As the main mother, Xiao Yang's family has always controlled the affairs of the inner house very tightly, and the internal and external housekeepers are all her cronies. After she fell ill, the doctor diagnosed her with an impatience and told her that she must recuperate for a period of time and never be tired. She was already a selfish and life-sparing person, and felt that since the treasury was empty, she didn't have to worry about the slaves filling their own pockets, so she simply put her hand away for the time being, and secretly thought about dealing with the lack of money.

And the ladies in charge lost their backbones, and they didn't dare to make their own decisions about everything, and when they saw the Wang family, they gradually became chaotic. Within two days, Wang Chang felt that this was not suitable or inappropriate, and the days were far less comfortable than usual, and he couldn't help but lose his temper. But he has always been impatient with these trivial affairs, and Wang Zixian is very busy, so he has to let Wang Luoniang take care of these chores.

Wang Luoniang has been by Xiao Yang's side since she was a child, and she has also learned some means of dealing with the affairs of the inner house. Arranged by her, it seems to be orderly on the surface, and the Wang family has temporarily restored its tranquility. So, she hurriedly invited Wang Chang and the prince to make contributions, and after receiving a few words of praise, she became more and more confident.

After two or three days, when she remembered to look at the account book, she was dumbfounded. For a moment, she even thought that the account book had been tampered with, and she thought about taking a few housekeepers down to teach her a lesson. When these ladies in charge opened the warehouse, she looked at the emptiness inside in a daze, and her expression suddenly changed. I don't know what she remembered, as soon as she bit her silver teeth, she immediately ran to the inner hall to see Xiao Yang.

A lady in charge felt that this matter was not good, and quietly went to Wang Chang to report the news. Unexpectedly, Wang Zixian was also in Wang Chang's study, and the father and son were discussing the spring and snow, where would they have time to take care of mundane affairs? As a result, the crying in the hall was better than a while, and the two of them knew nothing.

Just when it seemed that the father and son were filial and happy, suddenly a servant came to report: "Erlang is back!" ”

"Jiro?" Wang Chang got up with doubts, "Shouldn't he be preparing a dowry in Chang'an?" Why did you come back all of a sudden? Isn't the dowry already ready? "The dowry is not more elaborate than the dowry, as long as you have enough money and search carefully in the eastern and western cities, you can arrange it neatly even in a day or two. At this time, it has been ten days since Wang Ziling started to buy it, and if he is faster, he should indeed be ready.

Wang Zixian curled the corners of his lips: "Ziling is really thoughtful, if it is neatly arranged, it should also be let Grandpa and Mother take a look." "What Wang Ziling has done, he knows very well. Sun Rong had shops in both the east and west markets, and was engaged in the business of silk and satin, silk and tea, and made a lot of money by selling expensive fabrics such as Wangjia Yuezhou silk and Shu brocade and Su brocade. Even many "precious" objects were also the threads he pulled from them, and Wang Ziling also gave him a large amount of thanks.

It is said that all the piles and piles that Wang Ziling bought were nodded by Yang Qian. Xu is Yang Xiangtou's vision is too high, and Xu is trying to hollow out the heart of the Wang family as much as possible through his marriage, and after spending dozens of gold, he actually purchased twenty-four dowries, and there are still eight of them missing. He came back at this time, not for anything else, but for money - but, if you think about it carefully, how much money does the Wang family have left now?

Wang Chang didn't know Wang Ziling's plans for this trip, and when he heard that his most beloved son had returned, he waited for him to come to see him with a smile. Who knew that Wang Ziling just hurriedly came over to salute him, and before he could say a few words, he was about to retire: "I heard that A-Niang is sick, and the child is really worried. Let the child go to meet Grandma, and then come to talk to Grandpa. ”

After he stepped back, Wang Chang couldn't help but sigh: "What a good boy who is filial." ”

The prince sneered in his heart: he is indeed a filial son, and he has used various means to attract Xiao Yang's flesh and bloodletting for many years, which is simply "extremely filial". Moreover, the Wang family has been in chaos for the past few days, who would have thought of sending a letter to Chang'an, informing Wang Ziling and Wang Zimu that Xiao Yang was sick? This filial son also didn't know when he planted eyeliner at home, and secretly passed on the news to him at any time, which was really "excellent".

It didn't take long for a lady in charge to come in a panic and say, "Oh no! Wife...... The lady fainted again! Jiro and the big lady are going to have a falling out!! ”

As soon as he finished praising his capable daughter and filial son, he heard such a degrading news about the family's demeanor, Wang Chang's face was really a little unbearable, and he immediately rushed to the inner hall of the main courtyard with Wang Zixian. As soon as the father and son stepped into the main courtyard, they heard a loud noise coming from the inner hall. The sharp one is naturally Wang Luoniang, and the impatient one is Wang Ziling.

