As soon as the news came out, Xiao Chen's family was full of congratulations. Now that the Xiao Chen family is hot, the officials and eunuchs in the capital are all vying for the knot, and now that the Xiao Chen family has given the marriage, these people hurry up to congratulate and take the opportunity to accept it.

Xiao Chen's family was busy. The Mei family is also busy, the Mei family was originally cold, but now there is a big upset, and it has become the in-laws of the Xiao Chen family. Mei Hanlin's face was red with joy. Mrs. Mei was held by a bunch of ladies all of a sudden, and she was so happy that she secretly pinched herself several times, which was really like a dream.

Mei Ying was ashamed and had no choice. However, I also felt a little worried in my heart, I knew my own family background, where could I get the expensive dowry? Xiao Chen's family is rich, and I heard that even a maid can give a marriage of 1,000 taels when she gets married. In the future, if you marry yourself, you won't even have a maid's dowry, won't you be laughed to death by your subordinates?

Thinking of this, Mei Ying opened the makeup clip, opened the bottom floor and saw the jade bracelet that Mrs. Xiao Chen gave to her when she came to her house as a guest a few years ago. The emerald green color was like a pool of green water, lying quietly.

Mei Ying now recalls that at that time, Mrs. Xiao Chen seemed to be very kind to herself, and her eyes were full of satisfaction. At that time, I thought that this lady, who was the mother of that person, was so young and beautiful, she was really a great beauty, no wonder she could give birth to such a handsome son.

However, at that time, she couldn't have imagined that Mrs. Xiao Chen actually came to see her. It can be seen that this family affair is a marriage that Mrs. Xiao Chen is satisfied with. It is every girl's dream to be appreciated by her future mother-in-law, so that after marrying in the future, her mother-in-law will love herself and suffer less torture.

Mei Ying thought about it. I couldn't help but blush.

But on second thought, although the Xiao Chen family has lived separately from the Chen family, they are a member of the Chen family after all. The Chen family is a family, with many relatives, many children, and many concubines, and her dowry is so small. In the future, those people will look down on her. The concubines will laugh at her, too. But there is no way to do this, the background is born, although his family is poor. But in the future, if you are diligent and thrifty, and behave in a disciplined manner, you will definitely be able to stand in the Chen family.

I'm thinking about it here. Suddenly, he came in with a strange face and said to Mei Ying: "Girl, Madame asked someone to come and invite you to change your clothes and follow her to Tian Shilang's house as a guest." It's the eldest princess's house. ”

Mei Ying was a little strange. This stepmother of mine has never liked to take herself to socialize, every time she brings her daughter, why did she change it today and take herself with her? Besides. The eldest princess's house, that is the most powerful family in Da Chu, she really hasn't been there. I guess the stepmother didn't go either. Maybe it's to give her courage. Since the decree of the marriage came, the power of his own family has suddenly increased. Many of the banquets of the powerful family invited the stepmother to go. This is what my stepmother has dreamed of for many years, and once it has come true, I can't be happy.

Mei Ying changed her clothes under the service of entering the painting, and at this time, Mei Ying suddenly remembered, isn't Tian Shilang Lord Chen's brother-in-law? Tian Shilang's house is for a treat, isn't it that Mrs. Xiao Chen is also going? Today, maybe I will meet my future mother-in-law, and I am really ashamed and a little scared.

In this way, Mei Ying went to Tian Shilang's house with her stepmother in a worried mood. When they arrived at Tian Shilang's house, Tian Shilang's wife received their mother and daughter very warmly. Mei Ying's stepmother was very surprised and very happy. Mei Ying hurriedly whispered to her stepmother: "Madam, Mrs. Tian is the third sister of Lord Xiao Chen, yes, she is that person's aunt." ”

Only then did Maeves understand. No wonder she is so good to Mei Ying, because Mei Ying is about to become Mrs. Tian's niece and daughter-in-law? Think about it, wouldn't you have relatives with Mrs. Hetian like this? Isn't it equivalent to having relatives with the eldest princess? It's so exciting.

Mei Ying was really speechless when she saw her stepmother like this, there was no way but to look at it, I hope it won't be too embarrassing.

was socializing with his stepmother, when suddenly Mrs. Tian said, "Third brother and sister, you are finally here, come here and talk." ”

I saw a beautiful woman with clouds and misty temples and a maid entering the door, she was wearing a silver-red makeup gown, a small light green jacket with a stand-up collar, and a light green satin mink skirt underneath, red with green, not only not tacky, but also very elegant. The rich hair is inserted with a comb grate inlaid with gold and jade, and the treasure hairpin with brilliant gems looks bejeweled and very rich.

This person is none other than Xiao Chen's wife, the Bai family. Bai Shi smiled and said, "Third sister, didn't I go outside the city to see those people from Yangshantang?" I just came back, and I didn't change my clothes, so I came over. ”

Mei Ying blushed and hurriedly saluted. Bai Shi helped Mei Ying up with a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction: "Good boy, are you here too?" Why are you wearing so thin? It's not cold, these little hands are a little cold, why don't you get a hand stove? ”

Mrs. Tian smiled and said: "Obviously, you will love your daughter-in-law, this room full of people, a lot of sisters and sisters, you didn't see any of them, and you talked to your daughter-in-law." The emperor has already given the marriage, and in a few months it will be your family's people, you can hurt as much as you want, and you don't need to be courteous at this time. ”

Mei Ying's heart was warm, she lost her mother early, she had long forgotten the taste of being cared for by her mother, at this moment, she suddenly realized her mother's love, and tears were about to be left.

