The day after the marriage was consummated, it was the day when Qiao Kangcheng was originally scheduled to marry.

These days, Qiao An has been courting relatives in the Yang family, and the dowry has not caught up with the supervision. When I came back in the evening to count the items, I found that the items were really pitiful.

"Is this Xiaoding?" Qiao An looked up at Aunt Wang, her brows furrowed slightly: "Don't talk about the side, the eight-color gift box is indispensable." ”

"Things are urgent, time is tight, everything is as simple as possible. Carambola is married to a person, so naturally it will not pick a gift of objects. Aunt Wang glanced at Qiao Kangcheng, who was sitting on the side, and finally made a straight face to Qiao An: "Everything we can prepare is here, if you don't like it, you can add it yourself." If you want to count on us, there is not a penny more. ”

Qiao Ping also gave Qiao An a look hard, meaning that it is very rare to be able to get to the current situation, don't say anything else to make A-Niang embarrassed.

Looking at the expressions of the brothers and sisters, they probably all mean the same thing, and Qiao An has a sense of proportion in his heart. I didn't say a word more about the dowry.

Even so, Qiao An came out of the house and went to Qiao Ping: "Does the eldest brother have any silver in his hand?" ”

"How much do you want?" Qiao Ping is actually very embarrassed, the income of the shop is in charge of the second elder, he has a silver or two a month, he used to buy wine and drink, and now he has to buy some rouge gouache for Xia Na, and he is also very strapped in his hands.

Qiao An stretched out two fingers: "Lend it to me first, and I will definitely pay you back with interest in the future." ”

Qiao Ping, who looked a little nervous, breathed a sigh of relief: "With this bit of silver, what else do you say with interest?" He smiled and gave Shana a look and told her to quickly fetch the silver.

Xiana didn't hesitate, the key opened the cabinet and took out the silver: "Two taels is not too much, give you three taels." Star fruit is good, the dowry is too thin, and it doesn't look good. ”

She poured out the silver, took out one or two and held it in the palm of her hand, and pushed the remaining three taels in front of Qiao An: "Don't talk about the disadvantages, let's talk about it when you have enough money." ”

The things prepared by Aunt Wang are only four or five taels of silver when folded, and it is not grand to talk about Xiaoding, not to mention the dowry.

Add three taels of silver, it is better than anything, and it can't change anything.

Qiao An looked at the three taels of silver in front of her, and was embarrassed to take it after all: "Big brother and sister-in-law keep the flowers, I'll go somewhere else to think of a way." ”

Qiao Ping and Xia Na were a little confused: "What do you mean?" ”

They thought of something, and then Qiao An, who looked at her in surprise, asked in disbelief, "Do you want twenty taels?" You are crazy! ”

"I'm not crazy!" Qiao An took a sip of the teacup, and after moistening his throat, he looked at his eldest brother's eyes seriously: "If I let star fruit be wronged in etiquette, then what kind of man am I?" ”

After speaking, he put the teacup on the table and turned away firmly.

At the beginning, Joan was never small, and the dowry was not important. The two people on the left and right are sincere, when she marries, he will be good to her, he is motivated, hard to earn money and then hand over all the silver to her disposal is not more important than this dowry now?

Therefore, when Qiao Kangcheng said something like that to him, although he was a little unbearable in his heart, although he also felt that star fruit would be wronged, he still went to the door of the Yang family and said something like that to star fruit.

But when he knelt outside the door of the Yang family courtyard and begged for his wife, he listened to the rumors of the people around him, and he really understood that the dowry represented more than just money.

That is the face that the Qiao family gave to the Yang family, and it is the confidence that he Qiao An gave to the star fruit.

The dowry determines to a certain extent how much the bride price can be, and the bride price is the confidence of star fruit in the future.

If Qiao's family withholds her expenses, she will not be overstretched if she has a bride price; If the Qiao family has a tribulation and is supported by a bride price, her life will not be too embarrassing, and if she can still use some silver money to support her in-law's family, it will also be beneficial for her to integrate into this new family.

Even if her in-laws are good to her, there will be no shortage of money, and the new daughter-in-law who has just entered the door can't always stretch out her hand to the old man, right? Favors, there is always an expense for gouache, and the public school will never give it, so what can you rely on if you don't rely on the bride price money at this time?

This is still talking about daily expenses, if you count the clothes of the four seasons, and then think about the house and shop in the long run, how difficult it is to earn only one month and one month, then it will show the importance of this bride price.

Thinking about this, Qiao An refused to let the star fruit be wronged at the dowry.

Coming out of Qiao Ping's house, Qiao An happened to meet Aunt Wang. The mother and son looked at each other from afar, and each other's eyes were indescribably complicated.

"Are the injuries on your body getting better?" Aunt Wang looked Qiao An up and down distressedly, and without waiting for him to answer, she let out a long sigh: "Go early and come back early, your father is in a bad mood these days, don't worry too much about him, and don't make him angry again." ”

Joan nodded slightly, limping out step by step.

