Chapter 109: The lesser of the two monsters

Wang Xie's wine got Mrs. Xie's reply, and after thinking about it, Li Ran planned to marry without a dowry, it was not a trivial matter, and he couldn't be the master.

Before going up to report, he decided to find General Xie first, which would be safer.

Xie Ze was in Jinghua Hall and the prince to calculate the military strength and military supplies, the king sacrifice wine quietly asked, I heard that he was busy, and was about to come back in a while, the prince heard the movement, heard that it was the king sacrifice wine, and raised his voice to call in.

The king sacrificed wine and talked about the dowry in a few words.

The prince looked at Xie Ze, Xie Ze couldn't see any expression on his face, he only nodded, indicating that he did know about it.

"Are you going to let her marry into your general's mansion with a sedan chair, and there is no dowry at all?"

The prince looked Xie Ze up and down, and he couldn't say anything on his face.

"Hmm." Xie Ze nodded.

The prince raised his hand and patted it on his forehead, spun around in place, and patted Xie Ze's shoulder down, "General Xie, think about it, think about it." You beat the gong and drum, and you took a lonely sedan chair into the house?

If you think about it, just a lonely sedan chair, through the streets and alleys, from the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, into your general's mansion, pitiful, pitiful? ”

Xie Ze frowned slightly, looking at the prince and not speaking.

"The so-called scenery marry, where is the scenery? The scenery is all in the dowry, ten miles of red makeup.

I know you don't care if this dowry is a dowry or not, but you have to think about it for other people's girls, this is the face of other people's girls.

Okay, okay, I know that girl is a weird like you, and she doesn't care, what kind of face, but you ......

This, alas, it's so humiliating! ”

The prince looked at Xie Ze's expressionless face and spread his hands, he didn't know what to say.

"Then I'll do the dowry for her." Xie Ze replied.

The prince sighed, stunned for a moment, and then smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, good, good." Hearing General Xie's words, the dowry should be handled according to the scenery, and the money will be paid to the general's mansion. ”

The crown prince held his hands at the king's sacrificial wine stall with a wry smile.

Compared with not wanting a dowry to marry into a sedan chair, Lin Feng gave money to make a dowry for his daughter-in-law, which is quite normal and quite customary.

He didn't ask for more.

Watching the king's sacrificial wine come out of the main hall, the prince looked at Xie Ze and asked, "That girl of yours sold the congratulatory gift she received yesterday today?" ”

"Well, she told me yesterday that they were too valuable, and she said that she deserved it, and she originally planned to return it all."

"It's too impersonal to return them all." The prince answered.

"Well, she said the same thing, and asked me if I could give it to the widow and orphan, and I asked her to send it to Taixue to run a girls' school."

Xie Ze said, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

The prince glanced at the smile obliquely, raised his hand and patted Xie Ze, "You are really blessed, this little girl, you know very well in your heart." ”

After a pause, the prince continued: "Also, in terms of unkindness, I am really a couple with you, made in heaven. ”

Xie Ze glanced at the prince and didn't answer.

……………………

The second grandmother Cao got a reply: the dowry should be done, but the silver was withdrawn from the general's mansion, and it took a while to react.

"Spending money from the General's Mansion? What is this called? How can there be such a thing? Never heard of it! ”

The second grandmother Cao Shi faced the second grandfather Li Qingping, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it was a string.

"It was General Xie who meant it, and the prince also nodded." Li Qingping smiled wryly.

When he heard this from the king's sacrificial wine, he was even more shocked than the Cao family, and the king's sacrificial wine also smiled bitterly.

Alas, General Xie and the four ladies of their family are really right.

……………………

Mrs. Zhang stood at the door of Li Qingrou's bedroom, took the box from the little girl, motioned for the little girl to step back, carried the box herself, and entered the bedroom.

"Get out!"

Li Qingrou lay face in, and scolded without looking back.

"Arou, it's A-Niang, get up and drink a bowl of soup."

Mrs. Zhang put down the suitcase, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and gently pushed Li Qingrou.

"Auntie!" Li Qingrou sat up and looked at Mrs. Zhang with teary eyes.

"Have a bowl of soup, you haven't eaten in a day."

Mrs. Zhang opened the box and brought out a bowl of soup to Li Qingrou.

"I can't drink it, A-Niang, you tell your grandmother, I won't marry into the Sun family, I won't marry Sun Daqing, marry me into the Sun family, marry Daqing, I won't be able to live."

Li Qingrou didn't finish her words, she was already crying.

"Good boy."

Mrs. Zhang gently patted Li Qingrou's back, and waited for her crying to be lowered before she said softly: "Daqing is a good boy......"

"I don't care if he's good or not, I just won't marry him!" Li Qingrou began to cry again.

"Arou, a woman's family always has to marry, marry Daqing, know the roots, he treats you well, it's better than marrying someone else, the third son has already made a marriage, isn't it?" Mrs. Zhang patted Li Qingrou gently.

