Chapter 250: Rhetoric
With less to worry about, Suning'er can now settle down and prepare for marriage.
After the Zhao family was hired, the agreed wedding date was next month.
Thinking that she would marry into the Zhao family in another month, Suning'er's heart began to become nervous.
The Zhao family is huge, and it is not as easy to deal with as the Su family, and they have to face a lot of sophistication every day, although there is a lot of headache about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the head of the third room, Su Ning'er, always feels that he is not a person who can get along well.
On the day of the appointment, she heard that Zhao Pingguang and Su Jing had some verbal disputes over the dowry.
The bride price and dowry were originally agreed upon in advance, but Zhao Pingguang had a lot of complaints.
The dowry of the Zhao family was as high as 100,000 yuan of silver, while the dowry of the Su family was only 50,000 yuan.
When discussing marriage with King Qing's mansion, the Su family once said that they would give a generous amount of compensation, but now that they have changed the court, they are not only exempted from paying compensation, but even half of the dowry has been saved, which makes Zhao Pingguang very dissatisfied.
As for the reason for reducing the dowry, Suning'er had already been clear, and it was also decided after discussing with Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yuanbai.
Zhao Pingguang came to the house to make trouble again because of this matter, which shows that he does not accept this family business from the bottom of his heart.
Fortunately, after the Qi family explained to him clearly, and Su Jing promised to give the Zhao family a dividend of 10,000 yuan of silver every year, Zhao Pingguang extinguished the resentment in his heart.
Two days later, Zhao Yuanbai learned of Zhao Pingguang's unhappiness in the house on the day of the appointment, and specially came to Su Mansion to apologize, and came to see Suning'er after being counted by Su Jing and Zhou.
Su Ning'er learned that he was scolded by the Zhou family in the front yard, but he didn't even dare to say half a word of defense, and he was amused and angry for a while.
In the past, this stunned young man was in front of the Zhou family, if the two of them didn't quarrel, they would not give up, but now for their own sake, they are willing to endure the scolding of the Su family, which is really surprising.
Suning'er sat on the swing in the yard and pretended to be cold and ignored him.
Zhao Yuanbai sat beside her, looked at her gloomy face, and said timidly: "A-Ning, this matter is indeed my father's, don't take it to heart." ”
Su Ning'er pursed her lips and said coldly: "Zhao Yuanbai, you didn't say this to me that day, you said that your father has accepted this family business." ”
"Of course", Zhao Yuanbai smiled stiffly: "I, Aye, naturally agree to this family matter, and I Aya is also very clear about the current situation of the Su family, plus the date of marriage is so urgent, so he has no objection to me talking to him about the bride price and dowry that day." ”
"Even so, he still has to argue over this matter on the day of his next appointment, isn't that obviously embarrassing", Suninger said angrily.
"Yes, yes, he is indeed excessive, for this reason, my ancestor has already blamed Aya", Zhao Yuanbai said softly: "Old ancestor also sent a message, waiting for A-Ning to enter the mansion, if Aya is not willing to stay in the mansion, let him go back to Yangzhou to do some business in the tea house." ”
"Back to Yangzhou?"
Suning'er turned sideways and glanced at him.
"Not bad", Zhao Yuanbai continued: "Most of our Zhao family tea houses are in Yangzhou, and now we have to help the imperial court sell tea from the south, and I also want to open a few more mansions and stores in the south after the New Year, so that Aya can go back to Yangzhou to do some work, which is the safest." ”
"There are a lot of people in charge of your Zhao family, how can you let Ling Zun suffer this", Suning'er knew that he was thinking about himself, but this didn't mean that people would poke her backbone, so he hurriedly said: "I have too much gossip when I become a parent with you, how can my daughter-in-law drive her father-in-law back to the ancestral house as soon as she passes the door, you, don't you want to trap me in injustice." ”
"It's not so serious", Zhao Yuanbai said disapprerovitically: "This Beijing is not as good as Yangzhou, the human situation is complicated, Yangzhou always needs someone to take care of it, and the old ancestor made this arrangement for the sake of family business." ”
Suning'er thought for a while: "Then Ling Zun is willing to go back to Yangzhou?" ”
"Since it is the arrangement of the old ancestor, Aya naturally has to obey."
Su Ning'er immediately realized that this matter was not as simple as he said, and it was because of the matter of hiring, Mrs. Zhao wanted to punish Zhao Pingguang.
She smiled lightly: "You don't have to let the old lady force Ling Zun in this matter, after all, he is also old, and if he leaves his children to guard the ancestral house, he will naturally have a lot of complaints." ”
Zhao Yuanbai listened to her heart-warming words, his face suddenly disappeared, and he said happily: "If I, Aye, knew that A-Ning was so deeply righteous, I would definitely be grateful." ”
"I don't know what is deeply righteous", Su Ning'er buried her head and muttered in a low voice, then heard Zhao Yuanbai sigh with complacent: "I know that A-Ning you will always be so understanding, I just hate that I couldn't marry you earlier, and I wasted so many good times in vain." ”
"You think it's beautiful", Suning'er glared at him with disdain, and whispered: "If it weren't for the lack of choice, I wouldn't want to suffer that nest so early." ”
When Zhao Yuanbai heard her say this, he suddenly became a little anxious, and said solemnly: "A-Ning, you, you won't regret agreeing to marry me, right?" ”
"Of course I regret it, my intestines are all repentant", Su Ning'er scolded and scolded: "You coaxed me with clever words to agree to marry you, saying that you would treat me well, but, but before I passed the door, I would be so angry." ”
"I know, I know, this matter is indeed mine, so why don't I hurry up and apologize."
Su Ning'er watched him behave so humbly, most of the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she thought that he had just been scolded by the second room, she really couldn't bear to be angry with him again, calmed the anger in her heart, and said softly with concern: "My second aunt and second uncle didn't embarrass you too much, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter", Zhao Yuanbai laughed as if nothing happened: "Your second aunt's sick appearance, I can still deal with her, but I am just scolded a few words, and I am not so fragile." ”
"Haha", Suning'er couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth and said: "I didn't expect Zhao Langjun, who has always been arrogant, to be so docile and well-behaved. ”
Imagining that he was as docile as a little lamb in front of the Zhou family, Suning'er couldn't stop being happy.
In this way, it can be regarded as a flattening point.
No matter how many people there are in the Zhou family, they are also elders, and now they look sick, and Suning'er can't bear to worry about her anymore.
Zhao Yuanbai can have such a mind, but she is very pleased.
Zhao Yuanbai suddenly leaned over, took her palm, and said solemnly: "Since you marry me, I naturally want to protect you and protect your entire Su family, and I will be your support in the future, of course I want to leave the most gentle and well-behaved side to my most beloved lady." ”
Suning'er didn't expect him to come to such an affectionate confession again, and he was so frightened that his ears were hot, and he said: "You, where did you learn these sweet words, I don't believe you, it's all rhetoric." ”
"Even if it's rhetoric, it's coming out of the top of my heart, and it's only for A-Ning."
"Hmph, I don't want to listen, if you fail me in the future, I will send you to be the king of ducks."
"Duck King, what Duck King?"
"Oh, just keep you and the poultry in one place."
