Chapter 182, busy discussing relatives
Because the third sister has long passed the age of discussing relatives, the eldest lady quickly helped the third sister find a family in another county, the man's family is from the inferior county from the Liupin county order, and the third sister's fiancé is also a concubine, which is very right.

The eldest man felt that such a family was not bad, at least better than the merchant family that the second sister married to, but when he was preparing the dowry, Ma stopped doing it, and ran to the upper room and knelt on the ground to stop crying.
When the second sister got married, the eldest lady was considered to have prepared a dowry of 1,000 taels. But now that it is the turn of the third sister to get married, the eldest lady has only prepared a dowry of three hundred taels, which is only ten taels before and after.
Where could the Ma family stand such grievances, even the third sister knelt in front of the eldest master and cried and refused to get up. Even if it is a small family, the daughter who marries does not only give ten dowries, not to mention that the third sister still has to marry into the official eunuch's family. Although the other party is just a concubine, this is too shabby.
The eldest lord also felt that this was undignified, so he originally wanted to help the Ma family and persuade the eldest lady to prepare more for the third sister. But he was pushed back by the eldest lady in a few words.
"Master, after two years of natural disasters, what is the situation in the house now, even if you don't talk about the concubine, the master should be clear. At the beginning, in order to be able to support the people of Yifu, the concubine even sold the dowry Zhuangzi in her hand, which was barely enough for the people of Yifu to eat and wear. And last year, just buying medicine to treat the disease, I don't know how much silver taels I spent. You have newly accepted the Liu family, and you have added a lot of things to the Cheng family and son in the backyard, which are all fed silver. You can't let the concubine take the dowry to Peng'er to make up the dowry for the third sister! ”
The sister-in-law and the concubine are more important, no matter how much the eldest lady says, the eldest lord also understands in his heart. Fortunately, there were not many dowry gifts from the man's family, and the total was only five hundred taels of silver, and in the end, the eldest lord added one hundred taels of cloth and jade to the third sister, and finally prepared a dowry of four hundred taels.
Ma and the third sister both knew that the eldest master was no longer willing to prepare more for them, so no matter how unwilling they were, they had to admit it. In this way, before April, the third sister was married.
For the second brother-in-law who was out of tune, Mu Chenxue didn't have a good impression of it. And for this third brother-in-law who didn't even see him, she didn't want to think about it much. On the day of the send-off, Ma cried dizzily and refused to let go of the sedan chair.
She regretted it, when they were in trouble, the second sister still managed to help, otherwise she was afraid that they would have starved to death. Now that her daughter is married so far away, if she is kicked out by the eldest lady in the future, who can she rely on.
In the end, the eldest master ordered someone to pull Ma down, and the third sister was able to go out smoothly. When the second sister went out, the Xu family finally took out a private room of 200 taels to press the box for the second sister. Now that the third sister is out, Ma's private room has already entered the pocket of Mu Chenxue, where did she get the money to press the box for the third sister, and in the end, the third sister is almost out of the house, you can imagine what it will be like when she arrives at her husband's house.
Because the third sister is a concubine and married far away, the shogunate banquet is just a small banquet for some relatives and friends, and there is no extravagance.
And just after sending the third sister out, the eldest lady began to rush to the mansions to be a guest, planning to ask her sister-in-law Mu Peng. Generally, people pay attention to high marriage and low marriage, because they are afraid that this new daughter-in-law will enter the door, and her mother's family will be in a high position, and it will inevitably show her mother-in-law's face.
But the eldest lady doesn't think so, the lord has only been an official position from the sixth grade for so many years, and he is afraid that he will not have any great interest if he dies. The son is dignified, and in the future, he will be a scholar and the first, pointing to the master, and there will be no good future. Therefore, having a family of Yue who can help his son will get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, the eldest lady is bent on asking her son to marry the daughter of a wealthy family.
Mu Peng's appearance follows the old man, and because of his young age, he has a bit of the elegance of a literati, and he can barely be regarded as a little fresh meat now. But in the eyes of Mu Chenxue, she is a little too motherly. And this person not only looks like his father, but even his indifference is the same as his father. Even for the younger siblings in the house, there is no affection.
When Aunt Cheng and the three returned home, few people in the house were really happy for them. However, the second young master is very happy, and he is really happy that they can come back. I also deliberately brought a lot of things to the backyard to see Brother Jiu'er.
Although he came to see the ninth brother, it was also to see the fifth cousin. And Mu Yu has also passed the year of the crown, and he has the fame of Xiucai. The eldest lady was busy choosing a wife for her son, and the second lady Liang was not idle, and was also helping her son look around. Because of natural disasters for two consecutive years, many people's children have been delayed. These days, there are many firecrackers in the city, and good things are one after another. This is cheaper, and her shop business has also risen, and the silver has entered her private treasury like flowing water.
The ladies of the shogunate were busy with their sons' affairs. Nangong Xun in King Qing's Mansion is also trying his best to smile for the Pomeranians. As early as more than a month ago, Liuyun had already checked all the unmarried men in all the prefectures in the city, even regardless of their concubines. Even regardless of their background, with the appearance and character of these people, they are far inferior to themselves. Nangong Xun couldn't understand how she could choose them and give up on herself in the eyes of Miss Mu.
Yin Wu saw that his master was trapped by love, and only after thinking about it again and again did he express his suspicions in his heart, "Lord Jun, Liuyun has always been careful in doing things, since it has been found that these people are not as good as you, naturally there will be no mistakes." It's just that Liuyun also missed a person, and his subordinates dared to check this person in person! ”
Nangong Xun glanced at the personal guard kneeling on the ground, the words of the hidden fog just now made him think of a person, but this person was the last person he wanted to check, he didn't have no doubts for so many years, but he would rather think too much and guess wrong, so he never sent someone to check it carefully. He is also afraid, afraid that the results of the investigation will be unbearable for him.
"Hidden Mist, let me think about it again!" Seeing that the master had understood his own intentions, the hidden fog did not say more. Liuyun glanced at the hidden mist, and saw that the hidden fog hinted in the direction of Xuemeiju, and also understood that this person was referring to the second young master. The prince of the county has a deep brotherly relationship, and they have seen it most clearly over the years. So he also retreated with the hidden fog.
Nangong Xun sat in the study, reminiscing about the good old days. At that time, Concubine Feng was still there, and the second brother chased behind him every day, although the two brothers were very different in age, their relationship was very good. Since the concubine died of illness suddenly, her mother wanted to get rid of her second brother. No matter how hard he tries to show kindness, the relationship between the two will never return to the beginning.
The little guy next to him packed some snacks, wrapped a bag of good oolong tea, and planned to go to Xuemeiju again, some things can no longer be solved by escaping. (To be continued.) )
