Chapter 503: Before Marriage
Mrs. Ho immediately extinguished the fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She thought that she still had three or four thousand taels of silver in her hand, and even if Uncle He didn't pay back the silver for a while, she would be enough, so she didn't go any further to investigate the silver placed in Uncle He's place.
But Uncle He's wife was afraid that the Li family would misunderstand, so after returning home, she urged Uncle He to see Li Changqing, told Li Changqing everything that happened just now, and said: "I only have one daughter, Tong Niang, she is married, and I have nothing to use silver." Don't worry, I won't touch a penny of my sister's dowry, just put it here for the time being. If you don't feel at ease, you can ask someone in the accounting room to come to me every month to check the accounts. ”
"How could I not believe you!" Li Changqing looked at Uncle He with sincere eyes, and said sincerely, "Speaking of which, this matter is all my fault. If I hadn't been able to govern my family, where would I have made you carry this black cauldron. But I can't help it, I can't let her make jokes and delay the future of the sect, right? Since my wife married into our family, I have helped the Li family a lot, and I have kept it in my heart. This time I can only trouble you again, just wait for Ah Ju to marry his daughter-in-law. ”
The implication is to hand over the matter of the Li Mansion to Li Ju's daughter-in-law.
Uncle He was surprised.
Li Changqing explained: "After all, the county lord is not an ordinary person, and he grew up pampered, so he can't let her preside over the feed, right?"
Uncle He thought of Xianjiang's recipe of not eating chicken and only drinking chicken soup, and felt that Li Changqing was reasonable. After Li Changqing's heartfelt words, he felt more and more that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he still had to help Li Changqing pick up the matter of restricting Mrs. He from spending money.
"Don't worry, uncle. He muttered, "I also know that money is human guts, my sister has done things a little out of line over the years, and it is related to the fact that my aunt treats her generously, and has never treated her badly in terms of food and clothing, and it is also related to her large amount of money in marriage." I will take care of her dowry, and I will definitely hand over her things to Ah Ju and Dong Solstice completely when the time comes. ”
Li Changqing thanked Uncle He and left Uncle He for lunch.
Mrs. He's anger came and went quickly, let Xiaosui close the door, and after counting her warehouse, she found that in addition to silver, there were also some red brocade boxes from Fujian, plum vase flowers from Jingdezhen's official kiln, and silk and satin from Jiangnan, which were enough for her to send people and give people a gift, and her heart calmed down again, and she went to the house of the winter solstice in person, and instructed the maid to clean the place where the winter solstice lived, no matter where she touched it, there was no dust, so she gave up.
After two or three days like this, Li Ji and the winter solstice arrived home.
Mrs. He was still very happy to see her daughter.
She greeted the winter solstice in front of the hanging flower gate.
The winter solstice was half a head taller than when I went, and the clothes I had made before could not be worn, so I got out of the carriage, wearing a gilded beaded flower bun, a silver-red charred cloth than a armor, a moon-white ink painted moonflower skirt, a straight waist, a calm demeanor, and an unhurried demeanor, so that Mrs. He almost couldn't recognize it.
"Winter solstice!" she called out to her daughter hesitantly.
Li Dongzhi smiled a little shyly.
Only then did she reveal a little bit of the appearance of the little girl from before.
"Winter solstice!" Mrs. He's tears fell suddenly, she took a few steps forward and hugged Li Dongzhi, and said urgently, "How are you in Xi'an? Do you miss your mother? Do you eat well? Is it difficult to do homework?"
Li Dongzhi hugged his mother's waist and said with a smile: "Everything is fine when I am there, you don't have to worry about me." My sister-in-law took good care of me and my second brother. ”
Mrs. He knew that Jiang Xian would not treat Li Dongzhi badly, but when her daughter arrived in front of her, she couldn't help but look Li Dongzhi up and down for a long time.
Li Ji, who followed the sedan chair, had the opportunity to come forward to salute Mrs. He.
Mrs. He looked at him with a smile, feeling that he hadn't seen him for a few months, and Li Ji had grown a little taller and looked more energetic.
She asked Li Ji a few words in a curt, and then sent Li Ji away: "Go wash and change your clothes! Your father heard that you have come back in the past two days, and the yamen has not gone, and has been waiting for you at home! When you have packed up, we will go together to greet your father." ”
Li Ji retreated.
During dinner, he ran into Li Lin, who was called back by Li Changqing.
Li Ji quietly teased Li Lin: "Sister-in-law hasn't entered the door yet, you have moved into a new house, are you too anxious?"
Li Lin gave Li Ji a punch and said with a smile: "What do children know? Don't laugh early!"
Li Ji smiled, and when he saw that Li Changqing had already sat down at the table, he smiled and sat down respectfully.
But after dinner, Li Ji and Li Lin quietly ran out for supper, and called out Li Lei, who was still in Taiyuan to attend Li Lin's wedding.
Everyone, you and I said a word, and only after drinking until midnight did they go to Li Lin's house on West Street, where there were no elders, to rest.
When they got up the next day, the three of them had a splitting headache, and they went to the Li Mansion in the back street of the General Soldier's Mansion at noon.
The matchmaker has already sent Gao Miaorong's dowry list over.
Mrs. He looked very happy.
Li Lin's wedding, the Quanfu person invited by the Li family was Li Changqing's sworn brother Zhu Chen, the wife of Zhu Wuye.
She pointed to Gao Miaorong's dowry list and said with honor: "Madam, look, there are still 300 books in Miss Gao's dowry?"
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. He said with a smile on her face, "This child has been a noble person since he was a child, he is proficient in reading, female celebrity, and everything, even if he gets married, he is also properly arranged." ”
Mrs. Zhu smiled and flattered Mrs. He: "Who said it wasn't! Otherwise, why would you love her like a daughter!"
Mrs. He was very proud.
Li Dongzhi, who had been sitting next to him drinking tea, suddenly said, "Is it Sister Gao's dowry list?"
Mrs. He said unhappily: "Little girl, what are you doing with these?"
If it was in the past, Li Dongzhi didn't know whether he was right or wrong, and he didn't dare to say more than one sentence. But she followed Jiang Xian for a while, Jiang Xian never cared about this, and asked if she felt that something was wrong, and if she asked, she had to follow her changes, and there was a kind of joy of reducing ten times with one force. So Li Dongzhi didn't pay attention to his mother's unhappiness, but said with a calm face: "Mother, it's better to show me." I don't think there's something right with this dowry list!"
Mrs. He and Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but look at each other.
Mrs. Zhu still cared about Li Dongzhi being the only eldest lady of the Li family, so she handed the dowry list to Li Dongzhi with a smile, and said to Mrs. He: "If you want to see it on the winter solstice, just show her! It is common for the little girl's family to be curious about what is written on the dowry list......
Li Zhidong ignored Mrs. He and Mrs. Zhu, took Gao Miaorong's dowry list at a glance, frowned before reading it, and pointed to the three hundred books and said, "Is this what our family requires?"
