Since she was sick, Zhou Yunxia stayed in the house all day long embroidering wedding dresses, of course, the wedding dresses were embroidered by the mother, she made some handkerchiefs and purses and the like, Aunt Jing would go over with her every day, since the events of that night, Zhou Yunxue let the pomegranate stop the medicine, and now I heard Fengyuan just happened to meet, the complexion was white and red, and people also looked at it and moisturized a lot, and when they passed by, they could smell a fragrance, not fat powder, but like the fragrance of flowers emanating from the skin and flesh, presumably Aunt Jing spent a lot of effort on her.

On weekdays, the two of them met and didn't greet each other, but they didn't want Zhou Yunxia to stop her today, the hawthorn was in front of her, Zhou Yunxue raised her eyebrows, looked at her like a winning hen, and said, "Eldest sister, do you have something to find your sister?" ”

Zhou Yunxia raised her chin proudly and said, "Third sister, the Wu family is going to be hired tomorrow, and my sister will marry in five days, in the end, I want to hear your blessing." ”

Zhou Yunxue said with a smile: "Then my sister is here, I wish my sister and Wu Gongzi a hundred years of good marriage, many children and grandchildren, is my sister still satisfied?" ”

Zhou Yunxia covered her handkerchief and said with a smile: "Sister, thank you for your sister Jiyan here." ”

"Sister, don't be polite, everyone is sisters, it's okay to say a few words." I don't know if you lived to live that day.

"Is there anything else going on with my sister? If you don't have a sister, you have to go back first, so my sister should go and say goodbye, don't make my grandmother wait too long. ”

After speaking, he ignored her and walked forward, Zhou Yunxia looked at her distant back, gritted her teeth and said, "Slut." ”

After relieving her face, Zhou Yunxia went into the house to greet the old lady, Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu had not left, the old lady motioned for him to sit down, and then said to Mama Feng, "Take out the box." ”

Mama Feng lifted the curtain and went in, took out a wooden box, the old lady took it, and said, "Sister Xia, come here." ”

Zhou Yunxia walked over, and the old lady handed her the box, and said, "This is my grandmother's private treasury, your dowry is taken out from the CCP, this is a little bit of my grandmother's own heart, and when I marry in the future, I must teach my husband and children well, be filial to my in-laws, and don't play petty and provoke my in-laws." ”

Zhou Yunxia happily took the box and opened it, there were some valuable jewelry, and two ingots of gold were placed on the top, her aunt was a concubine, and the general's mansion did not recognize her mother's daughter, so the subsidy for her private money was very small, and the old lady's private treasury had a lot of good things.

Holding the box and bending her legs, she saluted the old lady, and said, "Granddaughter, thank you grandmother for your love, and she will definitely listen to her grandmother and honor her in-laws." ”

"Well, go ahead." Wait for Zhou Yunxia to give the box to Cuiliu behind her, and sit back in place

The old lady looked at Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu and said, "You will also have it in the future, Sister Shuang'er is also in time, grandmother will definitely find you a Ruyu Langjun, if you have something you like, you can also tell grandmother, grandmother will go to explore the wind for you." ”

Zhou Yunshuang blushed with a pretty face, got up and gave a salute, and said, "Granddaughter, thank you, grandmother." ”

Her mother has recently matched her and her cousin, although her cousin's family background is not high, she is still handsome, and every time she goes to her grandmother's house, she will talk to her gently, so she is also a little secretly happy, and after a while she will mention it to her grandmother.

When the old lady was tired, the three of them retired.

Zhou Yunxia happily returned to Xia Feiyuan, Aunt Jing was already sitting and waiting for her, happily took the box and put it on the table, and said to Aunt Jing, "Mother, grandmother gave me a box of jewelry today, and there are two ingots of gold in it,"

Seeing that her daughter was so happy that her eyebrows and eyes were like flowers, Aunt Jing touched her head, and said to Mo Xiang who was standing on the side, "Go and get the box I prepared." ”

"Yes." Mo Xiang led the two little girls back to Rouqing Garden, and brought a small box and put it in front of the two of them

"What is this?"

Zhou Yunxia glanced at Aunt Jing, opened it curiously, and there was a box of silver ingots inside, and she asked in surprise, "Where did I come from?" ”

Aunt Jing smiled and said, "This is given by your grandmother and your uncle." ”

"Isn't my grandmother already ignoring my mother?" She remembered that when she was a child, her mother told her that her grandfather was the mighty general, and her grandmother was the general's concubine He, probably when she was eight years old, once she took the maid out and happened to meet the mighty general's carriage, and asked who the person standing in front of the carriage was beside her, and the maid said that it was the mighty general, and she happily ran over to him who was about to get on the car and shouted, "Grandpa." ”

The man turned his head, but there was no expression on his face, he just opened his mouth and asked her, "Which girl are you?" ”

The maid was already kneeling at her feet and trembling, but she said excitedly because her grandfather had spoken to her, "Grandpa, Yong Ninghou is my father." ”

When the man heard her answer, he curled the corners of his lips tightly, and said sarcastically, "The old man doesn't have a daughter to marry into the Yongning Marquis Mansion." Then he got into the carriage and left.

She stood in place, eight years old knew the meaning of this sentence, she ran back to the house to ask her mother, her mother hugged her and cried, telling her to avoid the people who saw the general's mansion in the future, they didn't like her mother, although she didn't understand why, but since then she saw the mighty general's mansion people will avoid, and then she grew up more and more, and then understood the reason.

