In mid-April, after many preparations, Guo Shao left Tokyo with his group and went to the Daimyo's Mansion again; It's only been two months since the last trip to Hebei. The many etiquettes and preparations really made him feel very tired, and the cost was even greater, but fortunately, Second Sister Fu was worth it.

Marrying the second sister of Fu and marrying the Fu family is also one of Guo Shao's long-term plans under the queen's layout. It has been implemented since the attack on Shu the year before last, and now it is close to success after countless efforts, and Guo Shao is certainly not too troublesome in the final process.

The second sister Fu, who is as beautiful as the queen, and the substantial status improvement brought about by the marriage, all of which allowed Guo Shao to overcome complicated chores and rushes and maintain his motivation.

……

Fu Yanqing originally had seven sons, but only the eldest son, Zhaoxu, was an adult. The second son died two years ago, and the third, the eleven.

Now the people who can govern their family are discussing the dowry of Fu Ermei in the inner house, mainly because Fu Yanqing's father and son decide. Because his Yuan mate and the biological mother of the Fu sisters, Mrs. Zhang, has passed away, and Mrs. Xu Xianxiang is only called an aunt (the mother's nominal sister) by her children, and she is usually kind to others and does not have much opinion.

However, the eldest son Zhaoxu's wife, Zhang, because she is the uncle of the Fu family, can still say a few words.

"Uncle (father-in-law) is better to the second sister than to the son." Fu Yanqing's daughter-in-law Zhang muttered, and there was obviously a sour feeling of envy, jealousy and hatred in her tone.

I saw that in this tight room with a small window, there were several large boxes, which were full of treasures, one of which was full of gold and jade jewelry, which if all of them were worn on Fu Ermei, it was estimated that it would be heavier than the heaviest armor, and I am afraid that she would not be able to walk.

Fu Yanqing also took out two land deeds, one is a plastered cultivated land in the south of Tokyo, with 3,000 acres of farmland. The other is the mansion in the southeast of the inner city of Tokyo, which is where Guo Shao lives now, and the queen did not give the title deed back then, because it was the property of the Fu family, and the title deed was not in the hands of the queen.

Fu Yanqing had more wrinkles and age spots on her face, but she was not old and confused, and when she heard her daughter-in-law's words, she said categorically: "The old man marries a daughter, can he still be stingy and embarrassed?" ”

The eldest son Zhaoxu and his third brother have similar personalities, they are more loyal, more brave and courageous, and they also support their father at the moment: "The more dowry my sister has, the more status she has in her husband's family!" Hmph, my sister can't be bullied...... By the way, a few months ago, the Daimyo's Mansion collected some toll money, didn't it cast a box of gold and silver, and my father might as well give the box to the second sister. ”

When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help muttering: "I heard that Brother Shao'er has made great achievements, but he only started the year before last and has no money to spare. It's good now, it's all dependent on my father-in-law's family to get by. Even the place where he lives is the Fu family's house, and now he marries a wife, not to mention, and because of this, he will turn over at once, so much family wealth is enough for him to enjoy the glory and wealth. ”

She thought for a moment and said softly: "No wonder he ran back and forth twice in person, and he was so happy. ”

Although Zhang's words were a little stingy, Zhaoxu listened to them and listened to them, and to him, he was praising the Fu family's generosity; Zhaoxu always thinks about the good of other people's words.

He smiled and said: "These things are not given to the Guo family, when the dowry is used to accompany the dowry, in the final analysis, it is still in the hands of my second sister." When you married into the Fu family, I will pass you a private article on the things you married? Everyone is a face-saving person, how embarrassed to casually touch the property of his mother's marriage. Hehe, the people of Brother Shao'er's family, if you want to use money, you have to ask my second sister to nod, who dares not to take her in their eyes? ”

Fu Yanqing said very little, but he understood in his heart: no matter whether the children were born to him, they all had to inherit something, and the dowry was really to give his daughter some family property in the name of inheritance. Besides, Fu Yanqing loves her daughter a little more, her three daughters are really cute, and their temperaments are not bad. Of course, he is extraordinarily generous to his pampered children.

The daughter can't be given an official position because of the official position of King Wei, and after leaving the house, there will be no income, and if she depends on her husband's family to support her, she has to look at people's faces. Fu Yanqing has lived a lifetime, and he doesn't believe in many things, he only believes in realistic things.

He said casually: "The second sister is not like the eldest daughter, she is much weaker. That's it. But not mentioning the tax savings, Fu Yanqing also lived a drunken life by himself, and the expenses were very large.

After hearing this, Zhang said again: "The eldest sister is the queen, and the second sister is naturally a little worse than the second sister." The woman seems to be tempted to compare people she knows.

At this moment, the second sister Fu and the sixth sister outside the door walked in. Seeing this, Zhang was a little caught off guard, his face was ugly for a while, and he was busy talking.

Second Sister Fu should have heard her father's words, and her crooked smiling eyes couldn't hide her sadness, and she seemed to be very moved, and when she came up to salute, her watery and clear eyes almost burst into tears.

