In front of the eunuch in charge of the warehouse, the nanny said nothing.
All the way back to the West Cross Courtyard, there was no one else around.
The nanny choked in a low voice and said: "Gege... Those furniture are all refurbished. They are the master's dowry and re-oiled... The coral and white jade in the jewelry are also old items... There are many new gold jewelry, but there are not many sets of solid ones. They are either hollow or filigree, they are light and look good... And the clothes are made of silk, silk, satin and silk brocade, and there is not a single piece of valuable Shu brocade, gold damask, soft Luoyan, pomegranate damask... a few The box of large fur clothes is only made of mink fur. The mink fur was given by the palace during the first wedding ceremony. It must have been made and brought back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is no other one. There is only a box of ermine fur clothes. , the rest are all chinchilla skins... Isn't this bullying? It's the chinchilla skins that Princess wears at home every day..."
"It's really old, right?"
Guo Luoluoge really couldn't believe that his uncle and aunt, who had always regarded him as his own daughter, would fool him about the dowry.
The nanny was originally a royal servant and a dowry from Guo Luoluo's biological mother. Naturally, she had seen these old things and sobbed: "I'm not mistaken anymore. The yellow flower pear with water is engraved with longevity grass... It just suits the master's taste." The name was prepared by the old master long ago..."
Guo Luoluoge had always been arrogant and could not bear this grievance. He immediately went to the study room in the front yard to find the head of the family, Prince Anjun, Malhun.
"Uncle, what happened to my dowry? I didn't mean to find furniture made by Jiangnan craftsmen, but how come it was replaced by my Enie's old things?"
Guo Luoluo stared and asked aggrievedly.
Malhun only had a son but no daughter. In his early years, he loved Guo Luoluo's niece for the sake of the old prince. As time went by, he got used to doting on her, and he developed a sincere love for her.
With the eighth prince as the prince's son-in-law, Malhun had already prepared a decent dowry for his niece, which was no worse than Da Fujin and the Crown Princess. But who knew that Tai Fujin would be exchanged for it? He kept it secret until after the wedding ceremony, when he asked someone to open the warehouse to draw up the dowry list.
Clothes and jewelry can be repaired privately, but there is really no time to purchase other furniture and furnishings, so I can only misappropriate my sister's dowry.
"Your aunt was confused and confused your dowry with your aunt's... There was no time to rearrange the furniture and furnishings, but now this set of family heirlooms is decent. Don't worry, my uncle is reluctant to make you feel wronged. In addition to the two rooms he prepared before, The house, two shops, a farmhouse, and ten hectares of land have also been entrusted with the purchase of additional properties. When the time comes, the marital property will be doubled, and the money will be abundant, which is more decent than buying these dead objects..."
Only then did Guo Luoluoge burst into laughter.
She is not a fool. She naturally knows who in this house really loves her. Her aunt may only be superficial, but her uncle's love is not fake.
You know, the majority of the dowry is the property.
Among the married princes Fu Jin, except for Da Fujin and the Crown Princess, who had more than a dozen marriage properties, the others only had six or seven properties. Doubling his marriage property is no worse than Da Fujin and the Crown Princess, and even more. Don't talk about that Dong E family.

In Dutong Mansion, Mrs. Jueluo and her uncle's sister-in-law got together and were also drawing up a dowry list.
Shu Shu was nearby, but she frowned when she heard it. Is it too much?
If the ten hectares of land in Tongzhou were not replaced, how could there still be Zhuangzi?
The small village in Haidian has 450 acres, which is the dowry of Mrs. Bo.
There are four shops, two for Jueluo's private property, one for Mrs. Bo's dowry, and one for Shu Shu's new silver building.
There are four sets in the house, three with three entrances and one with two entrances. One of the three entrances was given by my uncle, one was given by my uncle from Gongfutang, the remaining three are from Fuzhong Gongzhong, and the other two are from Gongzhong. The one that entered was a gift from the elders of the second room, which was the Dong E clan of Prince Yu’s mother-in-law.
So much for real estate!
Even if she wanted financial freedom, Shu Shu didn't want to shamelessly raid her parents' home.
