Chapter 49: Shameless
Yuan Zhao only learned about Bai Mianmian's entry into the mansion on the second day.
That morning, she had breakfast, and the maid beside Mrs. Zhou came to send a message to her to go to the lobby.
Without thinking about it, she knew that it must be about the dowry, Yuan Zhao nodded, she wanted to see how the Zhou family was going to solve it?
When she passed, Mrs. Zhou, Mother Zhou, and the ladies of the second and third rooms of the Zhou family had already arrived.
Seeing Yuan Zhao, Mrs. Zhou greeted her affectionately, called her to her side, and took her hand to care for her:
"Zhaozhao, are you better?"
"Yesterday, when I heard that you fainted, my grandmother was worried to death."
"Grandmother, here are some good mountain ginseng, you can take them back later to replenish your body."
Old Madam Zhou's face was distressed, and she seemed to be completely unaffected by yesterday's events, and people who didn't know thought that Yuan Zhao was her own granddaughter.
Yuan Zhao had to admire Mrs. Zhou's ability.
Yesterday, she made the Marquis of Yongning lose such a big face, and she can still talk to herself today, it's really amazing.
Since this old woman wants to act, she will naturally accompany her.
The two of you have been acting back and forth for a while, and Mrs. Zhou made a look with the lady in the second room, and the second lady hurriedly said:
"Zhaozhao, the dowry matter has been ordered by my mother yesterday, you have worked hard for the past few years, and we will naturally make up for your dowry silver."
"Silver is easy to say, but those things are a little difficult."
"You know, most of the leathers, silks, and precious stones have been made into clothes and jewelry, which is a bit of a problem."
The second lady looked embarrassed, as if these things were really difficult to do.
They shared less than 100,000 taels of cash from Yuan Zhao, although this silver is a lot, but it is the same thing for a meritorious family.
Now that the Hou Mansion has returned, in a year's time, the silver will come out after squeezing it.
The trouble is those heads, and the jewelry is priceless.
Therefore, after yesterday's anger, several of them got together to discuss and decided to give only silver, as for those things that were used, they could be exempted, so there was such a thing today.
Her words have been said clearly, and it only depends on whether Yuan Zhao answers.
Yuan Zhao naturally answered, but the words he said made their faces change:
"The second aunt doesn't have to be embarrassed, it's not a big deal."
Hearing this, the second lady's face was overjoyed, but she didn't wait for them to be happy for too long before she heard Yuan Zhao say:
"Those things can be returned naturally the best, if they really can't be paid, they will be converted into cash, a family, I don't care too much with the second aunt and you."
The smile on the second lady's face suddenly froze, and the third lady's face was not good-looking, and Zhou's mother, who had not spoken, snorted coldly and said:
"Family? Are you embarrassed to say that? ”
"If it's a family, why do you bother with us about these broken pieces of silver?"
"Which one of you here is not your elder, shouldn't the younger generation be filial to the elders?"
Although the second lady and the third lady did not speak, their appearance was obviously the same as Zhou's mother.
As for Mrs. Zhou, she was chatting with her just now, but now she continued to recite the Buddhist scriptures with her eyes closed, turning the Buddhist beads in her hand, as if she was asleep.
Yuan Zhao couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
"That's what Mother said."
"It's all a family, why bother hurting the harmony for some silver."
Mother Zhou thought it would take a lot of effort, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Yuan Zhao, why did she suddenly become so good at talking again?
But Old Taijun Zhou didn't know when she opened her eyes, staring at Yuan Zhao's eyes full of scrutiny.
Yuan Zhao ignored everyone's surprise and slowly spoke:
"If it's okay, I'll quit first."
After saying that, she was about to leave, but Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stopped Yuan Zhao.
She had a bad premonition that she would regret it if she really let Yuan Zhao leave.
She has always had a good instinct, and this instinct has saved her countless times.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhou's mother and said:
"In vain, you are all elders to say such things."
"Zhaozhao has paid enough for the Hou Mansion, how can she suffer."
"She has no less things, and everything she uses is converted into silver according to the market price."
