Chai Xiu'e hung her head and was silent for a long time, but finally nodded, looked at the flickering candle flame, and replied seriously: "Don't worry, since I promised you to stay, then I will definitely try my best to do a good job and will not embarrass you." ”

Lu Shuyi nodded with a smile, put the second girl on one side, reached out and pulled Chai Xiu'e's hands, and said in an extremely slow but clear voice: "Don't worry, it will be fine in one qiē." ”

Chai Xiu'e felt warm in her heart, and she also squeezed Lu Shuyi's hand tightly, and under the candlelight, her eyes became more determined, shining like a jewel......

…………

For three days, early in the morning of the fifth day of the new year, Mrs. He took He Tai to Lufu.

On the surface, he said that he came to see Mrs. Lu, but in fact, it was for the 100,000 taels of silver.

In the main room of Yilan Courtyard, the eldest lady personally ordered an oolong tea for Mrs. He.

Mrs. He Er sat on the big kang near the window, holding an octagonal hand stove in her hand, and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" Our He family has no grievances or enmity with them, and they even asked for 100,000 taels of silver as soon as they opened their mouths, which is really too deceitful. ”

The eldest lady sat opposite Mrs. He and ordered a cup of tea for herself. In the past few days, she has not rested well for 100,000 taels of silver, and now she is dark blue.

"Who said it wasn't, but they pinched the handle of the two children...... "The eldest lady couldn't say it, so she only sighed: "The matter has come to this, and the reputation of the children is important." ”

Mrs. He pursed her lips tightly and was silent.

Back then, she took He Zhao'er in and raised her as her own child, but who knew that she had been raised with her brother who grew up under the same roof.

It's also strange that she hasn't seen it, they fight and make trouble on weekdays, and she, who is a mother, only thinks that their brother and sister are affectionate, and she hasn't thought about it in that way.

But the thing happened in something she hadn't thought about.

The corners of Mrs. He's mouth were red, and there were two big fire bubbles, she hadn't slept well since she beat He Tai and He Zhao'er.

"I've already decided on the family affairs of Zhao girl." Mrs. He Er drank a sip of hot tea, her eyebrows were slightly sorrowful, and she said in a low voice: "She is unwilling, she has been messing with me for more than half a month, and my heart is almost exhausted......

Mrs. He Er showed a depressed look on her face, put the teacup on the kang table heavily, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, looking very weak.

The eldest lady was taken aback, her eyes widened and she said, "Zhao'er girl has settled on someone's family?" When did it happen? Whose son-in-law is set? ”

Second Mrs. He's movements were too fast, and in less than a month, she married He Zhao'er.

A series of questions came to her face, and Mrs. He Er said slowly: "It's the matter in Layue." He also said: "The other party is from Jinling, surnamed Zhou, with a single name and a Lang character, and now he is serving as a seven-pin editor in the Hanlin Academy." After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "The ancestors of the Zhou family are all scholars, although there are few talents, but the family is not bad, and Zhao'er should not suffer a loss if she marries." ”

The editing of the Hanlin Academy is also a good position, and if someone promotes it in the future, it will also be promoted to a university scholar.

This family business is not bad.

The eldest lady let out an "oh" and muttered, "It's not bad, but can Zhao'er's child agree?" ”

He Zhaoer has also been a child who grew up in the palm of the He family's hands since she was a child, and she can't stand half of the grievances. Now that she wants to marry far away, how can she be willing.

Besides, the child still has He Tai in his heart, even if he gets married, can he live a good life?

The eldest lady was very worried.

She twisted her eyebrows and said: "In case she marries over, she plays the temper of the eldest lady and is not on good terms with her husband's family, and she is afraid that her life will be sad." ”

Mrs. He Er naturally knows this.

But what can she do?

You can't let He Tai marry He Zhao'er.

If something like that really happened, how could their He family still gain a foothold in Yizhou? Do you want this face of her? Do you want He Tai's future future?

The lesser of two evils, only marrying He Zhao'er is an expedient measure.

Second Mrs. He took a breath and said, "Anyway, I have already agreed with the Zhou family, and when the Shangyuan Festival is over, I will make a small decision first." After leaving the New Year's Gate, he set the day and married her to the Zhou family earlier. ”

"Wouldn't it be too rushed?" The eldest lady was stunned: "In such a hurry, it's too late to buy the dowry." ”

Mrs. He Er shook her head: "It's not in a hurry." She said: "Zhou Lang's mother died of illness three years ago, and because of this, no one has presided over the middle feed in the family. After Zhao'er got married, she was just able to take over the delivery and take care of the family. Therefore, the Zhou family is also looking forward to them getting married as soon as possible, so that Zhao'er can go over to preside over the feed-in as soon as possible. Moreover, Zhou Lang is the protégé of our cousin He Gelao, and this time's matchmaker is guaranteed by our cousin, and his old man happens to be free in March, and he can marry Zhao'er and Zhou Lang at that time, so whether it is the Zhou family or the He family, they all want to do their family affairs in March. ”

“…… As for the dowry, it is not difficult to do. Over the years, I have also prepared some things for her in advance, and with the addition of the box given by my mother-in-law, I can also make up thirty lifts. In addition, I will buy some gold and silver noodles, and find some good wood and a few fine furniture, so that I can make up sixty-four lifts. ”

"Your brother also plans to give Zhao Yatou two granges and three shops with several wangs, so that the dowry is not too small."

It's not a few, it's already a good marriage.

The eldest lady smacked her tongue slightly, and said generously: "I still have a box for her here, and you can take it with you when you go back." ”

Women are always filled with the blood of gossip.

The eldest lady stretched her neck and whispered, "Your brother doesn't have anything to say?" No matter how Zhao'er says it, it's also his blood and bones, although she is a maid, but he hasn't taken care of it for so many years, this time he got married, so he has to express it. ”

Second Mrs. He glanced at the eldest lady, and said a little unhappily: "My brother naturally recognizes him as a daughter, and he has already prepared for the dowry." ”

She held out a slap and shook it in front of the big lady.

The eldest lady hesitated for a moment and said, "Five thousand taels of silver? ”

"That's what you don't dare to say, add a zero to the end." Mrs. He Er raised her eyebrows, and her whole person's momentum changed.

"Five...... Fifty thousand taels? The eldest lady's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth, but she didn't come back to her senses for a while.

The Zhao family's family is actually very ordinary, and being able to take out 50,000 taels of silver to marry a girl can be regarded as a bloody investment.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot, Zhao'er married in the past with these dowries, and he will definitely not be offended." The eldest lady sat up straight and turned the topic to the 100,000 taels of silver that An Jia asked for: "The 100,000 taels of silver that An Jia asked for this time is not a small amount, what did my second brother say?" ”R1152
