In these years, if a woman wants to be decent in her husband's family, her appearance and talent are secondary, and her family background and dowry are indispensable. Especially when the former lacks confidence, the latter must not be worse, otherwise it will not be able to straighten up and be a man after passing the door.

Let's look at Wang Qing's concubine, not to mention the future, it has now been determined, there are Miss Jiang Banchao's grandmother and granddaughter, Vice Prime Minister Tang's granddaughter and the queen mother's granddaughter, the daughter of the princess of Guangyang Palace, the most famous lady of the Tao family in this dynasty, and the niece of the servant of the criminal department......

With so many noble girls, Wang Qingxiao was thrown ten streets in terms of family background, if the dowry is not rich enough, where will she put her face in the future?

So Qiu Lulan prepared a generous gift to say goodbye, and after talking to Lian Jianhai and his wife, he was invited by Wang Lian to sit in his yard, and before he sat down, Wang Lian asked anxiously: "Lulan, do you think you can succeed if you don't want to be a princess?" ”

Seeing Qiu Yulan's stunned expression, Wang Lian smiled bitterly and said clearly, "The ancestor of the Wang family has also served several terms as a parent official, strictly speaking, he is just a squire, and his family background is limited, where can he afford the dowry of the imperial daughter-in-law?" It's the Lian family, which fell into decline after my grandfather's death, and there is not much left for so many years. According to the identity of King Wei, even if the Wang Lian family is smashed and sold for iron, it may not be able to make up enough decent makeup, and in this case, what will the children of the Wang family and the Lian family eat and drink? No one in the Wang family has ever harshly treated our mother and daughter, let alone the Lian family, let alone us - how can I take revenge and force the two families to death for the sake of a shallow person's future? ”

Qiu Yulan also felt that this family affair was really just a face for the Lian family and the Wang family, but in fact, it was a disaster. It's just that Wang Qingqian is not only the person who Miao Zhaoyi personally named to be a daughter-in-law, but the marriage decree has been made, where is it possible not to marry? She sighed: "That's it, I'll pay my cousin's dowry, nearly half of my dowry is my grandmother's dowry back then, and it was also given by the Lian family, and now it's just right-"

"How can this work?!" Wang Lianshi immediately shook his head, "It has always been the inheritance of women's marriage, and those are the things of your future children, how can you take them?" She doesn't even have a surname! And although you are in charge of your dowry, but you and the shallow cousin who is just turning a corner, if you prepare for her to marry, how can your husband's family have no opinion? What will other relatives think? ”

Although Qiu Yulan has not had much contact with this cousin in the past two years, she has not broken it, and she knows that she is a fierce person. Son, if you say don't want it, you definitely don't want it. It's just that it is basically impossible for the Lian and Wang families to get a decent dowry for Wang Qingqian - her eyes rolled: "Then I will go into the palace and tell Miao Zhaoyi, my cousin is Miao Zhaoyi's own daughter-in-law, how can Miao Zhaoyi ignore her?" In the end, it is also related to the face of King Wei, isn't it? ”

"This ......" Wang Lian hesitated, although Wang Qingqian was Miao Zhaoyi's own fancy, Miao Zhaoyi should also know that the Lian family's Wang family would never be able to get enough dowry, but she went directly to talk to one of her daughter's future mothers-in-law...... Even if Miao Zhaoyi helped her daughter get out of the cabinet, she couldn't raise her head in front of this mother-in-law in the future......

But Wang Lian immediately laughed: "Even if you can bring a large number of marries out of the cabinet without Miao Zhaoyi's help, can you despise Miao Zhaoyi because of this?" ”

I'm afraid that the current embarrassment of the Lian family and the Wang family is exactly what Miao Zhaoyi wants to see! Wang Qingqian, who relied on her to give makeup in private to pass the door, where did she get the confidence to be disrespectful to her and disrespectful to King Wei?

"That's hard work for you!" Wang Lian, who figured out this section, sighed for a long time, and entrusted Qiu Yulan with complicated feelings.

She didn't know that Qiu Lulan was just looking for an excuse - after leaving the Lian family, she went straight to Ruan's mansion to ask Ruan Ciyi for advice: which of her dowries is suitable for Wang Qingqian, and can also be used under the banner prepared by Miao Zhaoyi?

