If Nian really got engaged to someone else, I'm afraid that Miss Shi's family would have been heartbroken long ago, how could she say it so easily.
Asking what love is in the world, it is really one thing and one thing. When it comes to feelings, even Shi Huiru, who is straightforward and free and easy, is so twitchy.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Shi Huiru forced a smile and said, "Look at me, I'm obviously here to congratulate you, what are you talking about, I have other things to come to you!"
She leaned forward and said: "Don't blame me for being troublesome. Now that you have lost your aunt, your father has gone to southern Xinjiang and will not be able to come back for a while. I want to ask you, what do you plan to do about the dowry?" manage?"
Yu Linglong was a little dazed, dowry? She really didn't think about it.
However, she also knows that the etiquette of marriage for a woman in ancient times is very complicated, not to mention that she is going to marry into the palace to become a princess. Although it is only a stopgap measure, it is generally passable, right
Thinking of these messy things, Yu Linglong's head would get dizzy, she was not afraid of anything, but these trivial things made her headache.
Let Yu Qianyun arrange for her? Don't say whether Yu Qianyun is happy or not, just because she is a girl who grew up in the countryside, can she do this
Seeing Yu Linglong's gloomy face, Shi Huiru also guessed a little bit, and said: "How about, let me help you, and you have to marry off in a good way."
Yu Linglong raised her head and looked at Shi Huiru in surprise, "You?"
It's not that she doesn't believe in Shi Huiru, but that she didn't expect Shi Huiru to be willing to pay so much for her.
Shi Huiru misunderstood what she meant, and looked very hurt: "Why, can't you trust me?"
Yu Linglong said: "That's not true."
Only then did Shi Huiru laugh: "That's good. I'll go to your fifth sister in a while to discuss your dowry. You can rest assured."
121 Want to fuck me? You are too young!
"Dowry?" Yu Qianyun raised her head in surprise when Shi Huiru explained her intentions.
Did Shi Huiru mean to ask her to prepare a dowry for Yu Linglong? Now that the Yu Mansion is in disarray, she is overwhelmed by the affairs in the mansion all day long, and now she has to prepare a dowry for Yu Linglong
Seeing Yu Qianyun's surprised look, Shi Huiru was very surprised: "Yes, Linglong is going to marry into Prince Xu's residence soon, so of course she has to prepare for a dowry."
Yu Qianyun lowered her head and fell silent.
After Aunt Mei was kicked out, she hastily took over the job of housekeeper. The power she once wanted so much, but when she got it, she found that it was not what she imagined.
These days, she hasn't fully sorted out the accounts of Yu Mansion, but she also roughly knows that the current Yu Mansion is not only withered on the surface, but also empty inside. When Aunt Dong eloped with someone, she brought a batch of belongings with her. When Aunt Mei was in charge, she transferred a lot of valuable property and money out of the house in different ways. The Yu Mansion, which was not rich in the first place, now has only an empty shell left, and the only thing worth any money is probably this house.
Now that Yu Linglong is going to get married, and she is going to marry into Prince Xu's Mansion, she doesn't need to think about it, she must prepare a generous dowry, otherwise, losing the face of Yu Mansion is a trivial matter, but offending the royal family is a serious crime.
Besides, if the dowry is too shabby, can that fierce girl Yu Linglong let her go
But in the current situation of Yu Mansion, even if the family goes bankrupt, I'm afraid they won't be able to afford a decent dowry.
Seeing that Yu Qianyun was silent, Shi Huiru thought it was because she was young and didn't know the rules, and she was afraid of messing up the matter, so she smiled and comforted her: "Sister Yun'er, don't worry, this matter looks difficult. In fact, it's quite simple. The things that the Empress Dowager and the Empress have rewarded haven't been touched yet. Just make a list and send them over. As for the others, they are nothing more than land, shops, furniture, antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, etc. , as well as accompanying servants, cooks, mothers-in-law, and maids who are used to Linglong in daily life, and the rest are free. See what Linglong likes, and bring them to the palace..."
Every time Shi Huiru said something, Yu Qianyun's eyelids couldn't help twitching, and her flesh ached. She saw the rewards sent by the official of the Ministry of Rites that day, and they were all priceless. She has lived in the country for so many years, and she has never seen such a rare treasure, but now, she hasn't even touched it, so is she going to send it out intact
In addition to the things that the Yu Mansion wanted to accompany, even if they ransacked the current family property, it would not be enough to give Yu Linglong a dowry.
Even if these things are barely enough to let Yu Linglong get married in a grand manner, how will she live her life after that? Why didn't anyone think about it for her? Shouldn't she not be a dowry when she gets married in the future
Shi Huiru was the first person to speak enthusiastically, but she didn't know how many thoughts had already turned in Yu Qianyun's heart.
