Considering Qing Dai's young age, the Shangguan family and the Hua family agreed that they would wait for Qing Dai's birthday in the coming year to get married, and after inviting someone to meet the eight characters, the wedding date was set for the sixth day of February.

Although Shangguan Hong said that he was a little timid about Hua Shaoyan, Hua Shaoyan was also the top diamond king in Shangjing, and he was naturally willing to do this family business, and discussed it with Zhongyi Hou, and did not forget to drink wine for a while.

When Shangguan Hong went home, it was already the middle of the night, and it was not good to disturb the old lady again, so he asked Xiao Feng to go to Rongxi Hall the next day to ask the old lady what she meant, and specially told her: "Lord Hua is a cheerful person, and he said that he would take the mutton fat and white jade double wall given to him by the emperor as a dowry." People give our family face, and we can't help but know how to lift. You, the mother-in-law, have a good snack and help the third girl get the dowry ready. ”

Qingdai married into the Hou Mansion, and it is reasonable to prepare a decent dowry according to the usual practice. It's just that this marriage was given by the emperor, and Qingdai's future mother-in-law is prominent, so all this is another matter. For a face-loving person like Shangguan Hong, the dowry must not only be prepared decently, but also be prepared generously.

As soon as Xiao Feng heard that he would have to pay a large sum of money, he immediately felt a pain in his flesh.

"Master, there are big girls and second girls in front of the head to marry, and the dowries we prepared are almost the same, and the third girl suddenly added a lot of money when she got married, and there are too many big girls and second girls, and Brother Jie should also be married, Qingwei will also discuss marriage in two years, this time I rashly added too much, and I am afraid that the marriage between Brother Jie and Qingwei will not be easy to handle in the future. Besides, when I arrived at the Hua family, there were two sisters-in-law on Qingdai, and I couldn't go past these two. ”

Shangguan Hong also felt that what Xiao Feng said made some sense, but he still shook his head, "The emperor will give you a marriage, if you prepare according to the example of Qingqiang and Qinglian in front of your head." It's really a little less, you go and ask. At least follow the Wang family's routine to prepare the dowry, don't make it too shabby. ”

"Sister Wang left a dowry after she left, anyway, it is all a dowry, so it is better to put it in the dowry list."

The dowry left by the general mother is considered a private house, not as good as a gift list, Xiao Feng's mention of this is to want to give less money from the public.

Shangguan Hong stroked his forehead and thought for a while, "That was left by Wan Niang to Qing Dai, and she has been in charge of her mother." Mother's side won't agree. There is still a surplus of money in the account, so go and prepare it first. If it's not enough, we'll talk about it then. ”

"I'll prepare according to the old practice first, and wait for the dowry list to be sent by Washington in a few days, and then it's not too late to compare and add it."

"Hmm. Just do what you say. ”

Shangguan Hong nodded. It's just that he didn't know what Xiao Feng was saying, but he had another idea in his heart.

The next day, Shangguan Hong went to the yamen, and Xiao Feng made a special trip to ask the old lady for advice. The old lady had no objection, she went to the Spring Courtyard and notified Qingdai.

Qing Dai listened, her face was not too surprised and shy, and she only responded lightly: "Thank you, mother." ”

Xiao Feng snorted coldly in his heart, he hasn't married yet. It's time to put up a shelf. Although he thought so in his heart, Xiao Feng still smiled on his face. "The third girl is young and so calm, no wonder the prince and the young general are very blue-eyed towards the girl, and they all want to marry the girl and enter the door."

Qing Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, Xiao Feng's words were harmless in the past, but now she has made a family relationship with Hua Shaoyan, if outsiders hear this, they don't know where it will go.

"Mother might as well speak up if she has something." Qingdai didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and asked the reason directly.

Xiao Feng sneered, "It's not a big deal. It is a sure thing to have the emperor's holy purpose for this family affair, and now that the date has been set, the next step is to prepare a dowry. The status of the girl's future in-laws is noble, and the dowry must be carefully prepared, so as not to let the family look down on the girl. Hey, the family was fine, but some time ago the master had an accident, and the family made a lot of money, and I originally planned to tell your second brother about family affairs this year, but it was delayed, hey, it's also my mother-in-law who didn't do my best......"

Xiao Feng's face was full of self-blame, as if she was sorry for Shangguan Jie, Qing Dai didn't say anything in her eyes, and probably understood her other intentions today. It's hard to get married, it's hard to pay!

"Now it's the girl, you have decided to marry first, but this happened suddenly, our family still has a large family to support, and I am afraid that it will not be able to slow down for a year and a half. Originally, my sister left some things behind when she didn't pass away, and I thought I couldn't add them to the dowry list. ”

This is the real purpose of her rushing to talk to herself, and she hit the idea on what her mother left behind.

Qing Dai raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at Xiao Feng, "What my mother said is that my family has raised me for so many years, and as a daughter, I should share my mother's worries." ”

Xiao Feng nodded, you are still on the road.

