The Duan family seemed to be particularly happy that Jiang Yao and Luo Mingmin were married: "I just received a letter from Uncle Jiang yesterday, saying that it has been agreed with the second master of the Luo family in Guihai, and the two families have exchanged Geng post tokens, but unfortunately, there is something wrong with the Luo family's industry in Dongping Mansion, and the second young master of the Luo family wants to rush over to deal with it, so the marriage has been delayed for the time being, and the two families have agreed that by the end of next year at the latest, the marriage will be done, and now Uncle Jiang is buying a dowry for his daughter." This thing is really surprising, I originally heard that Uncle Jiang took a fancy to Miss Yao's family, and we were still guessing whose family it was, but we didn't think it was an acquaintance."

Wen Yi was really happy in her heart, since the uncle of the Jiang family wrote a letter, it can be seen that it was really decided, could it be that Luo Mingmin took a fancy to him when he accompanied Jiang Yao to Jinnan? Originally, she only knew that Jiang Yao was interested in Luo Mingmin, but she didn't know what Luo Mingmin's intentions were, but now that the two families have put the marriage on the table, it can be seen that he is also willing, otherwise how could the uncle of the Jiang family contact the Luo family? I only hope that the rebellion of King Zheng's mansion will be put down as soon as possible, and the two can finally become married with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Wen Yi has remembered one thing: Mrs. Yu originally took a fancy to Luo Mingmin as her grandson-in-law, she used to want to say it to Wen Juan, and then she wanted to say it to Wen Hui, but now she has called Jiang Yao to go, and her sighing appearance is because of this, right? Wen Yi glanced at Old Madam Yu carefully, and sure enough, she saw that she had a sullen face, I don't know if it was because of Duan's mention of this matter, she squinted at Duan's with a bad look.

Wen Yi glanced at the Jiang family again, but the Jiang family was not dissatisfied with this marriage, and there was a smile on his face: "To be honest, although my brother is an official, his grade is not high, the Luo family is an imperial businessman, and his sister-in-law is matched with a Yao girl, which is not an insult to their father and daughter." However, my brother also did not think about it, he was engaged to get married outside, and there was no reliable female dependent in the inner house to come forward to manage it, maybe how to call the Luo family jokes, since he meant this, he should have written a letter earlier, I am Yao Yatou's aunt, just to help with the details. There is also Yao girl, the marriage is decided, so naturally he has to prepare a dowry, but how to prepare this dowry, he must always have a number in his heart as a father, everyone knows that he loves his daughter, but there is no reason to take out the ancestral property for his daughter as a dowry......"

Duan interrupted her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, now if there are some decent people in the family, who doesn't marry their daughter and send some fields and mansions?" Gold and silver jewelry materials or something, poured second. Miss Yao lost her mother since she was a child, and she heard that her mother did not leave many dowries, so she used them as dowries, but I am afraid that it is not enough. The uncle is willing to give some of the family's land to his daughter as a dowry, and he can also support the scene, but he is also a six-grade official, and Miss Yao is married to a rich and noble family of the first class in the world, and the dowry is too shabby, isn't it a shame for the Jiang family? ”

Jiang glanced at her with some annoyance: "Second brother and sister, you just know a little about my mother's family, or don't intervene?" When you first said goodbye to your niece and nephew, you played the sign of the daughter of the Shilang Mansion, but I didn't say anything."

Duan's face froze, he smiled reluctantly, coughed lightly, and then took the tea and drank it expressionlessly.

"What does it look like to be noisy and noisy," Old Madam Yu reprimanded weakly, "Your six aunts are still here, and you are not afraid of making the elders see the jokes."

Old Madam Lu smiled faintly and said, "It's inevitable that there will be some quarrels between concubines, and it's nothing. Glancing at Duan's family: "Just remember that you are the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and always remember that the Gu family's reputation is decent." After saying this, she ignored Duan's suddenly pale face, and turned to Jiang: "Eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, reasoning, this is your mother's housework, and I don't have anything to say." It's just that the fourth wife of the Luo family is the godmother of our nine girls, and she has always been close to our family, and the second young master of the Luo family is also very familiar with my grandson-in-law. ”

The Jiang family has always respected Mrs. Lu, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but straighten her look, got up and bowed her head and listened: "Auntie, please speak, nephew and daughter-in-law listen." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly: "Children are the hearts and minds of their parents, watching them grow up and start a family, parents still can't let go of their hearts, and they can't wait to do their best to give him the best things in the world." Your brother is like this, and so are you? It is normal for him to want to prepare more dowry for his daughter, no matter what, he is now the head of the Jiang family, no matter what he does in private, in front of outsiders, he must always take care of his decency. His decency is the decency of the Jiang family, and it is also the decency of your Jiang family's aunt and grandmother."

