Chapter 223: Dowry

"Your marriage with Shao'an is serious, why should a good marriage be arranged into a book? You even said that you want to make a play, how can you listen to this when it is heard? You are going to marry into the Wen family in the future, it is a scholarly family with a clean style and a century-old inheritance, how can you be so nonsense? Mrs. Cheng said, "You can't ruin your reputation and future in order to make your grandmother happy for a while." ”

"It's just Grandmother Bo smiling, A-Niang is too nervous, it's okay, you just believe the child, and whether it's really a rehearsal or not, it's just casually talking, what's the matter with making the old man happy?" Cheng Jin smiled and held Mrs. Cheng's arm, "I know that A-Niang is from a scholarly family, and she is not used to seeing Chengenhou Mansion, but you see that although the old lady is not as solemn as other old ladies, she has a straightforward temperament, likes and dislikes are written on her face, and she never engages in inconsistencies between the inside and the outside, not to mention that she does not hold grudges, even if the third aunt provokes her today, she will serve in front of her in a few days, and the old lady will not give her a look at her face, let alone care about giving people small shoes to wear, such an old lady is not better than those majestic and bitter-faced old ladies?" You think she is ridiculous, she doesn't look like an old feudal monarch, but she is an elder, and you can't change her, it's better to change your mind and coax her as a child, she is happy, the whole house is also happy, and the queen mother in the palace is also happy, can't our family's life be better. ”

"How I don't know what you said is reasonable," Mrs. Cheng was silent for a moment, "It's just that I can't help it, there are some things I really can't help when I hear them, take what your third aunt said today, if she marries into Beppu, she will never dare to say such a thing, but it is because she sees that there are no rules in our Hou Mansion, so she deliberately said it to disgust you, why are there no rules in our mansion?" Isn't it the old woman who led the way? ”

"Speaking of the third aunt, you still have to be more careful with her in the future." Cheng Jin thought for a while, "She has always been a smart person, but she fell a little hard this time, and she will definitely learn a lesson in the future, and maybe something will happen in the future." ”

"She?" Mrs. Cheng disagreed, "Although she is also surnamed Wen, her family is not the same clan as Shao'an, she is really from a small family, she is a scholarly family, she has no knowledge at all, and her scheming tricks are not on the table." What's more, our Hou Mansion is not better than the average family, the most is not according to the card, her set in our Hou Mansion can not be eaten at all, you didn't see her eat today, this is not once or twice, she and your second aunt in general, are not good at learning. ”

"Auntie, you have never learned to be obedient," Cheng Jin said with a smile, "You know what your grandmother likes, but you always refuse to put down your body and coax her, if my third aunt learns to be obedient and coaxes her grandmother with her scheming, you are afraid that you are not her opponent." ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled and shook her head, Mrs. Cheng was good enough to coax the old lady before, but it didn't end up like that, how much better could Mrs. Cheng be? Living in the Hou Mansion, without a family and children, and with his own dowry, where is it enough to rely on a coaxing mouth?

Mrs. Cheng didn't take Cheng Jin's words to heart, and only pulled Cheng Jin to look at the dowry list with her.

"Auntie, it's still early, but it's just a marriage first." Cheng Jin is not shy, but he is really too lazy to spend time on such a thing as a dowry.

"You know what? The dowry was supposed to be prepared since childhood, but you were stupid in the past, A-Niang originally planned to raise you for a lifetime, and she didn't have time to prepare anything good for you. Now that you have suddenly made a marriage, it is only four or five years since you and Lu got married, and if you don't make the effort to find it, there are many things that you can't find with money. ”

"We don't need so much dowry, if we really have a ten-mile red makeup, the Wen family will laugh at us nouveau riche."

"Naturally, this is the reason, so your dowry must not be sloppy," Mrs. Cheng said with a straight face, "The pomp and circumstance must not be too big, it must be decent, so that people can't find out the reason, although there are not many things, all the things that accompany the marriage must be fine and elegant, and I plan to replace those yellow and white things with calligraphy and painting scrolls." What you want to marry into is the Wen family, the scholarly family values this the most, although the foundation of the Hou Mansion is shallow, but your grandfather's family can also have a little bit of a relationship with the scholarly fragrance, and you can't let them underestimate you too much. I heard that a family has fallen into the house and wants to take away the waste post of Empress Zhuang Jing that is treasured in the family, so I will send someone to see if they can spend two taels of silver to get it back and make a dowry for you......"

"Who's?" Cheng Jin plucked out his ears to confirm that he had heard correctly, "Empress Zhuang Jing? What do you pay her posts for? And it's still a waste post, what's the use? ”

"Although it is a waste post of Empress Zhuang Jing, it is also worth a thousand gold, after all, Empress Zhuang Jing's posts are well received in the palace. Have you forgotten that you yourself in the school were also learning words from Empress Zhuang Jing's scrap post? Even the waste post is enough to make you raise your eyebrows in your in-law's house, and in the future, you will teach your children to be enlightened, and people will not underestimate our Hou Mansion. ”

Cheng Jin didn't know what to say, could she say that she would rather replace Zhao Hua's post with a vulgar yellow and white thing?

"Auntie, am I not as good as Queen Zhuang Jing now?" Cheng Jin sent out a soul torture, she felt that her words were much more chic and agile than back then, and it should be far better than back then, but Mrs. Cheng actually said that she was going to buy Empress Zhuang Jing's scrap post at a high price.

"Don't be so arrogant, it's going to make people laugh when you spread it." Mrs. Cheng hurriedly interrupted her, "Although your handwriting is not bad, but in the end, you lack Empress Zhuang Jing's royal wealth and experience, so naturally you can't compare with Empress Zhuang Jing." ”

Seeing Cheng Jin's ugly face, Mrs. Cheng hurriedly comforted, "My son is already smart and clever, I am afraid that no one in the world can compare with you in this handwriting, as long as you practice diligently, over time, you may be able to compete with Queen Zhuang Jing in the future." ”

Hehe, Cheng Jin was expressionless, he didn't feel comforted at all, he picked up the pen and wrote a small poem on the table with bated breath, "How does A-Niang think this word compares with Empress Zhuang Jing?" ”

Mrs. Cheng looked at it and was taken aback, this poem is the original work of Empress Zhuang Jing, the post is well guarded in the palace, Cheng Jin's hand is completely the same as the one in the palace, if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe that this word was written by her own hand.

"My son's handwriting has improved a little more." Mrs. Cheng didn't know what to say, she was stunned for a long time, and squeezed out such a sentence dryly, no wonder Cheng Jin was reluctant to let her spend money to collect Empress Zhuang Jing's scrap post.
