    When Mother Jia heard this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

    In the past, Jia Mu would have been furious if she said this, but now she is no better than before, and Jia Lian is no longer Jia She.

    The title of the ancestors has long since declined, and the plaque of the Marquis Mansion was earned by Jia Lian through life and death.

    Jia Mu's confidence suddenly weakened, and she could only hold on as an elder.

    However, Yuanchun's affairs had to be dealt with, and Yuanchun would have to rely on Jia Lian to take care of him from now on. Jia's mother knew in her heart that her second son Jia Zheng was just a clay Bodhisattva who could not hold up the wall.

    She can¡¯t fall out with Jia Lian.  Mother Jia smiled bitterly, she was actually in this situation: "Of course you don't like to hear this. Our ancestors earned this family fortune, and it is natural for future generations to enjoy the inheritance. The daughters of the Hou family are all valuable, and they are considered legitimate concubines.  But you said that Ying Yatou is the daughter of the noble family, isn't your eldest sister? Isn't the third girl? "

    Jia Lian smiled and said: "Although Yingchun is a concubine, she is indeed the master's direct bloodline, the only daughter, and a genuine daughter of a noble family. My grandson has never known that in the eyes of the old lady, a direct descendant of a fifth-rank official is more important than a direct descendant.  The concubines of the Hou Mansion are still honored! Inferring from this, wouldn¡¯t those relatives from the back streets all come to the Hou Mansion to get a share of the pie? Which old man is not the brother of his grandfather? However, according to the national laws and family rules, they are side branches and cannot enjoy the benefits of the Hou Mansion.  The house is rich and noble!¡±

    Mother Jia could no longer hold back her anger: "Are you saying that your second uncle is a side branch? How dare you say this? He is your grandfather's direct son!"

    Jia Lian smiled lightly: "Aren't the Second Grand Master, the Third Grand Master and the Fourth Grand Master a direct descendant of the former Duke's Palace? Aren't they the brothers of my grandfather? Are they direct branches or side branches now? Can their status be equal to that of the old lady? They are the meritorious fields of Rong Mansion.  Do you have a share?"

    Mother Jia's lips trembled with anger: "You rebellious and unfilial thing, I"

    Jia Lian didn't want to be confused with Jia's mother anymore, otherwise he would be angry to death, so he stood up and stroked his sleeves like his father: "Since the old lady thinks so, my grandson has nothing to say, so whatever the old lady does, I can go back to Jinling."  Okay, it¡¯s okay to complain about disobedience, but my grandson asks the old lady to remember this sentence: when you get married, you will obey your husband, and when your husband dies, you will obey your son!"

    How dare Jia Lian accuse her!

    Jia Mu really wanted to faint and forget it, but Sister Feng had long blocked her escape route and made her soup to nourish her every day. She had a rosy complexion, sharp ears and eyes, and her skin was pinker than Xing's. She wanted to pretend to be sick, but she also had some problems.  Excuse me.

    She pointed at Jia Lian: "You, you, you, you"

    Yuanchun showed up at the right time, and hurriedly said to Jia Mu: "Please calm down, it's because my granddaughter is unfilial and has brought trouble to the old lady."

    Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her. Mother Jia knew that if the trouble continued, it would be difficult to end. If she didn't dwell on the filial piety, she held her forehead and shed tears.

    Yuanchun smiled apologetically at Sister Jia Liancheng and said: "I know, I used a lot of money from the house in the past, and everyone has complaints. I don't want a penny from the house. How much is the betrothal gift of the Shui family? How much should we marry?"  , I am the county boss, no one dares to underestimate me."

    Hearing what she said was pitiful, Mother Jia became angry again: "Girl, you want to give up every penny when you get married. Aren't you afraid of others poking your back?"

    Jia Lian walked away without saying a word!

    Mother Jia's anger suddenly rose: "Lian'er, what's your attitude when you come back?"

    Sister Feng was busy trying to comfort Jia Mu and persuaded her, "It's really the old lady who has misunderstood the master and Lian'er!"

    The implication is that you have always wronged others and your children and grandchildren cannot afford to offend you. Why don't you allow your children and grandchildren to hide out?

    "Jia Mu is a very smart person, how can she not hear this?"  She does not feel that she is wrong. Even if she is wrong, she will never bow to her children and grandchildren.  According to her past temperament, she should point at Sister Feng's nose to get angry. This is the nature of her ancestors.  However, two of the three principals of the big house were gone. It was hard for her to drive Sister Feng away. They were all gone. Who was she going to ask for money from?

    Sister Feng was not prepared to get any response from Jia Mu, so she continued: "Although my eldest aunt did spend hundreds of thousands of silver, it was also a decision-making mistake of the elders in the house. It was not the eldest sister who ate, drank and dressed herself, and it is not the eldest sister's fault, let alone the  It¡¯s in the dowry. The old lady also knows that the current situation is not comparable to the former Duke¡¯s Mansion. The debt to the treasury was only paid off last year. The government¡¯s income is only so much, so we can¡¯t all fail, right?¡±

    "The eldest master and Lian'er have discussed the amount of dowry for the girls in the mansion. Daughters are no better than boys. They can go out and earn a career. The girls must have the confidence to live a straight life in their husband's family. For this reason, let's make an estimate.  , Ten thousand silver is enough for my daughter¡¯s family to eat and drink for a lifetime. Therefore, we decided to give each girl a dowry of ten thousand silver.¡±

    "A dowry of 10,000 silver to marry a girl, in addition to marrying into the royal family, is considered a generous marriage in Kyoto, and she will no longer be laughed at. This is our intention.", raised his eyes to see Shui Huan, and immediately raised his eyes and scolded: "If this is the case, why didn't your wife tell you earlier? She came in every day or two"

    Old Mrs. Shui was immediately furious with her son. She hit her son on the leg with a crutch: "You are so shameless. You can't bear to let your wife scold your son. What does it have to do with him? You know what people say. Mr. Shi said, you can't afford to offend him."  Clan, give up your wealth to avoid disaster, listen to how you have ruined the reputation of the clan, I have embarrassed you so much that I am embarrassed to see the Queen Mother again."

