Chapter 436: Recruitment
Xie Wan and Miao Anping were stunned.
Miao Anping even lost his voice: "Then, what should I do?" ”
The guard sighed: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister can't not die." The Father wants the Son to die, but the Son cannot fail to die. No matter how powerful our prince is outside, in front of the grandfather of the country, he must abide by the children's share. At most, I lose my temper like this, what else can I do? ”
Miao Anping was ecstatic, and then Xie Wan went home.
Xie Wan was a little hesitant.
The reason why he is willing to marry the Miao family is that he hopes to talk to Song Mo, who is the son-in-law of the Dou family in Beilou, about this matter, what does the second master of the British Mansion have to do with him? Now Xiaoding hasn't started yet, but Song Mo was angry and ran away, is it still necessary for him to go to Miao's house?
But Wanping County is only so big, Miao Anping is in a hurry, the sedan chair man thinks that the Miao family has now climbed the British Mansion, and he does not dare to snub him, and when Xie Wan comes back to his senses, the sedan chair has stopped at the gate of the Miao Mansion.
He had to get out of the sedan chair.
Miao Su'an's uncle, father, and uncle came out in a swarm to greet them.
Xie Wan entered the gate proudly.
Miao Anping pulled his father behind the pomegranate tree on the side.
"Dad, I tell you that I just met the prince of the British Mansion." He told Miao's father what happened, "It can be seen that this Song Yantang is a soft nest, and he is not present today, you say, can we discuss the number of dowry matters?" ”
Miao's father's heart was pounding, it was very feasible for his son's construction.
He immediately asked Miao Ansu's uncle to discuss.
Miao Ansu's uncle pondered for a long time and said: "Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth." Give it a try first, and then talk about it. ”
Miao's father and Miao Ping'an couldn't stop nodding.
The three of them went to the hall.
Accompanied Xie Wan to drink a cup of tea, and the person ordered by the British government arrived.
The matchmaker of the Song family was Bo, a master named Qiao Lu in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Li, a classmate of Song Yichun when he was taking the Xiucai exam.
When he mentioned this, Song Yichun was full of indignation.
He originally wanted to invite the three horses to be the officiant. Who knew that the three horses were unwilling to take over on the grounds that they had never been the main marriage. He had no choice but to retreat and ask An Luhou to come forward, he never thought that An Luhou still hated Song Mo for giving him small shoes, not only did he not invite anyone, but he also listened to An Luhou's sneer in An Luhou's mansion. He was so angry that he jumped to his feet at home, scolded Song Mo fiercely, and thought of his uncle Lu Fuli, but Lu Fuli said that he was old. I don't have enough energy, I can't stand the hustle and bustle, so let him invite someone younger.
This back and forth, delaying time, they hastily found one of their subordinates and a colleague who had a lot of dealings to marry.
Xie Wan looked at these two people. The corners of the eyes twitched.
How about being born in two Jinshi, drinking at the same table with a bureaucracy?
He held his forehead and said that the wind was blowing, and pushed the matter to the county Cheng Ma Hao, and he got on the sedan chair and ran away.
Wanping County is a Jing County, and the county also has to be born as a Jinshi.
Ma Hao was secretly glad that he was just an escort today, but he didn't expect that he would become the main escort in a blink of an eye, and his face changed suddenly. Sitting in the east wing of the hospitality room, drinking tea and chatting, just don't come out to socialize.
The people of the Miao family had no choice, so they invited the two matchmakers of the Song family to sit in the west wing, and the Quanfu people on both sides greeted each other. Give the gift.
A red gold choker set with multiple precious stones, ruby earrings the size of lotus seeds, a heavy bracelet with red gold button patterns, and a yellow horseshoe ring.
Miao's mother saw these jewelry. His eyes were slitted with laughter.
The Quanfu people of the Song family invited Mrs. Song San.
She gave the collar, earrings, bracelets, and rings to Miao Ansu to wear.
Miao Ansu had a hint of a smile in his eyes, and was supported by the maid. Get up and kowtow to Mrs. Song San.
Mrs. Song San took two gold handkerchiefs as a salute, and then the accompanying servants carried gifts for each room of the Miao family.
The ceremony is done.
Mrs. Miao Da and Mrs. Song San went to the hall to discuss the dowry and the date of the marriage.
Miao Ansu's personal maid pouted in and out, and said with a smile: "Mrs., miss, I have seen clearly, the Song family is sending tea and wine." The fourth master said that the tea is the best West Lake Longjing, and the wine is the authentic northern Shaanxi thick wine. ”
Miao Ansu pursed her lips and smiled.
Miao's mother glanced at her daughter and said angrily: "I'm satisfied." ”
Miao Ansu pulled her mother's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly.
In the hall, Mrs. Song's face turned cold to frost.
She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and then said: "As the saying goes, a man picks up, and a woman takes a head." The grand gift of thirty-six taels and the dowry of 10,000 taels of silver are not much for our British government. When the prince married his family, the dowry of one hundred and twenty-four taels of silver cost 20,000 taels of silver. However, Mrs. Shizi's family returned a dowry of one hundred and twenty-six taels, two of which were silver tickets of eleven taels, which were as much as 40,000 taels, and the total price was more than 100,000 taels. According to this number, your house will at least have to buy ...... A dowry of 30,000 taels of silver is. ”
The other party was silent.
Is it very angry?
