Chapter 148: A Woman Without a Dowry Is Like a Root

On Sun's 20th birthday, some distant relatives will arrive on the 10th. Sun's maiden family came this year is Sun's nephew, her eldest brother's eldest son.

The Sun family is a person from the capital, and the Sun family has also grown up in Beijing since childhood, and has seen the prosperity of the capital, and married to the small county town of Qingcheng, Shandong. But no matter how unaccustomed you are, more than 30 years have passed, and the Sun family is not the squeamish and somewhat willful eldest lady of the Sun family when she first entered the mansion, but the patriarch's wife of the Qingcheng Wang family, and Huafa has given birth to a full house of children and grandchildren. The memories of the Sun family in the capital faded year by year.

"I remember that when I got married in Qingcheng, Yuan Hong was only six years old, and he also got in when I entered the sedan chair, and I couldn't persuade him." Sun sighed at Mama Chang.

"Yes, I remember that in the end, it was my uncle who came to arrest the young master in person. Old lady, when you are at home, you often take him everywhere, and you are the most reluctant to marry him. "Mama Chang accompanied Sun's nostalgia.

This is also the reason why Mama Chang's position in the backyard is becoming more and more stable, people will like to always think of things when they were young when they are older, and if there are people around who know the past, they will have a good chat. Now the only person who can answer the conversation around the Sun family is Mama Chang, Sun's dowry maid back then.

"Yuan Hong is also thirty ** this year, right?"

"I'm forty, and my youngest son is six years old." Mama Chang reminded.

"Oh, is it the youngest son who came with him this time?" Sun received the letter yesterday, but there were so many things at that time that he didn't remember it at all.

"This time with Young Master Yuan Hong is the third ranked young master, who is eleven years old this year. It's a little younger than our fifth young master. ”

When Sun heard this, he glanced at Sanniang and other granddaughters who were sitting on the side listening to them: "That's about the same age as Sanniang." ”

"Oh. I remember, is it the concubine born to the favorite concubine? Sun frowned: "I heard that he was born and was calculated to be fated, and he was a blessing." Why did you bring him this time? Sun has been more and more concerned about this since the last haunting incident, and when he heard that his nephew had brought such a bad son to her birthday banquet, he was a little unhappy.

Mama Chang hurriedly said: "This third young master was just born when he was short of gold in the five elements, and he was ordered to commit seven killings. This kind of personality has no effect on others, but it is a little less blessed for himself. ”

Sun nodded, still a little unhappy.

At this time, someone outside reported that the eldest lady accompanied the eleventh old lady and the sixth lady over. This Sixth Miss is the sixth Miss in the clan, not the Sixth Lady.

Hearing this, Sun paused: "Please come in." ”

After a while, the Jin family led the eleventh old lady in. They were followed by a handsome girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.

The eleventh old lady stepped forward to greet the Sun family, and asked her granddaughter to kowtow to the Sun family to say goodbye.

"Old lady, look at Qi'er, she looks so smart. I heard Aunt Eleven say that she also does very good needlework. Jin stepped forward and pulled Wang Qi's sleeve and praised him. Wang Qi lowered his head very shyly.

Today, only Yuan Niang, Sanniang and Wu Niang came to the Sun family to ask for peace. Sanniang glanced at each other, both a little confused. The Jin family usually has a bit of a high and low attitude towards most of the people in the clan. I remember seeing this eleventh old lady and sixth cousin in the past, they had a very cold and generous attitude, how could they be so enthusiastic today?

Sun glanced at Jin, but his heart was bright. The Jin family came to her room early this morning to find her, and told her that the girl in the clan had replaced Liuniang. And for the sake of the reputation of all the unmarried women of the Wang family, he married her to the man who saved Liuniang that night.

Sun thought about it and felt that this method was not impossible.

Liuniang and Siniang. One is the concubine of Dafang, and the other is also Bai'er's blood and bones. are all her granddaughters, so naturally the better she marries, the more she will have a long face.

When she asked Mama Chang to prepare a thank-you gift that day, she had already inquired about the man's family history. The man is seventeen this year, his family is in Tsing Yi Lane, which is near the river, he is not married, and there are only two brothers and an eldest sister who has been married.

And this girl in the eleventh room, her father was originally the thirteenth in the clan. I was also admitted to the lifting of people back then, and I had an official position of six grades. Just when the future was limitless, he got sick and died, so this life! Sometimes you have to believe.

Shortly thereafter. Wang Thirteen's wife also went with him, and now only two daughters are left in the family to live with their grandmother. On weekdays, he mostly relies on the help of the clan.

It's just that today's famous families have to look at the woman's dowry to ask for marriage. These two girls in the eleventh room. The talents are all the best, but it's hard to talk about the marriage match. It's not appropriate to have a low door. The old lady Eleven had mentioned it many times in front of her, asking her to help pay attention to whether there was a suitable person who could say goodbye to her two granddaughters. But she was busy, and this matter had been dragged on like this, and the eleventh old lady had not mentioned it for a long time.

