Ren Yaoqi did not react. The third branch has now moved out of Baihe Town and will become more and more independent in the future. Naturally, there will be less interaction between them and Ren Yaoyin.
Ren Yaohua is about to get married. She doesn't like Ren Yaoyin, so they can just stop contacting each other forever. There is nothing to worry about.
The day before the wedding, the Ren family married.
The Ren family prepared a dowry for Ren Yaohua. According to the rules for the legitimate daughter of the Ren family, she was given a farm, a three-story house, two shops, a set of huanghuali furniture, clothes, jewelry, various decorations and daily necessities. Although Ren Yaohua's dowry has shrunk a lot because the Ren family is not what it used to be, in the eyes of outsiders, Ren Yaohua's marriage was still glorious.
Generally speaking, when a daughter of a wealthy family marries, in addition to the dowry provided by the family, her parents and her maternal family will also provide some subsidies. As for the amount of subsidies, it all depends on the financial situation of each branch. Therefore, sometimes even the daughters of the same branch of the same family can have different dowries.
Li hadn't saved much money over the years, so she only gave Ren Yaohua a few sets of fine jewelry she had saved. Li felt guilty about this. Other mothers would have given their daughters a portion of their dowry, but when Li married, the Xian Palace was in its most difficult period, so how could she have afforded a dowry? Ren Yaohua didn't care. She knew the financial situation of the third house very well, so even of the few sets of jewelry Li offered her, she only wanted half, wanting to leave the other half to Ren Yaoqi.
However, Ren Yaoqi found Ren Shimin and had a talk with her. That night, when Ren Yaohua came to him to listen to his teachings, Master Ren San generously gave her three thousand taels of silver as a deposit, and also gave her several valuable and elegant items such as famous paintings and calligraphy to serve as a gift, which shocked Ren Yaohua and made her feel flattered.
Rong also gave Ren Yaohua a dowry: two thousand taels of silver plus a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants. After Prince Xian's palace established contact with Hezhong, some things no longer needed to be hidden; there was still a foundation. It was said that the pair of jade pendants were a gift from the late emperor.
The other relatives also expressed their gratitude when adding to Ren Yaohua's dowry. Ren Shijia was the most generous. In addition to giving Ren Yaohua a set of red gold headwear, a pair of jade bracelets, and eight pieces of brocade, he also gave Ren Yaohua an extra 1,000 taels of silver.
Ren Shijia was not so generous when his other nieces got married. The reason why he treated Ren Yaohua differently was mainly because of Ren Yaoqi. In addition, the Lin family has now split up, and Lin Kun has a lot of industries under his control, so Ren Shijia has a lot of money on hand.
She even pulled Ren Yaoqi aside and whispered, "Good boy, when you get married, your aunt will have good things for you." She was very confident.
On the day of her wedding, four of the eight maids that Old Lady Ren had prepared for Ren Yaohua were originally to be sent to the Lei family along with her dowry. However, Old Lady Ren had no idea that before the dowry was sent to the Lei family, all the maids she had carefully prepared were quietly replaced by Nanny Zhou.
