The more the eldest lady spoke, the more sad she became, pinching the handkerchief while wiping her tears and counting them down, Ye Chengren didn't even have a chance to interject, the eldest lady didn't forget to pay attention to Ye Chengren's face when she cried, and saw that he seemed to be a little loose, so she sniffed and made persistent efforts:

"Master, do you think I'm willing to dig out my heart to pick up that little bit of silver? Do you think I really want Zhilan to be cheeky and do that shameless thing? Do you think I'm willing to be ridiculed by the second room? But what can I do?

Shi Pingcheng spent a large amount of money from our account, and soon Zhilan will get married, and the dowry will also be paid from our account. Did he watch his daughter being laughed at by her in-laws? ”

The more the eldest lady spoke, the more energetic she became, and she couldn't even cry in the back, Ye Chengren looked at her like that, and thought about it carefully along with what she said, and felt that it made some sense, but did you really want to deduct the dowry and take the old lady's coffin book to paste? No, this is absolutely not good, Ye Chengren waved his hand: "Don't cry!" ”

The eldest lady looked at Ye Chengren, Ye Chengren stood up and paced a few laps, and after a while, he stopped, his face was slightly calm: "In any case, the dowry of the Jia family must be sealed, and deducting the dowry is to deduct the coffin book of the ancestor, this kind of thing must not be done."

Regarding Zhilan's dowry, I went to discuss with the ancestor and the second brother, and the dowries of Zhilan and Zhiyu were each paid 20,000 taels by the public school, and the rest of us were willing to post as much as we wanted. That's it, I'll go to the ancestor now. ”

Ye Chengren walked out quickly, and the eldest lady hurriedly caught up, but Ye Chengren asked her to come back and seal the things and not let her go along. The eldest lady stood at the gate of the courtyard and gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, scolding secretly in her heart for a while, and when she turned around and saw that Mother An was sorting out the dowry of the Jia family, she panicked for a while. Seeing the beaked duck fly like this, I was really unwilling.

But after thinking about it, these things will belong to her daughter sooner or later, and the ancestor will have to post 60,000 taels there, so she is in a better mood. I thought in my heart that I must get this thing done, and I can't make the slightest mistake.

Ye Chengren asked the old lady to tell her what she thought, and the old lady stared at Ye Chengren for a while: "Boss." Is your daughter-in-law distressed about the silver again? ”

Ye Chengren naturally couldn't admit it. The old lady sighed: "She can't move the things of the Jia family no matter how much she wants, and there are a few of them that are sent, and I heard that there are a few of them that are tributes left by the ancestors." That must be brought back to Jia's house, otherwise it will only add to the incident. Alas, she, if she really wants. Give her an inheritance of forty thousand taels of silver from me. ”

Ye Chengren hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Mother, the child doesn't dare." ”

Ye Chengren has always honored the old lady as the ancestor since his son Ye Shiping got married. It has been several years since she called her mother in person, and Mrs. Ye sighed even more: "The money is all outside the body, and the family is better than anything else." ”

"Yes, Mother."

The old lady nodded: "Child." I'm sorry for you, get up! ”

Waiting for Ye Chengren to stand up, the old lady rubbed her eyebrows with one hand: "Recently, my body has become more and more uncomfortable." In the future, you don't have to discuss these things with me, as long as you discuss them with your second brother. ”

The old lady waved her hand. was helped by Wu's mother to go to the back to rest. Ye Chengren paced in the old lady's courtyard for a while, and then quickly went out to find his second brother Ye Chengde.

When Qiu Ming brought the news about the dowry back to Yeonfangin, Zhiyu was also there. Zhiyu listened to the flat mouth: "The eldest aunt's appearance is too ugly, even Ling'er's dowry wants to be swallowed, and she can think of it." ”

Ling'er's expression was faint, noncommittal on this matter, Zhiyu stared at her for a while, and seemed to feel sorry for herself: "Alas, no matter how troublesome you are, you just need to think about the dowry, but the family that my mother ordered for me has not yet sent a dowry gift, but she is anxious and anxious to finish the marriage quickly, who is this?" I get angry when I think about it, and I really want to retreat. ”

Ling'er was a little surprised when she heard this: "Your martial arts captain's family hasn't sent a dowry yet?" ”

"But no, my mother couldn't wait and sent someone to inquire, but I heard that the martial arts family is too thin, and it is good to sell the land to make a decent dowry, but the past few years have not been good, and the land cannot be sold at a high price, it is really ......"

Ling'er was even more surprised, will she still sell her land next time? What kind of poor did the martial arts family become? But why did the second uncle and the second aunt fall in love with him?

Zhiyu said in frustration: "Ling'er, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong, is there any way for my mother to return this kiss?" ”

Ling'er comforted, "Zhiyu, actually...... Whether the family is good or not mainly depends on the person, as long as the person is good, even if the family is surrounded by four walls, you can start from scratch; If the character is not good, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, the gold and silver mountains can also be emptied. ”

"That being said, how do I know if someone else is good?"

Ling'er thought about it, and planned to go back to the small courtyard in the southwest tomorrow to have a look, so it would be better to ......

"Zhiyu, let's go see that martial school captain with our own eyes, how about it?"

Zhiyu was taken aback: "Look? What do you think? ”

Ling'er grinned: "Hasn't he been at home lately?" Let's go and guard near his house, and we'll definitely meet him. ”

"Huh?!" Zhiyu's eyes widened, she was entangled for a while, she was really a little itchy, but there was still a question, "Ling'er, how can we get out?" My father and mother did not allow me to leave the house. ”

Ling'er said confidently: "Don't worry, there have been a lot of things in the house recently, and no one is more serious, but I have to grieve Sister Zhiyu, Ming'er will first dress up as my maid and follow me out of the house, and then go to my small courtyard to change her clothes, what do you think?" ”

Although Zhiyu has a big personality, she is usually quite honest and honest, she has never thought of sneaking out of the house to go shopping, and when she heard Ling'er say this, she was immediately full of interest, anticipation and excitement.

The next morning, Zhiyu came to Ling'er's courtyard early in the morning, found an excuse to send all the maids and mothers-in-law away, and then changed the little maid's clothes, and really followed Ling'er out of the house.

On the other side of Yanfang Courtyard, the third sister and the tenth sister sat on the threshold of the courtyard and chatted while being the door god, and everyone who came to this courtyard was sent away, and no one was allowed to enter the courtyard.

A few people first went back to the small courtyard in the southwest to change into men's clothes, and then went out into the streets. Zhiyu, who is difficult to get out of the house, is scurrying around like a wild horse, touching here and there, and the third sister who just came down from the vast mountain has a fight, and Ling'er and Chunqiao took a lot of effort to catch up with her.

Hearing that the martial arts lieutenant's family lives near the east city gate, they came from the west, just about to pass through the city, and walked to the lively market in the center of the city, Ling'er couldn't help but stop, every time she came here before, she could meet some people, and those who wanted to see and didn't want to see seemed to like to come here to join in the fun, so she wanted to change her path and hoped not to meet people she didn't want to meet again.

A few people rented a carriage, went around in a big circle, and finally came to the east city gate.

"Where is Captain Wu's house?" Zhiyu looked blankly.

Chun Qiao said: "Zhiyu Xiao...... Childe, let's find someone to ask, shall we? ”

Zhiyu nodded, and Chunqiao stopped a passing woman and asked, "Auntie, do you know where the martial school captain's family lives?" ”

The woman looked back and pointed to the two big men who were coming in front of her: "Well, isn't that the martial school captain?" ”

Several people looked back at the same time, and Ling'er was suddenly startled. (To be continued)
