Xu Ying was stunned: "Have you asked?" ”

"That's nature!" Yuan Ziyi sneered, "Of course I can think of things I can think of, but I just know that I can't do it because I asked, so I don't work hard to make money." If you want to be a master, of course, you have to go through the official career. ”

Xu Ying was relieved when she heard her say this. Sure enough, their concepts are still the same, as long as the concepts are the same, it will be easy to do.

"Then I'll go back and think about what way to go, if the money can be less, it's better to donate earlier." Now Yuan Ziyi is the only one who can ask for help. But she thought again: "Will your father agree to be an official?" ”

Yuan Ziyi was also stunned, after all, it took her a lot of effort to get him to live back in the house seriously.

"Will you?" She said.

No, she would make him a yes anyway.

Besides, she doesn't want Yuan Shu, she also has two younger brothers in the house, one is pro, nine years old, and the other is four years old when Lu was born. No matter how close she is, she hasn't established any feelings for them now, and if the one who comes out of the concubine has a future, she doesn't mind treating him as a younger brother. Yuan Yu doesn't like to be in the limelight anymore, so he has to think about his son, right?

After chatting two more sentences here, Xu Ying got up.

Yuan Ziyi sent her out and asked about her marriage to the Cui family by the way.

Although Xu Ying felt that the past was unbearable, it was rare that she could still pay attention to her in her busy schedule, so she also told her the ins and outs.

Yuan Ziyi was dumbfounded, and finally sighed: "Sure enough, there are sluts everywhere!" After thinking about it, he said, "Then how are you and the one surnamed Song?" "She hadn't forgotten how she threw herself to the ground!

Xu Ying smiled from ear to ear: "That's it." Yuan Ziyi looked at him with deep contempt.

When she returned to the house, she met Yang coming out of the upper room, and Xu Ying stood under the corridor waiting for her.

Yang's face was slightly calm, it turned out that the old lady heard that the Lu family was going to have a birthday, and asked who was going to go in the house? In previous years, the Lu family did everything by the Feng family, and the house would not arrange for anyone to go, but this time the old lady asked, and the Yang family had no choice but to tell Xu Yong's brother and sister that they would go. Who knew that after hearing this, Huang said that since the third room went to the second room, it would not be like words, so he said that he would go too.

Who can't see that this is actually what the old lady meant, and she wants to compete with the Feng family. Just don't get us involved. Yang said as he led her into the room.

After entering the door and sitting down, Xu Ying poured a cup of tea for her, and was about to speak, but here Mama Su came in with a puzzled look and said, "Mrs. Cui said that she came to visit." Someone came to ask Mrs. Ming'er if she was in the house? ”

Yang and Xu Ying were stunned, and Yang frowned: "Are you here to visit me?" Or is someone mistaken, actually going to the long house? ”

Mama Su handed over the post in her hand: "Look, it's indeed for my wife." "The maids from the Yang family are all literate.

Yang looked at the post, frowned and handed it to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying groaned: "Mother, let's see you." Originally, I wondered why their family was so persistent in marrying us. If Xu Bing hadn't been so noisy, she wouldn't have been able to get out of this marriage, and there must be a reason why she came over. ”

Yang nodded, and asked Mama Su to reply with the little girl.

It happened that Xu Yong came back from the government again, Xu Ying followed him into Fusong Garden, and when he came out of changing clothes, he asked him: "Brother, have you ever heard that there are any official vacancies in the court that can be donated?" ”

Xu Yong stopped and glanced at her, then continued to hang the forbidden step on his waist and said, "Who wants to donate officials?" ”

Xu Ying smiled, "It's the Yuan girl who knocked you down last time." His family wants to donate an official. "Xu Yong is a caring person, since he has noticed that her origin is suspicious, if he conceals Yuan Ziyi's identity again, it will definitely lead to many misunderstandings.

Xu Yong paused, remembered, and turned around: "Didn't you say that Miss Yuan's family is a small businessman?" Where is the money to donate to officials? ”

Xu Ying said: "Don't hide it from my brother, in fact, Miss Yuan didn't know each other when I was in Shangya, and I didn't expect to be friends with her, so I lied casually." In fact, their family is in the silk business, and they have opened more than a dozen shops. At present, I want to donate a petty official, but the price is expensive, so I was asked to see if there was any way to go. ”

Xu Yong remembered the information that Jin Peng had inquired about and sat down. He glanced at her with tea: "I went to the yamen with the Liu family, where can there be any way?" ”

"You can help ask if there are any suitable children." Xu Ying said.

Xu Yong is a response.

After sending Xu Yong away the next morning, Xu Ying went to the main room and waited with the Yang family for Mrs. Cui to come to the door.

The Cui family has already invited a matchmaker to discuss marriage with the Feng family, as long as the dowry matter is resolved, the rest is easy to talk about. And this time, although there is a rift in the relationship between the two families, the power of the Feng family is there. Feng Qingqiu is Mrs. Feng's sweetheart, and it is impossible to make such a fuss seriously. After all, they will always come to visit Feng Qingqiu in the future, right?

