Chapter Eighty-Six: The Dowry Turmoil

In the Juxuan Warm Pavilion, Rong sat on the kang. The three sisters of the Qi family, Rong Yunnuan and Yan Mingyue sat around the Rong family, and the girls sent all kinds of tea fruits like flowing water. There are several eight mahogany chairs underground, all covered with dark green elastic ink chairs. Xun Qingran followed Second Mrs. Qi to greet Rong's family, helped Second Mrs. Qi to sit on the chair, and went to hold a bowl of hot tea to Rong's.

This chrysanthemum is an exquisite place in the garden of Qifu, and there are hundreds of chrysanthemums planted around. Because the weather is good today, it is rare for the sun to shine warmly, and a few girls saw that Rong's spirit was good, so they said that they moved Rong's and went to this chrysanthemum to appreciate the chrysanthemum.

After Rong drank tea, Qi Wanrong stepped forward with a smile and showed her embroidered hijab to Rong.

Rong Shi looked at the hijab and praised Qi Wanrong, "You kid also grew up beside me." I can't calm down, but I look much better now, and this needle and thread is doing well. ”

"It's all taught by the old lady." Grandma Qi Er laughed with a smile.

"It's the old lady's birthday in a few days, so the list of treats should be set early and shown to the old lady."

Speaking of Rong's birthday, Second Lady Qi instructed Second Grandma Qi.

"I've already written a few lists, and I'm about to show them to my wife. See if there's anything to add to it, and then show it to the old lady. Grandma Qi replied.

"All I need is wine and meat, and I can listen to play. You are all old people, and you will discuss these things. ”

"Don't worry, the old lady will be lively. Our second master said that he would invite all the famous opera troupes in the capital to make the old lady as lively as possible. Grandma Qi Er smiled.

Rong nodded, "I know that you are filial to me." ”

was talking about the excitement, the eldest lady and Grandma Qi San also arrived, and Grandma Qi San was still followed by the nurse, holding Brother Mao.

Several people greeted Rong, and Rong raised his hand to let them get up.

"Brother Mao is better?" Rong asked the nurse to bring Brother Mao to him and asked.

Brother Mao listened to Grandma Qi San's instructions and gave Rong Shi's advice, but he still twisted his hands and feet, did not speak, and when he had done the salute, he stood in front of Grandma Qi San, and his eyes looked around.

The eldest lady laughed and said, "Thanks to the old lady, the old lady looks at him and is already jumping around like a monkey." ”

Grandma Qi San also laughed and said, "The Imperial Doctor Huang invited that day prescribed two doses of medicine, and it was good to take it." I was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so I specially brought it to the old lady to say goodbye. ”

As Grandma Qi San spoke, she pushed Brother Mao and asked him to sit next to Rong's side. Brother Mao'er stared at Rong and did not step forward.

"Hmm. The child's family, I can't help but toss, he is still stronger, and you should also be careful. Rong said.

"Alas, a few brothers are guarding such a treasure, how dare the daughter-in-law carelessly, I'm afraid that he will have a good one and can't explain it to the ancestors." Grandma Qi San smiled.

Second Grandma Qi raised her eyebrows and turned her face away.

The eldest lady sat down on the first chair on the left, and the nurse stood behind the eldest lady with her arms in her arms.

The third grandmother went to Xun Qingran and stood beside her.

"The fourth brother and sister are diligent people, and they arrive early for everything. It is also the proximity of the fourth brother and sister to the old lady, and there are few things in the yard. Like I was in the Peony Pavilion, I got up before dawn, served the third master, and served my little master, all of which were all in place, and I rushed over again, but I was always one step late. ”

Every time I go to Yinianju to ask the Rong family, the eldest lady and Grandma Qi San are always the last to arrive. Grandma Qi San, is this explaining for this kind of lateness? It's just that this sounds a little uncomfortable.

"The third sister-in-law recently bought me a dowry, which is really hard." Qi Wanrong said.

"The third daughter-in-law did a good job this errand. The old lady trained her twice, and she was a qualified grandmother. The eldest lady said with a smile.

The third brother and sister said this. As if someone blames you for not being diligent. Our old lady is the most reasonable and feels sorry for her children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law. You just said that you have to take care of the third master and Brother Mao, and no one has said anything about you. Second Grandma Qi walked up to Xun Qingran and said to Third Grandma Qi, "I haven't heard you say this before, and now I have to confess in front of the fourth brother and sister, but I'm afraid that the fourth brother and sister will recognize you as lazy."

Second Grandma Qi laughed first after speaking.

Grandma Qi San was said to be a little ugly, but she was originally black and red, even if she was blushing, she couldn't see it.

"The third daughter-in-law is a solid person, with a stupid mouth, she just fell in love with the fourth daughter-in-law, say a few more words, don't make fun of her. Our family has been distressed about my daughter-in-law since the old lady, and I don't pity you for the hard work of the housekeeper, when did you ask to set up rules. The eldest lady drank tea on her seat and looked at this side.

Second Grandma Qi stopped laughing when she heard this, but Third Grandma Qi straightened her waist,

"How's the dowry of the five girls going?" Yung asked.

Grandma Qi San came to the spirit, "...... For the sake of the fifth sister, the daughter-in-law almost didn't dare to sleep. Now that I have purchased **, I will definitely marry my fifth sister in a beautiful way. ”

Rong waved his hand, "Well, if you have something to do, go and get busy." ”

The eldest lady and the third grandmother quit.

