Huifang rubbed her knees and smiled absently, and Second Mrs. Xu was still angry. asked him and his wife to salute their brothers and sisters-in-law, but Huifang helped the maid to give a full salute, and then gave a few nephews and nieces red envelopes.

Back in the room, Xu Rui was embarrassed to compensate Huifang. Huifang smiled indifferently, as if it hadn't happened. This generous and virtuous appearance made Xu Rui even more unable to get off the stage, but he didn't expect that the one who really couldn't get off the stage was still behind.

On the day he returned home, Dong Xiaoman had already sent a carriage over. When Second Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't help pouting in front of her daughters-in-law: "This is because I am afraid that our Xu family will detain the new daughter-in-law." ”

Dong Xiaoman has long known what the Xu family has done in the past few days, especially the behavior of the second lady Xu. not only went to the courtyard of the new daughter-in-law on the second day of the wedding to look at the dowry, but also wanted to occupy the dowry in front of everyone.

Huifang shirked the dowry and hadn't sorted it out, so Qingmei found an excuse to go to the Xiaoyao Pavilion to ask. After Dong Xiaoman listened to Qingmei's report, he was about to laugh.

When the "second aunt" made the rules on the morning of the second day of her wedding, in front of all the concubines, Huifang gave Mrs. Xu a soft knife.

"I haven't introduced some of them to you yet, this is Mama Zhao, my dowry. This is Qingmei, my big girl. This is Qingrui, this is Qingcao, and the two of them are my second-class. The four of them are my dowrymen. Huifang introduced with a smile, and sure enough, she saw a look of displeasure on the face of Second Mrs. Xu.

The sister-in-law Zhou on the side couldn't help but say sourly: "Oh, my brother and sister are really generous." There are only four marriages, which is more than the mother-in-law. ”

"You don't need so many people at all, and it's taking up space to put it away. Ming'er will go back to the door and send it home. Second Mrs. Xu said coldly.

"Send it back?" Huifang was surprised: "This is my dowry." How can there be a reason why a daughter doesn't want her mother's family to marry? ”

"Your family has sent so many people. I don't know how much it costs for a month. Hearing Second Mrs. Xu say this, Qingmei said, "Second Mrs., our wife said it." Our monthly money is given by the Zhao family, and we can't spend your Xu family's money horizontally and vertically. ”

As soon as she heard that it didn't cost money, Second Mrs. Xu immediately nodded: "That's good, this person will stay." After speaking, he smiled lovingly: "Yesterday you said that the dowry has not been sorted out, but today it has been sorted out?" ”

Mama Zhao on the side immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "If Mrs. Hui is concerned, we have sorted out the dowry of our young lady." It's exactly the same as the list given by our wife before we got married. Please rest assured, Madame. ”

Second Mrs. Xu nodded: "I see that there are quite a lot of boxes, and I'm afraid there are a lot of things." You are young and don't have a lot of money, so it's better for me to suffer more and take care of you. ”

Mama Zhao clasped her hands together and said with a smile: "Amitabha, I have lived such a long time. It's the first time I've seen such a charitable elder like you, and I think about the junior everywhere. It seems that our wife can be relieved, and our young lady will be hurt by the elders when she marries. ”

Second Mrs. Xu thought they agreed, nodded and smiled: "I like my daughter the most, I will treat her as my daughter when she marries." Since it's a mother and daughter, what else do you say about whether you're tired or not. Listen to it. ”

Mama Zhao nodded yes: "But let's just say it, if you want me to say that our wife has also thought of it." Told us before we went out. said that the second lady of the Xu family is the most virtuous and charitable person. If we want us to listen to your teachings, we can do it ourselves, and we will never trouble you. You see, this grass was specially prepared by our lady for the young lady, and she was born with a good head. The abacus is clanging, and it's amazing. ”

Second Mrs. Xu was faintly uneasy when she heard this: "As long as a girl can work, what are you going to do?" ”

Mama Zhao shook her head and said, "Madam said, our young lady is too charitable." She is alone in this long room, and she has to stand up by herself inside and outside the house, so that the second room will always help. So these three maids who marry are all powerful. This grass can be used as half of the account, not to mention that the current young lady's dowry is in her hands. It will be the host in the future, and it will also be the right hand of the young lady. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Mama Zhao was like she couldn't see Second Mrs. Xu's face. continued to show: "This Qingmei is the most calm and calm character. Let her give the young grandmother a house, that can't go wrong. There is also this grass, the craftsmanship of female red is unique in our Zhao Mansion. Our lady gave these three girls to the young lady as a dowry, but she really felt sorry for her. ”

After saying this, Second Lady Xu glared and sneered: "You keep saying that Mrs., Mrs. You are also surnamed Zhao, but this Huifang is surnamed Hua in the end. Why are all the girls married to the Zhao family? ”

Mama Zhao continued to laugh and said: "Madame doesn't know, the late Mrs. Tai's righteous son is our master. The old lady was grateful that the young lady had no father, no mother and no elders to take care of her, so she accepted the young lady as a daughter. This should also be shared for the dowry, and the old lady who shouldn't say anything about it is in the Zhao Mansion, so what else can't be done. ”

