Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dowry

The people in the family only knew that Nian'er was the adopted son of the eldest princess, Yun Xiangrong didn't want to say anything, so he hurriedly changed the topic, and said with a smile: "The fifth sister is the first to go out, we might as well get together once today, after all, there are not many opportunities like this in the future, and it is not good to always go back to her parents' house when you get married, and the bride will be very restrained!" ”

The sisters responded very much, and the fifth lady hurriedly asked the maid waiting in the house to go to the big kitchen: "Let's just say that our sisters will have dinner together in the evening, let them prepare a sheep soup, and prepare some fresh vegetables, fungus, squid, and green shrimp, prepare more, and then let them prepare a pot of flower carving, how about we have a drink at night!" ”

Yun Xiangrong saw that Miss Wu ordered a lot of dishes, and the maid stood there embarrassed, so she hurriedly took out five taels of silver from her purse, handed it to the little maid, and said with a smile: "Tell Mrs. Liu, we are considerate of ourselves, prepare more things, and send a pot of sheep pot to grandfather and grandmother!" ”

The little maid took the money with a smile, and the fifth lady hurriedly said: "It was said that it was a sisters' reunion, and the third sister broke the bank!" ”

Yun Xiangrong waved his hand and said softly: "Such an opportunity, even if I want to break the bank, I'm afraid there won't be a few chances, don't talk about this, your things are ready?" ”

was asked about the preparation for marriage, even if the fifth lady was thick-skinned, she couldn't help blushing, and said in a squeaky voice: "It's just simple things prepared, many of them are being prepared by my grandfather and mother, I don't know very well, but I'm a little flustered, I don't know how the old lady of the Xiao family is, will it be ......."

Seeing that Fifth Miss had the shyness of a new bride, Miss Seven couldn't help but smile and said: "Is Fifth Sister worried that she can't reconcile with Fifth Brother-in-law Qin Se, or is she worried that the old lady of the Xiao family is too powerful and embarrassed for you, I think, are you worried about Fifth Brother-in-law, why haven't you written to me recently!" ”

The fifth lady was blushed, and the atmosphere in the house was so noisy by the seventh lady, but it was a lot more lively, and the sisters whispered, but it was very harmonious!

Yun Xiangrong sighed that the time of the reunion was too short, and he wanted to mention that Miss Fifth Xiao Yi'an was not a good person several times, but looking at the fifth miss with a shy face, Yun Xiangrong was like a stalk in his throat, and he didn't say a word until the end, so he could only silently recite Pumen Pin in his heart, praying that Miss Fifth would have a smooth life!

A few sisters had dinner lively, Miss Seven and Miss Five, almost drank a jar of flower carvings, at this time people were a little dizzy, Miss Four was busy letting people, go to the big kitchen to ask for two bowls of sobering soup, was busy, Mama Rong walked in with a smile, and a loud voice sounded: "Just a few young ladies are here, Rong Guogong invited a few young ladies to come over, and there is something to discuss with the young ladies!" ”

Yun Xiangrong frowned, if Mama Rong was only very enthusiastic before, then when she came back from Rong Guogong, Mama Rong was a little anxious, as if she was a hostess, pointing fingers in the inner courtyard!

A housekeeper, even if the main family values it, she shouldn't talk like this when she comes to pass the word, the fourth miss bows her head and is silent, the seventh miss and the fifth miss are already dizzy, and they don't react to anything!

Yun Xiangrong looked at Mama Rong and said coldly: "We know, Mama went back to Grandma first, and we will be there in a while!" After speaking, he turned around alone, poured two cups of strong tea, and handed them to Miss Fifth and Miss Seven, who were blushing!

Mama Rong looked at Yun Xiangrong, her eyes were obscure, she didn't say hello, she turned around and walked out of the room, Yun Xiangrong's face became a little colder, the fourth lady sighed, and said softly: "I'm afraid that the family is also going to change!" ”

Yun Xiangrong glanced at the sad fourth miss over there, didn't say a word, looked at the fifth miss and the seventh miss drank strong tea, and asked softly: "It's better, grandfather came to us, I'm afraid he wants to talk about the dowry, if you are okay, don't wait for the sobering soup, let's go over!" ”

As soon as they heard the word dowry, even if the two of them were seven points drunk, they were all sober at this time! Miss Seven hurriedly grabbed Yun Xiangrong and asked eagerly, "Third Sister already knows about Grandfather's arrangement?" ”

Yun Xiangrong shook his head, dodged Miss Seven's wolf claws without a trace, and said softly: "It's the first time I've heard of it, but we should know it in the past!" ”

Miss Seven looked anxious, she didn't care about the softness under her feet, as if she was in the clouds, she dragged Miss Five and rushed out! The fourth lady hurriedly followed, and protected the fifth miss who was walking and shaking in the back! Yun Xiangrong looked at the secret and said: In the end, they are sisters of the same mother, no matter how they can't look at each other on weekdays, at the critical moment, they are still worried about it!

The quiet Yun Xiangrong, falling at the end, the group quietly entered the upper room, Mama Rong said with a warm smile: "Grandpa Guo, a few young ladies are here, it seems that the slave maid misunderstood the meaning of the third miss, I didn't expect a few young ladies to come so quickly, in the end, they are going to get married, as soon as they heard the dowry, the dignified young lady on weekdays is also a little anxious, how can the fifth miss and the seventh miss face be so red, but they are in a hurry, the slave maid will pour tea for a few young ladies!" After Mama Rong finished speaking, she withdrew with a smile!