As a result, after Ruan Ciyi came out, she swallowed her original words and asked in surprise: "Cousin, you are not well?" ”

"A little." Of course, Ruan Ciyi knew that Qiu Jinglan had already left, and she was forced to leave, and she had to prepare for marriage by herself and worry about this younger brother, and she couldn't get any better. However, before Qiu Jinglan left, she told her that she could hide from Qiu Jinglan for a while, of course she would not tell the truth, "I didn't pay attention two days ago, I didn't close the window when I slept, I was blown by the cold wind for half a night, and I had a headache for the past two days!" ”

Qiu Yulan was busy scolding her for being careless, and asked why the people who accompanied the night didn't find out?

"They thought I was going to drive it!" Ruan Ciyi didn't want to talk about her own side, so as not to be discovered by Qiu Yulan, so she asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't I say that? Leaving the cabinet is different from when you are at home, you always run out, and your husband and family don't like it! ”

"The shallow cousin has entered Miao Zhaoyi's eyes, and now she is the princess of Quasi-Wei, but you also know the eldest cousin, the foundation of the Lian family's Wang family, where can she afford the princess's makeup now?" Qiu Yulan didn't think much about it, and talked about her intentions, "Aunt Lian is so anxious, I went to congratulate me just now, and she actually pulled me and asked me if I could let Qingqian not get married!" ”

Ruan Ciyi frowned, her relationship with the Lian family is very far away, so for Wang Qingqian's selection as Princess Wei, just listen to it, but for the sake of Qiu Lulan's brothers and sisters, let her subordinates send a congratulatory gift. Now that Qiu Yulan came over to say, she asked, "Do you want to give this dowry for the sister of the Wang family yourself?" ”

Seeing Qiu Lulan nodded, Ruan Ciyi narrowed her eyes and thought for a while before saying: "With the identity of King Wei, his concubine does not have a million taels to marry, and it is difficult to be decent. Your marriage is less than three million, and you gave a small half of the Wang family's sister, what do you think of your husband's family? Even if your children in the future know about it, how can they not complain in their hearts? There is another one, let me tell you the truth, although the sister of the Wang family is your cousin, she has actually turned two corners, and she is not very close. What are you going to do when your nieces and nieces come out of the cabinet in the future? ”

When Qiu Yulan heard her words, she remembered that Ruan Ciyi was about to remarry, and she said in front of her that she wanted to give Wang Qingqian half of her net worth, but she didn't say anything to this cousin, she felt very embarrassed, and was about to speak, Ruan Ciyi said again, "Don't think that I am jealous of the sister of the Wang family, the love between the three of us is not comparable to her." And I also know that the reason why you did this is because you think that your dowry is too much, and you can't use it, and it's nothing to take out some of it to help the Wang family's sister. It's just that you're still too naïve, you think millions of dollars are nothing, and you think others will think the same way? You must not do this because you don't suffer from inequality! Otherwise, the person who offends is not what you can imagine! ”

"But this is a ...... out of the pavilion" Qiu Yulan was said by her, and when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt tricky, so she asked, "You can't really go to Miao Zhaoyi, right?" She couldn't look up when she passed the door. ”

Ruan Ciyi sneered and said: "I said something unpleasant, the father of the younger sister of the Wang family is barely a person, not even a jinshi, she is a marriage Jinshan Yinshan, do you think you can get face in front of Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines, and even the two mothers-in-law, the queen?!" ”

Qiu Yulan was embarrassed and silent.

"Let your brother come out of Princess Zhun Wei's dowry, you also know that he really doesn't lack this money in his hands. Just think of it as the reward for the Lian family to help you speak before...... Don't fight with me, it's not me! And you should also know that even I don't approve of it, if you rush to get this money, your brother will definitely not be finished with you! Isn't there enough for him to worry about right now? If you really feel sorry for him, listen to him! Ruan Ciyi snorted, "Oh, he went to Gyeonggi two days ago to see things, and he will come back in two days, anyway, King Wei is ranked below King Lu, King Cai and Princess Changping, and his big wedding will definitely get next year, and there will be no problem to delay it for a few days." ”

When Qiu Yulan came over, he heard that Qiu Jinglan was not there, and he thought that he was called out by Ling Zui, so he was surprised and asked, "What are you going to see?" ”

"When you left the cabinet, he simply searched all over the north and south of the river to find you the Liancheng baby at the bottom of the box, and now I want to remarry, and he is not allowed to go to Gyeonggi to buy me two good things?" Ruan Ciyi glared, and Qiu Yulan hurriedly laughed: "How can it?" I don't know......"

Ruan Ciyi pretended to be pretended for a long time, wiping a handful of sweat in her heart, thinking that she could be regarded as fooling this cousin, but she acted well here, but she couldn't prevent other people's bad things - speaking of which Xin Fubing was also wronged, her original intention was actually to help kindly - she was taken by Empress Jiang for two months during the summer vacation, and she became more and more like a quasi-crown princess.

