402 Dowry (2)
"What is this?"
Shao Jin looked at the brocade box in surprise.
Feng Qizhou smiled and said, "Open it and take a look." ”
Shao Jinyan put down the book in his hand when he heard this, opened the long brocade box on the table, and saw a picture scroll in the long brocade box, and a few books with yellowed skin were placed inside.
Shao Jin looked at Feng Qizhou with some confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Feng Qizhou chuckled and said: "This painting is Xu Fuzi's authentic Wanhe Chaoyang Picture, which Qingqing got back earlier, and this box contains several ancient books of the previous dynasty that I inadvertently obtained, although these things are not gold and silver, but in the eyes of those who value it, it is more valuable than gold and silver, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a lot of money." ”
"Your father and mother will enter Beijing in a few days, and when the time comes to go to Guo's house to say goodbye, in order to avoid suspicion, I can't go as your elder, and these things will be given to you by my cousin. ”
Shao Jin was surprised when he heard this, even if he didn't know how to do it, he knew that a genuine handiwork of Master Xu was hard to find, not to mention that there were these ancient books, it was definitely not a simple thing that could make Feng Qizhou cherish it so much.
He hurriedly said: "This is unacceptable, the dowry for the Guo family father They have already prepared, these things are too valuable, I can't accept them." ”
Feng Qizhou looked at him and said: "I know that you will prepare a dowry, and the Weng family has been in business for many years, and the family has a solid background, so there will be no shortage of things that will be used as a dowry, but Shao Jin, these are not only my intentions, but also the confidence for you to go to the Guo family to ask for marriage." ”
"You see, Lingsi's marriage is different from others. ”
Feng Qizhou didn't say anything good to whitewash the peace, but said very bluntly: "Ling Si was involved with the Wen family before, and then he was hurt by the Wen family's kid and damaged his reputation one after another, although you don't care about this matter, it doesn't mean that these things haven't happened." ”
"The Guo family is a face-heavy family, the nobles and magnates in the capital, and the clans are all people who are accustomed to praising the high and stepping on the low, although the Weng family is located in Hefu County, but you will stay in the capital after you get married, have you ever thought that when Ling Si becomes your wife, you will have to interact with other ladies, even if it is due to your current identity, those people who marry Ling Si dare not say anything openly, and they will inevitably point fingers secretly, embarrassing Ling Si and the Guo family. ”
"I can see that you are sincere to Lingsi's child, since this is the case, it is natural to marry her back in the most beautiful way, not only to block the mouths of outsiders, but also to let the Guo family know that you value Guo Lingsi and this family business. ”
"The Guo family has always been based on literati and pursued the golden mean, and the whole clan follows Confucianism, and Xu Fuzi is a Confucianist master. These two things are not handed over to Ling Si, but transferred to the Guo family by the hands of Guo Ge Lao, although it is a bit vulgar to barter things, but you want to marry the Guo family, and you will continue to associate with the Guo family in the future, with these two things, you can let the Guo family see clearly what you value Ling Si, and it can also make those who disagree with the Guo family shut up, why not?"
Shao Jin listened to Feng Qizhou's words, and also understood that although Feng Qizhou's words were complicated, there was only one meaning in his words.
These two things are for him, for Guo Lingsi and Guo Ge Lao and others, the literati family does not value gold and silver, but they attach great importance to these things, if they can take these two things and add them to the dowry, they will definitely let everyone in the Guo family know that he values Guo Lingsi.
In this world, the woman Yin Rong relies on her parents at home, and she relies on her husband when she gets married, what is more important than her husband to give a woman the confidence to gain a foothold?
But......
Shao Jin hesitated: "This thing should be left to Qingqing ......"
Feng Qiao is over eleven years old, and he should be married in three years.
Feng Qizhou glanced at Shao Jin quite strangely when he heard this, and then looked at him from beginning to end, and finally his gaze fell on his face, and he looked at Shao Jin's hair all over his body, thinking that he had something on his face, and couldn't help touching his face.
What's wrong, he just said the wrong thing?
Feng Qizhou pouted, and looked at him with a "mentally retarded" expression: "Do you think that what I left for Qingqing will be worse than what I gave you?"
Qingqing is his daughter, Shao Jin is just a cheap cousin who hasn't shown up for more than 20 years, giving two things to raise his face, and by the way, supporting Guo Lingsi, who has always been Qingqing's sister, to support his face, and slap the old-fashioned face of the Guo family, how can he make this kid think so much, thinking that he has taken out all the family resources for him?
Feng Qizhou closed the lid of the brocade box and patted Shao Jin's shoulder casually: "Don't think too much, I still have a lot of this thing in my house." ”
Shao Jin listened to Feng Qizhou's words, and clearly saw his doubts about his IQ in the eyes of his cheap cousin.
He disappeared in an instant because of the emotion that Feng Qizhou gave him just now, and looked down at the "priceless" calligraphy and paintings on the table, and only the feeling of a dog was left in his heart.
knew that Feng Qizhou only had his baby pimple girl in his heart.
What the hell was he just touched?!
-------------
Outside the study, Feng Qiao and Liao Chuxiu were standing under the porch, and when the night breeze blew, Feng Qiao's soft hair falling from his hair was blown down to his eyes.
She shrunk her neck into the collar for fear of the cold, her hair was wrapped around her eyes but she didn't want to reach out to pull it, so she pouted and blew it upward, and the green silk that was blown fluttered in front of her big eyes, and she was naughty and didn't let go.
Seeing this, Liao Chuxiu's fingers were a little itchy, and seeing that she hadn't been able to blow the strands of hair away several times, and was disturbed to blink all the time, he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers to hook up the strands of hair with a little smile, wrap them around behind her ears, and then said, "Why are you so lazy?"
Feng Qiao snorted, avoided Liao Chuxiu's hand, and glared at him: "Men and women don't kiss." ”
She remembered what this guy said that day on the city wall.
Although Liao Chuxiu didn't mention it again afterwards, although he kept looking at her every time he saw her, he didn't go crazy like that day, but when he thought of what he was laughing at and saying that they would have a lifetime to get along well, Feng Qiao couldn't help but shudder.
She has never planned Liao Chuxiu in her life, let alone planned to go down with him.
It was hard for her to imagine what it would be like for her and Liao Chuxiu to live together for the rest of their lives.
Liao Chuxiu saw Feng Qiao's wrinkled nose and snorting, he didn't know that he had already been excluded from Feng Qiao's "life plan", his whole body leaned forward, and his handsome face came directly in front of Feng Qiao's eyes, and the bridge of his tall nose almost hit her.
