Daughter! You and Li Kui's family affair is gone, the eight characters are also compatible, the end is a good match, and the mediakeeper is still a famous old man like Su Gong, not to mention decency, the family should also marry you in a beautiful manner. ”

Mrs. Han glanced at Liu Baosheng and said in her heart: "Dead man, what's the matter with just my daughter's family?" ”

Of course Liu Baosheng wanted to speak, but the question was, did he speak?

"Your mother has spent all the dowry prepared for you, and the family has to slow down before they can recover?" He is a dignified teacher, does he have the face to say such things to his daughter?

The Great Song Dynasty is an era of talking about noodles and looking at wealth, if the Taishi Mansion marries a daughter, and the dowry is all worthless Xibei goods, what face does he have to live in the capital? What other face does it have to go to the court to attend the court meeting?

Besides, it was not his own family's face that he was ashamed of, but also the face of his daughter Concubine Xian, and the face of the emperor.

Liu Qingqian raised her eyes obediently, looking gentle and lovely, but the light flashing in her eyes seemed to see through her mother's tricks at once, and asked softly: "Mother, you don't want to change the hexagram again, do you?" ”

"Is that the kind of person your mother is?"

Mrs. Han was silent, she couldn't pretend to be in the face of her daughter's questioning eyes, and said angrily: "It's all your fourth sister's fault, thinking about winning over the Cai family, she is not even the mother of the main palace, so she began to worry indiscriminately, and the mother and you are uncomfortable." ”

This is certainly true, but whether or not to tell my daughter is another story.

Liu Baosheng knew the importance of the palace, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing when you say these useless things, get down to business." ”

Mrs. Han snorted angrily, and said in her heart, "Why don't you say the right thing?" "There is no money at home, of course, it is the problem of the male host, but she is a woman who has to worry about these things, is it easy?

But for now...... Get through it first. Mrs. Han finally eased her breath, and said with a pleasant face: "Daughter, you are still young, if you marry like this, if you give birth to a child, it will hurt your body......"

"Mother-"

Liu Qingqian is a woman after all, and she is still a little woman who has not yet left the cabinet, and in the face of the problem of getting married and reproducing heirs, her cheeks will always be hot shyly, and she will not dare to agree with her head down.

Boom –

Mrs. Han saw that her daughter, who had a big idea, finally confessed, and rarely made a little daughter, so she nodded with satisfaction, and said proudly: Sample, shake your wit with me, and be a little tender!

Mrs. Han hurriedly finished what she wanted to say: "Daughter, what I and your father mean, first settle the family affairs." After two years, on the go. Now, your mother and your father have only one daughter under their knees, and if they go out of the cabinet, the family will be deserted. This matter is decided first, rest assured, your marriage will not be hasty at home. ”

After speaking, Mrs. Han didn't wait for Liu Qingqian to speak, and hurriedly left her daughter's boudoir.

Liu Baosheng also hurriedly slipped away.

Liu Qingqian sniffed and looked at her parents leaving in confusion, as if she was running away. She sensed the strangeness and unusualness of her parents, and muttered, "Doesn't the second brother-in-law often live at home?" How can it be deserted......"

Taishi's Mansion, Liu Qingqian's boudoir.

As the most favored daughter in the Taishi Mansion, Liu Qingqian, who has not yet left the cabinet, is all pampered in the Taishi Mansion. But the favored Liu Qingqian also has concerns.

After settling the accounts, she has already discovered the reason for her parents' weirdness, and it seems that her family's money seems to be a little small.

Mrs. Han gave money to the palace because of all the support of the second son-in-law and the third son-in-law, although the process was full of twists and turns, this family relationship must be maintained. The expenses of the Taishi Mansion in recent years have been very large, and it is necessary to maintain the dignity of the family of the virtuous concubine, and at the same time to subsidize the two sons-in-law.

If this is the case, I am afraid that my daughter will have complaints, let alone my son-in-law?

Of course, although the son-in-law of the old Liu family is almost good, he really doesn't pay much attention to money.

But the elders can't take it seriously, and they have to be evened out with a bowl of water.

The second son-in-law gave the Grange, the house in the capital.

The third son-in-law gave the grange and the shop.

This is a huge expense, especially when Mrs. Han can't give an empty grange to her daughter, son-in-law, servants, and stewards, all of which must be properly prepared, which is another big expense.

Although his father Liu Baosheng is a prince, the prince is just a casual official who doesn't care about things, and he is the favor of the imperial court, and he only has 120 yuan, plus a subsidy of 240 yuan (the duke's official salary), and he can receive 360 yuan in a single month. In addition, the fields and shops in Taishi Liu's hometown have been sold three years ago. If it weren't for the fact that the two sons-in-law were going to the capital to pave the way for their daughter with money, they were robbed by the thieves of Niubei Mountain. Liu Baosheng will not know Li Kui through his third son-in-law.

After meeting Li Kui, the Liu family embarked on a brilliant and prosperous road.

Zhi'en Tubao, Liu Taishi.

He will definitely not be able to do it, and now that his status is high, he looks down on Li Kui's ordinary family background. But the emptiness of the treasury is real, and he is not in a rut.

In the past few years, the Liu family bought a big mansion in the capital and spent nearly 50,000 yuan. This is a huge amount of money, and it is also one of the confidence that allows Liu Baosheng to have face in the court, you have money!

But in fact, after the secret recipe of snowflake salt was presented to the imperial court, the serious income of the Liu family was only Liu Baosheng's official salary, 360 yuan a month.

