It was getting late, and Qi was still personally inspecting his daughter's dowry, and he was busy with several maids, just the clothes and fabrics had not yet been inventoried, and the courtyard outside was also busy handing over the wood, and the furniture and furnishings had already obtained some large and small cages, which was still far from enough.

Mama Wang came back after dark, came to see Qi's family, Qi's saw that the things were almost packed, and asked the maids to watch, she went into the house and sat down, Mama Wang was busy holding a cup of tea, "Madame also moistened her throat, this is also a busy day." ”

Qi sighed tiredly, took a sip of tea, picked up the booklet and looked at it, "The jewelry has to be played more, all kinds of long hairpins and short hairpins are prepared, Yingguo Mansion has a lot of entertainment, Yutan is the eldest daughter-in-law, and the aunt will not be indispensable for entertainment in the future, if her dowry is not rich, she will have no face in front of her in-laws, and it will be difficult to see her concubine in the future." ”

Mama Wang smiled, "Mrs. is very worried, our eldest lady can't let people look short, Mrs. handed me the errand already has eyebrows, there is a shop on East Street, it looks inconspicuous at all, the original boss is old and wants to go back to the countryside to live, their family is doing silk business, the old slave paid attention to it, it is a prosperous shop, a lot of monthly interest, only the same, the boss bites to death to six hundred taels before he is willing to sell, or one day Mrs. will go to see? ”

"Six hundred taels of silver is a lot, if it's really a rare good one, you look really good?"

Mama Wang hesitated for a moment to say whether to say anything, and Qi said, "You still don't know my temper? What can't be said. ”

Mama Wang sneered, "It's really hard to say about the old slave, the old slave saw a person today, and the lady also knew him." When Mama Wang saw Qi looking at her, she hurriedly whispered, "The old slave met Cuimo, the former maid of the second lady. ”

Qi Shi was taken aback, "Cuimo? She was sold, and in the hands of whom? How are you doing now? ”

"This lady can't guess it, even the old slave is like a dream at this time, and the eldest prince actually has this ability."

Mama Wang didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said busily, "The old slave is also curious, today I went to the eldest son's shop, the old slave originally thought that the eldest son was a child's family, and his shop was just a joke, the old slave went in first, pretending to buy tricks, a mother-in-law saw the old slave and hurriedly went in, the old slave still wondered, and after a while, a girl's house beckoned the old slave in, it was Cuimo, speaking of which she was still the old slave's goddaughter. ”

Mama Wang paid attention to the look of the lady, and saw that the Qi family was listening attentively, and hurriedly continued, "It turns out that the second lady had an accident that day, and it was the eldest prince who secretly sent someone to redeem Cuimo from Renyazi, and lived in the Zhuangzi for a while. ”

Qi snorted lightly, "Brother Shen, this kid has become a refinement!" ”

"This young master is really going to become a refinement." Wang Mama sighed, "The eldest young master ransomed Cuimo, and returned the deed of sale to her, and told her that it was for the friendship of the second lady to treat him, and the second lady was easy to save private money, and he said that he would give it to him, and now he has silver in his hand, so he wants to help the second lady do something, that small shop is only a street away from the Yingguo Mansion, and it is only a street away, and it is not noticeable, and there are maids and women in the house who come out to buy a needle and thread, Cuimo said, the eldest prince said to open the shop first, and the people in the house also know a few, In the future, the second miss will get married, and it will be convenient to use a small amount of money, the second miss is thin-skinned, and she will not say anything when she goes home after being wronged, so he asked Cuimo to make friends with the maid in Nafu, and she will help the second miss in the future. ”

Qi couldn't say anything for a long time, but he read Brother Shen'er's name over and over again in his heart, sour and sour and couldn't tell what it tasted like, where did Brother Shen want to ask her to help take care of the shop, it was obvious that she was here, but she still had to receive this love.

"This kid has really become a sperm." Qi Shi muttered in a low voice, "Since Brother Shen looks good at that shop, you can go over tomorrow and take it down, and send a confidant shopkeeper to take care of that shop, and then you talk to Cui Mo about it, blame me for affecting her that day, I will definitely help her with whatever she wants." ”

"Cuimo thought of the lady's good, she also embroidered the dowry for the second lady, the old slave saw it in the past, the curtain of the hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren has been embroidered for most of it, and the best silk of the splendid workshop is used, Cuimo got the deed of sale, but he became more and more desperate, and he was full of praise for the eldest son."

Qi Shi showed a little tiredness, "I know everything, tomorrow I will have that shop, you and Cui Mo will have a good conversation, and then send someone to send the new set of mahogany tables to the eldest prince, and keep it for him to entertain, and there is no need to say anything else." ”

Mama Wang agreed and withdrew, Qi looked at the jumping candle flame and was slightly distracted, and thought of Brother Jin'er, and thought of Brother Jin'er's adoring eyes when he talked about his brother, and sighed softly, this is all fate.

This day is the auspicious day of the zodiac for the Yingguo Mansion to give a dowry, and the Qi family got up early in the morning to Zhang Luo.

It's almost an auspicious time, and the mother-in-law outside ran back with a smile to report the news, "It's coming, it's coming, it's all dressed in red and hanging colors, and a lot of guys have been carried, and the old slave doesn't have time to take a closer look." ”

After a while, the dowry gifts were brought in one after another, and it was the brother of Ying Guogong who came, Li Mingwei was busy accompanying him personally, and some praisers sang loudly, and the dowry was carried into the courtyard one by one, a pair of geese and an elk were all based on the ancient rites, and the servants in the yard were busy with smiles and smiles.

Someone had already run to report to the old lady, "Old lady, Ying Guogong and his family really value our eldest lady, they have a yard of things, and the Hou Ye and his wife are busy over there." ”

The old lady nodded slightly, and her heart couldn't help but get warm, but she still endured it, and when the Hou Ye and Mrs. received the marriage letter and completed the ceremony, the yard was cleaned up, and someone came to report the news, "Old lady, look at the fact that those dowry gifts are actually going to marry Mrs. Shizi, it has been spread all over the house, and even Hou Ye is happy." ”

"Send someone to say to the Hou Ye, and let him come over to see me when he is done." The old lady hurriedly ordered, and said that it didn't matter, it was not good to go out at this time.

The Hou Ye came over very late, and the old lady couldn't help but complain to him, "Why did you come here so late?" What about Qi's family, why didn't she come. ”

"She's very busy over there, Yutan is not easy to come forward, Yufang can't help, and the Qi family can't clean up slowly, and my mother has heard about it? The dowry in the Yingguo Mansion is the specification of marrying the wife of the prince, which can no longer be wrong. Li Mingwei also had a hint of excitement as he spoke, "Could it be that their family wants to invite the son of Li, there was no rumor in advance, and it was the brother of Ying Guogong who came today, and he didn't understand it at all." ”

When the old lady heard her son say this, she couldn't help but laugh like an old chrysanthemum, "I said that Yutan is a blessing, she really has this blessing, my uncle's family values Yutan, and she can also carry her younger brother in the future." ”
