Chapter 554 Dowry
"The fourth prince is the younger brother of Emperor Dasheng. In Dasheng, there are few people with a more noble status than him. If you become the fourth prince of Dasheng, you will have a sister-in-law relationship with Queen Dasheng."
< br>
"As long as you make good friends with the Queen and get the right to enter and exit the palace at any time, what do you want to do in the future?"
"Queen Dasheng, she is the most noble woman in Dasheng, with the highest authority. All women in Dasheng have to obey her orders. Sometimes, revenge is faster when it comes to women."
< br>
Prince Masada nudged her gently.
As soon as Princess Zhengna heard this, her pretty face that still had the crimson haze of joy after getting married raised a smile, charming and charming.
She put her arms around Prince Masada's neck and said coquettishly, "Mr. Masada is right, but I am overthinking it. I will obey your words and be the fourth prince's concubine."
"This is a good and obedient woman." Prince Masada turned over and pressed on her again.
……
"Princess, this is your dowry list, please take a look at it."
After Xia Zihan got engaged, Cui's mother was responsible for putting together all the dowry that Xia Zihan had prepared over the past few years. She also made a list, which was said to be a list, but was actually a small book with everything written on it. Full of words.
In the past ten years, since Xia Zihan was reborn, she has been saving a dowry for herself bit by bit. Unexpectedly, this little bit of accumulation has actually accumulated several warehouses full of things.
Most of those things are priceless precious gems, jewelry, clothing, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, utensils and other items that Qi Mei and Qi Lan got for her.
There are also several large boxes of martial arts secrets and magical weapons.
Xia Zihan took it and looked through it.
Mother Cui took out another small book and handed it over, "This is the dowry left by my aunt for you. I have also reorganized it and asked the princess to read it."
When Xia Zihan took the notebook, Cui's mother said, "My aunt's dowry included a set of high-quality chicken wing wood furniture. According to the old lady's wishes, the old slave took out all of it and did not write it on the dowry list."< br>
The old lady made a new set of expensive and high-grade golden nanmu furniture for the princess. They were all made according to the dimensions of the prince's new house. The furniture in the aunt's dowry was moved to the prince's palace and had no place to display. .
The old lady asked her to take it out and put it in the west compartment of the old lady's room.
After Xia Zihan read the dowry that Chu Jiahui left for her, Cui's mother took out a small book and said, "This is the dowry that the old lady bought for the princess."
Over the years, Mrs. Chu has also bought some dowries for Xia Zihan. She bought part of it, saved part of it, and the other part was her dowry back then.
All in all, there is also a small notebook.
Xia Zihan rubbed his forehead with three books full of dowry, feeling a little headache, "There are so many, I'm afraid even three hundred copies can't be packed in them."
When Princess Dasheng gets married, her dowry does not exceed 200 yuan. If she pays 300 yuan, she will not only bring shame on the Dasheng royal family, but also make a high profile and attract people's attention.
What she doesn't like the most is attracting attention. She prefers to be low-key and have a high quality of life.
Xia Zihan thought for a while, then took out the thickest dowry book, handed it to Cui's mother, and said, "Go to the county prince's palace, give this book to your aunt, and tell her that there is no need to put these dowries outside. , I will send someone to send it quietly.”
When a woman gets married, the dowry that is moved to her husband's family must be exposed for people to appreciate.
As for the dowry she had saved herself, everything in it was good. If she took out any item at random, it would make people jealous and envious.
What's more, there are still a lot of them, hundreds of them... She had better carry this dowry secretly and conceal it from others.
Cui's mother didn't understand Xia Zihan's behavior. When girls get married, they all want to be high-profile and make people envious and jealous. However, the princess doesn't want to display these good things and secretly transport them to the prince's palace.
Cui’s mother didn’t understand, but she didn’t ask.
She went to the Prince's Mansion and showed the dowry book to Mrs. Zhuo, "What the Princess means is that this dowry is just for the eyes. The Princess can just copy a separate list and keep it, so that she knows what to do. ”
He told Mr. Zhuo what Xia Zihan meant.
Mrs. Zhuo opened the book and read the names of the items one by one. After reading them, even she was speechless and her eyes widened.
"No wonder Ayu is so cautious in doing things. Everything here is good."
Mrs. Zhuo smiled happily.
"Just tell Ayu and ask her to move her things over at any time. I have already prepared the warehouse. Knowing that she has a large dowry, I specially asked people to build three large warehouses next to their new house. From the east wing There is a door open at the corner door, just go through.”
And that door is also the only way to the warehouse. It is easy to keep and easy to access, which is very convenient.
"Old slave, thank you so much, princess." Mother Cui said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhuo then ordered her mother to take Cui's mother to the warehouse. After Cui's mother returned to her home, in the early morning of the third day, Xia Zihan summoned a group of secret guards and moved her share of the dowry out of Chu. The house was sent to Prince Anjun's Mansion.
Of course, she had already told Mrs. Zeng and Princess Qinghui about this in advance.
Otherwise, I am worried that if some servants see it, they will add fuel to the fire and cause unnecessary trouble. After all, the Chu family now belongs to Princess Qinghui, not hers anymore...
As a granddaughter, she cannot move away anything from the Chu family at will.
The exception, of course, was her dowry.
When moving things, she specially invited Manager Lu, Mother Su, and Grandma Wang to accompany Mother Cui to escort the things there.
This can be regarded as having an open relationship with the Chu family.
After arriving at Prince Anjun's Mansion, Mrs. Zhuo took three housekeepers and followed Cui's mother, Mother Su, to count the items, put them into storage, and copied out two dowry lists.
One portion is reserved for Prince Anjun's palace, and the other portion is to be reserved for the Chu family's wife, and Xia Zihan still has one in hand.
For a dowry, three lists should be written, one for each husband's family, and one for the woman herself. These are some customs that have been passed down, and they are also a guarantee for the woman's dowry.
Many husband-in-laws will use various means to embezzle their daughter-in-law's dowry. In order to prevent this from happening, a woman's natal family will write out several dowry lists when their daughter gets married, to use this as physical evidence in the future.
Of course, Mrs. Zhuo is a tolerant and cheerful person, and will not plan on her daughter-in-law's property. She is not too arrogant and will not be a bad mother-in-law. Besides, she likes Xia Zihan very much.
After the order was written and the items were put into the warehouse, Zhuo handed the keys to the warehouse to Cui's mother for management.
