The candle flame remained on until an hour later, when the middle-aged guard put down the pen in his hand, folded the letter, stuffed it into an envelope, and then sealed it with fire paint and handed it to his subordinates.

"Give it to the dark sentinel, let them send it to the capital for eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, and personally deliver it to the prince, without the slightest delay!"

"Yes!" The guard answered, put the letter solemnly in his bosom, and hurried out.

In the mansion of Zhen's mansion, Mrs. Zhen had just had a moment to rest, and a small servant hurriedly came to report.

The family's business plummeted, and two shops had closed directly, even if Mrs. Zhen was a woman, she was busy reading the account books in the backyard for three or four days.

"What's the shouting!" Mrs. Zhen put the teacup on the small table beside her, and her face was full of anger and did not hide it.

The little guy who reported the news trembled, and almost fell down, and he replied tremblingly: "Mrs. Hui, it was the second young master who asked the little one to send the letter back." ”

Early this morning, the eldest master took the second young master to invite the county master's family to have dinner in Yuebin Building, and it was not yet noon, how could he send a letter back.

But the second young master is Mrs. Zhen's heart after all, and she still asked people to bring the letter.

Mrs. Zhen swept the contents of the letter with a glance and ten lines, and the next second her hand clenched violently, and the letter suddenly crumpled into a ball in her hand.

The old man of Xinzhong County actually thought that the Zhen family gave too little hire money, and asked for two more shops, otherwise he would regret his marriage!

But the hiring fee was negotiated by them a long time ago, how could the county master be so deceitful like this!

When Zhen Hanxiao was there before. The two shops may not be anything to the Zhen family, but the Zhen family is no longer what it used to be, and now letting the Zhen family take out two more shops as employment funds is undoubtedly hollowing out the Zhen family and forcing it to a dead end!

Mrs. Zhen's clenched hands trembled, her face full of remorse, and she knew it earlier...... If you knew it, you wouldn't have driven the boss to leave home.

Thinking about the current situation in the family, as well as the unsettled family affairs of the third and fourth children, Mrs. Zhen hated a few husbands for a while, and it was useless, and no one could let herself give birth to a daughter. It's all a bunch of rubbish.

I want to leave these bad things behind. But when she thought of the second young master, she couldn't bear it.

After all, it was the child she gave birth to for the first time, and she looked the most similar to herself, and she was the most filial to her on weekdays. Mrs. Zhen gritted her teeth. She got up and entered the room. After a while, it came back again. Put two thin contracts in an envelope and give them to the little guy.

"Be sure to hand it over to the second young master yourself, otherwise you will come back and break your legs."

The little guy took the envelope. Nodding again and again, he quickly went to Yuebin Building again.

Mrs. Zhen's face was haggard, and she was tired when she thought that after the incident, the second and third masters would definitely quarrel with her.

Holding her head, Mrs. Zhen closed her eyes slightly and didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly she straightened up and looked at the depressed garden outside the flower hall in winter, as if she had made a decision.

came out of Yuebin Building and sent the county master to board the carriage, and watched the carriage leave, but the father and son were still standing in front of Yuebin Building in a daze.

They blocked the door, the shopkeeper of the restaurant did not like it, and today he was even more unhappy when he saw them inviting their in-laws to dinner, so he scolded impatiently: "Go home after eating, blocking the door and hindering us from doing business." ”

The eldest lord turned around and glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, "Old Yuan, you snob!" ”

"Okay, I'm a snob? Master Zhao, if you can also invite someone to dinner as you did at the beginning, you can charter my entire Yuebin Building, I will admit that I am snobbish! ”

The eldest lord was so angry that he couldn't speak, they were strapped for money, and today they had dinner with the county man, and they didn't even have any extra money to call a private room.

Although the son's marriage was a little bumpy, Mrs. always loved Hanxue the most, and sent the two deeds to preserve Hanxue's marriage.

Thinking that Miss County Cheng does not have a husband in her family, she is the same age as Hua, she is delicate and has a good temperament, and the county lord is asking for money now, just to pave the way for his promotion, and her son can marry the only daughter of the county lord, and he is the first husband, and the county lord is promoted, and he will definitely pull the Zhen family.

At that time, no matter what the son does, he will also have a backer, and the rest of the family may have to live by looking at his face in the future.

"Dad, let's go back, after I get married, see how arrogant their little restaurant is!" Second Young Master Zhao Hanxue said hatefully.

The eldest man flicked his cuffs and went home with his son.

Halfway through the carriage, Zhao Hanxue suddenly remembered that he had an appointment with his friend today, and after mentioning it to the eldest master, the eldest master did not stop him from meeting his friends, but only told him two words before letting him get out of the carriage and go to find his friend.

The second young master's friend is the youngest son of the Chen family in the east of the city, the two met in the academy, fox friends and dog friends, and the smell is the same, but the second young master of the Zhen family is more self-loving than the old man of the Chen family, although he has an arrogant and bad personality, he has not done anything out of the ordinary.

The eldest son of the Chen family has a problem, that is, a good man's style......

Every time I make an appointment to see Zhao Hanxue, eight out of ten must be in Fengyue place, and this time is no exception.

Zhao Han is familiar with the way and touched the appointment place, this time it is the famous place of flowers and willows in Songjiang City - Lavender Lane.

The elder of the Chen family was waiting for him in a private room on the second floor of a hook fence.

Although the family has not been going well for a few days recently, only Zhao Hanxue's family affairs are still smooth, and there are not many waves. This is also what Zhao Hanxue is most proud of, and he mentioned it several times in front of the old man of the Chen family, which inevitably aroused his envy.

The two chatted casually, and Zhao Hanxue said proudly: "Chen Liu, my family day is finalized, you just wait to drink your brother's happy bar!" ”

The old man of the Chen family replied sourly when he heard this: "You kid is really lucky, you can climb the young lady of the county Cheng family, and you are also her first husband, maybe the county Cheng lady is a complete body, if it is really complete, you have to carry eighteen gold bricks when you greet your relatives, but you have to break the cost." ”

"What's there, if that's the case, don't say it's a gold brick, even if it's jade, my mother will happily give it to me." Zhao Hanxue couldn't hide the smugness on his face.

I just feel that this time I really met a good girl who is compatible and has a good background.

The rules of the Great Song Dynasty, a woman before getting married, if she is still a complete body, it is a great glory for the husband's family, at that time, the husband's family according to the bride's age according to the situation, there will be more than ten kinds of the same items on the dowry, most of the rich are specially built gold bricks, and the official eunuch's house is jade. This is an affirmation of the bride's self-purity.

In such a society, most of the families with women will raise boys by the side of the women before they are married, and they will be used as small servants, and if they like it when they grow up, they will directly accept them as small waiters, which is extremely common, compared to how Yulan's current husband Liu Tie used to be a boy who accompanied him since childhood.
