Chapter 125: The Outer Room and the Dowry

Wang Xibao lay in Lin Xi's arms and found a comfortable position to lean on him.

Lin Xi hugged her tightly.

Wait until the place. The carriage slowly stopped.

At this time, it should be the time for Lu Yuan to come out of his comfort nest and go to the Heshun Marquis Mansion to give them lessons.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. Lu Yuan shook a fan and was sent out by a charming-looking woman from a large courtyard in front of him. The woman also had a little doll of four or five years old in her hand.

When Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at the carriage regulated by the county lord parked not far in front of him. I know that this little secret is completely in the hands of my little apprentice.

He stabilized his emotions. I said a few words to the woman. And he came up to him.

Outside the carriage. Lu Yuan was the first to speak: "Sister Bao, why are you here?"

Wang Jibao did not answer. He was really ashamed of this kind of man. The wife of the family worked hard to raise his two sons for him. But he was out and out all day long.

Seeing that his little fiancée was silent. Lin Xi opened his mouth for Wang Jibao and said, "Mr. Lu. Let's go to the front of the East District Bao Ji Food Street. Let's talk while we have breakfast."

After a year of operation. The food street that Wang Jibao and Wang Yuxun discussed has officially opened. To distinguish it from the West End. The East End specializes in high-end cuisine around the world. The West End is dominated by a variety of snacks.

Since the opening of the business, the popularity has completely exceeded everyone's imagination. Especially the business in the West End. It has been popular with everyone. Some people who are inconvenient to go to the West End with their own identities have also sent slaves to buy food.

Other than that. There is also a takeaway business in the West End Food Street. If it is not convenient for people to go out, they can also order takeout in advance. It's time for dinner. Someone will take the initiative to deliver the food to the door.

Business in the East End is not as hot as in the West End. But here is a high-end atmosphere and high-grade route. It not only brings together the food of Dayong from all over the world. It's the side of Shaoguo. Linxi has also gathered a lot of people to make and teach local food here. Now Wang Yupu is looking for a chef who can cook food from other countries.

Most shops in the Eastern District are closed in the morning. Only the food street also doubles as a breakfast business.

In the beginning, the business was not ideal. After all, the breakfast of rich families has a special cook. And it's no worse than what is done outside. But anyone who has been here is immediately attracted by the abundance of breakfast.

There are dozens of kinds of porridge alone, nearly hundreds of kinds of pastries, and countless side dishes. In addition, there are noodles, wontons, dumplings, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, eggs, tofu brains and other kinds of food.

Coming here for breakfast is simply a treat.

A long time. More and more people are coming here. And you can often see some acquaintances here. One comes and goes. Having breakfast here has also become a form of private gathering. It broke the fixed pattern of only going to the restaurant at noon and evening to have dinner, talk about things, and make friends.

As for saying the West End. The common people there used to have a habit of eating breakfast outside. Now there's more food in there. The choice is also more. It's more convenient to eat. It's also more hygienic and safer. Naturally, there are more people who go to eat.

Wang Jibao's carriage stops at the back door of the food court. The sharp-eyed guy stepped forward to greet him.

"The county lord. Why did you come here early in the morning. Next time you have something you want to eat, say hello to the little one early. The little one will be sent to the Hou Mansion immediately."

Lin Xi picked Wang Xibao off the carriage. I'm afraid of starving my baby. Hurriedly urged: "Less poor mouth. Hurry up and ask someone to prepare the private room to come out."

This early in the morning. Wang Jibao came with him to block Lu Yuan. Neither of them had time to eat breakfast.

"Yes, yes, yes. The small ones are called ready." Dude finished speaking. Hurry inside and spread the word.

Wait to enter the private room. It's also a little cold. But the good thing is that the charcoal furnace inside is ready. It's slowly heating up.

Lin Xi took off his cloak. Wrap another layer for Wang Jibao.

Said in a commanding tone; "I'll take it off when it's warmer in the room."

"Okay." Wang Jibao pouted. Obediently nodded in agreement.

Lin Xi stretched out his hand and scraped Wang Xibao's pouting mouth. Then take her hand and sit down.

Stayed for a while. Lu Yuan knocked on the door from the outside and entered.

Wang Jibao saw that Lu Yuan did not salute. Stretching out his hand, he pointed to the opposite position and said, "Master, sit down."

Lu Yuan felt very congested. Respecting the teacher doesn't work with him at all. Who will let themselves rely on Wang Jibao to make a comeback in the future?

Wang Jibao was also quite speechless about this master. In addition to having great talents. There's really no place for Wang Jibao to appreciate.

Maybe for someone else. It's not a problem for a man to be more romantic and flowery. It even makes people feel like something elegant. But for Wang Jibao, for that. A man doesn't even do the most basic things like raising a family. Light knows to spend all day drinking outside. What kind of man is it.

