The old man is rising step by step, and his son knows how to forge ahead, and the only daughter who is concerned is now getting better, and she is satisfied in this life.

The big house is kind to their three rooms, and if she still thinks about the big house, she is really not human.

The third lady has never been a shallow person, she is good friends with the big house, and her brothers help each other, which is good for everyone, and the old lady can also be relieved, why worry about that little thing, which makes people feel good?

The old lady fiddled with the Buddha beads, her face was gentle, and she said with a smile, "Soon, after the spring begins tomorrow, you can help me pick a few auspicious days, I will send someone to Yuanzhou, and let Brother Bei'er marry early, which can be regarded as a matter of my heart." ”

The third wife said yes again and again, and talked to the old lady about the Su family in Yuanzhou, sitting on the side calmly, listening with a sad expression, if it was really so good, how could it be married by someone who calculated it, it means that it is very weak, the Hou Mansion is a pool of deep water, how many people can she fight?

But An Rong didn't say anything, and listened quietly.

After laughing and talking for a while, the third wife went to the warm pavilion to look through the account books, and An Rong and Shen Anxi were by her side.

Only at this time did Shen Anxi find the space to talk to An Rong alone, "Fourth sister, when I went to deliver bird's nest porridge to my second brother in the morning, I saw Peony sending him a fan, and I made you worry about my brother's affairs several times, it's really hard for you." ”

An Rong smiled lightly, "What is hard or not, that is also my second brother, I should help him, in fact, the second brother is also affected by me, he used to live a very easy and stress-free life." ”

Shen Anxi chuckled, if she were someone else, she would definitely think that she was satirizing Shen Anmin, but if An Rong was speaking, it was definitely not.

The two of them stood behind the third wife, watching how she asked those stewards, what should be done, and the management was orderly, even if she managed her own yard in her previous life, it was not as good as the third lady's management of a huge West Garden.

Half an hour later, the third lady closed the account book.

"Let's do it first, the eldest girl is about to get married, the wedding card must be sent out today, before it is sent, bring the list to me and the old lady first, and the banquet should be prepared for thirty tables."

"Sixteen dishes per table, four cold dishes, twelve hot dishes, chicken, duck and fish, two jars of high-quality daughter red per table, remember to go to Zuixianlou to invite two chefs back, and prepare a menu for me to see."

"And those red satins, take them out and wash them first, and hang them up for me in time when the branches of Ming'er are dry," the third lady commanded in an orderly manner.

A few people in charge did not dare to slack off, and they should be again and again.

As soon as the stewards were gone, the third lady looked tired, and she sat in the carriage for a few days before she recovered for a night.

But Shen Anyun's marriage date is only three days, and if she doesn't get busy today, on the day of her marriage, she will be in a hurry and lose everything, and she will definitely lose face to the Hou Mansion.

The third lady got up and walked out of the warm pavilion.

The old lady looked at her face and said distressedly, "If you are tired and panicked, you can go to the blue yarn cupboard to rest for a while." ”

How dare the third lady rest, at this time, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion should give a dowry gift, she rested, the tired is the old lady, no matter how tired she is, it can't be heavier than the old lady's dizziness and vomiting blood.

"It's okay, the daughter-in-law insists on staying, and it will only take three days to wait for the eldest girl to get married," the third lady said with a smile.

Before the third wife's voice fell, a little maid came outside to report that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion had sent a dowry gift.

The third lady got up to greet her, and the old lady waved her hand and said, "You can sit in peace,* and Greensleeves, and you two will go out to greet you." ”

The third lady sighed slightly, I don't understand what the old lady means, it's not a trivial matter to give a dowry gift, the Hou Mansion doesn't go to a serious master, it's really unreasonable, but the third lady is moved in her heart, the old lady feels sorry for her.

Today, Mrs. Xuanping Hou gave the dowry to Mrs. Lin's second wife, she entered the door and saw the third wife, and after being slightly stunned, her face was faintly ugly.

The sister-in-law said that the master of the Wu'an Hou Mansion was sick a lot, and the two maids went to greet her today, and she didn't say anything, but she didn't expect the third wife to be fine.

Could it be that she worked hard to give a dowry gift, and the prince put his wife before he married, so he married a flat wife and went back, and it was they who suffered from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, why didn't they even have the least welcome?

Second Mrs. Lin felt that she was being treated slowly, and felt that the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion did not really want to get married.

When the third wife saw her, she got up with a smile and said, "I neglected Second Mrs. Lin, I only returned to Beijing yesterday, and I was hit by hail, and now I am a little better, and I have to be busy dealing with the affairs of the house, I am really tired, and if I am rude, please don't blame Second Mrs. Lin." ”

The third wife took the initiative to apologize and explained the reason for the neglect, what else can the second Mrs. Lin say, it is difficult enough to manage a huge mansion normally, and besides, she has just come back, so she will only be more tired.

He smiled understandingly, "Yesterday's hailstorm was really unexpected, fortunately, there is a ban on the market, otherwise I am afraid that there will be mourning all over the wilderness, and the third wife returned to Beijing yesterday, which is really unfortunate." ”

"It's not unfortunate," said the third lady, and then laughed again, "Fortunately, I came back yesterday, and the old lady is too weak to bear those trivial worries." ”

Second Mrs. Lin didn't see the old lady, she estimated that she was recuperating, and when the third lady asked her to sit down, Second Mrs. Lin sat down.

