After what happened last time, Yue Yao and Lu Ying broke up. Lu Ying didn't want to look at Yueyao's cold eyes anymore, so she left with the maid and the maid when she left the courtyard.

After Yueyao went out, she asked Hao's mother, "Did the mansion say when my aunt will come back?" "December is Ma Yue's wedding, and it is impossible for Cheng not to come back to attend his son's wedding. Yueyao is a little strange, it's late October

Hao's mother sent the flower buds to Zhuangzi, and came back after serving the flower buds. Hao's mother said, "Girl, my uncle and wife will probably arrive home at the end of this month. "Hao's mother doesn't have Deng's mother's popularity in Mafu, but Hao's mother is very good at communication, Yueyao lived in Mafu for two months last time, and she has gotten along well with many people in the mansion. Hao's mother didn't ask about anything serious, and everyone was happy

Yue Yao smiled: "At the end of October." "When the Cheng family comes back, Mafu will no longer be as quiet and comfortable as it is now. Of course, even if you are not quiet and comfortable, it is much better than in Lianfu. At least there will be no danger to life in Mafu.

Hao's mother asked in a low voice, "Is the girl ready to go home?" "Hao's mother especially hopes that Yueyao will not go back to Lianfu, she can always be with her granddaughter in Mafu

Yueyao looked at Hao's mother and said, "When we leave, I will send Xiao Tao to my mother's wedding Zhuangzi." When the time comes, she will also live in the country.

Hao's mother was stunned for a moment, but then understood: "The girl means that the Ma Mansion will not be quiet in the future...... "The Cheng family is going to come back, and the second young lady is also going to pass through the door, and it will be a trouble for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to join forces to deal with the eldest young lady."

Yue Yao smiled lightly and didn't say anything.

Hao's mother hesitated for a moment and said, "Girl, why don't I go and inquire about what kind of character that girl is?" Maybe a good one. ”

Yue Yao chuckled: "The eldest cousin is smart and capable, and since the eldest cousin married the eldest cousin, the Ma Mansion has been getting better and better." If the second cousin is like that, the uncle will definitely marry a smart and capable person for her, otherwise she will not be looking for a girl from a merchant family. Yueyao doesn't need to inquire, she can guess a thing or two just by the ideas that Ma Chengteng occasionally reveals, from Ma Chengteng's point of view, it is understandable to choose such a choice, and her son is useless, so he naturally wants to choose a shrewd daughter-in-law. But what the uncle didn't know was that the two daughters-in-law were too powerful, and there would be more disputes.

Hao's mother frowned: "In this case, Mafu is indeed not a quiet place." "The two daughters-in-law are powerful, and no one will let anyone when the time comes, and there must be constant trouble.

Yue Yao smiled: "Mom, I need a quiet environment. "The Tang family who is about to enter the door is no matter how capable and smart she is, but she was born too low, and she is not comparable to Zhuang Ruolan at all. Cheng alone, the eldest cousin is not worried, and if there is only one Tang family, the eldest cousin will definitely be able to suppress the Tang family to death. But if the Cheng family and the Tang family join hands, the eldest cousin will have to think about it at that time. And she needs a quiet environment to paint, and then the battle in Mafu will definitely affect her, and if that is the case, then she will not live in Mafu.

Hao's mother asked a little worriedly, "Girl, will the master agree to let you go to live in Zhuangzi?" Hao's mother didn't think Lian Dongfang would agree.

Yue Yao didn't speak, the uncle would definitely not agree to her going to live in Zhuangzi, she had to sum up this matter with Xiang Wei.

Zhuang Changhe talked to Ma Peng for a long time and went back to the backyard.

Zhuang Ruolan took out a mahogany box in front of Hong's family, and inside the box was the house deed and title deed and a stack of silver tickets.

Zhuang Changhe looked at the back and turned red: "Sister, what are you doing with me?" I've already said no. ”

Zhuang Ruolan watched Zhuang Changhe put these things back on the table, and said with a smile: "Changhe, that day, I was worried that after I left the cabinet, I would leave these things to you and a big man would not take care of them, and I was worried that the Bao family would do something, so I didn't give it to you." Now that you're married, it's time for you to give these things. ”

Zhuang Changhe was angry: "Sister, I don't want it." ”

Zhuang Ruolan's heart was warm, and she said with a smile: "Changhe, the dowry left by my mother should be divided in half by our sister and brother, if I take all of them, what will that sister become?" ”

Zhuang Changhe was anxious: "Sister, these are already your dowries, how can you give them to me." Sister, this can't be done. ”

Zhuang Ruolan shook her head and said, "These are not my dowry, I just keep them for you temporarily." Chang Hyuk, the sister who belongs to you will not want it. Seeing Zhuang Changhe's appearance, Zhuang Ruolan pretended to be angry: "If you don't take it, I won't see you again in the future." ”

Zhuang Changhe was very hesitant, according to his meaning, he would not want it, but Zhuang Ruolan's temperament He also knew that if he didn't take it, Zhuang Ruolan would really not see him.