Lu Yuan didn't put any master's score. Pull yourself out of your chair and sit down slowly.

Wang Jibao waited for Lu Yuan to sit down. He asked, "That woman is your confidante."

Lu Yuan was still a little embarrassed to talk to his little apprentice about his woman outside. The old face was slightly red. He nodded. Hmmm".

"That son is yours too."

Lu Yuan's face turned even redder. Nodding his head again with an "um".

Wang Jibao asked, "You also bought the house in Sijin."

"Yes."

Wang Jibao continued to ask: "Then what have you bought for your sister and the two senior brothers over the years?"

Lu Yuan thought about it carefully. It seems that I really haven't bought anything for my wife and son-in-law. However, a few of their mothers used to be in the Lu family's land. I don't need to buy anything myself.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't squeak. Wang Jibao said affirmatively: "That is, there is nothing to buy."

Lu Yuan nodded and then defended: "A few of their mothers were in the clan land. There is food, drink, clothing, and a place to live. There are still people waiting. I don't need to buy anything."

Wang Jibao's brows furrowed even more. Such a man makes people even more angry. He took everything for granted.

"Then I'll ask you again."

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at Wang Jibao waiting for her question.

"Shi Niang is from a famous family. I guess when I first married you. The dowry must have been a lot for the family."

Because of this topic, Lu Yuan suddenly recalled the scene when he got married. Although Lu Shi married himself, it was not a ten-mile red makeup. But there are also a lot of dowries.

Wang Jibao didn't wait for him to answer and continued to ask: "But where has the dowry of the master mother gone now?"

Oh, yes. It's been almost a year. He hadn't seen any dowry from the Lu family.

"I. I didn't care." When Lu Yuan said this. Obviously lack of confidence.

"You don't care." Wang Jibao really can't wait to knock this person's head to take a good look. What's in there.

"DO YOU KNOW. You've been out here for nearly twenty years. How did the senior mother and the senior brother spend their time in the Lu family land. Do you know a man who doesn't have a husband around? How difficult is the life of a daughter-in-law who is not treated by her mother-in-law this day."

"It can't be. In addition to the proper portions. Don't they still have moonsilver to feed themselves on. How can you have a bad time?" Lu Yuan still didn't give up on his defense.

"Moonsilver. How much was your monthly silver in the Lu family?"

"Twenty taels."

"Master, what about them."

"Your master is ten taels. Your two brothers are five taels each before they reach adulthood. I think I'll have twenty taels when I'm an adult."

"Then Master, how much money do you need to spend a month?"

"A few dozen taels." This Lu Yuan is not sure. He's always been out spending a lot.

"You're sure it's just a few dozen taels. If the information I have is correct. You spend more than a few dozen taels of silver in the flower building a month. Plus the outer room you raise outside. There seem to be two more than that. You spend more than a hundred taels a month on them." Lu Yuan looked like he was out of the house. In fact, he still has a lot of private property outside.

"This. They don't have anything out there to make money. That's why I'll make up for it as a teacher."

"Then my senior mother and senior brother will have a place to make money."

"Isn't there still some property in your dowry?" Lu Yuan said that this is a little lacking in confidence.

"A woman who doesn't go out of the door. There is no competent person to take care of her. Which industry can still be kept. What's more, there are also concubines who want to occupy her property. It's hard not to recruit people."

The Lu clan has no home in the Lu clan. Although the daughter-in-law of Lu Yuan's second brother, Cao, was born in the Cao family. But because at home is not a favored daughter. So the dowry when she married into the Lu family was not much. Later, after she managed the middle feed in the house. began to think about Lu's dowry.

It didn't take long for her to discover that Lu was not good at it. So she found an opportunity to promise a lot of benefits to the few shopkeepers of the Lu family who were in charge of her dowry shop. Little by little, the Lu family's dowry shop was hollowed out. In the end, the shopkeepers reported to Lu's and said that the business was not good and that they were losing money all year round. There is no way to continue to operate. In the end, the Lu family could only sell these shops.

"How is this possible?" Lu Yuan still didn't believe it.

Wang Jibao pursed her lips. "Nothing is impossible. My wife's dowry has raised two sons for you over the years. If my memory is correct. When Master and I first met. We also talked about how difficult it is for women and children to raise. It's still hard to raise a man who doesn't make a climate. At that time, you thought I was talking about a man spending a woman's dowry money. Now you see what you've done. Be. The dowry of the master is not spent. Can be for nearly twenty years. You are for them. For your real home. What have been done. Think about it. The dowry of the master is a mountain of gold and silver. It's been nearly twenty years. How much is left?" Wang Jibao finished speaking. Took out the Lu clan from the purse and came to Yongdu shortly after. The dowry list that was re-copied for her was handed to Lu Yuan.
