After the Xu family arrived at Zhuo's mansion, on the seventh day, the Dou family invited their mother and daughter over.

Dou sat on it, his face couldn't show his joy or anger, "You're still used to living in the mansion, right?" I heard that you are going to buy a house in the capital? ”

came up but said politely, and went straight to the topic.

For this lady, Xu is still a little jealous, "Yes, it's always the same here as your own home, but you can't always bother." ”

Dou's eyelids lifted, but he looked at Yuan Niang, and his eyes were filled with emotions that Yuan Niang couldn't see, but Yuan Niang didn't feel that she should avoid it with a weak heart, and calmly looked at it.

"Although the words are true, it's just that there are two family affairs in front of Xiyu and Yuan Niang, and it's not too late to wait for the family affairs to be done, and it's the dowry of the two children, how much money do you plan to pay for each person?"

Jiang is really old and spicy, and Dou's words directly shot at the silver in Xu's hand.

Xu's face turned pale, "I'll pay for it?" ”

Dou ignored the look on her face, and leaned into the couch weakly and weakly, "You are their mother, naturally you will buy it, if you can't be busy alone, and you can trust us, you can take out some silver, let's go buy it, the two children are married to the Hou Mansion, this dowry can't be light, otherwise our Zhuo Mansion can't raise its head in the capital, just one hundred and twenty-eight per person." ”

"What?" One hundred and twenty-eight? Xu Shi was completely dumbfounded this time, "Auntie, you also know the situation of our mother's three, where do I have so much money to buy them wedding makeup." ”

At this time, the Xu family felt the crisis, where did she still have the confidence to buy a house, she had some silver, but if she bought a dowry, I am afraid that there would be no money left.

Besides, the money is her life, and isn't it the same as asking for her life?

Dou sighed, "Even if you have the money to buy a house in the capital, how can you buy a dowry and have no money?" Isn't it because you're reluctant? ”

Xu Shi only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted, "Auntie, I 、、、 where my little silver is enough to buy a house in the capital, I am thinking about selling the house in Jiangnan, and adding it together, I may be able to buy a house、、、"

"How does this work?" Dou directly interrupted her words, "Jiangnan is also an ancestral house, how can it be sold, it is really young, and the housekeeper is not stable, forget it, how much silver you have taken out now, not enough I am using my own private money to fill in some for the two children, since we are doing it in the middle, how can we also fulfill the good things of the two children." ”

Where did the Xu family dare to say another word, and after talking for a while, he retreated, thinking about the tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand, and ruthlessly took out five thousand silver, and asked Cuizhu to send it to the Dou family.

Looking at the five thousand taels, Dou was still shocked, so that he didn't expect to have these silvers, and when he thought of Xu's temperament, he was afraid that he couldn't take it all out, but since she took out these, she was a person who didn't enter the account, and she was afraid that there was not much in her hand, so she didn't say anything.

After hearing this, Yuan Niang pursed her lips and smiled, if the Dou family knew how much silver the Xu family had, she might vomit blood.

In the meantime, Zhuo Xiyu went to Xu's place, and then Cuizhu came, only saying that she was taken away by the eldest lady, and she didn't know what they said, and Yuan Niang didn't go to her heart.

After all, Zhuo Fu can't do anything for the sake of his own face, and Yuan Niang is also relieved.

After Yuan Niang entered Zhuo's mansion, she never came out of this partial room, and Zhuo Wenjun never came, and it was a lovely person around her who came to deliver a snack.

A few days later, the Hou Mansion heard that Yuan Niang had arrived in the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, and invited the three girls from Zhuo Mansion to come to the Mansion to play.

When I arrived at the Hou Mansion, there was already a girl waiting outside, and the three of them got out of the carriage, and then went all the way along the cobblestone path to the backyard.

When she was welcomed into the house, Yuan Niang could feel a sharp gaze coming over, and she couldn't look up next to the rules, until she sat down after the salute, and then raised her head slightly, and saw the gaze that looked at her through her eyes.

It was a woman who looked sixty miles away, with kind eyes but a faint sharp color, who could see through your thoughts at a glance, so that you had nowhere to escape, which reminded Yuan Niang of another pair of black eyes.

Grandparents, no wonder it's so similar.

"This is Yuan Niang, right? Come, come and sit. The old lady called Yuan Niang with a lovely smile.

Yuan Niang naturally didn't dare to slack off, got up and walked over, although she was pulled by the old lady to sit on the couch, she didn't dare to sit down, but she just took a side, and lowered her head shyly.

"Yes, the eyebrows are clear, and it looks like it's easy to get along with."

Yuan Niang secretly pulled the corners of her mouth, it was really difficult for the old lady, it was really difficult to praise her if she was not good-looking.

Zhuo Xiyu secretly sneered, thinking about it, she could see this.

It wasn't until Sima Ruqing got the letter that she led the three of them to Sima Ruqing's courtyard to talk.

"Hey, why don't you see your sister?" Zhuo Xiyu asked casually.

