Shen Debao saw his daughter stomping her feet and crying, panicked in her heart, frowned and said: "The one surnamed Ding hasn't given our family a betrothal gift yet, and when he brings the betrothal gift, he can give it to us with the betrothal gift." You buy it, our family will not keep you a penny; in addition, the family has two taels of silver, keep one tael for your brother, let your mother take out the other tael, and keep it for you at the bottom of the box!"
Shen Ruomei didn't intend to keep the dowry gift from Lao Ding's family to her natal family at first, but she was thinking that besides taking away the dowry gift, she would ask her parents to buy something for her to support her. It also saves you from getting married and others looking down on you.
Now when she hears her father say that the dowry is only one tael of silver, her heart is so cold!
What is one tael of silver good for? Isn't that enough for her to reward the servants? She wanted to gain a foothold in Lao Ding's house, so how could she not win over a few confidants? How did the confidant win over? Isn't it just relying on silver? Without money, how could she buy people's hearts
"Father, mother, why don't you see if this is okay, you can borrow one for me..." She wanted to say, "Borrow a two or eight taels", but thinking that her father would definitely not agree, she changed her words and said, "Five or six Two, I will pay you back when I get it back, don’t worry, I will pay you back as appointed, and there will be no repudiation.”
Uncle Shen raised his eyelids, and said in a cool voice: "You just married to be a concubine, not to be a serious grandma and wife, who would see how many things you brought with you? Besides, Lao Ding's family must know Our family is a villager, so even if we didn’t bring anything over, we wouldn’t pick on us. Would it be strange if you brought over five or six taels of silver all of a sudden? No one would think that you just wanted to be an official. The family's concubine has dumped half of her natal family's wealth, making it look like we are so cheap that we have to pay others."
Shen Debao spoke very bluntly, it can be said that his words were sharp, and the effect was comparable to a slap in the face.
When Shen Ruomei heard that her father refused to buy her a dowry, he even mocked her, looked down on her, and was so wronged that she almost shed tears.
She bit her lip and said aggrievedly: "What's wrong with being a concubine? Being a concubine is better than marrying a poor man as a wife. Besides, who said that being a concubine means being a concubine for the rest of your life. Maybe I can help you!"
Shen Debao saw that his silly girl was still dreaming, and said with a sneer: "The laws of our state of Chu stipulate that a man who takes a concubine as his wife will be paid thirty miles and eight hundred miles away. Do you think that Ding can take that share for you?" Are you going to suffer?"
"Why not? He almost starved himself to death because of me? What is that suffering?" Shen Ruomei is very confident in Mr. Ding's love for her, and he is very confident about the hunger strike that Mr. Ding told her I have always believed in it.
Shen Debao saw that his daughter was so stupid that he couldn't be cured, and he didn't want to say anything more to her. Anyway, she wouldn't believe it or listen to it, so it would be better not to say anything.
He took a few mouthfuls of the cigarette pipe and said, "It would be better if you are so sure. If the surname Ding is as good to you as you say, he won't look down on you because you don't have a dowry, and he won't look down on you because of you." Let others bully you if you don't have money, maybe you have to give you some flowers, but if he is not sincere to you, then it is useless for you to bring a golden mountain there, and in the end it will fall into the hands of others to make others cheaper. So, that’s all for the dowry, you don’t need to think about anything else, your mother and I are both so old and have so much ability, so I don’t want to be a concubine for you, so I don’t want to borrow money to cause famine !"
Shen Ruomei saw that what his father said was categorical and there was no room for change, and looked at Aunt Shen with teary eyes.
Aunt Shen sighed helplessly and lowered her head.
It's not that she doesn't want to buy some good things for her daughter to show off, but she really has no money!
When Shen Ruomei saw that her parents couldn't point to her anymore, she covered her face and ran back to her room with sobs...
Everyone looked down on her, even her parents looked down on her, which made Shen Ruomei very sad, hum, what happened to the concubine's room, she wanted to prove to everyone that a well-run concubine's room is a thousand times better than an unfavored wife's wife!
