What the? Refuse?

Liu Yuan's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which thundered everyone present at once.

Cui Jingleng paused for a moment, as if he didn't believe it, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What did you say just now?" Refuse? ”

He thought he had heard it wrong, not only him, but also Cui Tingshi and Cui Wang's family, they all thought that they had heard it wrong, an insignificant small businessman who dared to say "refusal" to a third-grade master, a Shangshu? It's still the case that someone marries their daughter and sticks to the big bed, which is simply unreasonable.

Cui Tingshi on the side was so anxious that he sweated out, Liu Yuan promised to do well just now, the marriage was agreed, and "the elder don't dare to resign" also nodded yes, what is this now? If something goes wrong at this juncture, it means that he, the matchmaker, has not done well, and he has offended Cui Sanye of Cui's big house at once, as well as Cui's most respected old lady Cui, who is afraid of a long life, so Cui Tingshi desperately glanced at Liu Yuan and asked him not to talk nonsense.

Liu Yuan straightened his waist and said seriously: "Yes, I refuse." ”

Old Mrs. Cui's complexion changed, and Cui Jing was even more angry, and shouted angrily: "Refuse? Do you think my Cui Jing's daughter is not good, and she can't match you, or do you think the dowry is too thin? ”

I don't care that Liu Yuan is a white-bodied, lowly businessman, and marries his daughter who is like a jewel to him, and his daughter Bing Xue is smart and wise. A few years ago, the person who asked for relatives stepped through the threshold, but he was reluctant, and he never agreed, and now the rice has become a cook, forced to be helpless, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, not a penny of gift money, all expenses are all inclusive, gold, mansions, slaves are the same, and even the Grange that has more than 10,000 taels of silver every year is also left to him to choose. The married girls are all upside down on the big bed, this is not satisfied?

Even the Buddhas are on fire.

Liu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Lord Shangshu is angry, please listen to the small explanation." ”

"Say it." Old Mrs. Cui stopped Cui Jing, who was furious, and said coldly, the love and care just now. It's long gone.

"Miss Cui Mengyao is everyone's best girl, and she is wise. Knowledgeable and courteous. It's rare to look down on the villain, no matter what, the villain will not live up to her affection. Liu Yuan said sincerely: "I said no, just don't want the dowry, the villain is by no means too thin, on the contrary." It's so lucrative that the villain wants to support himself and succeed with his own efforts, and doesn't want to get something for nothing. ”

Seeing that Cui Jing wanted to speak. Liu Yuan hurriedly continued: "I know that the villain's background is not good, although he is barely a scholar now, but he has been a businessman, and this is estimated to be a person with a heart, Lord Shangshu does not accept a penny of the bride price, it is estimated that he is afraid that someone will slander him, saying that he is greedy for the property of the merchant, so he marries the woman to the businessman, so not only does he not accept it, but also sticks a large amount of money upside down, Lord Shangshu is afraid of people gossiping, in fact, the villain is also afraid that someone will say that the villain is greedy for money and power, and deliberately clings to the Qinghe Cui family. ”

"In order for Miss Cui to have a husband who stands upright and walks straight, the villain is brave, and he doesn't want a dowry."

Cui's uncle and nephew looked at each other, and secretly had a feeling of wanting to cheer in their hearts, this Liu Yuan seemed to be delicate, but he didn't expect to be so backbone, even Cui Tingshi on the side, felt that he had to get to know Liu Yuan again, he was a little unable to see through it before, and now he can't see through it.

Even though Liu Yuan was reasonable, Cui Tingshi asked himself, when there was such a fortune and opportunity in front of him, could he refuse? Cui Tingshi shook his head secretly, it was obvious that he couldn't do it.

Old Mrs. Cui stared at Liu Yuan, shook her head and said, "Liu Xiaolang, what you said makes sense, and the old body also admires your personality and backbone, but the dowry my son gave to my granddaughter is her private property, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to care." ”

In ancient times, when a woman married, the dowry given by her parents was indeed her private property, without her consent, no one could move, if the woman died after marriage, the dowry had to be returned to her mother's family, and Mrs. Cui was no exception.

