Chapter 241: Pay back everything you owe me
Others regard marriage as their fate, but Chu Yueli uses it as a bargaining chip and wants to reap the benefits. She can see clearly and think clearly. The people in the Chu Mansion are all difficult little ghosts, and their faces are thick on their own. Gu Mansion, the eldest princess is in charge, even if she marries, she must cover her edge, otherwise the end will be - only one can live. Only the benefits are in hand, and the most real is the most.
Mrs. Chu and Master Chu were quietly relieved when they saw that Chu Yueli's face was relieved, and their attitude was not as oily and salty as they were just now. Now, the one who was looking forward to Chu Yueli's nod the most turned out to be the second young lady Chu Lianying. As for Aunt Xu and her son and daughter, she is the best at watching the fire, and when she shouldn't speak, she doesn't say a word.
Master Chu said: "Shuyan is right. Yueli, if you have any ideas, you can tell your father. It's all one family, so why talk about two families? ”
Chu Yueli said: "Father said this, but it made his daughter die of shame. Isn't the daughter's food, clothing, shelter and transportation all given by the father? Even the mother knew that her daughter was reckless and could not take care of the gold, silver, jewelry, and property, so she had to help her keep it. The daughter was originally a blessed person, but now her sleeves are empty, if she really enters the Hou Mansion, she can only embarrass the Chu family. ”
Master Chu has been in officialdom for many years, even if his ears are soft and he has no opinions, he is not a second goods who lacks heart. He understood Chu Yueli's words, and immediately looked at Mrs. Chu and reproached: "Yueli is already getting married, so don't worry about eating radishes salty, you have to help her keep those jewels and belongings." ”
What Mrs. Chu ate into her mouth, how difficult is it to spit it out?! Mrs. Chu wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but because her face was full of silver needles, she could only whine twice.
Master Chu looked at Chu Yueli and continued: "Your dowry, don't worry. There are still some decent things in the house, and then let the housekeeper open the storeroom, and you can choose a few at will, and let the next person send you the Wisteria Pavilion. ”
Chu Yueli said: "Father forgot, my daughter still lives in the North Point Cottage. ”
Master Chu sank his face and said, "North Point Hut, how do you live in it?" You, your mother said angry words, you take it seriously?! Let's move back in. lest the damp tide of the night hurt the bones of the body. ”
Chu Yueli said: "By the way, father, I sent you the red night." ”
Master Chu said with a straight face: "Why did you send your own girl to your father?" When you go to Gu's mansion, the girl will follow you. He took out Hongxiao's deed of sale from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Yueli, "This deed of sale, you put it away." ”
Chu Yueli asked, "Father won't go back on his word, right?" ”
Master Chu shook his head and said, "You, you're too naughty." ”
Chu Yueli took two steps forward with a smile, put away Hongxiao's deed of sale, and said, "Father is just angry." ”
Master Chu smiled: "How can a father be the kind of person who has no energy? Instead, he said, "Now that everything has been arranged, you can wait to enter the Hou Mansion with peace of mind." ”
Chu Yueli said: "Father, why are you going to enter the Hou Mansion again?" ”
Master Chu's smiling face was a little unbearable, and he asked, "What else do you want?" ”
Chu Yueli said: "Wisteria Pavilion was originally a place where his daughter lived temporarily, and it was okay for my father not to let his daughter continue to live; It's okay to let your daughter continue to live. The treasures that were taken away by my mother were all given to me by the eldest princess, and it is understandable to return them to me. ”
Mrs. Chu: "Woo woo......"
Chu Yueli said: "Look, my mother is not happy. ”
Lord Chu glared at him, and Mrs. Chu immediately shut up.
Chu Yueli continued: "Hongxiao, she is the girl who serves me, this is not wrong, right? ”
Lord Chu said: "Didn't you open the warehouse and choose a few treasures?" ”
Chu Yueli said with a smile: "From my father's point of view, the things left in the warehouse are just things that can't be put on the table. Good things, but they're all locked up in my mother's place. ”
Mrs. Chu: "Whoa......"
Lord Chu's face sank and asked, "What do you mean?" Do you still want your mother's dowry? ”
Chu Moxing also said: "Third sister, you can't go too far. ”
Chu Man'er covered her mouth and looked at Chu Yueli with wide eyes, as if she was frightened by her.
Aunt Xu stood with her hands down, like a shadow.
Chu Zhaoyue lowered her eyebrows, just like a transparent person.
Instead, Chu Lianying spoke: "The third sister has not been in the house for a long time, and there is indeed a lack of dowry. Although I didn't prepare there, if my sister fancied something, the second sister would give it with both hands. ”
Chu Yueli sneered and said, "Look at you, why do you all look like you're facing a great enemy?" I'm just talking about it. Besides, I really swore that if I couldn't marry General Zhuangwu and let the marriage go smoothly, I would become a nun. ”
Lord Chu felt as if he had been tricked, and instantly became angry, and said, "You! ”
Chu Yueli didn't look at him, and continued: "However, I think the Buddha also knows that filial piety comes first. Marriage is the order of parents. ”
Lord Chu's face eased slightly, but he kept tense, lest Chu Yueli come to another "but".
Chu Yueli hooked her lips and smiled, and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and oath and filial piety cannot be complete. It's better to add more sesame oil money, as my mother said. ”
Mrs. Chu: "Hmm......"
Lord Chu became cautious this time and asked, "How much money?" ”
Chu Yueli replied: "Ten thousand taels of silver." ”
Mrs. Chu stood up in an instant and shouted, "What? Oops......"
Lord Chu also stood up, widened his eyes and asked, "What?" How much do you say? ”
Chu Yueli replied calmly: "Ten thousand taels of silver." ”
Lord Chu waved his hand and said, "Impossible!" Are you a money maker in Chu Mansion? Ten thousand taels? Do you know what 10,000 taels are?! That's ...... That's a lot! Last year's flood in the south, the emperor allocated 20,000 taels of silver for disaster relief! Disaster relief, have you heard of it?! Disaster relief! Only 20,000 taels were given for disaster relief! You...... You want 10,000 taels when you open your mouth?! Is...... Whew...... How unreasonable! ”
Chu Yueli blinked slowly and said, "It turns out that 10,000 taels is so much." ”
Lord Chu stopped, looked at Chu Yueli, and said with starry eyes: "Yes, ten thousand taels is a lot." Don't talk nonsense, you really don't know the rules. ”
Chu Yueli nodded and said, "Then ......"
The hearts of Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu, and even the hearts of all the listeners, slowly hung up with her long voice. Unconsciously, it rises very high and very high.
Chu Yueli squinted and smiled, "Then nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels." One less copper plate, and I won't get married! Actually, the North Point Cottage is quite comfortable. With that, he turned and left.
Lord Chu was so angry that he wanted to hit her, but he felt his brain buzz halfway through his hand, took two steps back in succession, and sat down on the chair, panting.
Mrs. Chu ripped off the silver needle on her face, gritted her teeth and shouted, "You dare not marry?!" ”
Chu Yueli didn't look back and said, "Why don't you send a corpse over?" ”
Everyone was shocked, but the corners of Mrs. Chu's mouth sank a lot in an instant.
