Speaking of this, He Zhiran really didn't have anything like bills.
She was not good at doing business or managing money. The reason she was able to develop some money-making businesses in this era was simply that she took advantage of her soul crossing over.
In the past when sending money home to her family, she would only roughly keep track of the household income and then distribute a portion to each person, keeping the rest as the public account for the household.
She didn't have an exact number for this public account, after all, recent expenses were greater than income.
For example, she had built eleven siheyuan and breeding farms, and invested in many other things. There were a lot more, she was just too lazy to keep records since that space money could cover it all.
When the sisters-in-law heard He Zhiran's meaning that the jewelry prepared for Mo Hanyue came from the household public account, they no longer competed to chip in.
If He Zhiran said this, it could make the sisters-in-law believe it, but it couldn't fool Old Lady Mo.
Although the Guogong fu didn't have a lot of money and valuables in the past, the old lady had been running the household for many years. Now she had a rough idea in her heart of the profits from the various businesses in the household, even without detailed numbers.
He Zhiran was determined to give these pieces of jewelry to Mo Hanyue as her dowry, leaving no room for objection as she opened the box.
She said it was a small box, but it was actually the size of a modern shoebox.
Inside was full of various gold and silver jewelry.
Things made with modern techniques, whether in quality or appearance, could dazzle anyone's eyes.
He Zhiran took out a solid style peony flower pendant yellow gold necklace, and tried it in front of Mo Hanyue's neck.
"This will look very good worn outside the wedding dress."
Right after, she also took out a pair of peony flower earrings in the same style as the pendant on the necklace.
"These earrings match the necklace perfectly. Hanyue will be able to entrance her husband on her wedding day wearing these."
Although He Zhiran's words were a bit exaggerated, there was some truth to them.
The style of the necklace and earrings was simply shocking to all the women. Even Old Lady Mo who had just tried to stop her was wide-eyed.
"Jiuye, did you buy these jewelry pieces in the city?"
Old Lady Mo knew her son had gone into the city today to purchase them, thus the question.
In her understanding, not to mention in the barren northwest, even in the best jewelry store in the capital city, it would be impossible to find such high quality jewelry with such beautiful styles.
These pieces were all selected by He Zhiran. She intentionally didn't choose anything too unusual, precisely because she didn't want others to question them.
She didn't expect that these things would still astonish her mother-in-law.
Seeing Mo Jiuye at a loss for how to explain for the moment, she took the initiative to say, "Mother, I drew the designs for these jewelry pieces during my free time, and had my husband go commission them from a jewelry shop in the city recently."
Saying it this way, Old Lady Mo actually believed it somewhat.
This ninth daughter-in-law of hers had an exceptionally good mind, and could come up with novel ideas from time to time. It was not too surprising that she could draw such beautiful jewelry designs.
However, she still could not accept a whole box full of gold and silver jewelry.
"Hanyue's dowry is too valuable. Even using the silver from our public accounts is not acceptable."
If it were in the past, He Zhiran would also have listened to her mother-in-law's words, but since these things were already prepared, how could she not give them out?
Moreover, she had been in the ancient era for so long, and this was the first time she had the opportunity to splurge on the money from her space. How could she let it end in failure?
He Zhiran didn't say anything, but continued taking pieces of jewelry out of the box to try in front of Mo Hanyue.
At this time, the sisters-in-law had already been attracted by the beautiful jewelry He Zhiran took out. Even Mo Hanyue, the main character herself, was not immune.
But deep down, she still maintained her original intention that no matter how much she liked the jewelry, she could not let the family spend so much on her account.
The sisters-in-law kept praising how beautiful Mo Hanyue looked wearing these jewelry pieces, to the point they had already overlooked the value.
"Hanyue, this red gemstone bracelet is so pretty."
"Our Hanyue's skin is fair, she looks good wearing anything."
"Hanyue, look at this one. Although it's made of silver, it shines brighter than the clumsy hairpin on Second Sister-in-law's head."
"Are the stones on this ring yellow gold with inlaid jade?"
"Quick, look, this little jade frog is so cute, with gemstones dotted on it too."
"..."
In that moment, the room of the elder couple was filled with the sisters-in-law's praises for how beautiful the jewelry was.
He Zhiran had expected women would like these things, but didn't think they would cause such a sensation when they appeared.
Old Lady Mo watched as her daughters-in-law went back and forth, and didn't know what to say anymore.
Mo Qing kept signalling to his old wife with his eyes for her to hurry up and get control of the situation.
Old Lady Mo took a deep breath. "Alright, you married-in sisters need to stop urging this on."
The sisters-in-law were happily fiddling with the beautiful jewelry at this time. When they heard Mother-in-law speak, Second Sister-in-law laughingly responded.
"Mother, jewelry like this isn't something ordinary people can own. Having these as her dowry is not just for Hanyue's dignity, but also our Mo family's dignity.
Since Ninth Younger Sister has already said the money to buy the jewelry came from our public accounts, why not just fulfill Ninth Younger Sister's good intentions, and also let Hanyue leave home for marriage in glory with these pieces."
Second Sister-in-law opened the conversation, and Eldest Sister-in-law also agreed, "Mother, what Second Sister-in-law said is right. I have no objections to using the public account silver. "
Seeing this, the other women also voiced their approval of using the household public funds to prepare the dowry jewelry for Mo Hanyue.
At worst, they could just work harder later to earn back the amount. Right now, the business selling cold rabbit meat and long-eared rabbit pendants were very stable.
Not only so, the rabbits bred extremely quickly at home, so there was no need to worry about running out of materials.
Seeing the sisters-in-law finally take her side, He Zhiran seized the chance to say, "Mother, you see the sisters-in-law have no objections. Please don't worry yourself over this. I guarantee I will earn back the money for these jewelry pieces as quickly as possible."
Having seen the sisters-in-law's enthusiasm for the jewelry just now, He Zhiran already had new ideas to make money.
There were molds for making gold and silver jewelry for sale on Taobao Mall. She remembered when she was little, taking shelter from the rain in a shop that processed gold and silver jewelry. At that time the owner happened to be helping a customer make a bracelet.
The bracelet had beautiful engraved patterns on it. While not too unique if placed in modern times, it would be different in ancient times.
The effect would be the same as the pieces she gave Mo Hanyue today as dowry, very eye-catching.
She was bored waiting for the rain to stop and watched the owner make jewelry the whole time. She still roughly remembered the process. If she purchased various molds on Taobao Mall, and made beautiful jewelry, it would definitely create more profits.
Especially since the family would be raising an army soon, expenses would surely not be small.
Just feeding a thousand-some men was already a considerable expenditure.