Rong Guogong looked at several granddaughters, thoughtful, Yun Xiangrong secretly said that it was not good, but he didn't plan to explain anything, the fourth lady looked anxious, and finally said not to be outdone: "This Rong Mama is so strange, she just went to our place, and saw that several sisters were there, and she only said that grandfather looked for us and had something to say!" In the evening, the sisters got together, and drank two more cups of greed, and I still wanted to wait for the sobering soup, but when I thought of my grandfather looking for us, I was busy drinking tea and went out, how did I get Rong Mama's mouth, it was another situation, this inner house now grandmother can't worry about it, it's better to let the third aunt come out to take charge! ”

Rongguo Gong was already in a bad mood, when was it, several granddaughters also added five taels of silver to the dinner, and then looked at the quibbling fourth lady's face was slightly cold, and said in a low voice: "These things, I have my own decision, you are going to marry someone else's family, you must remember the female training on weekdays, don't do things that have fallen the reputation of our Rongguo Mansion, and you can't drink so wantonly in your husband's house, what kind of jokes, people will only say that I have no tutor in Rongguo Mansion!" ”

Listening to Mama Rong in the corner at the door, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she went to the tea room happily!

Yun Xiangrong saw that his grandfather's face was obviously uneasy, and hurriedly said: "The granddaughters have written it down, and the grandfather has taught him a lesson!" ”

The fourth young lady looked inexplicable, she didn't know why Bai Yun wanted to admit her mistake, but when she saw Rong Guogong sweeping over with cold eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head!

Rong Guogong looked at Yun Xiangrong, who had a resolute face, and didn't understand his granddaughter's thoughts, sighed and said: "The five girls are going out in three days, I have discussed it with your grandmother, and now you also know the situation of the Yun family, according to your ranking, the third girl has two more heads than the fourth girl, the fourth girl has added a head face, and the fifth girl is the same as the seventh girl's dowry jewelry!" 200 taels of silver per person, a shop, a grange of 50 acres each, the family is in great trouble, grandfather can give you, there is only these, if the family is better in the future, grandfather will add some land to you! ”

To be honest, these dowries are really not much, when the Rongguo Mansion was at its peak, even in front of the old lady, the big girl with face would marry, and there would be more dowry than here, not to mention the Rongguo Mansion, a pampered young lady!

Yun Xiangrong stood there quietly, Miss Seven was a little anxious, just these things, even if the mother was there, there would be preparations, but it was too little, and if she got married like this, wouldn't she lose face among her close friends in the boudoir and her mother-in-law! Although she was depressed in her heart, Miss Seven still didn't have the courage to question Rong Guogong!

Seeing that his granddaughters were very quiet, Rong Guogong was a little satisfied, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand down, and said softly: "Let the girl stay, you guys go back first!" ”

Seeing that Yun Xiangrong was left alone, the fifth lady turned around and walked out of the upper room step by step!

Miss Seven was in a hurry to discuss with her parents, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Miss Fourth and Miss Five, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my mother for a few days, I'll go over and take a look!" After saying that, he turned around and walked to the back room!

When the fourth lady saw it, she also hurriedly pulled the fifth miss and said in a low voice: "Let's also go to see our mother, listen to my sister, although she is not our biological mother, after all, I have watched you and I grow up over the years, and the people of my mother-in-law's family will also treat her as our biological mother. ”

Miss Fifth knew in her heart that what Miss Fourth said was the truth, but she was unwilling to show weakness and turned her head to the side, but in the end, she didn't turn her head back to her yard like usual!

The fourth lady looked relieved, the corners of her mouth curled, and she said softly, "Let's go over and see my mother too!" After saying that, holding Miss Five, the two sisters awkwardly went to the back room!

Yun Xiangrong was left alone, Rong Guogong looked at the quiet granddaughter, and said softly: "You already know about the snow sculpture?" ”

Yun Xiangrong nodded, and Rong Guogong said softly: "There are still some things at home, but at this moment, I'm afraid that there are many eyes staring at the Yun family, for fear of causing trouble, I can only wronged you, and when the emperor is completely relieved of the Yun family, my grandfather will take out all the things and give them to your sisters!" ”

Yun Xiangrong sighed, but didn't say anything, and still stood quietly with his head bowed.

Rong Guogong looked at it and sighed, and continued: "Nian'er's matter, you probably heard about it, and grandfather didn't argue for himself, the eldest princess was invited to a banquet that day, for some reason, the wine was only drunk, and the grandfather fainted, and when he woke up, he knew that he had rested in the guest room of the eldest princess's mansion for a night, and he still had underwear on his body, and he didn't think much about it at the time, a year later, I heard that the eldest princess adopted a child, and it was rumored that the child looked like me. At that time, I knew that I was afraid that this kid had some relationship with me! Another year passed, once I met the eldest princess, she said it implicitly, but she was very angry at the time, and I didn't finish listening, so I left, and now the person has gone, the child ...... Grandfather is not shirking responsibility, but now that your grandmother is like this, it is when she needs someone to take care of her, and the child will be entrusted to you, if Zheng Guogong says something, grandfather will go and talk to him! ”

Yun Xiangrong didn't want to listen to Rong Guogong anymore, so he coldly interrupted Rong Guogong's words, and said softly: "He will raise Nian'er, just hope that in the future, grandfather will not recognize Nian'er again, this may be the best arrangement for that child!" After Yun Xiangrong finished speaking, he quietly entered the inner room, and seeing that the old lady was already asleep, she gently tucked the corner of the quilt, quietly went out of the inner room, saluted Rong Guogong respectfully, and quietly went out of the upper room!

Rong Guogong looked at the stars in the sky in amazement, and let out a long breath of turbidity!
