Chapter 85: Grievances
"Xiaoqing is right, the eldest girl in your family grew up with our people, and the Zheng family is one of the richest families in the Punk, your mere five thousand taels of silver, if it is put in the eyes of the Zheng family, I am afraid it is nothing. I still have a few sets of ruby heads given to me by my sister-in-law a few years ago, and I keep them, so it's better to give them to your eldest girl and make hand ornaments for her to press the bottom of the box. Cai said, waving his hand at the little maid waiting beside him, and motioned for her to go to the warehouse to find something.
"Minlan, how does this work? That's your sister-in-law's head for you, how can you use it to make something at the bottom of the box for my eldest girl?" Tan said that he was going to ask the little maid who went to the warehouse to turn back.
It was only when Tan raised his head and was about to call someone that he found that the person was no longer in the house.
"Minlan, you hurry up and call that little maid back, I won't accept those things of yours. If I take your things and make them as my eldest girl's hand ornament at the bottom of the box, if it spreads, where should I put my old face?" After such a pass, Cai's no longer had the heart to continue playing the leaf card, and stood up to go out.
Cai thought about it carefully, in fact, what Tan said was also reasonable.
After all, it is a married girl, and Tan is the mother of a big girl, this hand ornament at the bottom of the box should be her or her old lady, they are just Tan's close friends, and the big girl of the family is neither related nor with a reason, if you send some hand ornaments to her to press the bottom of the box, wouldn't it be a gossip?
"Since we say so, you don't want to accept it, then we won't force you, on the fifteenth day, I invited my second sister-in-law to accompany us to the City God Temple, when the time comes, you dress up your eldest girl carefully, and then come to find us!" As soon as Cai's words fell, the little maid beside her, who was already organic, supported Tan and was ready to send her out.
Not long after the Tan family went out, the Su family also said that there was something at home, and they also went out together, and there were only two people left in the house, Cai and Wu.
Wu watched Su chase Tan's shadow out, picked up a Lu'an melon slice on the high table next to him, lifted the tea lid and smelled the tea, and then said with a smile: "Su is still the same, I like to follow Tan's ass and be her follower." ”
Cai glanced at the back of the Wu family in a hurry outside the house, and saw that she seemed to be going to the corridor to chase the Tan family, and ordered someone to come in and collect the card game, and said lightly: "Among the four of us, the Su family is the most unassertive, often listening to Tan's words, to help her do this and that, the last time she put the money outside, it was the Tan family instigated." ”
"I naturally know this, Tan came to me two days ago, saying that he wanted to trust my father's relationship to help her put money in Chengjiang, how could I help her do those hurtful things?" Wu said, taking a few more sips of tea.
"The Tan family is a person with a city government, we have known her for so many years, and we know her roots, and she can't hide anything from us. She said that she had prepared a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver for her eldest girl, and I wondered, where did she get so much money? It's not that when the Da Tan family was alive, it was prepared for the eldest girl who got married. Cai's heart has always looked down on Tan, but in front of her, it is inevitable to have a few polite words with her.
Now that she's not in the house, she's okay to talk about her.
"She can't compare to Ah Zhen, if it weren't for Ah Zhen's face, I definitely wouldn't be close to her. When the second girl and the third girl got married, the dowry of the two people added up to 20,000 taels, and the eldest girl was only 5,000 taels. Wu Shi looked at the direction of the corridor outside the window and said angrily.
Two days ago, Tan specially invited Wu to get together for the birthday of his old lady, and at that time, Tan was busy dealing with the guests outside, so he left the account book in the inner room, which happened to be seen by Wu.
That's why the Wu family knew that the dowry of the eldest girl and the second girl added up to 20,000 taels, while the eldest girl could only get a mere 5,000 taels.
"Xiaoqing, when the temple fair of the City God Temple on the fifteenth day, you accompanied me, and I became more and more reluctant to entertain the Tan family. During this time, I was very tired, and there were still big and small things waiting for me to come out of the house. Cai said, holding his head with his chin and began to complain.
"Your old lady Feng is a sensible person, and she will never be like my mother-in-law, who will punish my sisters-in-law at home to stand in the ancestral hall and set rules. Now my sister-in-law has gone back to her parents' house for refuge, and my eldest brother has followed. As soon as Wu's words fell, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Cai.
Cai's heart secretly said that if Feng Lao'an was a sensible person, he would not blame her for the gambling stone that Gu Liming, the sixth master of the Gu family, was obsessed with, and he would not force her and Gu Liming to have another son.
"It's not too early, I should go back too, otherwise my Saburo will send someone to pick me up again." Wu said, supported by the little maid who was waiting beside him, and walked out of the door of the Autumn Rain Courtyard.
"I'm still sending you out, I have to send you out unscathed, otherwise if you lose a hair, your San Lang will come to me to settle accounts." Cai personally sent Wu out of the courtyard, the last time was that Wu stayed with her for a long time, the Sun family's San Lang saw that she had not returned home for a long time, and she was very worried, so she personally came to the door and asked for someone from herself.
Wu's carriage stopped next to the Hanging Flower Gate, and Cai personally sent Wu around the corridor and through the long corridor before coming to the Hanging Flower Gate. After seeing Wu get into the carriage, Cai dared to go back with confidence.
Cai had not yet returned to the Autumn Rain Courtyard, and as soon as he passed by the back room of Feng Lao'an, he saw Zijuan standing there, as if he had been waiting for himself for a long time, and when he saw Cai coming over, he hurriedly greeted him, "Madam, the old lady is already waiting for you in the house, saying that she has something to say to you." ”
"Didn't the old lady go to the hall to see the old lady Lin? When did you come back?" Cai Shi bypassed Zijuan in front and glanced towards the back room where Feng Lao'an was enrolled.
Doctor Qin said that Mrs. Lin needed to recuperate, and after the old lady saw that Mrs. Lin woke up, she talked to her for a long time and came back. Thinking that the wife's leaf card should be finished, he ordered the slave to wait for you here. Zijuan said, about to lead the way for the Cai family.
On the way to Feng Lao'anren's house, Cai did not speak, but followed closely behind Zijuan, carefully walking on the gravel road under his feet.
Because it rained two days ago, when someone took a shortcut to the back cover room, they took the road that Cai's they walked, but at that time the road was not paved with small stones, and the little maid who was waiting for it was careless, and she fell into the pool next to her, but fortunately there was still rain in the pool, and the little girl did not fall to the rockery at the bottom of the pool.
Cai's came to the third room in the back room, this room is the small Buddha hall where Feng Lao'an worships the Buddha on weekdays, she used to see Feng Lao'an in Qi's house, how could she change to see her in the Buddha hall now? Could it be that there are some words that can't be heard by the Qi family?
Cai didn't think much about it, and Zijuan led the way, and entered the small Buddha hall.
