Sweet Beauty Chapter 94: The wedding day

The Jinjiang system is anti-theft, and you can see the latest update only if you purchase VIP chapters at a rate of more than 40% A fraction of her real industry!

The Chen family is rich, and they are the top merchants in the middle row of Shu. Chen's parents have only two sons and one daughter. The two elder brothers take care of the younger sister. Except for the dowry on the surface, they don't know how much they subsidized in private. The Chen family even has shares in some of the Chen family's industries! The annual dividend is tens of thousands of taels.

Chen shi has been doing business since elementary school and is very good at running it. She used all the money to buy property. Because Jing Shu was young and innocent and pure in the past, Chen shi did not mention it to Jing Shu. Pass.

So even Jing Shu doesn't know much about this.

She didn't have any intention to hide it from Mr. Bai Er at the beginning, but it was because of her mother's instructions, and she had the innate sensitivity of a businessman, and she really didn't like that Bai's mansion was always changing its name to ask for money. Mr. Bai Er was too filial, So it was never mentioned.

I don't want to, but it comes in handy now.

Let's talk about Mr. Bai's veins twitching when he listened to his wife's words. Even if he is no longer skilled in common affairs, Mrs. Chen keeps talking about her annual dowry income, the expenses of the mansion, and the money sent to Beijing. That is to say, their White House is all supported by the dowry of their wives!

How could he not know that his parents changed their ways to ask for money every year, but he felt that the White House was financially poor. One of the eldest brother and the third brother was teaching in the academy, and the other only knew the romance. They didn't make any money, and their parents were getting older. , Beijing has a lot of expenses, and his wife has a lot of wealth. He feels that he should be more filial to his parents and subsidize his brothers. How can he know that his family looks rich, but it is also hollowed out every year? !

A few thoughts flashed through Mr. Bai Er's mind, but as soon as such thoughts flashed, he was suppressed by himself. He grew up reading the book of sages and has always abide by the rules and etiquette. He couldn't even tell his wife.

He thought of telling his wife to sell part of her dowry estate to deal with the current hurdle.

But it was all his wife's dowry. How could he let her sell the hole in the White House? Second, if you really sell it and fill in the current hole, what will you do if you don't have any income in the future? The parents have to raise it every year.

He thought of borrowing some money from his uncle's house first, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't want to embarrass his wife in front of his parents' house because of this.

Master Bai had a headache, so he had no choice but to say: "A Ning, since that's the case, I remember that you have been saving a dowry for Shu'er in recent years? Shu'er is still young and has not yet gotten married. I have to wait for several years, I think it is better to give Shu'er's dowry to Sister Yu first, and after this time, buy it again for Shu'er."

Chen Shi was shocked and looked up at his master in disbelief. He could not help but feel ashamed just by looking at the second master Bai. Although he thought this should be a good way to solve the problem, he still couldn't help it. Some feel sorry for the little daughter.

To be honest, because the youngest daughter grew up beside him, he himself is more fond of the youngest daughter than his sister Yu in Beijing. This is different from the fact that he values ​​his eldest son.

But because of this, he also felt sorry for his eldest daughter.

He coughed and persuaded: "A Ning, although sister Yu was not born to you, she has been raised by your side for five years, and she also calls you mother, although in your heart she is definitely not as good as Shu. Son, but it's not good to be too partial."

Bai Jingyu also followed Mr. Bai Er to Shuzhong when she was six years old, and lived there until she was eleven years old. Mrs. Bai said that she would take her back to Beijing for education.

So Chen Shi has indeed raised Bai Jingyu for five years, and the relationship between the two is not bad. Although Bai Jingyu was a little hostile to her at the beginning, but after getting along with her, the child's feelings gradually changed. There is indeed a sincere admiration for the Chen family.

This is the reason why the Chen family did not refuse to prepare a dowry for Bai Jingyu.

At this time, she brought out this matter and asked, but it was just to test the second master of Bai, and it didn't mean that she really didn't want to care.

Let's talk about what Mr. Bai Er said, he also felt that he favored his wife and young daughter too much, leaving the eldest son and daughter in the capital and leaving them alone in Beijing, and even asking his wife to treat the eldest daughter and the young daughter equally was not enough.