Liu Yuanleng paused, but he still shook his head and said, "Then I will persuade Meng Yao to give up this dowry, or persuade her to take this dowry to Zhou Jibao's poor family." ”

"My daughter's dowry has nothing to do with you, so why should you? I am the third master of the dignified Cui family, and I have no dowry for marrying a daughter, so don't I make my colleagues laugh off their big teeth? Cui Jing roared angrily.

I really don't know how to lift, others will only think that the dowry is small, and they want to ask for more in every possible way, and some even quarrel, this bastard Liu Yuan is still too much, he is really angry Cui Sanye blows his beard and glares at him, if it weren't for the old lady here, I really want to slap him, is it burned.

"Marry her husband, she has to listen to me." Liu Yuan said stubbornly.

Cui Jing said to each other: "What if you don't obey? ”

Liu Yuan said lightly: "Then it's not my wife." ”

"You~~~" Cui Jing stood up all of a sudden, and wanted to smash someone with a teacup in one hand.

"Third child, sit down!" Old Lady Cui suddenly shouted. 、

"Mother, I"

Mrs. Cui glared at her eyes and shouted, "Sit down!" ”

"Yes, Mother." Cui Jing was very filial, and when he saw that the old lady was angry, he sat down stupidly, and he didn't forget to glare at the little thief who didn't know how to lift.

Mrs. Cui smiled and said to Liu Yuan: "You have this heart of self-improvement and self-reliance, the old body is very pleased, I think of my Cui ancestor Cui Yan, why not by a cloth clothes, the most rearly in the temple, however, you also know the Tao, poor men, rich daughters, my family Mengyao, since childhood, brocade clothes and jade food, comfortable living, fine food, never lack of servants around you, if you follow you, you don't want that dowry, don't let her be wronged, how can you bear it?" ”

If Liu Yuan was still a primary school apprentice, he naturally didn't dare to say that kind of big talk, but the Jinyu family and the Moyun study are very profitable businesses, with these two industries, Liu Yuan is definitely worry-free, as for the aspect of living, it is easy to solve, the house in Slender West Lake, although it is not as exquisite as Cui's mansion, but it is by no means rude.

"Although the villain doesn't dare to say that he is rich and expensive, he can still do it if he lets his wife and children live a life of fine clothes and food." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he gave Cui Tingshi a look for help.

Cui Tingshi wanted to cry, if the third uncle held the matchmaker responsible, he would not care how many "pillows" he sent, but he had put it aside, and he couldn't talk about him staying out of the matter, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Ancestor, this Liu Yuan lives well, eats well, and has all the slaves, maidservants, and coachmen at home. ”

You kid, how dare you push me at this time? Cui Jing stared at Cui Tingshi dissatisfiedly, but he didn't expect that the kid would lower his head early in the morning, and when he saw the old mother looking at him with an inquiring gaze, he said fairly: "Which, it's barely okay, so-so." ”

Mrs. Cui was taken aback, with the pickiness of her third son, she could still say such a thing, it seemed that the conditions of Liu Yuan's family were very good.

Turning his head to look at Liu Yuan, he saw that this little Langjun was sitting straight, with a confident smile on his face, looking very personal and stylish, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but sigh secretly: In these years, there are really not many children with such a backbone, well, Xiao Yao still has a vision.

People are old spirits, ghosts are old spirits, Mrs. Cui just thought about it for a while, and soon had an idea in her heart:

"The dowry is a must, otherwise, there will be nowhere to put the face of my Cui family, Liu family Xiaolang, let's have a gentleman's appointment."

"A gentleman's covenant? Please let the old lady speak clearly. ”

Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "The dowry I just said is still the same, but this dowry is managed by the Cui Mansion, and the property and the industry are sent to manage it, if within three years, you have the strength to prove to us that you really don't need this dowry to live well, then, we will take back this dowry; If within three years, you haven't shown us that you have that ability, then you can't prevent Xiao Yao from taking charge of this dowry, don't tell me, you have that ability now, how much property you have, we still know the way, even if it is doubled, or nothing, I think, you have no opinion on this bet, right? ”

"No comment! I agreed. Liu Yuan nodded and agreed to the bet on his character and dignity.

Three years, that's enough. (To be continued.) )