Mrs. Mei on the side looked at it and thought to herself, it seems that the rumors outside are true, and this Mrs. Xiao Chen is really going to get married because she likes Mei Ying. I really don't understand, what's so good about Mei Ying that she has to be favored by nobles?

When Bai heard that his sister had to joke, he also laughed and said, "The third sister will squeeze me." I only have a daughter-in-law in my eyes, and I don't have these sisters and sisters. ”

After speaking, I greeted those ladies one by one and greeted them.

Soon the feast began. Everyone ate and drank for a while, and the Bai family was about to change their clothes, and Mrs. Tian hurriedly said, "You seem to have drunk too much." How do you go alone? You love Miss Mei so much, let Miss Mei serve you to change your clothes. Mrs. Mei, can you borrow Miss Mei to take care of my brother and sister? ”

Mrs. Mei dared not agree, and said with a smile: "Ying'er, hurry up and serve Mrs. Chen." ”

Mei Ying was a little strange, but she agreed softly, holding Bai's hand, leaving the table, and out of the hall door, Bai smiled and took her hand and walked to a small ear room on the side. Mei Ying knew where the place to change clothes was, obviously not in a direction, which was a little strange.

Bai Shi smiled and said, "Good boy, I'm not going to change clothes, I have something to say to you, let's go to this room and sit for a while." ”

Mei Ying then understood, and hurriedly followed the Bai family, and after sitting down, the Bai family's maid began to pour water and make tea.

Bai looked Mei Ying up and down and said, "Good boy, you were personally chosen by me." I just like that you are capable, supple, and rigid. I know what's going on in your house. Come to think of it, have you been worried about the dowry for a while? ”

Mei Ying blushed and lowered her head.

Bai said: "Good boy, I know that you have not had a mother since you were a child, and your heart is bitter. In the future, when you enter the door of our house, I will be your mother-in-law, and our family will definitely treat you well. ”

Mei Ying raised her head, her eyes were already full of tears.

Bai Shi felt very sorry in his heart and said: "Good boy, you are a polite and sensible person, this period of time, so thin, you must be afraid of marrying into our family in the future, because the dowry is small, you will be neglected by your subordinates, and you will be looked down upon by your concubines." I've got you figured it out. ”

After saying that, the maid had already prepared the tea and brought it up. Out of one of the drawers in the transept came a clip, and the mahogany was inlaid with gold wire, which was very precious. When she opened it, Mei Ying was stunned, only to see a stack of silver tickets and three pieces of paper.

Mei Ying asked, "Mrs. Chen, what does this mean?" ”

Bai said: "This is 50,000 taels of silver tickets. I asked the third sister to invite your mother and daughter over for dinner today just to have the opportunity to give you this in private, you take it, go back, and use this money to buy a decent dowry. ”

Mei Ying Huoran stood up, her face flushed and said, "Mrs. Chen, if you dislike our family's poverty, I will ask my father to withdraw from this marriage when I go back." ”

Bai Shi was not angry, helped Mei Ying to sit down, and said slowly: "This family affair was given to me by personally going to the palace to ask the queen for marriage." How can I dislike your family for being poor? I am interested in your character, and I am not asking to marry for your family's family background and property. You know, my eldest daughter-in-law, born in a businessman, don't I love her as much as I treat my own daughter? ”

Mei Ying thought about it too, and looked at Bai Shi a little strangely.

Bai said: "Our family does not dislike your small dowry. However, our family is a family, and as you can see today, more than half of the families in the capital are related to us. And that's not to mention. In the Chen family's mansion, several concubines of your generation have already entered the door. The wife of the eldest Chen Wenqi is the daughter of the Bai family, with a rich dowry and a noble birth. is the daughter-in-law of Wenchang, the daughter-in-law of Wensheng, and the daughter-in-law of Wensheng are also from noble backgrounds, and Wenhao's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Wang family of the four major families. These concubines are either from families or high-ranking officials, not to mention, there are still a lot of dowries. If you get married, among the concubines, if your dowry is less, you will inevitably be ridiculed by them. You will know when you enter my door. Because our master is a concubine, our third room was not less angry with the big room and the second room before. I don't want my beloved daughter-in-law to be laughed at by them. Therefore, I want to give you this money in private, and you can buy a decent dowry for yourself. Just for my sake, you can accept the 50,000 taels of silver tickets. ”

Mei Ying took the clip handed over by the Bai family, and had mixed feelings in her heart, obviously for her own sake, but said that it was for Mrs. Chen's face, can this not be moving? It seems that he has really fallen into the nest of blessings. (To be continued)

ps: Today is also the third watch, thank you, finally the collection broke a thousand.

Thank you for your comments.

In fact, I really don't know much about the rules of ancient times, so I designed an alternate history, which is not found in history. Therefore, these ancient rules are still different from what everyone imagined. After all, this is an ancient that has been transformed by the traversers.

Hee-hee, I hope you can take over this explanation.
