043. Dowry

"A spring rain and a warmth", the Sifang City has slowly warmed up after four or five spring rains, people have taken off their thick winter clothes and put on pretty spring shirts, and the streets and alleys of the Sifang City have become bright for a while.

Lu Youzhen found someone to calculate a good day, and walked from the Lu Mansion to the Su family with the dowry Haohao. The Su family also got the news early, and they all gathered in the main entrance hall of the Su family to wait at this time.

There were many onlookers along the way, and the people in Sifang City didn't know much about the Lu family, they only knew that they were related to the Ningguo Mansion in the capital, so they all wanted to see what kind of dowry the nobles of this family had prepared for their daughters-in-law.

Lu Youzhen smiled and didn't mind being inquired about. At the gate of the Su Mansion, there were already sharp-eyed subordinates who saw it from a distance, and hurriedly entered the mansion to report, because when Lu Youzhen walked to the gate of the Su Mansion, everyone in the Su family, including the old lady, came out to greet him.

Lu Youzhen got off the horse and greeted the Su family members one by one, and secretly glanced at Su Xi - the little girl wore a pink gauze skirt today, and she also deliberately painted a peach blossom makeup - Su Xi showed a sweet smile to Lu Youzhen, as if it was the charming peach blossom essence.

If it weren't for Lu Feng reminding him by his side, he was afraid that Lu Youzhen would lose his temper at this time, he came back to his senses, didn't dare to look at Su Xi again, and turned his head and ordered his subordinates to carry the dowry into Su Mansion.

When the dowry entered the Su Mansion and was placed in the open space in front of the main hall, Lu Feng got the signal from his master's eyes, handed over the dowry gift list to Master Su, and ordered someone to open the cage.

The crowd of onlookers refused to leave, and they all gathered in front of the Su Mansion to watch the excitement, and the number of people with good deeds counted the cages wrapped in red silk in that place, a total of forty-eight lifts.

This number is not even ranked among the nobles in the capital, and it is only decent in a wealthy realm like Sifang City, but some well-informed people say that Lu You is really just a concubine, and everyone will understand.

The cage was opened one by one, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade are naturally needless to say, they are good things at a glance, and most of these dowries are not given by the emperor and are also made in the Ouchi Mansion, which are things that ordinary people can't buy even if they have money.

This made the onlookers very envious, and they were still very attentive when they wanted to come to the Lu family, although the amount was ordinary, but the things inside were real.

Master Su only nodded after reading the gift list, and ordered someone to carry Su Xi's small warehouse in the Lanxi Pavilion, and asked her to take it away with the dowry when the time came, and then invited Lu Youzhen into the house to drink tea, Lu Youzhen naturally did not agree.

The onlookers saw that there was nothing to see, so they all dispersed.

The dowry of the Lu Mansion was all handled by Mrs. Lu, and before the next appointment, she also symbolically invited the Pei family to discuss with the Lu Mansion, so the Su family knew in advance how many dowries there would be.

At this time, there is nothing to say that they are not satisfied, anyway, the Pei family values Lu Youzhen's kindness to Su Xi more.

As soon as he entered the house and sat down, Lu Youzhen took out a box slightly larger than a palm and said to everyone in the Su Mansion: "I know that Xi'er is a treasure in your hearts in the Su family, and Youzhen hereby promises to treat her like a treasure in the future."

"This appointment was prepared by my mother herself, and everything is done according to the rules, and I don't have much to say, this box-"

Lu Youzhen handed the box to Master Su and continued: "-The dowry just now is the dowry given by the Lu Mansion to the Su family, and this box is the dowry that Youzhen gave to Xi'er. ”

Master Su was very curious, he took the box and opened it, only to see that there was only a stack of papers inside, "Is it silver?" The eldest man guessed, and when he opened it, he was startled.

After a cursory flip, Master Su's expression had changed from surprise to calm, and he asked Lu Youzhen to go to the next ear room with him alone, and he didn't know what to say, and when he came out, the things had already been taken back into the box.

No matter how curious the others were, they only invited Su Xi and said, "Since it is Youzhen's intention, you can take it well, and bring it with you when you get married." ”

Su Xi took the box and wanted to open it to take a look, but Master Su stopped: "It's just a stack of silver tickets, although there are a lot of them, there is nothing to look at, just take it back and count it for a while." This is also a disguised way of telling others that there is a silver ticket in the box.

"What my uncle said is reasonable, Xi'er just count it slowly later." Lu Youzhen smiled and agreed.

Seeing that her father and Lu Youzhen said this, Su Xi didn't insist, and casually threw the herbs serving by her side for safekeeping.

Looking at her casual appearance, Lu Youzhen's face did not change much, and she was still smiling, but the eldest man's expression was stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

Lu You really left the Su family after lunch, and when he left, he also abducted Su Xi, of course, the small box had been locked in the box where Su Xi usually put his valuables.

"What's in that box?" Su Xi never had a chance to open it, but her intuition told her that it was definitely not silver, her father's business was big, and she had never seen how much silver, where would she have such a strange expression.

"It's nothing, it's all my belongings." Lu Youzhen looked at her with a smile, "In the future, I will really be poor and white, is Miss Su Er willing to support me?" ”

Su Xi didn't know how much Lu Youzhen was worth, but when she heard him say this, Su Xi was very happy, she raised her head and said arrogantly: "It depends on your performance." ”

"Second Miss, don't worry, after you get down, you will be your pawn, you let the east never go west." Lu Youzhen assured seriously.

"What a pawn, I don't want a pawn, you are my future father-in-law." Su Xi pretended to be angry, and ran forward with a stomp of his foot.

When Lu Youzhen heard "the future of Xianggong", his heart naturally blossomed, and he said "yes" again and again, with an expression of "everything the lady said was right", and chased after Su Xi closely.

The two came to Sanqi Hutong again, the small home that only belonged to the two of them had been renovated, all of them were decorated according to what they said last time, Su Xi wanted to come and have a look.

As soon as he walked into the alley, he heard a few children shouting about "illegitimate children" and "wild seeds", and the first thing Su Xi thought of was the neighbor next door he saw last time, and hurriedly ran forward.

Sure enough, it was one of the twins of the next house, the child fell to the ground, a jar was broken next to him, and the salty soy sauce was sprinkled all over the ground, the child's face was full of grievances, tears swirled in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to shed it.

He stood up and retorted loudly: "I'm not an illegitimate child, I have a father, he's just too busy to come home every day." ”

Among the children opposite, a taller child came out, with an arrogant expression, and pushed him down again, and said, "Who doesn't know that your mother is a prostitute who can be a husband, and you still have a father?" Do you know who your dad is? Oh, I see, all men in the world can be your father. ”

After saying that, he laughed, and the children who were with him also leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

The child's eyes were on fire, and he didn't care that the other party was a head taller than him, and he was about to beat someone when he pounced, but in the end, with thin arms and thin legs, the other party was not only bigger than him, but also had many more people than him, and he was punched several times in the blink of an eye.
