When he went out here, Murong breathed a sigh of relief and led Shen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and Jiang Suting to Qinglin Yuan Flower Hall for tea.

Jiang Suting thought of the children's family affairs, and couldn't help but feel bored: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, what do you say is going on?" Is there a feud between the Zhang family and the Xu family or what? Ouch, Zhou Gongzi, who had seen a good job before, took the lead in amputation, and got engaged to the eldest daughter of the Xu family two days ago. It was Miss Yu of the Imperial Historian of the Right Capital who also exchanged Geng posts with the sister-in-law of Mrs. Jingnanhou's mother's younger brother, and she was also looking for a blessed matchmaker. ”

Mrs. Jingnanhou's mother-in-law's brother-in-law protects Zhou Gongzi and Sister Xu. Mrs. Jing Nanhou guarded the media for her nephew and Miss Yu.

The power of Mrs. Jingnanhou's mother's family has long been inferior to before, and the children under her door are not very promising, and they are not very good, but their qualifications are mediocre, and he will not do anything big in the future, but he can spend his life safely.

As soon as the Jia family heard that this was the daughter of Jiang Shupeng's eldest sister, they immediately gave the Fu Matchmaker a big red seal, and made an appointment on February 22 for the two families to get together to exchange Geng posts.

Yu Shi ate tea, "I think Changxing is very good with Tang Shilang's concubine, and Miss Tang is known as a virtuous person." ”

Murong said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, sister-in-law has asked Mrs. Fu to go to Tang's house to tell me about this." The Tang family, like the Jia family, is an official family that has only entered the imperial city in recent years, and there are not many people who know each other in the imperial city, and they need the support of their in-laws like us, so they will not refuse. ”

Murong was a little surprised, "Is Changlong's marriage not engaged for the time being?" ”

Jiang Suting suddenly became a little angry, "It's Se'er's marriage, and the bad things want to intervene, and I quarreled with him all night before he relented." Changlong's marriage said that he would be in charge, hmph, he was about to make everyone angry, and he couldn't listen to him at all? said that in his early years, there was a classmate surnamed Lu who was good friends in his hometown, and he failed repeatedly. I became a private school teacher in my hometown, and I promised to marry my children. He also said that it was insincere to let his concubines get married, and he had to decide Changlong's family affairs. ”

Murong Clan's most objection is this, in the past, Jiang Shukun also said that he wanted to marry Han Liang, the only son of the Han family is very famous in the imperial city, where is it half a point compared to Luo Siyuan, and said angrily: "Men don't understand these things the most." Your second brother almost gave his face to the Han family. Later, he said that Miss Han was worthy of conveying, but they were not happy. It didn't take long to hear that Miss Han had climbed the high branch of King Jing's son. It can be seen that this marriage is all about choosing your best sons and daughters to match him badly. How can you do such a stupid thing? ”

If they are the sons and daughters of good people. People are not happy, but they want to use his unsuccessful children to match other people's excellent children. There is no such thing in the world.

Jiang Suting was stunned for a moment, and said sharply: "If the daughter surnamed Lu is not worthy of Changlong, I will not agree to kill her." My sons and daughters, all of whom are flesh that has fallen from me, want to beat their minds and get past me. ”

Just don't provoke you. angered Jiang Suting, and got the true inheritance of the Yu family, and he would definitely let Zhang Desong go around.

Zhang Shuangshuang blew the tea leaves, "I think the eldest aunt should still find an old family member to inquire about it and see how Lu Xiucai's daughter is." If it's a virtuous person, it doesn't matter if your family background is poor. ”

Yu shook his head. I am not optimistic about Zhang Desong's move, that is, the concubine married the girl of that family, which is also a promotion, but I am afraid that Zhang Changlong himself will not be happy.

Zhang Shuangshuang said: "The Lu family's family is really poor. Miss Lu is also suitable for a concubine, which sister-in-law is married to a girl from a small family. Not yet worthy of a decent official lady......"

Jiang Suting said: "Miss Lu is not only virtuous, but if her appearance is not one in a thousand, I have something to refuse." "Anyway, she thought about it, and she decided when she saw Miss Nalu, so she had to pick a bunch of words to refuse, if Zhang Desong didn't let go, she asked Jiang Shuncheng's father and brother to persuade her.

Shen coughed lightly, "Sometimes because the two people have a good relationship, it is inevitable that they will be impulsive. In the past, I was still thinking about kissing and kissing my child, but fortunately I didn't, and if I did, maybe I would be blamed. Look at the present, Shi Ning's mother-in-law's mother-in-law is virtuous, and the eldest sister-in-law also loves her, which is also a good relationship; Chuanye and Miss Cao's engagement are also a good marriage, isn't this a good marriage? Therefore, if we want to be good to our niece, we as elders will bother to find a good one for her. ”

This matter has always been the most proud thing for the Shen family, and she did not ruin the good relationship of the two good children because of selfishness.

When Shen said this, she really woke up the He family on the side, and she remembered that her eldest niece had not yet allowed her family.

Cao Yulin, the youngest son of the Cao family, is a poor temperament, and the next one is not very good, an eldest daughter, a young son, it is really a good match.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know if Cao Yulin's son can be said to be a family affair?"

Shen looked stunned.

He smiled, "I think my eldest niece is good with him, and I want to be this iceman." ”

I swas.

