Chanyi wanted to ask, but Xie Shi pursed his lips and smiled, refusing to say more.

Chanyi was flustered, could it be that her mother was going to kiss her?

Although the Zhu family is white, they are the head of the Great Yan Hongru, especially Zhu Lan and Zhu Bi, who are even more ambitious as young people, and they have won the top spot at a young age, and their future is immeasurable, how could they fall in love with her as the daughter of an inconspicuous four-rank dynasty official?

Wait, she seems to have missed something......

In this life, only she knows that Zhu Ling and Zhu Bi will be appointed by the emperor as champions and role models, but others don't know.

The current Zhu Ling and Zhu Bi are just two inconspicuous scholars, although they were born in the Zhu family, but they only have the fame of the people, if they really want to talk about it, her family's family background is just a match for the Zhu family, and Zhu Ling and Wang Lin are obviously the lintel of the Dingguo Mansion, and I don't know if the relatives can be negotiated.

Chanyi pursed her lips, feeling that it was not a way to go on like this, if she really made a family relationship with the Zhu family, she couldn't retreat without a reasonable reason.

How can I stop my mother from discussing marriage with the Zhu family?

She had a headache.

The carriage traveled about a cup of tea and returned to the summer mansion.

Chanyi planned to go to Fushoutang with Xie, but saw Zhang Shengquan being led over by the people in the family.

Seeing him, Chanyi's eyes lit up, before she asked Zhang Shengquan to go to Ningzhou and Wanzhou to collect rice and grain, it seems that there is news brought back.

She was anxious to listen to Zhang Shengquan's talk about rice grain, told Xie Shi, and took Zhang Shengquan to Lanxin Garden.

Zhang Shengquan's eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person looked very tired, but the smile on his face made it difficult to hide his joy when he saw it.

"Fortunately, I have lived up to the trust of Miss Wangzhou, three days ago I have negotiated with the grain merchants in Wanzhou, these days there will be a ship carrying rice grain to Yunzhou, I have entrusted the caravan, asked the people of the dart line to escort all the way, at most in seven days, the rice grain will be transported to Yunfu," he said, covering his mouth lightly, yawning, "This time the rice grain harvest is a little too much, we need to empty some warehouses to come out, otherwise the rice grain will be transported to have no place to put it, if it is windy and snowy weather, the rice grain will be moldy when it is damp, but it will be bad." ”

Chanyi nodded, no wonder this person can become the left and right hand of the grandmother's big shopkeeper, just because he is so careful and thoughtful, he is several times stronger than others.

"I'll discuss this matter with my grandmother, you go back first and have a good rest, you've worked hard for the past few days," she asked Jinping to fill some tea brought by Qiao's, and said to Zhang Shengquan with a smile: "I heard my grandmother say that Shopkeeper Zhang likes to drink oolong tea, this is the big red robe that my aunt brought back from Fujian, it tastes good, and Shopkeeper Zhang also took it back to taste it." ”

Zhang Shengquan knew that this was the second lady thanking him, so he took it without hesitation, turned around and went back to rest.

Chanyi got up and straightened her clothes and went to Fushoutang.

Old Madam Xia was discussing with the Xie family about the matter of having a Gengti with the Chengbohou Mansion.

"Since this family business is done, then it can't be taken too lightly, I have discussed it with Mrs. Cheng Bohou Mansion today, this matter is not too late, first pass the Geng post, settle down, if there is any gossip in the future, there is a countermeasure. ”

When Mrs. Xia said this, the expression on her face was obviously not very good, but she kept pressing it, and her expression was very strict.

Xie nodded and said, "I told you late a night earlier that you want to record Sister Xian'er in my name, so will this matter also be done?"

Although Xie was very reluctant in her heart, after all, it was a matter related to the reputation of the house, and she was not good at going her own way, if this matter affected her daughter's marriage, she would really lose more than she gained.

Mrs. Xia was hesitating about how to tell her daughter-in-law about this, but she didn't expect her daughter-in-law to mention it herself, so she nodded.

"Don't worry, when Sister Xian gets married, it's not too late for me to remember her name," Mrs. Xia touched the Buddha beads in her hand, paused, and finally couldn't help it, and said with a very bad face, "It's just that today Mrs. Cheng Bohou took Sister Xian's shortcomings, and asked our family to give more dowry silver, which is really a bit excessive!"

Xie Shi was stunned, and when he saw that Old Madam Xia's face was as disgusting as if she had swallowed a fly, she asked worriedly, "Mother, how much silver do they want us to marry?"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia felt that she had a breath in her heart and couldn't spit it out.

She didn't want to see Mrs. Cheng Bohou Su Shi in the first place, but today she found out that she was very slippery, opening and closing, as if she wanted to skin and pick up human bones, and she didn't set Wanwan to their family, otherwise Wanwan would be tortured to death by her for such a mother-in-law all day long?

Old Madam Xia held back her anger and said unhappily: "Let's marry 20,000 taels of silver to press the box, and we also have to accompany some more fine utensils in the dowry, what a set of forty-eight sacrificial red porcelain vessels, gold silk ivory nanmu beds, carved screens inlaid with white jade, all kinds of things have been given, this is simply not a marriage, it is clearly blackmail!"

Xie was surprised, Su has been top-notch and strong since he was a child, but he didn't expect to become so bitter and mean after starting a family.

“…… Does the mother agree?" "If you say that a dowry of this specification is enough, it is enough to marry the prince of Cheng Bohou!"

