Cheng Ruiru's words caused everyone to laugh, Yanran's face turned even redder, and she wanted to greet the neighbors around her, but when she heard this laughter, she pushed open the door and walked into her house quickly. When the door closed, I heard another commotion outside, "Shy, so shy!" Cheng Ruiru was full of smiles, and Tuan Tuan looked around: "Today, it's ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was patted by Aunt Zheng San: "Go, it's not your turn to speak!" Cheng Ruiru hurriedly gave Aunt Zheng San: "Yes, what my mother-in-law said is true!" Aunt Zheng couldn't hide her joy: "Today, I should have held a few tables of wine, but you also know that my daughter will be out of the cabinet in a few months." Therefore, I don't do wine anymore, and when the time comes, the rankings are still busy, and I don't stay more, please bear with me! ”

The neighbors just came to have fun, and naturally they made fun of each other and dispersed. Cheng Ruiru was beaming with joy, and was about to enter Zheng's house, when he raised his eyes and saw that there was a person standing next to him and did not leave, he smiled after a closer look: "Xiaorong, why are you free today?" ”

Rong Qi swallowed all kinds of sourness in his heart, and smiled at Cheng Ruiru: "Today is the happy day of Brother Cheng's marriage, why don't I come?" Cheng Ruiru patted his forehead and smiled: "Yes, yes, how did I forget, hey, mother-in-law......"

Cheng Ruiru is a mother-in-law, and Aunt Zheng is very happy, but it makes Rong Qi's heart feel like being cut by a knife, but no one else can be blamed for this, only herself. Rong Qi said hello to Aunt Zheng who came over. Aunt Zheng San already likes Rong Qi, and at this moment, she is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, she only hates that there are fewer girls in her daughters, and she can't recruit Rong Qi as a son-in-law, otherwise, if these two children are their sons-in-law, it will be called the glory of the first share.

Aunt Zheng smiled and said to Rong Qi: "Little Brother Rong is also here, you are not an outsider, hurry up and go in and sit!" Rong Qi nodded, and gave his hand to Uncle Zheng on the side, Uncle Zheng's smile has not changed today, and when he saw Rong Qi saluting himself, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Oh, if it weren't for the identity restrictions, I really want to ......."

Uncle Zheng smiled as he spoke, and before he finished speaking, Aunt Zheng glanced at her man: "Come on, you came out today and you're old, why don't you hurry in?" Third Uncle Zheng obeyed the order, got in the car and asked the coachman to take the car to the Hou Mansion, and he also went to the master of the Hou Mansion.

Cheng Ruiru had already pulled Rong Qi into the door with a smile: "Xiaorong, you, everything is good, it's just not good, it's too formal." Although this is my mother-in-law's house, you are also an acquaintance, what are you doing standing outside like a guest? ”

Aunt Zheng had already asked the little girl to pour tea and serve snacks, and nodded after hearing Cheng Ruiru's words: "That's right!" Hey, Brother Rong, if you don't dislike it, wait for me to find one for you, my mother's side is a small family, I'm afraid you won't look down on it. Here, there are mostly maids. It's ......."

These words made Rong Qi's heart more and more sour, he took the tea handed by the maid, and tried to keep the smile on his face unchanged: "Thank you, auntie." My marriage, my uncle said, "

"If you say something that Brother Rong will be annoyed, what about your uncle, I want to climb a high family for you, but how can this high family climb so easily?" Although Rong Qi's uncle had many concubines in his room and gave birth to a son, he died before he was raised, and now he has only one daughter by his side. Rong Qi's uncle planned to let his daughter recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business, but he was afraid that his daughter would not have a brother or a younger brother to help him, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he would be bullied by his son-in-law. Therefore, he also took a few nephews to keep by his side, so that he could be an arm for his daughter and son-in-law in the future.

It's just that in this way, Rong Qi's uncle has to use and guard against these nephews, and the situation of these people is not particularly good. Especially in marriage, those who have already married are stumbling. Rong Qi has been back in Beijing for many years, although she doesn't say this, but Aunt Zheng San's words and expressions, how can she not see Rong Qi's real situation?

Hearing Aunt Zheng tell the truth at this moment, Rong Qi couldn't help but smile lightly, and then said: "A man's family, you must start a business first and then start a family, otherwise, if the daughter of someone else's family is pampered and marries me, do you want her to suffer with me?" ”

This sentence made Aunt Zheng sigh: "Hey, Brother Rong, you are really a good person, I, I only hate girls less!" ”

"What my mother-in-law said is, otherwise, our friend will be a brother-in-law again, which is called a good story!" Cheng Ruiru is very happy today, naturally Aunt Zheng is good for everything. Aunt Zheng sneered and laughed: "Yes, I have known you for so many years, I never knew that your mouth could be smeared with honey like this!" ”

"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law's mouth is not smeared with honey, it is like this!" Cheng Ruiru shouted again, Rong Qi couldn't help but look up at the inner room, through the curtain embroidered with orchids, behind it should be his sweetheart. But soon, I couldn't think about her. She is the wife of her brother-in-law, her sister-in-law, and the person she can never covet or miss. Forget, should forget, but to smile and wish them a long time, love and white-headed!