"That's for others to see, my mother is your grandmother's daughter, how can your uncle's sister really care, look at it, this is the makeup they gave you."

"But where did my grandmother get so much money?" Zhou Yunxia was puzzled

"Your uncle is a salt official." Aunt Jing said, since ancient times, salt has been a thing to obtain huge profits, and the salt official is the person in charge of official salt in various places, and he is a fat poor, and it is not a problem to wear gold and silver if he leaks a little.

"When you arrive at the Taishi Mansion, you have to keep these things by yourself."

"Got it, mother." Zhou Yunxia replied a little impatiently, reached out and took out the ingot silver, and touched it happily, she was afraid that she was richer than Zhou Yunxue's slut now.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Jing didn't say more, she knew that her daughter was not stupid.

The next day

When the Taishi Mansion sent a dowry gift, when he saw the ten dowry gifts placed in the hall, the face of Yong Ning Hou and the old lady on the main seat was slightly gloomy, listening to the Wu family housekeeper singing the gift list, although the number of rituals are in place, but for the Hou Mansion This kind of high-ranking family is too shabby, the gift list is not a cup of tea and then sung, looking at the old Taijun who has not accepted the gift list, the housekeeper of the Taishi Mansion is also a little embarrassed, but what can be done, the Taishi Mansion is now unable to make ends meet, these ten are already the limit, the old Taijun finally took the gift list, The housekeeper hurriedly retired.

With a "snap", the old lady slammed the gift slip on the table, and said angrily: "Taishifu, is this a concubine or a wife?" will be ten, the dowry of the daughter of my dignified Hou Mansion is not as good as the usual rich and noble family, what is the reason. If it weren't for Sister Xia'er's body being broken, she would have wanted to throw these unsightly things out of the house just now.

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Mama Feng on the side hurriedly stroked her back, and Yong Ninghou also poured a cup of tea and served it, saying, "It's my son's fault, it's my son's fault." ”

"Of course it's your fault, look at the good people you fancied, look at them, don't say anything about what they did, what do you mean today, if you didn't want to marry in the first place, it's better for the daughter of my Hou Mansion to be a sister-in-law than to be so humiliated today." Ten dowry, if this is her sister Xue, she will definitely go to the Taishi Mansion to ask, is it the same for them to marry a daughter.

Yong Ninghou was just silent again, she knew that it was best not to speak when she was old and ladylike, and she would talk about it when she eased up.

The old lady drank two cups of tea before he slowed down, picked up the gift list and threw it to the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and said, "Put these broken things in the warehouse." ”

The housekeeper trembled and picked up the gift slip and ordered the person to carry the dowry down, and Yong Ninghou said, "Mother, extinguish the fire, there is no way to do it if the matter is already like this." ”

"Hmph, I won't take care of the mother-daughter relationship in the future, there should be a new housewife in the Hou Mansion, I will show you two families, you can take a look at the birthday banquet of the prince and the princess, and I will mention it to you if you like."

Yong Ninghou said: "Let my mother do the work." ”

"Let that woman give me some peace, don't think I don't know what she did, and if I make trouble again, I won't look at your face and beat you to death."

"My son remembered."

The situation in the front yard was transmitted back to the courtyards by the maid who came out to investigate, Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu heard that there were not many ups and downs, what should they do, and on the side of Xia Feiyuan, Zhou Yunxia heard the maid's advice, and dropped three sets of tea sets, and it didn't stop until Aunt Jing came to persuade her.

Zhou Yunxue smiled when she heard it on the soft couch in Zhou Qingzhi's study, and only whispered softly, "Wu Guifei's private room is probably also taken out by the Wu family." ”

There are only ten, and there will be twelve if they are a little richer, and what they want is a straight word, and the dignified Taishifu is not afraid of being drowned by everyone's spit today.

"Isn't it?" Zhou Qingzhi, who was reading the letter at the desk again, took over and said, "Recently, the third prince and the fourth master of the mighty general's mansion, oh, that is, Aunt Jing's own brother, have been very close. ”

"Poof, then he still dares to bring this dowry?" Zhou Yunxue said with a smile

"This Zheng Xuyao is a salt official, rich, the third prince is afraid that he will lose the burden of the Taishi Mansion."

"The third prince has a good mind, the mighty general Zheng Hao has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and his four sons are also promising, the mighty general's mansion is a big tree."

After a pause, Zhou Yunxue said again: "Could the third princess be Zheng Xuchun's daughter-in-law?" "In the previous life, the third princess was Zheng Xuchun's daughter-in-law Zheng Meier, who was decided as early as a month ago, and in this life because of the queen mother's death, this marriage will be delayed, presumably two months later, the begging festival will be announced.

"As you expected, Wu Guifei has already summoned the general's wife."

"You can arrange some people to enter the Taishi Mansion and the Three Princes' Mansion." Because of the relationship between Yu Pei, Zhou Yunxue is not polite to Zhou Qingzhi at all.

"Yes." Zhou Qingzhi raised his head and said, and then said, "You seem to have a lot of hostility towards the Taishi Mansion and the Mighty General's Mansion. "If it is said that the hostility towards the Mighty General's Mansion because of Aunt Jing's relationship is barely in the past, but the Taishi Mansion... The marriage contract was also ruined by herself, and there should not be such a great hostility.

"You just let me see them as unpleasant." Zhou Yunxue didn't want to be honest with him.

Zhou Qingzhi frowned, but she still kept her mouth shut, she didn't want to say it, forget it, he could check it anyway.