He knew that his wife had been saving dowry for the young girl from a few years ago, because at that time she seemed to have mentioned that some good things should be accumulated slowly. a lot of.

But the eldest daughter is about to get married next year. Her mother in Beijing is busy, she is old, and she has many granddaughters. How can she help her carefully plan these things?

It seems that his wife has never planned so carefully for the eldest daughter. He has been very satisfied with his wife all these years, but at this time, he remembered a letter from his mother, saying that he asked his wife to give her to Sister Yu. Preparing for the dowry, although it is not Chen's biological, it is not too negligent.

The truth is, aren't many people re-marrying their wives just to take care of the children of their original spouse?

Thinking of this, Second Master Bai felt another burst of guilt towards his eldest daughter.

But Bai Er's ideas are obviously at least a distance from the capital to the middle of Shu from the Chen family.

However, Mrs. Chen knew Mr. Bai Er very well. He knew that he was not familiar with daily affairs, and he was less concerned with economics.

Because of the relationship between husband and wife, Mrs. Chen was willing to follow Mr. Bai Er, but after knowing that she was being calculated by the Bai Mansion, she felt cold, and the things that she didn't care about at first appeared. .

Once people start to care, things they didn't see before or they only did things they didn't care about would be like needles, stabbing you more and more sober.

Chen shi said lightly: "Master, most of the dowry that Shu'er accumulated was found by her uncle, and she never even paid the concubine, because it was her uncle who said it was given to her. Niece's. Concubine used to think that the eldest brother and the second brother did not lack the money, and it was also their desire for Shu'er, so concubine didn't insist."

This was originally what my daughter said to the people in the White House when she asked her to buy property in Beijing, but she didn't expect that she would use it with her husband in advance today.

Chen's heart felt inexplicably sad.

Master Bai Er was startled, this, he really didn't know, no, he knew that his brother-in-law helped to find a lot of things, but he didn't know that he didn't even give money.

If it was bought by his wife for his daughter, it would not be inappropriate to use it for Sister Yu, but if the brother-in-law of the Chen family bought it for his niece, it seems a little unreasonable, and he really didn't want to say it.

Bai Er's face turned ashen. It was the first time that he was upset about money matters, but this time, Mr. Chen didn't always find a solution for him as usual. Instead, he frowned and looked unhappy. This made Second Master Bai feel another layer of guilt.

Mr. Bai Er was troubled. The next day, he took the property list given to him by the Chen family and went to his out-of-court steward to ask, but the answer was almost the same. The property was sold, plus the remaining money in the account, plus At the end of the year, his wife's dowry was only about 15,000 taels of silver.

Thinking about it, he could only say to Mrs. Chen: "If that's the case, why don't we sell our current house. We can sell the furniture and ornaments at home, and we can probably raise money. Seven or eight thousand taels."

"Sister Yu's dowry, let's see if we can buy some directly in Shuzhong. If you ask your eldest brother and second brother for help, it will always be much cheaper than in Beijing. It is enough to buy two or three thousand taels."

"As for dowry Zhuangzi and fields, don't you have a small Zhuangzi and some fields in Beijing? Give it to Sister Yu first, and in the future, I will supply you in the future."

Speaking of the last sentence, he also lacked confidence.

Chen Shi quietly watched Mr. Bai Er speak. In fact, every word he said was in line with his character, and he was not much different from his impression, but Chen Shi didn't feel anything before, and he was very kind. I was willing to spend some money and thought to coax him, coax his parents, his eldest son and eldest daughter, but at this time I just felt discouraged for some reason after hearing these words.

How could he ask her to give her dowry Zhuangzi property to his eldest daughter as a dowry request so confidently?

Whether she is willing to give it is one thing, and it is another thing that he directly takes it for granted.

Although the stepmother is also a mother, she is required to treat the children born of her husband's original spouse equally, but it does not include the sharing of her own dowry and private property, and there is no such reasoning in the law.

It's just that she knows that she can't argue with him, because it will only push him away, which is of no use or benefit to herself or Shu'er.

She really hasn't seen these fractions, but she won't let him take it away easily and form a habit. For so many years, didn't she just keep the White House in Beijing and make them a habit? Once you don't plan to raise it any more, it becomes an enemy.

