Chapter 106: Dowry
Zhao'er was frightened by the sound, but fortunately the soup didn't spill this time. She stopped and looked back to see that it was Baguio. whispered:
"Sister Baguio, because I was afraid that the soup would spill, I walked slower. ”
"Alright, got it, let's go. ”
When he arrived in the courtyard, Baguio saw Zhao'er put the bowl with the upside-down spoon in front of Saitama, so he relieved his heart, talked and laughed with Qiying and the others, and hurried to find the Liu family to restore his life.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the old lady's room to talk to her, and today was also the day of the dowry gift from the Kokugong Mansion, and everyone had their own thoughts and wanted to see the dowry from the Kokufu to Saitama.
Zhang Hou received a report from his subordinates, saying that the person who gave the dowry gift from the Guogong Mansion had arrived, and hurriedly went out to greet him. When he received the dowry list from the hand of the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he didn't expect the Guogong Mansion to be so generous, a full forty-eight dowry, delicacies from the mountains and seas, tea and candy, clothing and gold ornaments, all of which were refined. Such a dowry is enough to marry the wife of the prince.
At this time, the steward of the Guogong Mansion said:
"When the villain came, Grandpa Guo specially ordered to thank Master Zhang," Zhang Hou was puzzled and looked at him with an inquiring eye.
"That's the case, our son has news, and the grandfather and wife of the country are happy to specially order that twelve dowry gifts be added. Let the villain replace them, thank Master Zhang for agreeing to the marriage at that time. ”
Zhang Hou was suddenly happy, but also a little disappointed. Happily, the grandfather of the country must look at himself differently, and the loss is that Saitama has no chance with Mrs. Shiko after all. But after all, he is a person who has lived in officialdom for a long time, and his face is still very powerful, so that people can't see any flaws. He greeted the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion with a smile on his face, and ordered the dowry to be carried into the inner house for the old lady to see.
When boxes of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, and delicacies were carried into Zhengdetang, everyone looked at the dowry piled up throughout Zhengdetang like a flowing water, and they couldn't close their mouths in surprise. Such a dowry is also counted in the capital, but I didn't expect the Guogong Mansion to be so generous.
The Liu clan remembered that the Chu family's dowry that day had barely made up thirty-six lifts, and neither the number nor the degree of delicacy could be compared to this, and the guilt for Saitama had long been replaced by that strong jealousy.
Everyone was looking at these dowry, and no one noticed that Qi Jiao's hands were clenched into fists, which should have belonged to her, but now they were all taken away. Why is Saitama always so lucky that she can sit here and enjoy the glory when she can only go to the draft.
When everyone heard that it was because of the news of the prince that the Guogong Mansion increased the dowry to forty-eight in order to show gratitude, Qi Jiao could barely control herself, she bit her lip tightly, fortunately everyone was busy watching the dowry, and no one noticed her.
When she first heard the news of Li Duan's disappearance, she was still a little sad in her heart, but now that she heard the news that he was safe, that little bit of sadness was replaced by strong hatred. It's all him, who gave himself the illusion and ruined it with his own hands. Why did he come back? Only his death could pay for what was owed to her. But it's okay, the two people she hates the most are in the Guogong Mansion, she must destroy them, Qi Jiao secretly swore in her heart.
Saitama looked at this dowry, but there was not the slightest joy in her heart, but a sense of fear, because it meant that the day was coming soon, although she comforted the old lady that she would definitely work hard to live, but in fact she was not ready. Especially after that night, Li Yi's face is not in his mind, lingering. She doesn't know what to do in the future, thinking about one person and then living with another person, she will break down.
After the old lady ordered someone to receive the dowry in the treasury, only the Liu family was left behind, and the others retreated first. The Saitama sisters left the Zhengtokudo Hall, and everyone had their own thoughts, and Saiying said:
"Second sister, if there is nothing to do, I want you to sit down, there is something I want to say to you?" After speaking, she looked at Saitama, and Saitama didn't know what Qi Ying was looking for her, so she nodded, anyway, she would be cranky when she sat alone.
Qi Ying invited Qi Jiao and Qi Yun: "The third sister and the fourth sister are also together." They knew that Qi Ying was just a false invitation, so they said:
"Our two sisters have something to say, so we won't bother. Qi Ying smiled and didn't refute. At the fork in the road, the four separated. Qi Ying directly pulled Saitama into her yard.
Qi Ying dismissed all the maids and took Saitama to the inner room. Saitama saw at a glance that the red wedding dress was so red and dazzling. The embroidery in front of the window is an unfinished picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Yes, this is what a woman-to-be-marry boudoir should look like, and what about her own? Saitama couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Qi Ying looked at Sai Yu staring at her wedding dress, and was also a little embarrassed, she had also heard about Saitama's family affairs, and knew that Sai Yu was unwilling, but she couldn't help it. For Saitama, Saiying also felt a little guilty, so she wanted to talk to Saitama before she got married. She pulled Saitama to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Saitama, and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Sister, I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I haven't been able to save face. After all, my family ......" Saitama immediately interrupted Saiying's words,
"Mrs. Chu is interested in her sister's character, and besides, getting married is something you and I want, so sister must not be presumptuous. ”
"Sister, but my mother really shouldn't have agreed to this. ”
"Sister, I didn't take this matter to heart. You see, it's not good to marry into the Guogong Mansion, at least those dowries are enough for me to spend in my life. Saitama said with a smile, but Saiying noticed that there was no smile in Saitama's eyes. She sighed to herself:
"Sister, if we get married in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again. So my sister invited you here today to apologize to you for your mother, I don't know if you can accept it?" Qi Ying said this, and looked at Saitama with expectant eyes. Saitama looked at Qi Ying, and somehow, as soon as her nose was sore, she burst into tears. She said with a little choked up:
"Sister, sister has never blamed you, we will still be good sisters in the future. Listening to Saitama's words, Sai Ying also felt that the big stone that had been pressing on her heart these days had fallen to the ground, and she clenched Saitama's hands and said:
"Yes, we've always been good sisters!"
Sai Ying got up and walked to the side of the bed, took a bag and handed it to Saitama.
"Sister, this is for you. Saitama took it and untied it, and it turned out to be a big red quilt with exquisite embroidery, and the little dolls on it were vivid and vivid, with different expressions.
"Sister, this is?"
"Sister knows, you must not have the patience to embroider this, so I embroidered two beds, one for each of us, even if my sister added makeup to you. Qi Ying looked at her with a smile after speaking. Saitama looked at the delicate embroidery and knew that it could not be completed in one or two days, which showed that Qiying had also spent a lot of time and thought, and her heart was moved.
"Sister!" the two sisters finally dissipated the mustard in their hearts.
