Chapter 1108: Eldest Sister
Xie Mulin and eldest sister Xie Yinghui walked side by side on the way back to their yard. A few girls followed.
As she walked, Xie Yinghui suddenly stopped and glanced back at Lu Qi. Lu Qi has probably also experienced it, and quickly understood the meaning of her own girl, pulled Cuijiao and the little girl in her house back, and opened a distance of more than two feet from the two girls. Cuijiao was still ignorant, and when she looked up and saw the look in Xie Mulin's hand, she didn't ask, but her eyes were still blank.
Xie Mulin glanced around and saw that there was no one nearby. Although this is the closest to his brother Xie Jinzhi's yard, Xie Jinzhi is now following the Song family in the second room and Xie Meijun's mother and son to the Song family's hometown in Changping to sweep the tomb and visit relatives. This seems to be a place to talk alone, could it be that my eldest sister stopped because of this?
Xie Mulin was thinking about it, but the eldest sister Xie Yinghui had already approached her, and said in a low voice: "Second sister, you also understand what the third girl said. This dead girl obviously wants to get the attention of Yan Wangfu through marriage, forcing her aunt to buy her more dowry, and supporting her pomp and circumstance at the wedding! I don't bother to pay attention to those false things, and she won't let her come over there! But the dowry ...... Can't help her make a fuss! No matter what method you use to the second sister, you must persuade the aunt not to add anything to the third girl, give her whatever she should have given her, and never boost her arrogance! β
Xie Mulin was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, my mother is not so confused, it is impossible to really lift a concubine to the sky." Even if she doesn't care about the decency of the eldest sister and me, she still has to consider the fourth sister. What kind of pomp was it when the third sister got married, and when the fourth sister got married in the future, it must be the same case, if the third sister was raised too high, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the fourth sister? The fourth sister is going to marry my grandmother's grandson, even if she doesn't save face for the fourth sister, she also has to take care of my grandfather and grandmother? Besides, the second room is not good for those false pomp, and it is impossible for the third sister to be in the limelight. As for her holding the edict of Yan Wangfu, the chicken feathers are filled with arrows, that is, to scare and scare others, can Yan Wangfu still blame our Xie family for her and Wan Long? β
Xie Yinghui's face softened a lot. That's right, the Xie family and Yan Wangfu are actually serious in-laws, and Xie Mulin's fiancΓ© Xiao Rui is the son of King Yan. No matter how much King Yan values Wanlong, it is impossible not to save face for the Xie family. Xie Yingrong didn't know the truth, he probably really thought that Xiao Rui was just a guard of Yanwangfu, and he misunderstood that Wan Long, who had been reused, could be on an equal footing with Xiao Rui, so he felt that he could rely on the backer of Yanwangfu to ask his mother for something she didn't deserve. But as an insider, how could Xie Pu and Wen's let her mess around?
But Xie Yinghui is still a little uneasy: "My aunt is kind-hearted, and I can't guarantee that I won't think that the three girls are about to marry into the Wanjia family, and that her kind of fool will not have a good life in a high-ranking family, so I pity her a little more and add more dowries to her." But the kind of person who is the third girl will not be grateful to her aunt for this, she will only become more and more greedy, and she may not make more excessive demands in the future! Therefore, no matter what she asks, the aunt should not agree, just act according to her original thoughts! β
Xie Yinghui lowered her voice even more: "Our family has been robbed of millions of family property by the Cao family four years ago, and since then it has been greatly damaged, even if it is a little back now, we don't have to worry about food and clothing on weekdays, and we have a good life, but it is definitely incomparable with before!" Now that the family is going to marry three daughters in one go, and they have to prepare for the eldest brother to marry Ma Yurong, in terms of money, they will definitely be tight, so they also need to be careful in their calculations.

"I'll just do it, the dowry doesn't have to be too much, the Huang family's family is there, I am going to get married, if there are too many dowries, I'm afraid that Ziheng doesn't feel anything, and Mrs. Huang will have to be more careful first. In order for me to live comfortably in my husband's house in the future and get along well with my mother-in-law, it is better for me not to marry too much. If my aunt is afraid that I will be wronged, it is a big deal to prepare me with more silver in the box, preferably a silver ticket with a small denomination, and a silver ticket with the oldest qualification in the capital, and some gold for me to use, it will be more thoughtful. β
Xie Mulin couldn't help frowning. The eldest sister's concerns are certainly reasonable, but the sisters marry on their front and back feet, they are all the same, if the eldest sister's dowry is too far worse than her, Wen's mother, who is not the mother's mother, I am afraid that it will cause many people to misunderstand.
Xie Yinghui felt that as long as it was arranged, it was unlikely that Wen would be misunderstood. Her reputation in Beiping City has always been very good, even if there are really a few women with many mouths and tongues chewing their tongues, they must take into account her identity as the wife of the political envoy and dare not say more. Moreover, Xie Yinghui thinks that her dowry does not have to be too shabby, she only needs to prepare it according to the rules and customs, and then fill the scene with a large number of books or calligraphy and paintings. It also seems to be more bookish, more in line with the temperament of the Huang family!
The important thing is the marriage of the second sister Xie Mulin.
Xie Yinghui said to Xie Mulin very solemnly: "Your marriage is different from our sisters, the second brother-in-law is not only a clan, but it is very likely that he will become the son of King Yan in the future, and even the King of Yan!" You are married to the most noble prince in the prince's palace. What kind of people can get such a good marriage between the DPRK and China?! Although our Xie family has our father, a second-class high-ranking official, to support the portal, the foundation is too thin, and my grandfather is a businessman, not to mention those high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, even in this Beiping City, there are many people who look down on our Xie family and think that we are just nouveau riche! Obviously, you and your second brother-in-law are a match made in heaven, and they have a deep affection for each other, but you want to call people say that you are Gao Pan for no reason, isn't that disgusting? !
"Moreover, Princess Yan and the county lord are very kind, but there are many side branches in the Yan Palace, not only are they not the same as the Yan Wang family, but they also have the intention of picking thorns, as long as there is a chance to block them, they can do anything! Even if you don't provoke these people, they will deliberately get along with you, and Tete will laugh at Yanwangfu with our family's family background. Therefore, your dowry must not be missing! Not only must it be weighty, but it must also show that our family is not an ordinary rich family, but an official family with a background! Books, calligraphy and paintings, etc., may not be popular in a place like Beiping, but those precious antique jewelry and other things that can be seen at a glance must not be missing! Even if we call people to say that our Xie family is smashing people with silver, we have to hold up the pomp of the Xie family, and we can't ask those disgusting guys to arrange you! β
Xie Mulin's eyes widened when he heard this: "Do you want to be so exaggerated?" β