Old Madam Xia snorted, " How could I agree to such a thing, Sister Xian is just a concubine in our family, and I don't see if it's worth it for so much money in our family, Su is confused, Mrs. Cheng Bohou is not stupid, she also knows that this thing is impossible, so she lowered the request by half, I did a little calculation, Sister Xian'er's dowry was purchased by the slut early in the morning, there was originally four thousand taels of silver in the box, and another two thousand taels of silver were paid in the public school, and I left four thousand taels to make up for it, and the other three children were like this, except for one piece of silver in the public middle school, I will give another one here。 ”

Xie Shi knew that Mrs. Xia was worried that she had a grudge in her heart, so she hurriedly said: "Mother's body and silver should be kept for herself, and the daughter-in-law who has the rest of Sister Xian's silver in the box will be released, since it is to be recorded in the daughter-in-law's name, the daughter-in-law will not be able to get a penny." ”

Mrs. Xia looked at Xie with affection, she had been with her for many years, she was most satisfied with Xie's filial piety, she shook her head and said: "I don't need you to come out, several children are the descendants of the Xia family, who else will I leave my silver if I don't leave it to them? ”

Xie Shi knew the temper of his mother-in-law, so he didn't say much at the moment, and nodded in response.

Chanyi entered Fushoutang, and when she heard Mrs. Xia's words, she knew that they were discussing Xianyi's marriage, and a smile appeared on her face, it seems that Xianyi's marriage is a certainty, so Xianyi will be tied to Jian Anjie in the future, which is very good, Jian Anjie from the province always comes to pester her, and she is annoyed.

She smiled and saluted Mrs. Xia, "Grandmother, the shopkeeper Zhang came back from collecting rice and grain, saying that our family's warehouse is not so big, and we need to prepare more warehouses to come out." ”

Mrs. Xia said with a smile: "Grandmother has already prepared this for you, our family has a Zhuangzi in the western suburbs, and there are many warehouses on the Zhuangzi, which can be used to put rice and grain. ”

Chanyi nodded, seeing that Mrs. Xia was smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and she didn't seem to have much energy, knowing that her mother-in-law in her previous life, Mrs. Cheng Bohou, Su Shi was angry with Mrs. Xia, Su has always been mercenary, and now let her swallow this breath, she will inevitably want some benefits, otherwise, according to her temperament, how can she be willing to suffer? And this benefit must be related to Xian Yi's dowry, otherwise she would not have heard the words of her grandmother before.

I don't know if Xian Yi knows that the Chengbohou Mansion she is about to marry will be such a mess, and she won't regret it when the time comes.

Chan Yi gloated in her heart, then restrained her thoughts, and saw that Old Madam Xia still had something to discuss with the Xie family, so she hurriedly retreated.

On the second day, Zhang Shengquan went to the Zhuangzi in the western suburbs to take a look, and found that the Zhuangzi was very large, and the granaries in the Zhuangzi were deliberately vacated.

Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that it would not be enough, in a place like Yunfu City, where every inch of land is expensive, there are very few Zhuangzi for sale, and she is not at ease when so much rice grain is put elsewhere, fortunately, her grandmother has already prepared, so as not to make her in a hurry, she arranged for a few small servants to go to Zhuangzi to guard, and ordered Zhang Shengquan to go to Yunzhou to pick up rice grain.

After a few days of busy hurrying, I received rice grain, arranged a qiē, and in a blink of an eye, it was the ninth day of the second month.

February 9th, the day of spring.

The Xia family began to be busy early in the morning, preparing snacks for Xia Mingche that were enough to eat for three days, rice grain, water, as well as good old ink, Chengni inkstone, and pen.

Chan Yi sewed a sachet and put the peace charm she went to the temple to ask for, and put some refreshing spices in it, and let Xia Mingche take it with her.

Xia Shijing had not yet reached the time of the early dynasty, so he also gathered around Xia Mingche and said to him some questions that the examiner might make, so that he could read them carefully, and reminded the examiner's hobbies again, so that he could be vigilant, and finally talked about the knowledge of craftsmanship.

Chanyi frowned on the side, the second brother was in spring, and his father seemed more nervous than the second brother, and kept pulling the second brother to talk, and the second brother couldn't help but listen......

Old Mrs. Xia listened to Xia Shijing's troubles, and interrupted: "No one is allowed to talk about Brother Che today, Brother Che is still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future!"

Xia Shijing was anxious in his heart, he naturally knew that there would be more opportunities in the future, but this year was a critical year, there were so many vacant positions in the DPRK, if Brother Che really passed the exam, he would fight for Brother Che Er with his life, but if he didn't have fame, how could he fight for those nobles?

He was about to open his mouth to tell Xia Mingche a few words, but Xie Shi stood between him and Xia Mingche, she reached out and gently stroked Xia Mingche's hair, and said in a soft tone: "Che'er is not afraid, just take these three days as your fifth uncle assigned you homework, how to answer what you usually answer now, mother is waiting for you to come back at home, and make you your favorite lily shrimp." ”

Xia Mingche smiled and nodded, his voice clear: "Grandmother, father, mother, little sister, you can rest assured that you can wait for my good news." ”

After saying this, he picked up his things in one hand and strode out of the Xia Mansion.

Xia Qi hurriedly followed, took the burden in Xia Mingche's hand, and served Xia Mingche to get into the carriage.

[I saw the messages of the mushrooms that said that the plot has been boring less recently, Xiaoyi feels very embarrassed, the thinking has been a little messy recently, and I have been thinking about it, I can be more sure or want more, don't worry, this chapter is a transitional chapter, maybe the recent plot is very boring, but there is progress with foreshadowing, and I hope you understand more, love you, what!]
