Chapter 166: Dowry

The corners of Xiao Xia's mouth twitched, and she rolled her eyes in her heart, why did she regret it a little, she should have made this second goods far away, and now she has become her uncle, she is really a good person!

"The dowry is set, and the wedding date is also set!" Shen Shouli took a puff of cigarette, he didn't care about the dowry, now hurry up and marry Shen Hui, saving his reputation is the key, although his reputation can't be saved.

The marriage date must be as soon as possible, Mrs. Jia is reluctant to have a daughter and doesn't want to speak. The Zhang family was not very happy to marry this shameless daughter-in-law, and they were reluctant to speak.

The room was silent.

"Grandpa, you're going to do it!"

Old Man Shen puffed up a few more puffs of dry smoke, frowned, and swallowed the clouds.

"The twenty-second of March is a good day, so let's set that day!"

"It's fourteen today, isn't it only eight days until twenty-two? It's too fast. After all, Mrs. Jia was still reluctant to give up her old girl, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.

"It's set on this day, what do you think?"

The Zhang family's father and mother didn't make a sound, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

By the time I left, it was already dark.

Shen Zhong walked in front, Xiao Xia followed behind, the spring breeze at night was a little piercing, Xiao Xia wrapped the cotton clothes on his body tightly. The father and daughter were silent all the way, Shen Hui's matter was a blow to Shen Zhong, after all, it was his old sister who watched him grow up, and he was a little uncomfortable to marry so embarrassed.

When he just left, Shen Zhong was stopped by his mother, meaning to ask Shen Zhong to prepare more dowry for Shen Hui, and Shen Zhong agreed in one bite.

Xiao Xia was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't refute it face-to-face, Shen Zhong was a soft-eared person, and it was too easy to sway his attention.

On March 16, the wind and rain came together, and this was the first rain of spring, auspicious.

The spring rain stopped after a short while, moistening the bluestone slab road of Jiuyang City, and a carriage drove to an inconspicuous alley without hurry and stopped.

A little girl wearing a mask got out of the carriage and looked up at the sky, where the sky had cleared in the morning, and there were still traces of clouds like cotton wool.

"You're here, come in, it'll be auspicious soon." A familiar voice, with a cold voice and a gentle voice.

No one noticed that Shen Xiaoxia had been welcomed into the Fengyun Hotel.

Fengyun Hotel has a total of six floors, it can be said that it is the tallest building in Jiuyang City, as far as the eye can see, with a milky white European style, tall floor-to-ceiling windows made of glaze, white marble exterior walls and high pointed roofs, tall and majestic buildings and exaggerated exquisite reliefs, and the entire Jiuyang City is a little incompatible, but it is more eye-catching, as long as people passing by will look inside curiously.

In the hall on the first floor, there is a two-zhang long pearl chandelier hanging on it, and directly below the chandelier is a corresponding circular performance stage, on which various musical instruments are placed, and musicians in gorgeous costumes are playing.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the festive salute rang out.

Shen Xiaoxia stood in front of the window on the third floor of the restaurant, looking at the endless stream of nobles who came to congratulate him, with a smile on his face.

"Duan Yuhong still has two hits, I didn't expect him to invite so many people."

"Any family in Shangjing is an unspeakable figure here, not to mention that he is still the son of the Duan family in Shangjing, who dares not to give a little face."

"Who's that?"

Xiao Xia noticed a simple and low-key carriage at a glance on the lively street, but there were soldiers following the carriage all around, and he knew that it must be a high-ranking official.

I saw the carriage passing by the door of the Fengyun Hotel, but it didn't stop and went away.

"That's He Shen, the minister of the Imperial Mission sent by the Emperor of Shangjing to Zezhou to check the salt transportation."

"Heshen? Is it a big corrupt official? ”

The ghost glanced at Xiao Xia strangely, and said suspiciously: "Who did you listen to, if Lord He is a corrupt official, there will be no clean officials in the world, and he was sent to be the minister of the Qin Mission because he was honest and honest." ”

"Oh! He has a good reputation? ”

"He is a clear stream of the Kyushu Dynasty."

Hearing the affirmation of He Shen by the ghost, Xiao Xia looked at the carriage that had disappeared on the corner of the street, touched his chin and said, "If we can invite the minister to stay at the Fengyun Hotel for one night, the reputation of our Fengyun Hotel will be started." ”

"Then don't think about it, Lord He only lived in the post station all the way, and he ate two dishes and one soup, but the officials in Zezhou were miserable, and they couldn't start if they wanted to give gifts."

"Really?"

The opening of the Fengyun Hotel has been making money day by day, and the branches of the Fengyun Hotel in a big city in Zezhou have opened one after another, and since then there is no one in the land of Zezhou who does not know the Fengyun Hotel.

After the Fengyun Hotel, the construction of the new Baijin Building began.

Seven days flew by.

Tomorrow is the day when Shen Hui gets married, and Shen Zhi, who is far away in Jiuyang City, also comes back, but he comes back alone, his face is very bad, Shen Hui has embarrassed him, he came back to clean up the mess, and it is strange that his face is good.

In the past few days, Mrs. Jia urged three times, forcing Shen Zhong to prepare a dowry.

Today, he also brought Shen Hui to the door in person, with a posture of not letting her be satisfied.

There is still a small fire in the copper stove in the small living room, which is warm, Xiao Wang's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and there are two or three months to give birth, every day in addition to eating is when sleeping. But when the mother-in-law came to the door with her sister-in-law, she dared to take a nap, so she could only sit with her.

"Second child, how are you preparing for the marriage, your old sister will get married tomorrow, I will definitely want her to marry in a beautiful way, so that no one dares to underestimate her."

Shen Xiaoxia really turned a blind eye before, but people just didn't know what it meant to accept it when they saw it.

"I heard that the third uncle is back today, I don't know how much rich dowry the third uncle prepared for my sister-in-law, and I opened my eyes to the truth."

Shen Xiaoxia said a word, and the old lady Jia's face turned red, but Shen Zhi came back empty-handed, and he didn't even get back a tael of silver.

Shen Hui sat on the side, her eyes were about to pop out, she knew in her heart that it was Shen Xiaoxia who harmed her, but what could she do, even if everyone knew the truth, she still had to marry Zhang Baosheng, and she would marry tomorrow, so it was true that she should get more dowry for herself.

"Xiao Xia, you come with me." Shen Hui got up and walked out as she spoke.

Xiao Xia knew what Shen Hui was looking for him, so he calmly got up and smoothed the folds on his skirt, and walked out after him.

I walked all the way to the thatched pavilion in the backyard, and the pond next to the pavilion was the auspicious new spring water, and when it was warmer, the fish fry were planted.

Shen Hui turned around and took a deep breath, but the viciousness in her eyes couldn't be contained.

"You're the one who hurt me, aren't you?"

"What do you say? I don't get it. "Shen Xiaoxia would be a fool if he admitted it, and it was very simple to pretend to be stupid.

"You don't have to deny it, I know you're hurting me."

"I don't understand what you're trying to say?"

Xiao Xia hooked the corners of her mouth and looked at the other party's hair that was about to stand up, and her heart was very calm. The smug little eyes seemed to say, it's me, what can you do?

Shen Hui now comes to blame herself confidently, when she framed her sister three times and twice, she could have imagined that there would be today.
