After the New Year, the Shen family proposed to the Chu family, the atmosphere of the New Year has not yet dispersed, the red lanterns on the street have not been removed, and the long line of the Shen family to give dowry gifts walked to the Chu family in response to the occasion, attracting the attention of many people.

When Shen Shijin married the Tian family, the Shen family's dowry was also generous, and the amount of this dowry was enough to show the importance of this daughter-in-law who had not entered the door.

Intentionally counted it, it was the same as the dowry when Shen Shijin married back then, Shen Shixuan was from the second room, and this kind of treatment was to tell others that the Shen family did not attach special importance to the title of eldest grandson.

The Chu family was also shocked by this dowry, Qiao Cong'an looked at the people who kept coming in to carry the box, and it was the concubine of the Shen family's second room who came to give the dowry, Shen Shixuan's younger brother Shen Shichang, who gave the dowry list to Qiao Cong'an, and this dowry was to be put in the courtyard for others to see.

By the time Chu Yiyao got the dowry list, it was already night, the Shen family's dowry was not only in quantity, but also not at all, Chu Yiyao didn't know how much the Shen family had when Shen Shijin married his wife, but when she married into the Yan family, in order to show her sincerity, Mrs. Yan had a lot of dowry, and it was only half of the gift list.

"The dowry left by your mother is locked, and your father left this before leaving, saying that he would give you a dowry when your family affairs are decided." Qiao Cong'an took out the things that had been kept for many years, it was a red brocade box, and Chu Yiyao knew that it was one-third of the Chu family's property that his father and mother had left for him.

Like in her previous life, Qiao Cong'an never thought of filling her pockets with this, she took Chu Yiyao's hand and sighed slightly, "You were still very young when I came, only five years old, and now ten years have passed, and you have grown into a big girl, and you are going to get married." ”

Chu Yiyao's wedding date is set for the beginning of the next year, ten years have passed quickly for Qiao Cong'an, and now she will be at home for a year.

"Your second brother's marriage is decided, you are also going to get married, the big stones in my heart have been put down, I think I should not be ashamed of your eldest brother." Qiao Cong'an is just an ordinary person, like Chu Yiyao, she tried her best to make the Chu family live well, but she didn't think about herself, which is also where Chu Yiyao feels sorry for her.

Chu Yiyao moved the box and grabbed Qiao Cong'an's hand, "Sister-in-law, the second brother's marriage is decided, and I want to get married, so what about you." ”

Qiao Cong'an was stunned by her question, then smiled and poked her forehead, "What about me, I'm not good here, I'll take care of Yingzhu well, you are all fine, I'll rest assured." ”

Halfway, Chu Yiyao looked at her smiling eyes and spit out a few words, "What about Huaishan." ”

After a moment of silence, Qiao Cong'an's smile gradually faded a little, and if there was a sigh, Chu Yiyao said again, "Others say that the uncle is so good, my brother will take care of you, the long-lost sister, in the Chu family without marrying, but you and I also know what the uncle is for." ”

"Yiyao, your eldest brother." Qiao Cong'an was interrupted by Chu Yiyao as soon as he spoke, "My eldest brother doesn't want you to go on like this alone, sister-in-law, you have been married to him for many years, don't you understand the character of the eldest brother." ”

"Uncle has been lonely for so many years, and you have seen all those things in the past, sister-in-law, why can't you give uncle a chance."

Qiao Cong'an looked up and his eyes were full of surprise, his sister-in-law persuaded him to accept another man, which was simply a fantasy.

Chu Yiyao said it so bluntly for the first time, "Our family is not a family that eats old times, the life of a living person is more important than anything else, my father and mother left Huizhou and came here to have the current Chu family, the Chu family has no such rules, and the sister-in-law does not have to be widowed for the eldest brother for a lifetime." ”

Qiao Cong'an was silent, if you talk about feelings, they are all accumulated when you were a child, although the memory is vague, but Qiao Cong'an also knows that she has a sense of closeness to Huaishan, she has been in the past 20 years, except for the accident at the age of five, the rest of the days have been smooth, and she has lived a good life in Qiao's family, and later married and had children, and the Chu family has been treating her very well.

And in the past twenty years, he has suffered so much in order to find himself.

What she insists on is just the simplest thing, husband and child, and if her husband has an accident, then raise her son well.

Chu Yiyao's words made her feel in vain that these perseverances did not seem to be the most important.

"Sister-in-law, you can also see how sticky Ying Zhu is to his uncle, one day he will grow up, and he will marry a wife and have children, sister-in-law doesn't need to worry about him." Chu Yiyao patted her hands, everything was said about this, no matter how much she didn't have to say, she could only rely on her sister-in-law if she didn't figure it out...

The beginning of the year was a happy event, and then the successive orders in the commercial bank were busy with everyone, although tired, but they were very happy, the impact of the five shops brought a lot of orders to the Chu family, and the deposit was also received as scheduled, plus some merchants who came back from Jinling, a merchant ship, I am afraid it will not be enough to transport.

"We can't be too anxious, they want this amount, we can only give less, and we must not give more." If there are more things, it will spread too quickly, and when others receive the news and follow this transaction, they will not make any money, "There are few things, so that they feel that they sell well, they will continue to place orders with the Chu family, and they will do it two or three times, and when the time comes, they will give some benefits, and the guests will be stable." ”

Chu Yiyao heard Chu Duyuan say this to Chu Zhong, the smile on her face couldn't be covered, the second brother's words were what she meant, and in the past few days, the second brother has learned very quickly.

"Miss, it is said that Second Master Chu has opened another shop in the Crescent River Market." The steward Wang who came in sent a new list and said casually.

