There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 114

Wu Youwei wanted to laugh when he heard this, asked him for a dowry after the engagement was over?

Is this a bit redundant?

Wending means: According to legend, after Zhou Wenwang Bu Dejizhao Nazheng got engaged, he personally welcomed Taisi to Weibin.Later generations therefore referred to engagement as "Wending".

The words come from the "Da Ya" chapter "Da Ming" in "The Book of Songs": Wen Ding Jue Xiang, personally greeted Yu Wei. "

You're already engaged, and you're just about to get married, so you ask him for a betrothal gift?I can't tell anywhere.

The steward of the Wu residence looked at him eagerly, but Wu Youwei shook his head: "When we get married, I will go back to watch the ceremony.

As for the dowry?

Not at all!

The steward of the Wu Mansion also knew that asking the young master to offer the dowry was purely wishful thinking of the old lady, but there is really no way out!

For the sake of the eldest lady, the master managed everything he could manage, and lost half of his family fortune. Now the mansion even sold a batch of servants, and gave away two from the shop.

If the family hires the eldest young master again, the old man will be emptied. After the wedding banquet is settled, and if we arrange it again, the family will really... have no money.

The old lady had no choice but to think that the bastard had given away a lot of money when the family was separated, and now she regretted it and wanted to go back.

The master said no, and the points were all divided.

But it's not that the old lady can't swallow this... She doesn't want the second room's things, because the second room is orphaned and widowed, she thinks it's bad luck, and she doesn't want to use the bad luck money to hold a wedding for the eldest grandson.

Before leaving, he repeated the old story and wanted to redeem his youngest son and eldest granddaughter, but Wu Youwei still didn't agree.

I had no choice but to go back in despair.

Wu Youwei felt bored, as if something was about to happen, listening to the rumbling thunder outside, the lightning flashing across the sky, and the rain pouring down.

Annoyed, Wu Youwei approached Butler Lin Su to talk about the matter: "Help me analyze it, what's going on? That family actually did such a thing."

"It's probably that mansion.... has run out of money." Lin Su is worthy of being the housekeeper from the mansion, so she guessed it right away: "The eldest lady enters the palace, but the road is paved with silver; the eldest and young master get married, maybe It is also because of the young lady's relationship that the engagement was so quick and the marriage was so hasty, probably to make way for the young lady.

"Could it be that they went to search the second house?" Wu Youwei frowned: "There are still two such young children at the widow's sister-in-law!"

"No." Butler Lin Su shook his head: "The old lady in the mansion will definitely not go to the second room to search."

"Why?" Wu Youwei was worried.

"Because the second wife is a widow." Butler Lin Su hit him right away: "She must think it's unlucky."

Wu Youwei choked: ...So I don't feel bad luck? "

Butler Lin Su nodded his head, Wu Youwei is so angry! !

Is it bad luck for him to co-author?

I was so angry that I ate an extra bowl of overwater noodles at night. The eggs were marinated. I couldn't bear it. I walked around the yard with a bulging stomach to digest food. I was bitten by mosquitoes twice, and I became even more angry!

I was depressed all night, underestimated that he was unhappy, so I said to him: "Don't be unhappy, master, it is inevitable for the eldest and young master to get married, he must get married, right?

"That's right." Wu Youwei patted his little head: "You are not young anymore, when the house at the foot of the mountain is built, I will share it with you, and I will give you your registration, and you will see a good wife in a few years.

"Listen to the master, don't be angry." Xiao Xiao got up and stretched his waist: "Xiao Xiao is going to sleep, you should also rest, get up early tomorrow for breakfast, and cool off."

Wu Youwei lay on the kang and rolled around hugging Mrs. Zhu. It wasn't the first time that the Wu family had bullied others too much. He didn't believe that he couldn't resist!

The nephew got married, and as the only surviving uncle, Wu Youwei couldn't really refuse to go, so people wouldn't talk about Wu's mansion, they would talk about him.

If it sounds good, it's unkind, but if it sounds bad, it's really possible to spread anything.

So Wu Youwei knew from the very beginning that he couldn't avoid it.

