At the same time, Xi'er had already trotted back to Zhao Wan'er's boudoir, and still said breathlessly: "Miss, Miss, something is wrong." ”

Zhao Wan'er turned her head, saw her panting, and instructed Liu Sijun to pour her a glass of water. Shaking his head helplessly, he said, "Xi'er, what's wrong?" ”

Xi'er drank the glass of water in one gulp, and then calmed down a little, and told Zhao Wan'er what had just happened.

Liu Sijun was also listening to the sudden change of color, he didn't expect his uncle to offend the Chen family, how can this be good?

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Wan'er listened, she continued to pick up the account book and flip through it as if nothing had happened, as if the things in front of her had not happened.

Suddenly Xi'er was dumbfounded, "Miss, aren't you worried?" ”

Zhao Wan'er smiled indifferently: "What are you worried about?" Do you think your master will be so easily threatened by others? "What's more, it's not simple behind this marriage, not to mention a mere Chen family master, even if Xu Xiuping, the governor of Xining, comes, don't want his father to withdraw from the marriage.

After all, Xi'er has lived in the Zhao Mansion for a long time, and she knows the master very well, and when she heard the young lady say this, she put her mind at ease, "Hehe, the slave has forgotten about this stubble." Well, in this case, my uncle will definitely be safe and sound. No, I'll have to check it out again. ”

With that, Xi'er staggered out of the room again. Liu Sijun also felt itchy when he saw this, and his face showed a look of yearning.

Zhao Wan'er glanced at her funny, waved her hand, and said, "Xiao Jun'er, I don't need you to serve here, if you want to see it, go quickly." Otherwise, it will be too late, and you won't be able to see anything. ”

"Yikes!" Liu Sijun was seen through by Miss, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, then ...... you here?" ”

Zhao Wan'er said: "I'm fine, just check the account book, you can't help here." ”

"The slave maid will fill you with tea."

……

Li Haobang looked at everything in front of him with resentment, he didn't expect that the poor scholar would be so lucky, and even the threat of Chen Wenxuan, the old fox of the Chen family, would not work. It seems that it is impossible to stop this levy today, so the only way to do this is to make him more embarrassed and let Wan'er not marry him so soon. After Xu Zhizhou's plan is launched, maybe things will take a turn for the better.

I can't help Li Haobang not care about this, you must know that once Su Ziheng and Zhao Wan'er get married quickly, and the two give birth to a son, it will be difficult to seize the Zhao family's property at that time. Maybe after years of painstaking planning, it will turn into water.

For his cousin Zhao Wan'er, Li Haobang really admires it. knew that if she had her own flesh and blood, she would definitely make more plans for him, and when she didn't talk about eating meat, she would definitely not even be able to drink soup.

"Bring the box in."

Su Ziheng turned around and instructed the family members who were carrying the boxes in the back, and asked them to bring in the dowry gifts they had prepared before. With the shout of the housekeeper Zhao Fu, more than sixty strong family members rushed in carrying boxes of gifts.

Every time the family members carried into a box, the housekeeper Zhao Fu sang and said on the side: "Sufu Zhegongzi sent two Xuanqi, two sheep, and a pair of live geese......"

Li Haobang listened to the housekeeper Zhao Fu's singing and couldn't help pouting: "Hey, even the gift of accepting the levy has to be prepared by the Zhao Mansion, but he doesn't give a dowry gift, is this preparing to join the family?" ”

Although when Zhao Chengwen and Su Ziheng were discussing marriage, they also said that if necessary, they could take the matter of adding money to it, but this was to deal with Xu Xiuping. If it is not necessary, Su Ziheng is still unwilling to pick the matter of entering the rich too clearly, after all, it is not a good reputation.

"Huh", everyone's eyes shifted to Li Haobang and Su Ziheng, and they looked at them with suspicious eyes, wondering if what Li Haobang said just now was true or false?

There are a total of 30 kinds of gifts, although there are some valuable things, but most of them are still very cheap, such as sake, liquor, japonica rice, millet rice, pampas reed, curly cypress and so on. The actual cost is estimated to be no more than 100 taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver is a lot for an ordinary family, but for the Zhao Mansion, it is a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning. Su Ziheng actually didn't have a hundred taels of silver now, but he felt that the engagement was not mentioned by himself, so why did he have to pay these dowry gifts by himself?

In addition, there is another reason, that is, these thirty gifts are quite troublesome to procure, if it is Su Ziheng alone, I don't know how much time it will take, so it is better to let the Zhao Mansion prepare in advance.

Su Ziheng turned his head and looked at Li Haobang, he had seen him when he was in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, and knew that he had a close relationship with Xu Bohan. I suddenly understood in my heart that he must have been uneasy and kind when he suddenly said this sentence just now.

Su Ziheng looked at him with deep eyes, and seeing that he was unmoved, he still looked at himself with a smile. Su Ziheng suddenly grinned, revealing eight brilliant teeth, which made Li Haobang's eyes flash.

"Do you want to see the dowry I gave to Miss Wan'er?"

Li Haobang's heart was sudden, he didn't expect Su Ziheng's mental quality to be so good, he was exposed by himself, and he still didn't care. Or is there really anything that the poor scholar doesn't know?

"Heh......" Li Haobang chuckled, he seemed to be thinking a little too much. Since learning that Zhao Wan'er's husband is Su Zhe, not only did he investigate him, but Xu Bohan also got his detailed life information.

It can even be said that many of the news that I am afraid that even Su Zhe himself does not know are clear to him. Some time ago, in order to treat Su Zhe's head injury, his sister-in-law not only pawned all her jewelry, but also mortgaged the White Deer Academy handed down by the Su family's ancestors to the Zhao Mansion.

Just imagine, in such a poor and white family, what kind of amazing dowry can be obtained?

"If you can come up with an eye-opening dowry for me, my son will not only apologize to you on the spot, but also compensate you ten times as much as the dowry, how about it?"

Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic in his heart, "I really won't die if I don't die, I wanted to punish you a little, but who knew that you sent it to the door yourself, then you can't blame me." ”

On the surface, he hesitated: "Isn't this good?" If it is spread out, won't it make people misunderstand that I am bullying the young master. My dowry is worth a lot of money. ”

The more Su Ziheng said this, the more Li Haobang felt that he was weak-hearted. Xindao, what kind of valuable dowry can you come up with from a poor scholar's family? The most expensive is only a hundred taels of silver. What eye-opening gifts can be bought for a hundred taels of silver? The people present are all wealthy and noble, what kind of good things have they not seen?

Even if you get lucky enough to get a novelty, I'll lose only a thousand taels of silver. But once you can't take it out, hehe, then I'm embarrassed, and today I will definitely ridicule you until you are embarrassed to step into the Zhao Mansion half a step. In this way, it buys time for yourself and others.
