Chapter 230: Talking about marriage

"This group of people is really cheap and good! Bride price and dowry, is the question of how many years has Dongxu continued? If a woman does not have a bride price, she has no dignity among her neighbors! If a woman marries into another family, if her mother's family does not provide her with a rich dowry, she will be bullied by her in-laws! ”

"This group of people is simply thinking about the national policy with their feet. It's disgusting! ”

"Mother, you can't say that."

Tao Ruoling brought Shen Meilan a cup of tea and asked her to quickly drink the fire.

"Didn't many poor families also make a fuss because of this bride price? I heard about Wang Penghai and Kang Chuntao's family before. Kang Chuntao caused a lot of conflicts because of the bride price of a few hundred taels of silver. That Kang Chuntao's maiden family refused to return the corresponding dowry. After Kang Chuntao got married, he was bullied by his in-laws. So mother, you see, this marriage, if the mother's family does not keep its promises, it will make all the families with men in Yuzhou City feel cold. In the end, it is our women who suffer. ”

"Snort. What do you know? ”

Shen Meilan glanced at Tao Ruoling.

"Even if the mother's family does not return a rich dowry, what does it have to do with whether the family with a man gives a bride price or not? This group of people thinks about the white wolf with empty gloves all day long, thinking that they can marry a daughter-in-law without paying anything. Why don't they go to heaven? They don't even think about it, if they can't marry a daughter-in-law, even if they add all the conditions, they won't be able to marry. And those who can marry a daughter-in-law don't care about this idea of money at all? Tell me, doesn't a man who has no face have to spend more money to get a wife? If they are handsome, knowledgeable, and considerate, they are still worried that they will not have a daughter-in-law to marry? ”

"So, the people above don't understand the twists and turns at all. The people above are simply pretending to be confused. They want to rely on provoking the issue of bride price and dowry to push down the premium of the small courtyard in Yuzhou City. ”

"And that Xue Ruiming, he really lost his money."

"This man really earns all kinds of money, and his conscience is all eaten by dogs!"

Shen Meilan said so much at once, and her throat was also dry.

Now there is no one in the backyard, and she is too lazy to pay attention to any dignified and virtuous lady. Directly pour a pot of tea down.

After her throat was a little less dry, she began to reprimand Tao Ruoling for her innocence.

"You, look at problems, look at things, always only look at the surface. If you have half of Tan Qingqing's ruthlessness, I won't always worry about which husband's family you want to marry, so that you can be safe and worry-free for the rest of your life. ”

Speaking of Tan Qingqing again.

Tao Ruoling knew that her mother, what she was thinking in her heart and mouth was always Tan Qingqing. If you don't talk about Tan Qingqing, you have to talk about your third brother. said that his younger brother is in a private school, how well he studies, and he will be admitted to school immediately, and how powerful he can be.

Anyway, no matter what she and Man Ning do, they can't satisfy Shen Meilan.

It's someone else's child every day, and Tao Ruoling's head is getting bigger when he listens to it.

"Mother, Qingqing, she is not like me and my sister, she doesn't go out of the door. She's a wild child. And mother, you don't want to hear what those women chew the root of her tongue into. If we get close to her again, let alone whether we can marry a good family in the future, even if we marry a good family, they will also criticize me and my sister because of our relationship with Qingqing. ”

Seeing that Shen Meilan's face was a little gloomy, Tao Ruoling hurriedly added.

"I also like Qingqing. But what she's been doing lately is too gossipy. And now she has provoked Xue Taishou again...... Even the Feng family already wants to get out of the marriage! If it weren't for the little son of the Feng family who was stubbornly stopping, I am afraid that he would really be able to withdraw from this marriage. ”

"Mother, if a woman is divorced, it will be a big ugly thing. My sister and I will also be affected. ”

Tao Ruoling has also been very anxious recently.

Nowadays, many households are frantically marrying off their daughters, three books and six ceremonies, dowry and so on, and they don't even carefully calculate, they start to buy one and get one free.

There is even a situation where several sisters marry a husband together.

They Tao Mansion, those are rich and noble households.

How can they learn from these poor families to do the things of several sisters serving a husband?

"Mother, listen to me, these days, let's not have anything to do with Tan Qingqing. Even if we want to get along, it will have to wait until my sister and I get married...... Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to marry, and if we get closer to Tan Qingqing, it will be even more difficult for us to marry......"

Before Tao Ruoling finished speaking, he was angrily reprimanded by Shen Meilan.

"Why are you so focused on yourself? That's it, I know you two have been annoying a lot lately. I don't bother to say anything more to you. I have also been preparing for your marriage for a long time. The Fang family and the Li family in the south of the city are rare scholarly families. Their ancestors also became officials. As for their children, I have sent to inquire about them, and they are all upright men. I'll find a time for you two sisters to meet them. If you look at each other correctly, then I will make the decision for you and help you prepare some rich dowry, so that you can marry beautifully. ”

"That's always going to work, right?"

"Okay." Tao Ruoling happily pulled her mother's arm, and finally turned her worries into joy.

And when it came to the specific matters of marrying, Tao Manning, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected, "Mother, if we marry those two families, what about Tao Shan'er and Tao Wan'er?" They can't marry better than us, right? ”

As soon as Tao Shan'er and Tao Wan'er were mentioned, Shen Meilan's smile froze on her face.

"Sister, why do you want to mention them so decently? Don't you know that our mother-in-law hates them the most? ”

"But this hate is hate, and things still have to be handled." Tao Manning, like Shen Meilan, was more disgusted with Tao Shan'er and Tao Wan'er living better than herself than worrying about whether Tan Qingqing would delay their marriage.

"Mother, Tao Shan'er and Tao Wan'er's marriage, can't we use our hands and feet to let them marry farther away? I don't want to see them in Yuzhou again! And mother, you are the mother of the Tao family, you can still handle this little thing, right? ”

Of course, Shen Meilan wanted to do it.

But the problem is that her cheap husband was fooled by Aunt Liu, but what about the baby.

Not to mention something as big as getting married.

Without her husband's approval, Tao Shan'er and Tao Wan'er's marriage would not be so easy.

And Tao Manning looked at Shen Meilan and didn't answer, and even shook Shen Meilan's hand, and said coquettishly, "Mother! ”
