Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down
Chapter 199: Madam Wang II is the first to come out and cry poor
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
Steward Wang took the list of betrothal gifts handed over by the maid and said to Su Shujing with a forced smile:
"This is the betrothal gift list that our old lady had drawn up overnight."
Seeing the joy on Su Shujing and Zhou Mingzhu's faces, he hurriedly took the list of betrothal gifts.
A hint of disdain flashed in Butler Wang's eyes.
It turned out that he was someone who had stayed in a place like the northern border for many years and came back.
Su Shujing doesn't have the reserve that a girl should have.
When they saw the betrothal gift list from the man, the joy that flashed across the faces of the mother and daughter was too obvious.
It's so straightforward that it's annoying.
Butler Wang knew that everyone in the Wang family in the imperial capital was greedy for money.
But no matter how much they loved money, none of them showed it as obviously as Su Shujing and Zhou Mingzhu, mother and daughter.
Watching Su Shujing and Zhou Mingzhu open the list of betrothal gifts.
The smile on Zhou Mingzhu's face collapsed. She looked up at Butler Wang with anger in her eyes.
Su Shujing, who was standing by, still didn't understand what was going on. She smiled and pointed at the gold and silver on the betrothal gifts list and said,
"Mother, this betrothal gift list is so rich."
The disdain on Butler Wang's face was even more explicit.
Su Shujing, a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, saw that the names of the jewelry on the betrothal gift list were nice, so he thought that this betrothal gift list was valuable?
In fact, people who know the business know that this list of betrothal gifts is of no value.
Apart from a few pieces of jewelry, there was nothing else that was genuine and made of real gold and silver.
When it comes to jewelry, the price you pay for the craftsmanship is the price.
There are some jewelry that are not made of pure gold, but they can still be sold at the price of pure gold.
However, once this style of jewelry becomes out of fashion, it can no longer be sold for the price it was originally purchased for.
Butler Wang smiled and nodded to Su Shujing.
"Our Wang family is sincere and wants to marry the girl as soon as possible."
Only then did Su Mingzhu feel a little more favorable towards Butler Wang, and she was about to speak.
Zhou Mingzhu, who was standing by, was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"Sincerity is bullshit!"
Zhou Mingzhu closed the betrothal gift list in her hand and threw it directly at Butler Wang's face.
"Is this the sincerity of your Wang family? You are a descendant family after all, and you actually offer such a small betrothal gift?"
"When ordinary families marry off their daughters, giving such a small dowry is considered shameful. You are marrying a wife, aren't you afraid that the whole imperial capital will laugh at you, the Wang family, for being stingy?"
Butler Wang was unable to dodge and was hit in the face by the betrothal gift list thrown by Zhou Mingzhu.
He dared not speak out, clenched his fists, bent down, and picked up the betrothal gift list that had fallen on the ground.
"Madam, why bother with this? What kind of person, and how much value, can be worthy of a betrothal gift of equal value, right?"
Butler Wang had something in mind.
Zhou Mingzhu stepped forward and slapped Butler Wang twice.
"I advise you to speak nicely. My husband is Su Shizhi. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to win over my husband."
"The people of Mobei will soon come to the imperial capital, and they will be able to use my husband."
What Zhou Mingzhu meant by this was to tell the entire Wang family.
The Su family is not without any trump cards, and they are not despicable.
The Wang family had better show real sincerity.
After hearing what Zhou Mingzhu said, Butler Wang didn't dare to say anything more mocking Zhou Mingzhu and Su Shujing.
He swallowed his anger and said, "Then I will report it to the old lady immediately and see what she says."
Zhou Mingzhu smiled contemptuously and left the Wang family with Su Shujing.
Before leaving, Zhou Mingzhu deliberately said to Butler Wang,
"If the betrothal gifts you offer don't demonstrate your sincerity, when the people from Mobei arrive, let my husband tell them a joke."
Butler Wang bent down even lower, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
"What are you talking about?"
"Hehehehe."
In the end, Butler Wang was left with only an awkward smile on his face.
Zhou Mingzhu just left with Su Shujing.
Butler Wang came to the backyard of the Wang family.
None of the people including Old Lady Wang who said they were going out to worship Buddha left. They all stayed in the backyard.
Butler Wang repeated Zhou Mingzhu's words word for word without missing a single word.
In the flower hall in the backyard, everyone gasped.
Uncle Wang's wife, Madam Wang Er, slammed the armrest of the chair.
"Who the hell is this Zhou Mingzhu?"
"She herself is a slut, as if everyone knows what shameful things she did on her way to the Northern Frontier!"
"Where did she get the nerve to open her mouth like a lion?"
For the Wang family, asking them to squeeze out money from their teeth is more painful than killing them.
Of course Mrs. Wang Er was unwilling to do so, even though she had spent so much money on the betrothal gift just for Su Shujing.
At this moment, someone came from the East Palace.
Wang Lanzhi sent someone to tell the Wang family that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had ordered that the Wang family must give Su Shujing a generous betrothal gift.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned Su Shizhi to the East Palace.
This shows how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values Su Shizhi.
"The Crown Princess has instructed that the dowry you give her may not be generous, but you must complete this matter for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Don't embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The person who came to deliver the message was a eunuch with a shrill voice that hurt the eardrums of all the Wang family members.
Everyone in the Wang family clenched their fists.
They indeed did not give Wang Lanzhi much dowry.
Because the Wang family simply couldn't afford a ten-mile red wedding.
Many of the dowry boxes were empty, and Wang Lanzhi knew this.
Now, in order to please the prince, Wang Lanzhi is exploiting the Wang family.
It's a bit infuriating.
But the eunuchs from the East Palace were standing there, looking at each other with their eyes on the nose and their noses on the heart.
He had delivered his message and did not leave.
Old Lady Wang understood what was going on and hurriedly took off a jade bracelet from her wrist with a painful look on her face and sent someone to hand it over to the eunuch who was delivering the message.
"It's just a little token of my appreciation, please don't despise it, father-in-law."
Anyone who came from the palace to deliver a message for a noble would be rewarded.
This benefit must be given.
They didn't expect these eunuchs who ran errands to be able to help them much in the future.
I just hope that the eunuch who runs errands for me won’t do anything bad in the future.
The eunuch who delivered the message weighed the jade bracelet in his hand with a look of satisfaction on his face and finally left the Wang family.
Mrs. Wang Er immediately raised her voice and said, "We are completely out of money."
Wang Lanzhi was the only one left in their room.
She also married into the Eastern Palace and became the Crown Princess.
When the Wang family gave Wang Lanzhi a dowry, the second wife had given her enough gold and silver.
The rest of the rooms were mixed with a lot of water.
Especially the dowry that the eldest wife gave to Wang Lanzhi, all the dowry boxes were empty.
Now that Wang Baobao from the first wife is getting married, Mrs. Wang II is the first to jump out and complain about being poor.
