Chapter 187: Retirement
Gu Jinchao was waiting for her camellia in the inverted room, and chose the varieties that bloomed in spring and sent them to his father. She pointed to a pot of white and pink camellia again, and instructed Qingpu: "Go to my grandmother's place at noon to say goodbye and bring this pot of camellia flowers." ”
A few days ago, Feng officially invited the matchmaker to go to Xu's house in Tongzhou to ask for an appointment, and set the day of the welcome on May 28. These days, Feng often talked to her in the past, mostly after telling Xu Jingyi to get married. She also asked her father to discuss the dowry.
Xu's mother said to her privately: "Mrs. Tai said that the dowry for the continuation of the string should not be too much. After all, there is another family affair in the mansion soon, and the dowry for Miss Lian Si is also prepared, so a dowry of 20 taels can be prepared...... "Feng attaches great importance to Gu Lian's family affairs, for fear that if the two family affairs collide, his father will suppress them.
After all, Gu Dezhao and Xu Jingyi's marriage is still in line with the Feng family, and she is hoping that Gu Lian can make the Gu family raise their eyebrows.
Gu Jinchao said to Xu's mother: "The dowry is too small, I'm afraid it will make the Xu family feel that we are disrespectful, you go and tell your father, even if there are only twenty loads, then the things on each load must be exquisite, and you must not neglect others." If he doesn't have any money, he'll pay it from me. ”
Xu's mother went to talk to Gu Dezhao, and Gu Dezhao immediately came to find her.
He's blue and dark right now, and he shouldn't have slept well these days. “…… How did my father get money from you? He was resolute, "Your money was left to you by your mother, and it will be your dowry in the future." No matter how hard your father is, he can't touch your things. ”
Jin Chao asked him rhetorically: "Then what are you going to do, your income is in the hands of your grandmother now, right?" At most, there are more than 1,000 taels of silver on hand, and it is not enough to buy two good jade Buddhas, and you have to use gold Ruyi to press the box. Are you going to talk to your grandmother? ”
The eldest daughter was still very clear about his accounts, Gu Dezhao blushed, and said, "Your grandmother is also difficult, such a large family is pointing to your second uncle and the proceeds of our house to eat." Why don't I sell a small grange in Liangxiang to make money, and the grange doesn't make a good profit......"
Jin Chao smiled: "The second uncle's Yulu? The second uncle has 24 stones in January, and Lu money is 100 yuan, and it is barely enough to support the second room. Seeing that Sister Pian was about to get married, the money that my grandmother had in hand was used to buy a dowry for Sister Pian. She thought of the last time she overheard Feng and her second uncle talking.
“…… The second uncle said that after our branch came in, the expenses were much more. But the income you have on hand alone is more than 2,000 taels of silver per month, and all this money is from your grandmother, and the people in our four rooms, Sister Xi and Sister Yi, which is not very frugal. How much can it cost? At the moment, just those silver money for the dowry, can't get it? Jin Chao smiled.
Gu Dezhao was silent when he heard Jin Chao say this. He has always defended the Feng family in front of the Jin Dynasty, and he doesn't want the relationship between the Jin Dynasty and the Feng family to be bad. But the Feng family is sometimes really biased, and the best thing is always the second room, because there is a Gu Deyuan with a higher official position, and Gu Lian who can marry into the old family of the pavilion as a daughter-in-law, and even Feng's expectations for Gu Jinxiao are the greatest.
Gu Dezhao asked Jin Chao: "Your second uncle said something like that?" ”
Jin Chao only said: "I don't want to care about you, but I can't let the Xu family lose face, you have thought of a way to solve this matter." However, the things of the land property and the property deed are in your hands, and they cannot be easily moved. "Father has these things in hand to have the confidence to speak.
Gu Dezhao went to talk to Feng.
Feng Shi was very angry that day and was very excited: "How can I be partial to your second brother." Think about it, Sister Pity married to the Yao family, and the Yao family will treat us well in the future, but it is our Gu family who will benefit, you can't be short-sighted! ”
Gu Dezhao said: "I understand what you said, and I have said half a sentence when the proceeds are handed over to you." If you think the money is not enough, it is better for me to sell the things that I want to leave to Sister Chao, and make a dowry for Sister Pian first! ”
Feng was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak. sold the things to Sister Chao'er, and added boxes to Sister Pian'er.
How do you hear this when it gets out!
Feng Shi said coldly: "Miss Xu has not married in yet, and you are already looking for her in your heart, for fear that I will wronged her at the dowry, do you still have my mother in your eyes?" Thinking of Gu Dezhao and Xu Jingyi, Feng was so angry that his liver hurt!
These two people decided on their family affairs behind her back, and she could only send Cheng Baozhi back to Jiangxi, otherwise how could these dowries fall into the hands of outsiders.
Later, Xu Jingyi married in, and I don't know if I can accept her discipline!
Gu Dezhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I naturally have you in my heart, but I'm afraid that you don't have me in your heart." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the East Cross Courtyard.
Feng was angry for a long time, and then called the second lady over again to discuss, and changed the 20 taels of dowry to the Xu family to 30 loads.