It's just that not long ago, Empress Jiang pointed to Princess Shang Yongfu in Oubi City, which inevitably made people worry that she would be stimulated again. Qiu Lulan, who was already a wife, couldn't spare time, but Zhuang Man and Ou Qinglan made a special trip to comfort her. Fortunately, Xin Fubing knew that Ou Bicheng had always only regarded herself as a sister, and the queen's move was not considered to have robbed her sweetheart of her daughter, so she thought about it very much.

Not only can she think about it, but she also has the heart to care about Zhuang Man and Ou Qinglan's lifelong events, Zhuang Man said that after missing the position of princess, the family has not found a suitable candidate for the time being, and she can still rely on her mother's family for a while; Ou Qinglan was sullen - Xin Fubing asked Zhuang Man, it turned out that it was easy to wait for her sweetheart to be filial, and then she left Beijing after filial piety!

"He doesn't know when he'll be back, I'm willing to wait for him, but will he wait for me? The others are not blind or stupid, a talent like him, who has a daughter and granddaughter, will not rush to give it to him? Ou Qinglan wiped her tears and poured out her thoughts, "I really want to go to Shazhou with him!" ”

"The runner is a concubine, don't be confused!" Hearing this, Xin Fubing and Zhuang Man hurriedly persuaded, "You are petty. It's nothing to have a small temper, such a taboo is never to be violated! ”

"But you say, if he is gone now, do I have any hope?" Ou Qinglan said sadly, "Speaking of which, I don't know what he thinks of me - but I've met such a person in my life, can I just miss it?" ”

Xin Fubing and Zhuang Man saw her like this, discussed it, and decided to help her, since Qiu Jinglan had already left, they were not familiar with Ruan Ciyi, so they must have gone to find Qiu Yulan.

So Qiu Yulan, who was unprepared, was said by Xin Fubing, who came to visit: "Ah Xing's heart for your Ruan cousin, you also know, since he was still in filial piety, Ah Xing has made up his mind to wait for him - now that he has gone to Shazhou, he has not left anything, Ah Xing and she ......"

The original smile on Qiu Yulan's face froze for a moment, and he was so shocked that he almost stood up: "Shazhou? Won't you just leave next spring? Why are you leaving now?! ”

Xin Fubing was stunned when she heard this-she was the one who was selected by the queen to be the crown princess, and she was personally taught by the queen, how could she not react when she saw Qiu Yulan's appearance, and she was in trouble? Hurriedly re-said: "Sure enough, you didn't go?" I'll just say it! He must have lied to hide from A-Xing! ”

It's just that Qiu Yulan is not a child, whatever she says and how she believes it. After a perfunctory word, Qiu Lulan casually changed into the dress she wore to go out, and ordered her to go to Ruan's Mansion to ask what was going on!

Just went out, just when Jiang Yashuang returned from a business trip, I thought that my wife would come out to pick her up in person, but I saw that her face was not right when I greeted her with a smile, and hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop: "What's wrong?" ”

"You didn't say anything to me when my brother left?!" Seeing this, Qiu Yulan changed her mind and deliberately deceited, "November is the day when my eldest cousin leaves the cabinet, and now that my brother is gone, there is no one to handle her, whose idea is this?!" ”

"This is also afraid that you are worried...... Jiang Yashuang was really fooled, and hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, Sister Ruan, my grandfather personally told my grandmother, let our third aunt go over to help when the time comes, and make sure that Sister Ruan goes out in style!" ”

Then he was angrily grabbed by Qiu Yulan's ears, gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough?!" It's been a long time, haven't you? The last time I went to see my eldest cousin, she lost a lot of weight, and it must be because of this! I'm still afraid that I'm worried, can you hide it from me for the rest of my life? Since you can't, sooner or later it's not the same to worry about! I knew I could give my brother a ride! ”

Jiang Yashuang had long been accustomed to her pungency, and before she could say a few soft words to persuade her, Su He and the others were about to vomit blood: This is in the courtyard! Didn't you see Caiqi and their eyeballs were about to fall?! This is going to be reported to Qin Guogong and his wife, do you want to have an impression?!

Fortunately, after scolding her husband by the ear, Qiu Yulan also came to her senses, quickly let go, and diligently stroked his sideburns and clothes, and coughed dryly: "It's cold, look at you, your ears are blown cold by the wind, I covered you for a while before it warmed up...... Ming'er has to add a jacket! ”

Jiang Yashuang couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Ming'er must wear more!" ”
