Chapter 247: Dowry
Chapter 247 Dowry
Mrs. Liu simply refused the eldest father-in-law's request to marry Han Qing and Liu Ruojuan at the end of the month.
"The eldest princess is anxious to marry the second girl, I can understand it, but this is too hasty, and it will take some days to prepare the dowry. The little Hou Ye is the only concubine of the Hou Mansion, this marriage event is not a child's play, and it is always good to have more time to prepare. ”
Although she refused to get married at the end of the month, Mrs. Liu said that she understood the eldest princess very well and could arrange the wedding in March next year.
After sending away the person sent by the eldest princess to deliver the message, Mrs. Liu snorted coldly.
"What's in a hurry to marry someone, it's just that I want to scribble and make an excuse." Old Mrs. Liu said to Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San who were sitting below. discussed Liu Ruojuan's wedding date, but Mrs. Liu did not greet Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu Er and Mrs. Liu San didn't quite understand what Mrs. Liu meant, so they just laughed and didn't answer.
"It's nothing here, even if we marry a second girl at the end of the month, it's not impossible. It's just that the family affairs of our three girls are scheduled for February next year, how could I let the two girls usurp the wedding date of the three girls! ”
After Mrs. Liu finished saying this, Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San understood, it turned out that Mrs. Liu meant that it didn't matter when she married Liu Ruojuan, but she couldn't get ahead of Liu Ruojuan.
At this moment, Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu completely understand Mrs. Liu's attitude towards Liu Ruojuan and Liu Ruojuan's family business.
"The old lady is wise." Mrs. Liu San was busy and smiled, "That's how it should be." ”
"It's the old lady who feels sorry for the three girls." Mrs. Liu said humbly.
"That's also our three girls, but it's painful." Mrs. Liu smiled again, but asked Mrs. Liu cautiously, "Old lady, it's time for the dowry of the three girls to start preparing." How to prepare, you have to be told by the old lady. ”
Even if she doesn't care about Liu Ruojuan, but for the face of the Liu family. can't help but prepare a dowry for Liu Ruojuan. As for how to prepare, there is a lot of knowledge in it.
"I'll leave it all to you to Zhang Luo." Mrs. Liu said, obviously she had already thought about this matter. "How much did the three girls spend in the public middle school, just halve. When you do this, you must put the three girls' affairs first, if you are wrong, I will not follow. ”
Mrs. Liu instructed Mrs. Liu San that the cost of preparing a dowry for Liu Ruojuan was half of that of Liu Ruojuan. Although the cost has been cut in half, it still needs to be done decently. And in addition to the silver taels that came out of the public. What does Mrs. Liu want to fill for Liu Ruojuan......
"Just let her go." When Mrs. Liu said these words, she said that she was tired.
Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San got up when they were busy. After saying goodbye from Mrs. Liu's house, the two went to sit in Mrs. Liu's house. Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan were talking in the house, and when they saw the two coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted.
"You sit at your own leisure." Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San laughed.
Everyone sat down, and Liu Ruoxi could see that Mrs. Liu San seemed to be very happy.
"Is the second sister's wedding date set?" Liu Ruoxi asked. The eldest princess sent someone over, and Liu Ruoxi knew about it, so she asked so.
"It's not finalized yet, it's probably March next year." Mrs. Liu said.
"Isn't that just a month away from the third sister?" Liu Ruoshan said. It seems to feel a bit rushed.
"Originally, they were going to get married at the end of this month," Mrs. Liu San mentioned Liu Ruoshan, "The old lady didn't answer, and asked your second sister to go out behind your third sister." ”
Liu Ruoshan is also smart. It was immediately understood.
"The old lady has done something sensible." Liu Ruoshan clapped her hands and smiled, "The third sister is a happy thing, how can she be in front of the third sister, it's not bad luck." ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Ruoshan glanced at Liu Ruoshan.
"There's no one here." Liu Ruoshan stuck out her tongue.
"I also asked about preparing a dowry for the second girl. The old lady replied even better. Mrs. Liu San smiled again.
Liu Ruoshan hurriedly asked what a wonderful method was, and Mrs. Liu San naturally said everything.
"There's only so much money, but you still have to do it decently. It's embarrassing. Having said that, Mrs. Liu San did not show any embarrassment on her face, on the contrary, she was now happy.
"What can be difficult to live with the third aunt!" Liu Ruoxi smiled. If you have less money and have to be decent, you can only be decent on the surface and fool everyone's eyes. Mrs. Liu did take an attitude of "exile" towards Liu Ruojuan as she expected.
