Zou told Xu Zheng about the topic discussed by the three of them just now: "It's the end of March now, and it's only a month and a few days before Jinniang's marriage. The wedding feast should be prepared as soon as possible. ”

As soon as he heard that Xu Jinyu was married, Xu Zheng felt that it was not a taste of sullenness in his heart, and frowned and said: "Don't worry about the wedding banquet for the time being!" ”

"How can you not be in a hurry." Zou glanced at Xu Zheng with disgust: "Prepare early, don't panic, and there will be no mistakes when the time comes." There is also the matter of Jinniang's dowry, and I also want to discuss it with you. On that day, the Anguo Mansion sent so many dowry gifts, I want to divide half of it to make a dowry for Jinniang, what do you think? ”

"Mother, you don't have to keep half of it," Xu Zheng quickly interrupted Zou: "All the dowry gifts are for my sister!" ”

Zou hesitated slightly, and subconsciously glanced at Cao Ying.

According to the practice at this time, the man's dowry was given to the woman's family.

In the past, Zou would not hesitate to give these dowries to his daughter as a dowry. But now, there is an extra daughter-in-law in the family, and her mother-in-law can't help but have a little more scruples when she speaks and acts. lest the daughter-in-law be haunted in her heart

Cao Ying was very keen and intelligent, and almost as soon as Zou looked at it, he smiled and opened his mouth and said, "I also agree with my husband's opinion." The dowry was sent by the Chen family, and Jin Niang brought it back to the Chen family. In the future, Jin Niang will be able to straighten her waist and speak in the Chen family. Mother-in-law, just listen to your husband! ”

Zou frowned, and said with a smile: "Well, since both of you say so, let's do what you want." ”

The only person who objected was Xu Jinyu: "Mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law." I don't have to pay so much dowry. I said before that Chen Yuanzhao didn't marry me for my dowry. Otherwise, he would have been able to marry those daughters from famous families. Just give me half of the dowry. The other half stayed at home."

"Chen Yuanzhao didn't marry you for the dowry, I promised you a family affair, and it wasn't for the Chen family's dowry." Xu Zheng only said one sentence, and blocked all Xu Jinyu's words: "This matter is settled, you don't need to say it anymore." ”

Xu Jinyu felt both heartwarming and helpless: "Big brother"

Xu Zheng looked at Xu Jinyu steadily, his eyes were gentle and firm: "Sister, I'm incompetent as a brother. Didn't save much for your dowry. Now it's just a dowry gift from the Chen family to you, in fact, it's not what I gave, because these are originally yours. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jinyu could only nod her head.

Xu Zheng seems easy-going. In fact, he is resolute and has a strong sense of self-esteem. Because of Chen Yuanzhao's family background, Xu Zheng already feels aggrieved everywhere. Now insists on bringing all the dowry gifts back to the Chen family, not only because she feels sorry for her sister. There is also a subtle meaning of being different from Chen Yuanzhao. If she insists, it shouldn't. Xu Zheng must not have a taste in his heart.

Forget it, it doesn't hurt to bring it back to Chen's house.

Anyway, if there is anything in the Xu family in the future, she will do her best to help.

Xu Zheng made such a decision, and he felt very comfortable.

However, he was also secretly worried that Cao Ying would be secretly unhappy. In private, when the young couple was alone, Xu Zheng specially explained: "Ah Ying, I only have such a sister, and she is going to get married." As a big brother, I should be more dedicated. The Chen family is also the residence of the national prince. The dowry is too shabby, it will definitely be ridiculed"

"I understand everything, you don't have to explain." Cao Ying pursed her lips and chuckled, and gently took over the conversation: "Could it be that in your heart, am I such a greedy person for money?" The dowry gifts sent by the Chen family were all given to Jinniang as a dowry. Your brother loves Jinniang, and I, the sister-in-law, can't I feel sorry for her. ”

When Xu Zheng heard this, he was very moved in his heart, and took a step forward without emotion, and hugged Cao Ying into his arms: "Ah Ying, it is the greatest luck in my life to be able to marry you." ”

Cao Ying snuggled into Xu Zheng's arms with a red face, and tenderness and sweetness swelled in her heart

Time slipped by, and the weather got hotter.

The day of marriage is approaching, and Xu Jinyu's mood is uncontrollable and nervous.

In her previous life, after she married into the Weining Marquis Mansion, she was soon placed under house arrest, and then sent to a secluded Zhuangzi. Those memories were painful, and they also made her faintly rejected the matter of getting married, and even some indescribable panic and uneasiness.