Gritting her teeth secretly, Yu Qianyun tried her best to show a gentle smile, and said softly: "Thank you, Elder Sister Shi, for your reminder. Fourth Sister is really lucky to have you helping her like this."
Unaware of the meaning behind Yu Qianyun's words, Shi Huiru had a sincere smile on her face, and said, "Sister Yun has won the award, and I'm just doing Linglong a small favor."
Yu Qianyun lowered her eyelids with a smile, covering the coldness in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Then I will prepare according to Sister Shi's wishes. If there is something I don't understand, I will ask Sister Shi for advice."
Shi Huiru smiled and said, "Sister Yun is too polite, if you don't understand anything, just send someone to find me."
Yu Qianyun exchanged a few words with Shi Huiru, then sent Shi Huiru out, and had to be courteous again.
Seeing Shi Huiru leave in the carriage, the smile on Yu Qianyun's face gradually disappeared.
Yu Linglong, do you want to be your princess smoothly? I just won't let you get what you want!
…
Perhaps because of Xu Wang's constant urging, Qin Tianjian quickly set a date for the wedding, which was on the 28th day of the first lunar month.
Although she was about to leave Yu Mansion, Yu Linglong did not turn a blind eye to what happened in Yu Mansion, especially Yu Qianyun's movements, she never let down her vigilance.
She had never believed in this Fifth Miss, and her intuition told her that Yu Qianyun was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Therefore, Yu Linglong was not very surprised when someone quietly came to report to her about the arrangements Yu Qianyun had made in the past few days.
After listening to the maid's report, Yu Linglong sneered.
Yu Qianyun, are you really going to do something this time
She is going to get married in half a month, but unfortunately, some people can't even wait for such a few days.
Hemerocallis sealed a purse of ten taels of silver, sent the maid who reported the letter out the door, turned around and asked Yu Linglong anxiously: "Miss, what should we do now?"
Although Yu Qianyun's plan has not yet been implemented, Daylianocallis is already very scary to her ears. She can't imagine what it would be like now if her young lady hadn't planted so many eyeliners in Yu's mansion in advance. situation.
If they really fell into other people's trap, then it would be over for them all!
Yu Linglong curled her lips into a sneer, and said in a deep voice, "Since she came up with the idea, then let's—"
After drinking the tea in her hand in one gulp, a cold sternness flashed across Yu Linglong's pretty face: "... Please enter the urn!"
Want to bully her, Yu Qianyun is too tender!
But judging by her age, it is not bad to be able to come up with such an idea, and it did not waste her years of suffering in the countryside.
It's a pity that this kind of insidious method is just left over from Yu Linglong's play, so how could it possibly escape her discernment.
She originally wanted to leave the Yu Mansion to Yu Qianyun, but it's a pity that some people are used to thinking badly of others, and would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.
If you dare to provoke her, then don't blame her, you won't be merciless!
…
The cold moonlight shines on the courtyard of Pinlanyuan, and under the porch, the snow on Sijiqing is blown to the ground by the breeze, and the sprinkled ground emits silvery light.
The whole yard seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and there was no sound at all.
In the darkness, a black figure climbed over the wall and landed on the ground without a sound. He quickly looked around and saw no one noticed, so he raised his steps and slipped towards the main room.
Short body leaned under the window and listened for a while, the black figure pierced a small hole in the window paper, then took out a strip-shaped thing from his chest and ignited it, then stuffed it in through the small hole.
After waiting for a long time, making sure that everyone inside was fainted by the incense, the black shadow walked to the main door, and opened the door latch with a knife as lightly as possible.
With a soft thud, the door latch opened, and the black shadow immediately covered his mouth and nose with the veil he had prepared before slowly pushing the door open.
The room was pitch black, and everyone inside seemed to be in a deep sleep, not realizing that the danger was approaching.
On the couch by the window, there was a shadowy figure lying there, probably a night watch maid. The black figure was careful not to bump into anything, and groped towards the inner room.
Through the moonlight, he saw a delicately decorated gum bed, with the curtain hanging low, tightly covering the figure inside.
There was a sound of swallowing saliva in the darkness, and the black figure who had been lightly moving was obviously impatient, and immediately stretched out his hand to lift the curtain.
The curtain was lifted, and before he could see the people inside, he was kicked heavily on the face unexpectedly!
The sound of the broken nasal bone was especially clear in the silent night, and the black shadow fell to the ground in pain, clutching his bloody nose and moaning.
Immediately, the candle was lit. Hemerocallis and Ling'er each had a tea-soaked handkerchief wrapped around their faces. They were neatly dressed and appeared on the gums.
