Cai Wei and Concubine Shen chatted until the fourth watch, until they heard the sound of drums outside, and the concubine hurriedly urged her to go back to sleep.

The heart has been solved, there is no more entanglement, although she slept late this night, but Cai Wei had no dreams all night and slept very well. The next days of living in the Yingchuan Palace, it was really comfortable and comfortable, or reading in the inner study of Concubine Shen, or talking about the past and the present with the concubine, only hating that the sun was setting too fast, and the day passed before it was too much!

Although Cai Wei likes such days very much, on the eighth day of the ninth month, she still asked the concubine to resign, saying that the second day was the Double Ninth Festival, and she should go back to Uncle Anyuan's mansion to celebrate the festival with her grandmother.

Although Concubine Shen was reluctant to let her, she didn't keep her, ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair, and ordered Mama Wen to send her back in person, saying that she would take her to live later.

Cai Wei returned to An Yuanbo's Mansion and sent all the gifts prepared by Concubine Shen to the elders of each room one by one. After walking around, I found that not only her uncles and aunts in the house were kind to her again, but even the servants and women below were also much more respectful to her.

The Wu sisters treated her more affectionately, but the Zhao sisters treated her as always, Yihui has always treated her well, although Yifang was cured, she was still locked up in the room and couldn't see it, as for Yifei, she only saw herself well and couldn't see others, and she sneered at Cai Wei.

Cai Wei didn't bother to pay attention to her, as soon as she heard that her voice was wrong, she turned around and left, too lazy to talk to her in vain, that is, if she won her, there was nothing to be proud of if she won such an opponent.

The Double Ninth Festival passed like this, followed by Yifang on the first day of October, and the night before the wedding, the sisters went to see her, and when they saw her, they were a little unrecognizable.

The woman in front of her is still the beautiful and moving gentle girl two months ago, she has lost a lot of weight, there is no joy and shyness of a bride in her eyes, and she is also a little wooden, and after saying a few words to her sisters, she has nothing to say, just sit there and be distracted, and glance at Wu Wan and Cai Wei from time to time.

Wu Wan was quite dissatisfied with her abandoning her brother and marrying someone else, but when she saw her current description, she was shocked and sympathized with her, and she wanted to say two words to stab her, but she couldn't say it again, so she sat sullenly for a while, then pulled Cai Wei and said that she was going to say goodbye and go back first, so that a few of their cousins could say something more.

Yifang personally sent them outside the door and opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't say anything, just said in a low voice, "Everyone take care!" I don't know if her sentence "everyone" is even contained in Wu Chong.

Because it was Yifang's happy day, her mother's eldest wife finally touched her daughter's light and was released from the small Buddhist hall for three days to accompany the guests. Her second wife and fifth wife were originally faint with her, and now they are even more reluctant to talk to her. However, Aunt Hu in the second room often saw that the second wife was not there, and came up to her to say a few words, and she couldn't help but envy her sister Fang for climbing the door and being able to marry such a good family in such a beautiful way.

The eldest lady smiled and said: "What kind of good relatives is my sister Fang, but whether she is married to a six-grade conductor, or a continuation of the string, there is a daughter in front of the family, where can she compare to your wife's Sister Hui, as soon as she marries, she is Mrs. Bo Shizi of Xing'an, that is the real good family!" I heard that in November, Sister Hui will also be out of the cabinet, and when she finishes her happy event, it will be your Sister Fen's turn! ”

Aunt Hu said with a sad face: "My sister Fen hasn't even talked about her family affairs now, where can it be her turn!" ”

The eldest lady pretended to be surprised and said: "No, the second wife hasn't been in love with your sister Fen for a long time, why is it that it has not been decided yet, don't be too many good people to choose from, pick and choose!" ”

Aunt Hu didn't know how many times she complained in her heart, and at this time she couldn't help but spit out bitterness with the eldest wife, "Our wife Chengri's family always said that she wanted to find a good family for Sister Fen'er, so as to repay her for saving Sister Hui'er's great kindness, but this pick-and-choose, I can't look down on the people my wife picks, and I can't look down on the wife I like. ”

"After choosing this for a long time, there is not a single household that suits your heart?"

