Chapter 240: Dowry

Watching Zhao Yuanbai leave, the tall and handsome back swayed leisurely in the breeze, with an eclectic free and easy.

There was an indescribable feeling that lingered in Suning'er's heart and couldn't be dispersed for a long time.

After all, she is seven or eight years older than this stunned young man, and if she were in her own world, she would never want to accept such a somewhat immature relationship, let alone get married.

It's ridiculous to think about it, my own negligence was not only conquered by his rhetoric, but also developed some attachment to him, how can this be good.

Quietly staring at the topaz arm on her wrist, she was distracted for a long time, and Shuang'er said happily on the side: "Yiniang, you have changed." ”

Suning'er rolled her eyes angrily: "I, how did I change?" ”

Shuang'er smiled secretly again: "Yiniang is starting to care about Zhao Langjun." ”

"You ghost girl", Suning'er nodded the tip of her thin nose, and refused to admit it: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

The master and servant entered the courtyard with a smile, and saw Su Jing and Qi standing in front of the door with a serious face, posing as if they wanted to ask the teacher for their crimes.

Suning'er glanced at the two of them in astonishment, and said in surprise: "Auntie, second uncle, why are you here?" ”

Su Jing wrapped his hands in his sleeves, kept a calm face, and asked sharply: "Aning, where did you fool around with San Lang today?" ”

Su Ning'er didn't dare to tell him the truth about herself and Zhao Yuanbai going to visit Xiuniang, and she was afraid of Su Jing's reproach, so she prevaricated casually in a hurry: "Second uncle misunderstood, Ning'er just went out to discuss some family matters with San Lang." ”

"What is there in your daughter's family to discuss with him alone, it's simply unseemly."

Su Jing tightened his face, scolded her angrily, and turned around to leave.

When Suning'er inadvertently saw him turn his back, a hint of evil smile faintly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She immediately sensed that this Su Jing was scaring herself.

Qi Shi looked at her strangely, standing aside and never speaking, waiting for Su Jing to leave, she casually glanced at the arm on Su Ning'er's wrist, and finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Suning'er guessed that the uncle and sister-in-law must have seen her come back with Zhao Yuanbai.

Thinking that Zhao Yuanbai hugged himself off the horse just now, such an intimate appearance, Su Ning'er also felt a little ashamed, walked up to Qi Shi with a pout, and said coquettishly: "A-Niang, how did you and your second uncle become so insidious?" ”

Qi Shi looked at Shuang'er and Yin Xiu with kind eyes, quickly put away his smile, and said leisurely: "Your second uncle was a little angry, but seeing that Ning'er and Yuan Bai were reconciled, he was not angry. ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Suning'er's arm with joy, and couldn't wait to ask: "Tell A-Niang quickly, what method did Yuanbai's kid use to make Ning'er change her mind?" ”

Suning'er has never seen such an unorthodox Qi family, to say that although the Shangjia family is not as cumbersome and strict as those scholarly families, they still value the education of their children.

She followed Zhao Yuanbai out to mess around today, but no one who was an elder was really angry, which surprised her.

Thinking about it, the Qi family and Su Jing really hoped that she could reunite with Zhao Yuanbai, so they were too excited, and they couldn't bear to care about their mistakes anymore.

Qi Shi glanced at the bracelet on her hand again, and continued to ask: "This arm is Yuan Bai's late mother, and A-Niang has seen exactly the same as this one when she was in Yangzhou before." ”

Suning'er was quite puzzled, King Qing gave him so many gifts before, and she had never seen her so careful, but today she was just an arm, but she cared so much.

Suning'er deliberately put on a sullen expression and asked, "It seems that A-Niang really likes that stunned young man?" ”

"Silly child", Qi Shi took her to the side of Tanghua Courtyard, and scolded softly: "Whether A-Niang likes it or not is secondary, the most important thing is Ning'er, you like it yourself." ”

After a pause, she stretched her eyebrows and continued: "But Yuanbai, this kid A-Niang understands, you have been through ups and downs over the years, he is really interested in you, hand you over to him, A-Niang is a hundred rest assured." ”

Su Ning'er suddenly thought of the Zhou family, although she is no longer in charge of affairs for the time being, she is always the eldest lady in the second room.

The woman has always disliked Zhao Yuanbai, and Suning'er can't help but have some concerns: "Auntie, second aunt, she ...... this family business"

Before Suning'er finished speaking, the Qi family replied happily: "Your aunt, you don't have to worry about it, before marrying into the Qingwang Mansion, our Su family had to take a good dowry, although your aunt didn't mention it, she naturally minded a little in her heart, now that you and Yuan Bai are married, our two families can be regarded as a good match, so she can accept it happily without this dowry." ”

After thinking about it, Qi's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly, and he looked at Suning'er uneasily: "Although there is a lot of income from the porcelain kiln this year, your second uncle is thinking about expanding the porcelain kiln, and the money spent is very huge, but he also left a rich dowry for Ning'er, but A-Niang also understands the current difficulties in the house, so she took the initiative to make the decision for you, minus half, and left a dowry worth 50,000 silver coins for you. ”

Suning'er is not a greedy person, minus the dowry of 50,000 yuan, although it is a little distressing, but the Su family is indeed a very critical year this year, the silk business invested a lot last year, and now it is not yet time to close the net, but Zhao Yuanbai wants to choose to finish the family affairs before the end of the year, which is indeed a little difficult for the Su family.

In fact, 50,000 yuan of silver is already an astronomical amount in her opinion, but it is not worth mentioning to a giant businessman like the Su family.

She smiled loosely and said magnificently: "I know that the second uncle really loves Ning'er and is willing to give everything to Ning'er, but A-Niang also said that at the moment, our house is not rich, and the dowry does not have to be dealt with, San Lang will not blame me, and I still have food, and I will not be poor when I marry into the Zhao family in the future." ”

"Silly girl, A-Niang is such a daughter as you, so naturally I want to fight for you more", Qi Shi stared at her with love and pity, and sighed lightly: "It's not the right time to blame this family affair, if you survive this year, Ning'er will think about it again." ”

As she spoke, her words changed: "But your second uncle also said that as long as our Su family's business has been thriving, we will send you 10,000 yuan of private money every year in the future, which can be regarded as compensation." ”

Suning'er was moved when she heard it, but she was extremely sad.

is about to move out of this mansion, and the Qi family is still carefully planning for herself, and she really doesn't know how to repay this heavy affection.

After all, she is not her biological daughter, and she has no way to tell her the truth about it.

After Zhao Yuanbai's incident, Suninger already knows very well that even if she states the facts, she may not be believed.

What she can do now is to make her life better and better, only the stronger she is, the happier the Qi family can survive in this mansion.

Holding Qi's palm tightly, Suning'er endured the warm current tumbling in her heart, and said deeply: "Auntie, Ning'er will leave your side in a while, Ning'er is most at ease with you, Ning'er hopes that you will make more plans for yourself in the future, don't work too hard." ”

"Don't worry, you have brought so much honor to this family, and A-Niang is also doing her best to manage this family for your uncle and aunt now, they will not treat A-Niang badly."

Qi squinted at her, thinking that her daughter was finally going to get married, happy but sad, and her eyes gradually moistened.