Zhou couldn't help but complain after listening to it for a long time: "Having said that, but now it has entered the door of our Xu family." Mama, you open and close your mouth, Miss and Mrs. are all reading that head. This is unreasonable, how can this Xu family live with servants with foreign surnames. ”

Only then did Huifang speak: "What my sister-in-law said is that Mama should change her words." ”

Mama Zhao defended in a low voice, although it was a low voice, it could also be heard by others: "The slave wants to be the servant of the Xu family, but the Xu family is not willing to accept us." ”

Zhou has always been shallow-eyed, and he didn't want to speak: "There are more girls in one room than in our two rooms, I don't want to think about what kind of algorithm this month is." You just entered the door and calculated, it's really a small door. ”

Mama Zhao pretended to be surprised: "Isn't our long house the only one?" The Xu family has been separated for many years, is it all rumored outside? After speaking, he replied to himself: "Yes, the second room lives on the side of the long room, I'm afraid the rumors are wrong." ”

Second Mrs. Xu couldn't help but burst into muscles, and scolded loudly: "Okay, what can you discuss about the master's affairs." There are really no rules, the second family just doesn't want to hand over the dowry, do you? ”

Huifang got up and asked ignorantly: "Please ask the second aunt to atone for her sins, it's really my nephew and daughter-in-law who are not sensible." First, my mother had already prepared a girl for me to take care of the dowry, and second, I didn't know that the dowry of the original married girl was handed over to the aunt to take care of. ”

Second Mrs. Xu looked back angrily: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to, forget it." ”

This contact made Xu Er realize that this new daughter-in-law is not easy to fiddle with, and at the same time, Huifang also saw that this Xu family was really messy.

Early in the morning on the day of returning, Dong Xiaoman personally led a girl to pick up her daughter with great pomp.

At this time, the whole Xu family finished breakfast and was gathering in the front hall to talk. Second Mrs. Xu chattered a lot, and then she heard a burst of gongs and drums outside.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask the next person if there was any happy event outside, he saw a girl walk in with an excited face and report: "Master, madam." Mrs. Zhao led people to beat gongs and drums outside, and came to our Xu family all the way, saying that she would personally pick up her daughter and return to the door. ”

The mother's family couldn't wait to pick up her daughter back to the door, and she was beating gongs and drums. What is this called? How can there be such an unruly family in the world, Second Mrs. Xu claims to be from a scholarly family, and she categorically looks down on her.

However, the second master Xu was very happy and asked the second lady Xu to take the female dependents to pick it up. Second Mrs. Xu flicked her sleeves and said with a cold face: "I have never heard such a truth, I'm afraid that the girl has never seen the world and heard it wrong." ”

Xu Rui's face was ugly, he looked at Huifang who looked aggrieved, and frowned: "That's it, I'll take a look." ”

As he was talking, he saw a group of people walking in from outside, and Xu Rui stood in the hall and could see that it was indeed Dong Xiaoman who appeared at the door.

hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and everyone in the room knew that this was Mrs. Xu's power. Except for Second Master Xu and Huifang, everyone had the attitude of watching the excitement, and they turned out to be alone who never went out to greet each other.

"Second master, second lady. It's my abruptness, it's my abruptness. As soon as he entered the door, Dong Xiaoman apologized with a smile, and said vigorously: "Today is the third dynasty to return to the door, and I haven't slept well all night." After all, my daughter was married from me, and I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. That's why I rushed over early in the morning to pick her up, and you must not laugh at me. ”

Second Mrs. Xu faked a smile: "Huifang is a blessed person, with such a loving godmother as you." "The two words of godmother in the back are gritting your teeth, and the implication is that you Dong Xiaoman is redundant.

"Oh, it's not because these two kids are pitiful. This Huifang has no parents-in-law's father, and my godmother took my hand and told me thousands of instructions before leaving. Do you think I can't be careful? Besides, Brother Rui, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away. No matter how much you care, you are also an uncle and aunt, and there is still a big mess in your own family, how can you take care of them everywhere. As for me, I'm an idler, so I'll suffer a lot, so let's help out. ”

Dong Xiaoman changed his light personality in the past, and turned into a chattering mouth, talking endlessly. The more he talked about the people in the second room, the more ugly his face became, and he took Huifang's hand and smiled after talking for a long time.

"Look at how much your second uncle and second aunt love you. I came here so early in the morning to tell you, in the future, you must know the number of etiquette, learn more from the concubine, and be filial to the elders. Dong Xiaoman squeezed his eyes at Huifang, and Huifang nodded knowingly: "Yes, the second uncle and aunt love us very much." I stayed in the long room for the past two days, and the second aunt said that she would help me take care of the dowry. Mother, do you say that the second aunt loves me very much? ”

Only a few women in the Xu family know about this, and the second Mrs. Xu and Xu Rui don't know about it. When I first heard this, my face changed......

"Silly boy, your second aunt is testing you. Let's see if you're a person with an idea, no matter what, you're also the mother of the long house. If you can't even take care of the dowry, let alone host the middle feed? Dong Xiaoman seemed to be unintentional, and he saved Xu Er's face.

"It's getting late, you two go back with me. Your father still has a bunch of friends waiting, and your younger brothers and sisters are up early in the morning looking forward to it......" Dong Xiaoman looked at the sky, turned his head to Xu Rui and smiled...... (To be continued......)