Ye's shrewdness is powerful, can she get along well with Ye's?

An Guogong has a knot in his heart for Chen Yuanzhao, and he won't have much affection for her daughter-in-law!

Chen Yuanbai is eyeing the position of the son, and the Yuan family has married into the Chen family for many years, has given birth to two sons, and has already gained a firm foothold. After getting married, there was also an open and secret fight between him and the Yuan family.

The mother and son of Tao's Chen Yuanqing in the second room also live in the Anguo Mansion. There are many people, and there are inevitably many rights and wrongs.

There is also Chen Yuanzhao's hidden ambitions, hidden enemies in the shadows

A series of worries piled up in her heart, making her worried. It's just that she hid her thoughts very deeply, and even those who were close to Zou and Xu Zheng didn't notice it.

Only the early summer accompanied by day and night, vaguely perceived a little.

"Miss, your appetite doesn't seem to be very good these days, and your face is not as good as before!" In early summer, while combing Xu Jinyu's hair, she chattered: "In a few days, it will be the happy day of Miss's marriage." should be happily waiting for the marriage, why is the mind restarted? ”

Xu Jinyu didn't want to say more, and responded perfunctorily: "I didn't think much about it, it's just that the weather is getting hotter, and my appetite is not as good as before." ”

He also advised: "Don't tell your mother and eldest brother about this, so as not to worry them." ”

Seeing that Xu Jinyu was cautious in early summer, he didn't dare to slack off, so he nodded obediently.

Chu Xia couldn't hide his thoughts, and after a while, he couldn't help but say again: "Miss, if you have any thoughts, you might as well tell the slave maid about it." The slave and maid must be tight-lipped and never tell anyone. ”

The concern is palpable.

Xu Jinyu's heart warmed, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing." It's just that I'm about to get married, and I'm a little flustered. Our Xu family has a simple population, and I am close to my eldest brother. Never blushed. It's different in the Anguo Mansion, there are many people and complicated relationships."

Ultimately. is about to leave home and marry a wife, and her heart is panicked.

Xu Jinyu, who has always been calm and self-controlled, rarely showed a little confusion and uneasiness on her face.

Chu Xia smiled dumbly: "Miss is so smart, it turns out that there are times when you drill the horns." When a woman grows up, she always has to get married. At the beginning, the husband's family was naturally not as good as the mother's family, and there would always be many things that did not fit in. However, after a long time, it will naturally gradually get used to it. ”

Just a few words. made Xu Jinyu suddenly brightened.

Yes, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. To dwell on possible troubles in the future is undoubtedly asking for trouble

The night before the wedding. Zou deliberately went to Xu Jinyu's house and earnestly told him for a long time: "Jinniang, after you get married, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Chen family and the wife of Chen Yuanzhao." You can't be as casual as you are at home. Be filial to your in-laws. Serving her husband. I have to get along with my aunt and sister-in-law."

Xu Jinyu responded softly.

Zou babbled and talked for a long time, until he couldn't think of anything to tell him anymore, so he sighed and held Xu Jinyu's hand tightly. There was a gleam of water in his eyes.

The baby daughter in the palm of her hand is now an adult and will get married tomorrow.

After getting married, she is the daughter-in-law of someone else's family. It's not easy to see each other

Xu Jinyu saw that Zou's eyes were red, and she also felt sour in her heart. said in a low voice: "Mother, I am married, and I will always be your daughter." I will come back to see you often in the future. ”

"Silly girl, after getting married, stay at your husband's house with peace of mind, don't always worry about coming back, lest your in-laws be unhappy." Zou wanted to squeeze out a smile, but tears flowed out unobediently.

Xu Jinyu's eyes were red, and she threw herself into Zou's arms, and tears welled up: "Mother, I am reluctant to leave you and my eldest brother, I don't want to get married."

Zou choked up: "Jin Niang, my mother can't bear you!" ”

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time before their emotions slowly calmed down.

Zou wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and wiped his tears for Xu Jinyu: "Your marriage is a great joy, I should be happy, you should be happy, don't cry." There's one more important thing I haven't told you! ”

The most important thing?

Xu Jinyu was stunned and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

A trace of discomfort quickly flashed across Zou's face, and he coughed and said, "It's a matter between husband and wife." ”

Although Zou said vaguely, Xu Jinyu quickly understood, and her pretty face turned red. It's so embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing. Even if the other party is a mother-in-law, it is very awkward.

