Mrs. Wang didn't care what Mrs. Luo was thinking. When she heard what Luo Ran said, she happily agreed: "Okay, Ran'er can just say whatever he wants to do! If Mrs. Luo is in trouble, we won't force it. The Shen family will always be okay." It has some uses, just don’t let your children down!”
It was obvious that Luo Ran would make the decision today.
Luo Ran felt warm in her heart and secretly swore: In this life, the Shen family will never be like the previous life.
Mrs. Shen also nodded: "Yes, Ran'er, if you need anything, just say it, grandma is here!"
Luo Ran bowed gratefully to the two relatives, then looked at Mrs. Luo and said: "Grandma, Ran'er just came up with this idea after listening to the second aunt's words. If my granddaughter said something wrong, please forgive me. "
Mrs. Luo lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Tell me."
Luo Ran then spoke: "The second aunt just mentioned the emperor's reward. This is what my granddaughter thinks. For so many years, Ran'er has lived with her father in Jiangnan and doesn't know many things in the capital. But despite this, the marriage has been decided. , Ran'er can only try his best not to lose the face of Luo Chen's family."
"It's just that when I was in Jiangnan, my father thought that I was weak since I was a child, so my grandma took care of everything in the house. Now that I have returned to the capital, Ran'er should learn to be a housekeeper to avoid being laughed at in the future."
Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Luo also felt that what she said was not wrong, but she was worried that there was something wrong in Luo Ran's words, so she didn't speak in a hurry.
Luo Ran continued: "My mother passed away early. Thanks to my grandmother for so many years, my father was able to serve the court with peace of mind outside."
Mrs. Luo felt comfortable hearing these words, and her expression finally softened a little.
Luo Ran added: "Ran'er had a long time of leisure in the south of the Yangtze River, but he never fulfilled his filial piety in front of his grandmother. He also burdened his grandmother with having to take care of her for a long time. Every time he thinks about it, Ran'er can't sleep at night."
Mrs. Luo sighed: "We are all one family, so there is no need to be so polite."
Luo Ran shook his head: "Grandma is getting older now. Although my second aunt is helping me, my granddaughter can't bear to cause any more trouble to her."
"So, Ran'er wants to ask her grandmother to hand over her mother's dowry to Ran'er to take care of. First, it will allow her grandmother to have more leisure time, and second, Ran'er can learn to be a housekeeper."
Mrs. Luo was completely relieved when she saw that this was what she had in mind.
Not to mention that Luo Deyun is now highly regarded by the emperor, even if he is just a minor official, the Luo family will not be known as monopolizing their daughter-in-law's dowry.
"That's what it should be. I originally planned to wait for some time and wait until you're almost rested before mentioning it. Since you thought of it first, I'll let Aunt Du take you with her and take inventory later."
Mrs. Luo happily agreed, and the Shen family happened to be there to bear witness, and she was happy to see it happen.
Luo Ran: "Thank you grandma for your consideration. Also,"
Mrs. Luo frowned: "What else?"
Luo Ran smiled slightly: "There is also my father's side. Last night, my father said that in order to train me, he specially handed over all his private property to me. So, the rewards that the second aunt mentioned just now..."
Mrs. Luo frowned.
There are three bedrooms in the Champion Hou Mansion. The eldest bedroom and the second bedroom are both Mrs. Luo's biological children, and the third bedroom is from a concubine.
The second master, Luo Dewen, was appointed as the imperial eunuch to offer wine sacrifices, and he was promoted to the fourth grade. His annual salary is not enough for him to run the officialdom.
Everyone in the house pointed at Luo Deyun.
Although the ancestral property and Luo Deyun's salary were enough to support the family, the emperor's reward accounted for a large part.
If divided like this, public expenses will definitely be affected.
Madam Luo hesitated.
Wang, who had been silent until now, suddenly said in surprise: "What? Is the private property of the Luo family master also going to be confiscated? The same goes for the second master?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Ruxue looked at her grandmother nervously.
Of course the private property of the second house cannot be confiscated!