Chu Yiyao raised her head with interest, "Oh? What to sell? ”

"There are few porcelain sellers in the Crescent River Market, and Second Master Chu opened one, which was only opened yesterday, and when our guys passed by in the morning, we saw that there were quite a few people who went in." The king's steward also listened to his fellows.

"The second uncle left the Chu family, and it was a good mix." Chu Yiyao's words are sincere, with the talent of the second uncle, the Chu family firm is indeed a talented person, he has made a lot of money in the firm in the past two years, and it is enough to go out and open his own shop, which is better than going back to Huizhou, and he can't take advantage of the Chu family in Huizhou.

Chu Yiyao took the list and said casually, "Find someone to go around his shop and see what kind of shop he bought." ”

Steward Wang went out in response, Chu Yiyao raised her eyes to look at Chu Duyuan, the latter's face was slightly calm, she smiled, "I can't do it, it has nothing to do with our family, Jinling today is not like my father and mother were back then, he can make it if he wants to, and it is not easy to make it bigger." ”

"He still wants to make it bigger, just these few shops." Chu Duyuan snorted, there are many shops in Jinling, how many people want, businessmen everywhere.

Chu Yiyao picked up the pen and wrote it down in another notebook, "Don't say it, the second uncle's mind, of course he wants to do the same as his father, and it is better to be bigger than his father's back then." "A mother's compatriot, Master Chu had such a big heart back then to create a career in Jinling, and Chu Hanlin, as his younger brother, was also very angry, but Master Chu was diligent in his duty, and the other tried in vain to swallow his brother's step to the sky.

Chu Duyuan looked angry and said with a smile, "Then let's see how much our second uncle can do." ”

The merchant ships set sail one after another, and the Chu family began to prepare for the marriage of Chu Duyuan in May, and at this time, another news overshadowed the matter of the Shen family's dowry, and the Shen family and the Shui family were going to get married.

This is not a new thing, the two families were originally in-laws in Mr. Shen's generation, Mrs. Shen is a member of the Shui family, and others are talking about the two people in this marriage, Shen Shijin and Shui Ruoqian.

One is Shui Ruoqian, who has just died of his wife for more than a year, and the other is Shui Ruoqian, who will really become an old girl without getting married.

It stands to reason that this marriage should be done quickly, Shui Ruoqian is now seventeen, but when it came to Old Man Shen, the date of this marriage could not be decided.

Old man Shen didn't stop his eldest daughter-in-law from choosing a date, just a request, he couldn't choose before the day when Shen Shixuan got married, this time the Yan family was not happy, what does it matter if you choose sooner or later, marry early, this is done, and this Shui Ruoqian is not young, she will marry next year, when will she have a grandson to hold.

But Old Man Shen just didn't agree, it was only a year since the Tian family died, and he was in such a hurry to get married, and the Tian family really had no way to save it, but the Yan family didn't think so.

The son can marry a wife one step earlier and enter the door, this is a strong force, hurry up and give birth to a great-grandson, what else is so good in the second room, and the water family is also a big help to the son, now the old man is so open, in case it is the second room that has a body first, she is not busy in vain.

But the old man Shen disagreed, the Yan family had no way at all, the old man did not agree, the two masters of the Shen family would never intervene, and it was not the turn of the juniors to say this, the Yan family was ruthless, and directly set this date in February of the next year, and there was only twenty days left to marry Shen Shixuan.

Outsiders who don't know the inside story heard about such a compact wedding, and thought that the Shen family was trying to save money, so the lanterns hung up were all picked up, and they just waited for the eldest young master of the Shen family to marry Miss Shui.

Some of the words passed on and changed directly, and when they reached Shui Ruoqian's ears, they had already become how to use the leftover of this Shui family's young lady, and her husband was also used by others, and when the wedding came, this purchase could also be directly used by the second young master of the Shen family.

Shui Ruoqian cried directly, smashing the things in the room and lying on the small table and crying, and the maid who spread the word on the side stood aside and was afraid to speak.

How could she not be aggrieved, and her father made a final decision on the marriage she didn't want to agree to.

She was reluctant to marry Shen Shijin, her mother said that for the sake of her younger brother, the Shen family's husband's family would be of great help to the younger brother in the future, and her sister would be the eldest granddaughter-in-law in the Shen family, so that the younger brother could stand firm in front of his father when he grew up.

Mrs. Shui hurriedly came to comfort her when she got the news of her daughter's temper, hugged her and said, "How can it be taken seriously." After that, he glared at the broken maid and patted Shui Ruoqian's back, "The days are in a hurry because I want to marry you as soon as possible, after all, the Tian family has only been gone for a year, and it will take two years to pretend to be, how can you be angry about what you said outside." ”

"Then why not before them, after them, mother, I am already wronged enough to marry the Shen family, and I have to be gossiped about by others in this matter, what do you mean by using the rest, why didn't you and your father insist that I marry Shixuan, if you insist, how could he not listen to the refusal of the elders, and I can't still marry at this age." If it takes another year, why isn't it twenty days earlier than Shen Shixuan, and if it has to be twenty days late, isn't this just a slap in the face.

"He said that the relatives were earlier than yours, and everything has to be first-come, first-come." Mrs. Shui was helpless for Master Shui not insisting on her daughter marrying Shen Shixuan, for no other reason, she just felt that Shen Shixuan was not good enough.

Shui Ruoqian's eyes are all unwilling, they are all excuses, what is this kind of thing that comes first and then comes, these people all want to see her laugh.

But she didn't have a choice, if the Cao family came to propose, her father would definitely agree, and if she was someone else, the Shui family would not look down on her. At this time, the Shen family came to say goodbye, and through the relationship between Mrs. Shen, my father was very satisfied with this family affair, and for him, the benefits of the union of the two families were what he was most concerned about...