Ma Peng said with a smile on the side: "Mother-in-law's dowry should be half of your sister and brother, if you don't take it, your sister won't feel at ease." Ma Peng felt that Zhuang Ruolan was doing the right thing, and the brothers and sisters should also settle the accounts clearly, if they disposed of money improperly, it would affect the feelings of the sisters and brothers.

Zhuang Changhe saw that Ma Peng said this, so he could only respond helplessly: "Okay, I'll take it." ”

Zhuang Ruolan immediately turned her anger into a smile: "That's right." Now that you are married, there will be more places to use money in the future, and where will the little money in the public school be enough. "The Bao family is in charge, and there is no money except for the monthly silver. In the past, the expenses were also large, and it was difficult to use his wife's dowry, which was passed on to Hong's mother's family, and her younger brother had insufficient confidence to speak.

Hong didn't say a word from beginning to end, what she said was wrong, so keeping silent was the best way to deal with it, of course, deep down Hong was still very happy. Although the husband is the eldest son of the banker's family, he is now the step-mother-in-law in charge, and he will definitely be nervous about money. Hong doesn't mind using his dowry, but no one is too rich to have.

Back at the dealer's house, Zhuang Changhe handed over the things given by Zhuang Ruolan to the Hong family. Hong was shocked after looking at it, in addition to the real estate shop and land, there were also 40,000 taels of silver. Half of the mother-in-law's dowry is more than all her dowry, no wonder it is said that the mother-in-law married ten miles of red makeup back then.

Zhuang Changhe was not surprised at all, since her sister gave her things, she would not let him suffer: "The silver must be the income of the shop's land over the years, you take care of these things, and they are enough for us." Lady, don't meddle in the affairs of the mansion, even if she asks you to take care of the house, you can shirk it, take care of our yard, and when the three years are over, I will find a vacancy for a foreign appointment at that time. ”

Hong heard the meaning of Zhuang Changhe's words, and hesitated a little: "What the husband means is that we stay out of the affairs of the mansion. Is that appropriate? Husband, you are the eldest son. It's not that Hong is unwilling to give up the banker's money, it's just that she feels that her husband is the eldest son, and this behavior seems to be a little inappropriate.

Zhuang Changhe chuckled: "What's wrong, so that we can have a quiet life." Don't worry, I will be able to support you and your children in the future. ”

Hong's face was blushing: "Husband, ......" Although there is a bit of a gap with her initial idea, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is a dog. Her husband doesn't want the wealth of the Zhuang Mansion, so she naturally listens to her husband. With her own dowry and the dowry left by her mother-in-law, their small family can also live very well.

Zhuang Changhe seemed to see what the Hong family meant, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want the property of the Zhuang family, it's just that the Bao family is now in charge, and she has a reputation to press, if you meddle in the affairs of the mansion, you will definitely suffer." Lady, I am the eldest son, and no one can occupy what I should get, otherwise the clan will not be able to get by. ”

Zhuang Changhyuk didn't want his wife to meddle in the affairs of the Zhuang Mansion. Zhuang Changhe thought very clearly, it was his after all, and Bao couldn't get it after all his efforts.

Cheng and Ma Linlin returned to Mafu on the last day of October.

When Yueyao heard Cheng come back, she paused her hand to lift the pen, then smiled and continued to write, and only after writing this word did she put down the pen, and after freshening up, she went to the upper room to see Cheng.

Yue Yao was very surprised when she went to the upper room to see Cheng and Ma Linlin, both of them had changed so much that Yue Yao was almost unrecognizable.

Cheng wore a stone blue melon and butterfly pattern gown, a ginger skirt, a round bun, two silver hairpins inserted in the sideburns, and two coral turquoise beeswax bead flowers. The dress is very good, but Cheng is very thin, and the jawbones on his face are revealed, and he looks mean.

Ma Linlin has also lost a lot of weight, but she has also grown a lot taller. Ma Linlin is wearing a pink rose-scented tight-fitting jacket today, covered with a stone blue gown, and a moon-white scattered flower skirt. He combed his hair in a bun, wore a red gold step, wore a beeswax stone bead flower, and a pair of jewel pendants fell from his ears. It's the same as ever.

Yueyao greeted Cheng decently. Cheng's and Ma Linlin's appearance must have suffered a lot, looking at Cheng's appearance, Yueyao thought that Ma Fu would also have a toss in the future.

Cheng looked at Yue Yao, and his eyes seemed to be able to eat Yue Yao. If it weren't for this broom star, where would she be sent back to Luzhou by the master to live that life is worse than death. Although Cheng hated Yueyao in her heart, she didn't dare to lose her temper. She was afraid that she would lose her temper and scold Yueyao again, and she would be sent back to Luzhou after Ma Yue got married.

