After all, although she is her husband's concubine, she is also the head of the Cao family, and the Cao family is above the rivers and lakes, and she is still a family with a head and a face.

Before this Mei Qian came, he didn't expect that the person who met him was not the leader of the martial arts alliance, but the head of the Cao family.

Although it is said that the family is the concubine of the leader of the martial arts alliance, no one knows that when the old alliance leader passed away, the alliance leader promised in front of the Cao family's clan relatives that if it was the first son born in Manxue's womb, let him follow his mother's surname.

It can be seen that this Cao Manxue's identity is extraordinary! If you think you're going to hit a wall after a while.

But after all, the owner sent himself here, if he can't do it, he will have to be scolded after he goes back, so it is better to say it directly.

"Don't hide it from Mrs. Concubine, the villain came this time on the order of the owner of our family, and came to agree with the master of the martial arts alliance when to get married."

"Marriage?" Man Xue raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth were wantonly hooked, "You mean, the owner of your family and the leader of my family are married?" ”

"Yes......" After realizing that something was wrong, Mei Qian hurriedly changed her words, "Ah! No! Be...... My second lady...... Marriage with the Alliance. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Man Xue casually changed to a slightly more enchanting posture, squinted her eyes and said, "Your second lady, is it as beautiful as Mrs. Ben?" ”

"This ......"

After stealing a glance at the expression of the upper seat, Steward Mei couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

It is clear that no matter how this question is answered, it will cost human lives.

If he says that his young lady is beautiful, then the concubine will not be happy, and if he says that his own young lady is not as good as the concubine, then even if the family has a reason to refuse the marriage directly.

After pondering for a long time, Mei Qian finally flattened her mouth and pretended to be stupid

"The concubine and the lady are Mingjian, the villains are all the same good-looking, and they can't tell the difference."

"Yo~ Steward Mei really has a clever mouth!" Man Xue feigned a smile, and then continued to say in a high voice, "I don't know how much dowry your mansion has prepared for the second lady?" Can you tell Mrs. Ben about it? ”

When asked about this, Mei Qian hurriedly took out a piece of rice paper full of words from her sleeve pocket, and gestured to hand it to Man Xue.

"This is Meijiazhuang's dowry for the young lady, please take a look at the concubine's wife......"

"No need, you can miss it!"

"Yes." Opening the rice paper in his hand, Steward Mei gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and read according to the words on the list

"The second lady's dowry list is a pair of purple jade Ruyi, four sets of jade jewelry, four sets of agate jewelry, four sets of gold jewelry, two sets of platinum jewelry, two sets of gold and silver thread four seasons clothes, sixteen boxes of rouge gouache, one jade screen of purple cloud fairy phoenix, two pieces of carved Nanmu screen......"

"Alright, alright!!" Before Steward Mei finished reading, Man Xue hurriedly interrupted impatiently.

"Mrs. Concubine, the villain hasn't finished reading half of it! Your ......"

Seeing Steward Mei's stunned look, Manxue felt a tightness in his chest for no reason.

"Are you Mei family selling girls? So much more

What is dowry? ”

"Mrs. Concubine doesn't know, when the eldest lady of our family gets married, there are many more dowries than this! Although the second lady is a concubine, it is also our owner from a baby to a big one, and this marriage is a big deal, so it is natural to do it properly! ”

Hearing this, Manxue just snorted lightly and coldly.

"Mrs. Ben has never seen your second lady! How do you know if your young lady is worthy of my husband? Anyway, I have to let Mrs. Ben check for her husband first, right? ”

As soon as he heard this, Steward Mei knew that this concubine was deliberately making things difficult again.

After all, girls from ordinary families are not allowed to interact with men from the outside world before they leave the cabinet, and they only listen to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Although her own young lady behaves more flamboyantly on weekdays, it is not the turn of a concubine to come to check it, right?

It's just that he thinks about it in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it!

After all, behind this concubine and wife, there is a big tree of the Cao family, so you have to be careful when you speak, and you must not offend this aunt.

"This ...... At the beginning, the leader of the alliance had been to our Meijiazhuang, and he had also met with my young lady, and this marriage was originally promised by the leader of the alliance. ”

Manxue heard Xiao Jiu mention it before, the second lady of the Mei family has not yet married, so she shamelessly climbed into her husband's bed, look at the meaning of this Mei steward, if he doesn't agree today, he doesn't plan to leave.

After thinking about it, anyway, my husband's life is a concubine, even if this Miss Mei Er marries, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Thinking of this, Man Xue had no choice but to pretend to squint generously and sneer

"Mrs. Ben is just joking with Steward Mei, since my husband has agreed, I should be one with my husband and concubine, but I don't know when Miss Mei plans to leave the cabinet?"

"Before I came, the owner of my family ordered someone to calculate, next month is a good day, it is appropriate to marry, I don't know what the concubine and wife want?"

Ay! Who made this Cao Manxue's identity precious! Otherwise, if you get married in the main house, you will nod with a small concubine.

