Not to mention the thirty-six sets of jewelry, there are a hundred bracelets alone, and the materials include gold, silver, jade, coral, pearls, agarwood, and sandalwood.

In addition to fabrics, jewelry, leather, etc., there are also furniture, including a bed, a vertical cabinet, a wooden case, a large piano table, a small piano table, a three-drawer table, an Eight Immortals table...

Jiang Changning also saw a piece of suet-fat jade carving an immortal mountain, a pair of mutton-fat jade carvings of cranes and deer on screens, a pair of bronze unicorns, and an emerald lotus leaf...each piece is worth a lot of money.

"Uncle Nan, where did you collect so many good things?" Jiang Changning was very curious about how Jiang Nan purchased such a generous dowry.

"As soon as the girl was born, the master and his wife began to save the girl's dowry. Later, when the master and his wife were gone, the slave helped save it," Jiang Nan explained.

Thinking of his father and mother who loved him, Jiang Changning's eyes became moist. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Uncle Nan, is this going beyond the limit?"

"It won't exceed the limit. I have already inquired clearly. The girl is a county owner and she is marrying a prince. According to the ceremony, she should have a dowry of three hundred and sixty. As long as there is no five-clawed dragon pattern in it, everything else will be fine.

It can be used."

"Uncle Nan, I am the step-concubine. According to the rules, you cannot pay more than the concubine Yuan in front of you." Jiang Changning reminded him.

Jiang Nan's face turned dark. He had forgotten about it and said in a sullen voice: "Then try to stuff the two carrying things in the back to the front, and make it into a dowry of three hundred and fifty-eight carryings."

Just two less lifts, what difference does it make?

"Uncle Nan, the buns have meat, not in the pleats, so they don't need to be lifted so much." Jiang Changning didn't want to compete with Princess Park, nor did she like to be so ostentatious. She preferred to make a fortune in silence.

"Girl, everyone in the world has a pair of snobbish eyes. This dowry must be put on display for everyone to see. It's too shabby, so it won't do." Jiang Nan advised.

Jiang Changning is the step-concubine, and her status is lower than that of Concubine Yuan. If the dowry amount is too small, the girl will be looked down upon.

Jiang Nan insisted that the dowry must be three hundred and fifty-eight dollars, and refused to reduce anything in the book.

Jiang Changning couldn't resist him and was grateful for his kindness, so he had no choice but to listen to him.

The dowry had to be carried by two people, four people, or eight people. Jiang Nan prepared all large boxes that were carried by eight people, half a person high.

It took two days to carry the dowry into the house, attracting many passers-by to watch.

Fang Ju took several girls and just touched the box until her eyes turned black. She ran to Jiang Changning and said, "Girl, girl, look at this slave's eyes, they are all radiant."

Jiang Changning smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let Mrs. Cui cook a fish. You can eat the fish eyes to replenish it."

"Two fish eyes." Fangju stretched out two fingers and said.

Xiulan chuckled and said: "What's delicious about fish eyes is just what you like to eat. Don't worry, we won't compete with you."

Fangju was thinking about the food, so she didn't pay much attention to her, and happily went out to find Mrs. Cui.

Jiang Nan was afraid that a gentleman from Liang Shang would come to visit, so he frightened Jiang Changning and sent a few people to patrol near the house.

A few days later, a happy lady went to Zhou's house to see Mrs. Miao. After talking about the matter, she took out the porcelain bottle hidden in her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mrs. Miao, "Mrs. Zhou, this is the medicine."

.”

Miao's face was ashen, "You will tell my master about this again later."

"Okay." Mrs. Xi replied.

Miao asked her maid to invite the Zhou brothers and Luo. As soon as the three of them entered the door, she said, "Something big has happened."

"What happened?" All three of them were startled by her.

"Mother Quan, tell me." Mrs. Miao called Mrs. Xi.

"A few days ago, a woman came to my house and gave me a thousand taels of silver and a bottle of medicated oil. She asked me to do one thing, which is to comb the medicated oil on Chun'an County Lord's hair when he combed it.

On the head, the county master will become sleepy and unable to perform the ceremony." Granny Quan repeated what she had just told Miao.

Before a woman in this dynasty got married, she would ask Mrs. Quanfu to comb her hair. Neither Wu nor Zou could be considered Mrs. Quanfu, and Jiang Changning did not want to invite them.

As for Mrs. Quanfu of the same clan, she is the only one from Jiang Changning's grandfather's line that has been passed down to Jiang Changning's generation.

Old Mrs. Jiang had three brothers and two sisters, but the two younger brothers died of illness without leaving any heirs.

The youngest concubine was abducted by a kidnapper. After several years of searching, he could not be found. Now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

Among the two sisters, Mrs. Zhuang is the younger sister, and the other is the concubine. She is married to a minor military officer. After Mrs. Jiang died of illness, she had little contact with them.

There is no Mrs. Quanfu who is close to her from the same clan. Even if there were, it would be inconvenient to bring someone all the way from Hangzhou to Beijing.

At the beginning of September, Jiang Changning asked Miao to invite the best Mrs. Xi in Beijing to serve as Mrs. Quanfu. This was Mrs. Quan.

"Although the old woman has no knowledge, she also knows this and cannot do it. So she pretends to agree, then follows her and watches her enter the big official's house in Tiaoshun Lane."

"Are you sure?" Zhou Chengcheng asked in a deep voice.

"I'm sure, I saw her entering through the corner door. I was afraid that I was wrong, so I squatted there for a few days and saw her three times. It was so real that I came to tell the ladies about it.

Mrs. Quan laughed dryly, "I was a little scared and didn't dare to inquire about her identity."

"Thank you for not asking. If you had asked, you would be dead right now." Zhou Shouxin said coldly.

Mrs. Quan had a grimace on her face, knowing that she would not be able to do well if she got involved in the dirty things happening in the compound.

"We will investigate this matter. If you live here temporarily, I will ask someone to protect your family. But if you lie, you will know the consequences." Zhou Chengcheng said seriously.

"If this old lady lies, she will be struck by thunder from heaven." Madam Quan swore.

Zhou Chengcheng also believed that Mrs. Quan would not lie, "Second brother, take her down and get the matter settled."

When Zhou Shouxin took Mrs. Quan away, Mrs. Miao asked, "Do I need to tell the girl about this?"

"We'll just take care of this. There's no need to tell the girl." Zhou Chengcheng didn't want Jiang Changning to be upset after getting married.

"Brother, I think it's better to tell the girl about this." Luo Shi disagreed, "It's a fluke that the matter was exposed in advance this time. What if there is a next time? The girl must be wary."

"My sister-in-law is right. When a girl marries into the palace, she is a princess, so she must often go to the palace. The Song family has a concubine in the palace. If the girl doesn't know that the Song family is vicious, she will be coaxed into hiding." Miao agreed.

"Such insidious means can only be used by women. My sister-in-law and I can't help the girl for the time being, so we can only let the girl be careful." Luo Shi added.

Zhou Chengcheng heard what the two said and felt that it made sense, "You guys go over to see the girl later and tell her about this. By the way, I want to ask her how to deal with this matter."
