Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

After washing with the spiritual spring water, Yanyan felt much more relaxed.

Her skin was also white with a rosy glow, and even more crystal clear, like a peeled egg.

"Rongrong, are you here to bind this dimension as well?"

Sirong said nonchalantly, "Yes, I found it after I came here. There's a thatched hut over there. I found the pill I gave you yesterday there."

"It's great that we have this space. It's great."

Sirong could see that there was no greed in Yanyan's eyes, she was just simply happy that she had gained some space.

After the two came out of the space, they went around the warehouses in the mansion on the pretext of handing over the household power.

In this era, dowry is a woman's private property. Even if she marries into her husband's family, she can only control her property and her husband's family cannot touch it.

If a man uses his wife's dowry, he will definitely be ridiculed by others.

Unless a woman takes the initiative to use it to supplement the family income.

Even if this is the case, they will try to cover it up and find other excuses, and will never say that it is their dowry.

There's a popular saying here: 'Only the most worthless men in the world would covet their wives' dowries.'

If people knew that her husband had used her dowry, she would not be able to hold her head up in public.

But the original owner used her own dowry. At that time, Old Madam Ye asked Sirong to take charge of the household expenses. There were many deficits in the family accounts, so she could only use her own dowry to fill them.

Moreover, the original owner, Sirong, treated these adopted children as her own. When her two daughters got married, she naturally gave them a share of her dowry.

According to the law, the family property is divided equally among the sons, and the property brought by the woman from her natal family.

They will not be included in the distribution among "those who should be allocated land and houses".

But if the wife dies, her dowry will be merged with the ancestral property of her husband's family, and her family cannot ask her husband's family to return the dowry.

Sirong’s dowry back then was a red bed leading the way and a coffin at the back.

From gold and silver jewelry, clothes and cloth, candlesticks and lamps, to crowns, scarves, shoes and socks, copper basins and utensils, porcelain cups and plates, and toiletries.

The rice bucket, water bucket, and offspring bucket, plus pearls, jade, and four treasures of the study, cover all the daily needs of the bride after she enters her husband's family.

In particular, the earthen bricks that represented fields and shops at the time cost a total of thirty pieces as a dowry.

Most of them were homesick and stayed in the capital's restaurants, jewelry shops and farms in the suburbs.

Fortunately, Sirong was also good at business. She kept two of the farms and rented out the rest. The rent every year was enough for the family's food and drink.

Otherwise, if they don't live beyond their means, who knows how miserable this family will become.

Most of the profits from the shop were used to build connections for General Ye. Otherwise, how do you think he was able to rise to the position of general over the years?

However, most of these General Yes did not know that the original owner was concerned about his face and asked his confidants to do it.

In fact, General Ye did not have much talent. After all, he was born in a farming family and had no experience.

You said that he has intelligence and wit, but forget about his literary and military skills.

This is why General Ye went to so much trouble to deceive the original owner.

At that time, his official position was not high. If Sirong insisted on not giving up the dowry, he really had no good way to deal with it.

Lin Ruxue had drugged him and made him swear not to consummate the marriage with the original owner, which meant that the original owner would not have her own children.

Even if the original owner was killed, Sijia could still take the dowry away.

He won't get anything then.

Although Yanyan's dowry was not as much as Sirong's, she included a lot of classics, history, and collections, many of which were rare and valuable copies.

After retiring, Taifu Yan devoted all his attention to the library at home.

He often spends a fortune on a damaged copy of a book.

This is also the reason why the family of the Grand Tutor does not have much money.

But those books are the property of the Yan family.

This is how a noble family came to be. The library in their home is not something that ordinary people can have.

This is also the reason why civil officials do not like to marry military officials.

Military officers who led troops into battle were often rewarded with spoils of war, and most of them climbed up from humble backgrounds like General Ye.

Naturally, they like things made of real gold and silver, but the civil servants find them tacky.

The military officers also thought that these civil officials were poor.

Unless the Ye family wants their children to change their family background and become civil servants, most military families choose to marry military officers.

Yanyan flipped through the books she brought and said to Sirong, "Rongrong, you know what, this cloud vanilla smells really good."

Sirong smiled and replied, "Of course, we come from a family of scholars. This Yunxiangcao is the fragrance of the scholarly family."

Sirong selected several precious jade pieces from her private collection and added them to the list of gifts for Yanyan.

Long before the wedding ceremony, the original owner had prepared six large carts of gifts for Yanyan's return visit.

It's a good omen for everything to go smoothly.

The original owner was a kind person, and the things he chose were practical and low-key.

This will not only prevent people from thinking that they are greedy for money, but will also benefit the Yan family.

In fact, the Yan family is doing well, but Yan Yan's brother has not yet achieved fame.

My father is the only one receiving salary in the family, which makes us seem a little down and out.

If you really need money urgently, you can pick a few books from home and sell them, and you can get a lot of money in return.

The Yan family themselves lived a happy and leisurely life.

All we can say is that everyone has a different understanding of the value of wealth.

Just like Yanyan’s father, if you gave him a rare book and let him drink porridge every day, he would be very happy.

Even though he is the son-in-law of Master Yan, he has learned all of his ways.

Thinking of this, Sirong found a few ancient books from her own space and added them in.

The main feature is to cater to the audience's tastes, and it also includes a travelogue that describes corn, sweet potatoes, and an introduction to glass and cement manufacturing.

This was a book that Sirong had someone make old. She was thinking of taking it back to deal with Mr. Wei's questioning.

And Sirong didn't just write this book, she also wrote one about weapons and gunpowder.

At that time, for the sake of convenience, we asked someone to make ten copies of each item.

So I don’t feel bad about giving one to the Yan family.

On the day of returning home, Ye Junhao accompanied Yanyan to the gate of the general's mansion, but was blocked by Ye Junyuan and Xia Liuer.

Also returning were Old Madam Ye and Lin Ruxue.

Normally, when a young couple returns to their parents' home, Sirong, as an elder, should not see them off. Even if she wants to, she doesn't have to see them off to the main door.

But Sirong knew that Ye Junyuan and the others were coming back to cause trouble today, so she naturally followed them.
