5. Dowry

"Miss II, this is the makeup that the elder lady gave you." Mu Mingtang opened it and looked at it as a box of jewelry. It was only made of gold, and it was mostly sent to her by Miss Jiang, who disliked the golden and white things.


Mu Mingtang immediately buckled the lid tightly and held it in his hand. She didn't plan to let go. "Miss. You're welcome. Although she is older than me, I am her sister-in-law after all. I'm still older than her. All of them are family members. What are you doing so politely?"


However, Mu Mingtang's hand was tightly clutching the wooden box. He was quite imposing when he walked relatives in the New Year and faced the new year's money red envelopes from the other party.


Obviously, the maid was speechless. In fact, not long ago, this maidservant was serving behind Mu Mingtang.


Mu Mingtang completely packed into Jiang Mingwei's house, and the people around him were all Jiang Mingwei's old servants. It is conceivable that this group of maids pointed at Mu Mingtang more critically than Mrs. Jiang. Now that Jiang Mingwei is back, these maids can be regarded as returning to their real masters.


Mu Mingtang is now face-to-face with the maidservant. The maid disliked Mu Mingtang for not getting on the table, so the cheesy golden hairpin like Mu Mingtang, who had never seen the world before.


Mu Mingtang also felt that Jiang Mingwei had a problem with his eyes. Those high-grade jade stones can be used during the heyday. What happened to them, can jade be sold?


It's still pretty gold. Look at how beautiful this golden color is.


The maid rolled her eyes secretly and said with a straight face, "Miss II is polite. Now the wife is setting up a dowry for the lady. The lady is going to marry the princess Jin. The facade must not show timidity. These hairpins do not conform to the identity of the palace of Jin. The young lady couldn't use it, thinking that the second lady should be able to use it here."


"Yes, I can use it." Mu Mingtang had already put away the box and said, "My sister-in-law has nothing to give back to the big one. Miss, then I wish Miss Hundred and King Jin a hundred years of good luck and no separation of life. Well, you can go."


The majesty was knotted. This woman fell to this point. She would not accept the Jiang family's help if she had some guts. I didn't expect Mu Mingtang to put it away without saying anything. She had no skin and no face, so she could not hear her sarcasm. The girl was so angry with this vulgar woman that she flung her sleeves away.


Mu Mingtang now completely tears his face with the Jiang family, so that he no longer cares about the image and temperament. She doesn't have such a thing at all. Although she pointed at her nose during the day and scolded Jiang Honghao, but Jiang Mingwei sent her money, why not?


Mu Mingtang does not need guts, she only needs money.


After the maid left, Mu Mingtang's voice stood up and replaced the box of gold jewelry with a hidden place. Today, she was placed in a guest room. In the eyes of the Jiang family, she was completely out of favor and fell on the frontier. However, for Mu Mingtang, the days are now much happier than in the previous year.


The year before last, she was like a puppet, she was not allowed to walk in large steps, and she was not allowed to laugh loudly. She had to take a small bite even when eating, and chewed in her mouth before swallowing. And what she did casually, the lady-in-law behind her pointed and said that she had a decent reputation as a lady who was not famous.


Mu Mingtang is really fed up with these birds. Now she lives in a quiet and quiet room, there is no unscrupulous maid beside her, she walks without a ruler staring at the back, and no one cares about her except for three meals a day. It's so good. Jiang Mingwei's days of famous ladies, whoever loves and who passed by.


Mu Mingtang got a box of gold jewelry in white, and he was so refreshed that even the anger he received at the Jiang family disappeared today. If someone insults her with gold every day, then you don't have to be polite, you can trample on her dignity.


Mu Mingtang dreamed for a while and suddenly realized something. Today Jiang Mingwei gave her a wake-up call. Tomorrow she had to remind the Jiang family to prepare a dowry for her.


Jiang Honghao bought her a good price. If you still want to be upset, that won't work.


The next day, Mrs. Jiang sent Jiang Honghao up, and then happily summoned the tailor who said yesterday to come in and choose clothes for Jiang Mingwei.


Jiang Mingwei doesn't like gorgeous colors, but she must wear a big red wedding, and she is to be a princess. There are many occasions when you need to use Zhenghong's clothes to press the court. Today, Mrs. Jiang told the ready-to-wear workshop and gave Jiang Mingwei the right clothes for the occasion of big marriage, bowing to her in-laws, seeing her aunt, greetings, and offering sacrifices.


Several wives with their hair tightened around Mrs. Jiang, showing flowers to Mrs. Jiang like flowers in her mouth. The female shopkeeper shook the fabric and showed Mrs. Jiang the luster from all angles. "Mrs. Look, this material is the most expensive. Not only the color is correct, but also the dark lines are woven. You see, this looks like a happy blessing. It became a reduced word pattern." After the female shopkeeper showed it, Mrs. Jiang made a cry of surprise. The other person was unwilling to show his weakness, and quickly pulled his own material. "The dark lines are indeed low-key and luxurious, but they are far away, but they can't see clearly. Mrs. Jiang, you may wish to look at our house. This cloth uses three layers of weaving. During the day Walking under the sun, the light on the cloth looks like it will flow. At night, it looks like a color!"


"There is such a skill!" Mrs. Jiang sighed heartily. She took the two steps in her hand and compared them from side to side. But he couldn't make up his mind, "Dark pattern Geely, the streamer looks good, how to choose this?"


"Mrs. can't make up your mind, just buy it."