Obviously, Zou feels the same way. After swallowing for a long time, he couldn't open his mouth, so he simply took out a thin booklet from his arms and quickly stuffed it into Xu Jinyu's hand: "You can look at it yourself!" ”

After saying that, he got up and went out.

The pace was hurried, and the ears were faintly red.

Xu Jinyu originally felt ashamed, but when she saw Zou's reaction, she couldn't help but smile, but calmed down a lot. Turning over the thin booklet in his hand, a picture of naked men and women intertwined suddenly came into view.

The person who drew this booklet is obviously a middle master, the image of the painting is realistic, and the expressions of obsessive obsession on the faces of men and women are lifelike.

Xu Jinyu's face turned red, and she immediately closed the booklet, her heart pounding fast.

Her only experience with men and women was the night in her previous life. But that time brought her pain and humiliation, as well as endless regret. In the years that followed, she never wanted to think back to that time.

Thinking of Ji Ze, she only felt disgusted. Even with the things of men and women, they are very indifferent, and even a little repulsive.

But tomorrow, she will marry Chen Yuanzhao. Between husband and wife, this kind of intimacy is always indispensable

Xu Jinyu bit her lip, ruthlessly, and quietly opened the album like a thief. With mental preparation, I am much calmer when I look at the picture above.

The booklet is not very thick, only a dozen pages. On each page is a man and a woman. The poses on each painting are different

The more Xu Jinyu looked at it, the redder her face became, and her heart beat faster and faster. There was a strange strange softness in the body.

The men and women in the picture suddenly changed their faces, the woman became herself, and the man became Chen Yuanzhao, hugging each other tightly, doing extremely intimate things

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Jinyu was suddenly startled, came back to her senses with a red face, quickly stuffed the booklet under the pillow, and then opened her mouth to say, "Who is it?" ”

Xu Zheng's clear voice sounded outside the door: "It's me, open the door quickly." ”

Xu Jinyu answered, got up and went to open the door

After Xu Zheng came in, he first glanced at Xu Jinyu and asked in surprise, "Why is your face so red?" Are you feeling unwell? ”

Xu Jinyu pretended to be calm and responded: "My mother came to see me just now and told me a few words. I cried for a while, so my face was red. It will be fine in a while. ”

I don't know if Xu Zhengxiang believes this statement, in short, Xu Zheng didn't ask any more questions, and said in a low voice: "Sister, you are going to get married tomorrow." I have something I want to say to you alone. ”

"We married the Anguo Mansion, and it is indeed a high climb. However, this is also a family affair that Chen Yuanzhao personally asked to marry. After you marry into the Anguo Mansion, just straighten your waist and be a man. ”

"The population in the Anguo Mansion is larger than our Xu family, and it is much more complicated. However, with your intelligence and dexterity, I'm sure you'll be able to adapt quickly. If anyone dares to bully you, don't swallow your anger, remember to tell Chen Yuanzhao. It's good that he's willing to support you, if he doesn't ask, I, the big brother, will never stand idly by. ”

"If Chen Yuanzhao dares to treat you badly, I will definitely go to him to settle accounts!"

The last sentence is categorical and murderous.

Xu Jinyu felt funny, but also very moved in her heart: "Big brother, thank you for thinking about me wholeheartedly." Don't worry, I can handle it. Chen Yuanzhao will definitely be good to me. ”

Xu Zheng stared at Xu Jinyu, his eyes revealing reluctance: "It's good if you have confidence." In short, my mother and I are your eternal dependence. If you're not happy in the Anguo Mansion, you can come back at any time. ”

Xu Jinyu's nose was sour, and she nodded vigorously, her eyes glinted: "Big brother, I won't be at home in the future, you have to take good care of yourself and live a good life with your sister-in-law." ”

The happiness that Xu Zheng has lived is her greatest hope in this life.

Xu Zheng snorted, his eyes softened: "Sister, you also want to live happily and peacefully." ”

Under the candlelight, Xu Zhengqingjun's face was full of warmth and concern.

Xu Jinyu couldn't help herself and cried again.

Xu Zheng stepped forward and gently hugged Xu Jinyu.

The two siblings have always been the most important people in each other's lives. Now, Xu Zheng is married to a wife, and Xu Jinyu will also get married. After tomorrow, Xu Jinyu will be Chen Yuanzhao's wife, and the most important man in her life will no longer be his brother

Thinking of this, Xu Zheng's heart was extremely sour, and the corners of his eyes were warm
