Chapter 148 The Dowry


"Missy said yes, I will definitely pay attention." Shan Xuemei calmed down a little, but she couldn't figure out what Lu Jieyuan was planning, so she could only look at her while drinking tea. .

"I came in to ask my aunt about the dowry that my mother brought from the Yin family. My aunt also knows that my mother is the daughter of the emperor's teacher. When she married, she was very rich. The dowry is quite rich.

A few days ago, when I was packing my things, I suddenly thought of some dowry from my mother, and thought that my sister had already married into the palace and became a concubine next to the emperor. I am afraid that I will have to marry soon. I will definitely buy some dowry for me. As for the source of these dowry, I am afraid it has something to do with the dowry brought by my mother back then.It is to see if I can get the dowry back from my aunt, and learn how to manage the Fuzhong Zhongfu by myself, so that if I get married, I don’t understand anything, so I have no status in my in-law’s family? "

When Shan Xuemei heard this, she felt as if she was on the verge of a formidable enemy. From the very beginning when she came to this courtyard, she had been inseparable from the word Fuzhong Zhongfei. This is the first time she heard her mention the word dowry. Like her, seeing Lu Jieyuan say this so clearly, how could she not understand?Lu Jieyuan came to her this time to get back the dowry Mrs. Lu brought back when she married into the Lu family.

But it's fine if others don't know, can she still not know?Since she took charge of the Fuzhonghui, Mrs. Lu's dowry has been tightly held in her hands.She was born in a brothel, and although she has seen some good things, she can't make it to the stage. When Madam Lu married Lu Zhenan, she was a red makeup, and the things she brought over were all priceless, not to mention those things How many there are, just take out any one and put it up for auction in the capital, I'm afraid they can buy half of the city.

As greedy as she is, how could she let go of such an opportunity?What's more, for so many years, I don't know about the silver taels that have been withheld from her hands, and those things that were secretly taken from Mrs. Lu's hands. Where did they go like flowing water?

Otherwise, how could she and Lu Feiran dress up beautifully on weekdays?

Now that Lu Jieyuan suddenly came to ask her for the dowry, where would she get it back for him?Others don't know, but she knows very well that only two-thirds of Mrs. Lu's dowry has been kept by her for so many years, and now if she really makes up her mind to send it back to her, She is also unwilling, not to mention that many things are missing in it, how can she pay it back?

"Miss is really joking, what does this lady's dowry have to do with me? But they are all placed in the warehouse one by one, and there is nothing missing. If Miss really wants those dowry At worst, just talk to the master, why did you go to my room and talk to me like this?"

Shan Xuemei pretended to be calm and drank her tea, keeping her eyes on her nose and her heart, but ignored Lu Jieyuan.

"Daddy entrusted this matter to my aunt. Thinking about it, over the years, my aunt has a good idea of ​​the silver and jewelry in the house. As for what my aunt said, there is nothing missing. Who knows except my aunt?

What's more, if I want those dowries, don't I have to move these things from my aunt to my yard in the end?Wouldn't it be disrespectful to my aunt if I didn't tell my aunt first? "

"Furthermore, I don't know if there are any missing items. These items have been under the control of my aunt for so many years. Is there any item missing or lost, or someone secretly spent it?" Well, how can I know this? It all depends on Auntie, Auntie, don’t you think so?”

Lu Jieyuan said pointedly.Then she gently set her eyes on Shan Xuemei's yard, wandering her eyes, and suddenly fixed her eyes on a vase in a corner, staring at it intently.

Shan Xuemei's heart skipped a beat, following her gaze, she panicked.

There is a celadon vase in the corner, the glaze on the celadon is very beautiful, it is an official kiln.Ordinary people can't afford it at all, and this official kiln was built before Ming Dynasty.It can be regarded as an antique for hundreds of years in today's world, and the price is sky-high when it is taken out.

Of course she doesn't have such a good thing, even Lu Zhenan can't get it.

Such antiques were rewarded to the Yin family by the first emperor when he was in power.The old man Yin loved his aunt very much, and felt sorry for her marrying someone who had nothing, so he gave all the antiques and curios that he had collected for most of his life to his aunt, among them was this one.

Back then, when Shan Xuemei got the dowry from Madam Lu, she went to the warehouse impatiently, playing with each one, and finally fell in love with this one in a pile of rare treasures. The vase, although the vase doesn't look big, it has a very delicate appearance, and it looks different from other vases. She immediately decided to bring this vase back to her yard.

The housekeeper is someone close to me, even the housekeeper has a share of the key to the warehouse, and the housekeeper was also by my side at the time, but as long as it is something she decides, who can stop it?

Even though the housekeeper was afraid that Madam Lu would find out about this matter, she had already made up her mind, and finally took this vase to her yard without anyone noticing it.

Even though Lu Zhenan came to her room to look at the vase many times, and now he knew the origin of the vase, but he didn't suspect it, and he didn't say anything in front of her, it was obviously a tacit attitude.

After such a long time, she had already forgotten about this matter. If she hadn't been frightened by Lu Jieyuan's appearance today, she might not be able to remember the origin of this vase, and she immediately panicked in her heart.

But in a blink of an eye, she thought that Mrs. Lu's dowry had already belonged to her. At that time, Lu Jieyuan was only a few years old, so how could she know about Mrs. Lu's dowry?

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back gently on the chair, lazily picked up the cup of tea beside his hand, and tasted it gracefully, "What are you looking at, Miss? That vase is not my sister The dowry that I brought back at the beginning was outside by chance by the master. After I got it, I personally witnessed it to my concubine last time. The vase is very delicate and beautiful, so I put it in the yard. I didn’t expect that the eldest lady would misunderstand it. This vase is one of the dowries my wife brought over..."

"Oh, according to what Auntie said, it means that this vase was given to Auntie by Dad outside, not one of the dowry in Mother's hands. Did Auntie mean that just now?"

Lu Jieyuan stared at Shan Xuemei coldly, with a look of inquiry in her eyes.

Shan Xuemei almost showed her flaws in front of Lu Jieyuan, and then she thought of the things she had just imagined, and she breathed a sigh of relief, showing a smile, pretending that nothing happened, and she didn't know anything.

"Isn't that the case? Could it be that the young miss thought that this vase was the dowry that my sister brought here when she married in? No matter how greedy my sister is, she would never touch her things, let alone the dowry that my sister brought in back then." ?”

Lu Jieyuan glanced at Shan Xuemei coldly, ignored her, got up gently, walked to the corner, picked up the vase, and looked at it carefully.Pretending to be casually touching the bottom of the tire with his hand, as expected, he felt a few words on the bottom, Mingqian official kiln.

Shan Xuemei didn't know what Lu Jieyuan's plan was, but seeing that she was just looking at the vase, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was just curious about the vase and didn't think much about it.

The next second, when she heard what Lu Jieyuan said, her heart was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't get up or down.

"You can find a Mingqian official kiln by going out casually. Dad is really lucky! If I remember correctly, this official kiln is not something that ordinary people can resell. I just don't know what dad said. Where did you get the vase?"
