Chapter 67: The Dowry

Shen Zaishi didn't stay at home for too long, there was still a group of students waiting for him in the private school, so he took the book he wanted to pick up and left, and before leaving, he didn't forget to wink at Shen Mengxi, who was practicing big characters on the bookcase in front of the window of his cabin in the West Chamber.

Shen Mengxi didn't expect that this grandfather, who had always been steady, would also have such a lively side, and couldn't help but wink at Shen Zaishi, which was a small tacit understanding between the grandfather and grandson.

Shen Mengxi seriously wrote enough 100 big characters, and at this time, the Wu family also finished the work in his hand and came back from the backyard. Shen Mengxi heard a noise in the room where Wang Jin lived next door, thinking that it should be the Wu family who was cleaning up Wang Jin's things inside, and thought for a while that he didn't go over to help, and the provincial government recruited Cui and Wang Jin not to see him.

"Erlang's family, you help Xiaoxi clean up your things, I'll clean up Jin'er's side!" Cui Shi led Wang Jin in and said.

"How can you bother your mother to do it, just this little bit of work will take long for the daughter-in-law to finish it!" Wu said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm idle and have nothing to do for you, and I'll get things done as soon as possible, lest your father have something to say again!" Cui said expressionlessly.

Wu was a little hesitant, Cui's didn't work much since Fu entered the door, and after she entered the door, not to mention that it was almost impossible to stretch out her hand to eat and open her mouth, how could she suddenly be willing to help Wu work?

"What, my mother-in-law's words don't work, do they?" Seeing that the Wu family had been refusing to leave the house where Wang Jin lived, Cui's face became ugly, "Now even you dare to disobey me?" ”

"Daughter-in-law don't dare! It's just that I can't bear to let my mother work, if I get tired, wouldn't it be my daughter-in-law's sin? Wu quickly explained.

"Humph! Where did you come from so much, hurry up and leave me! ”

Wu felt that Cui's move was very inappropriate, but she didn't know what Cui's purpose was, so she didn't dare to disobey Cui's order, so she could only leave the room where Wang Jin lived first, turned around and entered Shen Mengxi's hut.

"Auntie, you're here!" Shen Mengxi greeted with a smile.

"Xiaoxi ......" Wu had his own guess in his heart, but he didn't have evidence and didn't know whether he should say so much to Shen Mengxi, so he couldn't open his mouth hesitantly.

Shen Mengxi restrained Xiao Rang and walked up to the Wu family and said, "Auntie, is something wrong?" ”

……

After the evening was finished, the family would cook tea by the Wu family as usual and sit around the upper room chatting. Shen Zaishi opened his mouth and asked Shen Mengxi: "How does Xiaoxi feel when he moves into the wide room in the West Chamber?" ”

"Thank you grandfather for caring! Xiaoxi likes it very much, the room is spacious and bright, Xiaoxi doesn't need to open the window to write big characters in that room! ”

"Hmmm! If you like it, if there is anything missing in the room, tell your grandmother and ask your grandmother to buy it for you! Shen Zaishi said with a smile.

"Thank you, grandfather! The creek lacks nothing! My mother's dowry box is with me! Shen Mengxi smiled and shook his little head.

"Father, there is something that my daughter-in-law thinks it is necessary to tell you!" Wu Shi brought a cup of cooked tea to Shen Zaishi at this time and said.

"What's the matter?" Shen Zaishi didn't care.

"It's about the sister-in-law's dowry!"

"Didn't your sister-in-law's dowry just now Xiaoxi say that it was with her, what else is there to say?" Cui Shi spoke first.

Shen Zaishi's eyes darkened, and he felt that there must be something strange about this matter, so he asked Shen Zhixin: "Dalang, how did you dispose of your daughter-in-law's dowry at the beginning?" ”

"Back to my father, most of them are stored in the mahogany box in the house of Xiaoxi, the books, calligraphy and paintings are placed in Mengzhu's house, and some of the furnishings are placed in the son's house. But in the past two days, I seem to have seen a few things missing, and I haven't paid attention to this in my daily life, and I'm not sure! ”
