Chapter 296: The Dowry Dispute

This question is very important, and it will determine what kind of new eyes Liu Ruoxi will look at the people and things of the palace in the future. However, this matter is so sensitive that you must not ask it aggressively, you can only knock on the side and investigate slowly and secretly.

"Leave it to me." Rong Chenghan said.

This time, Liu Ruoxi did not object.

"There is also a seventh sister there......" Liu Ruoxi reminded Rong Chenghan again.

"I know, you don't have to worry." Rong Chenghan gently patted Liu Ruoxi's back, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. Rong Chenghan actually didn't understand in his heart, although Su Qingnuan did stumble on Liu Ruoxi, but he and Liu Ruoxi both knew that Su Qingnuan had another purpose in the palace. Liu Ruoxi didn't need to be like this, but Liu Ruoxi seemed to be more scruples and worried about Su Qingnuan than the princess.

Or because he cares too much about himself, even if he knows that no one can snatch him, he has no intention of Su Qingnuan, but he still can't help but be jealous. Rong Chenghan pursed his lips. No matter what Liu Ruoxi said, the care and affection for him in her heart were revealed from every detail.

He is lucky to marry Liu Ruoxi, there are many couples in the world who look like each other, but they are in love and can be called confidants to each other.

Because of the many affairs, Rong Chenghan had to go out early and return late, but he still tried to find time to accompany Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi was not idle, she not only mobilized the strength of the Liu family, but also secretly investigated in her own way.

The palace is peaceful, in a blink of an eye, the summer heat is gone, the first yellow leaves fall from the trees in the garden, and autumn is just around the corner.

King Yongjing and Rong Chenghan became more and more busy, because they had to prepare to accompany the emperor on the autumn hunt.

Liu Ruoxi's body gradually became a little bulky. On this day, the second wife Liu went to the palace to see Liu Ruoyuan, and the mother and daughter talked for a long time, and the second wife Liu suddenly asked about the old lady Liu Ruoyuan asking Liu Ruoyuan to be a matchmaker.

"I can't find a suitable person at home, come over today, and the old lady specially asked me to ask you." Mrs. Liu relayed Mrs. Liu's words, but she told Liu Ruoxi again. "If you have such a person in hand, that's fine. If not, don't force it. Your body matters, don't bother too much. ”

Even if Mrs. Liu has an entrustment, it is obvious that in Mrs. Liu's heart, it is her own daughter and unborn grandson who are more important.

Liu Ruoyuan has already forgotten about Liu Ruoyuan's matter because she is busy investigating Hongfei's affairs these days. Now that she heard Mrs. Liu mention it, she remembered. She and Liu Ruoyuan have some old grudges, and they don't want to care about this matter. But as the daughter of the Liu family, she also knew that she should take care of this matter.

The Liu family is very supportive of her. She also can't sit idly by and ignore the affairs of the Liu family.

"The old lady's instructions already have some eyebrows. Mother will give me two more days. Liu Ruoxi thought about it, and said to Mrs. Liu, "Mother don't worry about me, I don't bother much." Even if it takes some effort, I won't shirk it. After all, it's a big deal at home. ”

When Mrs. Liu went back that day, she told Mrs. Liu Ruoxi's answer, and Mrs. Liu was very happy and nodded her head again and again.

"He is a generous, sensible child." can ignore past suspicions and put the interests of the family first. This is the mind and bearing that a housewife should have. "It's not in vain that I hurt her. In the future, she will come out to live with Hou Ye, and she will definitely be able to take charge of the family and keep the Hou Mansion in order. Speaking of which, Hou Ye is a visionary. Blessed is he, too. ”

Second Mrs. Liu heard Mrs. Liu praise Liu Ruoxi, and she was naturally very happy in her heart.

It's just that Mrs. Liu didn't say some things in front of Mrs. Liu. At the beginning, there were several girls in the family, and she used to love Liu Ruoyuan the most. This is not because she is partial, but because Liu Ruoyuan has the best conditions among the sisters of the Liu family.

Although Liu Ruoxi has a rich dowry. and a father who was extremely noble. But the choice of a daughter-in-law by a large family is not just based on these. The second master Liu and the second prince are thin, and the second wife Liu herself is also an only daughter. Even if someone takes a fancy to Liu Ruoxi, they will take care of these conditions. Liu Ruoxi is destined not to marry too well.

But Liu Ruoxi not only married very well, but also quickly opened up the situation in her in-law's family, and became pregnant so quickly. Among them, luck accounts for a few points, and more is Liu Ruoxi's intelligence.

Mrs. Liu is looking forward to the marriage introduced by Liu Ruoyuan to Liu Ruoyuan.

