"What then?" Mi Tao calmed down a little, her eyes were a little red, and she looked at Cherry and Cotton Peach helplessly: "The third and fourth children, there are many ideas for the two of you at home, what can I do now?" ”

"What to do? The old lady has spoken, and she will never take it back. Mian Tao turned into the house with a calm face: "Even if you take it back, if you enter the Peng family with a cold dowry, I'm afraid they will have to make them look down on you." These two thousand taels must be raised, so let's hurry up and sum them up first, and see how much money we have in our hands!! ”

"Yes." Cherry also responded and pulled Mi Tao into the house.

Walnut blinked and looked back and forth, ran to close the courtyard door, and then followed the sisters into the house.

All the current cash in the family is added up, and the total is only more than a hundred taels of silver. If you add the fields and shops all into it, the total will only be enough to reach 1,000 taels. If you count the hundreds of taels of silver that the cherries brought back, and count the large and small messes, there are 1,500 taels of silver. Another five hundred taels, where to find them?

"Let's ask the eldest sister if she has it, right?" Walnut Crisp proposed: "Uncle's family also go and ask, you can always make up a little." ”

"Forget it!! Our eldest sister has a big belly, and the eldest brother-in-law's business has just started, and his family has just bought a house, so how can we have spare money to support us? Besides, how could it be for me to sell all the wine shops and fields that we had worked hard for several years? What will you do then? No, no, no, no! Mi Tao shook her head resolutely.

"But if we can't come up with this money, the matter between you and Brother Peng ......" Cherry wrinkled her eyebrows.

Mi Tao gritted her teeth hatefully, with a look of indignation: "It's a big deal!" Who's afraid of whom? He Peng Yu'an dared to ask me for a bride price of 2,000 taels? Even if my Yue Mitao can't get married, and she stays at home for a lifetime, she can't spend as much as two thousand taels of silver!! Why should I go to their Peng family cheaply!! Something that is not ashamed can open this mouth!! ”

"You have to get excited. If you want to talk about it, she wants two thousand taels, which is not too much. The Peng family is such a young master, you have passed, and you will be the housewife in the future. The dowry is only two thousand taels, how can it be too much? I guess she expected that we wouldn't be able to take it out, so she wanted so little. But it's not absolutely impossible. There is no deadline for the left and right, so let's prepare slowly. Mian Tao opened her mouth slowly: "How can our wine house have fifty or sixty taels of silver in a month, if you save some, you can raise enough money in a year." As long as Brother Peng can hold on, we don't have to worry about this money. ”

"No! I'm not going to tell you to sell the winery! Doesn't that make me have no face to see our parents? I might as well die! Rice protested loudly, ignored by the cotton peach, and she discussed something else in a whisper with Cherry, head to head.

Mi Tao's matter, the Peng family has no news, and they have not sent anyone to urge it, so they will not mention it for the time being.

The eldest star fruit knew about this, and hurriedly wanted to sell the shop and land in her hand in order to marry this sad second child as soon as possible, but was vetoed by several younger sisters. Several sisters got together, discussed a few ways to raise money, and began to run around in a few days.

Three days later, Sun Qingzhu found the cherry and said that it was Yifang's business, and there was news.

He is now staying in the 'Yuanji Clothing Shop' in the south of the county seat of Shuize County, saying that he will stay for another five or six days, and then he will go down to various towns to inspect.

Going down to the towns? Isn't that a great chance? Cherry was secretly happy in her heart, and at the same time, that strange thought faintly popped up. This...... It can't be a trap for her, right? Sun Qingzhu found Yifang so easily, found the news so easily, and Yifang happened to go down to the town to inspect, this 'smooth' and 'coincidental' were too coincidental......

"When he comes to Yufeng Town, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten he will rest in the town's 'Yuanji Clothing Shop', we just need to place people in it in advance, and this matter will not be too difficult. It's also in the locality, and it is estimated that there will be no surveillance, so it is much safer. The matter of installing people is wrapped up in me, you don't need to worry too much......" Sun Qingzhu was still talking about it.

"yes." Cherry pulled out a wry smile, that is, knowing that this is a trap, what can be done? What's more, there is still hope here, Zhou Mingyuan is such a busy person, how can he have such a spare time to set up such a bureau just to set her up a small house? Hope...... I hope she thinks too much, and I hope that after this incident, she won't have anything to do with the Zhou family.

Anyway, it's time to take a chance.

But...... The strange thing is that Zhou Muze has not heard from him for several days. He said last time that he would come back and that he would be obedient for too long, but why didn't he show up when she was looking for him? Could it be that something happened......

"Sakura? Cherry? Sun Qingzhu called softly, shaking his hand in front of her.