    The Duke of Zhen had no choice but to turn around and scold his wife: "Can you tell me what to do?"

    Jellyfish sobbed and said, "In the worst case, I'll just give the shop back to her."

    Old Mrs. Shui snorted coldly: "They want you to compensate for your daughter's reputation. Your shop originally belongs to them, does this count as sincerity?"

    The Duke of Zhen had no choice but to look at his old mother: "Old lady, tell me what to do. My son will listen to you."

    Old Mrs. Shui sneered: "If you don't want to go to the palace and get slapped in the face, just give me a marriage honestly."

    Jellyfish frowned: "Marriage? Shui Huan has already married Jia Yuanchun. He is married by the Queen Mother and cannot be changed"

    Old Mrs. Shui twisted her mouth and said, "Xiao Sa'er is not married yet. Didn't you like her at the beginning? If you want to give her to Shui Huan, it's not right to give her to Sa'er now."

    Hearing this, Jellyfish exclaimed: "This can't work, she is already eighteen, and Sa'er is only fifteen. Besides, he and Qing'er"

    Old Mrs. Shui suddenly spat: "What? Her sister's child has not harmed Huan'er enough, but she also wants to harm Sa'er? I asked you why you took the person here and stayed there, but you didn't leave, but you had this idea, as soon as possible  Send that girl away, do you want the brothers to fall out with each other and never see each other again? You are a cruel woman, and you used to laugh at people for treating their bastards harshly, but I think you treat your own son more cruelly than other people's bastards!"

    Old Mrs. Shui pointed at the door and said angrily: "Get out of here, when will you finish the Xue family's affairs and come to see me!"

    The jellyfish left, and the old lady Shui cursed a few more times before she stopped.  Looking at Shui Huan, he just sighed: "It seems that I shouldn't have taken you by my side to educate you, but now your mother has alienated you. Don't worry, before I close my eyes, I will definitely give you what I promised you. I don't believe it."  , I am the daughter of a noble family and the wife of a duke, but I can't protect my grandson!"

    Shui Huan smiled and said: "The younger son and the older grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. The grandson can understand his mother!"

    Old Mrs. Shui nodded: "You are a good child, you only blame those blind things"

    Shui Huan was afraid that Yuan Chun would hear it, so he hurriedly interjected: "My grandson no longer thinks about the past. I have decided to go to Taipu Temple to be the temple minister. Although the name is not good, it is more leisurely and there is no danger."

    Old Mrs. Shui nodded: "That's good. Find something to do to kill time, so you don't have to sit at home and think about all this."

    Shui Huan smiled and said, "That's not why my grandson is here. He is afraid that he will be looked down upon by his son in the future, and that his father will be said to be an old dandy who is just waiting to die."

    Old Mrs. Shui immediately beamed: "What, there's good news so soon?"

    Shui Huan wiped her nose and smiled: "I haven't asked the doctor yet, but Chun'er said that her little day in the middle of the month has been postponed for a month. I'm afraid"

    Old Mrs. Shui was overjoyed and asked the imperial doctor to come to the house to diagnose her pulse. It turned out to be a happy pulse, and the whole house was overjoyed.

    Although it has been five years since Mrs. Crown Prince entered the family, she has only given birth to a pair of daughters and has never been happy again. She has an old figure and looks forward to her great-grandson with her eyes.

    When the news came back to Rong Mansion, Jia Mu was overjoyed.

    Sister Feng also breathed a sigh of relief: "One bird and one egg, my aunt is really in good health!"

    Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The soup that grandma made for her was not in vain."

    In the past, she was only forced once by King Zhongshun, but this time she was happy to enter the house. It was rare that Shui Huan didn't care about her past affairs. I have to say that Yuanchun's fate was not so smooth!

    Jia Lian felt a lot more relieved after hearing this. At least Yuanchun now has a new bond and will no longer have idle dreams.  Even if there is any inappropriate behavior, it is still a household matter of the Shui family and has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion.

    At the end of March, the Wei family came to hire people and set a wedding date for the eighth day of May.

    The Wei family hired 30,000 silver, but the Shi family had basically nothing to offer, and Shi Xiangyun simply left Beijing empty-handed.  The wedding dress was made of fabric produced by Jia Mu, and she embroidered it herself.

    Yingchun Tanchun Xi Chun and Sister Daiyu, embroidered a bed of Bai Zifu for her.

    Sister Feng also ordered the embroiderer in the mansion to make mosquito nets, curtains and other necessary things for her, and put together the bedroom.

    Sister Feng then discussed with Jia Mu and bought a 400-acre farm in Xiangyun with the 3,000 silver from Jia Mu, Feng and Jia She, plus 500 silver each from Xue Wang and Zhen Yinglian.

    This way, Xiangyun¡¯s dowry looks much better.

    Jia¡¯s mother ordered Sister Feng to lay out everything for detailed inspection. Only then did she realize that there was not a single piece of furniture in Xiangyun¡¯s dowry.