The eldest brother Zhaoxu glanced at his sister's Mo Xiang'er, his expression also changed, and he sighed: "It's really cheap, Brother Shao'er's kid." ”

Seeing his sister's appearance, the sixth child shouted: "The second sister is going to be a bride, why is she unhappy with a face?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and Second Sister Fu said angrily: "I'm really worried about you, you are fourteen years old, and you are so stupid." ”

Their aunt, Mrs. Xiang, is also a beauty, and it was inconvenient to speak just now, when the sixth child came in, and immediately taught her: "Those married little mothers, they still have to cry and cry temporarily, because they are reluctant to be their parents, your second sister is okay, she didn't cry." ”

It's no wonder that Fu Er, she is so old and embarrassed to cry in front of her father, and Mrs. Xiang is not her mother...... When Mrs. Zhang did not pass away, she actually had a bad relationship with her daughters, because Mrs. Zhang was a very old-fashioned and stern woman, after the defeat of Li Shouzhen's father and son, Fu (Queen) was forced by Mrs. Zhang to either die or become a monk when she returned to her parents' home, but fortunately, Fu Da was also very tough and did not listen.

After hearing this, the sixth child nodded and said, "I thought the second sister was reluctant to give me." But she shouldn't be, she used to be the best with her eldest sister, I'm afraid I wish I could go to Tokyo as soon as possible to be with my eldest sister...... I should have cried, now I'm alone at home. ”

After saying that, he wanted to hug Fu Er, but was pushed away by the second sister, and the sixth child suddenly stood there aggrieved and looked like he wanted to cry without tears.

At this time, Fu Yanqing suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Fu Er: "The queen's letter." This one is in an envelope, and it says that you will open it in person, and the father will not touch your sister's letter. ”

Second Sister Fu took it with both hands, and said quietly: "I don't have anything important to say to my eldest sister, it's all trivial. ”

Fu Yanqing nodded, but seeing Fu Ermei's expression, he had the illusion that Fu Er had finally grown up a little overnight and was no longer as playful as before.

"Sister, can you show me too?" The sixth child posted it again, she never holds grudges.

Fu Er ignored her, walked to the side and opened the envelope and looked at it. The reply was only a piece of paper and a few lines...... She wrote eight letters to the queen. In the letter, the queen directly responded to Fu Er's interesting story about the Shangyuan Festival: Brother Shao knew me a few years ago, and they have met in the past two years.

At this time, the second sister Fu immediately woke up, so Guo Shao must have recognized it at the first sight!

At this moment, Mrs. Xiang persuaded her aunt: "The sixth child's words are right, the queen is in Tokyo, and after the second sister passes the door, there is still someone to take care of in Tokyo; What's more, you and the queen used to be tired of being together all day long, and the relationship was so good. Just stop being sad. ”

Fu Er swept through the few paragraphs on the letter at a glance and put away the paper. She raised her head, her face reflected the sunlight outside the door, and she looked a little sad, and said softly: "I learned that I would go to Tokyo, and I was quite worried about it for the past two months...... The eldest sister also wanted to see her earlier. But when it came to the end, I was a little scared in my heart, and I suddenly wanted to leave my father, brother, and family, but I didn't know what the future would be, and whether the people of Tokyo would get along well or not. ”

Fu Yanqing sighed when she heard this: "The eldest woman should get married, you have been delayed until now, what are you doing for your father?" You have also seen Brother Shao, and you have picked it out; If you are born in another family, you can only know what your husband will be like until you get married. What's the point of your cranky thinking now? ”

Mrs. Xiang whispered again: "Brother Shao'er's parents passed away early, although the second sister couldn't fulfill her filial piety in the past, but no one took care of it, who is older than you in the Guo family?" ”

Second Sister Fu was not a person who was really sad and sad, but when she heard Mrs. Xiang's reminder, she immediately felt reasonable. She didn't say anything, but her heart suddenly relaxed...... It's not filial to say it, but it's really like that; If the Guo family's in-laws are here, after all, they are elders who have never met, and how many feelings are forced by etiquette, it is really difficult to get along.

She thought of Brother Shao again, although she pretended to tease herself in the matter of "dancing girl identity", she was not a strict person, and it was impossible to say who would bully whom at that time. Thinking of this, Second Sister Fu's mood gradually became happy.

…… Within two days, Mrs. Gao and the people sent by the Guo Mansion came forward to give the dowry. Originally, the Guo family's family should have come forward, but Guo Shao did not have his parents and brothers by his side, so he sent Zuo You to socialize.

When the gift list was sent in and more than a dozen boxes were carried to Weiwang's Mansion, Fu Yanqing and the other family came to see it, and they were all stunned.

Boxes of fine silk fabrics (silk can replace currency transactions to a certain extent since the Tang Dynasty), new boxes of copper coins, and various gold and silver utensils, jewelry. This gift is even more generous than the dowry of the family.

Fu Yanqing's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, saw a dazzling array of treasures, as many as eighteen large boxes! Stunned.

It's hard for others to say, but her husband Zhaoxu said in a joking tone: "Two days ago, you said that Brother Shao'er relied on our family to live, look at these things." ”

Zhang was stunned and her face was very embarrassed, she wanted to say that the Fu family didn't have so much courtesy to marry her, but thinking that her mother's dowry was also limited, she couldn't talk back. She had no choice but to mutter: "Where did Brother Shao'er get so much money?" ”

Zhaoxu blurted out: "It stands to reason that the Guo family's little money can't get so much money, is it borrowing money in Tokyo?" ”

Second Sister Fu listened to it, and her face was gloomy for a while. The eldest brother Zhaoxu turned his head to her again and said, "It can be seen that Brother Shao'er is still very kind to the second sister, so he can't do it if he is willing to go bankrupt?" ”

At this time, Fu Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: "The dowry still has to be changed, and the box of ingots mentioned by Zhao Xu should also be added." ”
