"Beibei wants to marry Zhao Mingtao? What is the attitude of Dad and Mom? Xia Ruixi put down the half-made small clothes in his hand and looked at Ou Qingjin in surprise.

Ou Qingjin smiled bitterly: "Yes." You don't know her temper yet? It doesn't matter what the attitude of the other person is. ”

Thinking about it, in the past, for Sun Yi's matter, Xia Ruibei almost went crazy, and everyone was unlucky. If she hadn't offered to marry, no one would have dared to mention it, and no one would have dared to force her.

"Zhao Mingtao's request for going to the Xuan family is to let Beibei bring a dowry of five million taels of silver to the past, he guarantees that the three media and six are hired, and the Ming media is marrying, and Beibei will have an official rank title as soon as she enters the mansion, and once he inherits the title in the future, he will be a side concubine, and at the same time he also promises to protect the Xia family without disasters."

Xia Ruixi said hatefully: "Five million taels, where does our family have so much money?" Even if he gives him money, why does he still hold on to Beibei? ”

Ou Qing analyzed it to her: "This is an attitude, he doesn't want to expand the affairs of the Sun family, he wants money, and he is willing to marry the daughter of the Xia family, which shows that he is not entirely planning for the eldest son of the emperor, but more for himself." He wants to make a profit, but also wants to hug both thighs, so that no matter how the situation in the court changes in the future, he can be invincible. The way of cutting through the mess with a quick knife will make him get a lot less benefits, not to mention anything else, he will lose at least half of the money alone. ”

Zhao Mingtao stayed in the capital for this time, and he didn't learn anything else, but he learned to be more skinny and black-hearted, and he was more able to plan for himself. If the eldest son of the emperor asked him why he wanted to marry the daughter of the Xia family, he could say, I am raising money for you to stabilize them. If the eldest son of the emperor is not powerful in the future, he can say to the faction of the concubine Niangniang, if it wasn't for my subordinates showing mercy at the beginning, stabilizing the eldest son of the emperor, marrying the daughter of the Xia family, and not letting others make a fuss about this matter, where would you be so easy?

Therefore, in a sense, marrying Xia Ruibei, in the form of a dowry, is a way for Zhao Mingtao to get the Xia family's money easily and openly, and it is also a way to ensure his intermediate status. And it can also snow the shame of his rejection when he came to the door to marry the daughter of the Xia family, anyway, he will have many concubines, one more Xia Ruibei is not much, and one less Xia Ruibei is a lot, as long as it is the daughter of the Xia family.

In fact, the current situation is different from the original, Master Xia no longer has the heart to seek preservation, if Xia Ruibei wants to leave, he must do his best to make it happen. But Xia Ruibei is still that character, what she wants to do, she has to do it with all her heart, no one can stop her, even cut it first and then play. I don't know what she said about moving Xuan Wu, Xuan Wu was very enthusiastic to help her ask Uncle Xuan to talk to Zhao Mingtao about the conditions.

There is not so much silver, so he can only take out one million taels, but he can bring a quarter of the equity of the Xia family's shop over, but the shop must be managed by her, he can ask her for money, but he can't meddle in the affairs of the shop. In the future, only her son will be able to inherit this property, and no one else will have the slightest power, not even a concubine. She didn't go to live in the palace, and asked Zhao Mingtao to build another mansion for her to live alone, and she would be in charge of the house.

Zhao Mingtao definitely didn't agree, Xia Ruibei, this girl was bold, she even asked him to meet, made her own decisions, and took the account books of the family to him to read, showing that the Xia family really didn't have so much money, but was willing to show the greatest sincerity, such as the equity of the shop.

The money is dead, the shop is alive, it is well run, and it is not too much to make money every day, and her Miss Xia San can't do anything else, but her business talent is taught by Master Xia, whether it is true or not, Zhao Mingtao can't stand such a temptation.

He can't have so much wealth on the surface, so he can only let the shop continue to hang the signboard of the Xia family, and the Xia family is willing to cooperate, so it is naturally the best. At the helm is his wife, he is naturally more at ease than anything else, women, when they can use it, they will naturally use it, if they refuse to obey, they will be pinched to death gently.

Xia Ruibei's flattery and compromise made Zhao Mingtao very comfortable, in short, Zhao Mingtao agreed to most of her requests, and seemed to appreciate her very much.

Although Xia Ruibei's goal was achieved, Zhao Mingtao promised that she would be responsible for managing the money and the shop, and he could pay the money, and no one else should touch half of it, including the future wife and sister-in-law, and asked Uncle Xuan to make a witness and write a deed.

But there is no doubt that the price paid by the Xia family is heavy, because in the end, although the silver agreed to bring over as a dowry became one million taels, the equity of the shop became three-quarters.

When the news reached the ears of Mr. and Mrs. Xia, the matchmaker was already waiting outside the door.

Master Xia was very angry, angry and sad at the same time. The money is nothing, anyway, he has already transferred and dispersed a lot, but the rest of the shop's equity is a quarter, and in fact, it has all become Zhao Mingtao's. God knows, it was half of his life's work, he would rather burn them all or give them away than give them to Zhao Mingtao, but his daughter didn't have the same heart with him, and sold the bottom without telling him. He locked himself in the house and didn't come out, refusing to see Xia Ruibei or the matchmaker.

Xia Ruibei was still guarding the door before, persuading him that it was better to die than to live, money is not important, the days are very long, and no one can say in the future. Later, when he saw that he was really stubborn, he no longer persuaded him, but just asked Mrs. Xia to take care of him and prepare the dowry herself.

Mrs. Xia's meaning was to let Xia Ruixi persuade Xia Ruibei, but Xia Ruibei's meaning was to hope that Xia Ruixi could go back and persuade Master Xia.

Xia Ruixi remembered the words that Xia Ruibei said to her, power is everything, and she already knew the ending. Persuasion is also vain persuasion, Xia Ruibei must still get married, but she still has to go on this trip.

Xia Ruibei asked the maid to hang the fuchsia wedding dress embroidered with twisted gold peonies high in front of the hall, and sat on a stool by herself and squinted her eyes carefully.

Seeing Xia Ruixi enter, he beckoned to her: "Come and see, how is this purple red than that red?" ”

Xia Ruixi was speechless, it's not that the main room can't wear red, everyone else will choose colors inferior to red, such as water red and rose red, but she wants to be ingenious to make the whole color stronger than red, and I don't know if the people in Shouwangfu will agree.

Xia Ruibei tugged at the dress as hard as she vented, gritted her teeth and said, "Why can our Xia family's daughter only be his Zhao Mingtao's side room?" He was nothing more than a jackal with a little more ornate fur and pretense. You see, one day, I will let him know how good I am! ”

Xia Ruixi pressed her shoulder: "Beibei, it's too late for you to regret it now." You know he's not a good person. You don't have to gamble your life. ”

Xia Ruibei turned her head, her eyes shining: "I am not married to a good person, but a business partner." You don't have to persuade me, if you have the time and energy, it's better to enlighten your father and mother. Let them not hate me, and don't think I'm greedy for taking so much money away. Even if I have selfish intentions, it is for myself to speak hard and convenient in the future, but I can also bring some benefits to the family, as long as the shop is still there, the people are still there, whether it is the real surname Xia or the fake surname Xia, as long as the word Xia is still hanging on it, there will be a day to turn over. ”