Because of this scruple, although Cheng's face was pale, he didn't say anything excessive.

Ma Linlin looked at Yue Yao, who had a ruddy face and an excellent complexion, and her eyes were not good, and under the influence of the Cheng family, Ma Linlin felt that it was Yue Yao's fault that their mother and daughter suffered such a big crime. Looking at Zhuang Sudan's Yueyao, Ma Linlin snorted coldly: "This is not a dead person, what do you mean by dressing like this?" Deliberately giving us bad luck, right? ”

Yueyao was speechless, why did she pick a thorn as soon as she came back: "Cousin, my dress is embroidered with orchids, and there are patterns embroidered on the side, how can a person who guards filial piety wear such clothes." If my cousin doesn't like me, I'll just say it, there's no need to find such an excuse to pick on me. "Her clothes are a little lighter, where can give people bad luck.

Yueyao didn't care about Ma Linlin's look, Ma Fu was not good, so she went to live in Zhuangzi in the countryside, anyway, she would never look at people's eyes, so she didn't speak politely.

Cheng hated Yueyao's arrogance, this was her home, but now she gave in to an outsider, Cheng put this tone in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yueyao, don't mind, Linlin is also unintentional." Don't worry about her. ”

Ma Linlin's face was ugly, but she also knew that Yueyao was favored by her father, and if she offended Yueyao, she would definitely suffer at that time.

At this time, Lu Ying came over. Yueyao's Begonia Garden is very close to the upper room, and Lu Ying's place of residence is much more remote, so she came relatively late.

As soon as Lu Ying came, Ma Linlin's attention immediately shifted. Ma Linlin looked at Lu Ying, who was ruddy and dressed in flowers, and her eyes erupted with fire.

Ma Linlin remembered that she was living a miserable life in Luzhou, but Lu Ying ate and drank spicy food at their house, and dressed up so brightly, anger rose in her heart. Lu Ying's life is more nourishing than that of her, a genuine girl from the Ma family.

Cheng looked at Lu Ying, and anger flashed in her eyes, but she knew that she had to be kind now, so that her husband knew that she had become better: "Ying'er, I haven't seen her for more than a year, and she has grown into a big girl, and she is getting more and more beautiful." ”

Lu Ying's face was a little red: "My aunt has won the award." ”

Yue Yao said, "Uncle, if it's okay, I'll go back." "She didn't want to watch Cheng acting here.

Although Cheng was a little annoyed, he was very open-minded.

After Yue Yao went out, she said strangely: "What's wrong with them?" It's all like this. "It looked like I had suffered a lot.

Hao's mother nodded: "I must have suffered a lot of crimes." "Where can a person who has not suffered such a crime, it seems that my uncle also has a deep meaning in sending Cheng back.

Drizzle said worriedly: "Girl, I look at Miss Ma and look at you very unkindly. Girl, we need to be careful. "They suffered a big loss last time, and this time they must guard against Ma Linlin.

Yue Yao chuckled, "Cousin won't come to me for trouble." "Every time Ma Linlin is right: she can't take advantage, unless she is a fool and deliberately runs to Haitang Garden to trouble him"

Drizzle still said uneasily: "Girl, let's be careful."

As Yue Yao expected, Cheng had suffered enough in Luzhou. The remaining lady of the Ma family didn't like it when she saw Cheng, the old man lived for more than seventy years, and he had a lot of things, and his eyes were very poisonous. So when Cheng arrived in Luzhou, he was taken by this lady. As long as Cheng's little bit is not good, this lady will ask her to copy the scriptures and women's rings, and when she copies the scriptures, she only has two steamed buns and a bowl of vegetarian dishes for three meals a day. Cheng has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never suffered, but this time he suffered a lot in Luzhou.

Ma Linlin's life is not easy, when she first arrived in Luzhou, she was very proud and like a peacock, but after being locked in the house by Mrs. Tai for a month, the whole person withered. This lady also invited a powerful mother-in-law to follow her, and Ma Linlin suffered enough from this mother-in-law.

After Ma Linlin waited for Lu Ying to leave, she said hatefully: "Mother, this is my family, why do you want to let them go to me?" If it hadn't been for Cheng's obstruction, she would have taught these two people a lesson.

Cheng's face was full of anger, and he said hatefully: "Let them be proud for the time being, and let them return it with interest in the future." ”

Ma Linlin remembered what Cheng had said before, and hesitated: "Mother, I heard my mother say that my father told my brother that she was a girl from a merchant family?" Is this true? ”

Cheng was furious when she talked about this, she didn't expect Ma Chengteng to set such a family affair for Ma Yue, which was to step her son into the mud.