Mrs. Jiang stared, raising her head. The maid tried to stand in front of Mu Mingtang, saw Mrs. Jiang raised her head, and bowed helplessly. "Ma'am, the slave can't stop the second lady." The mammoth also felt very wrong. She said that her wife was not available. Tang seemed to be unable to understand the scene, regardless of going in. Xiu Cai met the soldiers, and it was unclear why a few maidservants were used to walking in high-level households. I have never seen such a rough man. They chased the road and said that Mu Mingtang was still inside.


Mrs. Jiang could guess what happened when she looked at the expressions of the girls. She waved her hand and said, "It's all about you, let's go." The majesty saluted again, and Yu Guan retreated. Mu Mingtang didn't seem to see his eyes at all. He walked forward and touched the fabric. "It turned out to be a good material. It felt like flowing water. I think both are beautiful. Why should my mother choose a sample? , Buy them all."


Mrs. Jiang was in embarrassment, and several female shopkeepers next to each other looked at each other, smiling and saluting "Miss 2."


These women are specializing in the business of official women and wives, and the interpersonal relationships of these high-ranking households are naturally clear.


"You ladies don't need to be polite, get up." Mu Mingtang didn't feel restrained at all. After calling everyone up generously, he said with a smile, "My elder sister and I are going to get married recently. Run errands for us."


Us? Mrs. Jiang frowned subtly, but in front of the outsider, she coughed indistinctly, reminding "Ming Tang, today you are looking at your sister's dowry. You are not in a hurry."


"Aren't you in a hurry?" Mu Ming Tang rubbed his fingers on the fabric reluctantly a few times before letting go, saying, "I was accused of being married to King Qiyang. King Qiyang and King Jin are both royalty or cousins. I thought my sister's dowry was Equivalent."


Equivalent? What is she saying! This time, Mrs. Jiang was also anxious. She said softly, "You are young and orderly. After all, Ming Wei is the first lady. I am afraid you and her dowry are not very good."


"Impossible?" Mu Mingtang smiled. and said, "Qi Yang Wang is the legitimate son of the late emperor, even the emperor Qi Yang said the king with his parents and children is no different, same-wife married women, even distinguish between two princes?"


Mrs. Jiang and his face does not look good, she says pursing lips , Glanced at several female shopkeepers. All the shopkeepers knew it, and immediately bowed to resign. "Mrs. Jiang and Miss II have something to say. I won't disturb. I will leave today."


"All the ladies walk slowly." Mu Mingtang greeted the guests with a smile. Afterwards, he naturally waved to several people, "It's not easy for ladies to go to work hard. These fabrics don't need to be moved out. Let's all stay. I like it very much. How much is the total amount of money? Afterwards, Mrs. Jiang will check out."


Several shopkeepers quietly went to see Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang's face was almost unable to hold her back. "Jiang Mingtang, you are enough."


"My surname is Mu, Mrs." Mu Mingtang raised his arm, Gently flicked the gray that didn't exist on the sleeve, raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and said, "As Princess Qiyang, I don't even have this power?"


Mrs. Jiang was speechless. She glanced in the direction of several female shopkeepers. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's put it down first, and then I will send someone to your shop to check out." The several female shopkeepers all smiled and praised Mrs. Jiang. Generous, the second lady is blessed. Then he slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet.


After the person left, Mrs. Jiang didn't need to hide her face, and her face suddenly sank. "What the hell do you want to do? You better remember your identity. Do you really think that when you become Princess Qiyang, you will be able to spread your blood on Jiang's head?"


" Yes." Mu Mingtang smiled and said, "I was recommended by Mr. Jiang to be Princess Qiyang, didn't I? When I got ready to prepare the dowry for me, my wife and Mrs. Jiang lost memory like amnesia and forgot me. It's about to marry King Qiyang."


"You!" Mrs. Jiang pointed at Mu Mingtang and scolded in anger. Mu Mingtang was very disgusted by Mrs. Jiang's gesture. She opened her voice and raised her eyebrows, saying, "I don't look down on anyone. Is this your attitude towards the princess? The emperor said that he would hold a big wedding ceremony for King Qiyang. It's even higher than that of King Jin. You neglected my dowry. You were tearing down the emperor's stage. I said, what Jiang Mingwei has, I want. But if I find something missing, I'll cut my hair and be my aunt. When Wang Fu came to welcome the relatives, no one was on the sedan chair, so just push your baby girl to make it up!"


Mu Mingtang finished humming and swayed away. At this time, Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she couldn't speak. She couldn't help but cover her heart. The two sides of the maid quickly came up and gathered around "Mrs."


Unexpectedly, the girls just finished calling, and Mu Mingtang came back. Mu Mingtang approached in consternation, bent over to hug the cloth. It was only when the fabric started that she felt heavier than she had imagined. Mu Mingtang had no spare time to hug a few more horses. She swept her eyes twice, pointing at some of the strongest-looking maids and saying, "You, you, and you , Hold the rest of the fabric and walk with me."


Mu Mingtang took two steps and found that there was no movement behind him, and he couldn't help turning his back, glancing at everyone obliquely, "I'm Princess Qiyang of Yuci, you want to resist the purpose Not successful?"


"The slave-servant dare not." The ladies looked at Mrs. Jiang's eyes quickly, holding their cloths and walking towards Mu Mingtang. Mu Mingtang found that the feelings of fox and tiger were so good, she hummed smugly, and walked out very hard and very tenaciously. "I like this red color the most, I am happy when I look at it. Please be careful if I drop it. , Dirty, I'm asking you to ask!" After


Mu Mingtang and the pile of red fabrics walked away, the big lady came up and helped Mrs. Jiang with anxiety. "Mrs, you see..."


"The villain wins, I See when she can run rampant!" Mrs. Jiang shouted after she was angry, and she fell down holding her heart, and the girls hurriedly held up, "Mrs. Anger, don't be angry with her body."