"Hmmm! It's indeed a good day, but it takes nearly a month to go back and forth from Changchun Lake to Yinglin Garden, and it won't be postponed for a month. ”

Manxue was thoughtful, after all, her husband's ears have not yet recovered, not to mention that if she lets that woman enter the house a month later, she will be comfortable for a month, but I don't know if this Mei steward can agree.

"A month off?"

After carefully calculating the time, Mei Qian couldn't help but say distressedly

"Mrs. Concubine, if you push back another month, it will be a desperate day, and it will be difficult to get married on this day, right?"

"Mrs. Ben doesn't understand this, if Steward Mei thinks it's inappropriate, go back and discuss it with Master Mei again! Come! Drop-off! ”

After finishing speaking, Manxue was about to get up, and when Steward Mei saw it, he immediately issued an eviction order, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

Until the snow broke and walked to greet the guests

At the entrance of the hall, a maid walked in from outside the door and made a gesture of invitation to her, "Steward Mei, please!" ”

Mei Qian saw that it would be boring for her to stay any longer, so she had to arch her hand

"The villain will go back first and ask the owner of the village, and then come back to reply! Tell...... Farewell ......"

On the way back to Changchun Lake from Yinglin Garden, Mei Qian always had a feeling of uneasiness.

But I really can't blame myself, although the second lady is the daughter of the concubine, but the owner regards it as a pearl in the palm of his hand, although this time has delayed a lot of time, but he can't easily agree to the proposal of the concubine!

After all, if you get married on a desperate day, there will be a lot of troubles in the future, and he can't afford to be the master of this little steward.

A few days later, after Steward Mei returned to Changchun Lake, he immediately conveyed the meaning of Manxue to Mei Fangyuan.

The old man was displeased when he heard this

"That Cao Manxue really said that?"

"Yes, owner! What do you say about this? ”

Mei Qian had a bitter face, and her face couldn't help but be sad.

Hearing this, Mei Fangyuan fell into deep contemplation.

It seems that my previous worries have still happened.

Sure enough, my daughter wants to marry into Yinglin Yuan, it's not so easy!

Just when the two were at a stalemate, Mei Zihan suddenly walked in from outside the door.

"Dad, Steward Mei, what are you talking about?"

As soon as I saw my father's cloudy face, I knew that it should be a tricky thing.

"Zi Hui! Steward Mei just came back from Yinglin Garden, and he was talking about the days when you got married! Originally, my father planned to let you get married on the twentieth of next month, but the concubine of the alliance leader said that it took too long to go back and forth from Changchun Lake to Yinglin Garden, and he insisted on postponing the wedding date by one month. ”

"Postponement is postponement! With an extra month, let my daughter be filial to her father before she gets married, isn't it? ”

She is not in a hurry, as long as Meng Jiu's stinky boy does not regret it.

"Oops! Daughter, you don't know, next month 20 is a once-in-a-lifetime day! It is forbidden to marry and mourn, otherwise, there will be a lot of bad things in the future! ”

"It doesn't matter! My daughter doesn't believe that! Anyway, as long as the concubine lady doesn't stop me from marrying Meng Lang. ”

"This ...... This, this, this...... You girl, your father blushes for you, and you haven't married someone else! Why is it all day long? ”

"Oh Dad, sooner or later! I won't tell you, I have to take advantage of this time to go to the warehouse to pick two weapons in hand, I heard that Cao Manxue is also a practitioner, I can't be easily bullied by her! ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mei Fangyuan to say anything, Mei Ziyan had already gone in the direction of the outside of the hall.

It wasn't until Mei Zihan's figure disappeared at the door that Steward Mei looked at Mei Fangyuan with a bitter face.

"The owner...... How do you reply to Yinglin Yuan about this? ”

With a long sigh, Mei Fangyuan had no choice but to wave his hand and said helplessly

"Anyway, it's her own business, since Zi Wei doesn't care about the day, the old man is lazy

You have to worry about so much, the sun will be the sun! It's a big deal that she will not be happy in the future, and when she returns to Changchun Lake, this ten thousand family fortunes are all hers!! ”

Anyway, he is an old man, and it is useless to let him guard these family businesses for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that he has no children under his knees, only Ziqing and Zihuan's two daughters, who will marry in the future.

If after marrying Yinglin Yuan, Zi Huan is wronged, she can come back to inherit the ancestral family business, but it is not a step back!

"Then the little one sent someone to send a message to Ying Lin Yuan, and promised to come down?"

"Hmmm! Go, go, go! ”

After nodding heavily, Mei Fangyuan waved his hand tiredly, signaling him to do it!

……

Since learning that Dongzhu was taken away by Fei Yun, Ah Yang immediately reported the matter back to Shi Ru.

"My lord, this matter is very important, please send someone to find the person who took Dongzhu earlier."

"Hmmm! You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I will send Wen Yan to handle this matter, I believe he will definitely be able to find Dongzhu's whereabouts. ”

Shi Ru is very important to his nephew and is also very optimistic, after all, Shi Wenyan has been by his side since he was a child, and he has learned a lot of skills.