Even if you don't rush to this level, you have to save face for Feng Qingqiu, in case Mrs. Cui relies on her mother-in-law's power to pinch her in the future, right?

The dowry list sent by the Cui family is 10,000 taels, plus the necessary bride price. That's about 12,000 taels in total. This also collapsed half of Mrs. Cui's private house. Seeing that Cui Jingru is also going to propose marriage, the remaining half of the country can't be saved.

Of course, no one knows about it out there.

There are not many people who can afford a dowry in their early 10,000s, so the Cui family's move still gave the Feng family face.

When the news reached Feng's ears, she couldn't help but be excited again.

Although it is impossible for the old lady to really take her to death, at least it is not possible to deduct some body in the public in the future. When she married into the Xu family, she looked like she was sixty-four. But the same amount of dowry is worth a lot of real money, and the difference is big. At least she doesn't have a grange in her hands, and there are only two small shops in the north of the city, and it is a dream to rely on them to accumulate wealth.

If the Cui family gave Xu Bing a dowry of 10,000 taels, this amount would be enough for her to give Xu Bing a considerable dowry, but it would not be much.

And the Cui family's gift to Sanfang in previous years was very generous, it seems that the Cui family is really married right.

So when I heard that Mrs. Cui arrived in the house, I thought it was from the long room, so I hurriedly changed into a set of clothes and went out, but I heard that I went to the third room when I walked out of the door! Thinking about this, my brows furrowed, this Cui family has already divorced from the third room, why didn't even she, the real mother-in-law, come to visit now, but went to the third room! Is it possible that you still think about Xu Ying?

Sitting here will sulk, and it just so happened that Xu Bing came again, afraid that she would give birth to some young moths, so he gave the maid a look and asked her to go to the third room to star.

The Yang family is still dressed in homely clothes, and Xu Ying is accompanied by Xu Ying to receive Mrs. Cui in the main hall.

Xu Ying was also only wearing a new light blue and white paddy field coat, with a few beaded flowers under her bun, sitting there without speaking, showing a rare grace in the past, but the bearing exuded between raising her hands and feet, even if she didn't speak, she could overwhelm people by three points.

Mrs. Cui didn't care about her, she only smiled and said to Yang: "We are helpless about this divorce, originally my uncle and I have always been interested in Miss Ying, but who knows ......" Speaking of this, she sighed, "Our uncle always feels sorry for his wife and Sister Ying, so he always urges me to come over and apologize." ”

As she spoke, she took a brocade box from the maid's hand, put it on the coffee table between her and Yang, and opened the lid.

Inside is a bracelet of mutton fat jade, which is worth hundreds of taels to say the least.

Xu Ying swept her eyes and sat upright. The Cui family was willing to pay a few hundred taels of silver to come to the door at this moment, which is really rare.

Yang's face has not been good since Mrs. Cui mentioned this incident, and she didn't look at the box, so she said: "I think Mrs. remembered wrongly, I don't know when our family had a marriage contract with your mansion?" ”

Mrs. Cui was stunned.

Without waiting for her to answer, Yang said again: "Our sister Ying has not allowed anyone yet, if Mrs. comes to visit her mother-in-law, I am afraid that she will go to the wrong door." ”

The Yang family was also angry that Cui Jia didn't take people seriously, so he couldn't help but stab her.

Mrs. Cui has always been decent, when has she been ridiculed like this? At the moment, his face was red and white for a while, and he gritted his teeth and endured it, and said: "It's not unreasonable for Mrs. to say this, after all, there is no formal marriage contract between the two families." ”

Yang's face softened.

Mrs. Cui was also very uncomfortable when she sitting. But if not, how can you get that thing back? If you don't get that thing back, how can you reverse the current situation of the Cui family? So she still had to endure it, "I came here today because I still have something to ask my wife, did you leave anything before the third master passed away?" ”

Xu Ying instantly pricked up her ears.

Yang raised his eyebrows: "Our master died unexpectedly, and he was already angry when he returned home, I don't know what Mrs. means?" ”

Asking about these in front of other widows, Mrs. Cui was also a little uncomfortable, and she hurriedly said, "I'll just ask in passing." The two families have been friends for more than ten years, even if they can't be in-laws, our uncle and I still care about Brother Yong and Sister Ying. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Yang said unhurriedly, his expression was always flat, "It's just that we don't dare to accept this intention, and ask Madame to take it back." She winked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying covered the box and sent it back, and said, "Xu Ying also thanks Uncle and Mrs. for their concern, but some wounds can't be healed by a few things." ”

Mrs. Cui couldn't help gritting her teeth when she saw her face. Is she embarrassed to talk about trauma? I don't know what Cui Jia, who was injured by a woman dressed as a man, and Song Che was injured! But how dare she show it on her face? The family was really short of money, and since it was all sent back, she accepted it.

Yang served tea here and said, "What is the eldest lady busy with?" ”

Mrs. Cui knew that this was urging customers, and she couldn't get any more information, so she had to get off the donkey and get up to say goodbye. (To be continued.) )