This amount of money is already a huge amount of money for ordinary officials, and even high-ranking bureaucrats. But for the Taishi Mansion, where can this money maintain the dignity of the emperor's relatives in the Taishi Mansion?

Liu Qingqian suddenly realized that the family had no money to marry her daughter, and it was not because her parents were reluctant to let her leave. Pushing the ledger in front of him, he sulked.

And Liu Baosheng and his wife had headaches one after another.

There is no suitable female dependant in the family.

Concubines, maids of the three, six, nine, etc., stewards, slaves, none of these. More importantly, where to find the grange and shops for the wedding is not a big problem.

And Liu Baosheng seems to be able to solve none of the problems.

If you want to talk about the maid, right?

The Liu family is not rich in background, and there are trustworthy maids who have children, but the military family is more rude than the other, and as for the cousins who are poor relatives choose to marry as concubines, they can't figure it out. It's not a trifle, it's a face. What other people have, the Taishifu can't take it out, is this like a word?

However, the Liu family was thin, and the relatives were drawn for a while, but they did not find a suitable candidate. Mrs. Han's family, forget it, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Liu Baosheng feels that sending his son-in-law a group of scourges will inevitably lead to complaining in the future.

But Liu Baosheng has a way, he pondered for three or four days, and really came up with a person. hurriedly summoned the second son-in-law and asked: "Renjie was drunk once after the provincial test, and it seems that he stayed in a family in Beijing, is there such a thing?" ”

Cheng Zhijie thought that his father-in-law had doubts about Li Kui's character, so he patted his chest and said: "Father-in-law, you still don't know the character of Renjie?" There was this, but Renjie didn't do anything. ”

"Well, he didn't do anything." Liu Baosheng stroked his palms and smiled with relief: "I heard that the woman of that family is also unmarried, how does she look?" ”

"Dignified and beautiful, of course, not as good as my lady." Cheng Zhijie followed the words of his father-in-law Liu Baosheng with a smile, and suddenly seemed to see someone passing through the front hall of the main house, and the color of the skirt seemed to be like his wife's, and he immediately changed his words and praised his wife for how virtuous she was. What made Liu Baosheng unhappy, and what made him even more frightened was that Cheng Zhijie approached and whispered in a low voice: "Father-in-law wants to take a concubine?" ”

Liu Baosheng looked at each other angrily, he didn't understand, was he so anxious? The father of the dignified concubine, can't he be a little serious?

Liu Baosheng scolded: "What nonsense? I was thinking that according to the current family of our family, your fifth sister will marry, so you have to prepare a few concubines and train the maids. Forget it, don't talk about anything else, it's the concubine that annoys the old man, since you said that Renjie had a relationship with that woman, it is better for the old man to come forward to recognize a goddaughter, and then it will not be because of what happened at the beginning, so that Renjie will let people gossip behind his back. By the way, let's talk about the situation in that house, you usually pay attention to these things. ”

Cheng Zhijie finished talking about the situation 1510, and Liu Baosheng felt that it was appropriate.

is a young head of the church, accompanied by a daughter at home, from a military family, and is not a serious official, anyway, it must be enough for Li Kui to be a dowry. Liu Baosheng felt that he had done a good deed, and Li Kui should thank him: "Okay, you have to take me to see it in the next few days and settle the matter." ”

"No, you can't go!"

Mrs. Han appeared in front of Liu Baosheng out of nowhere, so frightened that the tea bowl in Liu Baosheng's hand was almost thrown out. Putting down the tea bowl that had spilled a hand of tea soup, Liu Baosheng said in a deep voice: "Madam, this matter is a major event in my family. After Xiaoding, followed by Dading, this time the people of the Su family have done it in their minds, and they are waiting for the Li family to give a dowry. This cannot be delayed. ”

"You can't go?"

Mrs. Han insisted.

The dignified master Liu Baosheng didn't believe it, he couldn't convince a sect head the size of a sesame mung bean with such a big row outside? That's underestimating yourself, isn't it? Liu Baosheng said unhappily: "Why? ”

"What if you steal from the guard?"

Liu Baosheng's face turned green, and he found that his wife had been sour all day since the vinegar jar was broken, and he was guarding against him like a flower thief. Master Liu also has a temper, threw off his clothes, and left angrily. Leaving Cheng Zhijie nervous, he said in a low voice: "Mother-in-law, he can't do this father-in-law." ”

"When it's done, the sky will fall!" Mrs. Han said disdainfully.

In the end, Cheng Zhijie was entrusted with an important task, sent the return gift to Li Kui's house, and explained the reason why the marriage was delayed for two years, his daughter was too young, and she got married two years later.

In addition, Cheng Zhijie also had to go to Zhang Jiaotou's house to persuade Zhang Jiaotou to contribute his daughter, well, no, it was to let the Taishi recognize his daughter and marry Li Kui together in the future.

In addition to the mansion, Cheng Zhijie climbed onto his own flower horse and muttered: "What is going on every day this day, if it doesn't work, you have to find a helper." ”

He found Gao Yu to be with him, and after meeting Li Kui, the two of them were very unhappy with Li Kui's eyebrows. Li Kui asked: "Second brother-in-law, are you on a happy event?" ”

"No, it's you who have a happy event." Cheng Zhijie said with a smile.

Gao Yu said: "Renjie, you can thank our brother when the time comes." You've made a fortune. ”

Looking at the embarrassed backs of Gao Yu and Cheng Zhijie, Li Kui touched his nose and muttered: "God is mysterious, what's going on, no, I have to take a look!" ”