Butler Lin Su was called the next day.

Butler Lin Su saw that the master was so angry and listless yesterday, no matter what he said, he had to wait for two days. Who knew that Wu Youwei would be full of energy the next day.

"Butler Lin, this life is so fucking like a strong woman. If you can't resist, you can only bear it. I don't want to bear it for your master, I just want to enjoy it." Wu Youwei came to the theory of later generations in high spirits.

Butler Lin Su's mouth twitched: "Master, just tell me your nonsense, don't talk to outsiders.

These words have affected the image of the master too much.

"I'll just talk to you for a while." Wu Youwei knew it in his heart, and he couldn't be too out of line: "However, Steward Lin, my servant Wu Youwei is not a soft persimmon, they can squeeze it if they want, since they want me to come out Some blood, then I will come out!"

"Master, what do you want to do?" Lin Butler was a little terrified.

When he first took over the warehouse, the master said with a smile that the money is the blood of the family and cannot be lost, so his money is divided into three parts, and the daily use belongs to the housekeeper; with.

The Wu Mansion wants money and things, but isn't it letting the master's blood go?

The master is not calming down, he is angry, he is very angry!

"Go, count all the cars in our family, how many are there?" In fact, Wu Youwei's own property is not very clear.

"How much do you want?" Lin Butler asked.

"The more the better." Wu Youwei was very angry.

"Should we count the ox carts in Wujia Village?" That's a lot, more than a dozen. "Count it up!" Wu Youwei said: "Three days of driving, one tael per person." One tael of silver is equivalent to 1000 yuan, and it is only three days of driving.

"Okay." Although it is said that it is the busy farming season, if there is one tael of silver to take, it is better to delay for three days.Butler Lin went to arrange it.

Wu Youwei went to Xiaoxiao's again to see how much money he had.

The silver in Xiaoxiao’s hands is silver ingots ranging from one tael to five taels, one of which is 800 taels; butler Lin has a whole box of silver ingots in the coffers, each of which is five taels, totaling 5000 taels.But Wu Youwei has more in his space. He has 3000 taels of gold and 5000 taels of silver in his space. These are all cash in exchange for bank notes.Because he always felt that the ancient money houses... had confidence.

There is no state-owned bank to save money these days, it is all private, and it will be broken up if it is said.So as soon as he got the banknote, he wanted to exchange it for cash...

It's just that the 500 taels of bank notes of Jixiang cloth village that I got a few days ago have not been exchanged for cash yet.He took it out, squeezed it in his hand, and sneered.

The next day, Wu Youwei took 24 ox carts and two horse-drawn carriages to the capital.With so many cars dispatched together, how can it not alarm people?

It's just that this is the capital city, and there are countless caravans that come and go every day, but there are only a few caravans led by Master Juren.Generally, people with fame and fame are not allowed to do business. Once they do business, hehe, fame and fame will be lost.

Every entry into the city was subject to inspection. Wu Youwei lined up. When it was his turn, he was just about to speak when there was a sound of hoofbeats, and someone came from behind.Or the kind of horseback riding.

"Why are you here?" As soon as the visitor opened his mouth, Wu Youwei knew who it was.Jinyiwei Qianhu, Wantong, Wan Zhongming, Master Wan!

"No way, my nephew wants to get married, so I want a dowry from me!" Wu Youwei spread his hands and said loudly, "I'm buying him a dowry!" "Your elder brother is still alive, what do you want from me?" A betrothal gift?" Wantong is indeed Jin Yiwei, worthy of being Lord Qianhu, who speaks dirty words.

"The housekeeper of the Wu residence came to ask me for something, and I didn't have much money, so I fiddled with all my possessions to make up for him." Wu Youwei said helplessly, "Who made him my eldest nephew?" There are a lot of people at the gate of the capital every day, and there are also many people with long tongues. Even Jin Yiwei can't let them stop talking.

Especially when it's obviously not something for a noble family.

And seeing that this is a master who is being bullied, hey, this is a big deal!

Several gossip women came over, and the ears grew so long that they almost caught up with the donkey's ears.

