Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Nose of Ash
The winter moon has arrived, and the first snow is falling, adding a touch of silver to the city.
The inner courtyard of Chengfu is even more joyful, today is the day of the third prince of Cheng and the second lady of the Bai family, Bai Youran Naji, the second master and the second lady prepared a very good goose early, ready to send it to Baifu with a dowry.
Who knew that the steward suddenly came to report: "Second master, second lady, no, the wild goose that was still raised in the backyard yesterday somehow died suddenly!" β
"What?" The second lady's eyes were dark, and she suddenly felt dizzy, and the second old man also had a bad face.
"A bunch of waste, why don't you hurry up and find another one!"
The steward was sweating profusely, and said: "Second master, it is close to Layue Menzi now, the wild geese have already moved south, where to go to find the wild geese again, this one in our house is still specially transported from the south a few days ago, and today is Najib's day, this ...... It's too late! β
"Sir...... How can this be? The auspicious time is approaching, and if the dowry cannot be delivered in time, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to Baifu. β
After all, they were the ones who took the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage, if something went wrong with this stall, the family affairs of the two families would easily collapse, and it would not only affect the reputation of the third child, but also damage the faΓ§ade of the mansion, and the old lady was afraid that she would be angry.
How the second master didn't understand, his brain was full of pain.
"Find a way, no matter what, think of a working way, go! Invite a few lords and sons. β
Almost all of the masters of the Chengfu family were invited to the second room to discuss, only the bamboo courtyard was clean, but the stakes were very high, and the rumors still came.
"This time the matter is a big deal, the second lady of the third son's family is not less worried, she has been yellow twice before, and if something goes wrong this time, the third son's face will be lost."
The girls in the bamboo courtyard discussed privately, and Rong Jin was puzzled, did the third son have such a file before? Huang has had two family affairs, it stands to reason...... With the status of a family in the city, it is not enough!
β¦β¦
Two-room yard.
The eldest master, the third master, and several sons gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
The fourth son, Cheng Zizhang, suddenly said: "I remember...... In the yard of the eldest brother, I have raised two white-feathered geese, and I was so rare that I begged the eldest brother for it, but the eldest brother was not willing to give it to ......"
A different color flashed in Chengsi's eyes, and his eyes were quite gloating.
The temperament of the eldest brother, who doesn't know in the Chengfu, who can have the ability to ask for something from him? It is undoubtedly Tai Sui's head that broke ground.
Now it's a good show.
Cheng Yurun secretly pulled the fourth brother's robe, Cheng Si cleared his throat and pretended to cough: "Ahem...... That, when I didn't say ......"
Cheng San's face is not good, the eldest brother has never treated him very much, don't say that the white feather goose is precious, it is a rare thing, even if it is a stone in the bamboo yard, I am afraid that it will not be given......
The second master licked his lower lip and looked at the eldest master rather vaguely.
"Big brother...... You see, this situation is urgent today, can you go and mention it to Jin Yan in person, and borrow the white feather goose for use first? In the future, let the third child find a better one to send to Yu Jinyan. β
"Yes, yes, saving the scene is like fighting a fire, eldest brother, sister-in-law, brother and sister beg you, but you must help with this!"
Second Mrs. Cheng grabbed the eldest lady's hand and pleaded with her eyes, not that she didn't want to ask in person, but just said that she has that temperament now, in the whole family, except for the old lady and the eldest brother and sister-in-law, who dares to touch that brow.
Even if she goes, I'm afraid she won't have such a big face, and she won't be able to touch her nose.