Shen said: "People are delicate and upright, martial arts can ride a horse-drawn bow, and Wen can write poems and songs, but his temperament is a little more impatient." ”

These few times, Jiang Suting wanted to give her children Zhang Luo's family affairs, and the He family also listened a lot on the side, only because Cao Yulin was not very good-tempered, so he was given up by Jin Se and chose the eldest son of the Jia family.

The ladies of the room chatted for a while, playing the leaf card. Jiang Chuanhe, who came back from the Li family to give a dowry gift, talked back and forth with the chief housekeeper. Today, in order to be hired, because Jiang Shukun is sick, the matter of giving the dowry falls on the eldest brother, and there are also those who go by the big housekeeper, but usually by someone with status, who can be more happy and moved by the woman.

In order to show prudence, the Shen family asked Jiang Chuanhei to take a day off and made a special trip to the Li family with the chief housekeeper to give a dowry gift.

The number of dowry was set as early as January ago, which was to facilitate the preparation of the dowry by the woman.

*

Li Fu looked at the forty-two beautiful and festive dowry gifts, and then looked at the list, all of them were amazed.

The Li Mansion is also the same house for four generations, and Mrs. Li is Li Biling's eighty-year-old grandmother, and she is also supported by the girl to see the excitement at this moment.

Second Grandma Li was worried this time: "Sister-in-law, forty-two lifts, you see this list, it is much more beautiful than when the eldest sister came out of the pavilion, and it is full of high-quality things." ”

Although Li Bilian married the second son of the Xu family in Jingnan Houfu, the dowry given by the Xu family was not as decent as the Jiang family.

Mrs. Li squinted at a pair of old and dizzy eyes, and she couldn't close her mouth with joy. The great-granddaughters are all married well, and they will be able to help their mother-in-law brothers in the future, especially when these three granddaughters marry the upstart Pingxi Hou Shizi.

Mrs. Li said: "I heard that the sixth master of the Jiang family married the county lord of Changping, and it was also forty-two lifts, and the dowry was a full fifty lifts. That's a motherless family, everyone can accompany them like this, our house is indispensable. The third grandson is not an ordinary person, he is the son of the second rank of the lord, and as soon as Biling passes through the door, he is the lady with the seal, which can not make people look at the joke. ”

Mrs. Li lacked teeth, her speech was leaky, her body trembled slightly, and there was a subordinate on each side to support her, "Fifty-two sets of dowries." ”

Grandma Li furrowed her brows, "It adds up to ninety-four, this ...... It's too bad to hear, either two less lifts, or two more lifts. ”

Several people looked at each other, and according to the dowry sent over there, it was difficult for the Li family to make it up, even fifty-four was difficult enough.

Grandma Li said: "Why should we compare with Master Jiang Liu, the dowry of the county lord of Changping looks good, but there are not many granges and shops." I inquired and heard that there was only one grange, only three or four hundred acres of land, and there was only one rouge shop. The two ladies we came out of the cabinet before, which one is not six shops and three granges. I think it's also fifty lifts, according to the previous example, give the third sister six shops and four granges, which is not bad......"

Mrs. Li is unhappy, among the three great-granddaughters, this is the best in-law to find, don't want to stay in Lizi, the Li family wants both inside and face. "Just fifty-four, I will add two more to the shop, what is the place of Pingxi Houfu, the third girl is the eldest daughter-in-law when she marries, and she wants to be the housewife, you don't want to be spied on by someone like you."

Mrs. Li spoke, and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law were no longer silent.

Only Second Grandma Li was there to shout, "How can this be good, I only prepared fifty lifts." ”

Mrs. Li came up angrily, "I'll take three thousand taels of silver out, and then prepare four lifts, okay?" He nodded Grandma Li with his hand, "It's really a careless one." You don't think about the brothers of the three girls, and you still expect the third granduncle to pull a hand to help the Li family in the future, and you don't want to think about it in the long run. The two families got married, you gave the third girl a good job, and she went to her mother-in-law's house to stretch her waist. ”

After scolding a few words, Mrs. Li was helped back to the house by her subordinates, and she couldn't help but sulk again.

In the evening, Second Master Li returned home, saw the list of dowries sent by the Jiang family, and asked for the dowry list prepared by his own family. It is said that the Jiang family's dowry is heavy, although the number of lifts is not outstanding, but these things are all good, every satin, every set of heads, which is not good, a few grandmothers looked at it, and they were amazed.

The mother-in-law's dowry is generous, which shows that she likes this daughter-in-law and is also the face of the bride.

Summoned the people of the three rooms to reunite together, and discussed the matter of Li Biling's dowry, in the end, according to Mrs. Li's intentions, and then prepared four lifts, two lifts of cloth and satin, another lift of the house ornaments, and one lift for valuable food, such as ginseng, bird's nest, etc., busy for a while, make up for the four lifts, everyone still dare not look at the Jiang family's dowry list, this comparison, it still seems that the Li family is slightly thin.

As Li Er's grandmother said, there are eight shops and four granges, which add up to not bad.

Second Grandma Li complained again and again, married two daughters, and put all the savings she had saved in the past 20 years and the dowry given by her mother's family into it. This is not enough, even the old lady, the wife, and the aunt who married out of the house have added cages, which is barely enough for fifty-four lifts.
