Hearing this, Chen Mo looked stunned, he never expected that the Fifth Fusheng would ask for a bride price.

The fifth Fusheng saw Chen Mo's deflated appearance, he was originally depressed, but he felt a lot better at the moment, and continued: "Since Mrs. Hui married His Royal Highness the county lord to the Hou Ye, that is a famous family to marry, although it is a concubine, but the number of gifts cannot be lost, the Hou Ye will not even give the bride price, right?" ”

Chen Mo: "......"

"Sir, where is this, the bride price will definitely be given, but Mr. also knows that I am in charge of the land of Sizhou, millions of people are pointing to me to feed, the people's livelihood is difficult, money is needed everywhere, and the pressure is great" Chen Mo first cried poor, and then said: "But His Royal Highness the county lord is sincere to me, even if it is difficult, this bride price cannot be less." ”

"You put me on Tai Chi." The fifth Fusheng listened to it for a long time, and was stunned for a while, saying so much, how much dowry are you going to give?

Don't talk about the void, talk about the number.

However, he was not the parents of the county lord of Chujuan, and it was not easy to ask Chen Mo what kind of bride price he would give, so he could only sigh in his heart and underestimate Chen Mo's shamelessness.

"Sir rest for another night, and I will tell Madame about this later, and let them clean up and leave with Mr. tomorrow morning." Chen Mo said.

"I hope Master Hou will keep his promise." The Fifth Floating Path.

"Don't worry, sir."

After the fifth floating was born, Chen Mo went to the mansion where the Huai Wang's family was imprisoned, and it was also a coincidence that he met the Huai princess again, thinking about the picture he saw a few days ago, the sage's cooling time had passed, and he couldn't help but stand a little unconcerned.

Chen Mo smiled at Xiao Yunxi, and went straight to Mrs. Hui's courtyard.

Looking at Chen Mo's back, Xiao Yunxi frowned, this womanizer, he didn't leave until he went down, it wasn't completely dark this day, so he came again, don't you want to rest

In Mrs. Hui's room, Mrs. Hui was having dinner with her second daughter Chu Juan, and the dishes were very rich, seven dishes and one soup, half of which were meat dishes.

Mrs. Hui likes red very much, wearing a bright red palace dress, embroidered with gold thread and twined branches, looking gorgeous and unmatched, three jade fingers drag the bottom of the bowl, her hands are like finely ground white jade, round and slender, with chopsticks to pick up a pea-sized ball of rice balls, into the cherry mouth, elegant manners.

Chu Juan knelt opposite Mrs. Hui, there was a long case between the two, a cyan long dress, her face was fair and delicate, as smooth as porcelain, her appearance had Mrs. Hui's five ~ six points of imagination, her skin was more delicate, but a little less moist and mature.

She lowered her head at the moment, eating only white rice, and didn't say a word.

Mrs. Hui noticed this, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Chu Juan's bowl, and said, "Juan'er, what's wrong with you, you just eat without vegetables?" ”

"Nothing." Chu Juan took a bite of the piece of meat that Mrs. Hui had sandwiched, but she only felt that it tasted like chewing wax, and after chewing it for a while, she couldn't help but say, "Mother, has he looked for you?" ”

Mrs. Hui was stunned: "Who?" ”

"That's the man."

"Chen Mo?" Mrs. Hui said.

"Yes."

"No, why are you asking this?"

"That's good."

"Huh?" Mrs. Hui was puzzled.

"Nothing." Chu Juan looked up at Mrs. Hui's eyes, except for a trace of doubt, she didn't see a trace of panic, so she breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease.

She stayed in this mansion all day long, and she still heard about what happened in the mansion, Chen Mo came here every once in a while, and those who served were all spreading that Princess Huai and the three ladies were having an affair with the Hou Ye, which made Chu Juan very worried, for fear that it was true, because Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gan were already convinced that they had an affair with Chen Mo.

Mrs. Hui put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Juan'er, do you have something to hide from your mother?" ”

"No, mother, don't ask." This kind of thing, Chu Juan is embarrassed to say it too clearly, Mrs. Hui is her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Hui felt that something was wrong, and at this moment, Chen Mo's voice sounded outside the house.

Mrs. Hui and Chu Juan's complexions changed slightly.

Chen Mo didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door directly and walked in: "I'm having dinner, it's so fragrant, I haven't eaten it yet, I just happened to eat together." ”

Chen Mo closed the door and walked over.

The two women stood up nervously and helplessly.

Chen Mo sat on the ground in front of the long case, then beckoned to the two women, and said, "Sit, it's all a family, why are you so polite." ”

The two women glanced at each other, Chu Juan grabbed Mrs. Hui's hand, and the latter gently patted the back of Chu Juan's hand to put her at ease, and then barely squeezed out a smile on her face, and said, "We are all full." ”

said, and said to Chu Juan: "Juan'er, you go back first." ”

"Mother" Chu Juan didn't want Mrs. Hui to face Chen Mo alone.

"Let's go back first."

"Yes, mother."

When Chu Juan was about to leave reluctantly, her little hand was suddenly grabbed by Chen Mo, making Chu Juan scream like an electric shock, and Mrs. Hui was also panicked.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have something to say, come and dine with me." said yes, he pulled her to sit down next to him, and the two of them were next to each other.

Chu Juan, who had been in such close contact with a man, only felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't sit still.

"Master Hou, Ling."

Mrs. Hui wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Chen Mo: "Madame married His Royal Highness the county lord to me, that is my woman, can't I leave her to eat with me?" ”

It's better to marry a concubine, after Mrs. Hui is married, even if she is included in the family, she only needs to toast Chen Mo and Wu Mi with a glass of wine, which can be regarded as a courtesy.

Mrs. Hui had nothing to say, the two were already two, looking at her daughter's eyes for help, Mrs. Hui just didn't see it, and sat down opposite.

"I haven't moved much to see the food and vegetables, I'm really full?" Chen Mo glanced at the long case, especially the white rice that was obviously only eaten a few bites in the two bowls, and said.

"Neither Bengong nor Juan'er have much appetite." Mrs. Hui said with her eyes down.

"Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. Can't afford to waste it. Chen Mo pulled the rice chops from the two bowls into one bowl and began to eat.

Mrs. Hui and Chu Juan were stunned, and then their faces turned slightly red.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Mrs. Hui hurriedly said, "What does Master Hou want to say?" ”

After eating a few bites to fill his stomach, Chen Mo put down the dishes and chopsticks and stretched his mouth towards Chu Juan.

"Ah" Chu Juan was taken aback.

"Help your husband wipe his mouth." Chen Mo didn't have a good airway.

For Chu Juan, Chen Mo didn't plan to set rules for her like Liang Xue and them.

Chu Juan was stunned, since she was a child, only others served her, how could she have served others, she couldn't help but feel a touch of grievance in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve cage to help Chen Mo wipe her mouth, and her face turned even redder.

Chen Mo then said: "These days, I wrote to King Huai and asked him to send someone to pick you up, and today people happened to come, in order to show my attitude towards His Royal Highness the county lord, I decided to give 200,000 taels as the dowry of the county lord." ”
