Seeing that nothing happened, Mo Jiuye felt relieved.
He told the purpose of his coming here.
"Brother Meng, I came here to ask you something."
"Brother Ninth, if you need anything, just ask." Meng Huaining had already treated Mo Jiuye as one of his family members.
Especially after he got engaged to Mo Hanyue, he felt even closer to his uncles.
"I heard that the ninth prince in the capital colluded with the southern Xinjiang Gu Master and framed several important ministers."
Meng Huaining was surprised that Mo Jiuye knew about this.
According to his understanding of the Moh family, they had lost confidence in the imperial court and did not even want to care at all.
"How did Ninth Brother know about this?" Meng Huaining didn't want to find out anything from Mo Jiuye, he just asked simply.
The fact that her mother-in-law came to the northwest to accompany Ran Ran while she was giving birth could not be a secret to Meng Huaining, who was about to marry Mo Hanyue. Therefore, Mo Jiuye did not intend to hide it.
"My mother-in-law came from the capital a few days ago and mentioned this matter."
"So that's it." Meng Huaining looked outside the door, and when he saw no one was approaching, he whispered: "I just received the news the day before yesterday. It is indeed as Brother Ninth said, several important officials in the court have been poisoned. .”
"I heard that Emperor Shunwu has started to send people to find experts in removing poison. I wonder if there is any progress on this matter?" This is the question that Mo Jiuye is most concerned about.
My mother-in-law came from the capital and learned about the situation at least twenty days ago. No one can tell what is going on now.
He knew that messages were passed between Meng Huaining and Fei Nanyu by flying pigeons. Although the speed of the carrier pigeons was not as fast as that of his novice, it still took three or four days to arrive.
In other words, what Meng Huaining received was the news within the last five or six days. It can be seen that Emperor Shunwu has not yet found an expert in removing poison.
Mo Jiuye came out this time to tell her family that she was helping Mo Hanyue purchase a dowry, so it was still a little early to go back.
He simply went to the city for a walk and didn't drive his carriage back until the afternoon.
After dinner, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran handed over the dowry that had been put into a delicate wooden box to Mo Hanyue.
"Hanyue, this is the dowry my family has prepared for you. See if you like it." He Zhiran pushed the small wooden box in front of Mo Hanyue.
Mo Hanyue felt a little guilty when she saw that the courtyard given by her family still had land.
Today's Mo family is different from when they were in the capital. She participates in work every day and can understand that it is not easy for her family to make money.
For her marriage, everyone in the family contributed money to build a courtyard house for her as a dowry. Even the furnishings and bedding inside were the best.
This standard is no worse than those of noble families in the capital, but is of a higher quality.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, this is absolutely impossible. You have already given me enough. I can't ask for any more."
These are Mo Hanyue's words from the bottom of her heart. She doesn't want her family to spend more for her.
With that said, she pushed the small wooden box back in front of He Zhiran.
"Sister-in-law Ninth, I really can't accept these. I'll keep them for my little nephews to find wives for."
These words made He Zhiran laugh: "How do you know that he is a nephew and not a niece?"
"It doesn't matter if it's my niece, I'll keep these for their future dowry." In Mo Hanyue's heart, no matter what happens to Sister-in-law Ninth, she will like it.
At this time, Mrs. Mo also spoke.
"Hanyue has such a big yard for her dowry, which is decent enough. It's better not to give her this jewelry."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Mo also felt a little guilty.
When she first married Mo Qing, she also brought a lot of dowry.
It's a pity that the men of the Mo family have been away fighting all year round, and all the property they received has been used to support the wounded and wounded soldiers and their families. Not only is the house empty, but it doesn't look like it has the deep foundation in the eyes of outsiders.
Later, when the men of the Mo family returned news of their deaths in the war, Mrs. Mo didn't want her widowed daughters-in-law to have a hard time, so she successively added her dowry to the public account.
The sisters-in-law were sensible, and when they saw that their mother-in-law had given up all their dowries to make their lives better, they were not to be outdone and subsidized their dowries to their families one after another.
At that time, Mo Jiuye was away fighting all year round and did not know the situation at home, so he gave all the spoils he got to the soldiers who had gone through life and death together.
As a result, He Zhiran was ransacked and exiled from the Mo family in order to move things to the space, but he did not move any valuable items.
These are also the reasons why Mrs. Mo feels guilty.
When her daughter gets married, she, the mother, is supposed to be responsible for preparing the dowry for her.
But let alone the dowry now, if the ninth daughter-in-law hadn't been taking care of it, the whole family might not even have enough to eat.
Now the ninth daughter-in-law has prepared a box of jewelry for her daughter. How can this make her, a mother, embarrassed?
"Originally, these are things that I, the mother, should prepare, but now that I don't have the ability, I can't bear to ask you, the sister-in-law, to do these things."
Seeing this, the sisters-in-law also came closer. They only agreed half of what the mother-in-law said.
In the past, when He Zhiran didn't come to the door, the sisters-in-law always took the elder sister-in-law's words seriously, but this time it was the elder sister-in-law who spoke first.
"Hanyue is the only daughter of our Mo family. Not only does she want to be married in style, but she also cannot be treated badly in terms of dowry.
Since the ninth brother and sister are willing to help Hanyue buy jewelry, why not all of us contribute the money together.
In this way, we sisters-in-law can feel more comfortable. "
When the second sister-in-law saw this, she also stepped forward to help: "Ninth brother and sister, just listen to my sister-in-law. I am also willing to contribute a share of the silver for the jewelry."
"I'm also willing to pay."
"I would also like to..."
Without exception, the eight sisters-in-law expressed their willingness to share the burden, and their tone was very sincere, without any hint of reluctance.
There are nine sisters-in-law in the family. Although they don't have a lot of money in their hands, they sincerely want to help He Zhiran share the burden.
The harmony of the Mo family is what He Zhiran likes most. Regardless of the number of sisters-in-law, everyone always works hard for the same goal, and no one will ever disagree with everyone because of some small thoughts.
She knew that what her sisters-in-law said was true, but she didn't want them to bear the burden together.
These jewelry were purchased on Taobao Mall, which is just a drop in the bucket for the wealthy He Zhiran.
If the value of the jewelry were converted into silver taels of this era, it would be worth at least several thousand taels.
She does pay her sisters-in-law their due wages on time every month, and the amount is not small, but it is only some money compared to the income of people in the northwest. If she wants to share the money for these jewelry, even her sister-in-law I'm afraid they won't be able to get it out even if they lose everything.
Of course, only He Zhiran knew the value of the jewelry, and she couldn't let her sisters-in-law share it.
"I understand what the sisters-in-law mean, but don't forget, I am the head of the Mo family now, and all the income, except the monthly wages allocated to you, is mine."
