Chapter Seventy-One: Marriage Proposal
Mu Zigui touched his chin, "What does Aunt Fourth think?"
Zhen Mingjie pursed his mouth, "Where can my family be allowed to have any ideas about this matter now, if you don't want the ninth sister to be wronged, you can't say that you can only let the ninth sister marry far away, but I'm afraid it's more worrying in this way." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info You also know, my ninth sister can be said to have let my parents protect too well, her temperament can't be said to be bad, after all, it can also be said to be gentle and generous, but it's too soft, I'm afraid that my mother is not at ease. ”
Mu Zigui raised his eyebrows, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Your ninth sister's temperament was not soft at all yesterday?"
Zhen Mingjie slapped his forehead, "Don't mention yesterday's incident, that should be the boldest thing in her life." However, this also made me realize that my ninth sister's temperament still has a stubborn side. She has been protecting her shortcomings since she was a child, and she doesn't want to change what she believes, you look at Brother Xiu'er, don't look at that naughty and mischievous appearance, but the most convincing is the ninth sister, and she listens to her the most. Just because the ninth sister carried the black pot for him when he was a child, he never confessed to him, but he was trained by the ninth sister afterwards, and he was able to listen obediently. ”
Mu Zigui nodded, remembering the scene he just came back to see last year, Brother Xiu'er is such a rebellious person but willing to wear a red suit, it can be seen that he really has a good relationship with his sister, so he will tolerate it in every way. "Brother Xiu'er's relationship with the ninth sister looks even better than your eldest brother's. ”
"They're twin siblings, so it's natural for them to have a good relationship. Besides, I'm a few years older than them, and I'm just satisfied that I can take care of them and guide them in the right way of doing things. ”
Mu Zigui looked at Zhen Mingjie with a little envy, this kind of feeling was something he had never experienced, and he had no way to experience it, but it did not prevent him from appreciating and envying this feeling. A sentence came out of the mouth of the god envoy, "If you don't trust me, I will take the matchmaker to your house tomorrow to propose marriage." ”
Zhen Mingjie was stunned, staring at Mu Zigui for a moment, "Are you sincere?"
Mu Zigui was stunned for a moment at first, but when he said that, there was no regret in his heart, so he smiled, "What do you think?"
Zhen Mingjie swallowed his saliva, "Yinshan, you should know that I'm the ninth sister, she is really good, so I hope she can be happy and safe in the future." ”
Mu Zigui also smiled: "I can't guarantee what will happen to her in the future, but as long as I am in her life, it will be like living in Zhen Mansion." ”
Zhen Mingjie suddenly felt a sense of tears, this little sister who made her mother worry the most finally found a home, and her softness and docility in the future will be cared for and enjoyed by another man, fortunately, this man is his best friend, a friend who is as close as a brother.
Bowed deeply, "Then the sister will be entrusted to Yinshan." ”
Mu Zigui nodded, stretched out his hand to help him up, the smile on his face was like spring sunshine, which Zhen Mingjie had never seen, but after seeing it, his heart was unprecedentedly settled.
Early the next morning, Mu Zigui invited the official media to go to Zhen's Mansion with four-color gifts, and the place to meet was naturally in Changkang Academy, and even the old lady Zhen, who didn't see guests on weekdays, came. The meeting didn't last long, and the fourth master and the Zhen brothers took Muzi back to the front yard to drink, leaving Mama Rong to accompany the ladies of the Zhen Mansion in Changkang Hospital.
The fourth wife pinched the eight-character red paper with Mu Zigui written in her hand, and her heart was full of disbelief, this matter was actually done like this, and Sister Wan'er's marriage was decided.
In a short period of time, the marriages of the three daughters of the Zhen Mansion seem to have been settled, which makes the women of the Zhen family who sent away the people in the Mu Mansion have mixed joys and sorrows.
The eldest lady's eyes rolled around on everyone's faces, and she was only expected to look at the old lady, "Mother, this Qi Niang, Eight Niang and Jiu Niang have set up family affairs at the same time, and this house is a little tight." ”
As soon as she heard this, the second wife was reluctant, "Sister-in-law, when Sister Yuan came out of the cabinet, if I remember correctly, it seems to be seventy-two dowries." ”
The eldest lady gasped, "Sister Yuan is the eldest granddaughter of our house, and she is also married to the son of Langzhong, and the dowry given by the Li Mansion back then was worth two thousand taels, these are comparable to the eighth sister?"
The second wife was stubborn, and she pushed it out straight, "So what, my family Wen Yi is going to marry the heir of the head of the Jia Mansion, Jia Fourth Master, that is last year's Xie Yuan Master, is it not as good as the son of the Ministry of Langzhong? If the dowry is less, how can my family Wen Yi meet people? And how do the people of Qinghe City evaluate our Zhen Mansion?"
The eldest lady snorted coldly, "Don't let the old man call him affectionately, Najia Mansion hasn't invited a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage so far, maybe something has changed, don't talk about this marriage word too early." ”
The second wife's face turned white in an instant, the reason why everyone in Zhen Mansion has gathered neatly in the past two days is that the most important thing is that they are waiting for Jiafu to come to the door to propose marriage, who knows that Jiafu did not wait to come to Mufu, the second master of the township test. "Jia Mansion must not be ready to come today, their family has a big business, and there must be a lot of exquisiteness, so it will drag on for some time, the day before yesterday, Mrs. Jia promised it in person, and I don't think they have the face to change the hexagram. ”
The corners of the eldest lady's mouth twitched, but she didn't say half a word, if the eighth sister really married into Jiafu, there would be no time to deal with or even need to tie the knots in the future, there was no need to offend people at this time.
The fourth wife looked at the change in the expressions of the two and raised her eyebrows, well, the second wife finally sobered up at a critical moment.
The old lady sat on a high place, naturally taking in the looks of several daughters-in-law, turning the Buddha beads in her left hand, and looked at the fourth wife, "Fourth daughter-in-law, what do you say?"
The fourth lady smiled, "The amount of this dowry is also what the mother said, and the daughter-in-law naturally has no opinion." Sister Ru's husband is a relative of the Zhang family's uncle, and it is also close to us to marry us, plus the son of Qi is good at school, but the family background is slightly weaker, but Sister Ru is just a concubine, and how much dowry should be given depends on the mother. Sister Zhiwan, she is not in a hurry, she can wait for another two years, I think that at that time, Mu Gongzi will not be able to run away as a jinshi, and the dowry that should be given will not be less. There are still two years to plan, and by that time, the family estimates that there should be a lot of relief. ”
The eldest lady's face stiffened, and her eyes were a little unkind, this time the house had to give three dowries, and two of them were spent in the four rooms, and the four wives chose a husband for their daughters and went to the top to choose, and a concubine chose a lifter, or a poor man, which made her feel calm. What do you say about kissing and kissing, it's just that you want the old lady to accompany her mother's family with more dowry. As for Sister Wan'er, she said that she would wait for two years, but when Muzi returned to Jinshi, wouldn't her already solid family be richer, and then the dowry would only be covered by Jiafu, and it would take two years to plan, how much dowry would she want to accompany her?
Let's just say that the most shrewd person in this house is the four-room one, and he has a good abacus, that is, he wants face and lining.