You must know that your cousin will get married soon, and her five brothers will also get married in a few years. When the time comes to make up for the marriage and work, money will be needed everywhere. How can she have the nerve to take the majority?
The Dong E family has been passed down for a long time, but this is not the same family as the clan leader. The inherited ancestral property is limited. In addition, the grandfather has always been a bodyguard and has not been looking for vacancies outside. It can be said that he is sitting on nothing.
That is to say, Mrs. Bo's dowry was generous and Luo's management was sound, so the two houses were not in financial embarrassment.
Shu Shu earnestly persuaded: "Ah Mou, E Ni, don't use so much... How can I have the nerve to see my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law after we have emptied the house... Wouldn't that make me the most annoying sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Bo snorted softly: "My aunt, is this a heretic? You can accept Eni's things, but you can't accept Amou's?"
"You are not a heretic. Didn't you already get several boxes of jewelry? There are also several boxes of fur materials. If you take advantage of this, my cousin will suffer a loss. Don't feel bad, Ah Mu..."
Shu Shu hurriedly took Mrs. Bo's arm and acted coquettishly: "Let's secretly benefit from it, and we don't have to put it all on the face..."
The eldest son has an only son, Xi Zhu, but he is a concubine. In the past two years, the uncle had made the decision to marry his wife's niece, Shuncheng, who was a concubine in the palace.
Da Gege is sixteen this year, and their wedding date has been set for a long time, and they will get married this month.
Mrs. Bo patted Shu Shu on the arm: "That's a niece over there, but you're not a niece? Little white-eyed wolf, I've been carrying you for a few years in vain... The dowry is your face. You don't have to be shy at this time, you should show off when it's time." Zhang Yang, otherwise you will be looked down upon, and you will be angry in vain..."
The two ladies talked and laughed, and finally decided on what the two elders wanted.
Shu Shu really didn't dare to say anything else, otherwise she would make Mrs. Bo sad, so she hugged Mrs. Bo's arm and whispered: "When the ninth elder brother opens the house in the future, and Amu is depressed at home, we will go to Haidian Zhuangzi Waiting for you..."
Shu Shu has decided that when the tea business starts, she will spend money to build a separate courtyard in the village given to her by Madam Bo.
The uncle's health is weak, which is not a sign of longevity. Now he is also a man who looks forward to the fifth year of life. When the time comes, the concubine will be the one who takes charge of the family. Even if the concubine's daughter-in-law serving next to the uncle in the future is a niece, it may not be all that goes well.
Mrs. Bo couldn't help laughing and patted Shu Shu's hand: "I'll pretend to be honest for two years. When I give birth to little brother and little princess, no one else can find fault with me as a daughter-in-law, a wife, or a mother. Then I can think about it again." Relaxed and happy days..."
Have a baby?
Shu Shu couldn't help but think about it. She was close to Chun Tai by blood, but was she far away from Brother Jiu?
After returning to his yard, Shu Shu picked up a pen and paper and calculated the overlapping bloodlines of himself, Chun Tai, and Jiu Age.
Let's start with Shu Shu's great-grandfather He Shuotu, who was the eldest daughter of Taizu and a quarter of Taizu's blood.
Heshuitu married Daishan's daughter (granddaughter of Taizu) and gave birth to a grandfather who was one-quarter of Taizu's blood.
My grandfather married the granddaughter of Daishan (the great-granddaughter of Taizu) and gave birth to a father who has three-sixteenths of the blood of Taizu.
My father married the great-granddaughter of Taizu's nephew Amin and gave birth to him. What is his Taizu bloodline?
Four-thirty-two, one-eighth!
Cousin Chun Tai is the great-great-grandson of Taizu. On his father’s side, he inherits one-sixteenth of Taizu’s blood. His mother, Dong E Fujin, like Shu Shu’s father, also has three-sixteenths of Taizu’s blood. Chun Tai is the third Five out of twelve.
Judging from Dong E's family, Chun Tai's maternal grandfather is Shu Shu's grandfather, and both of them have a quarter of the same blood.
Adding up the bloodlines of the two surnames, the overlap between the two is three-eighths, which is not much less than the overlap between half-brothers or half-brothers.