Jiang's face was ashamed, and he said dryly: "My nephew and daughter-in-law know, in fact, ...... Actually, I didn't mean that......"

Old Madam Lu smiled: "Auntie understands, you see that your brother's family does not have a decent female dependent to take care of these small affairs, for fear that there will be some mistakes and lose the dignity of the Jiang family, so you will complain." In fact, Yao Yatou has always lived in Beijing, if she hadn't gone to her father's appointment, these dowries or something, naturally you, the aunt, would have helped with it. I don't think there is anything I can do about this, no one expected him to marry his daughter in office, he didn't know that we were familiar with the Luo family, right? In fact, there is nothing bad about this, there are still a long days before the marriage, you discuss with your brother, give him some ideas, the silver that should be spent will be spent, and the things that should be purchased will be purchased. ”

Jiang's eyes lit up. Isn't it? Luo Mingmin is indeed white, and Jiang Yao is not a famous daughter, but Guihai Luo's is not an ordinary family, although it is not as good as Pingyang Gu's and Heng'an Liu's scholarly eunuchs, but the Luo family is rich and well-connected, and it may be useful in the future, not to mention anything else, what treasures will be purchased at home in the future, and there is no need to worry. Moreover, the Luo family's reputation in Guihai is needless to say, if they can find some errands or buy some properties for a few maiden nephews in Guihai City, it will also be beneficial to the Jiang family.

Thinking of this, she felt that her brother's request was not so excessive, since she wanted to get married, she naturally had to prepare a decent dowry, otherwise she would lose the face of the Jiang family, and the Luo family might not take the Jiang family as a relative in their eyes in the future. The official position of the horizontal and vertical brother is not high, and Luo Mingmin has no fame, so the dowry is not too rich, just a little bit of land to support the scene. So she smiled again, and said to the old lady: "My nephew and daughter-in-law follow my aunt's teachings, and I will write a letter to my brother when I turn around, it just so happens that I have a Zhuangzi in my hand, although it is not big, and there are two or three hundred acres of land, which was originally intended to be resold, so it is better to give it to Yao Yatou, and add some jewelry, plus what my brother and daughter-in-law left, it is almost the same." As for the Jiang family's property, it was originally planned to be returned to my nephew in the future, so there is no need to use it, right? ”

Old Madam Lu smiled slightly: "This is your mother's business, you can make your own decisions, just don't lose the bearing of a family like ours." By the way, this family affair has been decided, we are relatives with the Luo family, and Mrs. Luo Si must have more contacts. ”

Jiang said with a smile: "I have already sent the letter, Mrs. Luo Si is also happy, and asked me to come over tomorrow for tea, saying that it will be the Birthday Festival in a few days, and everyone will discuss privately to see what birthday gift should be entered." Originally, their family couldn't reach this share, but Fourth Master Luo was stationed in northern Xinjiang this year, and he made a contribution to stabilizing the border defense, and he also won the reward from above. She turned to Wen Yi: "The nine girls are also ready, right?" ”

Wen Yi was stunned and said with a smile: "I heard Xianggong mention this matter, but he said that the birthday gift was prepared by the people in the camp, not by each family, so there is no need to be careful." If it hadn't been for my aunt mentioning it, I would have almost forgotten about it. ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly said: "This is not good, I have to ask, if there is anything against the etiquette, the person who prepared the gift can't see it, you know, you can always remind it." ”

Wen Yi had to nod: "Yes, thank you for mentioning it, I'll ask someone when I go back." ”

Jiang's expression was very satisfied, but Old Madam Yu was not very satisfied. Since Mrs. Lu spoke just now, she has been congested in her heart. She will also say this kind of kind thing, what is Mrs. Lu doing when she is nosy? The most hateful thing is the eldest daughter-in-law Jiang, who is obviously her daughter-in-law, how can she be so respectful and obedient to the aunt in the other room? is also so careful about his cousin niece who has married in another room, how can he not see that he is so meticulous to his daughter Wenjuan and elegant?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yu straightened her face slightly, and said lightly: "Eldest daughter-in-law, why don't you see the six girls today?" Didn't you say she's all right? Why are there still fewer discharge doors after Chongyang? No matter how bad it is, you can't forget it in the morning and evening, right? ”

Jiang's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and whispered: "The master has ordered, so that Hui'er doesn't have to go out, and she can practice calligraphy and learn needlework at home with peace of mind." The daughter-in-law also mentioned that she wanted Hui'er to wake up in the morning and dusk, but the old man said that there was no need, let Hui'er have a good life, save the cold weather in the morning and evening, and fall ill again......"

Old Madam Yu made a gloomy face and snorted coldly: "I knew that if her father didn't speak, she wouldn't come to see me."

