203 Ma Yue's Marriage (middle)

Yueyao didn't refuse, because Zhuang Ruolan was the first to put it forward. Yueyao felt that Zhuang Ruolan would not do things for no reason.

The assignment was assigned by the Cheng family, and the errand that Yueyao was in charge of was to manage the gifts given by the guests and record these things in the book; Lu Ying's errand is to manage the utensils, that is, all kinds of things to be used for marriage, those used and those who are returned must be registered; Ma Linlin is in charge of the pantry, specializing in dealing with the guests' entertainment. Among the three people, Ma Linlin's errand is the most tedious and the most testing.

Yueyao doesn't like housework, but if she has the heart to learn, she will definitely spend all her experience to learn. This is what Lian Dongbo taught her, it doesn't matter if she doesn't learn, once she wants to learn, she must learn seriously.

Yueyao took out twelve points of heart to learn, Yueyao management actually has a foundation, before Mama Wang taught them how to manage the house, but what they taught was theory, and now they just put what they learned into practice.

Don't look at the gift of just registering guests, there is a lot of knowledge in this. From the degree of intimacy of the gift, it can be seen that the guest is intimate with the Li family. The gift of the relationship is heavy; The relationship is generally like a gift given by a bureaucracy, and the relationship is average or it doesn't matter, if you give a heavy gift, there must be something in it.

Yueyao didn't feel embarrassed if she didn't understand, so she asked Hao's mother directly, and if Hao's mother didn't say anything, she would ask Zhuang Ruolan.

Yueyao could only sigh when she heard it, and said, "It's really full of learning. Hao's mother chuckled and said, "Yes, there is learning everywhere." It is only right for girls to learn more. "My own girl is a scholar, and it's really hard for her to learn this. But what these girls should learn must be learned.

Zhuang Ruolan was very pleased with Yueyao's humble attitude towards learning. She was afraid that Yueyao would be obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and she would look down on these chores with pride. Even if she is the second daughter-in-law in the future, she will not have to care about the food and clothing of a large family in the future, at least she must know how to take care of her dowry, so that it is not easy to be fooled.

Caiyun said with a smile on the side: "Young lady, even the girl is in business where someone will be coaxed." Miss Yueyao had just had no intention of learning housework before, but now she is doing well when she starts to learn. ”

Zhuang Ruolan shook her head: "It would be nice if the eldest girl and Miss Ying could be the same as Yueyao." ”

Ma Linlin manages the pantry according to Cheng's set, but now the rules of Mafu are implemented in accordance with the system formulated by Zhuang Ruolan, so Ma Linlin has a lot of chaos in the pantry for a day, but she is unwilling to listen to the words of the maid around her, so she only asks Cheng's for advice, and the result is getting more and more chaotic.

Lu Ying is humble to ask for advice, but she is not very open, she always asks and asks one thing, and she is afraid of making mistakes again, which makes the maids and daughters around her speechless.

Cheng also made several mistakes in handling affairs, almost making jokes, and finally Ma Chengteng spoke and let Zhuang Ruolan take charge.

In the first two days of Ma Yue's marriage, the errands of the three people were delivered, and if something happened again when they got married, it would definitely be a joke.

Zhuang Ruolan called the three people over and told them about the problems they had in charge of the past few days, and asked them to pay attention to them in the last three days. Yueyao is better, and the worst is Ma Linlin.

Ma Linlin was unwilling to admit defeat, and said unhappily: "The matter in the pantry is so trivial, if I am asked to do her business, I will definitely do it better than her." ”

Zhuang Ruolan was speechless to the extreme, she didn't even know a few words to take care of the gift list, and she didn't have a brain in water, how could she let her take care of this matter.

Lu Ying didn't speak on the side.

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "The ceremony has been almost finished, if you have the heart, you can also help entertain the guests during the wedding banquet." ”

Ma Linlin's first consideration was not whether she was competent, but hurriedly asked, "What does Yueyao do?" ”

Yueyao didn't need Zhuang Ruolan to say, she avoided herself: "Cousin, I still have filial piety on me, and it is not good to appear on the wedding day." "The filial piety on her body is excepted, but even the filial piety of the family has not disappeared.

Lu Ying looked at Zhuang Ruolan and asked weakly, "Cousin-in-law, what can I do?"

Zhuang Ruolan smiled lovingly: "You can entertain guests with Linlin that day!" After a pause, he said, "There must be a lot of ladies coming over that day, and you should entertain them well." ”

A bright color flashed on Lu Ying's face.

Yueyao was surprised, and the lady in charge outside came to pay respects. Yueyao had nothing to do and went straight back to Begonia Garden, while Lu Ying was left by Ma Linlin to listen to Zhuang Ruolan's orders.

Yue Yao shook her head and said to Hao's mother beside her: "These things are really cumbersome. It's not easy for my cousin. Seeing that Zhuang Ruolan handled these things in an orderly manner, she was impressed, she didn't have the ability.

Hao's mother chuckled: "If the girl can continue to be like this, she will definitely be as capable as the young lady in the future." "As long as her girl works hard, she can do everything well

After Caiyun waited for the housekeeper to go out, she said with some worry: "Girl, is it inappropriate for you to let the eldest girl receive guests?" What if something goes wrong? ”

Zhuang Ruolan said indifferently: "If something goes wrong, something goes wrong." "Some small mistakes are irrelevant, and they can be done without mistakes on the big picture. Anyway, her husband is tired of this half-brother and sister, and Cheng's is not good to her, why does she do things so well?