After the matter was decided, she didn't talk to Gu Dezhao for a long time, and it wasn't until the dowry gift was sent that Feng's heart gradually improved. Not long ago, Mrs. Yao also came here for Gu Lian's family affairs, although the family affairs were delayed, but she was more respectful and gentle, Feng felt a lot more comfortable after seeing Mrs. Yao, and she didn't pay much attention to these little things in the fourth room.
I don't know what the scene was after Xu Jingyi entered the door......
Jin Chao sighed and placed the scissors on the black lacquer large square plate.
After lunch, she took the camellia to Feng's place.
Jin Chao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly went to the east across the courtyard.
The atmosphere in the banquet was not good, Feng Shi clenched the teacup in his hand, and almost accidentally fell just now.
She put the teacup heavily on the table, and her voice was cold: "Mrs. Yao, this matter is not casually said!" ”
Mrs. Yao was wearing a silver-red carved silk gown, wearing a pair of gourd golden hairpins, white and plump, and slightly high cheekbones. Mrs. Yao doesn't look down on the Gu family very much, and she has always been domineering. Now he wanted to smile at Feng and say softly: "Old lady, don't be angry! We are to blame for this retreat, because we didn't think it through. Who knew that Wenxiu's kid had fallen in love with another girl......"
Feng Shi only felt that his forehead twitched, and he felt nauseous for a while.
She was full of anger, but she couldn't express it at all in front of Mrs. Yao. What is Mrs. Yao's identity, and what makes her angry?
But this kind of family affair was done, and Feng almost wanted to jump up and point at Mrs. Yao and scold.
What is this called?
Looking at Gu Lian is also what Yao Wenxiu said, and it is also what he said if he can't look down, is there such a thing!
His Yao family is still a scholarly family, and the family affairs set are shirked on the grounds that the child likes others? I'm not afraid that others will laugh out of my big teeth when I say it!
What is it that she prepared so much dowry for Sister Pian, Sister Pian was dismissed for nothing, how can this matter be justified!
Feng Shi could only grit his teeth and say, "Mrs. Yao, please make your words clear." Originally, it was said that the family affair was delayed, and our family also recognized it, but now you come directly to withdraw from the family, it's too much to say! If this news spreads, it will have an impact on the reputation of both of us. ”
Cooked ducks can fly, and Feng will vomit to death.
Mrs. Yao had expected that Feng would be unwilling, and if she didn't make things clear here, I was afraid that Feng would not give up.
Mrs. Yao said: "This matter is too big, old lady, you should hold back for now, and then we will talk about this matter in detail." ”
Feng closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment before waving his hand to let the people at the banquet retreat.
Mrs. Yao sat down beside her, covered her lips with her hands, and whispered to Feng: "...... It's too much at stake! Our master only told me a word. Does the old lady know about Wanping Chen's family, Chen Sanye? ”
Feng nodded, who can not know the name of Chen Sanye Chen Yanyun!
Mrs. Yao then said softly: "Your poor sister, but she is a blessed one, and she was actually looked down upon by Lord Chen......
Feng Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at Mrs. Yao in disbelief, and Mrs. Yao added: "Don't be surprised, old lady, this matter is true. ”
Feng was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. It's ridiculous, Lord Chen...... How to look at Gu Pian!
That's the Tobe Shoshu, a dignified scholar of Tokaku University!
Feng's hands trembled a little.
If Gu Lian can marry Chen Sanye, even if it is just a continuation of the string, it will be a blessing for their ancestors to smoke from the green smoke.
Could it be that Mrs. Yao lied, just to shirk and pity her sister's family?
Feng Shi looked at Mrs. Yao's appearance and felt that this idea was impossible. Madame Yao has never treated her with such respect!
The more Feng thought about it, the more he felt that there were traces to follow. Chen Sanye obviously didn't know them, but the last time he went to Baoxiang Temple, he picked up their food boxes...... He also used Gu Dezhao to come to Gu's house for dinner in person. If you don't have a mind, why bother with these things!
It took a long time for Feng Shi to react, and immediately ordered his mother-in-law to find the second and fifth ladies. She was very excited in her heart, this matter must be done as soon as possible, if Sister Pity can marry Chen Sanye, then what kind of thing is Yao Wenxiu!
……
When Gu Jinchao arrived at the East Cross Courtyard, he saw that the second and fifth ladies had come over, but Mrs. Yao was invited to the flower hall for tea.
The little girl brought her a pestle and came over: "Second Miss, sit down for a while, Mrs. Tai will finish talking in a while." ”
Gu Jinchao sat under the corridor and saw the closed Xijijian fan, but he was very puzzled in his heart.
Tong's mother said that Mrs. Yao came to quit her family. The Yao family wants to withdraw from the family, which is undoubtedly a big blow to the Feng family, who has been looking forward to the relationship between the two families, but the reaction of the Feng family to call the two daughters-in-law to talk in secret is really not like anger.
Gu Jinchao glanced at the Yao family's maiden woman standing outside, changed her arrogant attitude of raising her head and chest, and looked very low.
