Chapter 138: Worth 10,000 to 5,000
"Miss Xia," Lu Yunjie didn't even call Sister Xiaodong, sat next to Lu Yunfang opposite Xia Xiaodong, and said coldly: "You have made us miserable." β
Xia Xiaodong looked at her quietly and didn't say a word.
"Why are you so thick-skinned?" Lu Yunjie said angrily: "They all said that you made us miserable, but you didn't even ask?" β
Xia Xiaodong looked at her angry appearance, and suddenly felt ......, in fact, Lu Yunjie looked so funny, she smiled, raised her eyebrows at Lu Yunjie, and made an inquiry.
"Humph! Since you ......" Lu Yunjie was about to continue, but Lu Yunfang pulled her arm and stopped.
"Sister Yunfang, you're here again!" Lu Yunjie was obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Yunfang's unwillingness to tear her face in person, but after thinking about it for a while, she actually suppressed what she was going to say, and said instead: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business first." Did you tell her? β
It seems that Lu Yunfang's water is rising, her fiancΓ©'s family has grown, and the weight of Lu Yunfang's words has also grown.
Lu Yunfang shook his head: "I also just arrived." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yunzhi before he said softly to Xia Xiaodong: "Sister Xiaodong, you should know what is going on, right?" β
"I don't know." Xia Xiaodong smiled slightly, looked at Lu Yunfang, then at Lu Yunjie, and said softly: "I also arrived just now." β
Lu Yunfang was unconsciously stagnant. Xia Xiaodong repeated what she had just said, obviously not really emphasizing the meaning of just arriving, but insinuating that she was too anxious, and people rushed over as soon as they arrived.
"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have told my sister this," Lu Yunfang said, and then blushed and stopped for a while.
Indeed, the girl to be married came forward to deal with the dowry by herself, how wrong it looks. These things are either handled by the mother, or the competent daughter-in-law comes forward to negotiate, and the father and brother also intervene, in short, no girl's family does it herself.
In fact, the special thing is that Xia Xiaodong is here. Because whenever there is a negotiation, it is important to pay attention to the equality of the identities of both parties.
This show girl is alone in the capital and has no family around her, so Lu Yunfang's mother, Mrs. Eldest Lady, has no equivalent negotiation partner - the wife of the Xia family is not there. Not to mention the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, the people who served around Xia Xiaodong were all sent by the Lu family.
In the end, Lu Yunfang could only rely on his limited face and go out by himself.
Lu Yunfang continued after all: "But my father is seriously ill now, and my mother is anxious and tired, but she is also sick, but she just holds on." Now there are a lot of things to do, I can't say, I heard that my sister is here, I just got a loophole, so I came cheekily. β
The more you talk about it, the smoother it becomes, but in fact, it's just a matter of playing the sad card.
"Actually, my sister can propose to postpone the marriage." Xia Xiaodong didn't wait for Lu Yunfang to continue to say with tears in his eyes, and intercepted it: "I think that the Wang family is a family of poetry and rites of the eunuch family, and I didn't disagree, so I had to force my sister to be unfilial and throw away the reason that her seriously ill father would marry." β
ββ¦β¦β
How is it possible to postpone the wedding? I can't wait to get it in advance! Once the eldest master has a bad one, Lu Yunzhi will have to keep filial piety for three years, where can he afford to wait?!
When her filial piety is completed, she will discuss the marriage date and set an auspicious date, how can she go up for half a year! For so long, people's sons are fasting? I'm afraid that the eldest son will be born by then!
It's just that although everyone understands these situations, they can't say it! Now Xia Xiaodong's upright mention is naturally not easy to refute.
Lu Yunfang looked at Lu Yunjie.
At this time, I can only count on Lu Yunjie's sharp mouth.
"Sister Yunfang's marriage, don't worry about it." Lu Yunjie lived up to expectations, and neatly moved the topic back: "Now I only talk about Moxiangyuan." Sister Yunfang is going to marry into the noble family of Hanlin, a serious scholarly family! It's just right to use Moxiangyuan as a dowry! I heard that my brother-in-law loves to read the most, so those books will not be buried. β
Is this called a brother-in-law? Xia Xiaodong almost laughed out loud. But now the focus is not on this, and it would be bitter to mention it.
As a dowry, Moxiangyuan is suitable, but unfortunately, Moxiangyuan is mine now. If Mo Xiangyuan is still in the hands of Sanfang, are you embarrassed to come over as a dowry? It's clearly bullying.
Xia Xiaodong only looked at Lu Yunjie with a smiling face, and did not go down, waiting for the other party to explain the conditions for buying a garden.
If you don't say it, let's pretend to be stupid.
Lu Yunjie didn't say anything, and she didn't want it, she only raised her chin at Lu Yunfang, which means, the words are brought back for you, you can continue.
Lu Yunfang could only grit her teeth and said, "Moxiangyuan is so big, Sister Xiaodong actually doesn't need it." Why don't you give my sister a face, how about giving me the price? Naturally, you can't treat your sister badly in terms of price. β
"Hmmββ, then Sister Yunfang, how much silver are you going to give?" Xia Xiaodong really asked the price, if Lu Yunfang was willing to spend money and really buy it at a price that was even higher than the market price, Xia Xiaodong didn't think that he had to sell it.
In the final analysis, although Moxiangyuan is good, it is not so good that the capital can't find a second one. Originally, Xia Xiaodong wanted a house, one was to give it for the near future, the second was to have a place to settle in the capital from now on, and the third was also a long-term investment, so he borrowed the matter of Suzhou Stone to get Moxiangyuan.
If he can really realize Moxiangyuan in Lu Yunfang's hands, Xia Xiaodong plans to buy another smaller one, and he can still have a few spare money left in his hand, so as not to write a sour book, right?
If you can live comfortably and comfortably, everyone can live comfortably, so why bother to make everyone uncomfortable.
"How about five thousand taels?" Speaking of the price, Lu Yunfang suddenly became refreshed and said a number in one bite.
Five thousand taels? Xia Xiaodong frowned.
Lu Yunzhi said before that Moxiangyuan cost more than 8,000 taels to buy it, and then it was repaired and renovated. In this way, it is reasonable to have 10,000 taels.
Isn't 5,000 taels equivalent to a knife in the waist and half of it?
"Five thousand taels won't work." Lu Yunfang is refreshing, and Xia Xiaodong is also refreshing.
"It's not that my sister won't give out the money." Lu Yunfang naturally knew that the price he offered was too low, and reluctantly smiled: "There are really not so many." Sister Xiaodong, you also know that the public account only has 10,000 taels of marriage, and it can't all be spent on Moxiangyuan. Sister, my private room is really limited......"
Lu Yunfang still has to continue to complain, Xia Xiaodong is already a little bored.
You don't have any money, so I'm going to sell it to you cheaply? What is the rationale for this?
It's just that before Xia Xiaodong could speak, Lu Yunjie actually became impatient first, and stood up suddenly: "Sister Yunfang, what's the point of you talking so much with her, according to me, five thousand taels is too much!" β
