"This child can't stand such praise from Mrs. Mu, and in the future, he won't ask for anything else, I just hope that Mrs. Mu can take care of one or two more."

The third lady, Xie Shi, said to Mrs. Mu.

Ye Jingzhao smiled lightly and let everyone look at him.

Mrs. Mu Zhao glanced at the third lady Xie with disgust.

There was a little more urgency in his tone, "In the future, we will all be a family, let's talk, we don't have to see the outside like this, I really like this child, not to coax you." ”

Mrs. Mu beckoned to Ye Jingzhao, the fourth girl, and motioned for her to come to her.

Ye Jingzhao looked at his mother, and the third lady Xie nodded slightly.

Only then did she walk towards Mrs. Mu.

Mrs. Mu Zhao got up and took Miss Ye's hand, her eyes full of satisfaction.

She slowly raised her hand and pulled out a golden hairpin carved with peonies from between her buns.

The stamens and petals on the peony were patched together with gems of similar colors.

The crystal clear gemstone reflects the red gold shading a little more vividly.

"This is still when I came out of the cabinet, my mother's marriage, these years, I have been careful to collect, in the future, I also hope that you can always pass on this hairpin."

Mrs. Mu Zhao smiled gently, and the whole person was full of love.

Ye Jingzhao was a little flustered.

"A piece of my heart, you just have to accept it with peace of mind, now it's not like before, don't worry too much."

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Mu Zhao raised her hand and put the red gold hairpin between Ye Jingzhao's buns.

Ye Jingzhao slowly bent down and no longer resisted.

"Third lady, why don't you ask these subordinates I brought to carry the one hundred and twenty dowry for the fourth girl to the third room."

Mrs. Mu Zhao pulled Ye Jingzhao to sit down.

Then he looked at the third lady Xie Shi and talked about business.

When the old lady heard this, her expression froze.

Without waiting for the third lady Xie to answer, the old lady opened her voice first.

"Mrs. Mu, this is all a family matter of the Bofu, so I won't bother the people of the Mu Mansion."

Saying that, the old lady turned her head to look at Mama Yuan, and ordered, "Go, call some careful people, and carry the dowry of the four girls to the treasury in the backyard first." ”

The storeroom in the backyard is the old lady's own private warehouse.

is so blatantly about usurping his granddaughter's dowry, which is a bit unsightly.

The eldest lady Liang stopped in a loud voice, "Mother, according to the etiquette, the dowry of the fourth girl should be kept by the third brother and sister." ”

She came from a big family, and she always looked down on the old lady for such a style.

If you really asked the old lady to swallow her granddaughter's dowry privately.

She didn't want to follow the old lady to be ridiculed by outsiders.

"The rules of our uncle's mansion have always been that the elders keep these dowry gifts for the juniors."

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady Liang lightly.

There was no shame on his face.

On the contrary, I think it is a normal thing.

Mrs. Mu knew that the old lady wanted to swallow the dowry of the four girls.

I brought my son here today.

She looked at the old lady with a smile and a look in her eyes that refused to back down.

"Old lady, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, this is my family's dowry for the four girls, how can I ask the old lady to guard the four girls, this is not in line with etiquette."

"Moreover, if the old lady bothered and hurt her body because of this, it would be the sins of these juniors."

Mrs. Mu spoke mellow and thoughtful, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The old lady has made up her mind today, how can she give up so easily?

"Mrs. Mu is still young, and these rules and etiquette are naturally not as thoughtful as my old wife, so just follow my intentions today."

"I want to come to the front of the table is also ready, let's go eat."

After the words fell, the old lady glanced at Mama Yuan, who was waiting on the side, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Be careful, if you stumble and hurt, be careful about your skin." ”

The old lady wanted to get up.

Mrs. Mu got up first, walked up to the old lady, and greeted her with a smile.

The body blocked Mama Yuan's way.

"Old lady, although I am young, although my knowledge must not be compared with that of the old lady, but today's dowry, what if I insist on carrying it to the fourth girl?"

The atmosphere froze all at once.

The old lady's face turned cold at the moment.

The eldest man got up and persuaded, "Mother, let's ask someone to carry this dowry to the four girls, besides, the treasury in the backyard can't hold these things." ”

The old lady glared at the boss angrily.

"I'm just keeping it for the four girls first, and when the four girls get married in the future, I will naturally ask someone to bring it out, is it possible that you all think that I will be greedy for this dowry?"

The words that came out of the old lady's mouth, no one in the audience believed them.

"Mother, these things were given to Zhao Zhao by the Mu family, or it is most appropriate to give them to Zhao Zhao for safekeeping."

The third master got up and saluted his mother.

The second master and the second lady Jiang sat in the same place, not wanting to get involved in this matter.

"You are all really powerful, give birth to a child, and now you don't take my wife in your eyes, you are really a white-eyed wolf!"

The old lady scolded angrily.

The eldest master and the third master looked at each other, but they didn't mean to back down at all about this matter.

"Old lady, today is a day of great joy, why is everyone unhappy because of these little things, the old lady's intentions, we all understand, but I just want to ask the fourth girl to keep it by herself. It's good that the two families are separated. ”

Mrs. Mu Zhao persuaded, her face was still soft.

Who knew that when the old lady heard this, she rebuked Mrs. Mu Zhao, "Now, don't you even want to on my old woman's head." ”

Today, she insisted on withholding the dowry of the four girls, and no matter who came to lobby, she would not agree.

Although there was a charcoal stove in the front hall, the air inside the house was a little colder than outside.

Mu Yanzong, the eldest son of Mu, saw that his mother was reprimanded by the old lady, and he was naturally reluctant in his heart.

Fang Cai has been enduring it, but he is thinking about whether the old lady is an elder in the end.

But today the old lady has spoken to such an extent.

According to his temperament, he must stand up for his mother.

Categorically will not sit idly by.

I saw Mu Yanzong, the eldest son of Mu, raise his feet and take a step forward.

Although he didn't speak, there was an aura of people who didn't dare to slack off.

"Old lady, ladies and gentlemen."

He first greeted everyone in the front hall.

Only then did he set his eyes on the old lady and saluted again.

The voice is loud and loud, and it is imposing that people cannot easily refute it.

"Old lady, forgive the juniors for being rude."

He first did enough courtesy, but what he said was extremely dissatisfied, "If I insist on handing over the dowry to the fourth girl for safekeeping today, what is the old lady going to do?" ”

There was a chill in his eyes.

The words were spoken as if they were commands.

"It's all elders here, and it's not your turn to intervene here."

The old lady's face was full of displeasure, and her voice was a little sharper.
