Chapter 426 Hanyue’s Dowry is Too Expensive
Speaking of this, He Zhiran really doesn't have any bills or anything like that.
She is not good at doing business or managing money. The reason why she can develop some profitable businesses in this era is nothing more than taking advantage of her soul.
In the past, when she paid wages to her family, she would just roughly calculate the family income, then distribute a portion to everyone, and keep the rest as the family's public account.
She didn't have any accurate figures for this public account, after all, the recent expenses were greater than the income.
For example, eleven courtyard houses were built and a breeding farm was constructed, with a lot of scattered investments.
There are many more, but they are all subsidized by the space money, so she is too lazy to keep records.
After hearing what He Zhiran said, the sisters-in-law stopped fighting to share the cost of the jewelry they prepared for Mo Hanyue from the family account.
He Zhiran said this so that his sisters-in-law could believe it, but he couldn't hide it from Madam Mo.
Although the Duke's Mansion did not have much money back then, the old lady had been in charge of the family for many years after all. Even if she did not have the detailed figures, she had a rough idea of how much profit the family's businesses were making now.
He Zhiran was determined to give these jewelries to Mo Hanyue as a dowry, and opened the box without any explanation.
Although it is called a small box, it is actually the size of a modern shoe box.
It was filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.
Things made with modern technology can dazzle everyone's eyes, no matter their quality or appearance.
He Zhiran took out a gold necklace with a peony pendant and gestured it in front of Mo Hanyue's neck.
"This will look great worn over your wedding dress."
Then she took out a pair of peony earrings of the same style as the necklace pendant.
"This is a perfect match with the necklace. When Hanyue wears it on her wedding day, she will surely charm her brother-in-law to his heart's content."
Although He Zhiran's words were a bit exaggerated, they were also true.
The styles of the necklace and earrings simply stunned all the female members of the family. Even Mrs. Mo, who had just tried to stop her, opened her eyes wide.
"Jiuye, did you buy these jewellery in the city?"
Madam Mo knew that her son had gone to the city to purchase these things today, which was why she asked this question.
In her opinion, not only in the barren northwest, but even in the best jewelry store in Beijing, you won’t be able to find jewelry of such good quality and such beautiful style.
These pieces of jewelry were all selected by He Zhiran, who deliberately chose not to choose anything too alternative, as he did not want to be questioned by others.
Unexpectedly, these things still shocked my mother-in-law.
Seeing that Mo Jiuye didn't know how to explain for a moment, she took the initiative to speak: "Mother, these jewelry are all designs I drew in my spare time. A while ago, I asked my husband to go to the city to find a jewelry store to customize them."
After hearing this, Mrs. Mo actually believed it a little.
Her ninth daughter-in-law has an unusually good brain and can come up with novel ideas from time to time. It's no surprise that she can draw such beautiful jewelry patterns.
However, she still couldn't accept a box full of gold and silver jewelry.
"Hanyue's dowry is too expensive. Even if it's the money in our family's account, it's not acceptable."
If it were in the past, He Zhiran would have listened to her mother-in-law, but these things have already been prepared, so why not send them out?
What's more, she has been in ancient times for so long, and this is the first time she has the opportunity to squander the money in the space. How can she end up in failure?
He Zhiran didn't say anything, but continued to take out jewelry from the box and showed them in front of Mo Hanyue.
At this moment, the sisters-in-law were already attracted by the beautiful jewelry that He Zhiran took out, and even Mo Hanyue, the person involved, was not spared.
But she still maintained her original intention in her heart. No matter how much she liked these jewelries, she could not let her family spend so much money on her.
The sisters-in-law kept praising how beautiful Mo Hanyue looked wearing these jewelry, and even ignored their value.
"Hanyue, this red gem bracelet is very beautiful."
"Our Hanyue has fair skin, so she looks good in anything she wears."
"Hanyue, look at this. Although it's made of silver, it's much brighter than the black hairpin on my second sister-in-law's head."
"Is this ring a jade inlaid with gold?"
"Look, this little frog made of jade is so pretty, and it's even decorated with gemstones."
“…”
For a moment, the old couple's room was filled with the voices of sisters-in-law praising the beauty of the jewelry.
He Zhiran had thought that women would like these things, but he didn't expect that these jewelries would cause such a sensation once they appeared.
Old Madam Mo looked at her daughters-in-law talking to each other and didn't know what to say.
Mo Xing sat aside, constantly winking at his wife, asking her to quickly take control of the situation.
Madam Mo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you sisters-in-law should stop making trouble."
The sisters-in-law were happily fiddling with the beautiful jewelry at the moment. When they heard what the mother-in-law said, the second sister-in-law responded with a smile.
"Mother, this jewelry is not something that ordinary people can own. Han Yue has this dowry not only for her dignity, but also for the dignity of our Mo family.
Since Ninth Sister-in-law has said that the money for the jewelry will be paid from our official account, why not fulfill her wish and let Hanyue marry in style with this dowry?
The second sister-in-law started the conversation, and the eldest sister-in-law agreed: "Mother, what the second sister-in-law said is right. If the money from the public account is to be used, I have no objection."
Seeing this, the others also expressed their opinions, saying that it was perfectly acceptable to use the money from the public account to purchase the dowry for Mo Hanyue.
At worst, they can just work harder to earn it back in the future. Anyway, both the cold-eaten rabbit business and the long-eared rabbit pendant business are very stable at home.
Not only that, the rabbits at home reproduce very quickly, so there is no need to worry about the raw materials being out of stock.
Seeing that the sisters-in-law finally stood on his side, He Zhiran took the opportunity to say, "Mom, you see the sisters-in-law have no objection, so you don't have to worry about it. I promise to earn back the money for these jewelry as quickly as possible."
Just seeing how enthusiastic his sisters-in-law were about these jewellery, He Zhiran already had a new idea to make money.
Taobao Mall sells gold and silver jewelry molds. She remembers that when she was a child, she went to a shop that processed gold and silver jewelry to take shelter from the rain, and happened to see the boss helping a customer make a bracelet.
The bracelet was engraved with beautiful patterns. Although it might not be very unique in modern times, it would be different in ancient times.
The effect is the same as the dowry she gave to Mo Hanyue today, both of which are very eye-catching.
She was bored while taking shelter from the rain, so she just watched the boss making jewelry.
She still remembers the general process. If she buys various molds in Taobao Mall and makes beautiful jewelry, she can definitely create more profits.
Especially since the family is about to support an army, the expenses will definitely not be small.
Just feeding a thousand young men is a considerable expense.