"Thirty-two dowry! Could it be that they are all made of gold? A-Niang filled in the grange and shop in Huazhou, which is full of dozens of gold, and can't fill your bottomless pit? ! If ordinary people have so much money, it is enough to buy a mansion in Chang'an!! You still ask A-Niang for money?! The storeroom at home is empty, and there is not enough food and clothing!! How can there be any money for you!! ”

"Shut up! I'm your brother!! How can you talk to your brother like this?! It's just a grange and a shop, what's the hurry? Could it be that the family is already so poor that they can't even take out a hundred times? There are only the last eight lifts left, and the purchase must be neatly arranged!! You, you, only staring at such a small amount of money all day long, your eyelids are too shallow! In the future, Shi Niang will marry in, and the dowry will only be more!! ”

"The dowry is her own! What does it have to do with us?! Can you still get her to give me a dowry? Can you still get her to give me a dowry?! A-Niang said clearly before that the grange and shop in Huazhou should have been counted in my dowry!! Now it's all for you!! What can I do in the future?! ”

"A little lady, what does it look like to read the dowry all day long? You're just too late now, and you'll have to wait two years to get married! In two years, can't I save you a dowry of sixty-four?! ”

"You save me a dowry?! That's a nice thing to say!! What do you have to save me for a dowry? Do you think I don't know, what kind of clumsy excuse did you use to defraud A-Niang's private money in the past?! If it weren't for the fact that you are my brother, I would have exposed you to Grandpa and Auntie!! Also under Mr. Zhou's door, San Lang is very frugal in food and clothing, but you say that you want money to spend every once in a while! The money you asked for from A-Niang in the past few years, how many Zhuangzi shops have been sold by A-Niang, do you know? ! ”

"Heh, you're just getting into the eye of money! I don't care about you!! ”

"You are so angry that you faint! If you want to care, it should be me and you!! You climbed Yang Shangshu's house, and you thought you were sorry?! San Lang said it, in fact, this marriage was calculated by you! The Yang family is not interested in you at all, but the eldest brother! The eldest brother is the head of the new department, and what are you? Why did the Yang family choose you?! ”

"Shut up!!" Accompanied by Wang Ziling's roar, there was a crisp slap, followed by Wang Luoniang's sudden cry: "You dare to hit me? Even Auntie and Grandpa were never willing to touch me, you actually ...... How dare you slap me! I must sue Grandpa and Grandpa and Auntie and let them make the decision for me!! ”

Wang Chang's face turned pale: the children of the dignified Langya Wang family, when they quarrel, they are no different from the people in the market, if it is spread out, how can his face remain? ! Moreover, the reason why the two brothers and sisters tore their faces is just for the grange shop, just for "profit", how vulgar and shallow? !

Wang Zixian squinted: The grange and shop in Huazhou are the dowry of his aunt Da Yang, and Xiao Yang actually promised Wang Luoniang as a dowry? The skin is really thick, presumably she must have thought that these were her own? Da Yang's dowry list is still in his hands, and every dowry must be returned to her as it was!

When Wang Chang angrily pushed the door in, there was a sudden silence in the inner hall.

Wang Luoniang covered her red and swollen face, looked at Wang Ziling hatefully, and complained cryingly: "Grandpa, the second brother only cared about asking for money, and A-Niang was so angry that she fainted. Reason with him, he actually made a move......"

Wang Ziling immediately defended: "It was Luo Niang who was aggressive and said something heartbreaking, and the child was really angry, so he couldn't help but lose his temper ......."

"Shut up!!" Wang Chang looked at them with disappointment, and suddenly felt that the two of them together could not compare to a prince who could make his face shine. He looked back and looked at Wang Zixian—a jade tree in the wind, a gentleman, and a gentle gentleman—this was the demeanor of their children of the Langya Wang.

"Grandpa, don't be angry." Wang Zixian immediately comforted in a timely manner, "The two of them are still young, but they are just fighting for a while. Luo Niang, you go back to the courtyard to rest, I will ask the doctor to show you the injury in a while, and apply medicine to reduce the swelling earlier. These days should be the time for the little lady to go out to play, if your injury is healed, take Xiang Niang out for a walk and relax. You shouldn't be bothered to take care of things at home. ”

So far, he has never spoken to Wang Luoniang so closely, and every word is extremely appropriate, and it has simply entered people's hearts. Hearing this, Wang Luoniang couldn't help but be stunned, nodded, and tears poured down: "Big brother, who am I spending all my effort for these days......"

"We can save it, let's go." The prince glanced at the personal maid beside her, and after they left, he frowned and said to Wang Ziling, "Ziling, according to my previous inquiry, dozens of gold is enough to buy thirty-two dowry gifts, maybe it is more than enough. Why are you still short of money? ”

"The dowry list was read by my cousin for me, and his meaning is naturally the meaning of the county prince." Wang Ziling replied a little reluctantly, "All the stewards can testify for me, and I spent all the money given by my mother on preparing for the dowry, and I didn't dare to take it out for personal use." ”

"Grandpa...... Look at ......" Wang Zixian had to shake his head and look at Wang Chang with a sad expression.

"......" Wang Chang sighed, "When your aunt wakes up, I'll ask her again." There are only eight lifts left, and after taking out a hundred guan, we can invite the official media to go to the Yang family to propose marriage and start the six ceremonies. "He has always been a careless person, and if he is allowed to take a hundred times, he will definitely not be able to take it out no matter what.

Xiao Yang was still in a coma, and Wang Chang had no intention of saying anything else to them. So, Wang Zixian and Wang Ziling retired one after another.

A little later, Wang Zixian heard that Xiao Yang had just woken up, and before he had time to take a few breaths, he immediately fainted again after hearing about the incident and the news that Wang Luoniang and Wang Ziling were opposed.

He couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips: Heh, this is just the beginning.
