Because Mu Hibiscus knew that Mama Ding was also involved in this matter, and she was the one who helped Zhou Xinru find someone, so it can be said that if there was no Mama Ding, Zhou Xinru would not have the ability to do such a thing, so when Zhou Tao sent someone to investigate the cause and effect of Zhou Xinru's incident, Mu Hibiscus asked Zhou Tao to tell him about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The reason why Zhou Tao investigated this matter was also because he understood that Zhou Xinru's brain couldn't do such a thing at all, it must be the result of someone helping, but the person who helped must be of average level, otherwise he would not have been killed by Hibiscus, and when he thought that this person was not level, he thought that he was very powerful, and helped Zhou Xinru to give advice, and Zhou Xinru caused such a scandal, so that he couldn't use her to get married (sell it at a good price), and the loss was huge, Zhou Tao couldn't help but be full of anger.

Don't blame Zhou Tao for being angry, after all, if no one helps, Zhou Xinru won't be able to do anything, and there will be no scandal, so it's all because the person who helped is not good, so he investigated.

Zhou Xinru doesn't have any brains, and her actions are naturally not secretive, so who she is looking for help will be known by Zhou Tao as soon as she checks it.

Although Zhou Tao didn't like hibiscus and wanted to find her trouble, but he didn't find the trouble of hibiscus at this time, on the contrary, he made Zhou Xinru have such a big scandal, and he also knew that Mu Hibiscus probably already knew that Zhou Xinru was designing her, otherwise the person who should have appeared in the meditation room would not have become Zhou Xinru in the end, since he knew that Zhou Xinru was designing her, he was afraid that he knew everything about Mama Ding's situation, so he was angry that Mama Ding had caused such a big trouble and almost lost her reputation, and secondly, Mama Ding had been registered with Hibiscus, It's useless to leave her there to deal with hibiscus, for such a waste, or pit his own waste, Zhou Tao, who is full of fire, naturally will not tolerate it, so he found a mistake with the other party on this day, beat Ding Mama to death, and then sold his family far away, and raided her home, to make up for the loss of the money he gave Wang San before, and to dispel his evil anger.

Mu Hibiscus saw that Zhou Tao really rectified Mama Ding as she thought, and couldn't help nodding secretly, secretly saying that if Zhou Tao didn't deal with it, she would also deal with it, after all, this time, she was careful, otherwise her fate would be extremely miserable, and she would be like Zhou Xinru who would be worse off than dead, so that she would be fine, and it would be strange to let Mama Ding go easily.

…………

Soon after Zhou Xinru got married, it was the day when Hibiscus was set.

The so-called big set is to give a dowry gift and hire a lower one.

Generally, it is not long before getting married, but if there is something, you can also make a big decision in advance.

Zhao Yao is ready to set in advance, for no other reason, he wants to turn over the New Year, out of the New Year to marry Hibiscus, in this way, before the end of the year, the matter of Dading will be done, and there is no need to delay time for this New Year, otherwise the New Year will be set, and then it will be an auspicious day, and it will be an auspicious day to get married, and this auspicious day is not every day.

He respects Hibiscus's opinion, so he usually does everything to discuss with Hibiscus first, and then discuss with Zhou Tao after discussing the date, rather than him making his own opinions.

Now that the saint has given marriage, Zhou Tao sees that the general trend has gone, so he will not embarrass Zhao Yao in these small things, and deliberately delay time, of course, the most important thing is that in the dowry incident, he saw that the saint was helping Mu Hibiscus, and he was afraid that the saint was still paying attention to the situation of Mu Hibiscus, so he didn't dare to delay the time, so as not to spread to the ears of the saint, and the saint found out that he deliberately embarrassed the hibiscus and would find him trouble.

Although he only received a Yin Feng Eight-rank idle official that the old lady Zhou asked for him back then, but no matter how small the official was, it was also an official, he didn't want the emperor to be unhappy, so he took his official position and made him a pure leader and a guest of honor who had no influence in the court, and if he was ridiculed by a bunch of people, it would be a good face He didn't dare to think about it.

If it weren't for the fear that Emperor Yonghe would blame himself, or only Zhao Yao alone, Zhou Tao would only dare to drag it out, and if the time dragged on for a long time, maybe the king of Linjiang County wouldn't like hibiscus, or something happened to hibiscus, after all, there are many dreams at night, and anything is possible.

But because of Emperor Yonghe, so now Zhao Yao sent the official media to talk about what small and big auspicious days, etc., he basically said what the other party said, as long as it wasn't the Zhou family who really had something, it wouldn't work at that time, otherwise he would generally agree.

