Chapter 41: Dowry

"I know that you must be complaining that your mother wants to be a matchmaker for you and Liu Rui, this matter is because your mother didn't find out the situation in advance, but you won't complain about your younger brother because of this, he is the only son of the master, his face represents the face of the entire Zhenguo Mansion, it is everyone's face, how can you say that you will fight!"

Liu Shi received the look from his daughter, and immediately stood up in understanding, staring at Guan Ronghua with disappointed eyes.

For a time, Guan Ronghua fell to the point of being known to everyone.

Although Guan Siyuan was still kneeling on the ground, the smugness in his eyes could no longer be stopped.

No matter how horizontal you are outside, Young Master Ben is the only son of the Guan family, and when you return to the Guan family, you want to pinch you, it is Ben Shao who has the final say!

Guan Ronghua didn't speak from beginning to end, her bright eyes were not shocked, she was still waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

After listening to the words of the mother and son, Guan Nian was even more disgusted with Guan Ronghua in his heart.

I saw him stretch out his hand and rub his eyebrows, looking at Guan Ronghua, "I already know the ins and outs of this matter, so I will punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors......"

Guan Nian had already come up with the idea of letting Guan Ronghua go back to Zhuangzi to live, and not long after she came back, the family affairs have not been interrupted.

But now that the people in the capital already know about the existence of Guan Ronghua, it is impossible to send them back to Zhuangzi, so they can only think about it behind closed doors.

"The father only listened to the second brother's words, doesn't he want to listen to his daughter's statement?"

Guan Ronghua said without being salty, with a slight casual light on her eyelids, but it was impossible to ignore what she said.

"You have already admitted that it was Siyuan who humiliated you on the street, what else is there to say!" Liu glared at Guan Ronghua fiercely, and his words were even more intense.

Guan Ronghua slowly turned around and looked at the Liu family, with a pair of phoenix eyes with a hint of determination, "Did I say that I was humiliating the second brother?" ”

"The second brother had a quarrel with an old man, and the Zhenguo Mansion was mentioned everywhere in his words, and then he also made the old man's granddaughter kowtow and admit his mistake, if Ronghua doesn't stop it, I'm afraid that today's rumors are not that the young master was beaten, but that the Zhenguo Mansion is bullying, and I am also thinking about the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion, and I also ask my father to know it!"

Guan Ronghua spoke sincerely, and hugged his fist at Guan Nian.

"You're talking nonsense, it's clear that the old man stepped on my upper first, is it wrong for me to make him apologize?"

Guan Siyuan's eyes widened, and he raised his voice to confront Guan Ronghua.

Guan Ronghua squinted at Guan Siyuan: "It's true that the old man is at fault first, but you ordered someone to destroy the old man's cart of vegetables, and finally beat the old man and broke his ribs, so it's too arrogant, the second brother represents the face of the Zhenguo Mansion, if I don't stop it quickly, the face of the Zhenguo Mansion is really lost!" ”

Guan Ronghua said righteously and awe-inspiringly, and two tears were still hanging in the corners of his eyes, as if he was really thinking about the Zhenguo Mansion.

Guan Siyuan wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say, and his face changed color for a while.

"Okay, you two siblings don't have to argue."

The old lady who had been sitting firmly in the main seat spoke.

Mrs. Guan looked at Guan Ronghua, "Grandmother also knows that Sister Hua is kind intentions, but Siyuan is a man after all, how can she be slapped in the face in the street?" And there are many ways to stop it, Sister Hua shouldn't be rude to Siyuan, if this matter is publicized, it will not be good for your reputation. ”

Guan Ronghua bowed slightly, as if he was listening carefully to the admonition, but his eyes showed a sharp edge.

What a smile with a knife hidden.

On the surface, he is saying that Guan Siyuan is misbehaving, but in fact, he is counting her wrong.

"I think today's incident is at fault for both sisters and brothers, they are both family, so there is no need to pursue it."

Mrs. Guan ignored the affairs of the family for a long time, but the words she said were still full of weight, and Guan Nian had no choice but to nod, "Then the punishment of Ronghua will be withdrawn." ”

The old lady nodded.

At this time, Guan Ruyue suddenly mentioned, "It's nothing for my sister to play with my brother, but my brother said that my sister is still with a man in white, it shouldn't be the sixth prince, if the sixth prince blames our family for today's incident, what can we do?" ”

Guan Ruyue frowned slightly, with a worried face.

Everyone also deepened their eyes because of her words.

Liu Shi exclaimed: "Yes, if the six princes have a bad influence on Siyuan because of this, and it affects Chunyu, then the work that Siyuan has spent all these years will not be in vain?" ”

Guan Ronghua was previously treating Mu Yinchen in the Six Princes' Mansion, so when it came to the man in white, everyone's first reaction was Mu Yinchen.

Guan Nian also darkened his eyes, and raised his eyes to look at Guan Ronghua: "Your brother's future is big, and the six princes are ......."

"Father don't be nervous, that person is not the sixth prince."

A smile tugged at the corner of Guan Ronghua's mouth, and he said frankly, "The one who walked with me was the third cousin of the Ye family, and I also saw the third cousin when I walked into the crowd." ”

Guannian raised his eyebrows: "Ye Mochen? He also went to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival? ”

Guan Nian still has some impressions of Ye Mochen, and he is exactly seventeen years old this year.