Liu Ruoxi made a promise to Mrs. Liu's second wife, and immediately took action. After marrying into the palace, Liu Ruoxi became familiar with several young grandmothers and walked around, including Liu Cheng's wife. Liu Ruoji dared to promise that Mrs. Liu would be limited to two days, so naturally she already had a candidate in her heart. She heard about it from Liu Cheng's wife, and she paid attention to it at that time, thinking that it was very suitable for Liu Ruoyuan. Liu Ruoxi hurriedly invited Liu Cheng's wife to come, and the two had a secret conversation, and Mrs. Liu Cheng left and quickly gave a reply.

When Liu Ruoxi got the reply, she knew that what Mrs. Liu had asked her had been done.

On this day, Rong Chenghan came back from outside, and Liu Ruoxi sued Rong Chenghan.

“…… I also asked you, if you think it is feasible, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow. ”

"Make up your own mind." Rong Chenghan thought about it for a while, and then nodded.

The next day, Rong Chenghan specially accompanied Liu Ruoxi back to Liufu.

“…… surnamed Zhao, twenty-six years old, also born as a Jinshi, and now he is a six-grade official, with an excellent official reputation. I used to marry a wife, but I died of illness three years ago, and now I want to remarry. "Liu Ruoji told Mrs. Liu. Because this is a big event, Mr. Liu happened to be at home, and he was also called by Mrs. Liu to listen.

As for Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan, no one called them.

Master Liu didn't listen to anything else, only heard the Jinshi and the Liupin officials, and the official voice was excellent, so he had already nodded again and again.

"Excellent, excellent." Master Liu twisted his beard and said with a smile, "Please also ask the old lady to call the shots, Mrs. Yucheng will do this." ”

Old Madam Liu was also quite satisfied with these conditions, but she did not nod her head in a hurry like Old Man Liu, but asked Liu Ruoxi about Zhao Tingchao and some of the situation in her family.

Liu Ruoyuan knew that Mrs. Liu still loved Liu Ruoyuan in her heart.

"The appearance is not outstanding, but it is also decent, the person is very filial, and the behavior is square." Liu Ruoji told Mrs. Liu, "The family is also a scholarly family for generations, and now there is an old mother in the hall, and a younger sister in the family is waiting to be married." There is also a widowed sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Tingchao's mother was a widow and strictly taught her son to become a talent, and she was a very strict and disciplined old lady. Now Zhao Tingchao's family is the housekeeper of this old lady with her widowed eldest daughter-in-law.

Zhao Tingchao's widowed sister-in-law is also a powerful person.

"Our family, as well as the situation of the eldest sister, I didn't hide it." Liu Ruoji told Mrs. Liu again, "The old lady of the Zhao family pays attention to the rules, the family is quiet, and the house of Lord Zhao is also very clean. "The old lady of the Zhao family does not have the habit of stuffing her son's house with a girl, which avoids a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Old Lady Liu no longer had any doubts. Nodding solemnly.

"Okay." Old Mrs. Liu grabbed Liu Ruoxi's hand and shook it, "Good boy, your good, my wife, your uncle, this family will not forget you." ”

This marriage was decided in this way. Mrs. Liu called Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan to thank Liu Ruoyuan, and Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan heard that the other party was born as a jinshi and was a six-rank official. They were all very satisfied. Of course, if it was placed in the past, Zhao Tingchao's conditions, the mother and daughter would definitely not be able to take a fancy to it. But this is no longer the case. Zhao Tingchao is now a good marriage for Liu Ruoyuan and the Liu family.

Coming out of Mrs. Liu's house, Liu Ruoxi went to Mrs. Liu's place to sit and gossip.

“…… Why is the old lady of the Zhao family difficult to get along with? Second Mrs. Liu heard something from Liu Ruoxi's words, and asked Liu Ruoxi in private.

"A very powerful old lady. The widow's sister-in-law is the old lady's niece, and she is extremely powerful. My sister-in-law is good, but I'm going to go out soon. Liu Ruoxi didn't hide it. I sued Mrs. Liu.

"...... like this"

"No, I don't dare say it to my big sister yet." Liu Ruoxi smiled, "Mother, think about it, what kind of temper the big sister is." Although she suffered some setbacks, she looked more peaceful than before, and I think she is also temporarily pretending. If the old lady and the widowed sister-in-law are really honest and docile, I don't dare to match this family business. "If it is changed to such a family, after getting married, Liu Ruoyuan wants to bully other people's mothers and widows, and Liu Ruoyuan can't get over it.

"The old lady and sister-in-law are more powerful, but they are not unreasonable to listen to. The eldest sister married in the past, and they were under their control, but it was not easy to cause any trouble. For the Zhao family and the Liu family, it is all a good thing. Liu Ruoxi said to Mrs. Liu again, "Let's rest assured." ”

When Mrs. Liu heard Liu Ruoxi say this, this is indeed the truth, so she smiled and nodded.