As he said this time, he agreed to the decision on November 20.

The reason why Zhao Yao arranged for November 20 is mainly because these big families in Beijing will be busy in December, and Dading is more lively than Xiaoding, if it is arranged in December, I am afraid that the Zhou family will have no time to shirk, Zhao Yao does not want to give Zhou Tao an excuse to shirk, so it is set in November, there is no festival in November, and it is not too busy, Zhou Tao can't shirk it.

Dading is much more grand than Xiaoding, but after all, it is not a wedding, so the relatives and friends who came to the Earl's Mansion of Qing'an, and the people in the society naturally did not come, among which the Changping princess of Changping, the prince of Changping, the princess of the princess and other aunts and uncles also came, because there are many people in the Changping Palace, so the scene is also very spectacular.

Not long after, the matchmaker came over with the dowry team, and the dowry was lifted one by one, and those relatives and friends who saw the Earl of Qing'an's Mansion couldn't help muttering, and secretly said that this Linjiang County King is not the newly crowned prince? Why is there so much dowry?

When the matchmaker came to the door and reported the amount of the dowry, it was said that it was 30,000 taels of dowry, and the crowd couldn't help but "buzz".

Everyone present didn't think that Zhao Yao, a county king who had just opened a palace, could take out 30,000 taels of dowry, and they couldn't help but be surprised, they thought that Zhao Yao would only get the marriage fee given by the Zongren Mansion, according to the grade of the county king, it was 2,000 taels, but they didn't expect Zhao Yao to be so generous, and he took 30,000 taels of dowry, which made everyone present not stunned?

Because there are a lot of things, the matchmaker who reads the bridal excerpt drank several glasses of water before reading all the things, and the scene was already a whispered discussion, only Princess Changping listened to the dowry, and a smile appeared on her face, thinking that Zhao Yao, this child, is a sincere person who treats hibiscus, if it is not sincere, who will carry so many dowries, you know, if a man has other thoughts, or even a favorite concubine like Zhou Tao, he will not give too much dowry, because even if the dowry woman brings it all, it will become a dowry, and it is the woman's private room, If Zhao Yao doesn't like hibiscus, or even someone else he likes, he is reluctant to take out the money.

Not to mention how Zhou Airu and others were jealous when they saw Zhao Yao giving hibiscus a dowry of 30,000 taels, but after saying that Da Ding, he said that the marriage was about to happen, and since it was soon, the woman's family would also start preparing the dowry.

According to the ideas of the Zhou family, they don't want to give hibiscus a penny dowry, but if they really dare to do this, they don't know how they will be ridiculed by the people around them, and the concubines don't give a penny of dowry, and then Zhou Airu will marry a concubine, if you give it, you will respect the concubine and degrade the concubine, and then others will have something to say, if someone really has other intentions and wants to engage the Zhou family, you can encourage the imperial history to tell the Zhou family that there is no distinction between the concubines, then it is not good, they are not only for the sake of face, but also do not want to cause such trouble, So sure enough, as Mu Hibiscus thought, no matter how much the Zhou family hates her, but such a hypocrite also has benefits, on the surface will still do a drop of water, after the text is decided, there is no need for Mama Zhang to remind, the Zhou family began to prepare the dowry, the amount of the dowry is given according to the original regulations of the public middle school, and they dare not miss the hibiscus - they naturally dare not wait for Mama Zhang to remind them to prepare the dowry, otherwise it will be spread, and the outside will say how they are hibiscus, since they are ready to give hibiscus dowry, then don't leave a handle for people, lest the money be given and scolded, it will really infuriate people.

The Zhou family has no money, so the dowry is not much, when Grandma Li married into the Earl of Zhongyong's mansion, she was only a thousand taels for a long-term daughter, so Mu Hibiscus, the second-room daughter, was naturally given by comparison, and it was also a thousand taels.

However, although the public only gives 1,000 taels of dowry, it will not be desolate when Hibiscus marries, because there is a dowry of 50,000 taels from the lord of Dezhao County, plus the 20,000 taels of silver given by the princess of Changping and the princess of Cheng'en before, and the princess of Changping and the princess will definitely give the next lot of makeup, as well as the jewelry obtained in the palace of Changping at that time, the dowry is about 100,000 yuan, which is more than the dowry of the lord of Dezhao County, but the lord of Dezhao County is married to the second son of a down-and-out noble son like Zhou Tao, And Mu Hibiscus went to be a princess, and it is normal for her to have a different identity and a more dowry.

