Chapter 33 Selling the Dowry

"I've seen He Momo," Shen Qingrong just came over to look for her sister and asked how she was doing today. The little girl has been eating poorly recently, which made her very anxious.

And as soon as she came, she saw Mrs. He.

"The eldest sister is here." Mammy He was sorting Shen Qingci's clothes, and when she saw Shen Qingyuerong, she laughed, "Our eldest sister has grown up and is also a big girl, she should have promised others. right?"

Shen Qingrong immediately gave a big red face, lowered her head, looked at her toes, and didn't know where to put her hands.

Shen Qingci was shaving his face, obviously the master was making fun of his sister.

And the shy Shen Qingrong really wanted to pinch off her little face, this little conscience really hurt her in vain.

Is the eldest sister here to find our sister? Mammy He is no longer teasing Shen Qingrong, and she naturally likes Shen Qingrong. Now that she has adopted the name of the young lady of his family, it can be said that it is her. The young lady's child is now, and no matter what, it is her young lady's family, and she can't tolerate others being bullied.

"Yeah, I'm here to find her for Xiaoxiaoshi. She hasn't been eating well recently."

"A Ning eats well," Shen Qingci crawled directly onto Mamma He's lap, and then touched her belly. She hadn't eaten much recently, but she was full, and she didn't move. When she went out, it was like she didn't have long feet. She was either held by her father or held by He Ma. She couldn't walk if she wanted to. She was four years old, not two years old. Although she was a little older, But no matter how young she is, she is also four years old. How can a four-year-old child be held every day.

"Our sister eats well, but she also needs to digest food." Mammy He straightened the small bun that was combed on Shen Qingci's hair, and then held her aside, squatted down, and personally He straightened her clothes, and then asked Shen Qingrong to take her out.

As for what Mammy He can still do, she has been busy with her sister recently. She didn't take time out. She also took advantage of this to get those things done. She asked Mammy to look at the yard and went to Shen Dingshan herself. .

This is my young lady's dowry list. Mammy He holds a few pages of paper in her hand. At that time, she was also guarding the case during the recovery. When the Lou family married a daughter, so many dowries were not boasted. Everyone knows it. The Lou family is rich enough to rival the country. Of course, the marriage to Dang Xuefei, the daughter of the first daughter, is also owned by the Lou family. After all, the Lou family only has Lou Xuefei as the first daughter.

"General, I want to take over the dowry in person," Mammy He looked at the dowry list in her hand, originally thinking that she could give it to the young lady in person in the future, but now, it is...

But she respects the wishes of the lady.

After we have counted these, and then convert it into cash, the general will use it.

"Mama He, did you really decide to do this?"

Shen Dingshan naturally understood what Mammy He meant, but these things were left by his deceased wife, not because of how much money he had, but because these things were all his thoughts about his deceased wife.

"That's what the young lady meant," Mammy He also felt distressed, but she couldn't disrespect Lou Xuefei's last words, General, use it. When the real war comes, if these things give General Bao's life, then it's my family. The young lady has a spirit, as long as the general can be okay and can give my sister a support, what are these external things?

Shen Dingshan waved his hand, "Just do as you say."

Mammy He turned around and walked out.

Now the people looking at the dowry are still from the second room of the Shen family, but there are seals on the door, no matter who they are, they can't touch those things. Those people in the second room of the Shen family are watching every day. They are all eyes warm, but they still can't move the thing.

Madam He called someone, opened the door directly, and carried out the boxes one by one. When she was carrying them, Mrs. Shen came over. Every time she carried a box, she felt distressed to death. , as if she was going to dig her flesh and drink her blood, she turned around quickly, she couldn't watch it anymore, she couldn't watch it anymore, and if she kept watching it, she might really be exhausted And died.

Madam He registered these dowries, and in the end only left three boxes.

"Master, I have taken stock of everything," Mammy He put the list in front of Shen Dingshan, "These are the dowries of Madam back then, except for those fields that we can't move, and the expenses to support the family, there are also The remaining three are left to my three children by my lady, and they will be used when the children get married in the future."

After selling the dowry, some things still cannot be moved. The house also needs to eat, drink, and live. There are still so many people to support. Others, such as those gold and silver jewelry, antiques and jades , the famous calligraphy and painting are sold.

Yes, let's sell it.

Shen Dingshan stood up, but didn't go to get the list. Now the court can't get much military rations, and how many sergeants are still hungry now, how could he not know, in fact, there is not much silver in the general's mansion , Most of the money in the government was posted as military rations. If there is still no money, I don't know how many people will die.

He couldn't stand it, he couldn't bear it, he was a general, he brought them into life, he let them go out to die, if they wanted their stomachs to make them hungry, how could he be right? The soldier who was born and died with him.

And he felt guilty. He was also shameless. He had been relying on his wife's dowry to support the family. He wiped his face. He felt sorry for his deceased wife. Surprised, even if she was gone, she still had to give him all the dowry, just to keep him safe.

Mammy He backed out, she sighed again, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Shen Qingci standing not far away, a little man standing with his head tilted, his big eyes blinking from time to time, really. Yu Xue is so cute, I can't help but want to pinch her little face.

But without these dowries, her sister would have no red makeup.

Shen Qingci ran over and hugged He Mama's legs again.

"Don't be afraid, A Ning will make a lot of money, and A Ning will also kiss like a mother, and give the money earned to those uncles and uncles to eat and wear warm cotton clothes for them."

Madam He squatted down and hugged the child's small body in her arms.

"Well, my sister is like a mother, the same kindness, the same heart, and the same as the man."

General Shen sold all the dowry of his deceased wife, and received as much as one million taels of silver, and he took all of these as army salaries, bought food and grass for the sergeants, and bought them new clothes.