Qi Wanrong attached herself to Rong Yunnuan's ear, not knowing what to say. Rong Yunnuan discussed with the Rong family, "Old lady, the dowry of the fifth sister is placed in the small courtyard next to the Peony Pavilion, which is very close to here." The third cousin said that it was so lively, why don't we go and have a look. ”

Qi Wanrong lowered her head shyly.

Qi Wanli also said, "Yes, old lady, the first few sisters got married, we are still young, and this is the first time that the fifth sister has happened." ”

"You picked me out early in the morning to play, I was so tired that I couldn't walk. Go and see for yourselves, and let the second lady lead you. ”

Second Mrs. Qi also said that her physical strength was not good, "Let the second grandmother take you over, and the fourth grandmother will also go with you." ”

"Then welcome the girl, you like to see the excitement, and go away." Yung Road.

Xun Qingran wanted to stay in Juxuan, but Rong Yunnuan pulled her and didn't let go. Everyone got out of Juxuan, and after walking not far, Grandma Qi sighed.

"Why didn't you remind me earlier, why did this matter be delayed?" Second Grandma Qi complained about the eldest girl Dong'er, and turned her head to Xun Qing and smiled a few times, "The weather is cold, and the fifth master has added a warm sedan chair to school, which has to be paid for development, otherwise it can't be done." The fifth master has to endure hardships when he goes to school. I've got to do it quickly, you guys go first, I'll come right away when I've arranged it. ”

Qi Wanrong's face darkened, "A warm sedan chair, isn't it waiting for it immediately, the second sister-in-law is in such a hurry?!" ”

Qi Wanli also stepped forward to grab Qi Er's grandmother, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this little thing has to be done by sister-in-law herself, so what do the people underneath do." Are you too lazy to be with us? ”

Grandma Qi looked at the two of them, "Okay, I have to go with you." ”

Qi Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Qi Er pulled Dong'er aside. whispered a few words and sent Dong'er away.

The people traveled all the way west, turned a moon gate, passed through a hall, and came to a small courtyard next to the garden wall. As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw that the guy's utensils were half of the yard, all painted with new red paint, and there was still the smell of new paint in the air.

The Feng family that Qi Wanrong wants to marry is a native of the north, so there is no bed in Qi Wanrong's dowry, but most of the other internal and external utensils are complete.

The mother-in-law who was watching the yard saw someone coming, and hurriedly came over to greet her, and someone went to inform Grandma Qi San. After a while, Grandma Qi San arrived.

"These are all fine rosewood, nanmu, and made by the top craftsmen in the city." Grandma Qi San pointed to the guys in the yard and boasted, "This is only half of it, and when everything is done, I will invite the sisters to come and see." I do things, what else is there to worry about? It's rare for sisters to come, please come and sit in my peony pavilion. ”

"A few younger sisters love to be lively, so I asked the old lady to come and have a look. This yard is full of stupid guys, who are about to look at the delicate objects in the house, and they are worried that they have no keys, and the third brother and sister have come by coincidence. Quickly open the door of the house and let the younger sisters open their eyes. Second Grandma Qi smiled and said to Third Grandma Qi.

Grandma Qi San was stunned, "This key is not on me, it is for the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law is out." ”

Second Grandma Qi grinned, "Look, the third grandmother is playing with us, and this key is obviously on her body, but she is telling us." As he spoke, he pointed to the bulge under the placket of Grandma Qi San's clothes.

"Look at me, I'm in a hurry when I go out, and I don't even know if I have the key with me." Grandma Qi San couldn't shirk it. I had to open the door slowly.

"It's all expensive stuff, and it's been placed. Just take a look at the girls, don't break up, it's not good to look good when you carry it out. Grandma Qi San said.

―――――――――

Inside the back of the Church of the Good Year.

“…… I heard that my wife was going to the temple to make incense and make a vow, and according to the maid, today is a good day, so it's better to go quickly. ”

"What does Miss Winter mean......"

"This is a piece of filial piety from our grandmother, the wife hurried to the incense, and the old lady didn't need to say it, so as to avoid the evil, and there was no involvement......

――――――――――

Grandma Qi took the lead into the house, and Xun Qingran finally followed. The house is decorated with some delicate furniture, as well as large and small shelves, which are placed with slightly valuable objects, including jade screens, gold bottles, jade bowls, agate plates, and various colored rulers, all tied with red silk.

Grandma Qi San casually pointed to the objects in the house and introduced them one by one, but stopped in front of Grandma Qi and didn't let her get close. Qi Wanrong took the girl to look at it one by one.

"That one is red gold, and if it falls, you can't afford to accompany it if it is sold." Grandma Qi San stopped one of Qi Wanrong's girls, and went to stop another, "This is a tribute from Hangzhou weaving, touch it dirty, and pick your skin." ”

Xun Qingran stood at the door and coughed lightly.

"I can't smell the lacquer, I have to go out and disperse. Second sister-in-law, fifth sister, you take your time. ”

Xun Qingran withdrew from the house, and pulled Rong Yunnuan and Yan Mingyue out by the way.

As soon as the three of them left the door, they heard a commotion in the house. Xun Qingran turned around, and saw that a shelf beside Qi Wanrong had somehow collapsed, the two bottles fell on the ground a few times, and the rulers on the shelf were also scattered on the ground.

"Oh, how did this golden bottle fall...... Lacquer. ”
