Qi Hua looked at the jealousy in Ji Cheng's heart, her dowry was only five thousand taels of silver, and listening to Ji Cheng's tone, her dowry was only afraid of 100,000 taels of silver, if she could marry into their family, not only would her mother have a thousand-year-old ginseng, but Ji Cheng would have to add makeup to her when she got married, right? Her brother doesn't have to be treated coldly by his boss because he doesn't take advantage of the money.

"According to that, Sister Cheng's dowry is only afraid of no less than 100,000 taels, right?" Qi Hua said curiously.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "It's just some blockages." ”

Qi Hua asked again: "Sister Cheng, why does this shopkeeper of Changchun Hall listen to you so much?" "Say let you take the treasure of the town store, and take the treasure of the town store.

Ji Cheng said: "Daddy has already added Changchun Hall to my dowry list, saying that the silver is dead, and it will be gone if it is used, and the silver is a living thing if there is a shop, and it will be there for a lifetime." ”

Qi Hua said: "Isn't this the reason? ”

Although the scale of Changchun Hall is not as good as the three major medicine halls of Jingshi, Qi Hua heard that he does not know Jingshi, Linxian and Linprovince have the semicolon of Changchun Hall, if Ji Cheng still has Changchun Hall, it is really a golden doll.

After breaking up with Ji Cheng, Qi Hua almost trotted into her mother, Mrs. Qi's house.

"Why are you grabbing the medicine again? Didn't I tell you not to go? Your brother said that the world is not peaceful now, why do you bother to show your face if you are the daughter of the uncle's house? Mrs. Qi took Qi Hua's hand and complained, but her body was too weak, and she was a little out of breath after saying such a long sentence.

Qi Hua tucked the corner of the quilt for Mrs. Qi, and mentioned the matter of meeting Ji Cheng today, but he didn't dare to mention a word about the thousand-year-old mountain ginseng.

"Oh, listening to your tone, it seems that I like this Ji girl." Mrs. Qi said.

"Well, she was born beautifully, and her temper and temperament are excellent. The last time she painted at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she and Wang Siniang also had a tie, if it weren't for Wang Siniang being a member of the Wang family, she wouldn't have been able to win Sister Cheng at all. Qi Hua spared no effort to say good things for Ji Cheng.

Although Mrs. Qi has been bedridden for many years, her brain is not paralyzed, Qi Hua's temperament is not gregarious, she used to be picky about this and that when she mentioned other girls, she was always picky about this and that, and it was rare for her to praise a person like this. Mrs. Qi's first reaction was that she was afraid that Ji Cheng would deceive Qi Hua with ulterior motives.

"Oh, what is the origin of this Ji girl?" Mrs. Qi asked.

"She is the niece of the third lady of the Shen family, and she is the Shen family in Iron Hat Lane." Qi Hua Road.

"Oh." Mrs. Qi nodded, Mrs. Qi of the Shen family, the Duke of Qi, naturally knew, when she was still strong in her early years, she also went to visit Mrs. Shen, and she had a little impression of Ji Lan, and the most impressive thing was her beauty, and Mrs. Qi had also heard the legendary story of Ji Lan.

The Ji family is a merchant, although Qi Hua deliberately avoided it, Mrs. Qi remembered it with a little impression.

"Her brother is studying at Dongshan Academy, and he will take the township exam next year." Qi Hua added.

Mrs. Qi nodded, if the son of the Ji family can order the jinshi, the Ji family will naturally enter the ranks of the gentry.

Qi Hua talked to Mrs. Qi for a while, and when he saw that she was tired, he went by himself.

Mrs. Qi lay on the bed, thinking about Qi Hua's words with her eyes closed. Qi Hua's little caution Mrs. Qi saw through it at a glance, and she praised Ji Cheng like this, I am afraid that it is for her brother's family affairs.

Although Mrs. Qi is not in good health, and now Aunt Wu is taking care of the inner house, she comes to Mrs. Qi every month to return to Mrs. Qi about the accounts.

Mrs. Qi naturally knew the situation of the uncle's house, because of her illness, the silver was spent like flowing water, and her sons and daughters were all filial people, even the uncle was also benevolent and righteous to her. Now that Bofu is an empty shelf, instead of finding a lady from a family with a small dowry for Qi Zheng as a wife, it is indeed better to have a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry.

And Ji Cheng's family background is not too bad, her brother is motivated, her aunt is the third lady of the Shen family, in the future, Qi Zheng and the Shen family will also be considered relatives, there are people in the court who are easy to do, the Shen family has a good prestige in the army, and Qi Zheng's future can be regarded as a settlement, if he can make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that the title of Earl Yunyang can be found again.

Mrs. Qi was fascinated when she thought about it, and she was still tossing and turning at night, but her spirit was not bad, probably because the eldest daughter-in-law had a candidate, and her mind was lighter, but she didn't know Qi Zheng's mind yet, and she didn't know whether the girl of the Ji family looked down on Yunyang Bofu, and was willing to use her dowry to fill the deficit of Yunyang Bofu.

On this day, Qi Zheng came back from duty in the palace, and went to Mrs. Qi's house to say hello as usual.

Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Zheng's face, he was born very well, his facial features were as delicate as hers, but he did not lose the heroism of a man, he had the demeanor of his grandfather, and more importantly, he had a good character, filial piety and considerateness, there is no better man than him in the world.

