Chapter 15 Dowry

Five hundred taels...

Mo Xiaodie was a little confused. She had not had time to understand the concept of money in this world. Five hundred taels sounded a lot, but she really didn't understand how much it was.

Fortunately, Lin Shaoan continued, "For some wealthy families, five hundred taels of silver is not enough for a season for clothes, but my father and uncle originally intended to make Guo add more food and drink to you on weekdays and make your life better!"

When Lin Shaoan saw Wei Ziqing's angry face, hesitated for a moment, and did not say that in addition to these five hundred taels, his father and uncle often brought some antiques and utensils.

The purpose is just to let the three of them feel the concern of their mother's family for them without a mother.

Mo Xiaodie understood that 500 taels of silver would not allow them to live a luxurious and enjoyable life, but it is definitely enough to let them eat and drink enough!

Judging from the appearance of Wei Ziqing and Wei Chengxuan, they not only did not know that these five hundred taels existed, but these five hundred taels were definitely not used on them!

No wonder Wei Ziqing was so angry just now. Seeing his younger brother's appearance, he thought of them and their mother's family who were always kept in the dark. In addition, he was more sad and heartbroken.

"I don't know if my father knows this. If my father knows it, my heart will be completely cold!"

Wei Ziqing suddenly choked and said, "Since he was named a marquis, his father has been proud, but his father was born in a rampant manner. What else can he do besides fighting?

After the Great Xia Dynasty settled down, my father stayed at home with his spare time, and the entire marquis' mansion only relied on the rewards from the official family when he was awarded the title, and he and his father's annual food and fortune were maintained.

My uncle and his family are shamelessly lying to us. My uncle is so old that he not only accomplished nothing, but also knows how to eat, drink, whore and gambling every day.

I always knew that our Marquis’ Mansion looked at the scenery on the surface, but in fact, there was only one empty shell left!

But I didn’t expect that they were so shameless!”

Mo Xiaodie also heard Xin Yi say about this.

Mo Xiaodie looked at the folk customs of this world a bit like the Song Dynasty in her world. People below called the emperor and liked to use the word "official".

The Nanping Hou was the savior of the official family at the time, so the official family naturally would not treat him badly. Not only did he grant him a title, he also rewarded ten thousand taels of gold, more than ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as this marquis' mansion.

At the beginning, the official family also wanted to promote this benefactor. He waved his hand and found him many positions, but Nanping Hou was just an A Dou who could not help him!

As a civil servant, I can’t read a big word, but as a military officer, it’s okay to ask him to fight and form a straw troop team. I can’t arrange troops and manage the army properly.

The official was stunned and didn't want to admit that this guy was his savior, but sadly, he was.

In the end, the official family was forced to join him in the imperial guards of his imperial city and made him a small infantry leader. He originally thought that he would be fine under his nose, and at most he would make the commander of the Palace Front Office who is really doing things worry more.

However, Nanping Hou was a vain and philanthropist of a petty citizen. Not only did he not know himself, he often regarded himself as the savior of the official family and did not take anyone seriously. After becoming this little leader, he felt that he was despised. He was dissatisfied with him. He fished for three days and had two days of drying the net. When he was on duty in the palace, he also collided with many officials. The complaints about him were immediately handed over to the official house's desk like snowflakes. The official house was so angry that his head hurt.

Ma Dan would have known that she had died.

Later, one morning court, a censor could not stand it and asked Nanping Hou to criticize and fight on the spot. As soon as Nanping Hou got angry, he actually started fighting with him in the court.

The official family was naturally full of anger, but as the fire started, his heart lit up. He quickly took this opportunity to dismiss him and asked him to go home and calm down for a while with a kind look on his face.

This calmed down and calmed down for more than ten years.

Nanping Hou was very proud and energetic at the beginning, and was suppressed by the cold eyes of the powerful and wealthy people in Xiangyang City and the perfunctory and coldness of the officials again and again. Now he is much more low-key and calm, but the essence of the inside remains unchanged.

And no matter how much he changes, it is useless. The decline of the Hou Mansion has become a fact.

Wei Ziqing seemed to be talking all of a sudden, and couldn't help but continue to fall in love with the pain of the years: "The woman Guo has always disliked us siblings. When I got married, she hadtily done my marriage.

She said that her mother's dowry was used when her father formed a team to resist foreign enemies. Kang Niang said this, so later she only prepared twenty dowry for me, and I thought it was rare..."

Lin Shaoan's face changed suddenly. Wei Ziqing noticed it and immediately gave him a look of inquiry.

Lin Shaoan frowned slightly and said in a complicated face: "I heard from my father and uncle about the dowry. At that time, my uncle was just a gangster in the city and had nothing. My aunt didn't know where she fell in love with him and wanted to marry him if she wanted to marry him. My grandfather and grandmother couldn't resist. I said, "Don't regret it in the future, and prepared a generous dowry for my aunt to marry me."

Fifteen years ago when he was about to form a team to participate in the war, his aunt took out all the dowry and bought him horses, weapons, and food. Although his grandfather and grandmother did not agree, they thought that it was to defend the enemy for the country. His uncle was a little pursuing, so he turned a blind eye. So my father and uncle always knew that his aunt's dowry had long been gone, so..."

He paused, looked at Wei Ziqing with a pale face and sighed: "When my cousin got married, my father and uncle sent someone to add ten dowry to my cousin... And when Ziyi got married, my father and uncle thought that she was marrying the royal family, and that the show was essential. At that time, she added twenty dowry to her..."

Wei Ziqing shook his body slightly, and Lin Shaoan quickly supported her and said annoyedly: "Cousin, is it okay? Sorry, I shouldn't have told you this now."

Wei Ziqing shed tears silently, her eyes were cold and she gritted her teeth and said, "Those bastards! Whether it was me or Ziyi, the dowry list at the time did not mention the uncles' makeup!

Moreover, although Ziyi had sixty dowry when he got married, Kang Niang said in the letter that half of these dowry were betrothal gifts when the princess's mansion was hired.

Although the eldest princess knew about this, she just pretended not to know about the reputation of the eldest princess's mansion, and she also specifically told people not to speak out."

Mo Xiaodie frowned when she heard this. There are probably only one shameless people in the world like Nanpinghou and his wife.

I just took the makeup that my uncle had put on was just what I had made, and I didn’t make up more of it. I took away the makeup that Lin’s mother’s family, and the dowry they put on was pitifully small!

This daughter is so cheap.

No wonder the people in the Princess's Mansion look down on Wei Ziyi so much. Originally, sixty dowries were considered shabby for marrying into the royal family, but thinking that Wei Ziyi was a high-marriage, the people who were eating melons would not say anything. Who knew that even the dowry was pieced together!

When Mo Xiaodie saw Wei Ziqing's appearance, she knew that her heart for the Hou Mansion was completely cold.

If Wei Ziqing still had a glimmer of hope for this Hou Mansion, it was because of the father of Hou, Nanping.

But now that so many things have happened, whether Nanping Hou knew their difficulties or not, it is enough to make Wei Zi feel disappointed.

If he knew, he could only say that he would not take their siblings seriously at all.

If he didn't know, it would be enough to see his indifference to his siblings.

Lin Shaoan frowned and said decisively: "I must go back and tell my father and uncle about this matter. If this continues, Ziyi and Xuan'er will be destroyed!"

Wei Ziqing took the handkerchief handed over by the maid next to him, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "No, my uncle and second uncle have done a lot for us, siblings. I am afraid that my father and Guo will use us to control our uncle and second uncle and ask them to give money to the Marquis' Mansion.

Besides, they are far away in Yuzhou and can't do anything. I told them, just to worry them."