An Rong and Shen Anxi were in the warm pavilion, peeking there without image.

After a few words of greeting, the second Mrs. Lin took out the gift list, and the third lady took it and looked at it twice, frowning, "I just came back, and I don't know enough about the marriage between the Marquis of Wu'an and the Marquis of Xuanping, but I heard that the original agreement was to marry the eldest girl as a wife, and the Marquis of Xuanping Mansion was really hired according to the ceremony of the wife?" ”

Mrs. Lin took the tea lightly, and after putting down the teacup, she first praised the fragrance of the tea leaves, and then said with a smile, "The two governments said good things, how can there be any reason to change them?" ”

The third lady rolled her eyes again, and said with a smile, "The gift of the flat wife is eighty percent of the gift of the main wife, if you look at it according to the gift of the flat wife, the Xuanping Hou Mansion does not seem to take much fancy to the future Mrs. Xuanping Hou Shizi." ”

Second Mrs. Lin's face stiffened slightly, and then she smiled, "Mrs. Shizi is carefully selected by my sister-in-law, how can she be sloppy, but as I said before, the eldest girl in the house needs to take a step back when she enters the door, so this gift of a flat wife naturally has to take a step back, otherwise it will not be worthy of the name, this dowry is sixty percent of the gift of the main wife." ”

Sixty percent? The third wife's face was slightly pale, is this still called the gift of a flat wife?

In the bedroom, the old lady heard that the dowry was only sixty percent of that of the main wife, and her face was also ugly, this was hitting the face of the Marquis of Wu'an.

In the main house, the third lady put down the dowry list, and said with a smile, "The Xuanping Hou Mansion is too underestimated by our Wu'an Hou Mansion, and the old lady took a step back, because the Xuanping Hou Shizi has not yet married the main wife and entered the door, and it is for the mansion." ”

"It's chilling for the government to do this, I don't think the Xuanping Hou Mansion wants to marry the girl from our Wu'an Hou Mansion at all, and this family business is not settled."

This time, Mrs. Lin's face was ugly, and her eyes were full of incredulity, and the family affairs had been discussed, and the Marquis of Wu'an actually said that she would not marry!

"The eldest girl is now a member of my Xuanping Hou Mansion, and the family affairs have also been discussed, does the Wu'an Hou Mansion really want to tear her face?" Second Mrs. Lin also smiled but did not smile.

The third lady picked up the tea, gently stirred the lid of the teacup, and said with a smile, "The family matter has indeed been discussed, but the marquis of the dowry has not yet agreed, the old lady believes that the Marquis of Xuanping said everything, but she didn't expect to be fooled like this." ”

"Kyoto is not without precedent for quitting because the dowry has not been negotiated, the eldest girl is from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and please ask Mrs. Lin to be cautious, the eldest girl has not passed the door yet."

Second Mrs. Lin almost stood up in shock, and then sneered, "The eldest girl is not innocent for a long time, why do you want to marry someone else?" ”

The third lady hooked her lips and smiled, with a slight chill in her smile, "Marry another, I can't do it in Wu'an Houfu, but I have a lot of Zhuangzi in Wu'an Houfu, and any one of them is enough for a big girl to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime, since Xuanping Houfu has no intention of marrying, do you want my Wu'an Houfu to lick my face and marry the girl?" ”

Second Mrs. Lin stared at the third wife's face.

The third lady's face was calm, her eyes were clear, and there was no hint of joking.

Second Mrs. Lin beat the drum in her heart, this dowry has been brought here, if she doesn't marry and doesn't agree, wouldn't she have to throw it all out and carry it back as it is?

In that way, the face of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will be lost, no matter what, the gift of the flat wife should be eighty percent of the gift of the main wife, and it will be a loss if it is rashly reduced by two percent.

When the time comes, the two governments will not get married, but will make enemies.

Today's Wu'an Hou Mansion is not the Wu'an Hou Mansion of a month ago, the forces behind it are intertwined, and the sister-in-law can regress because of gossip, which is not because she fancy the power of the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

In an instant, Second Mrs. Lin's heart turned a thousand times, and then she smiled and said, "Isn't the third wife deliberately forcing us to Xuanping Houfu, how can there be a reason to leave the people of the prince outside, or not, I Xuanping Houfu will take a step back, and add another 1,500 taels to this dowry, this is already the limit, if Wu'an Houfu is not satisfied, then this family business is really going to fail." ”

Fifteen hundred taels is less than one percent.

"Two thousand taels, I will accept this dowry list, if it doesn't work, then I have to ask the second wife to bring the dowry back when she is tired," the third lady smiled gently.

Second Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth a little, but she was only angry for a moment, could she not agree?

"Two thousand taels, I'll make the decision," Second Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "When I go back, I'll send someone to send it immediately." ”

The third lady smiled and nodded, and instructed the maid to bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and asked the second Mrs. Lin to write down the two thousand taels.

After the dowry was discussed, the head of the front yard Fu told him that everything was on the right and placed in the vacant room vacated in advance, waiting for her to check.

When Mrs. Lin saw that the matter was done, she didn't stay longer, and got up to say goodbye.

The one who sent her out was still *, Green Sleeves.

Mrs. Lin Er is so angry, it's not enough to wait for one time, but also for the second time!