The ninth elder brother is also the great-great-grandson of Taizu, one-sixteenth of Taizu's bloodline.
Compared with Shu Shu's one-eighth, the overlap between the two is one-sixteenth.
What modern society prohibits are collateral and direct blood relatives within three generations, which is a quarter of the blood overlap.
One sixteenth, the blood relationship should not be considered close!
The law doesn’t stop it!
As for the tea business, Shu Shu picked up the plan next to her with a look of frustration on her face.
She had already made a plan, but when she discussed this with the two elders, both of them refused without hesitation.
Mrs. Bo lectured: "As long as you have enough money, it's just right for the family to be like this now... Anything more will irritate you, but it will be a disaster... You have always been generous, why are you so arrogant now? Just a dowry is enough to provide you with food and clothing. Prince Fujin's status, It's your confidence to support your mother's family, but if you can't use it to make money, then the gain outweighs the loss..."
Mr. Jueluo is not opposed to this business, but he also thinks that it is not appropriate for his family to get involved: "Even if you are a relative, you are afraid that it will involve the economy... From now on, you have to plan your own life, husband, children, and parents-in-law, instead of worrying about it all the time. On the other side of the family...Who knows if Concubine Yi will remember the previous lawsuit with Guo Luoluo's family. Keep this in your hands. If Concubine Yi treats you well later, you can use it to partner with Wufujin... If so Concubine Yi treats you like a normal person, so you can keep Shi Fujin to partner with Shi Fujin in the future. We don’t have to be friends with everyone, but there must always be one or two close friends..."
Shu Shu had no choice but to make up her mind to wait until her younger brothers got married to supplement the money.
As for my cousin, the wedding is just around the corner. As an unmarried person, I can't afford to give him lavish gifts. I just have to prepare them for his children when they are born.

In a blink of an eye, it was April 30th, Shu Shu's cousin Xizhu got married, and the uncle's house held a banquet to entertain guests, relatives and friends.
The uncle's mansion is on the east side of Dutong mansion, and the two mansions are adjacent to each other.
However, compared with the prosperous population of Dutong Mansion, the same two-span and five-entry mansion here has only three masters, making it much deserted.
The wedding tent was set up the day before yesterday. Today is the official day, and the main banquet will be set up at the end of the day.
According to ancient rituals, the wedding should have taken place at night, but due to the curfew, the wedding from the previous dynasty was changed to daytime.
The bride's dowry was delivered yesterday and laid out in the new house. Now the bride's aunt is watching over the house.
There are actually two types of eldest daughter. One is the eldest daughter who has a title and salary. She is the legitimate daughter and concubine of a clan with a title of Duke or above. She is knighted according to her father's rank. The dowry is also purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The rest The clan daughters are all non-titled clan daughters, and they have to provide their own dowry.
Although the bride belongs to the prince's palace, she is a concubine, so she has not been ennobled. However, she is the eldest daughter of the county prince, and the dowry prepared by the prince's palace is quite generous.
Shu Shu also had an idea of what a luxurious marriage was.
Ninety-six dowries, except for the first Ruyi, which is symbolic, are divided into several categories. Real estate such as real estate, land, and shops are not as many as Shushu's. There are only six or seven properties, and the income is enough to make a private house. Generous.
Furniture ranges from large wardrobes, tables, desks, boxes, to small boxes and tumblers, covering all the furniture in the living room and bedroom.
Then there are the furnishings, which range from expensive antique ornaments to ordinary fruit plates and tea cans.
There are also cosmetics and daily necessities, toiletries, cosmetics, bedding, and various door curtains.
Then there are clothes for all seasons, shoes, socks, and other clothing, and the rest is gold and silver jewelry.
There is also a population, four women and two households.
Naturally, relatives and friends of the Dong E clan came to help early in the morning, and before the sedan chair team was about to set off, the guests also arrived one after another.
Shu Shu, the sister-in-law, stayed at the uncle's house last night. She has a special courtyard here. She also has the task of entertaining guests today. She is responsible for entertaining the rich ladies among the guests, but unexpectedly an uninvited guest came...
