Chapter 041: Tangled

Yao Xiruo and Qi Mianzhi were married by the queen's decree, and the wedding date was set for early March. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are still many procedures to go through before the official wedding.

For example, hiring.

Two days later is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is the day when the Qi family hires the Yao family.

The Ning family only gave birth to two sons, and the marriage of the youngest son was a major event in the palace, and she was more concerned than anyone else.

As soon as he heard that he was going to be hired, Ning secretly pulled up a small abacus.

The next hire is not a trivial matter, how much dowry the male family sends to the female family is directly related to the face of the male family and whether the bride is valued.

Not to mention, just last year when Qi Jinzhi married Gu Jialuo, the county lord of Qinghe prepared a very rich dowry, in addition to the usual pair of wild geese, tea, wine, fruits and dishes are also in strict accordance with the ancient rites, in addition to the best tribute satin, southwest medicinal materials and other rare things.

The most dazzling thing is the two large chests of gold and silver bills specially cast into various auspicious patterns.

These two large boxes of gold and silver bills alone were equivalent to 50,000 taels of silver.

This is not 'worth' 50,000 taels, but real real money.

The sum of the zeros and zeros adds up, and the dowry gift given by the Qi family to the Gu family is 80,000 or 90,000 taels of silver.

Of course, Qi Jinzhi was still the future son of the Duke of Qianguo at that time, and he married the eldest daughter of the prince of the Duke of Zhao, so it was normal for the dowry to be rich.

Qi Mianzhi is much inferior to Qi Jinzhi, he is not the eldest son, and he has no official body, and he is not married to the daughter of a high-ranking family.

Although Yao Xiruo relied on his 'superb' (absolutely realistic here) medical skills, he was quite decent in the palace.

But no matter how decent she is, she is just a 'female doctor'. If it weren't for the fact that his background was quite noble, maybe he would still be classified as a 'craftsman'. In other words, the status of the doctor in Daqi is really not high.

To tell the truth, if the Qi family had not declined, even Qi Mianzhi would not marry a 'female doctor'!

Although it is a bit of a philistine to use the bride price to measure the value of a bride, the amount of the bride price can still reflect the importance that the husband values the bride.

And in terms of Yao Xiruo's 'value', the Qi family does not need to spend too much on the dowry.

Ning didn't think so.

They are all descendants of the Qi family, and their East Mansion is faintly more 'orthodox' than West Mansion.

The Qi family can spend nearly 100,000 taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law for Qi Jinzhi, and it is Qi Mianzhi's turn, even if the Qi family is not as good as before, it can't be too different. Half of it is hard to think about it, but a third can always be reached.

Ning even thought about the wording, "Brother Mian'er's family affair is the first happy event after the accident of our Qi family, even if it is to get rid of bad luck, it should be handled well." Not to mention, there is still the grace of the queen mother here. ”

The county lord of Qinghe is the queen's niece, so she shouldn't wipe the queen's face.

Ning's little abacus crackled, and he quickened his pace, rushing all the way towards Xuanrui Hall.

In the western room of Xuanrui Hall, the county lord was also discussing with Gu Jialuo about hiring the Yao family.

"Mother, will this bride price be too small?"

Gu Jialuo held a thin dowry list in his hand, and said with a little worry: "It's just someone else, only my aunt won't easily agree." ”

Before the words fell, the voice of the little maid sounded outside, "Mrs. Ning is here!" ”

The county lord was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived." ”

Then he replied loudly: "Hurry up, please!" ”

Gu Jialuo leaned off the kang and stood respectfully behind the county lord.

The door curtain sounded softly, and Ning Shi was wrapped in cold air, and hurriedly walked in.

Gu Jialuo bowed: "I've seen my aunt!" ”

Ning waved his hand indifferently, and then said to the county lord with a smile: "I heard that the Yao family is going to be hired, I am Brother Mian'er's mother-in-law, so I thought about coming over to take a look." Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just ...... Alas, we are all mothers, and you must understand the feelings of cherishing our son. If there is any rudeness, please forgive your sister-in-law. ”

A hint of mockery flashed on the county lord's lips, yes, you have said all the good and bad things, what else can I say?

Nodding with a smile, the county lord said 'understanding', and then invited Ning to take a seat.

Ning Shi was not polite, sat on the mattress where Gu Jialuo was sitting, put his elbow on the kang table, and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, I don't know if the dowry list has been drawn up?" ”

The county lord glanced at Gu Jialuo, but said to the Ning family: "My brother and sister came by chance, I just drew up the list, and I was about to finish discussing it with the Gu family, so I took it to the eldest aunt and younger siblings." It's just a coincidence that you're here, so it saves me trouble. Brother and sister, take a look. ”

Gu Jialuo hurriedly held the list in his hand to the Ning clan with both hands.

Ning Shiquandang didn't hear the thorn in the county lord's words, took the list, and before he could read two lines, his face changed.

After she finished reading the short list, the smile on her face couldn't hold back anymore, "Sister-in-law, this, this is inevitably too thin, right?" ”

The bride price was only 1,800 taels of silver, and with those snacks, tea, fruits, and wine, it did not exceed 3,000 taels.

With such a little money, their Qi family has not been so shabby in marrying their concubines. When Qi Shenzhi married Luo last year, he spent 10,000 taels.

Well, now that the grandson of the eldest princess and the second young master of the Qi family are married, there are only three thousand taels of pitiful taels?!

