Chapter 137: A Bleak Marriage
When the Feng family's three hundred taels were sent to the Bai family, the Li family could see what the Feng family meant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, now the White Lotus is still in the name of Huan Niang!
She didn't say much to Mrs. Wang, and directly called someone to invite Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai, together with the two old ladies in the clan, to gather at the Bai family.
Let Mrs. Wang say the Feng family's requirements in front of these people, and then close the door and make it clear.
"At the beginning, it was also the old lady's idea to let me be this family, but now the Feng family's dowry, this style, the daughter-in-law thinks it is inappropriate, if the old lady and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are reluctant, we will immediately withdraw from this family business, and it is too late for the old lady to take an idea, and the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle will be a witness!"
Li's words were above board and sonorous, and the two old ladies nodded again and again: "Bingxiong's daughter-in-law is right, although the lotus is not your own, it is rare that you can consider her like this!"
But the faces of the old lady and the eldest family are not so good-looking.
If you say that you have had a dream for such a while, and now you want to make Master Bai and Mrs. Bai give up this family business, it is really difficult to go to the sky!
Speaking of the White Lotus, it is even more unbelievable, and I have any taste in my heart.
Isn't this Feng family a big family, isn't Feng Shilang the son-in-law of the servant of the Ministry of Non-Officials, how can he be so stingy?
If her white lotus is not good, it will be so cheap! The thousands of taels of dowry she expected, the beautiful welcome, there is actually nothing!
But if she wants to say with great ambition, if this family affair is not over, it will never be possible!
White Lotus started crying again, feeling that her heart was about to break, why did she come to embarrass her, why did she come to bully her?
Seeing that the eldest granddaughter on the tip of her heart was crying, the old lady Bai stopped doing it first: "Li, look at what you said, get married, both families let this, otherwise how can this family be successful?"
While reprimanding the Li family, he took the hand of the white lotus and persuaded: "My good lotus, don't you cry, isn't the Feng family far away, I don't know the rules here, three hundred taels, it's a lot, and then let your mother add some to you, you married the young grandmother of the main house, who dares to treat you badly?
White Lotus couldn't help but be disappointed, originally listening to these words, she thought that the old lady would add some dowry to her, but it turned out to be an empty word, and her mother, Li said that she would deduct half of the dowry!
The two old ladies were simply dumbfounded when they heard what Old Lady Bai said, and there was such an explanation?
"What does the old lady mean, is this family affair like this?
Li turned to ask the two.
Old Man Bai and Mrs. Bai were a little dodgy under Li's gaze.
"This matter, this matter, the old lady is in charge...... The Feng family's family business, if it is gone, it is difficult to find such a good one......"
The two said that they were expected to be Ai Ai, but Li still understood.
"Since that's the case, then the eldest brother and sister-in-law mean not to retreat?"
The two were silent, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Li Shi turned his head to look at the white lotus again: "Lotus, this is your lifelong event, although it is said that the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, but my mother still wants to ask you, so far, are you willing or unwilling? If you don't want to, I will make the decision for you, and it is not in vain that you call me my mother for a few days." ”
White Lotus looked at Li's seemingly calm, but actually concerned face, and suddenly felt a little dazed in her heart, at this time, shouldn't it be her own mother who said this?
Unwilling...... Her great future, her glory and wealth, are at her fingertips, and if she misses the Feng family, she may not be able to meet a better one in this life!
"Daughter, daughter listens to grandmother. The White Lotus finally said this, bowing her head and saying no more.
Li retracted his gaze and sighed in his heart.
"That being the case, let's be a witness to the two old ladies, and after that, Lotus went to the Feng family, whether she was doing well or not, and she had nothing to do with others!"
White Lotus was a little angry again, what did this mean, was she cursing her for a bad life in the future?
The slightest bit of her emotion towards the Li family immediately disappeared.
The Li family didn't care about them anymore, so he went back to Mrs. Wang's words, and said that he would come to carry people on the second day.
When everyone dispersed, Li couldn't help but smile bitterly at Bai Chenghuan.
"All of them are crazy, even if they are carried to be concubines, they are not so rushed!"
Bai Chenghuan only smiled and didn't answer.
is in such a hurry, except for Chongxi, the groom can't wait, it can only be for the will of the draft.
The will that should have come in these two days, but it was delayed, I am afraid that it is related to the Feng family.
On the second day, the Feng family came early to carry people.
Although the time is urgent, the White Lotus is already eighteen, and the wedding dress has been embroidered early, and the curtain is also covered, but it is useless for the Li family to bother.
Before going out, the people from the big house of the Bai family also came to see each other.
Bai Lianpeng looked at a big red wedding dress, although the scene couldn't be more deserted, but it was still a smiling sister, her heart was at a loss, and she didn't say anything.
The old lady and the big lady Bai took the hand of the white lotus and shed a few tears, but in the end, they only gave the white lotus ten taels of silver, which made the white lotus's face very gloomy for a while.
Master Bai and the two brothers and sisters-in-law of White Lotus didn't see much reluctance on their faces, and only earnestly told them not to forget their mother's family if they got married, and the two sisters-in-law even breathed a sigh of relief, and without the instigation of this sister-in-law in the future, life in the hands of her mother-in-law would be better.
It wasn't until he went out that Li looked at the White Lotus and said with a smile: "I said before that I would deduct half of the dowry, which also scared you, no matter what you think, the third aunt is also looking forward to your good, the three hundred taels of dowry will be brought to you, and I have added some jewelry and fifty taels of silver, you go to such a far place, take care of yourself, take care." ”
White Lotus was stunned, this third aunt actually gave her a dowry?
But she was about to run towards a splendid future, and she had no time to care about Li's kindness, so she only made a hasty salute and got into the sedan chair and left.
Because it was in the filial piety period, the Feng family didn't use the drums and firecrackers, and there were no guests who came to see them off, there was no lively scene, everything that White Lotus had dreamed of, except for the wedding dress that she sewed with her own hands, there was nothing.
A cyan sedan chair and a team of escorted subordinates left the sight of the Bai family and Hongnong County.
Many years later, when White Lotus was still struggling with pain and hardship, she would think of everything that had been bleak on the day of her wedding.
It seems that among the flesh and blood relatives who gave her that day, the only person who paid attention to her was the Li family, but the White Lotus at this time, how could she understand?
When the group passed by the capital city of Yuzhou and went to the capital, the Wang family sent a steward to follow, and jokingly asked Feng Jinniang if she wanted to send this Bai Huanniang, and Feng Jinniang got a roll of the eyes: "Mother, I am so embarrassed that Bai Huanniang is still thinking about marrying the fourth brother, my errand is over, who still wants to see her!
When Wang heard this, he hugged his daughter and giggled. (To be continued.) )
