Chapter 58 Dividing Tang Wanning's Dowry
Ye Jingchuan didn't expect Ye Chutang to suddenly ask about the arranged marriage, which made him feel like he had failed in his plan to plot against her and was caught.
He coughed lightly and asked, "Where did you hear these gossips?"
"Dad, just tell me, is it true or false?"
"When the Emperor heard that Prince Chen asked you for a calligraphy, he thought he was interested in you and wanted to grant you a marriage.
But Prince Chen doesn't even look down on Princess Anping, so how could he look down on you? The only person in his heart is the Miao witch doctor who saved him. ”
Ye Chutang listened to Ye Jingchuan's deliberately belittling words and asked with a smile: "Besides status, how do you think your daughter is inferior to Princess Anping?"
After that, she made a decision.
Although she cannot improve her status, her position can!
Ye Jingchuan came to ask Ye Chutang to treat his old mother, so naturally he would not belittle her.
"You are naturally better than Princess Anping, but she is of noble status and can decide your life or death with just one sentence. Don't mess with her in the future."
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows, "Even if it's the emperor, he has to find a reason to kill someone. When did Princess Anping have more power than the emperor?"
Ye Jingchuan couldn't win the argument with Ye Chutang, so he changed the subject and asked, "Chu'er, what do you think of Prince Chen?"
"Prince Chen is handsome, has good character, protects the border and the people, and has a deep love for his sweetheart. He is a rare good man."
If Prince Chen didn't have a lover and wasn't a thorn in the eyes of the Dog Emperor, she would definitely pursue him.
Unfortunately, he has both.
Seeing that Ye Chutang had such a high opinion of Prince Chen, Ye Jingchuan felt that a marriage was possible.
"You think so highly of Prince Chen, do you want to marry him?"
Ye Chutang sensed a conspiracy.
She threw the spoon into the pumpkin soup and followed Ye Jingchuan's words and asked, "Didn't you say that Prince Chen looked down on me and rejected the emperor's kindness?"
"He did refuse, but you still have a chance. The Emperor gave Prince Chen half a month to choose a noblewoman from the capital to marry."
"Doesn't Prince Chen like the witch doctor from Southern Xinjiang? Shouldn't he marry her?"
"Prince Chen said that the Miao people generally marry within their tribe and will not leave their homes to come to the capital."
When Ye Chutang heard this, he knew that King Chen said this on purpose in order to protect the witch doctor.
If the Dog Emperor knew that the witch doctor was his weak spot, he would definitely attack him.
But she didn't think that Prince Chen was the kind of scumbag who would marry someone else just to protect his beloved.
There will definitely be changes in his marriage.
Of course, whether King Chen married a witch doctor or a noble lady had nothing to do with her.
"Dad, I won't marry a man who has another woman in his heart."
Ye Jingchuan was speechless.
"Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? According to your idea, you can only be an old maid that no one wants!"
Ye Chutang is not a feudal ancient person. If she hasn't met the right person, she would rather be single.
"Being an old maid is better than marrying a scumbag."
When she said this, she stared at Ye Jingchuan with a forced smile, clearly hinting at him.
Ye Jingchuan couldn't continue chatting, so he stood up and said, "I'll wait for you in the yard."
Ye Chutang picked up the spoon and continued to eat the pumpkin soup.
After finishing her breakfast leisurely, she came out of the kitchen and said to Shan'er, "I will be out of the house later, so you don't need to prepare my lunch."
After that, she said to Ye Jingchuan: "Go divide the dowry first."
There was no way she would go to treat Old Madam Ye, as it would damage her merits!
Ye Jingchuan knew that Ye Chutang was a stubborn person, and if she didn't listen to her, she would make everyone uneasy.
"Okay, Ling'er is marrying Eunuch De, so the dowry can't be too shabby. Dad has to pick out some nice things for her."
"Dad is really generous to others. Let's go."
Seeing that she didn't object, Ye Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Go ahead and scold me, it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last!
When he left Ningchu Courtyard, he said to the guards outside the courtyard: "Call the Madam and Ling'er, Aunt Jiang and Yin'er to the Buddhist hall, and call twenty guards over."
The dowry box was big and heavy, and it would be impossible to move it without enough people.
Ye Chutang was speechless again.
Even the Buddha is going to be ruined by this scum!
The courtyard where the Buddhist temple is located is called Fanyin Courtyard, which is located in the northwest corner of the Shangshu Mansion and has a large area.
In addition to the Buddhist temple, there is also a garden and a Star-Picking Tower for viewing the scenery in the courtyard.
When Ye Chutang and Ye Jingchuan arrived at Fanyinyuan, Kong Ru, Ye Anling, Aunt Jiang and Ye Siyin were already waiting at the door.
The guards also stood in a neat line, making a grand scene.
There were obvious slap marks on Kong Ru's face, the wound on her buttocks had not healed yet, and her standing posture was awkward.
Aunt Jiang could hardly hide her excitement and couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Ye Jingchuan entered the yard first and went to the Buddhist hall.
He said to the guard, "Pry up the floor and take out the dowry box inside."
There are several layers of waterproof cloth under the floor of the Buddhist hall.
After removing the waterproof cloth, you can see the neatly arranged dowry boxes.
There are two floors, with a total of thirty-two boxes.
The garden has a corridor connected to a pavilion.
Below were double-layered dowry boxes, weighing a total of sixty.
The remaining dowry boxes were all under the floor of the Zhaixing Tower.
Ye Chutang was amazed at Ye Jingchuan's ability to hide his dowry.
If she were to look for it, she really wouldn't be able to find it.
Because the dowry box was not buried directly in the ground.
Except for the floor at the top, the other surfaces are sealed with stones.
Even if she used her earth-related abilities to investigate, she would only think it was a foundation.
The sixty-four boxes of dowry on the top shelf were carried out and placed in the garden.
Ye Jingchuan casually opened a box and said, "The dowry is divided into four parts, one for each of the three daughters, and the remaining part is left for Zhier and Juner to marry."
"The dowry belongs to Wan Ning. Although she said before she died that she wanted to divide the dowry equally among each child, Chu'er is her only daughter, so I will get more. Yin'er is a concubine's daughter, so I will get less. Do you have any objections?"
Kong Ru and Aunt Jiang certainly had no objection.
Every item in Tang Wanning's dowry is a treasure, and it's a profit no matter how much you take.
"Master, you decide."
Seeing Ye Chutang remained silent, Ye Jingchuan quickly coaxed her, "Chu'er, don't worry, the dowry Dad left for you must be large and good."
Ye Chutang nodded, "Okay, let's divide it."
It's all useless work anyway, no one can take anything away!
She also took the opportunity to check the difference between the dowry in the dowry box and the details on the dowry list.
