That Mrs. Qi knew at a glance that there was a door. This Mrs. Mei is really the same as rumored, she is a villain who forgets her righteousness. The five thousand taels of silver seemed to have moved her.

Mrs. Qi said: "Think about it, your family lives so narrowly, and there are a bunch of aunts in the backyard, and the girls from your own concubines have to be crowded in a wing room with the concubines." If the eldest girl gets married, won't these dowries be kept for the two girls in front of you as dowry? Aren't these two girls able to have their own rooms to live in, and how sad are they to live together? When the future is big, it will not be good to look at others. The appearance of the eldest girl and her temperament are all good, isn't it because the dowry is less, so it is so difficult to marry? Do you also think that your future girl will not be able to marry because of the lack of dowry? ”

Mrs. May was even more moved. Thinking in my heart. If she could have an extra bride price of five thousand taels of silver, her two daughters would have a dowry. plus the one thousand taels she saved in private. Each daughter can have 3,000 taels to marry, and she is worried about not being able to find a good in-law?

Mrs. Mei said, "However, isn't the 5,000 taels of dowry converted into wine, tea, jewelry, and the like?" We still have these things in our house. ”

Mrs. Qi hurriedly said, "Where can I be?" Can't we just come to the door with a silver ticket of 5,000 taels to propose marriage? How ugly that is. My sister said that she prepared a dowry of 20 taels, tea, wine, clothes, fabrics, head and face jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and also gave a dowry of 5,000 taels. What do you think? ”

Mrs. May was immediately overjoyed.

Mrs. Qi hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "These things are all good things, when the time comes, you will deduct half of those wine and tea to entertain the guests." Just leave half for the eldest girl as a dowry. As for clothes, jewelry, fabrics, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, even if you keep them yourself, you can use them as a dowry for the girls you give to yourself in the future, and you can also marry your sons and daughters-in-law. The five thousand taels of silver tickets fell into the bag safely. How nice. ”

Mrs. May said, "But." If the in-laws give more dowry. We give a small dowry, don't people say it? ”

When Mrs. Qi heard this, she called her in-laws. It seemed that it was almost over, so he said: "Where do people care about your things, as long as the two of you talk about it, why do you care about others chewing their tongues?" ”

Mrs. May was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Okay." Please ask Mrs. Qi to go back and bring a letter to Sister Ling, I will tell the master today. After the Lantern Festival, our two families will be able to get married. ”

Mrs. Qi smiled like it, chatted for a while, and then hurriedly said goodbye, she was still waiting to tell her sister the good news quickly.

Mrs. Mei waited until Mrs. Qi left. There is no way to be happy in her heart, she didn't expect that Mei Ying, the big girl who has always made her feel an eyesore, can still make her a sum of money. Seemingly. The future dowry of his two daughters will be on Mei Ying. As for Mrs. Qi's nephew being disabled, she didn't think about it at all. What about disability? Can't marry a daughter-in-law with a disability? Mei Ying is married to a disabled person. She's glad in her heart. Since she arrived at this house, because Mei Hanlin kept pulling women into the house, the population of the family has become more and more, she has given birth to a few children, and there are still a few children left in the front room, in order to make her children live better, she always tries her best to deduct the use of several children in the front room, but every time she stops Mei Ying. Mei Hanlin is obedient to this eldest daughter, and Mei Ying has always been in charge of housework, and Mrs. Mei hates itchy.

It's good now, this annoying spirit is finally leaving, and he can still make a sum of money for himself, is there such a good thing in the world?

Mrs. Mei was happily calculating, and without paying attention, her second-class maid Huan'er quietly ran to the wing room and whispered to the painting.

After listening to the painting, his face changed, and he thanked Huan'er, and Huan'er said: "Sister, don't thank me, if it weren't for the kindness of the eldest girl in our family, my father and mother would have died of illness and no one would have taken care of it." It's my honor to be able to do something for the big girl. Hurry up and sue the big girl, this matter is very urgent. ”

Hurriedly sent Huan'er away from the painting, and went into the house to talk to Mei Ying.

Mei Yingqi's tears suddenly flowed out, and she said, "A child without a mother is pitiful." Since I have no mother, I don't say anything about how difficult these days are, and I still work hard for this family every day, madam, why is you so ruthless and want to hurt me so much? Who doesn't know the second son of that family? It was originally good, but the hairpin was messing with grass, not learning well, drinking and gambling everything, gambling with others once, losing, and being broken by a noble son, and not being treated, this became a disability. If such a person asks me to marry, doesn't he push me into the fire pit? ”

When he entered the painting, he also burst into tears and said, "Girl, now is not the time to be sad, hurry up and think about it." ”

Mei Ying said with a bitter face: "What can I do?" The words of the matchmaker of the parents, I am a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, what can I do. ”

Thinking of the miserable life in the future, Mei Ying suddenly appeared in her heart. Seeing that the road was uneven, he drew a knife to help, not only saved her maid, but also saved her, so that she was saved from being molested by the young master. However, now, that person is thousands of miles away in the South Seas, where can he save her.

