was obviously Xu Wang who was pestering the second sister, as if they were in a hurry to kiss that guy!

Yu Xiaocao knocked on the younger brother's forehead, pretending to be angry and said: "My sister is not married yet, so you have a birth with me? These properties are mine, and whoever I love will give it to whom, what do others say? It’s not easy for you to collect the property on the surface, so these Zhuangzi, Wangpu, and houses, which outsiders don’t know, can be kept, right?”

He has been in Beijing for nearly five years, and he has kept so many profitable transactions every day, but the spare money in Xiaocao's hands is not piled up like mountains of gold and silver as outsiders imagined. Influenced by certain investment ideas in her previous life, after she got the money, she replaced it with Zhuangzi, shops and houses.

Whether it is an official or a private dentist in the capital, they all know the little hobbies of Princess Jin'an, and they will find them as soon as they find a suitable one. Therefore, under Xiaocao's hands, there are more than a dozen villages in the suburbs of Beijing, large and small. Except for the ones used by the family, there are fifteen rent-collecting shops in the west and east of the city, and there are houses with better terrain. There are seven seats. Look at the land deeds and house deeds on the table, there is a thick stack, which makes people greedy.

When she bought these Zhuangzi, shops and houses, she bought them all in the name of Yu Hai, the head of the Yu family, and Yu Hai's name was also signed on the contracts. That is to say, before Yu Hai didn't know, the Yu family already had a considerable family business in Beijing.

Yu Hai sighed endlessly in his heart, the youngest daughter had already made plans for him, the head of the family. well! It's still useless for him to be a father, let the youngest daughter shoulder the responsibility of Xingsheng Yu's family!

"Well, your mother and I will take over these properties. Together with the shop in the port, you four brothers and sisters will share equally." Yu Hai took over the land deed, feeling heavy.

Hearing this, Xiao Lian exchanged glances with the man, and said, "Father, mother! These are all properties of the Yu family. I am a married daughter, so I won't join in. I will give my younger sister a dowry. Let the elder brother and the younger brother divide the rest after the younger brother gets married and starts a business! By the way, little sister, you have to choose a capable steward to take over the pharmaceutical workshop in Dongshan Village. When you get married, my natal sister, It’s not good to meddle in your business anymore.”

Seeing that Xiaocao still wanted to say something, she quickly continued: "Now, the seafood business at home is getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Mo can't handle it alone, there must be one person who stays in the capital to watch, and the other is in the ancient capital of Tang Dynasty. Running back and forth, I really can't tell the experience to control the pharmacy... You must never say that you will send the pharmacy to us. In the whole of Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know that Yuji Pharmaceutical was written by the master of Jin'an County. If the master is changed, will people recognize it? ?”

In the end, none of the items on the dowry list were reduced, and even continued to increase. When Zhao Auntie was invited to discuss the dowry matters, she couldn't help being speechless when she saw the dowry list.

Except for Zhenxiu Restaurant, almost all the hot industries in Beijing are on the top. Pharmacy workshop, brewery, scented tea and herbal tea workshop, preserved fruit canning factory, large cold storage room in Beijing suburban orchard, pastry shop, Hua Xiangrong, medicinal food workshop... plus Zhiyuzhai, vegetable and fruit chain sent as a betrothal gift...almost half All transactions in the capital are covered. The Yu family was really willing to accompany their daughter with them, almost none of the property in Beijing was left behind!

This kind of dowry is estimated to be the first in the entire capital, and even in the entire Ming Dynasty. Ten miles of red makeup is not enough to describe its preciousness. Zhao Auntie couldn't help complaining to Mrs. Fang: What a blessing this King Xu is, to be able to marry their family's golden baby. Even if you get married and go out, you don't have to worry about the little days in the future. No, they are always worried about how to spend so much money!

Busy days always pass quickly, and the Spring Festival is here in a blink of an eye. Xiaocao's last Spring Festival at Yu's house was lively and lively. Zhuang Xiaomo is an orphan, and there are no relatives in the family. The first New Year's Eve of marriage was spent at the old man's house.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Hang helped his daughter-in-law serve a cup of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. This medicinal meal nourishes blood and nourishes Qi, and it tastes so good that Huifang fell in love with it after tasting it once. Today, after taking the first sip of delicious soup, she couldn't help frowning, and a nauseating feeling hit her, making her retch a few times.

"What's the matter? What's wrong?" The daughter-in-law has always had a good appetite, and the food is delicious. Seeing her like this, Yu Hang couldn't help but asked with concern.

Liu Shi also looked over worriedly, and saw that her face was a little strange, she rubbed her chest with a distressed expression, and said softly: "Are you too busy recently, tired?"

"Sister-in-law, let me, a little genius doctor, take your pulse for you!" Yu Xiaocao leaned over, took her right hand, placed three fingers on her pulse, and examined her pulse intently.