Caiyun didn't speak anymore.

On the day of the makeup, Yueyao didn't go to join in the fun, but went to see Xijuan, who was in the fun, and came back and said: "Girl, the Tang family is really rich, a total of one hundred and twenty dowries, and each dowry is full." Everything in it is superb. I heard those mothers-in-law say that these dowries can be worth 70,000 or 80,000 taels. ”

Yue Yao was not surprised at all, she knew why Ma Chengteng would make such a choice, her son could not succeed in martial arts, and it would be more affordable to marry a daughter-in-law who was not from a high background but was capable and rich, so that at least she could have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and become a rich man; And the Tang family's willingness to marry their daughter naturally takes a fancy to the Ma family's family. It is difficult for the daughter of a merchant family to marry into an official family. The real scholarly family is very particular about this. It's like a family, let alone a son-in-law, even if it's a concubine, if it weren't for a reason, he wouldn't marry a girl from a merchant's family. So she was not surprised at all by Tang's rich dowry, which was expected.

Hao's mother used to think that Ma Chengteng was a nonsense, but now she sees him marrying a daughter-in-law for her son, but she can see it clearly, and said: "The eldest young lady's dowry is one hundred and twenty-eight dowry, and these dowries are no less than seventy or eighty thousand gold, and now the second young lady is only eight times less than the eldest young lady, and the uncle is really good at picking a daughter-in-law!" Although the dowry is a woman's private property, as long as nothing goes wrong, the dowry will remain in the husband's house.

Yue Yao chuckled: "Uncle is good for the second cousin, but my aunt doesn't understand my uncle's good intentions. I think my aunt is full of thoughts about finding a noble girl for my second cousin. ”

Hao's mother shook her head and said, "If the second young master can be the same as the eldest young master, then it is naturally good to marry the family." But the second young master has no fame so far, and it is more affordable to marry a concubine from a wealthy family than to marry such a family. ”

Ma Peng got this good family business that fell from the sky that day, and the origin is also that he has a reputation for raising people, and he is also the eldest son who inherited the family business. But Ma Yue is not even a showman now, where will a wealthy family marry his daughter. The more wealthy the family, the more expensive the concubine, because they all use their concubines to marry. If you can't marry a concubine, it's not cost-effective to marry a concubine. The concubines do not have a wide range of knowledge and contacts, and they are generally only weak, unable to support a family, let alone have a lot of dowry.

Yue Yao chuckled, "If she could think like this, she wouldn't make a mess of the Ma family inside and outside." Until now, I only hope that my uncle's vision is really good. Yueyao also had a sentence, if the Cheng family could be so reasonable, they would not teach such a pair of children.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is still the uncle who is the father. Forget about the daughter, after all, the daughter is the mother's teacher. But the two sons didn't teach a good one. If she hadn't interfered in the eldest cousin's affairs, the eldest cousin would have been ruined by Cheng. Let the eldest cousin marry Cheng Lizi, and the Ma family will definitely be as defeated as in the previous life.

As Yueyao thought, the Cheng family looked down on the Tang family, and the Cheng family's family background was not as good as the Ma family, but her father was an official, and now there are still officials in the family, how could she look down on the Tang family, who was born in a merchant family, even if she heard that the Tang family had a rich dowry. What's the use of a rich dowry, it can't give his son a little help. It's just that Cheng knows the current situation, if she dares to make trouble, she will definitely be sent back to Luzhou, and she doesn't want to live that kind of life is worse than death.

That night, Yueyao got news from Lianfu. Yue Yao read the message sent by Deng's mother, and handed it to Xiang Wei after reading it. The news handed over by Deng's mother said that Lian Dongfang had recently summoned his former servants frequently, especially Li San twice.

Xiang Wei frowned after reading it, and said after a while: "Girl, I'm afraid that Lian Dongfang has already known about the booklet." Although the news did not reveal much, the other party must have been suspicious of Lian Dongfang's unusual actions during this time.

Yue Yao was stunned for a moment, but then she understood, not so much that they doubted themselves, but that they doubted Xiang Wei. Xiang Wei appeared too suddenly, I am afraid that they have already guessed Xiang Wei's identity. In this way, I must also suspect that she did something last time.

Xiang Wei was a little worried: "Girl, if my guess is correct, I'm afraid that the girl will be more and less lucky when she goes back this time." "She will definitely not deliver the thing when she sees Yueyao's appearance, and this thing is very important to Lian Dongfang, Lian Dongfang will definitely try to get it, and in the end, maybe the other party will poison him.

Yue Yao chuckled, "Don't be afraid." "She's not afraid, Ma Fu will send a mother-in-law to see her the next day, if she dies, the big house will definitely be finished. Yue Yao was not worried about herself, but she was worried that Lian Dongfang would be bad for Ting Zheng, so she wrote a letter to the Li Mansion and told Ting Zheng not to return to Lian's house before the Chinese New Year.

After saying this, Yueyao asked Xiang Wei to go down: "I want to be quiet." ”

After Xiang Wei went out, Yue Yao took the book of poetry and fell into deep thought. This thing must not be brought back to the Lian family, she will not let the uncle get this thing, and she believes that the uncle will not do anything to her until she gets this thing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yueyao finally had an idea.