It's just that Qingdai's words below made her laugh, "Over the years, the things left by my mother have been managed by my grandmother, and my daughter doesn't know how many she can have, can it really solve her mother's urgent needs?" Qingdai is a junior, so it's not good to mention this matter to your grandmother, or mother, you should discuss it with your grandmother in person? Anyway, the daughter has full authority to dispose of the things left by the mother, and no matter what the grandmother does, the daughter will not care. ”

Three or two sentences threw the burden back to Xiao Feng's, Xiao Feng's didn't know that if he mentioned it directly in front of the old lady, he would definitely be scolded, and he wanted to let Qing Dai say it herself. It's just that now I saw her covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and she sighed, and she looked lazy and sleepy, obviously not wanting to talk to herself. Xiao Feng's face couldn't hold back, he wanted to have a seizure, and he was thinking about the person Qing Dai was going to marry in the future, and the anger that came up from his head suddenly leaked half.

Qing Dai finished yawning, and smiled apologetically at Xiao Feng, "My daughter is rude, I'm really tired of embroidering wedding clothes these days, I have set a date today, and it's quite tight, if my mother has nothing to do, my daughter wants to continue embroidering." ”

Xiao Feng tugged at the corners of his slightly stiff lips, "Okay, you're busy, I'll go first!" ”

Sent away Xiao Feng's family, Qing Dai put away her lazy color, "The abacus beads are really loud!" ”

Peach Blossom reminded Qingdai: "I heard that when the first two girls married into the palace, many of the dowries were purchased by Aunt Liu. Madame is a person who can hold on to the money and never let go. ”

Xinghua mocked: "My daughter is dedicated to her own family." However, if the fourth girl is older than our girl, maybe Madame will still beat Mrs. Wan's idea of leaving something. ”

The corners of Qing Dai's lips were slightly raised, and her phoenix eyes were half-narrowed, "She wants to pluck the goose, but she also sees if I agree." Peach blossoms, bring pen and paper. ”

Peach blossom promised, took paper and pen to help Qingdai grind. Qing Dai pondered for a while, picked up a pen and wrote a letter in an envelope, and handed it to Xinghua, "When I go home tomorrow, I will send the letter to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion by the way, and hand it over to him or Chen Xuan in person, don't go through the hands of others." ”

Xinghua raised her eyebrows excitedly, "Girl, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it." ”

Qing Dai saw Xinghua's expression, and couldn't help pouting: "My head is full of those words and words, your girl has no leisure to play with Hongyan to pass on books and send lovesickness." ”

"And what do you want ......?"

Qing Dai pursed her lips and smiled, "The money in your hand doesn't have to be a waste, it's a shame to waste, girl, I kindly help others spend a flower, so as not to be moldy." ”

Since meeting with Qing Dai that night, Hua Shaoyan has not seen Qing Dai for more than ten days, when he got the letter handed to him by Chen Xuan, and saw the beautiful and beautiful five words "Hua Shaoyan personally opened" on the envelope, the corners of his lips couldn't help but appear a smile, and he hurriedly opened the seal and took out the letter paper to take a closer look.

It's just that Hua Shaoyan's smile became more and more weird the further back he went, and Chen Xuan, who was guarding the side, poked his neck curiously and looked at it twice, secretly wondering, Shangguan girl didn't know what love words were written in the letter, why did the boss look a little crying and laughing with this expression?

After reading the letter, Hua Shaoyan rubbed his chin and thought for a while, waved his hand to beckon Chen Xuan to come closer, and whispered a few words in his ear. The corners of Chen Xuan's mouth twitched when he heard this, "Isn't this okay?" ”

"You compare the dowry and dowry list of the two sisters-in-law, and add more as appropriate. Remember, don't let others find out when you act. ”

Hua Shaoyan looked at the ink words written all over the white paper in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking that the girl missed me, it turned out that she was thinking about the calculating person.

He picked up the letter and was reluctant to accept it, but it was Qingdai's first letter to him, he read it again from beginning to end, and finally sighed helplessly, "I didn't even have a word of thanks, this girl really didn't treat me as an outsider." ”

Xiao Feng changed his way to coax Shangguan Hong to be happy, so he asked him to accompany him to see the old lady, so he mentioned the dowry left by Wang Wanniang to the old lady, and the old lady resolutely opposed the inclusion of the things left by Wang Wanniang into the dowry. ”

"Let the mother bother, and the daughter-in-law panic." Xiao Feng said on his lips, secretly saying in his heart that the old lady was biased, but it was a good thing to take the opportunity to explore the old lady's family, and the most important thing was to make himself less money.

It's just that a few days after Xiao Feng's wishful thinking was made, the Hua family's dowry list arrived.

The expression on Xiao Feng's face seemed to have overturned the five-color palette and became more and more exciting, and he put the gift slip on the kang with a "snap", looking at the ink-colored handwriting on the sprinkling of gold and red paper, his brows were frowning, and he was angry.

"I can't see that the little hoof is not small, so that the prince of Chengguo will never forget to say it, and he also fascinates a young general who is known as the 'jade-faced killer', and such a heavy dowry list can be hired by the county lord and the county lord."

Seeing this, Xinxiang was relieved: "Madam, the Hua family also gave such a heavy dowry to our house." ”

"The face is there, and the lining is given to others." Xiao Feng's flesh hurts when he thinks about it, and he doesn't save the last one when he wants to save money.

"Didn't the old lady promise to give you some subsidies?"

"I'm afraid that adding what the old lady promised is not enough." Xiao Feng's chest rose and fell, he knew that the old lady should have asked more when he promised, and now that the words are out, it will be no fun to turn back. (To be continued.)