"How is it? Is there something wrong?" Yu Hang asked anxiously with great concern.

"The pulse condition is fluent, which should refer to smoothness, like beads rolling on a jade plate..." Yu Xiaocao was overjoyed, and made an unfathomable attitude, pulling at the words.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but patted her and scolded with a smile: "Speak human! Is your sister-in-law okay?"

"Why are you all right? Something big happened!! Human life is a big deal!!" Yu Xiaocao's expression was very serious, and his tone was so serious that Yu Hang's face turned pale with fright.

"Little sister, you are a little miraculous doctor respected by everyone in Beijing. Can your sister-in-law be cured?" Yu Hang held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes blushing.

Yu Xiaocao saw that her joke was getting bigger, she quickly opened her mouth and showed a big smile, and said: "I really can't cure my sister-in-law's symptoms. Only after eight months, when the fruit is ripe and my little nephew is born, can I treat it." get well!"

Everyone at the table was taken aback when they heard the words, and after a few seconds of silence, Xiaocao was hit again. Mrs. Liu laughed and scolded her happily: "You bad girl, what are you talking about about life and death, do you want to scare us to death? Your sister-in-law is pregnant, just say she is pregnant, you have to do something like this to scare people!"

Mr. Yu, who was sitting at the top, also came to his senses, grinned his mouth with a few missing teeth, and said with a smile: "Good thing, our family will soon have four generations living under one roof! I never thought that I, Yu Liqiu, would live long enough to see you." Great-grandson's day."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about on a happy day! You have such a good body, you will live a long life. Don't say four generations live together, you can see that even five generations live together!!" Yu Xiaocao happily Looking at the elder brother wandering around the elder sister-in-law with hehe, it is the tradition of the Yu family to love his wife, right? Uh... If grandpa hadn't indulged Zhang too much, he wouldn't have let her push her nose to the face and develop such a temper!

Speaking of Mrs. Zhang, Xiaocao naturally thought of her uncle, who is half blood related to her father, and couldn't help asking: "Shitou, I heard that my uncle also took the provincial exam with you. Did you pass the exam?"

"Since the incident happened, my uncle moved to Fucheng and studied hard. It took another two years to pass the exam. After the rural exam, I met him outside the exam room and asked him a few questions. , it is said that the exam was good. As for whether I passed the exam or not, I didn’t pay much attention. Why did you suddenly remember to ask him about it?” Xiao Shitou doesn’t have much affection for this uncle, and he has such a Mother, keep her at arm's length.

"It's nothing, just asking casually! After all, he is also grandpa's son..." The last time I went back to Fucheng, I saw my aunt and the others. I heard that Mrs. Zhang is very old. Reading is indeed not easy. Being a mother is strong, Mrs. Zhang is determined to make her son stand out, no matter how hard and tiring she is, as long as it is for her son, she is willing to do so, right

This year, because of the good news from Yu Hang's daughter-in-law, it was even more lively and fulfilling. Regardless of family members' obstruction, Xiaocao took out the canned fruit processing factory from the dowry, saying it was a gift for her little nephew. The little bean sprouts still in the mother's womb did not know that the little aunt had given him a big gift, and they were absorbing nutrients in the mother's body peacefully and quickly growing up!

Everyone said that this little guy must be very good. Except for New Year's Eve, when he brushed his presence, he didn't seem to exist at other times. Liu Huifang didn't feel the pregnancy reaction that a pregnant woman should have. Sometimes she even forgot that she was a pregnant woman, and hurriedly followed her mother-in-law together, preparing for her brother-in-law's exam and her sister-in-law's marriage.

The family asked her to rest more, but she didn't care about it and said: "How can you be so delicate? There are many daughters-in-law in our village who are about to give birth, and they are still doing farm work with their big bellies!"

Mrs. Liu also heard from the older generation that pregnant women are more active, and it is easier to give birth in the future. Seeing that the daughter-in-law has been busy for a few days, there is nothing unusual, so let her go. However, from time to time, she reminded Huifang not to be too tired, but to rest.

When the first month came out and an auspicious day was chosen, Prince Jing's Mansion sent the Letter of Appointment and Letter of Ceremony to Yu Mansion. With more than a month to go until March 18, Zhu Junyang began to urge his family to help him with the big gift.

Prince Jing's Mansion selected four blessed people, namely, Princess Duan, Mrs. Rong Guogong, Mrs. Dingyuanhou and Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. The so-called "Full Blessing" refers to a woman whose parents are alive and well, and who have both children, husband and wife, and brothers and sisters who are harmonious.

These four noble people of Quanfu, together with the matchmaker—Prince Jing's father, His Excellency the Supreme Emperor, brought the dowry money, gift money and dowry gifts to Yu's mansion. The list of betrothal gifts given by Xu Wang made these four wives with high vision and high status couldn't help but be speechless.
