The main courtyard of the Marquis's mansion.
Zou was taking Yu Yunli to cry in front of Dingping Hou Yu Xiaoyuan.
"Jinshu wants so much gold and silver. What will Yun'er do if we give it to her?"
Yu Xiaoyuan also felt that his eldest daughter Jinshu was asking for too much, but now that she was going to enter the palace, he would have to let her pass on information from the palace to the outside in the future.
Just to pass on the message, you will have to bribe the palace maids and eunuchs in the future.
He looked at Zou: "You are reluctant to give money, but you want Jinshu to enter the palace. You and Yun'er both know that the emperor has no children. If Jinshu goes to the palace, she will have no children and no money, and she will have to stay in the palace for the rest of her life. How do you think she will live in the future?"
Zou was anxious: "But if we give her all the money, Yun'er will have nothing for her dowry."
Yu Xiaoyuan said, "Although Yun'er's dowry is a little small, the family she will marry into in the future will definitely not be poor. It's not impossible to keep her in the mansion for two years and save some for her."
Seeing Yu Xiaoyuan say this, Zou had no choice but to compromise, but she felt so painful inside. It was like a layer of skin was being peeled off her.
Yu Jinshu had just washed his hair with hair care cream when he saw Yu Yunli coming.
Yu Yunli was stunned when she saw Yu Jinshu's flowing hair. "Yu Jinshu, what did you use on your hair?"
The hair was obviously dry and yellow, how come it became so smooth and shiny in less than two hours?
Yu Jinshu glanced at Yu Yunli with a smile and said, "Of course it's a secret recipe. I won't tell you, sister."
Yu Yunli said coldly: "I don't care."
She secretly sulked for a while before getting down to business. "Your mother's dowry has been delivered to you. Mother has promised to give you 10,000 taels of gold and 20,000 taels of silver. Now you should prepare well for entering the palace."
She pointed to a wooden box in the maid's hand and said, "Inside is a divorce letter written by my father and a house deed. I also gave you a few bottles of rouge and ointment. Use them, but don't let yourself be unable to pass even the first level when you enter the palace."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The maid handed the wooden box in her hand to Xiao Chao and left with Yu Yunli.
Yu Jinshu asked Xiao Chao to open the wooden box, and on the top layer was a divorce certificate.
Although she came from a book, as the daughter of Wen, she was also emotionally involved.
There was also a title deed. The two-story house was very small, with only three side rooms, two ear rooms, and a small courtyard, but it was already very good for Mrs. Wen.
Yu Jinshu thought that when she got the 10,000 taels of gold and 20,000 taels of silver, she would give some money to her mother to ensure her future life.
His mother's dowry was still in the yard. Yu Jinshu glanced at the three boxes in the yard, frowned, and walked out of the house.
Nanny Zhang was already standing beside the dowry. She looked at the three boxes and said with a bitter face, "When the young lady got married, her dowry was eighty loads, but now there are only these three."
Yu Jinshu knew very well that over the past ten years, his mother's dowry had been squandered by his stepmother, so it was considered good to have these three pieces of luggage.
She said, "Forget it. Anyway, I asked them for 10,000 taels of gold and 20,000 taels of silver, which can be considered as compensation."
Nanny Zhang said, "This is the only way now. If we ask them for it again, we won't be able to get it back."
Yu Jinshu looked at his mother who was clinging to the window and grinning foolishly, thinking that his mother's madness must be cured.
I don’t know if there is any medicine in the system to cure madness.
Yu Jinshu asked Nanny Zhang and Xiao Chao to carry the three loads of dowry into the house, while she used her mind to enter the system mall.
You won’t believe it, but they actually found a medicine to cure her madness, called Fuzhi Pills.
It costs a hundred points, which is quite expensive.
She immediately bought the bottle of pills and went to her mother's room.
His mother, Wen, was originally the daughter of a university scholar and came from a scholarly family. She had learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was young, and could also compose poetry. Not only that, she was also beautiful.
Such a woman was the most beautiful woman in the capital back then.
It’s just that Wen was unlucky and married a scumbag like Yu Xiaoyuan.
While Wen was pregnant, Yu Xiaoyuan met Zou, a woman from a small family.
Although Zou was not as pretty as Wen, the charm between her eyebrows and eyes was very alluring. She could also guess what men were thinking and say what men loved to hear.
Yu Xiaoyuan was thus captured by Zou, and entered the marquis's mansion.
The first thing Zou did when she entered the Marquis' Mansion was to give Wen a dementia medicine. This medicine came from the Western Regions and had no effect after taking it.
Not long after giving birth to Yu Jinshu, Wen went insane.
Yu Xiaoyuan felt that Wen was not fit to be the mistress of the house, so he married Zou as his concubine.
People outside were even praising Yu Xiaoyuan, saying that even though Wen was crazy, Yu Xiaoyuan did not divorce her, which was considered a great act of righteousness.
What a bullshit justice!
Yu Jinshu wanted to curse when he read the plot of the book in the system.
After Zou became a concubine, she drove Wen out of the main courtyard. At that time, Yu Jinshu was still a baby, so he was nursed by Nanny Zhang and lived in this small, broken courtyard with Wen.
In the past eighteen years, Yu Jinshu has not had a good day.
The loom in the house is the best evidence.
According to the rules, Wen was entitled to twenty taels of silver every month, but she only received less than five cents each month.
Yu Jinshu originally had two taels of monthly silver, but let alone these two taels, not a single cent ever came into her hands.
The monthly wages of Nanny Zhang and Xiao Chao were also less than those of other servants.
In order to survive, Nanny Zhang started weaving to earn some money. Later, when Yu Jinshu was five years old, she also started weaving.
Now we also weave the small Hajj.
Three people take turns weaving on the loom in the room, hardly ever taking a break.
In this way, they barely survived for eighteen years.
As for Yu Jinshu's marriage, since she was really ugly and her mother was a lunatic, no one had ever proposed to her until now. She was delayed until now at the age of eighteen and had become an old maid.
Zou originally wanted to take Yu Jinshu to the farm and find a random man for her to marry, but the palace happened to be selecting concubines, and Yu Yunli was chosen.
Farmers nowadays are very poor, suffering from floods and droughts year after year. If Yu Jinshu married into a farm, it would basically be a dead end for her.
One can imagine how evil Zou's heart is.
Yu Jinshu went to his mother's room.
Mother Wen's feet were locked with an iron chain, her hair was disheveled, her face was dull and haggard, and she looked extremely pitiful.
"Mom, eat this."
Yu Jinshu put the pill next to Wen's mouth.
Mrs. Wen looked at the pill and smiled foolishly: "Candy, I want to eat candy."
Yu Jinshu coaxed Wen: "This is candy, it's delicious, please eat it."
Although Mrs. Wen suffered from dementia, she had deep feelings for her daughter and she knew that the girl in front of her was her daughter.
Everything my daughter gives me is delicious.
Wen opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.
Yu Jinshu stared at Wen without blinking.
As the pill in Wen's mouth melted and the medicine went down her throat, she was suddenly stunned.
Yu Jinshu looked at Wen's eyes, which gradually became clear from being cloudy at first.
She smiled: "Mom."
Mrs. Wen also stared at Yu Jinshu, her face becoming serious yet kind, "Jin'er."
