After the flower banquet, the Duchess of Liangguo specially sent the official media to propose marriage to her concubine Liu He because of her beautiful appearance, Li Mingwei only said that let the Qi family be the master, and the Qi family was willing to be the master, so she went back to the old lady, and the old lady was really happy, "I said that Yurong is a blessed person, this girl is really a little blessed, the door of the Duke of Liangguo is there, and Yurong can still carry his younger brother in the future." ”

The marriage was decided in this way, and someone was sent to Yurong's Geng post, waiting for the next dowry to discuss the marriage date.

The Duchess of Liangguo is virtuous, she is very worried about the marriage of her concubine, and she is asking to marry the daughters of the high family, this time she asks to marry Yurong, but also because Yurong is really beautiful, Yurong feels that she is angry, and she quietly compares with Yutan's marriage in her selfish heart, and she is very satisfied, one is a stammering son, and the other is a beautiful young man like Zhilan Yushu.

In the evening, when the Qi family went to ask for peace, the old lady spoke, "Although Yurong is a concubine, the Liangguo Gongmen is there, and the dowry is not too simple, just the same dowry as Yutan, it is a dowry of eighty Taiwan, I have said this, and you two are not allowed to disobey, I don't allow you to treat Yurong badly, and you still point to Yurong in the back house, what can Yutan count on, what can she do if she marries a stammer." ”

Qi had a fire in his heart, and glanced at Hou Ye, Li Mingwei was still very fair, "It's not good for my mother to be like this, since ancient times, Yutan is a concubine, and the dowry of one hundred and twenty is not exaggerated, Yurong is just a concubine, she has a lot of dowry, and outsiders will laugh at our family's unruly, and there are forty dowries that are a lot, and no one can say anything." ”

The old lady still refused, she had to fight for the dowry for Yurong, and she refused to take out her own money to subsidize it, "Hasn't Yutan's dowry been prepared since childhood?" How about giving some to her sister? ”

The Qi family couldn't say anything in front of the old lady, just blindly silent, Li Mingwei had no choice, so he said to the Qi family, "Yutan is still a dowry of one hundred and twenty units, there will be no shortage of her, and the house will help Yurong prepare more." ”

Qi Shi was really angry this time, "Master Hou, isn't the Hou Mansion the most disciplined?" The concubine's dowry of thirty is not a lot, and the Hou Mansion is willing to pay forty, also because the family of Liangguo Gong is there, besides, her dowry is too much, and she has no face, and it will be difficult for Yurong to be a person in the future. ”

Li Mingwei simply pushed 625, he shook his hand away, "Then you can discuss it with your mother slowly." With that, he strode out.

The old lady was proud, "According to what I said, Yurong's dowry of eighty units, you go down and prepare." ”

Qi Shi was angry, but he laughed angrily, "Mother, I'm busy with Yutan's dowry now, she is a concubine, according to the rules, it is one hundred and twenty units, the face of the Hou Mansion can't be lost, as for Yurong's dowry, please worry about my mother." After saying that, he turned around and went out.

The old lady didn't expect Qi to dare to go out, so angry that the old man dropped the cup, felt distressed and sick again, and was busy looking for a doctor.

Qi also fell ill when he returned to the house, and he was also busy asking for a doctor, so he couldn't go to serve the sick, there was no daughter-in-law to serve the sick, and the old lady's illness was always not good, but Qi was sick this time, and he was only willing to worry about his daughter's dowry, and he refused to worry about Yurong.

Fortunately, the Duchess of Liangguo Ma Li, less than two days to send someone to give a dowry, the old lady put on new clothes early in the morning, sat there and waited, while still saying that Yurong is blessed, while complaining about Ying Guogong and their family, the family affairs have been said to be some days, and they have to wait for the auspicious day of the zodiac to give the dowry.

Didn't let the old lady wait too long, the descendants of the Liangguo family carried a pair of big white geese, a sheep, a wedding cake, a lot of wine, several mouthfuls of brand new big boxes came over, all tied with red silk, looking jubilant, the old lady was full of smiles, loudly ordered to reward, and the next person who gave the dowry for a while left, and the old lady was busy with Yurong to count.

The big box was opened, and Yurong was dumbfounded when he saw it, there were just some silks, cloths and other things, which looked like a lot, and there were also tea, fruits, reunion cakes, etc., and there should be a lot of them, but in fact, it was only two thousand taels of silver.

Yurong was almost crying, and the old lady's face was also very embarrassed, so she sent someone to find Qi Shi over, and asked Qi to go to the Duchess of Liangguo to theorize, but Qi was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and she didn't even dare to open her eyes when she lay on the couch.

The old lady was so angry that she went back to the house and fell ill, the dowry outside was piled up in a yard, no one ordered to put it away, and the people did not dare to receive the treasury, who knew what the old lady meant, so it was always placed in the yard, and the people in the house spread it.

When Li Mingwei came back from his official duties, he was so angry that he shouted, "Why don't you put it away quickly, what are you doing here?" ”

In the Liangguo Mansion, it is just a concubine to marry a concubine, and two thousand taels of silver is actually not too little, but the old lady's expectations are too high.

It's only three days, it's the day of the dowry gift in the Yingguo Mansion, Qi took Yutan's hand, unspeakably uncomfortable, Yutan smiled, "Mother, don't worry, I will live well." ”

"Your mother-in-law is also a continuation in the end, the eldest son is not her own child, and he is a stammer, my mother can only make up for you a little more, and it will be good to move out separately in the future, but I am afraid that your mother-in-law will not be able to go there, but now I can't worry about going there, and when you become relatives, their family should probably invite the son of the family, and after the second son gets married, you want to move out with your uncle."

Before Yutan could speak, he heard that Brother Shen was coming, and asked Qi Shi for peace first, and Qi Shi smiled reluctantly, "What are you doing here so late." ”

Brother Shen smiled, "I really don't have time during the day, so I have to come over at this time, mother, you don't have to worry, Ying Guogong's family is the sister who asks for the eldest son, and he will not treat his sister badly." ”

Yutan stretched out his hand and twisted Brother Shen'er's face, "What do you know about your little child, why don't you go back to read your book quickly, my sister is still pointing to you to support me in the future." ”

Brother Shen smiled, "Where is the future, I can help the second sister now." He rubbed his face and complained, "Mother, look at the second sister, as soon as you see me, screw me, my face is almost rotten." ”

Qi had no choice but to say, "Yutan, you will bully your brother." ”

Brother Shen took out a contract and handed it to Qi's family, "Mother, the second sister gave me two hundred taels of silver, and I added another two hundred taels of silver to open a small shop on East Street, and now it has been open for a month. ”

Qi Shi was taken aback, "Brother Shen, how old are you just now, you dare to go outside to open a shop, you are not afraid of losing business." ”

Brother Shen smiled, "Why am I not afraid, or why don't I dare to sue sù daddy, mother begs you, half of my shop belongs to the second sister, and it is left for the second sister as private money, and the dowry in the house is counted, and my small shop can also have a few hundred taels a year." ”

He handed Yutan a seal, "With this, you can go to the shop to withdraw money, if you take too much, you can take three or two hundred taels of silver at your sister's will." ”

Yutan was stunned for a long time and came back to his senses, "Brother Shen, I haven't wrung your face yet, how old are you, how old are you, don't you study hard, what kind of shop are you going to open, if you dare to waste your studies, see how I clean you up." ”

Brother Shen ran away early.