Jiang didn't dare to say anything more, Wen Yi and Old Madam Lu looked at each other. When I returned to the Chongyang family banquet last time, although the old lady Yu and Wen Hui were no longer close to each other, the affection on the surface was still there, why was it so cold now?

Duan said with a smile on the side: "Mother-in-law doesn't have to be angry, it's good to raise one more of the six girls, if you don't raise your body well, how can you go out?" Besides, she should also embroider the dowry, and in the future, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will spoil her too much, and they will not force her to do needlework. ”

Jiang's face turned even paler, but Old Madam Yu slowed down: "This is also reasonable, since this is the case, I will send someone to tell her, you must do it carefully, otherwise I will not follow"

Wen Yi looked suspicious: Could it be that Wen Hui's family affair has already been decided? She wanted to ask, but Mrs. Lu secretly pulled her, and she shut up. Later, when she carried someone, she asked her grandmother why she didn't ask, and Mrs. Lu said, "Didn't you see your eldest aunt's look?" There was no shadow at the time of Chongyang, and it was only a few days of work, how did you decide to get married? Maybe it's still under consideration. If you ask in front of everyone, even if you feel bad in your heart, it is inconvenient to say anything, it is better to ask your aunt in private. ”

Wen Yi thinks about it. The marriage that the long house is interested in for its own children, carefully speaking, almost none of them can be done, Dongning, who was originally going to marry Wen Hui, finally married Wen Xian, and then Wen An, Wen Hui, and Wen Juan, all failed, and the nephew of Huang Shenjiang, who wanted to say for Wen Ya, although he did not have a letter, but it was also ten times that he could not succeed. Although I don't know what kind of home Changfang has found for Wen Hui, but after a few days of hard work, it should not be decided. Why, then, did she ask publicly?

Before leaving the Shilang Mansion, Wen Yi looked for a vacancy and found Jiang Shi to ask about it. Jiang's eyes turned red, and he said: "Good boy, I know that you are worried about your sister, and you will never ignore her affairs, so it is just inconvenient to speak in front of everyone, right?" Speaking of which, I don't even have the face to say this in front of everyone. This marriage is said to be the thread drawn by your second uncle, and I don't know if I heard the idea of killing a thousand knives, and I want to persuade your eldest uncle to give your sixth sister to the prince of Han Wangfu to fill the house."

Wen Yi was secretly taken aback, recalled the memories of his previous life, and was a little incredulous: "The prince of the Han Wangfu you are talking about...... It is...... That one? He's in his forties, isn't he? ”

Jiang couldn't help crying: "It's not that old, thirty-five or sixteen, Yuan has been dead for several years, there are groups of concubines in the room, and there are seven or eight children under his knees, although they are not concubines, but this age is too old Your eldest uncle also feels inappropriate, and is still hesitating, and his heart is reluctant, but your second uncle blindly persuaded him to nod, saying that the prince of Han has always been loyal to the saint and the prince, and the Han Wangfu and the Dongping palace have always been at odds. King Han is old, he has always been indifferent, and the prince is so elegant, because the princess has been gone for a few years, the princess has been sick for a long time, and no one in the palace takes care of it, so it is not the same. Therefore, he doesn't care about anything that is not famous, as long as he is stunning and can take care of housekeeping for him. Your second uncle said, your sixth sister's reputation is bad, where can you find good relatives? If you can marry into the palace, you will be a princess in the future, which is a hundred times stronger than finding someone to make a promise in the past. A friend he knew was familiar with King Han, and promised to make peace, and asked your uncle to nod his head earlier, saying that if it was too late, he would ask another family to rob it."

Wen Yi couldn't laugh or cry. If it is really a good family affair, the princess of King Han has been dead for a few years, why does no one come to the door to say goodbye? She still remembers the rumors she heard in her previous life in the capital of those official eunuchs and daughters, this prince of Han Wang, is a lustful person, partial and irritable, as soon as there is unhappiness, the wife and concubine of the family will be whipped by him, I heard that the princess of the Yuan match was kicked by him when she was pregnant, and died of serious injuries, and the princess he married later was also sick for many years, and it was rumored in Beijing that he was often beaten by him. If Wen Hui marries in the past, where will there be a good life?

So Wen Yi said to Jiang: "The rumors of the Han Wangfu, the eldest aunt also knows about it, even if she really marries the sixth sister, it may not work, and the eldest aunt still persuades the eldest uncle to think twice." If the sixth sister marries, it is useless, but she suffers a lot of grievances, wouldn't it be ......"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the girl screaming outside: "Go to the water, go to the water, come quickly."

Wen Yi and Jiang couldn't help but be taken aback, and walked to the door to look, and sure enough, they saw thick smoke billowing from the west, and there was a hidden fire. Jiang's eyes immediately darkened: "That...... That's Hui'er's yard."