Sima Ruqing glanced at Yuan Niang before taking over with a smile, "She's quiet, I'm afraid it's in her own yard." ”

Along the way, Zhuo Xiyu's eyes kept moving, "What about your brother?" ”

This sudden sound of brother made Sima Ruqing stunned, and only after he reacted and asked who it was, he pursed his lips and smiled, "He's weak, and he doesn't like to come out anymore." ”

In the end, the smile was ambiguous, and Yuan Niang's face became inexplicably hot.

Zhuo Wenjun also heard the meaning of ridiculing Yuan Niang in his friend's words, and stood up to solve the siege, "Okay, when you get to your yard, why don't you get us some delicious food, otherwise you will let the other sisters know that you are stingy tomorrow." ”

Talking and laughing, they entered Sima Ruqing's room, and the girls had already brought in the prepared food and fish.

Zhuo Xiyu sat for a while, then couldn't sit still, "Ruqing, why don't you take us to the garden for a walk." ”

The person who came was a guest, Sima Ruqing naturally would not refuse, but Zhuo Wenjun's face was a little bad, and when the group walked to the garden, Zhuo Wenjun pulled Yuan Niang and left behind.

In a voice that can only be heard by two people, "Does my sister think that my big sister is a little weird today?" ”

Yuan Niang shook her head, but said in her heart, eldest sister, I have already found out.

Zhuo Wenjun pondered for a long time, and finally muttered, "I'm afraid I'm too worried." ”

Yuan Niang is not afraid, anyway, if Zhuo Xiyu makes trouble, Zhuo Wenjun is present, and she can't bear it, and then it means that Zhuo Fu's face has nothing to do with her, she is just watching the excitement from the sidelines.

The garden of the Hou Mansion is very large, the rockeries overlap, it will take some time to come out if you don't pay attention, when you enter the small pavilion, Sima Ruqing has repeatedly admonished, Zhuo Xiyu seems not to have heard, stayed in the pavilion for a while, and couldn't help but run out of the pavilion.

Sima Ruqing obviously also found that today's Zhuo Xiyu was wrong, because of her friend's face and Zhuo Xiyu would become her aunt in the future, Sima Ruqing could only send the little girl and her mother-in-law to follow closely, and Mo Jiang was lost.

Zhuo Wenjun's face was only lowered under the table, and Sima Ruqing was even more embarrassed to mention it when she saw it, and beckoned to the two of them, "Look, this grape was brought back from Jiangnan, and it can't be found in the capital now." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Niang felt a hint of coldness, Jiangnan is summer, but now it is early winter here, seeing that it is another year, I don't want the days to pass so quickly.

"It's really sweet, sure enough, Jiangnan is good, second sister, you also came back from Jiangnan, let's talk about the fun and delicious there" Zhuo Wenjun ate a few grains, and the food made her feel better.

Yuan Niang looked at Zhuo Wenjun with a wry smile, "Cousin, aren't you embarrassed Yuan Niang?" Yuan Niang has never been out of the house, where would she know this. ”

Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Ruqing were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud, the two glanced at each other, and there was a burst of laughter, and the Yuan Niang made a big red face, thinking that she was still laughed at by the two of them, but her heart was sweet, such an atmosphere seemed to make her return to the days when she was in school in modern times and died together.

"Don't smile, if you marry my brother in the future, you will be my sister-in-law at that time, let my brother go out with the two of us at that time, and there will be no one to stop me then" Sima Ruqing squeezed her eyes at Yuan Niang.

Yuan Niang's face couldn't help but turn red again, and she retorted, "Okay, let you bully me now, stay in the house, and see how I clean you up." ”

"Yo, take a look," Sima Ruqing looked at Zhuo Wenjun, "This threatens my sister-in-law before I leave the house." ”

Yuan Niang bit her lip, why did she fall for it, and she was a human being in vain.

Zhuo Wenjun pursed his lips and smiled, while comforting Yuan Niang, "Don't go to your heart, speaking of which, Ru Qing's mouth hasn't been said by anyone yet." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the good atmosphere was broken by the girl who ran back from the rockery.

"Miss, Miss Zhuo Dabiao doesn't know where to go" The girl knelt directly on the ground.

Sima Ru stood up suddenly, her originally smiling face was black, but her face immediately recovered, "Ask more people to find it." ”

didn't ask, just thought through the importance for a while, Yuan Niang nodded secretly, sure enough, it was the young lady of the Hou Mansion, to have a few courages, if you asked how to lose it in front of them, it seemed to slap them in front of everyone.

Zhuo Wenjun couldn't sit still, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand hatefully, "How is this good?" Ruqing, you see, if it's convenient, let's go find it too. ”

"Well, let's go and have a look." Sima Ruqing almost opened her mouth, but finally swallowed.

Yuan Niang had a guess at this time, and she was shocked, could it be that Zhuo Xiyu was unwilling to marry lower than herself, and went to find a son? Thinking of the question she asked about the son when she came, Yuan Niang's expression was also confused.

If it really makes a big fuss, this Hou Mansion is not an ordinary person, and as soon as the marriage is canceled, Zhuo Mansion may want to make himself bear this notoriety for the sake of fame.
