Chapter 921: Promise
When Mu Lingluo heard this, the smile on his face narrowed slightly, "Father, are you sure you want me to give my opinion?" ”
Liu Jingcun choked, he was actually asking Mu Lingluo's opinion, but the real meaning was obvious, it was just a notice.
At this time, Liu Haoxuan also raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered: "Today, it has opened my eyes. Father, you have shown us your shamelessness again and again! ”
No, Liu Jingcun has repeatedly refreshed the three views of Mu Lingluo and Liu Haoxuan.
Mu Lingluo coldly hooked the corners of his lips, and swept up an indifferent arc, "In the past, I have heard of eating, drinking, and playing, but this is the first time I have heard about this rubbing and etiquette, and rubbing marriage." Father can still bring it up, and he is not afraid that it will make people laugh and lose their big teeth when the time comes! ”
Liu Jingcun's face turned blue when she said it, one by two, regardless of his face as the head of the family, he dared to say that he was shameless!
"I don't have any opinions," Mu Lingluo stood up slowly, she slowly glanced at Xia Lian, who was happy in her eyes, and said lightly: "After all, it's not me who will make a fool of yourself then." If you want to bring shame on yourself, then please do it yourself. However, if you want to have any bad ideas, then don't blame me for not giving you face then! ”
"Ah Luo," Liu Haoxuan frowned, and turned to look at Liu Jingcun, "What do you say about our house, it also has some fame in Beijing." Let the three daughters hold the ceremony on the same day, and the father is not afraid of being ridiculed. March is a lot of days! ”
Liu Jingcun took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Enough." If you don't have an opinion, that's the best. After all, as a sister, you should always take care of your sister. If there is no objection, then the matter is so booked! With that, he got up first and walked away, obviously angry.
Liu Haoxuan was about to refuse, but was stopped by Mu Lingluo, Mu Lingluo shook his head at him, and then saw Liu Jingcun leaving, and the two brothers and sisters also slowly walked out of the front hall.
"Aluo, why did you agree? Where will you put your face? And, like them, what qualifications do they have to join you in the ceremony! Liu Haoxuan has a lot of opinions about Liu Ayayue.
Mu Lingluo tugged at his sleeve and blinked, "Brother, don't be angry. It's just a courtesy, nothing to do. Moreover, at my ceremony, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people who will come at that time, and my father wants Liu Ayayue and the third sister to do the ceremony with me, so what should the remaining five sisters do? The fifth sister is the same age as Liu Ayayue, how can Aunt Tao give up? If my father doesn't agree, it's okay, if he does, it will really be a joke! However, if he should not accept Aunt Tao, it will be a chance for us. ”
At that time, there will inevitably be a crack in Aunt Tao's trust in Liu Jingcun, and this is exactly what she wants.
When Liu Haoxuan heard this, he pursed his thin lips, "You have already done it?" Didn't I say it, just leave it to me. ”
"But, brother, haven't you caught the witness yet? Aunt Tao will be the best witness. Mu Ling's eyes were resolute.
"That's it, I see." Liu Haoxuan patted her little head helplessly, "You, now hurry up and embroider your dowry!" Although the palace has prepared a wedding dress for you, we still have to prepare the rest ourselves. How's the dowry counted? My Liu Haoxuan's sister can't be looked down upon after all. ”
Because Mu Lingluo married into the royal family, and although her status is noble, it seems to others outside that she is despised a little because she fell in the countryside in her early years. And the princesses and princesses of those princes and princes have always been noble girls, and Mu Lingluo's background can't be changed, but he can only gag outsiders with expensive dowries.
Mu Lingluo shrugged his nose, "It's almost, there are still some things to purchase, and the third aunt has helped me with my work recently." ”
Speaking of which, this ancient dowry is really widespread, especially the higher the status, the more cumbersome it is. If nothing else, those crumbs alone were enough to keep her busy. For example, handkerchiefs and purses, because they have to prepare gifts for their juniors after marrying, there are many branches of the royal clan, and there are also maids and women in the house, etc., all of which have to be rewarded. Recently, the people in her yard have been embroidering purses and handkerchiefs for her, embroidering hundreds of purses and handkerchiefs, and piling up a box cage, I thought it was enough, but Liu Lin said that it was less, at least two boxes and cages had to be embroidered, which made her complain again and again.
Not to mention the custom-made furniture, even the bathtub must be prepared, as well as quilts, quilts, window screens, clothes, etc.
In order not to lose face for Mu Ling, the Liu Lin clan did everything with all his heart.
Mu Lingluo had prepared a dowry for Mu Chanjuan at the beginning, but now when she compares it, she feels that none of them are a few tenths of her dowry, which makes her have to sigh. Just looking at the long list of dowries, Mu Lingluo felt that her hands trembled, no wonder she always heard others say that women's dowries have been prepared since childhood, or prepared two or three years in advance, except for the important things at the bottom of the box, just preparing those miscellaneous things is enough to take a long time, those statements that seemed exaggerated to her in the past are now true.
"Well, the third aunt is doing things, I'm relieved." After a pause, Liu Haoxuan touched Mu Lingluo's little head, "Find an opportunity to tell the third aunt that the third uncle will return to Beijing at the end of the year to take up his post, and he should stay in Beijing next year." ”
Mu Lingluo's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is good news." The third aunt and Yuanyuan will definitely be very happy! ”
She had long heard that her third uncle had stayed outside for many years because he was not liked by Mrs. Liu, and he had not come back for the New Year for many years, leaving the third aunt and Yuanyuan's orphans and widows in Beijing.
Yuanyuan had mentioned to her more than once that she missed her father.
Liu Haoxuan nodded with a smile.
And at this time, Liu Jingcun was angry in the study, and he heard that a servant from the Peach Blossom Courtyard came to invite him over, saying that Aunt Tao personally cooked, made him a big meal, and invited him to come over for a drink.
Liu Jingcun suffered for Xia Lian, and he didn't want to see Xia Lian at this time, so he sent the maid sent by Xia Lian and went to Peach Blossom Courtyard.
Aunt Tao saw that Liu Jingcun had been invited, and she was overjoyed, and while pouring him wine, she comforted: "Master, you don't seem to be very happy today?" But someone offended the lord? ”
Liu Jingcun took a sip of wine and said slowly: "It's not that pair of rebels and daughters, what kind of sin did I create in the first place, and I actually gave birth to these two debt collectors!" They don't have me as a father in their eyes......"