"You girl, you're very worried."

Although the old lady feels sorry for her eldest sister, she also understands this truth. I think the old lady is also very willing. Liu Ruoxi said, otherwise she wouldn't praise her so much.

The Liu family was anxious to marry Liu Ruoyuan, and the Zhao family was remarried, and they were also eager to marry, so they invited a matchmaker to discuss it, and soon set a wedding date. Liu Ruoyuan's wedding date is set for early August. Speaking of this marriage period, it is still in front of Liu Ruoshan, who has already been married.

The Liu family was busy again.

Approaching Liu Ruoyuan's wedding date, Liu Ruoyuan came over in advance to add makeup because it was inconvenient to attend the wedding banquet.

The dowry prepared by the Liu family for Liu Ruoyuan is not as good as giving Liu Ruojuan's face, but it is more practical. A careful comparison can also show that Liu Ruoyuan's dowry is more generous than Liu Ruojuan's. In addition to the regulations of the public middle school, Mrs. Liu privately took out silver to make up for it.

But Liu Ruoyuan was not happy, she came to Mrs. Liu's house, and as soon as she sat down, she took a handkerchief to wipe her tears and complained to Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.

“…… At the same time, it is a daughter, the second girl goes out, she is gold, silver, round and flat, I don't know how much to give to the second girl as a dowry. When I came to me, I couldn't get anything. Liu Ruoyuan covered her face with a handkerchief and cried, "I don't expect her to accompany her daughter like the second aunt." The old lady gave a comment. Am I not her own, and she treats me like this? It's just that he dislikes that I don't have the ability, and it's not as good as the second girl to marry, so he looks down on me. ”

Liu Ruoyuan is much more honest than before, but her nature is difficult to change, and she still talks with thorns like this. Liu Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu exchanged glances, and they both secretly thought, hoping that the old lady of the Zhao family and the widowed sister-in-law were not false.

"No one else has been so high and low, she is my own mother, but she tramples me like this. Old lady, you sue me, am I not her own child? Ask the old lady to call the shots for me. Liu Ruoyuan sued Mrs. Liu in this way.

How does Mrs. Liu use her makeup box to supplement her daughters, Mrs. Liu, as a mother-in-law, should not be too meticulous, but as Liu Ruoyuan said, Mrs. Liu is doing too much. Therefore, Mrs. Liu sent someone to call Mrs. Liu to interrogate.

"Old lady, I'm ......" Mrs. Liu came over and listened to Mrs. Liu's reprimand, and glanced at Liu Ruoyuan, and then looked embarrassed and stopped.

"I didn't want to care, but you were so favoritistic that you broke the heart of the big girl. Besides, it's not a monolithic system. Mrs. Liu's attitude was obviously to support Liu Ruoyuan.

Mrs. Liu gave Liu Ruoyuan a look again and again, but Liu Ruoyuan just couldn't see it. Mrs. Liu couldn't, knowing that this matter could not be vaguely passed, so she had to tell Mrs. Liu the truth.

Her dowry had already been given to Liu Ruojuan when she got married, and now she can't come up with something decent to give to Liu Ruoyuan.

And this, Liu Ruoyuan has known for a long time. The mother and daughter have had some quarrels over this matter in the past few days, and Mrs. Liu also gave Liu Ruojuan a message and is thinking of a solution. Unexpectedly, Liu Ruoyuan came to complain to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu's original intention, this matter is only known to the three of them, mother and daughter, and they have to hide it from others. But when Liu Ruoyuan made such a fuss, the matter couldn't be hidden.

"Listen to her, old lady. Since the second girl said it at that time, she should send more things at this time. But where is the thing now, and the second girl is nowhere to be seen. She was intent on getting rid of those things. Liu Ruoyuan scolded Liu Ruojuan for not believing her words, eating inside and out, and asking Mrs. Liu to make the decision for her, "The old lady called her and asked her to spit out all the things she had swallowed." ”

It turned out that this was the main purpose of Liu Ruoyuan's complaint.

Mrs. Liu sent a letter to Liu Ruojuan in the hope that Liu Ruojuan would be able to fulfill the preface. But after a few letters, Liu Ruojuan did not reply. Finally, this time Liu Ruojuan had a reply, but it was vague, probably meaning that it was very difficult. said that it was difficult to move a lot of things for a while, so Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoyuan should not be in a hurry. After Liu Ruoyuan marries into the Zhao family, she will think of ways to slowly supplement Liu Ruoyuan.

Where is Liu Ruoyuan willing to believe that, she saw that Mrs. Liu had no way to take Liu Ruojuan, so she thought about asking Mrs. Liu to come forward. (To be continued......)