Guan Ronghua: "Yes, the third cousin was ordered by his grandfather to participate in this spring festival. ”

The children of the Ye family will enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examination whenever they reach the age of seventeen, and once there are children of the Ye family, the top of the list is basically out.

But the imperial examination of the children of the Ye family is not for fame and fortune, but just to test what they have learned.

Guan Siyuan nodded, "My father-in-law has always been strict in teaching future generations, and whenever the Ye family participates in the imperial examination, they must be at the top of the list." ”

He said as he straightened the corners of his clothes.

"When Mochen first arrived in the capital, he was not familiar with the place, and he was afraid of discomfort, so you invited someone to his home, and it happened that Siyuan was also preparing for the Spring Festival, and the two of them could also be companions."

Guannian stroked his beard and made a calculation in his heart.

The relationship between the Ye family and the Guan family is not good, and it should be eased after more than ten years.

Moreover, if Ye Mochen lives in his own house, with Old Man Ye's teachings, even if he is asked to think a little farther, it is a good thing.

The Guanjia Mansion is wide, but it's just a pair of chopsticks.

And the benefits......

However, Guan Ronghua poured cold water on him with a word, "My daughter also invited my third cousin to come to my house, but my third cousin told my daughter that my grandfather had warned him before entering Beijing that he must not have anything to do with the Zhenguo Mansion, so ......"

Guan Ronghua wanted to speak and stopped, but the meaning was already very clear.

Guan Nian's face showed embarrassment, and he coughed a few times, "Then that's it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent for a while, revealing a hint of embarrassment in the quiet.

"Look at me, how did I forget such a big thing!"

I saw that Liu suddenly knocked on his head and stood up with a spring breeze on his face.

"Mother, master, this morning Prince Jing ordered someone to send a gift list for Nacai."

Liu was so dizzy by Guan Siyuan's incident that he forgot about it for a while.

There was a crown like the moon knocking on the side of Jiang Qiyuan's ear, and when Jiang Qiyuan returned to the palace, he riveted his strength to get Prince Jing and Princess Jing to agree to this marriage.

Finally, a few days ago, Prince Jing finally relented and agreed.

The wedding date is set for the thirteenth of next month, and it is only more than half a month away from now, so this morning I ordered the people in the house to send the gift list of Nacai.

The old lady took the gift list and looked at it carefully.

Liu always paid attention to the expression of the old lady Guan, and saw that she was not unusual, so she should be more satisfied with this gift list.

Then he gradually relaxed, with a smile on his face, "Our Zhenguo Mansion has not been able to hold such a big happy event for many years, Yue'er married in the past, and it is the position of the prince's side concubine, so the daughter-in-law wants to give Ruyue some more dowry, so as not to be neglected by the people of Prince Jing's Mansion in the future, what does my mother think?" ”

After reading the gift list, the old lady thought about it, "Just do as you say!" ”

She looked at the gift list, and the things on it were not the specifications of marrying the side concubine, but according to the specifications of the princess.

Prince Jing's Mansion is so willing, and they will naturally not be stingy with the Zhenguo Mansion.

As everyone knows, this gift list was added by Jiang Qiyuan with his own money after receiving the gift list given by Prince Jing.

"Mother must give more dowry, I am just this one sister, I must let her marry beautifully!"

Guan Siyuan was also happy, but he was not stingy with Guan Ruyue's sister.

"Well, Yue'er's marriage is really sloppy, although it is only half a month, but you still have to prepare well." Guannian nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Liu hurriedly said: "I have been saving some things for these brothers and sisters all these years, and Yue'er's dowry has been prepared a long time ago, I think it is better to add those jewelry shops and silk villages in the east of the city to Yue'er, and then add some fertile land on the outskirts of the city, what does the lord think?" ”

Although the Liu family is in charge of the affairs of the back house, such a major event still has to be decided in the crown year.

Guan Nian stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "Just do what you say." ”

Liu smiled, "Okay! The concubine asked Mama to write these into the gift list and send them to Prince Jing's Mansion when the time came. ”

Liu Shi said as he raised his hand and beckoned Mama in.

Guan Ruyue also stood up and saluted to Guan Nian obediently: "Thank you, father." ”

"Mother, please slow!"

A somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded.

Guan Ronghua didn't have any expression on his face, only a pair of phoenix eyes were dyed with anger.

The shops that Liu said were all coincidentally all of her mother's dowry on the dowry list given to her by her third cousin.

If she didn't get this dowry list, would her mother's dowry be devoured by the Liu family little by little?

Guan Ronghua turned around, and looked at Guan Nian and Old Lady Guan with phoenix eyes, "Grandmother father, Ronghua feels that the dowry that his mother added to his sister may be inappropriate. ”

When Liu Shi heard this, his face was also a little ugly, and he said bitterly: "Ronghua, don't worry, when you get married in the future, your mother will not treat you badly, and if your sister has it, your mother will also prepare it for you." ”

Liu thought that Guan Ronghua felt that he was favoring one over the other and made a generous appearance.

However, it is not up to her to decide how much dowry she will give to Guan Ronghua at that time.

But seeing Guan Ronghua shook his head lightly, "Mother misunderstood what I meant, I also hope that my sister will live well, and it is naturally good to add some dowry, but it's just ......"

Guan Ronghua's eyes suddenly showed a touch of truthfulness, and he raised his voice slightly, "Those shops are the dowries of the biological mother, and the mother's arrangement is probably inappropriate." ”
