My daughter's dowry is too much, so I can't hide it.
Because Fubao is the head of Delfu Township, the lowest rank among the baronesses. But no matter how low she is, she is still a concubine, a member of the noble family, and is under the supervision of the clan.
The tax collection power of the clan government!
Mr. Xu was confused and didn't understand what his uncle was planning.
Oh, by the way, Fubao is still underage, so the clan government cannot levy taxes.
But as long as word spreads that his daughter has such a large dowry, there will probably be as many people eyeing his family's treasure as crucian carp crossing the river.
Money moves people's hearts.
For the future of my precious daughter, we must prepare early.
The first is that the manpower belonging to the daughter must be sufficient. Overt, covert, and martial arts must all be outstanding and must be cultivated from an early age.
In this way, when something happens, there won't be no one to help.
Didn’t his mother suffer such a loss back then
Men, men are unreliable.
My natal family, my natal family is unreliable.
Mr. Xu knows that he can be his daughter's support, but he will eventually grow old. The three sons are almost two rounds older than Fubao, so they will also grow old.
Therefore, the little ones at home need to practice.
Next, I need to buy some little dolls to prepare for my daughter.
In just a few moments, Mr. Xu thought about the distant future and started planning.
He wants no one to dare to ask for his daughter's dowry in the future. Want to take advantage of his family's fortune? Yes, if you show your sincerity, I will give you a gold mine.
Although Boss Xu doesn't know why his father suddenly wants to buy someone, just buy it.
Just like his father said, it's not a problem for such a big house to be empty.
…
When the Xu family received the dowry list and account books sent by Zhao Bingyi, Princess Yuyan in the county also received news from the capital and learned that Zhao Bingyi had given all the Zhao family's dowry to Fubao. things.
It was a common practice in the Tang Dynasty that if the mother's dowry was not spent and there was no special will, it would belong to the daughter.
Once upon a time, the Zhao family had no daughter, and for some reasons, her dowry eventually returned to the Zhao family.
But now, the Zhao family wanted to return the dowry, but they refused to give her their daughter, which was unreasonable. Even if she was adopted, it was the Queen Mother's decree.
If it were just a small dowry, Princess Yuyan would not think anything of it.
Her mother is the eldest princess, and it is not an exaggeration to call her dowry "Ten Miles of Red Dowry", and most of it will eventually belong to her.
But at this moment, just looking at the amount of cash in the dowry that Fubao got, Princess Yuyan was more or less moved.
Tens of millions of taels of cash. Is there so much cash in the treasury
The extremely wealthy Zhao family can really make money.
However, Princess Yuyan was a person who wanted to show off her face, even though she was envious and jealous of the dowry in her heart. However, Princess Yuyan felt a little inappropriate when she was asked to go off directly to fight for it.
If this was really done, would she still be embarrassed once word got out
The royal family and nobles also want to save face.
But Princess Yuyan looked at this letter and understood to some extent her mother's intention of sending this letter.
Her mother just wanted to say that she should have a share of these dowries. But what can she do? To fight with a little baby who is not yet one year old
If she said this, she, the princess, would still be shameless
The most important thing is that it is true that she was adopted by Mrs. Zhao, but not many people know about this, right
Princess Yuyan was always worried about the fact that she was adopted. Deep down in her heart she was resisting and resentful.
At this moment, even though she understood what her mother meant and how generous Zhao's dowry was, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
In fact, thinking back to her thoughts about the dowry just now, Princess Yuyan felt a little guilty in her heart.
Is it ridiculous for an aunt who doesn't need anything to snatch things from her little niece
…
"Princess, Your Highness asked this servant to tell you, what does a momentary honor or disgrace mean?"
"Ten or twenty years from now, when you return to the capital, how many people will remember these things?"
"The enemy's wealth is in front of you. If you don't take it, someone will take it."
"By then, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret it!"
The person who delivered the letter was Mama You, one of Princess Yuyan's mother's right-hand men, and a more powerful person than Mama Song.
After Mama You finished speaking, she stopped talking and waited for Princess Yuyan to make a decision.
"Of course, His Highness said that no matter what choice she makes, she will not blame you. You will always be her daughter. If you can't shame this matter, Your Highness is willing to stand up for you!"
Princess Yuyan, who was still hesitant at first, suddenly smiled when she heard what Mama You said.
She looked at Mama You calmly and said, "Mother You, please stop talking!"
Princess Yuyan took a deep breath and looked at Mama You with an increasingly determined look, "Please go back and tell Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess that this is Yuyan's housework, so that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess won't bother! "
In the past, Princess Yuyan had always been thinking about her mother, the eldest princess.
But after hearing what Mother You said, Princess Yuyan suddenly felt something was not right.
Is she short of money
Is her mother short of money
Yes, that's right, Fu Bao is a dowry with the wealth of an enemy country. But what do they want with the money? They don't have to worry about food or clothing. They have all kinds of delicacies, silks and satins.
So what if I get these dowries
Could she still be able to use these
For future generations
Today, they can plot against a little girl for the dowry of this extremely wealthy country, but in the future someone will plot against her descendants. What is she planning
Are you just trying to leave a pile of gold and silver to bring disaster to future generations
At this moment, Princess Yuyan doubted for the first time what her mother was planning.
When her mother said she was good to her, was she really good to her
When she was in the capital, she often heard people talk about the Zhao family's wealth, and she could even see the greed that many people looked at the Zhao family.
At that time, when she saw such a person, she felt that his character was despicable.
We obviously already have a lot of money at home, so why do we still worry about other people’s things
Now, these things have actually happened to her. If she really grabs the dowry, whether she grabs it or not, she will become the kind of person she once despised and looked down upon.
"Princess Princess...?!"
Mother You was stunned when she heard what Princess Yuyan said.
From what Princess Yuyan said, it seemed that she was blaming Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
"Mama You, I'm a little tired, please help yourself!"
After saying this, Princess Yuyan stood up and left the living room, going straight back to her room.
She felt she needed to think about it.
After arriving in Anshun County, the few days in Lingshui Village were short, but Princess Yuyan was deeply touched, especially when she saw the way Mr. Xu and his family got along.
Thinking back to when she was at home, how did her parents look like a couple? Does their home feel like home? (End of chapter)
