Chapter 7 Promise of a substitute for marriage
Let's start, Mu Yingbao really thought about it, but when she thought about it so deeply, she suddenly felt that this matter was quite interesting.
Anyway, it's boring, you might as well complete the herdsman's family, and it's a little annoying to live in the herdsman's house for a few days.
Looking up and down the whole house, that is, this Anne next to her is quite pleasing to the eye.
"Auntie, in fact, you also want me to agree to marry my eldest sister, right?" Mu Yingbao had a plan in her heart, so she immediately expressed it.
Well? Dong suddenly heard Mu Yingbao's straightforward question, and he couldn't react for a while, and he didn't know how to respond.
Say yes? Didn't you tell the girl that the foreshadowing before was her own meaning?
But isn't it? I have given up on influencing this person, and I have decided to use means when the time comes, and it seems that there is no need to continue to pretend in front of this girl. What kind of identity do you have, Mrs. Taishou!
chose her to do this, that is to look up to her and give her face.
Thinking like this, Dong's head rose slightly, with the majesty of the herdsman's housemother; "In this way, it is the eldest aunt who I have looked away. Say, what conditions? ”
Dong was quite annoyed at the moment, not annoyed that his arrangement had always had no effect. Instead, I suddenly realized that this little girl was not as simple as it seemed. The whole house was deceived by her and deceived by her!
"Well, that's right, Yingbao I haven't seen the world, and I don't have the seven-trick exquisite heart of a great aunt, so I like to do things with straightforward people. If there is something, how good it is to say it clearly.
It's not impossible for me to marry, the conditions, on the basis of the original dowry of the eldest sister, you can add this amount of silver taels. Mu Yingbao said, holding up a finger.
"Add another thousand taels? Okay, that's it. "Dong is very happy and responds very generously.
His face was full of ridicule, and he said, no one has trouble with silver. As for the daughter's dowry, how can it be according to the original list, how much is it, and what is there, it is not up to me to say it.
"Auntie, you misunderstood, it's 10,000 taels. The eldest uncle is the emperor and the Taishou, and our herdsman family has a big business, and 10,000 taels is just a drop in the bucket. saved the happiness of the eldest sister's life, and she can find a better husband in the future.
And I have to take it for the rest of my life, what's more, I am more risky, I have entered the Xue family, even if their family does not pursue it, does not make trouble, and does not regret the marriage and retirement, will I be able to live better in the Xue family in the future?
In case their family gets angry, it's not impossible to beat me to death!
The eldest aunt is an understanding person, think about it, I just need an extra 10,000 taels of silver to accompany myself, is this too much? What's more, the dowry gift sent by the Xue family at that time must not be light, right? My niece's condition is so simple that it can be done, and I will do it.
I have no father or mother, niece, and I can do it myself. If the eldest aunt thinks that the amount of 10,000 taels is too big to be the master, then go back and wait for the eldest uncle to come back, and the two of them will discuss it carefully. Isn't there still two days left, just in time? Mu Yingbao said as she got up and poured a cup of tea, and gently placed it in front of Dong with both hands.
Dong was very annoyed, obviously she was just a wild girl who was not recognized by the Mu family, how could she use such a tone to negotiate conditions with herself in turn? It's 10,000 taels, it's so easy to say, is 10,000 taels a small amount? Is this girl a bandit?
However, since she can agree to marry as a substitute, it is a good thing.
"Do you think you're worth the price? That dowry is enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime. Dong didn't like the attitude and tone of the girl in front of him.
Even if the Mu family really needs her right now, it will not be her turn to talk about the conditions herself.
Oops, finally I can't bear it anymore, don't pretend? Mu Yingbao smiled unscrupulously and looked at Dong with a smile; "In your eyes, my niece is probably not worth the price. However, I don't think so about my niece, I see myself as a human being, and I have what kind of value I have in my position.
The niece thinks that her niece's worth is more than this price, and her niece's lifelong happiness and freedom are still alive, which cannot be estimated by money. Even if you don't take your niece, your niece will live well and starve.
Since your shepherd's family needs a niece now, you have to show some sincerity, right?
Auntie, don't worry, don't think of your niece as a treacherous person, your niece has no father or mother, she just wants to get more money for herself, it's as simple as that.
In the past few days, the two aunts and sisters in the house have taken turns to come over and talk about everything, and the niece understands no matter how dull she is. The niece has never seen the world, and she is not stupid. After Mu Yingbao said her conditions, she felt that she had deviated from her stupid and sweet personality, and hurriedly recycled it.
When Dong Shi heard this, he looked at Mu Yingbao's face, and became even more depressed, obviously feeling that something was wrong with this girl, but there was nothing wrong with her explanation.
"You have brought me for this purpose, and if I do not allow it, then you will not keep me here any longer. Even if I stay, I won't be as happy as I was in the previous days.
In this case, it is better to respond, get more silver, even if you are in the name of a widow, you are still down-to-earth, aunt, do you say yes or no?
I also know that even if I don't agree, you have a way to let me get on the sedan chair and enter the Xue family. But, in that case, do you think I'm really willing to be this cannon fodder? I'm restless over there, and it's not good to say more and more things. Mu Yingbao calmly analyzed it to Dong.
Dong frowned, stood up, and walked out without saying anything.
"What is the dowry of the eldest sister, my aunt tried to tempt me, but I have already said it, it is really rich." Mu Yingbao didn't get up to give it away, but looked at the thing that was about to step out of the threshold, and said another sentence leisurely.
Dong Shi stumbled under his feet and almost tripped when he heard it, and scolded in his heart, it must be Shen Fang's brainless idiot!
Anne sent Dong away in fear, and when she returned to the house, she saw the man holding a hammer and continuing to smash pine seeds to eat. It's like no one has been here before. Anne was a little confused, what kind of person is this treasure girl?
In the past, when you looked at those who had no heart, lungs and no brains, you knew how to eat. Just now I saw what she said to her wife, and she actually had the courage to bargain with her wife.
Anne was even more unsure, if this person really had a brain, how could she dare to bargain with her wife as an orphan girl? Why?
"Anne, what kind of person do you think of this girl now? A naïve fool, or a scheming one? Mu Yingbao looked up and asked with a smile.
"Ah, this, this slave doesn't understand either." Anne replied honestly.
Mu Yingbao nodded with satisfaction, that's right, even you have seen through it, how can this girl be mixed up in the future.
She is leisurely, and she continues to eat and drink.
That Xue Shizi personally went to the Mu Mansion to inquire on the first day, and saw with his own eyes that Mu Jinyi was holding a jade pendant he had given before, with tears rippling in his eyes, and he was in a pretty good mood.
No matter how the old guy is, at least the eldest girl of the Mu family is still really in love with herself, worried, and reluctant......