Yan Ran listened to the laughter outside, and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, all of this seemed to be out of reach, but now it was at her own hand, and she could touch it with her tentacles. Yan Ran looked at the things stuffed under the bed on the table in the cabinet, many of which were dowries prepared by her mother, from a very young age.

"Hey, they're all gone, why don't you go out and sit in the yard, so you can stay in the house for a day?" Aunt Zheng lifted the curtain and looked at her daughter with a smile.

Yanran walked up to her mother, hugged her arm and snuggled up: "Mother, I'm not dreaming now, am I?" ”

"You child, what are you dreaming? You came out, and after that, you won't go in again. Moreover, they are about to get married. It is to sit in a sedan chair, and the big red shirt blows and blows and beats the serious way out of the cabinet to be a decent lady, not to be accepted by others, nor to be a concubine! ”

Saying that, Aunt Zheng pointed to those things: "Look, these dowries will also follow you." When the time comes, it's pomp! ”

"Mother, I don't want those pomp, I just think, that's fine!" Yanran leaned on her mother's shoulder, and the smile on her lips remained unchanged, which made Aunt Zheng's voice softer: "My son, what are you talking about, you are married to a rich family as a housewife, so naturally you have to be as pomp and circumstance as possible, otherwise how can you hold those people?" ”

Saying that, Aunt Zheng pulled her daughter to sit down and pointed out these things one by one, in addition to those rewarded by the master's family, as well as those left by Yanran's grandmother, as well as what Aunt Zheng had saved since her daughter was very young, seven, seven, eighty, and eight together, there are seven or eight sets of jewelry alone, pearls, gemstones, gold and silver. There are only two boxes of good material, silk and silk. Aunt Zheng pulled out a small box again, which was full of newly minted ingots, the big ones were fifty taels, and the small ones were ten taels and five taels.

After counting, there are ten large ingots, twenty small ingots of ten taels, and thirty of five taels, a total of eight hundred and fifty taels, all of which are pressed by Yanran. Looking at this piece of silver light, Yan Ran couldn't help but take a breath: "Mother, these, inevitably ......"

"Don't you think it's too little? Your father and I will marry this daughter this time in this life, if it weren't for the fear of people saying, your father would have made up 2,000 taels for you! Aunt Zheng interrupted her daughter's words, and Yan Ran hurriedly shook her head: "Mother, I'm not too little, it's too much, after all, we are just subordinates!" ”

"So that's all. But your father prepared a small village for you, not big, 200 acres of land, the rare thing is that the water is good, and then you can grow whatever you want to eat! Seeing that Aunt Zheng was going to rummage through the cabinets again, Yanran hurriedly stopped: "Mother, I'm not the only one in the family. ”

"Are you worried about your brother and brother, Yanran, I'll tell you the truth, your brother you know, what about your brother, although he is not on the roster now, but who knows in the future, if he is not released, it is not the Zheng family's little servant, and our things are left to him, but they are only given for free, it is better to give them all to you!" Seeing that her mother was sad, Yanran hurriedly reached out and hugged her shoulder: "Mother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that!" ”

"Silly girl, my mother is just telling the truth, not sad!" Aunt Zheng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and touched her daughter's face: "My daughter can marry in a beautiful way, I'm happier than anything else!" ”

Mother, Yanran screamed again and hugged her shoulders tightly. Aunt Zheng put her daughter's forehead on her daughter, there are some things, don't think about two if you have one.

Uncle Zheng, who was by the door, heard the conversation coming from inside, and his footsteps stopped, perhaps, for the sake of the future, his daughter's child, the idea went out. To be a big housekeeper in the Hou Mansion, the scenery is the scenery, but that slave word can't get rid of it.

"Are you blaming me?" When Old Man Zheng heard Uncle Zheng's words, his brows couldn't help frowning, his granddaughter was going to get married, and he was married so well, Old Man Zheng also entered the city from the countryside, first he always had to kowtow to the old masters during the New Year, and second, after the New Year, Yanran wanted to go to Zhuangzi in Zheng's hometown to be married, and by the way, he took his granddaughter away. Who knew that not long after Old Man Zheng came in, his son said such a thing.

"Dad, my son doesn't dare to blame Dad, it's just Dad, Yanran is married so well now, she can't compare to a few aunts, but she is just marrying in such a small family, if one day, your grandchildren are famous, others ask, what kind of family is your grandfather's family, do you want them to say that it is a subordinate of a certain Hou Mansion who is in charge?" Uncle Zheng was in a hurry to distinguish.

"You are still blaming me, you had two brothers at the beginning, but they were both outside, and now in the countryside, they also make slaves and maids wear gold and silver, and even your niece is married very well! Only you, only you, are the next person in the Hou Mansion! Old Man Zheng's tone was sad.

Uncle Zheng San had already cried: "Dad, my son really doesn't blame you, my son knows that this is my son's life, but my son is unwilling, let your grandson, your great-grandson, continue like this!" Dad, the son knows, let the son go into the house to serve, so as to keep the scenery of the brothers outside. But Dad, my son is not alone anymore! ”
