After the Shangyuan Festival, the Huainan Hou Mansion sent someone to send the dowry list, and it was Mao's face-saving housekeeper Mother Zhang, who saw Lu and Xiao Rongyue smiling wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and the words in her mouth were sweeter than honey: "The old lady heard about this marriage, and she was very satisfied, and told Mrs. Hou to be sure to do a happy event in a beautiful manner, and even this dowry list was added again and again, lest she neglect the lady." ”

Mother Zhang smiled and stepped forward with a list and asked Lu Shi to take a look, but her eyes swept over Xiao Rongyue, who was sitting calmly eating tea on the side, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

The young lady in front of her was wearing a honey-colored short jacket, a green and yellow fairy skirt, and a rose-purple silk ribbon tied around her waist, which was not too outstanding, but if you look closely, they are densely embroidered hibiscus flowers, and the tassel strings hanging down to her ears make her muscles and bones smooth, and her eyes are like autumn water, so that Zhang's mother can't help but look at it twice, and she is secretly surprised in her heart, she can't imagine that this merchant lady has a good appearance.

Lu Shi took the dowry list from the handmaid and looked at it, and his heart jumped, he couldn't imagine that the Huainan Hou Mansion really had to come up with such a rich dowry, not to mention that those gold and silver things have exceeded 10,000 gold, even the tea ceremony is worth a lot of money, the most rare is the pair of geese used in the Dian Yan ceremony, you must know that a pair of live geese are rich and nowhere to be found, and the Chang'an governments have already taken the wooden geese instead of the live geese.

But the list sent by the Huainan Hou Mansion really has a pair of geese written on it, and this sincerity really can't be faulted.

Lu Shi was sighing, and Fugui, who was followed by Zhang's mother, stepped forward and took out a brocade box: "Princess, lady, this is the dowry that Lang Jun added, please take a look." ”

Even Zhang's mother was surprised at this time, she just came to send a dowry list on the order of Mao, but she didn't know that there was this one, she had also seen the dowry list, and the degree of preciousness made her staggered, but she didn't expect Wulangjun to add more.

Lu Shi was confused for a while, and glanced at Zhang's mother: "This ......"

Fugui crossed his hands and bowed again: "Lang Jundao, the dowry list was sent by the Huainan Hou Mansion, and these things were added by himself." ”

The brocade box was opened, and Lu Shi's eyes widened when she saw a few deeds, although she was not good at taking care of housekeeping, she also knew how valuable the things on these deeds were, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she handed it to Xiao Rongyue.

Xiao Rongyue glanced at it a few times, smiled and put it down, and said to Fugui: "Go back and tell your family Langjun, I will accept it." ”

Fugui smiled, thinking about Cheng Mo's instructions when he came, saying that if Xiao Niangzi accepted it, he would be rewarded when he went back, and it seemed that he could go back to ask for a reward.

Zhang's mother stretched her neck and looked into the brocade box, wanting to see what was inside, and go back to talk back to Mao's, but Xiao Rongyue closed it and put it on the desk after reading it, she could only give up, but she remembered what Mao said: "...... The ones on this list are all taken out of the East Courtyard, we naturally can't be stingy, and everyone else feels that the Huainan Hou Mansion has a bearing, not to mention such a rich dowry, and the small family over there is afraid that they can't even afford a suitable dowry, so it will be officially embarrassing. ”

Thinking of this, her smile couldn't help but have a little more contempt, but she said it well: "It can be seen that Gorou-kun takes this marriage very seriously, and he has added another one." ”

She went back and said to listen to Mao, and Mao pouted: "If it was really important, I would have asked people to come over and tell me that it was added to the list, but I am afraid that I am playing tricks again." ”

She muttered a few words, but sneered: "It's okay, so I want to see what the Xiao family uses as a dowry, if it's too cold, I have to teach people jokes." ”

The wedding date is set for April 16, which is the auspicious day given by Cheng Feng and Mao's people who invited Si Tianjian, that is, in order to get married before Cheng Mu and the county lord of Leyang, so that compared to marrying a poor merchant girl, Cheng Mu will not be so embarrassed to marry the lord of Leyang County.

Since Xiao Rongyue agreed to Cheng Mo, she had no more opinions, and let the Mao family arrange the toss, she still lived her life peacefully, took care of the things in the shop, and even handed over the embroidery work to the embroidery lady of the neon dress workshop to help do, and she was idle.

Zheng's mother was very uneasy and persuaded her: "Those tent pillows are handed over to them to do, after all, the lady rarely does needlework, but the shoes and socks on the recognition ceremony are not ......."

Xiao Rongyue smiled: "I saw that the relationship in the Huainan Hou Mansion was complicated and unpredictable, and when I asked Cheng Wulang before, he only said that he didn't have to think about it, I thought it was for another reason, so I just did what he said, and I didn't bother with these thoughts." ”

Whether it is Dou Mi or Xiao Shi, they are already second-married women, not to mention that they have been watching coldly these days, they only feel that the Huainan Hou Mansion is complicated and unpredictable, and naturally they will no longer be like Yunying's unmarried little lady who is ashamed to hope that her husband's family is satisfied with her, and she is too lazy to ask for trouble to please others.

Mother Zheng sighed, she was originally very satisfied with this marriage, and felt that Cheng Wulang was not only good-looking, had a good family background, and was particularly concerned about the affairs of the lady, but now she thinks that even the ordinary family of Jiangning Mansion like the Du family is full of flies and dogs, and her intentions are sinister, and she can't say how difficult it will be for the lady to marry into a high-ranking family like the Huainan Hou Mansion.

While she was talking, Zhu Ling opened the curtain and came in: "Lady, there is a commotion in the Du family's house, saying that she is going to marry her daughter and sell the house." ”

Marrying a daughter and selling a house? Xiao Rongyue was stunned for a moment before she realized that the Du family was actually going to remarry Du Lan!

Mother Zheng was surprised and said, "Is it Mrs. Du?" Didn't she give all the dowries to the Du family after her return, why did she want to remarry? ”

Zhu Ling said: "Or a mother-in-law who was familiar with Sister-in-law Ke said when she went to visit her side, saying that the Du family's winery was completely lost, and the taverns that bought wine before came to the door to lose money, and the Du family had no way, and there was no money to take out again, and then Mrs. Du thought of the method, so that the mother-in-law went to inquire about the news, and wanted to marry Mrs. Du to a businessman who came to sell goods from the East, and wanted to use the dowry money to pay these back." ”

"It's just that the Oriental businessman is over fifty years old, and I heard that there are still wives and children at home," Zhu Ling said straightly, "The birth is short and inconspicuous, and Mrs. Du is unwilling, so Mrs. Du wants her mother-in-law to tie her up, and Mrs. Du is forced to climb to the edge of the well in the backyard to commit suicide, which makes a lot of trouble." ”

Mother Zheng shook her head when she heard this, she couldn't imagine that the dignified Jiangning Du family room had now fallen to such a point, and she was going to sell her daughter to pay off her debts.

Xiao Rongyue didn't ask a word, but only instructed Zhu Ling: "If they want to sell the house, you can let people buy the house again, I can still use it." ”
