Zhong Lan really didn't expect her grandmother and uncle and aunt to still think about themselves so much, it turned out that they had never forgotten themselves and their brother, not only pulled over her mother's dowry, but also subsidized some more, what a big gift this is?

Zhong Lan directly shed tears, even Zhong Jue's eyes were red, but Zhong Huaiwen's face was a little embarrassed.

Because yesterday his mother said that the Ying family didn't pay attention to the two children, and she didn't even say anything about Zhong Lan's marriage, she didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly!

Ying Jia, who doesn't pay attention to children? This is more important than their Zhong family themselves! The bride price given by this foreign family is not worse than that given by this family, where does this put their Zhong family's face?

Zhong Huaiwen's face was black and red for a while, and he felt that Ying Jia was slapping him in the face, no, he must not lose this face.

So, just when Aunt Wei felt sorry for so many things given by the Ying family and she couldn't touch a penny, Master Zhong came to dig her flesh again.

"Cousin, you still have to add more, Sister Lan's dowry is enough, how can we live with it? In the future, Brother Jue will get married, Yin'er is only half a year younger than Sister Lan, and Lang'er is still studying now, so many people in the family live, master, there is really not much money on the bill! Aunt Wei gritted her teeth and said, she hated Zhong Lan and hated Ying's family, but she couldn't show it in front of Zhong Huaiwen, she was really aggrieved.

In fact, the Zhong family is not as miserable as she said, but those things are all things she wants to plan for her two children, why should she give them to Zhong Lan? Ying Ru finally died, and her daughter still came to Ying herself, what is the reason?

"No money? I remember that when Ying Ru was in charge of the family, he had a balance of tens of thousands of taels every year, why did he have no money? Zhong Huaiwen showed a skeptical look for the first time.

Aunt Wei's face froze, although her cousin doted on her very much, but she was very disgusted with her eldest brother, she couldn't say that all the money was used to subsidize her mother's family! And she was just a concubine before, Ying Ru was stingy and always willing to give herself money according to the rules, so wasn't she allowed to save some private money?

Although Zhong Huaiwen doesn't like to take care of the affairs of the inner house, it doesn't mean that he doesn't count in his heart, he pities his cousin, so even if he knows that she has a private house, he doesn't say anything, he just thinks it's her housekeeper's hard work, but he can't listen to Aunt Wei refute himself, obviously he has been quite sensible for so many years, why does he react so much when he mentions money?

"I remember that there was a ten-hectare hot spring village in the suburbs, so I added that one to the dowry, and gave another 10,000 taels to myself." Zhong Huaiwen didn't wait for Aunt Wei's reaction, and made a decision directly.

Aunt Wei wanted to say no to Zhong Huaiwen loudly, but she didn't dare, her biggest confidence in this family was her cousin's favor, her aunt was already old, maybe when she went, if her cousin married a new housewife at this time, her life would not be easy.

So she must be obedient, and she must let her cousin know that she has always been sensible and considerate, only in this way can she continue to hold the power of this family and continue to work for the welfare of her children.

Although her heart was dripping blood, she had to make a generous expression: "Yes, just listen to my cousin, it's better to add a few more children, so that someone can do things after Sister Lan goes to the Hou Mansion." ”

Seeing that Aunt Wei listened to her words very obediently, Zhong Huaiwen also felt that she was becoming more sensible and caring, or the woman's family was thoughtful, the Hou Mansion was so big, Sister Lan was the housewife when she married in the past, how could she do it without a few satisfactory helpers?

"Just do as you say, the children of the chosen family must be innocent, clever and loyal."

"I know very well that I will be obedient to keep them." Aunt Wei smiled, of course the person she chose would listen to her.

The next day, Zhong Lan was a little surprised when she learned that her father had added some dowry to her, but she quickly forgot about it, the day of marriage was getting closer and closer, and she also had a lot to do.

As an official lady, she didn't want to embroider a wedding dress or anything, but to seize the time to learn the knowledge of housekeepers and the etiquette of large families, she was only thirteen years old when her mother died, Mrs. Ying taught her something, but at that time Mrs. Ying's health was not very good, not much to teach, these three years, Mrs. Wei and Aunt Wei obviously will not plan for her, today to teach her grandmother or her second uncle invited from the princess's mansion.

Second Uncle Ying's official position is not high, and now he has a job of repairing books, he can have a relationship with the princess's mansion because when the court horse is a classmate with him, the horse and the princess have a good relationship, and the invited grandmother is also very capable, Zhong Lan is now like a sponge absorbing knowledge.

Mama also knew that Zhong Lan was going to get married in half a month, so she was very good at focusing on the key points, the first of which was how to salute when she saw all kinds of nobles.

Zhong Lan married Mrs. Hou, who was a first-class lady in the past, and there were not many people who asked her to salute, but it was precisely because of this that most of the people who communicated with her were some nobles with relatively high status, and this etiquette could not be wrong, and after practicing for many days, Zhong Lan barely remembered those complicated etiquette.

Then there is the knowledge of the housekeeper, and Mama vaguely reminded Zhong Lan to consult Mrs. Lao Hou after getting married, now you only need to know some basics, and you don't need to know too much.

Zhong Lan is a smart person, and immediately understood what Mama meant, and solemnly thanked Mama.

Time passed day by day, and soon the day of marriage came, although Zhong Lan had already prepared in his heart, he was still nervous when it came time to get married.

"Miss, we're all here!" Ye Qiu's calm voice sounded, and Zhong Lan's heart really calmed down a little.

"It's here, it's here, the Hou Ye is here to pick up the kiss."

"Hurry up and grab the red seal, the red seal given by Master Hou is too big."

"The eldest young master stopped Hou Ye outside."

"Yo, Master Hou is so powerful! In three or two clicks, the problem of the eldest young master was solved. ”

After a commotion outside, Zhong Jue walked into the boudoir and looked at his sister very reluctantly.

"Sister, brother will always be your support." Zhong Jue is only nineteen years old now, but he gives people a very stable feeling when he does things, only when he is in front of Zhong Huaiwen, he can't help but stab him with his temper, in fact, it's no wonder that he was also favored by his father when he was young, but later his father changed under the poke of Mrs. Wei and Aunt Wei, and suddenly changed from pampering to being picky, no wonder Young Master Zhong was unhappy.

"Come up, my brother will carry you out."

Zhong Lan obediently lay on Zhong Jue's back, and tears almost fell.

Today, Ye Qiu and Yang Chun followed their young lady, Shen Dong and Liu Xia guarded the dowry, perhaps because the in-laws were in the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Wei didn't pick a thorn today, and Aunt Wei didn't do anything unruly, Zhong Lan went out so smoothly.
