Xu Changan's mother was born in the Yang family of Fengzhou, a scholarly family for generations, and was quite famous in the local area. Back then, Mother Xu met Xu Yongnian inadvertently, and she insisted on marrying Xu Yongnian despite her family's objections. Her daughter insisted that the family could not do anything about it. However, the Yang family did not make much arrangements because they were dissatisfied with the marriage, and even refused to go home on the day after their daughter got married. When my daughter came in, they stopped communicating.
Maybe it was because she knew what the family thought. When Mother Xu got married, her mother prepared a generous dowry for her. Not to mention ordinary people, even if she married into a rich and noble family, the dowry was enough to make sure that Mother Xu had no food or clothing. Worry about a lifetime of wealth.
Looking through his mother's dowry list, Xu Changan knew that there were some things on it that he would not come back to, but there were still some things on it, and he would not leave any of them for the Xu family.
"Mummy, I have something to discuss with my father, you go and invite him over." It is said that the son has something to discuss with his father, so he has to go there in person, but Xu Changan did not, he just wanted to go to the place where his mother lived before he died. No matter what his father wants to belong to his mother, he wants to know how cruel his father can be.
As for Xu Changan's orders, Yang mama usually doesn't ask the reason. Anyway, she does what the master ordered.
Soon, Mammy Yang came over with Xu Yongnian, and Xu Yongnian's face really didn't look good. Xu Changan didn't ask, and simply said, "Father, the date of my wedding with the eldest prince is approaching. I asked you to come here to talk to you about my dowry."
No matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as you get married, the family should pay a dowry. No one can say that.
"This is what it should be." If Xu Changan hadn't mentioned the dowry, Father Xu wanted to pretend to be confused. Anyway, this son was destined to be neglected when he married, so just give the dowry casually.
"Father, what I mean is this. I know that my father's salary is not much, and the family has a large population and a lot of expenses. Although I am going to marry, I am also a Xu family member, and I have to think about the people in my family. Well, my father can give him whatever he wants. I'll just prepare something, and my dowry will be my mother's share." Xu's mother only allowed Chang'an to have one son, and it was only natural that Xu Chang'an would inherit the dowry of Xu's mother. The dowry of a married woman, which her husband's family has no right to dispose of, should be taken care of by herself before her death, and left to her own children after death.
Xu Changan's words fell, and Father Xu had a dark face. At the beginning of the words, he was still happy, thinking that this kid is so good, who knows that this black-hearted kid doesn't look down on the Xu family's things and is waiting to get the big head. what!
"Don't think about it!" Without the support of Yang's dowry, how could he be able to support the Xu family with just his own salary!
"What do you mean by my father? My mother has passed away. If she doesn't give me her dowry, should I put it in the Xu family? We don't have such rules in the Great Xiao Dynasty." He sneered in his heart, Xu Changan didn't intend to give him such a good father. Stayed. Regardless of Xu Yongnian still standing, Xu Changan sat down by himself, took out the dowry excerpt from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to Xu Yongnian, so that he had better go and count the things on it.
"I don't want the silver in it, it's just to honor my father and grandmother. The antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry on it also have Zhuangzi's property, yes, there are shops, and I have asked my father to prepare them for me. I will have this dowry list. It is to be handed over to the royal family." This is Yang's dowry, his only son is married, it is reasonable to take these things away, and Xu Changan's marriage object is the royal family, if Xu Yongnian dares to take the above things If you don't give it, the person who counts his dowry, that is, the royal family will not agree. At that time, Xu Yongnian will not be able to bear the crime of privately occupying his deceased wife's dowry.
He is an official of the imperial court, and he must not only abide by discipline and law, but also take care of his reputation. If he commits any of the two, it is enough to ruin his official career and end his life.
"You! You idiot!" Xu Yongnian was so angry that he couldn't take care of his face anymore. Scholars like to say that all kinds of inferior grades are only high in reading, but are scholars not human? Scholars also have to eat, drink, and sleep, and everything is inseparable from money. Thinking that Xu Changan was thinking of emptying the Xu family, Xu Yongnian regretted it a lot. Nizi and his mother were sent to Huangquan Road together!
He never thought that none of the Xu family's things in his heart really belonged to the Xu family. Instead, it was the deceased Yang family who supported the Xu family for more than ten years.