Mrs. Qi was bent on finding a noble relative for Qi Zheng, but her illness has been delayed so far, and she has no contact with those noble ladies, and she doesn't know much about their daughter, and Qi Zheng doesn't care about family affairs, so she has been delayed so far. Seeing that her body was not good, Mrs. Qi was afraid that she would delay this son and daughter, and she was also anxious to set up a family affair for them, so the request was much more local, otherwise Ji Cheng would still not be able to enter her eyes.

"Ah Zheng, I'm afraid I won't get better from this illness, it's just delaying time. The only thing I can't worry about is your relationship with Xiaohua, if I don't watch you get married, I can't feel at ease even if I leave. Mrs. Qi took Qi Zheng's hand and said.

Mrs. Qi's words are a cliché, and Qi Zheng comforted Mrs. Qi with a few old words, allowing her to recuperate with peace of mind and relax her mind.

"Ah Zheng, I'm not in good health, and I can't go to show you what I want to do, last time Xiaohua mentioned a girl Ji, and her words were full of admiration, saying that she was both beautiful and upright, have you heard of this Miss Ji?" Mrs. Qi asked.

The first thing that came to Qi Zheng's mind was Ji Cheng's beautiful face.

"Which Ji girl?" Qi Zheng asked.

"I heard that she is the niece of the third lady of the Shen family in Iron Hat Lane." Mrs. Qi has been looking at Qi Zheng, but her son has always been receptive, and Mrs. Qi can't see too many clues.

Qi Zhengdao: "The last time Xiaohua fell into the water in the Shen Mansion, she was rescued. ”

Qi Hua's fall into the water was hidden from Mrs. Qi at the time, for fear that she would worry and her condition would worsen, and later said that when she listened to it, Qi Hua was already well, and Mrs. Qi didn't pay much attention to this matter. ”

Qi Zheng didn't speak.

Mrs. Qi said again: "Since you have seen that Miss Ji, what do you think of her?" ”

Qi Zheng frowned slightly, "I have met her two or three times from afar, and I haven't said anything, how do I know what Miss Ji is." ”

Mrs. Qi only thinks that Qi is to avoid suspicion, "Xiaohua seems to like her very much, saying that she is knowledgeable and intelligent, I think that you are not young anymore, and my body will not be long in coming, if I can't see you and Xiaohua get married, I won't be blind to death." ”

Qi Zhengdao: "Mother, you said this again, the doctor said, your illness has gradually improved." ”

Mrs. Qi shook her head, "Ah Zheng, you tell me the truth, do you like this Miss Ji?" ”

Qi Zheng had another face floating in front of him, bright and charming, with a slightly bigger mouth than others, which should not be good-looking, but she was surprisingly beautiful on her face. It's just that they are too different from each other, and Qi Zheng doesn't dare to dream of marrying her, since he can't marry the person he wants the most, it doesn't matter who he marries.

It's just that Qi Zheng never considered Ji Cheng. It is true that Ji Cheng was indeed born in a captivating city, and every time he saw her, he would be stunned, but Qi Zheng was not Shen Jing, and he had too many things to worry about.

His mother was sick all the year round, and his father was not angry, and the huge uncle had been defeated by him to the point that he was only an empty shell, so that Qi Hua's dowry was insufficient, and he was unable to find any suitable relatives. This one thing after another weighed on Qi Zheng's heart, and he couldn't breathe.

And Qi Zheng's own future is also bleak, he should have been promoted a long time ago according to his qualifications, but because he didn't have the silver to honor his servants, no one in the palace spoke for him, and he was rushed to go first every time.

If you can marry with the Wang family, a qiē problem can be solved, Qi Zheng sighed slightly. And Ji Cheng has nothing bad, he is beautiful and intelligent, he generally likes to paint, and the Ji family is not short of silver, but Qi Zheng has suffered a lot of cold eyes over the years, and he knows very well that silver can indeed open up some ways, but some prospects cannot be bought with silver, and he needs a very powerful Yue family to do it.

It is for this reason that Qi Zheng always pays special attention to his clothes every time he goes out, and he is to the point of excellence, he knows that if he wants to touch the hearts of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he must first touch the hearts of those little girls.

"Mother, don't worry about these things." Qi Zheng did not answer Mrs. Qi's words directly.

Mrs. Qi was shy.

After two days, Mrs. Qi came to Qi Hua and said: "Last time I heard your brother say that Miss Ji is still your savior, I haven't thanked her personally, if you meet her next time, invite her to come to your house to sit." ”

Qi Hua knew that her mother wanted to see Ji Cheng as soon as she heard it, so she responded with a mouthful.

Ji Cheng got Qi Hua's letter from Shen Cui.

"When did you have a relationship with Qi Hua? What did she write to you? Shen Cui held Ji Cheng's letter in his hand and didn't give it to her.

Ji Cheng stood still quietly, looking at where Shen Cui was jumping around, she was taller than Shen Cui, and her hand was more flexible than her, seeing the opportunity to reach out, she took the letter from Shen Cui's hand lightly.

"Whoa." Shen Cui stomped his feet dissatisfied, "Show me, what did she write to you?" ”

Ji Cheng had already walked away, turned around and threw down a sentence, "Why do you want to show you?" "Shen Cui, you treat her well, she should be afraid of her, give her a proper backlash against Mao, and she will be more restrained.

Shen Cui couldn't do anything with Ji Cheng, he just hated why he didn't take it apart first.

Ji Cheng opened the letter, no different from what she expected, Qi Hua invited her to Yunyang Bofu as a guest, saying that her mother wanted to thank Ji Cheng in person for saving her kindness.
