Chapter 115: Sky-high dowry
Ji Youyi asked Dr. Liu to study slowly, and when she saw that it was not early, she called Brother Yuan, "Brother Yuan, it's not early, I'll send you back." ”
"Aunt Ji, I can go back by myself." Brother Yuan packed up his things and replied.
"That's not good, it's not safe for you to go back alone, I'm not at ease." She can't do such a thing as letting a child go home alone. "Master, I'll send Brother Yuan back, and I'll hand over today's dinner to you."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll make you a delicious meal."
She spelled out something, and Dr. Liu was happy and accepted it in one bite.
Seeing this, Ji Youyi took Brother Yuan'er's hand, except for the courtyard, and walked towards Aunt Wang's house.
Along the way, she asked Brother Yuan about his homework from time to time, and listened to whether An An had taught him some strange things in addition to his homework.
Other people's children, if they are taught crookedly, it is a big problem.
Brother Yuan'er answered ordinary questions honestly, but when it came to An An, he refused to say anything, and the little child was taught to be cautious.
Ji Youyi saw that she couldn't ask anything, so she began to pretend to be sad, "Hey, now Brother Yuan doesn't like me as much as he used to, and he actually has his own little secret." ”
I thought that children were easy to deceive, but who would have thought that Brother Yuan said calmly: "Aunt Ji, you don't have to be like this, An An said, women can deceive people the most, especially beautiful women." ”
~!
Ji Youyi didn't expect An An to be so well vaccinated, and now the child really can't get in the oil.
She didn't have a way, she sent the child outside the courtyard gate with a face, she didn't want to enter the house, but she didn't expect people to come out.
Zheng Hui came back from the city to pick up her daughter from Aunt Wang, and the two families were about to become in-laws, so they naturally sat for a while and had a cup of tea.
The mother and daughter saw that the hour was almost up, got up to say goodbye, and when they opened the door, they saw Ji Youyi holding Yuan Ge'er standing outside the courtyard gate.
"Youyi, why are you here?" Zhao Zhuang naturally stepped forward to open the door and inquire about the situation.
"I was going to go to the house to check on the situation, and send Brother Yuan back by the way, so that you don't have to run again." Ji Youyi saw that the situation was not right, and made a small lie.
Zhao Zhuang said embarrassedly: "Thank you, there are guests at home, it has been delayed for a while, do you want to come in and have dinner before leaving?" ”
"Uh-huh." Aunt Wang snorted heavily, although she was dissatisfied with Zhao Zhuang's words, but in front of outsiders, she still had to be polite, "Da Zhuang, how can you delay Youyi's matter." Besides, don't you still want to send Lan Lan and Zheng Niangzi? ”
"Yes, yes, An An is also waiting for me to come home for dinner." Ji Youyi didn't want to cause everyone's contradictions, so she hurriedly said: "Since Brother Yuan has sent it, then I will leave, Brother Zhao doesn't need to send it, see you tomorrow." ”
Without waiting for Zhao Zhuang to stay, she left as if she was flying.
Even though she felt that she had done a good job, there were still people who were not satisfied.
Jiang Lanlan leaned on Zheng Hui's support and walked over slowly, her face was pale and sorrowful, and she seemed to be weak when she spoke, "Brother Zhuang, am I delaying your affairs with my mother?" ”
"What a thing." Aunt Wang took the initiative to support her and said politely: "Lan Lan, you are not well, I will let Da Zhuang send you back." ”
"No, Mrs. Wang. The hour is not early, and it will be dark when Da Zhuang comes and goes, and it is not safe. Zheng Hui refused.
Aunt Wang refused, and pushed Da Zhuang out of the door. "It's okay, he's a big man, what's this road, Da Zhuang must send Lan Yatou and Zheng Niangzi home."
"Okay, got it." Zhao Zhuang knew that there was no end to pushing back and forth, so he directly accepted it and took Jiang Lanlan's support from Zheng Hui's hand, "Let's go." ”
After Aunt Wang took Brother Yuan and watched the three of them leave, she sighed comfortably. "Brother Yuan, you have to be polite to Lan Lan in the future, you didn't say hello to anyone today."
Brother Yuan shook off her hand, "I don't like that woman, she's not a good person." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, you kid?" When Aunt Wang saw her grandson lose her temper, not only did she not coax, but scolded angrily: "You are a little child, what do you know, what nonsense." ”
"I know, I hear it all." Brother Yuan opened his eyes angrily and said angrily.
Outside the kitchen today, he and An An both heard that the woman had a child, but it was gone. He wanted to tell the matter, but when he thought of An An's admonition, he kept his mouth shut.
When Aunt Wang saw that he was silent, she didn't think much about it, she just thought that he had listened to some nonsense from others, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally Ji Youyi.
She said with an unhappy face: "Don't listen to those nonsense people, I have already decided on your father's marriage, and I will be hired in two days, and Lan Lan will be your aunt in the future." If you really don't like it, you always want to call Lan Niangzi. ”
After all, it was her grandson, and she was still distressed in the end, and she stopped nagging after saying a few words.
She sighed deeply, "Let's go, I haven't eaten dinner yet, grandma will make it for you." ”
"Don't eat, I'll go back to the house." Brother Yuan felt uncomfortable in his heart, and went back to the house with a temper.
His disobedience fell in the eyes of Aunt Wang, that is, Ji Youyi taught her own children badly, and she had never seen him like this before.
Aunt Wang couldn't say anything angry, stomped her feet, stopped cooking, and went back to the house to sulk.
When Zhao Zhuang came back, he saw that the house was deserted, only the main house was lit with candles, and when he arrived at the kitchen, the cold pot and the stove didn't look like he was cooking.
With a stomach full of questions, he was about to go back to the house to see what was going on, when the door to the main house opened.
Aunt Wang stood at the door and called softly: "Da Zhuang, come here." ”
Zhao Zhuang looked at his room, nodded, and followed her into the main house.
Zheng Hui came over today, and the two families had a thorough discussion, and they would go to the next appointment in ten days.
Even so, some things are not good to say in front of your in-laws, so you can only wait for Zhao Zhuang to come back and talk about them in private.
"Da Zhuang, your family has decided, and I am also a matter of heart. Now that the date of employment is decided, there are some things I should tell you. ”
Aunt Wang took out a list, and everything written on it was all the things needed for the next hiring.
"The things on this, you find a time to go to the city to set it, let the merchant send it the day before the next hire, and then tidy up at home, and the next hire will be more festive."
Zhao Zhuang opened the list and saw a whole page of things on it.
Retainer: two and two
Engagement Cake: Once
Three animals: two pairs
Wine: 4 bottles
Sijing fruits: one box each
Sticker box: one box
Oil and hemp tea ceremony: one copy
Twelve catties of glutinous rice, three catties and two taels of sugar.
A pair of gold and silver dragon and phoenix bracelets, a hosta, a step shake, a pair of earrings,
Zhao Zhuang probably calculated, and after removing the jewelry, a total of thirty taels of silver would be required.
"Mother, isn't this dowry too much?" He thought that the first time he got married, it was just a bride price of five taels, and he gave a gold bracelet, two chickens, and some glutinous rice and sugar and other things, which couldn't be compared with this time.
