Chapter 22 How much dowry is given?

"Mother, how can this make me calm, Xiao Jiu is my own flesh and blood, and she is also the granddaughter of the old witch, how can she do this?" Xu Shi became angry, "I want to take my own daughter to her declining mother's house, I want to be beautiful, I will go back and say that I don't agree with this family business." ”

Mrs. Zhou's stern tone suddenly became stern: "Shut up, that's your mother-in-law, do you still have a little respect for your elders, just like you are now, you have become unreasonable." ”

Xu has always been afraid of his mother, and when he saw her being stern, he could only barely suppress the anger in his heart, and said: "Mother, this is too deceitful, I just feel sorry for Xiao Jiu, this family affair can't be concluded no matter what." ”

Mrs. Zhou turned the Buddha beads in her hand, half-squinted her eyes and pondered in her heart for a long time, before she highlighted a sentence, "The Cen family is in decline, but it is a noble one." ”

Xu's eyes widened in surprise, seeing what his mother meant, this family business can be done, and he was stunned for a while before saying, "Mother, didn't you also say that you want to tell Xiao Jiu to Zhe'er?"

Mrs. Zhou said in a low voice: "I had such a plan before, but ...... This Zhe'er is getting bigger and bigger, he is used to his father, his temperament is soft, I used to think that Xiao Jiu's temperament is also soft, even if he marries in, he can live even if he is wronged, with my old wife watching, he will give birth to a boy and half a girl in the future, even if I go, Yongxiang Hou Mansion will not dare to do anything to her, but recently I heard you say that after Xiao Jiu grew up, his temperament became stronger, last month, you brought Xiao Jiu back, I asked her a few words, and found that she had a lot of ideas, and I felt that this family business was not so good. ”

Xu was really stunned this time.

If you don't marry Xiao Jiu in, isn't the wealth of the Yongxiang Hou Mansion cheap for nothing, the old Hou Ye was romantic, and he was confused, and he stretched his legs when the family property was almost lost, so many years, it was his mother who worked hard day and night, which supported the Hou Mansion again, if he couldn't let his flesh and blood enjoy, what was the point of this succession?

Mother and daughter are connected, Mrs. Zhou knows what her daughter is thinking, so she only said lightly: "I have my own idea, after you go back, you can shake your face a little, but you can't go too far, and you can't refuse this family business too thoroughly, you have to leave room for me to inquire about the situation of the Cen family." ”

Mother said so, Xu was full of grievances, and had to endure it temporarily, anyway, his mother would not harm himself, thinking about his husband, he felt that what his mother said made sense, this marriage is still a person, if you meet someone like Su Sanye again, no matter how good the background is, what is the meaning of living a life together?

Return to Yuanping Bo Mansion.

Xu immediately went to see Mrs. Cen.

Mrs. Cen told her with a smile on her face, and explained: "The brother of the Cen family was thirteen years old when he was in Xiucai, and he broke through the door frame of the proposal, I thought about whether to quickly book it for Xiao Jiu, and it would be bad for others to take the lead, so I exchanged Geng posts with the Cen family." ”

Xu Shi had a cold face, stirred the handkerchief in his hand into a twist, and heard that Geng Ti had been changed, so he couldn't help but say: "Mother-in-law, you set a marriage for Xiao Jiu, and the daughter-in-law didn't dare to say anything, but this is not too hasty, Xiao Jiu is only eleven, even if it is to be officially decided, it will take two years, it is said that the daughter-in-law still saw Brother Heng three years ago during the New Year, and now I don't remember what he looks like, whether it is suitable for Xiao Jiu." ”

Mrs. Cen didn't seem to notice the disrespect on Xu's face, and said kindly: "In two years, Brother Cen is going to be promoted by a lot of people, and if he is robbed, it will not be Xiao Jiu's turn, I am also anxious for Xiao Jiu, you look at these girls in the family, just because they were not booked early, it is not easy to find a good candidate for a while, I won't tell you, this family business big room and two rooms are intentional, but I think that the third room is thinner, while my old bones can still move, I will set it for Xiao Jiu as soon as possible, so as not to have extraneous branches, Don't worry, Brother Heng, I grew up, will I still harm my granddaughter?"

It's just a showman, what's so proud, don't talk about the stable, it's outside, the poor and sour Xiucai is also a big handful, Xu is quite disdainful, but he thinks of his mother's explanation, and feels that Geng Ti has been changed, and no matter how much trouble he makes, he can't change the facts, so he still has to fight for the greatest interests, so he said: "Mother-in-law also knows that the three rooms are thin, how much dowry do you plan to give Xiaojiu?"

Mrs. Cen was stunned, she thought that the Xu family would strongly oppose this family business, and she had prepared a good statement in her stomach, but she didn't expect that the Xu family did not strongly oppose it, but mentioned the dowry, which she never thought about, there are so many granddaughters in the house, the Xu family has a rich dowry and is good at management, and there is only one son and one daughter.

But now, two or three thousand is obviously not good, you can't sue the Xu family, I will pay two or three thousand silver, you marry your daughter into my mother's family, and then pay for the dowry yourself, if in normal times, this is nothing, now the Xu family will definitely make trouble, too much, and I really can't take it out.

Xu Shi wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "Mother-in-law, it's not that I'm picky, it's just that I'm just such a daughter, I grew up in Bofu, I am delicate and expensive, and I rashly let her marry into a noble family, how do you live this day? ”

Get the dowry in hand first, and inquire about it later, if the brother of the Cen family is not as good as Mrs. Cen said, he will have an excuse to retire this family business, and the horizontal and vertical Xiaojiu is still young, as for the dowry given to the granddaughter, can Mrs. Tai still be able to carry it back? Mother is right, Geng Ti has been changed, and now there is no benefit in making trouble, and the horizontal and vertical will have a reputation of retreating, so even if you want to return, you have to get a dowry to compensate.

Mrs. Cen was speechless, and the Xu family clearly hinted that she wanted to give Xiao Jiu the same dowry as her second sister.

Seeing this, Mama Jin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Third lady, don't worry, Mrs. Tai has already told the slave maid that she will never wronged Miss Jiu, but this dowry has not been calculated for a while and a half, and some antique jewelry is not easy to estimate, you wait a few days, you will definitely be satisfied." ”

Xu Shi said: "Thank you mother-in-law for worrying about Xiao Jiu, and my daughter-in-law retired first." ”

Mama Jin hurriedly sent Xu out.

After coming back, Mrs. Cen still had that expression.

Mama Jin sighed and persuaded: "Mrs. Tai, this result is already very good, the eldest lady's family affairs still need Mrs. Zhou's consent, I think it will be compared to the second lady's dowry to Miss Nine." ”

It's easy to say, it was the eldest daughter who was originally ordered to the Kangjun Palace, generally speaking, the dowry of the eldest daughter is richer than that of other daughters, in addition, the family affairs of the County Prince's Mansion are high-marrying, and the dowry should be richer, and this in-law can bring great help to the Bofu in the future, and now Xiao Jiu also has to come up with such a dowry, how can Mrs. Cen be willing to give it?
