In Xiao's house, Lu sat on the upper seat, looking at the iceman Zhou Pozi below and said like a river: "...... Mrs. Hou told her that she must be shown to the princess, and the house is sincerely asking to marry Mrs. Xiao, and there are many books and six ceremonies, even the dowry will never make the lady wronged. ”

Sitting on the couch, Mrs. Sun of the Marquis of Anyang was invited by the Hou Mansion of Huainan to come to the marriage, and this time was also full of smiles, and said to the Lu family: "The Hou Mansion of Huainan is really sincere, the sky was dark yesterday, Mrs. Hou Huainan also went to my house in person, and earnestly asked me to help come over to propose marriage, and said that if it is accepted here, I will invite the king of Fenyang County to be the main marriage, and Li Zhanshi will be the guest of honor, and the marriage will definitely be done beautifully, please rest assured that the princess." ”

The Lu family hesitated when he heard this, although the Huainan Hou Mansion is now considered powerful, and it is the Langya Cheng family, it is indeed a good marriage, but the absurd reputation of Cheng Wulang has really spread for a long time, that is, the Lu family does not have much contact with people, and they have all heard about it, if Xiao Rongyue is allowed to marry such a person, how can she rest assured.

It's just that the matter of this marriage can't be discussed in front of the person who proposes the marriage like this, she can only say vaguely: "It's not a trivial matter, let's wait for me to think about it before deciding." ”

Sun was an informed and knowledgeable person, and hurriedly said: "What the princess said is that it is necessary to discuss it carefully before deciding. ”

She took Mrs. Zhou to say goodbye, and said to the Lu family again and again: "If the princess and Mrs. Xiao agree, let someone come to pick up the post immediately." ”

After they all said goodbye, the Lu family went back to the inner courtyard and said to Xiao Rongyue: "...... It sounds like you're sincere, but I don't know what you're going to do. ”

She paused, and then said: "Speaking of which, Cheng Wulang is too ridiculous, and he doesn't have a serious errand on weekdays, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you in the future." ”

Xiao Rongyue chuckled: "Don't pay attention to it for now." ”

She doesn't plan to marry someone who doesn't know the roots, not to mention that she is desperate, she has bothered to arrange for a long time these days, and pinched the person who was placed in the palace by Mrs. Mi in her hands, and finally has eyes and ears in the palace, so she may not have to be at the mercy of others.

Although she was quite curious about Cheng Mo, it was not enough for her to plan to marry him like this.

Seeing that it was the first day, but there was no movement in the Yingchuan Mansion and Xiao Mansion, Cheng Mo was not surprised, he had already expected that a cunning and intelligent person like Xiao Rongyue would not be willing to believe him so easily, and the cat that tensed up at any time and showed sharp teeth and small paws was afraid that it was staring at him tentatively.

But he wasn't in a hurry, Mao was in a hurry, and went around in the inner hall: "Why is there no news yet, is it possible that she is still picky?" ”

Dong's mother persuaded: "How can anyone come to the door to propose marriage and immediately agree, it will always take a few days to reply, this is also the rule, otherwise it will not make people think that they are in a hurry to get married." ”

"But it's the New Year in two days, and there is no one to talk about family affairs!" The Mao family was only afraid of delaying this family business, "I heard that the big man of the Weiguo Mansion has also gone to that house in the past few days." ”

Dong's mother said: "No, the ladies in the house over there have their eyes on the top of their heads, where can they look down on such a person, they will not agree." ”

Mao also knew that the Weiguo Mansion would not have such a plan, but she was afraid that after delaying it for a few days, let Cheng Mo know, and if their plan was ruined, wouldn't Cheng Mu fall behind Cheng Mo.

She told Dong's mother: "Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Yingchuan Palace to see the princess, and then talk to her well, and I must teach her to know our sincerity." ”

Xiao Rongyue's side was not at peace because of the Huainan Hou Mansion's proposal, but the Du family's house was already in chaos.

Du Kui sat down on the couch, looking at the stack of bills sent by the steward, his eyes straightened: "What are you talking about, the brewery has been closed by someone, what is going on?" ”

The steward replied uneasily: "It is said that the koji sent to several taverns two days ago is spoiled, and some people have eaten bad stomach after selling only half of those taverns, and the guests are clamoring to go to the official office, and the tavern will let people come to the brewery to make trouble, and they will lose money if they want to return the koji." ”

Du Kui opened his mouth in surprise: "How can it be spoiled, in such weather, our wine is freshly beaten, and the koji is also freshly steamed, where will it be bad?" ”

The steward shook his head and said he didn't know: "It's just that the wine sent by them was broken in front of the door of the brewery, and it did have a sour smell......

He didn't dare to say that the people in those taverns not only had to lose money, but also made a big fuss, breaking the wine sent back and the newly sealed wine in the winery, breaking the jar and falling to the ground, and even other guests who bought wine were scared away.

But he just didn't say it, Du Kui was already like a knife, but he had just spent 1,800 yuan to make a fortune, but in a few days, such a big thing happened, and the whole family relied on this to eat.

It took him a long time to ask, "How much do they have to pay?" ”

"Each family has five hundred, saying that the business is broken, and I am afraid that no one will dare to go to the restaurant for a banquet in the future." The steward whispered.

Du Kui almost fainted, a total of five or six families came to the door to make noise, wouldn't that cost 3,000 yuan, but he forced Pei's dowry to come out, so he had 1,800 yuan to go down to the winery, and now where is the money to pay for those taverns!

The steward didn't dare to hide it, and then whispered: "I also said that if I refuse to lose money, I will pull Lord Lang and San Langjun to see the official together, even if you risk your life, you have to seek justice!" Now everyone is already waiting at the door of the house, just waiting for the lord to take the money out. ”

Du Kui's body swayed, the Venus in front of him rose straight up, and he moaned with a few sighs, and it took a long time to turn his head and call the maidservant: "Where is Aunt Dai?" Let her come, she chose this brewery in the first place! ”

If it weren't for Aunt Dai's recommendation, how could he take a fancy to this brewery, and how could he spend so much money to put it down, and now that such a thing has happened, do you have to bear it?

As long as Aunt Dai is handed over, saying that the concubine is doing business in private, they don't know, and let those tavern people look for her for justice, and it has little to do with the Du family!

The maidservant girl responded, walked out quickly, and went to Aunt Dai's room to look for her, but she came back after a while, looking panicked: "Xiao An in the aunt's room said that the aunt went out with vanilla early in the morning, and said that she was going to buy the New Year's artillery red silk in person." ”

Du Kui was stunned for a moment, and immediately frowned: "Don't let people look for it yet, what will you say about the New Year!" ”

I can't even get through today!

However, he sent people to go around the east and west markets and failed to find Aunt Dai and Vanilla, but found the carriage that sent them there, and the coachman took out a piece of paper from his sleeve tremblingly, saying that Aunt Dai had told him to wait there, and the Du family would give them the paper when they found it.

There are not many words on the paper, only two sentences: "The Du family has no virtue, and evil is rewarded." ”

Du Kui looked at the piece of paper, his hands trembled like the last leaf on a tree in the cold November wind, and he insisted on asking the steward how much money was left in the official account, and he had to send away the people who were about to smash the door in front of the door.

The steward replied: "The public account has been exhausted, and Aunt Dai only let people redeem all the money yesterday, saying that she wanted to buy and buy." ”

Du Kui and Pei Shi, who got the news, both fainted, and they didn't care about those who wanted justice and rushed through the door.
