Uncle Jing San accompanied Ji to personally go to Ji's house in the next city to inform Ji Zhu'er's biological father that Uncle Jing's family lived on the outskirts of the capital, which was very close to Lincheng.

Uncle Jing got out of the carriage and looked up at the big mansion of the Ji family, from the outside, this house is located in the most prosperous area, the vermilion gate is full of majesty, and it can be regarded as a high-ranking household, it seems that the Ji family has lived well these years.

Third Uncle Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, since the Ji family is now so rich, it must not be sucking blood from his own daughter...... Although he was mentally prepared to give money, he was still reluctant to give too much.

Ji didn't know what Uncle Jing was thinking at all, so he pulled Uncle Jing San to knock on the door together, and the housekeeper recognized the two and hurriedly welcomed the two in with a smile.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ji shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law have come to see you!" ”

After a while, Cui Shi came out, immediately stepped forward to praise Ji's arm, and said affectionately: "Why did my sister come suddenly?" I didn't send someone to inform you in advance, and your brother and I didn't have time to send someone out to buy some good things to entertain you. ”

Cui Shi has a round face, thick lips, a pair of eyes that are always smiling, and looks kind and honest.

Uncle Jing glanced at Cui's and took his eyes back. Although it is said that it is born from the heart, there are too many exceptions in life. For example, this Bodhisattva-faced Cui Shi is, he has learned her methods. Two years ago, the Cui family went to the door to borrow money and borrowed a thousand taels of silver, which is a thousand taels for Uncle Jing's family, although it can be afforded, it is also a huge amount of money, and Uncle Jing himself is not a generous person.

At that time, he just hesitated in his heart, and before he said that he would not borrow, this Cui Shi said with a bitter face: "If we were not desperate, we wouldn't even lose our face and come to borrow money from you." I know that my brother-in-law's family has a high threshold and looks down on us poor relatives, and my brother-in-law is not willing to give us any money, and we have no other way......"

Uncle Jing was angry, but he loved face, and he was afraid that he would really be infamous for not even wanting to help his relatives, so he lent it to her, but until now, Cui Shiti has never mentioned paying back the money.

What else did she say just now, she didn't know that the two of them came in advance, so she didn't prepare anything to entertain her...... If you really want to entertain them, isn't it just noon now? The vendors who set up stalls at the entrance of the vegetable market have confiscated their stalls, not to mention that they are particularly good, she must have time to buy fish and meat now, and she actually said that she was too late to entertain......

Uncle Jing is naturally not greedy for their meal, but he thinks that people can be like this, and there is no one else.

Ji and Cui sat together and finished politely, and Ji began to talk about serious things: "Sister-in-law, yesterday we received a letter from Beicheng, saying that Zhu'er is going to handle the marriage in Beicheng, and the two of us plan to go to Beicheng to personally handle Zhu'er, will you go?" ”

Cui Shi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and asked, "Is that what you told us last time, the general's younger brother?" ”

Ji nodded: "It's him, that young man made great achievements in the last battle, and now he is a dignified overseer!" ”

Hearing that his future son-in-law was so promising, Cui Shi suddenly smiled and said, "That kid seems to be two years younger than Zhu'er, right?" is so capable, he became a big official at a young age! ”

After that, he took Ji's hand and said: "Although Zhu'er was raised by the two of you, it is also a piece of meat on my body, and I will definitely contribute to her marriage, I will go back and talk to your brother, and the two of us will immediately pack up and go to Beicheng with you." ”

Uncle Jing couldn't hold back when he heard this, and said leisurely: "If you want to contribute, you don't have to go over in person, there are us in Beicheng, and we will definitely complete Zhu'er's marriage, aren't you very busy?" Just prepare a dowry for Zhu'er, and people don't have to go in person. ”

Cui Shi looked at Uncle Jing San with a smile and said, "It is natural that we should give a dowry to our own daughter, but how can the dowry given by Jing Yu be counted at that time?" ”

Third Uncle Jing glanced at her and knew that she would care about the dowry, so he laughed and said, "I have discussed with my wife, Zhu'er and Yu'er will also live after marriage, so the dowry we prepare will definitely not be lower than the dowry they gave." Our adoptive parents are so generous, presumably your biological parents will never pick the door? If you are willing to give about the same dowry, we will divide the dowry equally. ”

Cui's face did not change, and he laughed, as if Uncle Jing was telling some kind of joke, and said, "It's all your own family, don't be so careful." ”

Uncle Jing San was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to slap the table, care? Cui Shi dares to say that he cares? Over the years, how much money did the Ji family ask for from their family because of Zhu'er? When did he care?!

And who was the first to think about it just now? When it comes to giving a dowry, you have to talk about the dowry? Is marrying a daughter a business?!

If it weren't for Ji's glaring back, he would really have to reason with Cui's!

