Not only did Mrs. Yang not understand Shu Manyao's words, but Yang Jianbai was puzzled. Shu Manyao was not in a hurry, and only looked at Aunt Yang with a smile: "Although I have only been married to Jianbai for more than two months, I also know that Jianbai is a very filial person, and I attach great importance to the things left by my mother-in-law. ”

Yang Jianbai raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Shu Manyao - haven't all the things of my mother been handed over to you? When he first proposed, he had already said that all his Yang Jianbai's property belonged to Shu Manyao, and after getting married, there were two keys to the treasury, one was on himself, and the other was on Shu Manyao, and the dowry of his mother's relatives was also placed in the warehouse.

Shu Manyao secretly glanced at him and signaled him not to speak, Yang Jianbai only made a serious appearance and didn't move. Even Old Lady Yang's gaze swept over him several times, and he only bowed his head and was not born.

Old Lady Yang nodded reluctantly: "I know, Jianbai has always been a filial person. ”

"But in my mother-in-law's dowry, there were a few particularly important things, and although Jianbai was young at the time, he also remembered that his mother-in-law valued those things very much back then." Shu Manyao rubbed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and his eyes were red: "But now, the things are gone, when Jianbai wipes the things used by his mother-in-law every day, when he thinks of those things, he feels uncomfortable, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Second Aunt Yang's face was slightly pale, and Mrs. Yang didn't speak anymore, no one knew better than them where Yang Jianbai's biological mother's things were.

"Jianbai and I are husband and wife, if he is unhappy, I have to find a way to make him happy, this is the way to be a wife, grandmother, do you say?" Shu Manyao asked with a smile, Old Lady Yang nodded silently, and Shu Manyao continued: "So I just thought about using my dowry to exchange my mother-in-law's few things." I also know that the second aunt said that the family was hard, so she appropriated some of it. But now that the Yang family has the money to build a house, the hard days of thinking about it have passed. ”

Second Aunt Yang opened her mouth to speak, Shu Manyao sighed and interrupted her: "My dowry, anyway, it is in vain, if my grandmother and second aunt need it, even if it is used, it is just my mother-in-law's dowry, that is a little thought of Jianbai, grandmother, you also said, Jianbai is the most filial one, so, what my mother-in-law left, please grandmother and second aunt try to find out, Jianbai is happy, my dowry is not taken out in vain, is it?" ”

Mrs. Yang didn't speak, Shu Manyao continued: "This is the first condition, the second condition, that is, we have to sign a paperwork, I'm not afraid that my grandmother and second aunt won't pay it back after borrowing it, can I still not know the character of my grandmother and second aunt?" ”

What he said would have been quite decent if he hadn't asked for Yang Jianbai's biological mother's dowry earlier, but with the previous words, it would sound like irony.

Old Mrs. Yang's face turned blue and pale, not to mention Second Mrs. Yang, but the latter was thick-skinned, and she covered it up in an instant: "What Man Yao said is right, me and your grandmother, that is not an outsider, and besides, it is your elder, how can it be that you borrow it and not pay it back?" So I said, this document or something, you don't need to write it, we are a family in the end, writing this thing, it's too much to see the outside, and it's too embarrassing to spread it, Jianbai said, don't you? ”

Yang Jianbai coughed lightly: "I think what Man Yao said is very right, they all say that their brothers settle accounts, and this is Man Yao's dowry, so it should be more careful." Besides, if you write a document, it won't be ashamed if this matter gets out, but if there is nothing, if this thing gets out, let alone the reputation of the Yang family, even the Shu family will not give up. ”

The dowry of other people's daughters appeared in the Yang family for no reason, who can give up this matter? Of course, there are also some people who don't care about this face.

"I believe in the character of my grandmother and second aunt, but it is precisely because I believe in the character of my grandmother and second aunt that this document has to be written." Yang Jianbai was very sincere, with a straight face: "I am also thinking about my grandmother and second aunt, if there is anything offensive, please don't be surprised by my grandmother and second aunt." ”

Mrs. Yang's face turned red with anger, and Aunt Yang wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. After being silent for a long time, the old lady said: "Let's talk about this matter later, there is another matter, I originally wanted to wait for the matter to be determined before I tell you, but now I see, it doesn't hurt to say it earlier, anyway, it's a happy event, say it, and let you husband and wife follow suit." ”

Yang Jianbai and Shu Manyao didn't speak, and the old lady paused and said: "You also know that Cui Ying went to the palace for the draft, and now I have asked someone for news, Cui Ying happened to meet the emperor in the imperial garden, and the emperor already planned to leave people in the palace, and after the draft, he will be canonized." ”

Shu Manyao smiled: "This is really good news, and it is not in vain that my grandmother and second aunt are planning for Sister Cuiying." ”