The dowry given by the public middle school was not only small, but also the same as the one given to Grandma Li at that time, it was all rags, and it was estimated that it was picked from the treasury and brought in indiscriminate money, and it was not really spent money to buy it.

Zhou Airu and other people in the Qing'an Earl's Mansion always say that their mansion is very poor and poor, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the palace often came to ask for money from time to time, plus Lord Zhou and Zhou Tao were a loose man, otherwise, in terms of the income of the Qing'an Earl's Mansion, it is not very short of money, at least it should be better than the Zhongyong Earl's Mansion, and you can see why the Qing'an Earl's Mansion is not poor.

There are three rooms in the Earl's Mansion of Zhongyong, but only the big room has the income of the title and the official village, the third room only has the income of the eight idle people, and the second room is purely for dry rice. Although this dynasty implements a policy of high salary and incorruptibility, it is eight grades of idleness, and there is an income of four hundred taels a year, and the income of the viscount and the official village inherited by the big house is about one thousand taels - to have a real power official position, and there is also money for a real power official position, but unfortunately Master Li has no real power official position, but only an empty title, so even if it is a viscount, there is only so much income. Combined, if the Earl of Zhongyong's Mansion has no other income, if it is only supported by the imperial court, it will only have more than 1,000 taels of silver a year, which is obviously too little.

And the Qing'an Earl's Mansion is different, because no one in the Qing'an Earl's Mansion eats dry rice, and they all have a fortune and an official village.

Needless to say, Master Zhou is a viscount like Master Li, with an income of about 1,000 taels a year. Then Zhou Tao, the county chief guest of honor, has more income, because he not only has the income of the county lord of honor, which is about more than 1,000 taels, but also the old lady Zhou asked him to be sealed, and the eight products of Yin Lai, according to the system, this dynasty can not be an official if he marries a clan girl, but he can receive it, and these eight products are also four hundred taels, adding up, it is about two thousand taels. So the Zhou brothers have an income of about 3,000 taels.

And now that Mu Hibiscus is here, her official village income and Yulu are also handed over to the public high school, and she is the county lord, and the income of Zhou Tao, the county lord's guest of honor, is the same, that is, there are more than 1,000 taels.

So the three of them together, not counting other income, just relying on the imperial court to raise, there is an income of more than 4,000 taels, which is in ordinary people's homes, how to say that they can live very well, now at the end of the year, all the income has come, it stands to reason that the dowry for hibiscus can be done decently, and there is no need to make some rags like now.

But in fact, the money in the Qing'an Earl's Mansion is really not enough, this is because there is a Concubine Zhou in the Qing'an Earl's Mansion who keeps asking for money in the palace - if you dare not give it, Concubine Zhou, who is not favored, is afraid that she will fall into the situation of being bullied in minutes, and if she is not calculated by others, she will have to be demoted, in order to keep this concubine, the Zhou family can only keep stuffing money into the palace.

With such a bottomless pit, the Zhou family has an income of more than 4,000 taels a year, and it can't stand it.

Especially when the end of the year came, the blood-sucking eunuchs in the palace knew that the Zhou family was rich, so one or two came over to ask for more work, and often the money only arrived in the account, and they were robbed by them before they could cover the heat.

If it were other people's families, they might give up Concubine Zhou, after all, they couldn't live for Concubine Zhou, and the whole family couldn't survive, besides, we also had to consider the mood of the big house and the second room, after all, Mrs. Zhou was willing to provide for her daughter, and Master Zhou and Master Tuesday were not necessarily willing to provide for her sister.

But the current situation is that Master Zhou has no son, and it is possible that Zhou Tao will inherit everything in the mansion in the future, and Zhou Tao is a face-loving person, and he feels that it is better for his sister not to be demoted than to be demoted, so he is willing to spend money.

He, the person who will inherit the Zhou Mansion in the future, is willing to spend money, and the old man Zhou will naturally not help him save money, so he has no objection, if he really wants to object, it will not be too late to oppose it when he has a son.

Because the money is not hot at all, and Mrs. Zhou and others don't want to spend money on hibiscus - this is the main reason, because if you really want to spend money on hibiscus, even if Mrs. Zhou doesn't take out her private house, it's still okay to keep 1,000 taels from the account to buy - so it's normal to take a bunch of rags as a dowry for Hibiscus.

Mama Zhang looked at these things, and couldn't help but shake her head in disgust and said: "Fortunately, Miss still has his wife's dowry, and there will be makeup from the princess in the future, otherwise how can I bring these out of the Zhou family?" ”