That time, she was rescued by him, and the girl's heart was full of him, looking forward to how good it would be to marry such a brave and kind son.

However, when she learned his identity, she died of this heart. That person is the queen's own nephew, the sister-in-law of the family, and the second son of the hottest Xiao Chen family in the capital. Although he is the second son, he is already a young and promising young man. The emperor named him a first-class official and went to Nanyang to build a city. Xiao Chen's family is rich and powerful, and many aristocratic girls in the capital are looking forward to entering their house. Moreover, I heard that the family rules of the Xiao Chen family are particularly strict, and concubines are not allowed. This is the place that many girls hope for.

Can she compare to him? Her father is just a small six-pin Hanlin, the family is still so poor, so messy, her aunt pushes her a lot, her stepmother looks at her unpleasantly every day, and there are a lot of brothers and sisters. Her dowry is laughing when it comes to it, and she may not even have the dowry of the personal maids of those big families.

Therefore, with her appearance, she is now sixteen years old, and there is still no good family.

Mei Ying was crying and thinking that she couldn't do it in this life, fate played tricks on her so much, and she could only hope that she could get married to that person in the next life.

In this way, Mei Ying cried for a long time, and in the afternoon, Mrs. Mei was still thinking about how to tell her husband about this marriage, and Mei Hanlin suddenly ran back home in a hurry.

Mrs. Mei is a little strange, the yamen is not working these days, and her husband goes to drink flower wine every day, and he doesn't come back in the middle of the night, why did he come back at this time today.

She asked, "Why did the master come back so early today?" Is it to come back and change clothes so that you can go out? ”

Mei Hanlin didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly said, "What's the door, our family has a big event." ”

Mrs. Mei asked strangely: "What kind of happy event, it just so happens that I also have a happy event to tell the master." Let's talk about it first, sir. ”

Mei Hanlin asked a little strangely: "What are your happy events?" You speak first. ”

Mrs. Mei hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Isn't the lord worried about the eldest girl's marriage day and night?" Don't worry about it now. Mrs. Qi has just arrived, and she has proposed a good marriage to us. It is the second son of the Cui family, a famous wealthy porcelain merchant in the capital. They asked to marry our eldest girl. He also said that he liked the character of our eldest girl, and our eldest girl married in the past, and she must be pampered like a daughter. They also knew about the situation of our family, so they did not want the dowry, but gave a dowry of twenty loads, and another five thousand taels of silver. Look, how much do you value our big girl? This future mother-in-law values our eldest girl so much, and in the future, when our eldest girl marries, she will definitely be favored by her mother-in-law. Life will definitely be good. Isn't that a happy event? ”

Mei Hanlin frowned and thought for a while and said, "Is Mrs. Qi the lady of Qi Hanlin's family?" How did her family and the porcelain merchant Cui family meet? ”

Mrs. Mei hurriedly said: "It's the wife of Qi Hanlin's family." Mrs. Qi's own sister is the head of the Cui family, and it was she who fell in love with the eldest girl in our family and asked her sister to come forward to ask for marriage. ”

Mei Hanlin frowned and said, "Which son of the Cui family?" ”

Mrs. May said, "Second son." ”

Mehan Lin was furious and said, "When I don't know? The second son of the Cui family, who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and everything, finally once provoked the son of the Bai family, broke his leg to the son of the Bai family, and was not allowed to be treated, and since then he has become a wasted person, and I have no opinion on marrying my concubine to the Shangjia family, but if I marry a waste person, doesn't this look down on me? What's wrong with giving five thousand taels of silver? Am I going to sell women? ”

Mei Hanlin's words were heavy, and her voice was loud, and Mrs. Mei was also startled, but she had expected this situation, and she had already prepared her words, and hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, master." The second son of the Cui family, although he used to mess around a bit. However, you see, among these disciples in the capital, which one of them was not fooling around when he was young? It's good to be older, and suffer a loss. I heard that since he suffered a loss, he has changed his past and is now a child. I also help the family manage the business. ”

Mei Hanlin said loudly: "No, we Mei Ying don't marry such a person." ”

Mrs. Mei immediately lowered her face and said unhappily: "If you don't marry such a good family, where can you marry?" The Cui family is so rich, as soon as they got married, they were young grandmothers, and their food, use, and housing were better than our family. Although our family is an official court, can we compare with others? We Mei Ying married to enjoy happiness in the past. Such people still dislike it, does the lord want the eldest girl to be a fate? ”

Mei Hanlin said proudly: "My daughter is about to be a fate. I also want to be a lady. (To be continued)