Referring to this daughter who is about to become a mother, Aunt Yang is anger in her heart, and most of it is scattered at this time, and she said with a smile: "The saint can take a fancy to her, and it is also her blessing, speaking of which, when Cuiying was a child, I felt that she was born well, born in February, the dragon raised her head, I didn't expect that over the years, she could serve the emperor, but it is really a blessing that our Yang family has cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Old Mrs. Yang's face was also soothed, and she looked at Yang Jianbai and said: "After the draft, Cui Ying is going to enter the palace as a mother, and the life in this harem is very difficult, especially in this harem, there are still queens and concubines and others, as well as a few princes, it is not easy for Cui Ying to come out, but Cui Ying has been smart since she was a child, so we don't have to worry about her, just prepare things for her." ”

Yang Jianbai looked at Shu Manyao, Shu Manyao pursed her lips, she had thought about this matter before, look, Mrs. Yang really brought it up, right? Speaking of which, there is also a Shu Manjin Shu Manyu in his own family who also entered the palace, according to the rules, either two people lose the election together, or one person loses. But Shu Manjin tried his best, and he definitely wouldn't go home in disgrace. And although Shu Manyu is not stupid, compared with Shu Manjin, he is a little less scheming, and he may be used by Shu Manjin.

Therefore, the possibility of Shu Manjin being selected is also ten*. Well, in fact, there is already accurate news, Shu Manjin was also selected this time.

I don't know what my grandmother will prepare for Shu Manjin.

"If Niangniang gives birth to a prince in the future, then our Yang family is the prince's foreign family, this is a good opportunity for our Yang family to recover, that is, Niangniang did not give birth to a prince, as long as Niangniang will be favored in the future, say a few good words for our Yang family in front of the emperor, and the benefits of the Yang family are also inexhaustible." Mrs. Yang said, as if she saw the beautiful haode foreground, and the smile on her face blossomed.

"Although you have separated from each other, you are also the Yang family, and you are afraid that your mother will not worry about you in the future? Even if the mother only says one word to you, it will be a lot of benefits. Mrs. Yang looked at Shu Manyao's eyes very lovingly, but Shu Manyao herself felt a little like she was looking at a fool.

Yang Jianbai coughed lightly, interrupting the old lady's beautiful thoughts: "Grandmother, it's too early to say this now, the emperor's decree hasn't come down yet, if the name of our own ancestor is spread out, it will be a crime of contempt for the heavenly family, and in a serious case, it may be a rebellion, this is to raid the family and exterminate the family." ”

"It's all ironclad, what's so uncertain?" Old Mrs. Yang frowned and said, but after listening to Yang Jianbai's words, she changed her name: "You are Cui Ying's cousin, Cui Ying is very good with you on weekdays, if Cui Ying is out, can she forget you?" So, Cui Ying entered the palace, how much do you have to express it? In the harem, if Cui Ying doesn't have something in her hands, how can she survive? ”

Second Aunt Yang was afraid that Yang Jianbai and his wife would be too dull, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "I am Cui Ying's mother, and I am very reluctant to let Cui Ying enter the palace to suffer, but although I am in charge of the Yang family, I don't have much silver on hand, so I can only sell my dowry and prepare some silver tickets for Cui Ying to bring into the palace. ”

The old lady nodded, with a serious face: "Jianbai, do you think you should also prepare something for Cuiying?" ”

Yang Jianbai hesitated for a long time: "Grandmother, how much should I prepare?" ”

"Ten thousand taels!" Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Second Aunt Yang shouted first, the old lady glared at her, coughed lightly, and looked at Yang Jianbai: "How much silver do you have on hand?" ”

Yang Jianbai sighed, untied his purse, took out a piece of paper from his purse and handed it to the old lady. The old lady looked at it twice and jumped up directly from the bed: "You really borrowed 30,000 taels of silver?" ”

Shu Manyao lowered her head and didn't speak, she didn't believe it, this dead old woman didn't send anyone to investigate in private, but it was probably because Yang Jianbai borrowed Qi Chengchen's silver, so the old lady thought that the couple was fooling her, but she didn't believe it at all, right?

However, now she can't be allowed not to believe it, the IOU, but the official seal can't be fake.

Yang Jianbai nodded: "Didn't Man Yao tell you before?" This IOU was written a month ago, and Man Yao wanted to open a spice shop at that time, but who would have thought ...... So, this money is in vain, grandmother, second aunt, I still thought, if you have money on hand, you will help me first, I will pay Achen here first, after all, no matter how good the relationship between me and Achen is, it is also two families, Achen's surname is Qi, and my surname is Yang. And my grandmother and second aunt are different, we are a family, even if it is not three or five years, my grandmother and second aunt will definitely not urge me. ”

As he spoke, Yang Jianbai had some expectation in his eyes: "Otherwise, my grandmother and second aunt will give me half of the silver prepared for Sister Cui Ying?" When I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely not treat Sister Cuiying badly. ”

Stretching out two fingers, Yang Jianbai promised: "I will give double to Sister Cuiying when the time comes." After a pause, he turned two fingers into three: "No, three times!" Never break your word. ”