It would be good if he could tell the Liu girl in the clan to the man, the eleventh room is already living in poverty, and the two girls can't get a decent dowry when they get married. If she helped the two girls to pay their dowries, what else would the people in the eleventh room not want to do?

If the eleventh room goes along with her wishes, she will help the ninth-ranked girl find a good family in the future, and she will have the dowry she has added. Then they can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

"She's a good girl." Sun looked at Wang Qi and asked the eleventh old lady with a smile: "I don't know if I kissed it?" ”

The eleventh old lady hurriedly said, "Not yet." It's just that a few days ago, people from her mother's uncle's family came, and Qi'er's aunt liked Qi'er very much after seeing her, and saw that Qi'er was as old as her second child, so she had the meaning of kissing and kissing. said that he would find someone to settle the matter in a few days. ”

This is a good family, the mother's maiden family, and the future mother-in-law are satisfied, and it is no wonder that the eleventh old lady has not complained about her granddaughter's marriage for several days.

Wang Qi listened to the elders talk about his marriage, and he had already lowered his head with a flushed face, but although the smile on the corner of his lips was a hint of shyness, he was happy after all. Looking at her like this, she was willing to do it herself.

Wu Niang looked curiously on the side, and squeezed her eyes towards Yuan Niang and San Niang beside her.

Hearing this, the Jin family frowned, and glanced at the Sun family.

Sun didn't see it, but he groaned: "How old is your daughter-in-law's nephew this year?" ”

The eleventh old lady thought for a moment and replied, "It's sixteen this year. ”

Sun frowned: "This is closer to Qi'er's age." ”

When the eleventh old lady heard this, her face was a little hesitant, but Wang Qi didn't care about being shy, but looked at her grandmother with a nervous expression.

The eleventh old lady glanced at her granddaughter and said with a smile: "It's also a year older, and I look at that kid is very good, and I like it in my heart." It would be a pity if such a good family was missed. ”

When Wang Qi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to lower his head with a red face.

"It's a pity to miss such a good relative, but don't you have a granddaughter at home? I remember being a year younger than Kier. ”

"This ......" The eleventh old lady looked at Sun, a little puzzled how Sun could be so concerned about her granddaughter's marriage today, every time she mentioned it to her before, didn't she always pay attention to it?

Sun saw Wang Qi standing a little nervously on the side, although his three granddaughters were sitting upright, those two ears were erect, thinking that it was a little inappropriate to mention marriage in front of the younger generations.

"You accompany your six cousins to sit down for a while inside, and treat them well." Sun explained to his three granddaughters.

Although they were a little disappointed that they couldn't hear the gossip, the three of them still stood up very obediently. Wang Qi glanced at his grandmother with some concern, and then followed the three sisters to the left side of the Sun family. The room on the left is a small hall, which is used to receive close female guests on weekdays.

After the four of them entered, Wang Qi sat near the door, paying attention to the movement in the bright room.

Sanniang remembered that this sixth cousin was the woman who made a wish on the fifteenth day of the river lantern, and she seemed to have secretly promised that cousin. Thinking of the strange behavior of the Sun family and the Jin family today, Sanniang also had some doubts in her heart, which one was singing today.

"It's a little impermeable, and it's a little stuffy. Go and put the curtain up. Sanniang instructed a little maid who came to serve refreshments.

The little maid put down the box containing all kinds of dried snacks and fruits in her hand, and went to open the curtains and hang them on the copper hooks on both sides.

Seeing this, Wang Qi thought that his mind had been broken, and he was a little embarrassed. But the worry about her marriage made her not take care of being reserved, and she still paid careful attention to the movements outside.

The curtain opened, and the sound outside became clearer.

I only listened to Sun's words: "According to my opinion, your daughter-in-law's nephew is still a little more compatible with the nine girls, so let's give it to the nine girls." ”

When Wang Qi heard this, his face turned white, and his pearl-like teeth bit his lower lip tightly.

"It's just that it's Qi'er over there......" Old Lady Eleven said with a smile.

"Qi'er, I'll make another arrangement for her." Sun said categorically.

Seeing that the eleventh old lady didn't speak, Sun said lightly: "I remember that your daughter-in-law's maiden family is also a family with some face in Linxian?" ”

"Yes, the Gao family is also a prominent family in Xincheng." Old lady Eleven was busy.

Sun sighed and said slowly: "Then their family must be more than your daughter-in-law and brother." Qi'er and her maternal uncle, even if they feel sorry for this niece, they don't have a decent dowry, and they can't hold their heads up in front of their concubines when they get married. In this way, life must be difficult. ”()
