Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Dowry
Seeing this scene, Lu Huaiyu still didn't understand anything, that maid was Luo Yingxue's person at all, and it was Luo Yingxue who called him to this main hall.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but Nian Fu was the first to say hello, Nian Fu has a pivotal position in the court, even the emperor, he has to let three points of the role, and now he represents the entire Mingyang Palace.
Lu Huaiyu forcibly suppressed his desire to leave, and saluted Nian Fu: "Nian Lord! ”
"This Luo Wangfu and Mingyang Wangfu are separated by a few streets, what is the prince doing here?" Nian Fu had a three-point smirk on his face.
He came to find Luo Shuangyi, this is naturally not to be said in front of the Nian Fu, Lu Huaiyu's mind sank, looked at the Nian Fu, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of Miss Luo Er during this time, my illness can be cured in this section, today the Nian adults took Miss Luo Er away, and I haven't expressed my gratitude yet, this time, I came to see Miss Luo Er." ”
Both of them are cautious people who think about the city, and this lie will come when they open their mouths.
Nian Fu didn't tear him down, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "I heard that you were sick a few days ago, I was still a little worried about it, but now I see that there is nothing wrong, my niece is really a person who can take care of people!" ”
Lu Huaiyu echoed in a low voice: "What Lord Nian said is true. ”
Luo Yingxue sat quietly on the side, hearing Lu Huaiyu's appreciation, she thought that her intimate care for him had taken effect over the past few days, and His Royal Highness the Prince treated her now differently than in the past.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of sweetness in her heart, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Lu Huaiyu.
Nian Fu looked at Lu Huaiyu and came down with strong pressure: "Shizi, although you and my niece are married, but now that you are not married, the number of times you come to Luowangfu must be controlled." If you really have an opinion about my niece, it's not impossible to make an appointment with the outside world. ”
Nian Fu's tone was wrapped in coldness, and his eyes were full of oppression when he looked at Lu Huaiyu, don't think that he didn't know Lu Huaiyu's careful thoughts, there were rumors about him and the eldest daughter of Luofu, but he knew a lot, and now as soon as he came to Luowangfu, he went straight to the courtyard of the eldest girl of the Luo family, who could he hide from that little thought?
"Now that you have recovered from your illness, the marriage between you and Xue'er should also be put on the agenda, if it's okay, the prince should still put more attention on the wedding."
"What Lord Nian said is that I came out in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any thanks, so I will leave, and next time, I will prepare a generous gift to thank Miss Luo Er."
When the words fell, no matter what the faces of the two people in the main hall were, they flicked their sleeves and left the Luo Wangfu directly.
"Hey, His Royal Highness......
Luo Yingxue opened her mouth to keep it, but Lu Huaiyu quickly disappeared into the Luo Wangfu without hesitation.
"Don't look at it, everyone is gone." Nian Fu said loudly.
Luo Yingxue's face was full of loss, and the young man sighed, if the marriage between Xue'er and Lu Huaiyu can be successful, it will also have a lot of benefits for him, and now that the two are married by the Queen Mother, even if Lu Huaiyu likes Miss Na Luo no matter how much he likes it, he is helpless.
I heard that the girl seemed to have made a marriage with the son of Fanghou Mansion, and his little thoughts should have been broken a long time ago.
Nian Fu looked at Luo Yingxue and whispered: "You have nothing to do these days, go out less, and prepare more for the wedding, if you marry Mingyang Mansion in the future, you will be alone." ”
"Cher remembers her uncle's teachings."
Luo Yingxue responded obediently, and there was a little more certainty in her heart, the princess of this world can only be hers!
Originally, he was just sending Luo Yingxue back to the house, but he didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly said that he wanted to stay and live in Luo Wang's Mansion for a while, saying that he wanted to make up for the debt to her over the years before Luo Yingxue got married.
The person who came was a guest, not to mention that Nian Fu was not only an official in the same dynasty as Prince Luo, but the two families were also related by marriage, and Prince Luo was not easy to refuse, so he asked someone to clean up a courtyard in the house for him.
He also repeatedly told his subordinates that if Nian had any requirements, he should try his best to meet them, but Nian Fu was not half grateful for Luo Wangfu's good attitude.
On the contrary, I think that they probably have a bad conscience, and they have ignored Luo Yingxue all these years, probably because they are afraid that he will send his anger to Luo Wang's mansion and make any requests, so they will not allow everything.
After the Liu family asked people to clean up the yard, Fu confirmed again that if there were anything that needed to be added, they would be sent in as soon as possible.