"Father is so angry, does he want to give me something unclean? Father should think twice, if I, the concubine whom the emperor gave marriage to, die suddenly at home, no matter what the reason is, the royal family will only think of one reason, the father is dissatisfied The emperor's decree to grant marriage, I know my name privately, the emperor should not be merciful about the royal face." Xu Changan sat on the side, staring at his biological father, he knew that Xu Yongnian was regretting, but in fact He is also regretting it himself. If he was sensible and awake earlier, don't pin his hopes on this completely heartless father, and be as strong as he is now, wouldn't his mother die so wronged.
In the face of his son who suddenly became stronger and whose identity had completely changed, Xu Yongnian had no choice but to leave, with blood dripping in his heart, to take what was written on the piece of paper he had crumpled into a ball.
"Master, you are just so majestic!" After so many days, the two girls finally showed a sincere smile on their faces. Xu Changan knew early on that they were peeking on the side, and also knew that they were upset for him in their hearts. He was not just for letting out a sigh of relief, but also for them.
"It's just a fox and a tiger." Everything has gains and losses, he just uses what he gets to win something for himself first.
Chun Yu's joy was fully expressed on her face. She thought that it seemed that the young master's marriage was not all bad. If there was no such marriage, the young master would not know when he would be able to vent his anger and avenge his wife.
After leaving his son's yard angrily, Xu Yongnian had to go to his mother's yard cheeky. Since Yang's death, Yang's mother has taken the most jewelry, followed by his cousin, and a few aunts who have passed through the room. There, he also rewarded him a little when they were serving him comfortably. It's easy to talk about my mother and those aunties, it's the cousin's place... hey! It doesn't matter, let's get the mother here first.
"What? How could this belong to the Yang family? Since she married into the Xu family, then her belongings belong to the Xu family, so why give it to that kid!" Xu Yongnian's father was a scholar in a remote town, nearly four years old Shicai is still a talented man, but he was never looked down upon before, but he had no choice but to spend money to marry a village woman from a nearby village to carry on the lineage.
This Liu family does not know a single big character, let alone the national law. She believes that what is Yang family is her own. When Shi died, he reluctantly moved most of his things into his own house.
Now hearing from her son that this is still something of the Yang family, it has to be given to the only son of the Yang family, how could she understand and accept it, so she naturally quit.
"Mother! Do you want those external things or your son's official life?" Xu Yongnian didn't expect that this was the easiest place to hit a nail at the beginning. Eyes roared out directly.
The old Liu Shi was taken aback by the appearance of his son, and he asked tremblingly, "Is it a violation of the law not to give it? Should I be put in jail?"
"Mother! The state-owned legal family has family rules. At home, you are the son of the ancestors and can follow you, but no matter how old you are at home, you can't screw the royal family to the state law! Are you going to hold the money and watch your son die
Now that kid hates me to the bone, and has completely disregarded the affection between father and son. If you really don't give it, just wait for the kid and the emperor to sue and let our Xu family go to jail! "Thinking of his son's calmness and schadenfreude, Xu Yongnian almost vomited blood, his anger was not vented, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he actually vomited a mouthful of blood!
As soon as Xu Yongnian vomited blood, he directly frightened the old Liu Shi to pass out, her son is her God, she just loves Yinzi and his son is the most important thing! This time, there is no need for his son to come forward. The old Liu Shi himself came forward and took back all the things from his niece Liu Shi and those concubines, and handed them all over to Xu Changan.
Only after the things were handed over, the old Liu Shi was not reconciled. Every day, he would go to Xu Chang'an's courtyard to scold people. Every time he scolded people for an hour, he didn't know if it was because the old man was less sleepy. Get up and continue scolding.
"Master, the old lady is really too much! You are just taking back the things of the lady. How can she be a grandmother like this? It's really disrespectful!" These days, Xu Changan didn't respond at all, Yang Ma Mammy and the two girls were very angry. If it weren't for their status, Chun Yu would have thought of scolding people in front of the door.
"No matter what she does, she's already a person with one foot in the coffin. Let her scold me. I don't care. We won't be here for two days anyway."
"Yeah, the day of the young master's big wedding is the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow, I don't know what kind of person the eldest prince is, and he will take a bit of his anger. The road ahead... can only be taken one step at a time.