"Alas!" Aunt Hu sighed first and said: "Many disciples dislike our sister Fen is a concubine, although my wife has chosen a few Jinshi on this year's new list, but they are all the same Jinshi of the top three, and they are only mixed with a petty official of the eighth grade, and the family is all such shabby families." Although Mrs. said that their family was noble, but the poor families of such small families did not have much money, I was afraid that they would have to live on Sister Fen'er's dowry, so I naturally did not agree. However, there is a wealthy family, and the wife doesn't look down on it, saying that it is a good daughter, why should she marry someone to be a stepmother. ”

This last sentence stabbed the eldest lady hard, she glanced at the seemingly unconscious Hu Shi, and I don't know if she deliberately said this to sarcastically mock herself, or said what the second wife said in passing.

She was unhappy in her heart, so she said: "In the end, Sister Fen'er is the meat that fell out of your belly, and you don't pay much attention to this daughter's marriage, who else can you count on." In November, Sister Hui came out of the cabinet, and in December, the Dingxi Houye came back from the border pass, and the Hefu had to handle Yifei's marriage again, so it was impossible to let the five girls at the bottom of the queue grab ahead of your Sister Fen, right? What's more—"

The eldest lady saw that there was no one around, so she whispered to Aunt Hu: "I saw that Aunt Hu is an understanding person, and I also fell in love with you, so I told you that you know, so that you can pay more attention." I'm afraid you don't know it, it's very difficult in this house now, the inner bag is already empty, and the daily use has to rely on my daughter-in-law's dowry! This time our sister Fang got married, because I was sent to the small Buddha hall, and the dowry was also handled by my daughter-in-law for her, and when I came out yesterday to see, I knew why the old lady wanted to lock me up in the Buddha hall, so that I could not stare at the side, and she randomly allocated some tattered things from the library as a dowry of 10,000 taels from the public to Sister Fang! ”

"My daughter-in-law is young and untroubled, how is she the opponent of the old lady, and I thought that the old lady gave her a lot of things, but in fact, they are all some tattered fields, old furnishings, saying that they gave more than 10,000 taels of silver, but in fact, they are really worth more than 5,000 taels of silver. If my daughter-in-law hadn't made up for it with her dowry, she wouldn't have been able to take it out to meet people! ”

After she was released, the first thing she did was to check Yifang's dowry, and at this glance, she almost didn't get angry half to death, and hated Mrs. Tai for being too treacherous and treacherous, and treating her granddaughter so badly. It's just that no matter how angry and scolding you are, it's too late to do anything, so you can only complain to Aunt Hu here.

"Then Mrs. Zhao said this, Sister Hui'er's dowry didn't give her much?" The first thing Aunt Hu thought of was how much dowry Gongzhong gave Yihui.

"Humph!" The eldest lady sneered, "Yi Hui's girl is the old lady's granddaughter, the old lady has thought about her very well, as early as when the fourth master snatched the title from the second room, she used a hunger strike to force the fourth master to give Sister Hui's dowry silver first, not 10,000 taels, under the pretext that she married a noble family, and insisted on asking for 20,000 taels of silver, so that your wife can collect it to prepare a dowry for Sister Hui, plus your wife's own dowry, I am afraid that Sister Hui'er's total dowry is not less than 30,000 or 40,000!" ”

"Don't worry about Sister Hui, where are people worried about this, but Sister Duo Tifen thinks about it, her marriage must be ahead of Yifei's girl. Otherwise, you think, when the girls in this house are out of the cabinet, you will be left with your sister Fen, at that time, what can the house get to make a dowry for her, although according to the usual Sister Fen can only get a dowry of five thousand taels of silver, but according to the current situation in the house, even the five thousand taels of dowry is difficult! ”

Aunt Hu suddenly said anxiously: "Mrs., you are very right, my heart has long been like an ant on a hot pot, I am so anxious, I also want to settle down for Sister Fen as soon as possible, but it is really difficult to decide on a good family affair!" ”

The eldest lady suddenly thought about it, and said with a smile: "Where is it so difficult, now there is a good family in front of you, it depends on whether you dare to think about it?" ”