"The eldest sister picks the person she likes to marry, the person is chosen by herself, the second sister picks the person she likes to marry, and the person is also picked by herself, why do you have to marry me to the person I don't want to marry? I don't want to marry Sun Daqing! ”

Li Qingrou looked at Mrs. Zhang, tears flowing.

"My wife said that she loved me the most, and A-Niang, you also said that you loved me the most, and that's how you hurt me?

My wife promised me to the Sun family, she didn't ask me, she knew that I didn't want to marry Daqing, she didn't even ask me, she let me out.

Does my wife really care for me?

Auntie, you're also there, you thtn don't speak? Do you really hurt me? It's all fake! You don't hurt me! ”

The more Li Qingrou spoke, the more aggrieved she became, covering her face, and her crying shoulders shrugged.

"The fourth sister's family affair has also been decided, and it has been given to General Xie, who is married."

Looking at the grief-stricken Li Qingrou, Mrs. Zhang's voice softened.

"Huh?" Li Qingrou's crying stopped abruptly, "Who? ”

"General Xie, the will has been down for two or three days, and you will get married before the year, and your second brother and sister-in-law are busy preparing a dowry for her."

Mrs. Zhang's words paused.

"This dowry was also prepared for her by the General's Mansion with silver, saying yes, how to prepare the scenery.

General Xie was very kind to her. ”

Li Qingrou looked at Mrs. Zhang blankly, and for a while, she realized that General Xie was about to get married, and that someone could marry General Xie.

"Auntie, tell me this...... I don't have to marry Daqing? ”

"The fourth sister is going to marry into the General's Mansion, why don't you have to marry Daqing?"

Mrs. Zhang's shoulders fell down and looked at Li Qingrou with deep disappointment.

"Then why are you telling me this? Is it to tell me how well she married and how miserable I am? ”

Li Qingrou looked at her aunt with a disappointed look on her face, and became angry.

"Yes." Mrs. Zhang is a word, and her answer is straightforward.

"Auntie!" Li Qingrou exclaimed in disbelief.

"The third prince took a fancy to her, the old lady of the Cao family and the San Lang of the Cao family also took a fancy to her, and the Duke of Lu also took a fancy to her, and now, General Xie has asked for a will to marry her.

If you have this ability, then you don't need to marry Daqing. ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Li Qingrou and said a word.

"That's because she's good-looking!" Li Qingrou screamed when Mrs. Zhang said this.

"Ah Rou, you are so strong-worded, in this family, in front of Ah Niang, they all love you and spoil you, and they don't care about you, and they will marry into the Sun family in the future, you can't do this!"

Mrs. Zhang frowned and looked at Li Qingrou.

"Auntie." Li Qingrou said with despair.

"General Zhou said that the fourth sister was taken captive, rescued by General Xie, and followed General Xie on a rapid march for two or three days, riding on a horse, with one hand and two legs, grinding flesh and blood, and almost did not survive."

"What's wrong with this? Me too! Li Qingrou glared at Mrs. Zhang.

"Have you learned to ride a horse? With no one leading the horse, can you run the horse?

Before being taken captive, the fourth sister had never been on a horse. General Zhou said that she was thrown on horseback by Adjutant General Pan, and began to follow General Xie on a rapid march and sneak in the mountains and forests, can you do it too? ”

Mrs. Zhang's expression was a little tired.

"Auntie, you just said that I am not good, how can she be good?" Li Qingrou began to cry again.

"A-Niang is here to tell you that you are not as good as her, far inferior. It is your blessing that you can marry Daqing. ”

"It's not!" Li Qingrou interrupted Mrs. Zhang's words.

"This family affair has been decided, and the wedding date has also been agreed, that is, five days later, you will become a parent, you and Daqing will be buried, and you will leave for your father's army.

Since you say you can do it, when you get to the army, you can try it and see if it works. ”

"Auntie!" Li Qingrou screamed and lost her voice.

"Re Xiaoli got married, it was your wife who thought about you. This can be regarded as your filial piety for your aunt, and in the future, no matter what, the Sun family will not be able to divorce you. ”

Mrs. Zhang's words paused for a moment, and then she continued: "Even if you die, you will also be carried into the Sun family."

Don't make a fuss, get up and eat something, and before you get married, learn to ride a horse, and you must be able to run a horse.

After you got married, the Sun family is now in a busy time, you can't take care of these, you follow Daqing to the army, you can't run a horse. ”

"Auntie." Li Qingrou grabbed Mrs. Zhang, who was about to stand up, crying and shaking her head.

"Arou, Daqing is a good boy, and he will definitely be able to treat you well in the future. Get up and get something to eat, and I'll have someone take you to learn how to ride a horse in a moment. ”

Mrs. Zhang pulled out her sleeve from Li Qingrou's hand and went out.

Li Qingrou stopped crying, and sat dumbfounded, like a puppet.
