     Yan Jingshu raised her hand with a smile, signaling that they don't need to be too polite, and then said to Jiang Chenghan: "The people sent by Mrs. Jiang can't be neglected. How about I ask Zheng Er to take them back in a carriage? Zheng Er is one of my dowry servants." Man, he used to be in charge of the chariots and horses in the stable at home."

     "That's fine, it's up to you." Now that the marriage is over, and there are servants brought by Yan Jingshu, there is no need to bother the people in the general's mansion anymore. Jiang Chenghan naturally has no objection to Yan Jingshu's arrangement.

     Yan Jingshu then turned her head to look at a tall, thin and dark middle-aged man in a brown short jacket, and said, "Go to the carriage and take Mama Qiao and the others back to the General's Mansion yourself. Be careful on the way, and you must deliver them properly."

     The middle-aged man, namely Zheng Er, immediately saluted and said: "Yes, I have recorded it." Then he turned around and left the main room, and went to the carriage.

     Mother Qiao thanked Jiang Chenghan and Yan Jingshu a thousand times, and then went back to the house where they lived to pack their things.

     The outsiders had left, and only his own people were left. Jiang Chenghan pointed out to Yan Jingshu the two boys he had bought. They were both about seventeen or eighteen years old. The taller one was Fang Ping, and the fatter one was Lin Dong. , It seems that they are all honest people.

     As usual, Yan Jingshu also gave each of them a red envelope, and then introduced her dowry to Jiang Chenghan.

     In addition to Zheng Er who took the errand and left, there were two maidservants who served her personally, one named Wenjin and the other Wenxiu, who were originally the two most skilled in the embroidery room of the Duke's Mansion.

     Because Yan Jingshu didn't learn how to work as a female worker, Mrs. Yan specially selected these two people for her. Whether it's making clothes, mending or cutting them in the future, it will save the need to find outside tailors, which is inconvenient and worry-free.

     In addition to these two little maids, there is also a middle-aged woman in her forties, Zheng Shi, and a young man in her twenties, Zheng Hu.

     Mrs. Zheng has good cooking skills. Mrs. Yan thought that Yan Jingshu might not be used to the local food when she arrived in Ningcheng in the future, so she chose her out. She also saw that her husband was good at raising horses and driving carts, and her son Zheng Hu was also smart and capable. It was just right to run errands for Yan Jingshu in the future, so he gave the whole family to Yan Jingshu.

     The five dowry servants, compared with the married sons of the Duke's Mansion in the past, can be said to be shabby. But the Jiang family has a small population, so they don't need too many servants, and Yan Jingshu is still thinking about the people Jiang Chenghan bought to serve him when he was in Ningcheng in his previous life, and he wants to get these people back, so he persuades him After seeing Mrs. Yan, he didn't arrange too much dowry for him.

     After identifying the people, Yan Jingshu asked these people to retreat and go to their own business, while he and Jiang Chenghan returned to the new house.

     Then Yan Jingshu took out the huanghuali box containing her dowry list and other books, opened it, took out the contents and put them in front of Jiang Chenghan, and said: "These are my dowry, do you want to have a look?"

     Jiang Chenghan said with a smile: "Your things, you just keep them by yourself, don't show them to me."

     Yan Jingshu nodded, but said: "If you don't read it, then I'll read it to you. Well, I won't talk about the trivial things like clothes, fabrics, jewelry, etc. Back then, there were six thousand six hundred taels in the dowry you gave The dowry money, my grandmother added all the money into my silver box, and finally put it together, a total of 30,000 taels. In addition, there are two houses in Beijing, one for two people, and the other for five Jin, the one hundred and eight pieces of huanghuali and rosewood furniture and some large and heavy decorations on the dowry list are now placed in this Wujin house. Grandma said, if we can go back to Beijing in the future, we will Just live in that five-in-one house.