When he was about to walk to the door, he turned his head unwillingly, stared at A-Niang who was still looking at his figure, and asked, "Since you have agreed, why do you humiliate star fruit so much in etiquette?" Since he is married, he is destined to be a member of my Qiao family. Family, why bother to be so embarrassed and cheap? ”

Aunt Wang's eyes were sour, but there was still a loving smile on her face: "Parents all over the world have one heart, no matter what method they use, they always want to be good for their children." It's not too early, so let's do it quickly. Go early and come back early. ”

This time, Aunt Wang took the lead in turning around. The moment he turned around, tears fell like beads of broken threads.

For Joan and star fruit's marriage, there is only so much she can do. She and Qiao Kang have been a loving husband and wife for a lifetime, can they really break up because of their son's marriage? Can sons and daughters really turn their backs on their own fathers because of a star fruit?

It is enough to kidnap Qiao Kangcheng once with his mistress, if it really falls apart, no one will be able to get off the stage.

Qiao An kept looking at A-Niang's back, and he felt that A-Niang was very tired today, and even her figure was very tired. But he felt sorry for his mother, but he couldn't help but feel desolate for himself.

is a once-in-a-lifetime family affair, the process is so tortuous and desolate, and his father and mother are so perfunctory and contemptuous, how can he accept it calmly?

But if Joan could know the development ahead, and could know the consequences of the step he would take, maybe he would never do that, maybe he would rather let the star fruit grit his teeth and suffer this grievance.

Unfortunately, there is never a time in this world that pain and suffering will always arrive on time when it should come, regardless of whether the recipient is ready or not, whether he can bear it or not.

Therefore, at this time, Qiao An resolutely walked out.

His own wedding, he figured out how to prepare for it himself; His own woman, he tried his best to hurt.

Qiao An went to find Master Qin, and his purpose was very simple: to borrow twenty taels of silver.

After greeting each other, Qiao An got straight to the point: "It will take about half a year to completely sort out the comprehensive case files in the county, and if the distribution of powerful forces and the relationship between interests are all investigated, it will take three months to say the least." If you want to win over the talented students of the Guo family in the past, I am afraid that it will take a longer time. ”

When he said this, Qiao An put down the tea cup in his hand, straightened his waist and looked at Qin Fuzi's eyes seriously: "If the master can refuse to enter the Hanlin Academy, how can he be a county magistrate in Liang County for a long time?" If you guess correctly, the imperial court will send a new county order within two months. ”

Master Qin was surprised in his heart, and his elegant brows furrowed slightly: "Then, what do you want to say?" ”

"Those things are in dire need, and I happen to be short of some silver. If the Master can pay me twenty taels of silver in advance, I promise to give them all to the Master within three months. Although the students in the Guo family can't be co-opted immediately, they can still do it by helping the master to pull the line and build bridges and disintegrate one by one. ”

Master Qin's pale face became a little solemn, he looked at Qiao An vigilantly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a cup of tea had bottomed out, he finally smiled slightly, and looked light: "I'm just acting for a county order, where do I need to sort out the case files of the entire county, and the powerful are ......."

"I don't say dark things in front of the Ming people, and the Master knows that I have already guessed it. You are the person of the Three Princes, and the Three Princes themselves are not as indisputable as they appear......"

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but looking at Master Qin's changing face, he also knew that he was right: "You don't need those things, but the third prince needs them." Especially the entire Shuzhou, which used to be the territory of His Royal Highness the Prince. This time there is an accident in the Governor's Mansion, even if you can't uproot this series of people, you have to pick up a few important moves, right? ”

The words have come to this, if Master Qin still does not agree, it will be to kill people and eliminate the disaster.

Master Qin kept staring at Qiao An's eyes, and after a long time, he finally raised his voice and ordered the attendants outside: "Take over twenty taels of silver." ”

Qiao An smiled, smiling very contentedly: "Thank you Master Qin for your success." ”

Qin Fuzi pressed his fingers on the book, and there was a deep bitterness on his face: "After tonight, you will no longer have a choice." Either you are loyal or you will never recover. ”

Qiao An smiled lightly and didn't answer the topic: "Tomorrow, I will marry star fruit, and if the master has time, he might as well come and drink saliva." ”

Engagement......

Yes, Yang Chunxiao said it when he asked for leave to go home in the afternoon. His second sister is about to get married, and the prospective brother-in-law is the Qiao An in front of him.

What was his mood at the time?

Master Qin pursed his lips and subconsciously took the book and read it carefully. Outsiders looked at him with a serious and serious expression, and only he knew that he didn't read a word.

To this day, he still doesn't know what his mood is. It's just that I feel that my legs hurt faintly, but I remembered the picture of her pinching, beating, and warming his legs regardless of the defense of men and women.

The first time he put his leg on the hand of the star fruit, he was thinking: the ceremony cannot be wasted, if someone picks the gift of star fruit one day, he will definitely stand up and be responsible for their 'skin kiss'.

In the blink of an eye, the first woman who touched his body was about to become someone else's wife, and her future husband couldn't even afford a more decent dowry. What mood should he be in, and what kind of mood can he be?

The ceremony cannot be abolished, tomorrow's wedding ceremony, should he do something?