Shen Ruolan originally planned to go back to Jizhou in the next two days. The hot pot restaurant at home must have been cleaned up by now, just waiting for her to give an order when she goes back, so that the business will be successful, and the words she engraved on "Tianxia Zhizhi" must be The engraving has already been finished, and when he goes back, his printing factory can be opened. There are so many things waiting for her, of course she is anxious.
However, due to the beginning of menstruation, she felt a little unwell and was not suitable for long-term driving, so she had to wait until the end of menstruation before leaving.
As a result, the amount of the first menstrual period was a bit excessive and a bit abnormal, and it was not clean until the fifth day.
I have been waiting for so many days, and in three days it will be Shen Ruomei's big wedding, no, it's the wedding day, Shen Ruolan has thought about it, and decided to wait a few more days, wait for Shen Ruomei to get married before leaving, it just so happens that she is still curious about Shen Ruomei What kind of family do you marry into
(Ahem, forgive Lan'er for her gossip, the main reason is that she really wants to see what kind of man is worthy of Shen Ruomei's disregard of shame and prostitution day in and day out...)
Soon, it came to the day when the uncle's house was prepared.
Because of Shen Ruomei's embarrassing criminal record, Shen Debao didn't make a fuss, so he only set up four banquets, inviting his immediate relatives over for a meal, it was a banquet to send the girl away.
That day, Shen Ruolan went there early on purpose. Ever since Shen Ruomei had an accident, Shen Ruolan hadn't been there once. First, she was afraid that Shen Ruomei would think she was here to watch the fun, and second, she was afraid that something embarrassing would happen to her. In his eyes, so he has been squinting, just wait until today to come over and take a good look!
However, even though she hasn't been here these days, Shen Ruolan knows all the movements of the uncle's house very well, because Li Qiaolian, the ear god, is there, so she can't even think about it!
First of all, when she heard that Lao Ding's family sent Oh Shen Ruomei a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, and two bolts of inferior satin to make her wedding dress, there was nothing else.
I remember last year when Fourth Mama Zhang was invited to come over as a matchmaker, Lao Ding’s family promised a dowry gift of twenty taels of silver, and it took only a few months to become ten taels. In my mind, it was only worth ten taels of silver, and any more would be worth the price of those two bolts of inferior satin!
Or, he also added the ten taels of divorce money that he gave to Zhang Eryong's family before, so it would be twenty taels of silver.
If this is the case, not only does this young master Ding not take Shen Ruomei seriously, but he is also a narrow-minded man who loves to care about every detail!
Shen Ruomei thought that she relied on this rich son, and from then on she would live a life of being popular and drinking hot food, wearing silk and satin every day, wearing gold and silver, ordering maids and women, and the scenery is infinite...
Unexpectedly, this gave her a blow in the head before she got married!
After learning that her betrothal gift was only so little, Shen Ruomei locked herself in the room for a whole day, and only went out the next day.
After going out, she didn't say anything, and started to use the ten taels of silver to buy herself a dowry.
She bought clothes for the four seasons, all silk bedding, made a new bedding, new pillows, made some hairpin jewelry, and bought some rouge and gouache.
Hmph, she just wants to live the life of a young mistress, even if she spends all her family money, she still wants to live it. In the end, she put all the things she bought into the four boxes that his father made for her as a dowry. They were so full that they looked like that.
After Shen Ruolan came, she saw that Shen Ruomei was wearing a bright red silk wedding gown, with a high bun on her head, red silk flowers and silver-plated skirts, and a normal-quality jade bracelet on her wrist. At that time, she looked like a lady.
Li Qiaolian secretly said to Shen Ruolan: "If you don't care about things, you just know how to dress yourself up. Whose girl doesn't buy something for her parents and brothers before she gets married, but she doesn't. I bought a lot of things for myself." The four big boxes on the board are for her parents, brother, sister-in-law and nephew, and she is not even willing to buy a needle, she is really a wolf-hearted thing, not as good as a pig or a dog!"
Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen had known for a long time that Shen Ruomei was spoiled by them, but they never expected that she would be so cold-blooded and selfish. Spend a penny on the old couple.
It's not that they were trying to thin out her little money and things, it's just that her way of doing things really hurt their old couple's heart!
When Shen Ruolan saw Shen Ruomei dressed up, she felt secretly amused.
Shen Ruomei, a concubine, even dared to wear red and put on her own thoughts. When Mr. Xiao Ding's official wife passed through the door, it would be strange if she didn't slap her with a big mouth!
When she was a concubine, she was not qualified to wear red, nor was she qualified to give birth before her main wife. Shen Ruomei's actions were all arrogance. I don't know if she deliberately provoked her main wife or she was really stupid. Anyway, what she does now will definitely pay for it in the future. cost!
Another point, Shen Ruolan felt very puzzled, didn't people in ancient times have to marry a regular wife before they could take a concubine? Why did Mr. Xiao Ding take a concubine first and then marry a wife? Don't the elders of Lao Ding's family care? Or is Lao Ding's family just a family that doesn't follow the old principles
When Shen Ruomei saw that it was Shen Ruolan, she went up to her to show off. Today, Shen Ruomei was wearing silk and satin, with a silver-plated hairpin on her hair, and a normal-colored jadeite hairpin on her wrist. Bracelets, this outfit, but Shen Ruolan's commoner clothes are much more expensive!
"Lanya, what do you think of my outfit today?" She proudly raised her chin, waiting for Shen Ruolan to praise herself.
Shen Ruolan lowered her voice and said with a nervous look: "I heard that concubines can't wear red, and they will be slapped by the wife. Cousin, you and your husband will go back later. When the time comes, remember to change it, seeing that the elders of Lao Ding’s family are not happy to see you wearing red, they think you are out of bounds.”
Shen Ruomei was poked at the sore spot, her pretty face flushed red, she wanted to get angry and scold this damn girl, but what this damn girl said was the truth, she couldn't even scold anyone if she wanted to.
She gritted her teeth, sneered a few times, and said, "What's the point? Even a concubine, as long as her husband pampers her, she can still live a more comfortable life than the main wife, not to mention enjoying a better life than those women who look for mud legs! "
Shen Ruolan nodded, and said in agreement: "Cousin, what you said is true, must my brother-in-law dote on you? Seeing that you are dressed in silk and satin, my brother-in-law must have given you a lot of betrothal gifts? I heard that men give women many betrothal gifts Prove how much this woman is worth in his heart? How much does he give you, and let us be happy too if you tell him?"
Shen Ruomei's face turned even redder, whether it was from anger or from embarrassment, she stood holding her handkerchief for a while before recovering her voice: "Little girl, everyone, what are you asking about, you just say what about your brother-in-law?" Is that all right?"
Shen Ruomei pointed to Young Master Ding who was toasting at another table, and showed off to Shen Ruolan. This was probably the only place where she could show off.
Because young master Ding is really good-looking, with peach blossom eyes, a hooked nose, a tall man, and a fair skin. Unfortunately, this face is exactly the lecherous face in divination studies. Marrying such a person, I am afraid that I will not be able to save it in my life. heart!
After reading it, Shen Ruolan withdrew her gaze, and said with a smirk: "Brother-in-law is very beautiful, and he matches you very well, you two are a perfect match!"
A brainless person, and a person who relies on his lower body to control his thinking, isn't that a perfect match
Shen Ruomei didn't know whether her words were sincere or not. Although she liked to hear her saying that she was a good match for Mr. Ding, but when she saw her bland smile, she felt that there was something tricky in it, so she sneered twice. In a sharp voice, he said: "We are a good match, but you and the farmer in Taohua Village are also a good match. Don't you always say what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid? It's really true." After finishing speaking , Covering his mouth and giggling, it was full of mockery and sarcasm.
Shen Ruolan was not angry either, she still smiled and said, "Yes, it's a pity that Mr. Ding has already put a lid on this pot, and you are nothing more than a pot grate!"