"Oh!!" Cherry snapped back to her senses and grinned, "Hmm." It's all up to Brother Qingzhu. ”

"Look at your ......" Sun Qingzhu twisted his eyebrows slightly, and his expression showed concern: "I said that this matter is on me, you don't need to worry too much." When this matter is over, and after a while, the storm of portraits will be stopped, and there will be nothing to do. After all, we are a small place, and no one will pay too much attention to it, and we can still live our comfortable little life when the time comes. As he spoke, he stretched out his creamy jade hand and combed the broken hair on the cherry's forehead, moving gently.

"Ahh Mi Tao, who happened to enter the house, seemed to be burned, and suddenly jumped back and teased: "Look at me, I really won't pick the time!" You say, well, I'm going to see if the rabbit is fed. ”

"Second sister!" Cherry glared at her: "It's going to be a joke." We're getting down to business! ”

"Hehehe......" Sun Qingzhu chuckled, and a few suspicious blushes appeared on his face.

"Serious business to talk about, that other, can also be talked about!!" Mi Tao smiled, turned around and walked into the house, looked Sun Qingzhu up and down, and smiled a little meaningfully: "Mmmm, hehehe, what you want to talk about, what you want to talk about." ”

Sun Qingzhu's face was even redder, and his eyelashes drooped slightly.

"Second sister! You'll be funny! Brother Peng, don't you believe it there? You don't want to find a way to ask? ”

"Him?" Mi Tao chuckled: "Who is going to inquire about him?" The dignified young master of the Peng family, the only heir, the Peng family can't wait to hold him in the palm of their hands, where will they suffer him? Let's still remember that we are good, how can we afford the two thousand taels of silver!! Two thousand taels!! ”

"Hehe, Yu'an......" Sun Qingzhu couldn't help but speak for his friend: "He has been locked up tightly these days, and I won't be called in when I go." ”

"Hmph" Mi Tao snorted lightly and went out.

Sun Qingzhu stayed for a while before leaving, to arrange for the installation of people in the clothing store.

As soon as Sun Qingzhu left, Mi Tao took cotton peaches and walnuts to dig yams in the field to the west, while she chattered about Peng Yu'an, and cleaned up the haystack to feed the rabbits.

Cherry leaned against the door of the side room, listening to Mi Tao's chatter while distracted.

"Rice Peach Girl!" was complaining, and someone outside the hospital called softly.

"Huh?" Mi Tao turned her head to look, sighed lightly, and said happily: "Ye Huang!" ”

Ye Huang is Peng Yu'an's little follower, he can be regarded as a confidant, judging by his look and expression, he should be speaking for Peng Yu'an. really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the second sister was thinking about it. Cherry couldn't help but sigh that since she came back, things at home have not stopped. The matter of the fourth aunt, her matter, and the matter of the second sister and the third sister. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little worried, since Song Han left, there has been no news, Mo will not ...... After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, the third sister didn't care about this, what did she worry about......

"Rice Peach Girl! You can find it! Ye Huang walked in with a happy face, saluted respectfully to Mi Tao, and bowed to the cherry: "This ...... It's Cherry Girl, right? ”

"Yes. No need to be polite. Cherry smiled back.

"Ye Huang, what's the matter? What happened to Peng Yu'an these days? Mi Tao asked a little eagerly.

"Young master, he was locked up by the master and his wife, and he couldn't get out for a while, so he asked me to come and pick up a letter." Ye Huang half-bent his body: "That, a few days ago, the big butler came to you, our young master just found out, and he was angry at that time." He didn't know what the old lady said, or about the bride price she asked you for, and if he had, he wouldn't have done it. Now, as soon as he learned of this, he sent me to clarify the matter, so that you would not be misunderstood. ”

"He doesn't dare to let his grandmother come like this." Mi Tao nodded.

"The young master said, this matter, the old lady has already spoken, I'm afraid it is not so easy to take it back. But this money is not so easy to raise, just tell you not to rush for now, and wait for him to figure out a way. ”

Mi Tao Yixi: "He has a way?" ”

Ye Huang made a bitter face: "The young master is locked up tightly now, and the expenses of the silver taels are even more strictly controlled, how can there be any way?" It's just a matter of comforting you. Now if he wants to eat a candied fruit, he has to ask for it from the kitchen, and he can't afford to buy it on the street. ”

"Then how can you count on him?" Mi Tao was disappointed: "Even if you can come up with a few hundred taels, it's good." Even then, it's not enough. I can't sell my family's shop and land, even if it doesn't work out in the end. ”

"Girl, don't worry, our young master said it, he will think about it. And don't be in a hurry...... Ye Huang only repeated the words 'don't worry', and then said something else.

"Perhaps, there will be a way......" Cherry suddenly thought, maybe, if, if he could meet Yifang smoothly in a few days, what would he do there? Yifang has no father, no mother and no family, and the money he used to earn was used to help those homeless children. Now I'm afraid that Zhou Ming will not allow him to have any more dealings with the people in the palace, so maybe he ......
