Chapter 555: Reckoning (2)
After feeding Yan Yue half a bowl of porridge and water, after a while, feeding half a bowl of medicine, and then helping her wipe it well, Shu Yin can be regarded as relaxed.
"It's time for us to settle the score."
"Okay." Yan Xiaoji looked at her dotingly, she was wearing a very ordinary set of clothes and pants, and her hair was tied into a pair of braids and hung on her chest.
Simple, clean, and full of wit.
Where there is a mother's appearance, she is simply an unmarried girl.
Yan Xiaowei touched her face distressedly, "I've lost weight." ”
"It's okay, when you control the size."
"Nonsense, you can, baby can't." Yan Xiaoji pulled her in, clamped her feet with her thighs, and helped her wipe off the beads of sweat, "When you get home, you must make up for it." ”
Shu Yin wrapped her hand around his neck and said with a smile: "Then I have gained weight, and you are not allowed to dislike me." ”
"No, silly girl." Yan Xiaoyu smiled and scratched her nose and kissed her on the forehead.
"Alright, let's start reckoning!" Shu Yin rolled up her sleeves and beckoned to Xiao Xiang, who was standing not far away.
Xiao Xiang hurriedly walked over.
"Did you find it?"
"Found it. Madame has a copy. Xiao Xiang took out an envelope from his pocket.
"What is it?" Yan Xiaoji was curious.
Shu Yin smiled and opened the envelope and pulled out a stack of papers, "Dowry list." ”
Yan Xiaoji raised his eyebrows, "This ...... Do you think of it? ”
"Of course, you can't be cheaper surnamed Zheng, dare to bully Sister Yue like this." Shu Yin's eyes widened and she read the ten pages.
"Actually...... Dad and mother still love Sister Yue. ”
Yan Xiaoji nodded, "Yes." After all, the eldest sister was the first person in the Yan family to marry. At that time, the Zheng family was very prestigious in the northwest, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty ended, but the Zheng family was still in charge of the northwest grain road, and a lot of our Yan family's military food came from the Zheng family. ”
"No wonder there are so many dowries." Shu Yin looked at it and smacked her tongue.
"It's a full 108 cars." Yan Xiaoji's voice sank, "Who knew that when my sister got married, the Zheng family actually accepted a concubine at the same time, and carried it into the door on the same day, and that night, Zheng Dongming actually slept in the concubine's room!" This is what the eldest sister told me later. ”
Shu Yin glared, "It's too much!" ”
"The Zheng family knew about my sister and Meng Yitian, and their affairs were rumored at that time. Dad also wanted to save the face of the Yan family and make up for the Zheng family, so the dowry was extraordinarily large. ”
"And how did you get rid of it?"
Once Yan Yue was removed from the Yan family, then she would completely lose the Yan family's backer.
Yan Xiaoji sighed, "The eldest sister is also fierce. Knowing that she was pregnant, she ran home and must be reconciled, the Zheng family is extremely face-saving and will never tolerate the divorce of the eldest daughter-in-law. They forced our family, and my father, in a fit of anger, expelled the eldest sister from the family and escorted her back. ”
Shu Yin felt a pain in her heart, "Being sent back like this, the Zheng family trampled on her even more." ”
"Yes." Yan Xiaojian suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Hmph, you can't be cheap for the Zheng family." Shu Yin turned her head to Xiao Xiang and said, "If you invite the old lady of the Zheng family and Zheng Dongming to come over, just say that I have something to say." ”
"Yes!"
Shu Yin went back to the room to get a piece of paper, a pen, and an inkstone, walked out of the courtyard, and put things on the stone table in the courtyard.
Yan Xiaoji immediately approached the room and took a cushion and put it on the stone chair.
Shu Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, husband." ”
After a while, Mrs. Zheng was supported by Zheng Dongming, followed by a large number of aunts watching the excitement. There are also a few young masters and young ladies, I don't know if it's Zheng Dongming's or the children of other brothers in the Zheng family.
There was only one stone table, four stone chairs, and no other chairs in the courtyard.
Shu Yin and Yan Xiaowei sat on the stone chairs, naturally there was no place for them to sit, and Old Madam Zheng's face was ugly.
