After the marriage decree came down, Chu Shuyu locked himself in the boudoir and refused to see anyone.

Chu Shuxiu was worried about his daughter, and he stayed outside Chu Shuyu's room after he came back.

Fortunately, Chu Shuyu's close maid Yiyi is still inside, but she is not worried about Chu Shuyu looking for a short time.

But he felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to go in to comfort him, but Chu Shuyu refused to see him, and he didn't want to leave.

At this time, Xian was counting and preparing Chu Shuyu's dowry.

Although His Majesty clearly said that he would not hold a wedding banquet, for the Chu family, he was also a married daughter, and he still had to give what he should give.

The dowry left by the Deng family is taken care of by the people left by the Deng family, and she doesn't need to interfere, what she is ordering is the share given to Chu Shuyu in the Chu family.

was busy, someone outside came to report, it was the steward of the front yard hospitality.

"Madam, Mrs. Deng is here."

Xian Shi's hand paused when he looked at the list, and said lightly: "The people of the Deng family are here, tell the grandfather, what did they do with me?" ”

"Grandpa is guarding the third girl, this Mrs. Deng is a guest, now the relationship between the Chu family and the Deng family is different from the past, the daughter of the Deng family is here, you have to go out to receive it."

Xian Shi thought for a while and didn't say anything, got up and told Mother Yang and Mother Qiu to continue to prepare the dowry, and then went out with Banxia and Zhiqiu.

In the front hall of the Chu family, Mrs. Deng's face was very bad.

In the past, when she came to Chu's house, she didn't need to wait in this front hall, she would be taken inside to find the Deng family, but now that the Deng family was suspended, she came to see Chu Shuyu, and she was blocked here.

Outrageous!

So she didn't even want to take a sip of tea, and waited for someone to come with a cold face, thinking that it was Chu Shuxiu, but she didn't expect it to be Xian's!

She understood and changed her face, gritted her teeth and sneered: "Mrs. Xian has such a big shelf, she made me wait for so long, and it is really the three fires of the new official, and now this Chu family has become your world?" actually neglected my Deng family so much, it really can't be on the stage! ”

Xian Shi smiled faintly, but there was a coolness in his eyes: "If Mrs. Deng can't speak well, then please leave, I won't accompany you." ”

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Deng immediately shouted angrily: "You stop me!" ”

Xian Shi stopped, but Banxia on the side stepped forward and angrily reprimanded Mrs. Deng: "Presumptuous! ”

Mrs. Deng's face was stiff and in disbelief.

She was angrily reprimanded by the handmaid of the Xian family...... Licentious?

It's ridiculous.

Banxia said coldly: "My wife is the Duchess of Hengguo, the lady of Yong'an County who was given the title by His Majesty, and she is in the first rank, even if Mrs. Deng is the wife of the family, and the order on your body is only from the second grade, how can you have the confidence to dare to offend my wife so much?" ”

Mrs. Deng felt like she was slapped in the face, her face was green, and she had nothing to refute, she only felt extremely embarrassed.

It stands to reason that the Deng family is the number one family in Beijing, and her status is not low.

However, His Majesty intended to suppress her, and her husband was the secretary of the second-grade Ministry of Industry, and she only got the second-grade order.

And Xian was raised by His Majesty before the identity of a flat wife, and got a fate, and now that Deng is retired, Xian is the justifiable Duchess of Hengguo, and she has a double fate.

Just because Chu Huan married King Ming, a lowly prostitute, he stepped on the heads of these famous and noble women.

How ridiculous?

Banxia said: "Mrs. Deng is old, won't she even make amends for the following crimes?" If not, please go back to Deng's house and learn etiquette. ”

Mrs. Deng was annoyed: "What are you?" A little maid dares to speak to Mrs. Ben like this? ”

Banxia: "Even if I am a little servant, I am not Mrs. Deng's maid, and it is not your turn to ask." ”

"You ......"

Mrs. Deng choked and was so angry.

She had to point the finger at the Xian family, thinking that the Xian family would be easy to handle: "Mrs. Xian, is this how you discipline your subordinates?" It's really unruly. ”

Xian Shi only turned around at this time, and smiled faintly: "To deal with uneducated people, it should be uneducated, so when dealing with people like Mrs. Deng, Banxia's lack of rules is just in handy." ”

Mrs. Deng was angry: "You...... You ......"

Xian Shi smiled lightly: "The people of the Deng family are dominant, I have already been taught, and the daughter I raised is like this, and it will not be much better to marry someone who enters the door, so I don't care about you, you are here to see the third girl, come with me." ”

These words humiliated the Deng family, and Mrs. Deng wanted to refute it, but the Xian family had already turned around and went to the backyard.