The county lord sighed and said, "I know that I have wronged Brother Mian'er, but this is also a helpless thing." There are only items in the family but not much input, and dozens of people have to eat, drink and spend every day. Brother Mian is overjoyed, I also want to do a great job, but 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice', I have no money in my hand, and I, the housewife, have a heart but I am helpless. ”

The county lord is an elder, and some things can't be said too thoroughly.

At this time, there needs to be a 'little minion' to be aggrieved by the county lord.

Gu Jialuo didn't think about it, so she took the initiative to play this role, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Isn't it, my mother also told me that the marriage of the fourth master is a rare happy event for our Qi family during this period of time, and the reason should be handled well, rush to the bad luck, and win a good omen, but the problem is that there is really no money in the official." As for the three thousand taels of silver, my mother got it easily from her own dowry. ”

The expected 30,000 taels became 3,000 taels, and the gap in Ning's heart could be imagined.

Annoyed, she lost her mind for a while, and said in a strange manner: "My nephew and daughter-in-law also look down on the county lord too much, which of our Qi family doesn't know that the county lord's wife has rich furniture?" His uncle has been fighting for many years, and I don't know how many good things he has saved? When I raided my house, I didn't take much ......"

Fighting is the most profitable, even in the barren southwest, Qi Ling can get boxes of gold and silver treasures and precious medicinal materials by destroying a cottage casually.

But those things did not enter the Qi family's public account, but were all converted into silver and became the 'dowry' of the county lord of Qinghe.

Of course, Dongfu also operates in this way, although the two families are not separated, they can only hide their private property in this way.

When the county lord heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said unceremoniously: "Our lord is fighting in the southwest, and the second cousin is not going to go there to play in the mountains and rivers. As for the money in the officials, they have their own accounts, and they have already been paid clearly when the government comes to check them. What does the younger sibling mean by this? ”

Gu Jialuo was also angry, and said in his heart, this group of people in Dongfu is really shameless, those who eat Xifu and live in Xifu, Xifu has raised their family for many months, they don't say they are grateful, but they still dislike Xifu for not taking out all their family resources for them to squander!

What kind of rogue logic is this?!

The county lord cares about his identity, and some things can't be said too much.

Gu Jialuo doesn't have this scruples, she is young and 'ignorant', even if she says something wrong, it is 'childish words'.

I saw Gu Jialuo snort coldly and said, "I kind of understand, Auntie, this is to blame my mother for being unfair." This is also easy to do, it is better to let the aunt be the family. My mother is also a person of spring and autumn, wouldn't it be better to eat tea idly like my aunt? Why do such a thankless task? ”

The county lord was very satisfied with Gu Jialuo's performance, his face also turned cold, and he said lightly: "Yes, if my younger brother and sister think that I am not doing well, you can do it yourself." After a few months of being a homemaker, I'm really tired, and I'm trying to take a break. ”

The Ning family originally wanted to fight back, but the county lord's sentence of 'do it yourself' woke her up.

The Qi family is not easy to do, and there is no money in the public middle school at all. The so-called 'being in charge' is simply to be a 'big boss' and use his dowry to make up for the shortfall.

There wasn't much left of Ning's private property, and she didn't want to fill it all into the bottomless pit of the Qi family. Not even for the sake of his own son!

Holding back the resentment in his heart, Ning hurriedly apologized to the county lord, saying that he was lost from a nap, and what he said was nonsense and dreams.

He repeatedly thanked the county lord for his hard work, and also said that the dowry for the Yao family would be done according to the county lord's wishes.

In the end, she quickly dodged and left, lest if she walked slowly, the county lord would push the Qi family's mess on her head.

"Mother, after the Yao family passes the door, let's split up as soon as possible."

Looking at Ning's back, Gu Jialuo said faintly: "This person is simply a group of white-eyed wolves, and they can't be raised!" ”

The county lord sighed, "That's it, there are no more days left or right." ”

What kind of virtue the people of Dongfu are, she knows better than Gu Jialuo.

But the eldest princess is an elder in the end, and she lost the princess title, the world has always sympathized with the weak, even if she knows that the eldest princess is not a good person, but seeing her bleak appearance at night, she can't help but feel pity.

As for the county lord, he is the only person in the Qi family who retains his rank, and if he is a little careless when acting, he will fall into the notoriety of 'arrogant and domineering' and 'oppressive with power'.

The county lord didn't care about herself, but she didn't want to affect her children and grandchildren.

It's just a matter of spending money to buy a good reputation for her son, and she's not bad for money anyway!

A month flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered March.

Spring is blooming, the sun is shining, and the air is filled with the smell of sweet fragrance, which is a good day for wedding.

Although the scale of the Qi family's banquet guests is not as good as that of Qi Jinzhi's marriage, it is already a very high-standard wedding banquet in terms of the current situation of the Qi family.

The Qi family's in-laws and old friends came to congratulate them.

Under the best efforts of the county lord, the wedding of Qi Mianzhi and Yao Xiruo was also beautiful, and all the guests couldn't help but secretly praise the county lord for his kindness and kindness in their hearts.

In the congratulations of relatives and friends, a couple was sent into the cave room.

Yao Xiruo's feelings about Qi Mianzhi are very complicated, in her previous life, she 'adultered' with Qi Mianzhi, and even gave birth to a son, but she never forgot the scene when Qi Mianzhi killed her in order to protect herself.

In the sleeve of the red wedding dress, Yao Xiruo held one hand tightly, and a pill exchanged from the system was hidden in his palm......
