Chapter 229: Too Little (Pink 140)
Chapter 229 is too little (Pink 140)
Ming Fei saw that she was coughing non-stop, how could she dare to enjoy this blessing? took the orange and gave it to Gong Zhongsu: "Father-in-law, please use oranges." (Apex hand-beaten)" made up her mind in her heart, if Aunt Zhu didn't know how to count and had to peel it, she would send it next to her. Thanks to Gong Yanbi seeing it, she coughed lowly, and Aunt Zhu smiled and stopped sticking it up.
Gong Zhongsu glanced at the orange in front of him, twisted his beard, and coughed lowly: "Daughter-in-law, you have worked hard these days." ”
Hey? What did they do that deserved to tell him about his hard work as soon as they met? It's not like wearing a high hat first, and then forcing them to go to Liangshan, right? Ming Fei muttered to herself in her heart, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, Yuanhe and his daughter-in-law didn't do anything, and they didn't dare to say that they were hard. ”
Gong Zhongsu smiled slightly: "I heard that the traitor surnamed Hong is about to be convicted, and the money that was greedy for our family will be returned soon." Isn't this the result of far and hard work? Among them, you also have a share of credit. ”
Why had she never heard Gong Yuanhe say this? Ming Fei's heart jumped suddenly, and he was about to speak, but Gong Zhongsu said to himself: "It's just right, with this money, when you come to the Guo family to propose marriage, you can handle your second sister's affairs smoothly." She is not young, and she is big, I thought, it is best to do it quickly, this should be done to be done, your aunt is not in good health, many things are weak, I can't take care of it, and when the time comes, I will have to worry about you as a sister-in-law. After speaking, he looked at Ming Fei earnestly, his face full of expectations.
Gong Yanbi saw the stitches, and stepped forward to face Ming Fei with a deep blessing: "Sister-in-law, I'm causing you trouble." ”
Ming Fei smiled and helped her up: "Second sister is polite, I haven't done anything yet, so I will thank you first." You also know that I haven't been through a big event, and if I accidentally make a mistake, wouldn't I be ashamed? I still have to be in charge of my aunt, otherwise I will lose face and lose the face of the Gong family, but I can't afford it. ”
Second Mrs. Gong lowered her head and fiddled with her nails, pouting coldly: "Your nephew and daughter-in-law should not be modest." Now the face of the Gong family can be supported by you and your uncle. ”
Gong Zhongsu glared at Second Mrs. Gong, looked back at Ming Fei and said with a smile: "You do things properly, you will never make mistakes, I don't worry." In this way, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, when the Guo family comes, you will come with Yuanhe, and listen from the beginning, it will not be easy to make mistakes. ”
Second Mrs. Gong chirped again: "I don't know how much silver I can return?" How much dowry are the Guo family willing to give and how much dowry do they want? Now that our family is poor, I don't know if we can get this dowry? But the uncle and the big * milk are very capable and will definitely be able to help us think of a way. After speaking, he glanced at Ming Fei to see what she said.
Before the money arrived, I thought about how to spend it, and I wanted them to help me make up the dowry? What kind of truth is this? Second Mrs. Gong's words reminded Ming Fei that instead of being remembered at any time, it was better to cut off their thoughts once, so she smiled and said: "The lifelong affairs of several younger brothers and sisters have not been resolved, and Yuanhe and I have always been concerned about them. We had already discussed this matter, and we wanted to add something to our younger siblings to show our gratitude......"
At this point, she deliberately stopped and looked at the crowd. Gong Zhongsu lowered his eyes and drank tea, he couldn't see his expression, but the fingers holding the cup were white, Aunt Zhu pinched the handkerchief in her hand, Gong Yanbi looked at her hopefully, Gong Jingqi looked down at the tip of her shoe, Gong Yuanzhi bit her lip, Gong Yuanke looked at the brazier blankly, Gong Yuanji was yawning, and Aunt Li looked at her sympathetically.
