Chapter 33: Sell dowry

"I have seen Madam He," Shen Qingrong just came over to look for her sister, and asked how she was doing today. The little girl has had trouble eating well recently, which made her very anxious.
And she saw Madam He as soon as she arrived.
"The eldest sister is here." Madam He was finishing Shen Qingci's clothes, and she laughed when she saw Shen Qingyuerong. "Our eldest sister has grown up and is also a big girl. It should be Xu. Right?"
Shen Qingrong immediately made a big red face, lowered his head, looked at his toes, and didn't know where to put his hands.
Shen Qingci shaved his face, and it was obvious that the master was making fun of her sister.
And the shy Shen Qingrong really wanted to squeeze her little face, this little conscience really hurt her for nothing.
Did the eldest sister come to see our sister? Mother He is not teasing Shen Qingrong, and she naturally likes Shen Qingrong. Now that she is the name of the young lady who has adopted her, then she can also be said to be her Miss Jia’s child, no matter what, is also her family’s family, and they can’t tolerate bullying.
"Yeah, I came to her to digest, she hasn't eaten well recently."
"A Ning is eating well," Shen Qingci crawled directly onto Madam He's lap, and then touched her belly. She hasn't eaten much recently, but she is full, and she doesn't move. When I went out, it was like no long feet. It was either hugged by Dad or by Madam He. She couldn’t walk as much as she wanted. She was four years old, not two years old, although she was a little longer and younger. But no matter how young she is, she is four years old, and there are four-year-old children that are still held every day.
"Our sister eats well, but she has to go to digest." Mother He straightened the small Baotou that Shen Qingci had combed on her head, and then she hugged her aside, squatted down, and personally He adjusted her clothes, and then asked Shen Qingrong to take her out.
And Mother He can still have things to do. Recently, she has been busy taking care of her sister. She did not take the time to do it. She asked the nurse to look at the yard and went to Shen Dingshan. .
This is my daughter’s dowry list. Mother He took a few pages of paper in her hand. She was also preparing for the case at the time. At the time, the Lou’s dowry was not a boast. Everyone knows that. The Lou family is wealthy and can be an enemy of the country. Of course, the marriage of Dang Xuefei's prostitute is also owned by the Lou family. After all, the Lou family only has a prostitute like Lou Xuefei.
"General, I want to take over these dowries personally," Madam He looked at the dowry list in her hand, originally thinking that she could give these to the young lady in person in the future, but now, it is...
But she respected the wishes of the young lady.
Wait until we have counted these, and then converted into cash, the general can use it.
"Grandma Ho, did you really decide to do this?"
Shen Dingshan naturally understood what Mother He meant, but these things were left by the deceased wife, not because of the amount of money, but because these things were all his thoughts about the deceased wife.
"This is what the young lady meant." Mother He was also distressed, but she couldn't disrespect Lou Xuefei's last words, General, use it, and when the real war comes, if these things are killed by the general, then it is considered my family. The young lady is energetic, as long as the general can be fine and can give my sister a support, what are these extraneous things?
Shen Dingshan waved his hand, "Just do what you say."
Mother He turned around and walked out.
Now those who look at those dowries are still people from the second room of the Shen family, but there are seals on the door, no matter who it is, they can’t touch those things, those people in the second room of the Shen family, although they are all staring every day They are all staring, but they still can't move that thing.
Madam He called for someone and opened the door directly. She also carried the boxes out one by one. When carrying them, Mrs. Shen came over. Every time she carried a box, she felt distressed. , As if to dig her flesh and drink her blood, she quickly turned around and couldn’t see it anymore. She really couldn’t stand it anymore. If she looked on, she might really exhaust her energy. Died.
Madam He registered all these dowries in the register, and in the end only left three boxes.
"Master, I'll take the inventory," Madam He put the list in front of Shen Dingshan, "These are the wife’s dowry back then. Except for those fields, we can’t move, and we need to support the family. The remaining three are left by my lady for the three children, which will be used when the children get married in the future."
After selling these dowries, some things still can’t be moved. The mansion has to eat, drink, and live. There are so many people to raise. Others, such as those gold and silver jewelry, antiques and jade. , Sell the famous calligraphy and painting.
Yes, just sell it.
Shen Dingshan stood up, but did not go to get the list. Now that he is in the middle, he can't get much rations. How many sergeants are still hungry. How can he not know that there is not much money in the general's house. Most of the money in the mansion was posted as military rations. If there is still no silver, I don't know how many people will die.
He couldn’t stand it, and he couldn’t bear it either. He was a general. He brought them into life. He let them go out to die. If they want their stomachs, they can’t eat enough. How can he be right? A soldier who was born and died with him.
And he was guilty, and he was also shameless. He had always depended on his wife’s dowry to support his family. He wiped his face. He was sorry for his dead wife. Not only could he not let her live in peace, but even let her take care of him. Surprised, even if she is gone, he still has to give him all those dowries, just to keep him safe.
Madam He stepped back, and she sighed again. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Shen Qingci standing not far away, a small person standing with his head tilted, her big eyes blinking from time to time. Yuxue's is cute, and the thing that makes people really can't help but want to pinch her face.
But without these dowries, her sister would have no red makeup.
Shen Qingci ran over and hugged Madam He's legs again.
"Grandma is not afraid. A Ning will earn a lot of money, and A Ning will also be like a mother, giving the money earned to those uncles and uncles to eat and dressing them in warm cotton clothes."
Mother He squatted down and hugged the child's small body in her arms.
"Well, my sister is just like a mother, the same kindness, the same heart of the world, and the same is not lost to the man."
General Shen's dowry for his dead wife was sold, and he was paid as much as a million taels of silver. All of these were used as military pay, buying food and grass for the sergeants, and buying new clothes for them.