"That's it, the three girls want to prepare a dowry, but the old lady took the initiative to take the silver out. I asked the second girl just now, but the old lady didn't say a word. Mrs. Liu San blew up, "I see, the old lady is not going to take the money out." ”
"That's right." Liu Ruoshan said quickly, "She did those things to make everyone faceless, do you still have to hold her." Arrange for her to marry with dignity, and she should be grateful. ”
"I thought that I could marry into the Marquis of Zhending Mansion with all my efforts, so I flew up to the branches, and the family was going to hold her, hehe......" Mrs. Liu San sneered, "She made a mistake." I'm still too young, and I've seen too few things. ”
"I think she's got a bad brain." Liu Ruoshan has never had a good impression of Liu Ruojuan, "I still suspect that the eldest lady is not her mother, not to say that Aunt Begonia is her mother." ”
Everyone shook their heads. What Liu Ruojuan said to Liu Ruojuan that day, Liu Ruoxi naturally did not hide it from the second wife Liu. Mrs. Liu San naturally knew, but no one said much to tell Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu began to care about Liu Ruojuan's affairs. Knowing that Mrs. Liu instructed Mrs. Liu San to prepare a dowry for Liu Ruojuan, Mrs. Liu went to talk to Mrs. Liu San, wanting to fight for more and better dowries for Liu Ruojuan. However, when she arrived at Mrs. Liusan, she was unceremoniously counted down by Mrs. Liusan, and finally left in a gloomy manner.
ran into a wall from Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu didn't give up, and went to find Mrs. Liu again. Mrs. Liu was even more straightforward, and she didn't see Mrs. Liu at all, so Mrs. Liu was closed.
Mrs. Liu returned to her room, and Liu Ruojuan was sitting on the couch waiting for her.
"Niang ......" saw Mrs. Liu enter the door, Liu Ruojuan stood up, and asked while looking at Mrs. Liu's face.
"Don't mention it." Mrs. Liu's face was depressed.
Liu Ruojuan knew that Mrs. Liu had hit a wall and came back, but she didn't succeed. The smile on Liu Ruojuan's face was put away, and her eyes were a little cold.
"Second girl, don't worry." Mrs. Liu instead comforted Liu Ruojuan, "No matter what, they must take care of some decency, and they won't treat you too badly." ”
"It's fine if it's arranged for the second wife, but the third wife, she doesn't care about her face, and she knows how she wants to detain me." Liu Ruojuan said coldly.
"It's hard to argue now." Mrs. Liu said, whether it is Mrs. Liu, or Master Liu, they are not on their side. "Well, my mother still has some private ......" Mrs. Liu's so-called private house is now the dowry she brought into the house. It's not much, but it's better than wealth.
Hearing Mrs. Liu say that she had a private room, Liu Ruojuan's face suddenly showed a smile again, and when she called her mother, she felt warm again.
"I was going to ......, hey, don't talk about it. Saburo's place, don't worry about me/worry, but it's good to keep one or two pieces, it's decent. For the rest, you and your big sister are two people, one and a half. Mrs. Liu said, because she was calculating what else she had left in her dowry, she didn't notice Liu Ruojuan's face, so she didn't see Liu Ruojuan's face that was instantly gloomy.
Since marrying Han Qing, Liu Ruojuan is no longer as wooden as before, and the expression on her face has increased.
When Mrs. Liu raised her head, Liu Ruojuan had already changed her smiling face.
"Mother, the eldest sister hasn't even decided on the family affairs yet, and it's too early to talk about the dowry. Now the government doesn't care about us, we have to think of ourselves. The dowry is too small, and the Hou Mansion is afraid that it will be blamed, and it will not be good to gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion in the future. Liu Ruojuan showed an aggrieved look on her face again, so she discussed with Mrs. Liu, "Why don't my mother give me all the things first, I will naturally think of doubling it back in the future, and I'm afraid that my eldest sister will have nothing to marry when she gets married?" ”
"Oh......" Mrs. Liu didn't agree immediately, looking at Liu Ruojuan's eyes flickered a little.
"Mother, I told you everything." Liu Ruojuan lowered her eyes, "It's the big sister who wants to kill me, I can't help it." Now that I have saved my life and made a marriage with the Hou Mansion, I am also content. Big sister, after all, is my sister-in-law. Just like my mother said, the previous things have passed, and in the future, the three of us should have one heart and support each other. ”
Mrs. Liu was a little shaken, but there was another voice in her heart telling her that it was very inappropriate to do so.
"Second girl, you're older, and your mother doesn't know you anymore." Mrs. Liu said slowly, "My mother has always been kept in the dark by you. Your cousin Zhang told me that he wanted to go back to his hometown......"
Liu Ruojuan was calm, but her face still unconsciously revealed the uneasiness in her heart at the moment.
The weather was fine, Liu Ruoxi looked at Mrs. Liu, and was slowly walking back. Suddenly, Feng Jianzhang strode over from nowhere and stopped in front of Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi didn't watch out, and instinctively took two steps back. Mama Chang followed Liu Ruoxi with a few girls, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stepped forward and stopped between Feng Jianzhang and Liu Ruoxi.
"Where did Master Feng come from, but if you want to go out, the road is over there......" Mama Chang pointed out the path to Feng Jianzhang's outer courtyard, and made it clear for Feng Jianzhang to leave immediately.
"Mama, I don't mean anything, I just want to say a few words to my third sister." Feng Jianzhang hurriedly saluted Mama Chang, with a hint of begging, "Just say a few words, and I'll leave when I'm done." Relatives of each other are no obstacle to the third sister. (To be continued......)