Sure enough, Ming Fei sneered secretly, and said: "It's a pity that the furniture, acres of houses, etc., have their own fathers and aunts to prepare for them, and we are only afraid of discord." So Yuanhe said, a few younger brothers and sisters, regardless of the size of the concubine, each of them five hundred taels of silver, talking about the heart. ”
Seeing the obvious disappointment of Aunt Zhu and the others, she didn't even bother to say any excuses such as big expenses and no money, she only looked at Gong Zhongsu with a smile: "The second sister's share, I will send it over tomorrow, and it is convenient to add something she likes." What do you think, father-in-law? ”
Gong Zhongsu's eyelids twitched, swallowed a sip of tea hard, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Don't worry." "Five hundred taels of silver, not too much, no one dares to say that they give less, but compared with their family in the past, compared with what he expected, it is indeed a little less.
Ming Fei said: "It's okay, then I'll wait until the day of the second sister's day to send it over." "Isn't that too little? I think that when she got married, except for the Zhang, Chen, and Cai Guangting supplements, Cai Guodong only gave her 3,000 taels of silver. Five hundred taels of silver, enough to buy a big courtyard in Shuicheng Mansion, it is really not enough to swallow elephants.
On that day, there was no time to prepare many things, and Aunt Zhu's face suddenly turned white. frequently glanced at Gong Zhongsu, but Gong Zhongsu's words had already been spoken, and he was ruthlessly put on a show by his daughter-in-law, he already felt extremely faceless, ashamed and annoyed, and couldn't say that he was bitter, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to her? I don't see it in the moment.
Aunt Zhu didn't give up and moved a few steps towards him, and quietly pulled his sleeve, her face full of coquettishness and pity. Gong Zhongsu glared at her angrily, which frightened Aunt Zhu, choked on a mouthful of saliva, and coughed earth-shatteringly.
Second Mrs. Gong didn't take the five hundred taels of silver in her heart, but when she thought that if there was no Gong Yanbi and Gong Yuanke, this silver would have belonged to Gong Jingqi and them, and thought that Gong Yanbi, a little slut, was destined to have such a good relationship, the more she looked at the mother and son, the more she hated it, and she just wanted to divide it by two, so she said sharply: "I don't know how to avoid it in the room, is this to give the whole family a sick life?" Don't hurry up and get out of here! ”
Aunt Zhu saw that Gong Zhongsu had no intention of speaking for herself, so she wrapped two bubbles of tears, bowed with tears, and retreated. Gong Yanbi couldn't sit still, and was about to get up and follow, Second Lady Gong said arrogantly: "Yanbi, you come over and help me pinch my shoulder, this is a big change, it hurts a lot." ”
Gong Yanbi didn't dare to say much, and walked behind Mrs. Gong aggrievedly to pick it up for her, but just a few pinchs, Mrs. Gong screamed like a pig: "I just said your aunt, you will be so ruthless, hey, it hurts me to death, I can't do it." Without waiting for Gong Zhongsu to speak, the ghost cried wolf and howled and called Gong Jingqi to come over to help her, tilting her chin and returning to Anxian Hall. He left the rest of the rest in the house.
Gong Yanbi stood dumbfounded for a while, two soybean-sized tears fell down, shook the handkerchief, and sobbed and left.
Gong Zhongsu's face suddenly became colorful and very good-looking. Ming Fei was secretly amused, and had to take on the responsibility of making peace with the mud, and looked at Gong Yuanzhi with a smile: "Second uncle, I have already sent the letter to Beijing, and I will receive a reply in a few days, so you can wait for the New Year to study in Beijing." ”
Gong Zhongsu's attention was immediately attracted and asked about Gong Yuanzhi and Gong Yuanji's studies. Gong Yuanke is a useless hero, so he can only continue to pretend to be stunned, but he is extremely resentful in his heart. Aunt Li took the opportunity to invite Ming Fei to go to the kitchen to see how dinner was prepared, leaving the Gong family father and son alone in Canghan Hall.
Gong Yuanhe came in with a cold wind, and what he saw was such a strange situation, saying that it was eating, but there were only a few men with different expressions sitting in the hall, and none of the women were there. Gong Zhongsu trained his sons with a straight face, and he was very happy, and his sons were either unconvinced, or stupid, or frightened, and they were very good-looking.
Gong Yuanhe simply hugged hands and stood under the porch to watch the excitement. Hearing Gong Zhongsu's voice getting smaller and smaller, the follow-up was weak, and he was about to finish, and was about to enter the house, when he saw Jin Hai coming over with a smile and motioning for him to come with her.
Ming Fei was sitting alone in the side room, and when she saw him come in, she specially gave Aunt Li ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