"Then you will go bankrupt?" Wantong thinks this little man is not so pedantic.

"It's better than being called unkind by my aunt." Wu Youwei pretended to bow his head and said sadly: "I even brought the money for my writing.

He raised his head and his eyes were a little red: "For...that matter at home, my brother ran up and down to manage, and spent about half of the family's fortune, and the elder nephew's betrothal gift is another sum of money, and my mother has already given it to me. I had a message, I was asked to buy a congratulatory gift. I thought maybe it was because I wanted to give all the money from the family division to my nephew to buy a congratulatory gift...

He said what Lin Butler guessed and what he guessed himself, and he was very aggrieved and helpless. Immediately, people who are good at brainstorming consciously guessed that it was almost inseparable.

Because Wu Youwei said "di mother" and "di elder brother", everyone who heard it knew that he was a concubine who had separated his family.

However, Wu Youwei used uncertain words such as "probably", "possibly" and "maybe", and no one can say that he is wrong.

The grievances of the big family!

There are many gossip women queuing up to enter the city, and there are some gossip men too, all of them are busy making up their minds...

Wantong narrowed his eyes, he could see that this guy did it on purpose!

The corners of the mouth were slightly raised, and the face remained unchanged: "Come here."

"Here!" The city gate officials who guarded the city were frightened, okay?

I didn't expect this little Juren to know Mr. Qianhu!

"Have you finished the inspection?" Wantong asked him.

Usually, Vantone never intervenes with privileges.

"The inspection is over, the inspection is over!" The city gate officer wiped his sweat and led Wu Youwei back, and stepped aside: "Let go!"

The convoy moved forward slowly under the leadership of the carriage in which Steward Lin was sitting.

Wantong originally had his own special passage, which was a special city gate, but he didn't go, but took the civilian road, and everyone gave way to him and the team behind him.

He was not in a hurry to leave, but greeted Wu Youwei: "Let's go together!"

With Jin Yiwei at his side, anyone who doesn't follow is a fool.

Wu Youwei rides a car, Wantong rides a horse, and they walk side by side.

There is no emergency in the capital, even Jin Yiwei can't run wildly, and will be impeached by the censor who has been watching them.

"Going out on business today?" Wu Youwei opened the door curtain of the car, and sat on the side chatting with Wantong while walking.

Wantong's riding skills are very good, and the horses are also spiritual, and they are not surprised when they walk next to the carriage.

"Well, I went out and caught someone." Wantong was riding on the horse and walking beside the car, very naturally.

"I'm here for shopping, to Jixiang cloth village." Wu Youwei looked up at Wantong who was riding on the horse.

This was the first time he saw Jin Yiwei's clothes up close.

Wantong is wearing a flying fish suit this time, with an embroidered spring knife, a hat on his head, and his eyes are like cold stars, even under the scorching sun.

The flying fish suit on his body is a robe with the complementary color of flying fish. Flying fish is not the kind of sea fish we are talking about now, but a fictional image that resembles a dragon head, fish body, and wings.

Wantong's flying fish suit is a green weaving golden makeup flower flying fish over-the-shoulder suit.

Cyan is a neutral color, but cyan comes from blue, and blue is a cool color. The clothes Vantone wears are a bit cold, but they are very refreshing in the midsummer sun.

Wu Youwei is someone who has read "Da Gao" and also read many relevant court regulations.

Among them is the "Da Zheng Ji" which records that after Yongle, eunuchs around the emperor must wear python clothes, made like dragging, embroidered pythons on the left and right, and tied with luan belts, which is also the uniform of Yan Xian.The second is flying fish, which is only used as a servant.

At the same time, he still remembered that there was a record in "Yufu Zhi" in "History of the Ming Dynasty": in the second year of Tianshun, the clothes of officials and people were not allowed to use python dragons, 'flying fish, bullfighting, Dapeng, four treasures like a lion, big passion flower, Big cloud pattern, and dark yellow, purple and black, black, green, willow yellow, turmeric, bright yellow and other colors.

When I was a fan of the movie "Jinyiwei", I specially checked it out. Now that I think about it, he was really boring at that time.