Mrs. Deng hung in her throat in one breath, she couldn't go up and down, and she was so uncomfortable, but she could only endure it for the time being, and followed to see Chu Shuyu with a sense of resentment.

She shouldn't have come!

When I went to the courtyard where Chu Shuyu lived, I saw Chu Shuxiu standing outside Chu Shuyu's bedroom, with his back to this side and motionless.

Chu Sheng was behind him, and when he saw that Xian Shi had brought someone here, he hurriedly walked over to salute and greet him: "I've seen Mrs., I've seen Mrs. Deng." ”

Xian snorted and led Mrs. Deng to Chu Shuxiu.

Standing behind Chu Shuxiu, she blessed herself and said, "Grandpa, the Deng family came to visit the third girl, and it should be for the third girl's mother." ”

When Chu Shuxiu heard this, he turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Deng, and his expression did not change.

only said: "Since Mrs. Deng came to see her, go and see if she is willing to see her, since she knew that she was going to be the concubine of the King of England, she locked herself up and refused to see anyone, my father really doesn't know what to do." ”

Mrs. Deng was quite gestured, nodded and then planned to walk to Chu Shuyu's bedroom.

But I'm a little unwilling.

She turned around and glanced at Xian Shi in disgust, and complained to Chu Shuxiu.

"Grandpa Guo, it's better to restrain Mrs. Xian, so carried away, humiliating me and the Deng family, in the end, the two families were once in-laws, and now there are two common bloodlines, so it is better to leave a line."

Chu Shuxiu was surprised for a moment, and then frowned and looked at Xian Shi.

Xian's eyes looked at his nose and nose, and he drooped his eyelids without arguing.

After Mrs. Deng finished complaining, she snorted coldly, threw up her sleeves and walked to Chu Shuyu's bedroom.

Chu Shuyu refused to see Chu Shuxiu, but let Mrs. Deng in.

Chu Shuxiu didn't say anything about the Xian family, he just didn't want to pay attention to the Xian family now, and he couldn't blame it.

However, Xian couldn't ignore him.

"Grandpa, there is something that I have to discuss with you."

"What?"

Xian said: "It is the dowry of the three girls, and the concubine has estimated the share left to her by the mother of the third girl. ”

Chu Shuxiu wrinkled his brows and said impatiently: "If it's over, it's over, and the Chu family can't afford it, what's wrong?" ”

Xian reminded him: "Grandpa, the third girl is just a side concubine. ”

Chu Shuxiu looked at Xian Shi coldly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Xian Shi took a deep breath, and his tone was still soft, not impatient: "The concubine wants to ask Grandpa, do you want to make Your Majesty angry again?" ”

Chu Shuxiu was stunned for a moment.

Xian said: "Where was the amount of the dowry that the Chu family gave to Huan'er, Huan'er was married to be the princess of Ming, and the three girls were only married to the king of England as a side concubine, if the dowry exceeded Huan'er, wouldn't it be equivalent to stepping on the faces of His Majesty and King Ming?" ”

Although Chu Huan was a substitute for marriage at the beginning, before the wedding night, the matter of substitute marriage was a secret, so when Chu Huan got married, the dowry given by the Chu family was a specification only for marrying Chu Shuyu, which was real.

Unless Chu Shuyu wants to marry the King of England as a concubine, her dowry cannot exceed Chu Huan.

Chu Shuxiu also understood this, so he didn't think that Xian was selfish.

Xian Shi said again: "Besides, the county lord of Heyi is the princess of the British king, and the Gong family can guess how much her dowry can give, if the third girl surpasses her, wouldn't it be clear that she slapped the future British princess in the face?" Make a feud with her and the Gong family's Qin Palace? Grandpa, there is some hatred, if you can have less, you can have less. ”

Chu Shuxiu asked lightly: "Then what do you mean?" Deduction of the dowry belonging to Shuyu? ”

Xian said: "Obviously, naturally it can't surpass Huan'er and the county lord of Heyi, this is also the dignity of the royal family, so the concubine plans to convert the extra dowry into a silver ticket and bring it to the third girl, and it just so happens that she went to the British Palace, and there are more places where she needs to use silver." ”

Chu Shuxiu looked at Xian Shi in some surprise.

Xian's method is excellent, and there is no conflict with anyone on the face, but it does not let Chu Shuyu be wronged.

Although the dowry silver ticket cannot be put on a show, it can always let people know the value.

It's also attentive.

Chu Shuxiu stared at Xian's face, fixed his eyes on Xian's eyebrows, and asked, "Liniang, ...... you Don't you hate them? ”