What's more, there is no private property for the second wife. Most of the things she wears on weekdays are gifts from her uncle. If Luo Ran wants to go to this part, then she will be laughed to death when she goes out to attend banquets in the future. ?
"I disagree!"
Luo Ruxue finally couldn't help but speak out.
Mrs. Shen raised her eyes and glanced at her lightly.
Mrs. Wang also sneered: "Old madam, when did it become the turn of a little girl to be the head of your house?"
"I-I didn't mean that!"
Luo Ruxue argued with a white face: "I just think that we are a family, and families should not be so clearly distinguished. Wouldn't this hurt the feelings of each other?"
Mrs. Wang laughed: "I really don't know what this means. Why, if your uncle doesn't hand over his private property, it will hurt his feelings. Then Miss Luo Er, please tell me, why is your second wife so emotional?"
Luo Ran lowered his head and snickered: Luo Ruxue doesn't matter if her aunt takes action.
Sure enough, Luo Ruxue ignored her and looked at Mrs. Luo with tears in her eyes.
Luo Ran said softly: "Second sister, you seem to be bullied by my aunt. The elders are talking, and the younger ones should not interrupt. If it were in other people's homes, they would have slapped you. It was grandma who hurt your face by reading it. I can’t bear to blame, I hope you won’t embarrass grandma.”
"I, I didn't..."
Luo Ruxue argued.
Mrs. Wang seemed to have just seen the injury on her face, and said in surprise: "Oh, how did Miss Luo Er get this face? Have you seen an imperial doctor? If there are scars, it will be difficult to get married in the future!"
It's always unpleasant to hear about Luo Ruxue's injury. If the emperor finds out, it won't be a matter of face. How can he dare to hire an imperial doctor?
Mrs. Luo was a little unhappy and glared at Luo Ruxue: "You have nothing to do here, go down!"
No matter how unwilling she was, Luo Ruxue did not dare to disobey her grandmother's words, so she had to go down and discuss it with her mother.
But before Luo Ruxue could move in to reinforce the troops, Luo Deyun came over.
Those who march in the army pay attention to crispness and neatness. After saluting Mrs. Shen, he made the final decision: "Mother, Ran'er is right. In the past, my son was in Jiangnan, and the second younger brother and sister helped manage the big house, and no one could say anything. Now the emperor The decree ordered me to stay in the capital. If it bothers my second younger brother and sister, it won't sound good if the news spreads. Why not take this opportunity to hand it over to Ran'er. As for Ran'er, after she gets married, there will still be a nanny and a steward."
Now that the matter has come to this, Mrs. Luo can no longer insist, so she can only nod in agreement.
The reason why she agreed was that she had been Li's housekeeper for so many years and she could only be her own old lady with peace of mind.
After understanding it, my intestines were filled with regret.
Luo Ran claimed that he was not familiar with the matter and it happened to involve his mother's dowry, so he asked Wang for help.
It was too late for Wang to be happy, so how could she refuse.
Here, after Ms. Li heard the news, she immediately became confused.
Although Mrs. Luo would not have the idea of her daughter-in-law's dowry, she could not resist the fact that the power of the housekeeper was in Li's hands. Looking at the treasures in the house, it would be strange for Li not to be tempted.
Now that he heard that he was going to hand it over, Mrs. Li was busy trying to find ways to remedy the situation, and at the same time, she was trying her best to delay time.
Wang and Luo Ran knew this well and were not in a hurry. They moved chairs and sat in the yard to watch Mrs. Li meeting the manager for a while and then busy with other things. When she couldn't hold off anymore, they reluctantly left. Open the warehouse.
Fortunately, most of the missing items could not be filled by Li's own dowry, but only a small part could not be matched.
In the end, Li had no choice but to pretend to be faint.
Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Li who was being carried away, touched Luo Ran's head and said, "As a human being, you can't just kill everyone. That's enough."
Luo Ran also understood this and nodded: "Ran'er understands. Thank you aunt for today."
After sending away his grandmother and aunt, Luo Ran was about to return to his yard when his grandmother stopped him.