Even the little servant brought by the young man, looking at the meticulous care of the Luo Wangfu, couldn't help but admire: "My lord, this Luo Wangfu is really responsive to you." ”
Nian Fu was full of disdain: "They have done a bad thing, they want to make up for it, my Xue'er has suffered grievances in the mansion for so many years, and now she is about to get married, I, who is an uncle, if I care about it at this time, this Luo Wangfu, I am afraid that I will also drink a pot." ”
The young man who feels good about himself doesn't know at all, Luo Wangfu and the others just take care of him as a guest, and the reason why people take care of him well is that they don't want to fall into his shoes, and they don't want him to continue to trouble Luo Shuangyi.
Lu Huaiyu agreed to the marriage of the two before leaving, and on the same day, Princess Mingyang came to the house to discuss with the old lady and the Liu family what to prepare for the wedding.
This dowry matter, naturally, can't be hidden from the young man who lives in the house, and after hearing that the old lady is preparing a dowry for Luo Yingxue, she immediately insists on taking a look.
When the old lady took out the dowry list, the young man's face was instantly unsightly.
"Tangtang Luo Wangfu, when your daughter gets married, you only prepare such a little thing, do you want to give my niece small shoes when you get married?"
It's a bit ugly to wear these small shoes, in fact, although Luo Yingxue's dowry is not much, but compared with the ordinary daughters of noble families, it is definitely a lot, after all, it is a concubine, according to the rules, although these dowries are not eye-catching, but they are definitely not chilling.
It's just that this year's Fu said it in small shoes, and the scene was a little ugly in an instant.
Luo Yingxue knew that the mansion would not prepare any sky-high dowry for her, after all, she had been in the mansion since she was a child, and she was an unpopular figure.
Luo Wangfu is also a palace, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but when she got married, she only took out such a small dowry, and the rest of the ones that were not taken out were conceivably prepared for Luo Shuangyi.
The hatred in her heart flooded like a flood, the handkerchief in her hand was about to break, and her eyes instantly turned red: "Uncle, don't blame your grandmother, Xue'er is a child without a mother, and she is already satisfied with so much dowry!" ”
As soon as Nian Fu heard this, he knew that Luo Yingxue had suffered a lot of grievances in the mansion: "Old lady, Xue'er is also my young Fu's niece, when my sister married into Luowang's mansion, what was the specification of the dowry she brought over, you also know it in your heart, now that my sister is gone, you will bully Xue'er, so take this little thing out to send people, it is too ugly!" ”
This sentence almost made the old lady angry, this year's Fu spoke too ugly, when Luo Yingxue Niang married in, she did bring a lot of things into the house, but when the Luo Wangfu was empty, the dowry had been consumed a lot in order to pay off foreign debts.
Coupled with the idle official position of Lord Luo for so many years, there is no oil and water at all, not to mention, this year maintains the huge mansion and various banquet etiquette outside, and the mansion is no longer as glamorous as it seems.
Luo Shuangyi sat next to the old lady and looked at Luo Yingxue's dowry list, most of the things on this dowry list should have been brought in by Luo Yingxue's mother, and her grandmother and Liu family seemed to have added some to it privately, although it was not very good, but she couldn't find any major faults.
But the scene can't go on like this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Lord Nian, you misunderstood, it's not that we are deliberately embarrassed, but that the house has not received any money over the years, and it is empty every year, and now there are only so many things that can be taken out." ”
The old lady was kind to say, but the young man couldn't listen to half a minute, and still said with a straight face: "Don't fool me, Xue'er's dowry must be doubled!" ”
The young man's attitude was tough and cold, not caring about everyone's face at all, Luo Shuangyi saw that the old lady was about to get angry, and hurriedly patted her on the back to give her a good breath.
Luo Shuangyi stood up and said slowly: "In terms of dowry, my sister is indeed a little wronged. ”
Everyone was stunned, what is this Luo Shuangyi talking about?
I only heard her continue to speak slowly: "Lord Nian has the entire Nian Mansion behind him, even if he plucks a hair from his body, it is thicker than our waist, and this dowry of Luo Wangfu is naturally not in the eyes of Lord Nian." It's just that with the assets of the house, my sister's dowry really can't come up with more. ”
"The young man feels so sorry for his sister, and he wants his sister to marry beautifully when she leaves the house, why not add some heart, so that his sister's dowry can be doubled, and it can also reflect the love of the young man for the junior."
What the? Doubled?
The old lady looked at Luo Shuangyi with wide eyes, this little girl, she really dares to say it!
Fang Cai Nian Fu is defending Luo Yingxue in and out of his words, it stands to reason that when Luo Yingxue gets married, he will definitely add makeup, but it is impossible to double it, but if he refuses, it is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
Nian Fu's face became blue and black for a while, and he couldn't say a word.
"Yi'er said very much, our Luo Wangfu can only smash the pot and sell iron if we take it again, Nian Fu loves Xue'er so much, and the Nian family is very rich, presumably this little makeup can still be taken." The old lady took Luo Shuangyi's words and took another step closer to Nian Fu.
Nian Fu had a calm face, and he could only respond because of his face.