Although the Ji family didn't let Uncle Jing San quarrel with her by himself, when he heard that Cui's mouth was a dowry gift, he felt very uncomfortable, his smile faded a little, and he said to Cui's family: "What my sister-in-law said is that your family shouldn't be so careful, if you really want to go to Beicheng, when your brother comes back, discuss it with him, let's leave quickly." When I went back to Beicheng, I had to delay ten days and half a month to prepare. ”

Cui Shi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, when your brother comes back, we will prepare to go over." ”

"We're going home too." Ji got up and smiled politely, then went over and took Uncle Jing's hand and was about to leave.

Cui Shi took two steps and said, "My sister and brother-in-law are in such a hurry?" Stay for lunch before leaving. ”

Uncle Jing pouted and glanced at her, as soon as the two of them stepped into the house, they said that the eldest brother was not there, and blamed them for not notifying them in advance, and said that they did not prepare anything to entertain them, and the intention of driving away was written on their faces, and now they still pretend to keep them for dinner?

I'm afraid that if they really stay for a meal, the Cui family, who is the best at picking the door, is estimated to be so angry that his stomach hurts when there is no one at night!

Ji Shitui said: "I have to go far away, and I have something to arrange in advance at home, so I won't eat here today." There will be many opportunities in the future. ”

Ji said yes, hurriedly pulled Uncle Jing away, and when he arrived at the door, Ji let go of his hand, clicked on Uncle Jing's head, and said angrily: "Didn't you discuss it when you were at home?" You know that your sister-in-law had a hard life when she was a child, so she was more careful about everything, so you let her do it, why do you still say those weird things about yin and yang! ”

Uncle Jing pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "It's her who is too annoying." ”

"You're okay, you're a big man......"

Seeing that she still had to teach herself a lesson, Uncle Jing hurriedly covered her ears and said, "Ouch, ouch, I have a stomachache, madam, you go to the carriage and wait for me for a while, I'll go to a thatched house and come back soon." ”

Uncle Jing said yes and ran back to Ji's house again, Ji sighed, and had to go back to the carriage first and wait for him.

Cui Shi was still sitting in the front hall, glanced at the tea that the maid brought out to Uncle Jing and his family above the table, opened the lid of the teapot, smelled the smell, looked back at the maid who made tea, raised his eyebrows, and said in a bitter voice: "What you made for the Jing family is the melon slices I put on the top of the cabinet?" ”

The maid suddenly had a bad premonition, and quickly nodded: "Mrs. Hui, yes." ”

Cui's eyebrows were raised, and he pointed at the maid and scolded, "Are you a pig?" Didn't I tell you, the melon slices before Ming are good tea, one hundred taels of silver a catty! You can only go on when you have a distinguished guest! Ordinary people can just soak the tips of the hairs I put in the cabinet! ”

Cui Shi held the teapot, and his distressed facial features were wrinkled together: "Ouch, hey, my good tea, this cup is at least five taels of silver, right?" I feel sorry for me......"

She took two sips unwillingly, and glared at the maid again: "You wait! These five taels of silver will be deducted from your monthly money! ”

"Huh?! Madam, Madame's forgiveness......" The maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, crying, "Madam, I have fifteen yuan a month, and you have no money to sell the slave and maid......"

"Hmph, you don't have a long memory!"

Cui Shi pointed at her and was about to scold again, suddenly heard footsteps outside, and saw that Uncle Jing San was back from the corner of his eye, the bitterness on his face was immediately put away, replaced with a gentle smile, stepped forward to help the maid, and said, "Ouch, isn't it just a teacup?" Break it, break it, I won't blame you, get up. ”

Cui Shi glanced at the teacup again and motioned for it to be taken away.

The maid glanced at Cui Shi aggrievedly, and didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly answered.

Cui Shi greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, why are you back again?" Did something fall behind? ”

Uncle Jing snorted coldly, didn't reply to this sentence, and said directly: "In front of my wife, I didn't say it directly, now that I'm coming back alone, I just want to make it clear to you, you don't have to pretend in front of me, I know that you two have never treated Zhu'er as a daughter, you want to go to Beicheng with us, but you think Yu'er is a good person, you want to climb the relationship and make some benefits." Isn't it? ”

Cui Shi was stunned for a moment, and then looked angry and aggrieved, and said: "Zhu'er is a piece of meat that fell from my body, and it is my own birth!" How could I not treat her as a daughter? Brother-in-law, I'm so sad that you actually say that about me......"

Before she finished her words, Uncle Jing San immediately took out a silver ticket and interrupted her: "One thousand taels, as long as you don't go to Beicheng to bother Zhu'er, this is yours." ”

Looking at the silver ticket, Cui's eyes immediately released a strange brilliance, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, but she immediately took it back, restored her previous appearance, looked at Uncle Jing aggrievedly and said, "Brother-in-law, how can you use money to insult me......"

Uncle Jing said upsetly: "You don't have to pay back the more than 5,000 taels of silver you owed our family before, as long as you don't bother Zhu'er, you can think about it!" ”