Mrs. Song San looked up and saw the Miao family's whole blessing - the Miao family's aunt and grandmother looking at her like a toad with her mouth open enough to swallow a toad.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
If you have a dowry of less than three thousand taels of silver, you want a dowry of ten thousand taels of silver, how can there be such a good thing?
When she married into the Song family, it was only a dowry of 2,000 taels of silver.
If it weren't for the nobles in the palace intervening, with their Miao family, they wouldn't be qualified to carry shoes for the Song family, and they still want to be her nephew and daughter-in-law, so dream of it!
Thinking like this, she suddenly felt that Dou Zhao had become very close.
When Dou Zhao first came over, the red seals that were rewarded to the servants were all eight cents of silver, and her daughter alone got eight reds, and because her daughter was Song Mo's cousin, the Dou family also gave another 1,000 taels of silver.
Can they take it out?
No wonder the sister-in-law refused to come, she had long known that this Miao family was a faceless and skinless house.
Mrs. Song San sighed in her heart.
The British government has a big business, it's not that they can't take out this 10,000 taels of silver, but the Song family gave a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver, and the bride entered the door, but there was only 3,000 taels of silver for the dowry, and the Song family couldn't afford to lose this face.
It's still a sister-in-law who is shrewd!
Don't stick to this thing.
own later. It is necessary to have more than one heart.
The aunt and grandmother of the Miao family really don't know what to say.
Things had gotten completely to the point where she was overwhelmed.
Will someone spend 100,000 taels of silver to marry their daughter?
100,000 taels, how much land do you have to buy!
Do you have this money and don't leave it to your son and grandson, and take it to someone else's house for your daughter?
The Song family is slandering her, right?
Nian Guan flashed, her heart was settled, and she smiled: "We can't control what other people's homes are like." Mrs. said it well, a man and a woman are picked, and a woman is the head, if the Song family pays a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver. We will accompany the girl's marriage of 5,000 taels of silver, which is all exquisite, not you have the final say, nor I have the final say. ”
"That's it." Mrs. Song San reached out and stroked her sideburns and said. "I already understand what your mansion means, and I will tell Grandpa Guo when I go back. What about the wedding period? ”
The aunt and grandmother of the Miao family said with a smile: "This dowry has not been decided, how can the wedding date be set?" ”
Mrs. Song San snorted coldly in her heart.
It seems that this marriage cannot be discussed today.
I'm afraid I'll have to learn in the future.
She is not a quiet person, thinking that this marriage is a royal gift, does the Miao family dare to regret the marriage?
Since they took Joe, let them hold it.
When the time comes, the emperor asks, will the emperor still help the Miao family?
Take 10,000 steps back. If no one asks, Song Han is a boy, even if it drags on for three or five years, there will still be people who warm the bed. Maybe even the eldest son and eldest daughter have it, so if you want to be in a hurry, it is also the people of the Miao family who are in a hurry. said no, he would beg the Song family to marry someone into the door as soon as possible.
When the time comes, see who looks at whom!
Mrs. Song simply got up and said goodbye: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back to the house first." Wait for your government to make a decision. I'll come back to visit my in-laws. ”
The implication is that the Song family only paid a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver. Agree or disagree.
The aunt and grandmother of the Miao family were stunned.
What does the Song family mean by this?
Do you still want to resist the decree?
Aren't they afraid of the emperor's blame?
She couldn't help but say: "This marriage was decided by the nobles in the palace. ”
Mrs. Song San chuckled, with an undisguised sarcasm between her eyebrows: "Our grandfather went to the palace to see the emperor yesterday, and the marriage was not negotiated, just explain it to the emperor." Don't worry about the aunt and grandmother of the Miao family. With that, he turned and walked out.
Mrs. Miao, who was hiding behind the door and listening to the corner, was too anxious.
The Song family can enter the palace at any time, and they can face the saint at any time, the Miao family doesn't want to say that the emperor, that is, the prince has never seen anything like, if the Song family sues the Miao family in front of the emperor, the Miao family doesn't even have a chance to defend itself, shouldn't they be wronged?
She hurriedly walked out from behind the door with a smile and called out to Mrs. Song San: "The banquet outside has been set up, just waiting for you to take a seat." As she spoke, she stepped forward in three steps and two steps forward to take Mrs. Songsan's arm, and said softly, "Several masters of our family have already accompanied the two matchmakers of your mansion to the table, and we should also go over." ”
The Song family also accompanied Mrs. Song San to make a small decision, Mrs. Song San can't ignore these people and leave arbitrarily, right?
Mrs. Miao looked at Mrs. Song San with a smile.
Mrs. Song San raised her eyebrows noncommittally, and Mrs. Miao accompanied her to the women's table.
Miao's mother couldn't wait to pull the Miao family's aunt and grandmother, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
The aunt and grandmother of the Miao family were full of gloom, and said: "The Song family is only willing to pay a dowry of five thousand taels of silver. Then he told Miao's mother what Mrs. Song San said about the wedding of Song Mo and Dou Zhao, and said, "You say, is this true or false?" If it's true, then trouble. Where can we get so much dowry in our family? An Su got married, wasn't she pressed on her head by Mrs. Shizi and couldn't move! ”
Miao's mother opened her mouth and stammered.
"Really?" She panicked to go to Miao's father, "I have to discuss it with her father." ”
The aunt and grandmother of the Miao family shook their heads and went to sit down.
Father Miao listened to Miao's mother's words, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Miao Ping'an, who came to find Miao's father to accompany the guest, couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and said, "Look at what worries you, what's so difficult about this?" ”