No, she raised them, but they kept plotting against her in the most vicious and sinister ways.

Thinking too thoroughly and coldly, Chen's heart towards his always loving Master Bai gradually changed from before, and slowly established an invisible line of defense.

She knows that he is like this. He may not have intentions, but his unintentional hurts his daughter without knowing it. She can only protect Shu'er in her own way.

She is still coaxing him, but the original intention and purpose are somewhat different.

Chen shi smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Master, that little Zhuangzi's concubine was originally meant to be kept for us to enter the capital, so I might have another place to live."

"Master, you know that the mansion in Beijing is too small, but there are more and more descendants of the Bai mansion. When we go back this time, I am afraid that Brother Zhang and the others will be crowded. So I originally thought that Zhuangzi Li Baifu is not too far away, if we have nothing to do, we can go there to live, it is better than sharing a yard with Brother Zhang’s daughter-in-law, and it is convenient to be filial to our father and mother.”

After hearing this, Mr. Bai Er was silent for a while. The Bai Mansion is not a big one. Most of the married couples of the younger generation were crowded in the mansion and did not move out, because he and the Chen family have always lived in Shu, Brother Zhang. The sons got married, and the mansion couldn't really spare a separate courtyard for them, so they were allowed to live in the three rooms on the north side opposite their main house in the original courtyard of his and Chen's.

Aren't they going to live in the same courtyard with their son and daughter-in-law this time?

This is a real challenge for Mr. Bai Er, who is used to living in big mansions in the middle of Shu.

Seeing Master Bai's frowning and thinking, Mrs. Chen twitched the corners of her mouth, bypassing the topic, and said again: "Speaking of buying a dowry for Sister Yu, sir, do you have Sister Wen's dowry list, and there are more Which ones are going to be reserved for Brother Zhang, and which ones are going to be used as a dowry for Sister Yu? That way, I can also meet a couple, so as not to repeat the purchase."

The second master Bai who asked this question was embarrassed again. His original wife Wen was his uncle and cousin, and his ancestral home was also Jiangnan. Because his grandfather was an old Confucian of the former dynasty, or a kind of idiot, his family was even more troubled. It's difficult, so, where is there any dowry when you marry him?

It's just that little thing, I don't know where it went.

Mr. Chen spoke slowly, warmed up her body, and then gave birth to Jingshu and had a difficult labor. She recounted the incident of Mother Lan's use of oxytocin drugs. These Bai Tongzhi knew it before, but originally it was only the doctor who found out that his wife was like this. The situation can be improved, so Mrs. will mention it to herself again.

Who knew that when I heard the back, the more I heard it, the more wrong it became, and the more ugly my face became.

Chen continued: "Originally, the concubine always thought that after giving birth to Jingshu, she would not be able to conceive again. It was because the dystocia hurt her body at that time, and the concubine's physique was always hot, making it even more difficult to conceive. Doctors who have been there have always said that."

"Who knew that Doctor Yu's friend, Doctor Lin, said that it's not that she couldn't conceive, it was just that her concubine used the oxytocin drug too hard and damaged her foundation. The incense urges the heat, which makes the concubine remain infertile.”

"At that time, the concubine was very strange, and the concubine never liked to use all kinds of spices. How could she say that she has been using warm incense to promote heat? But it turns out that Lan mama accompanies the concubine to the concubine's room to eat every day. Every day, you must bring a warm incense sachet with you. My concubine has already found a lot of warm incense stock from Wen's house."

"Master, Mother Lan was sent by my mother, and it is not easy for my concubine to interrogate directly. Today, my concubine invited Doctor Yu, Doctor Lin, and several other high-ranking doctors from Changzhou City to come with me. They will check the body of the concubine again, and then the master will interrogate the blue mama, so as not to let the master misunderstand that the concubine has wronged her."

Bai Tongzhi can only hear his face sinking. He and Chen's husband and wife have always been in love, but having no children has always been a problem for him. He had to be the eldest son. For this reason, his mother had always been very critical, but the ancestors of the Bai family were strict and not allowed to take concubines. Let it go, my mother has no choice but to do so.
