It was night, Sheng Hong was resting in Wang's room, calling the maid to remove the outer garment and listening to Wang's talk about Mrs. Gu's visit today.

"...The lady is gentle and expensive, she is not half arrogant, and she is reasonable in her words. Compared with the writer, she is really a heaven and an underground. Hey...six girls. Blessed!" Wang personally held a cup of Ru kiln that had rained over the sky from Caipei. "Hey, this is the tip of the hair that Mrs. Madam sent today. Let me try it, Master."

Sheng Hong put on a uniform and sat on the kang, and said, "The old lady is good, don't cut it all off." Don't blame him for speaking badly, Ms. Wang has a bad historical record.

Wang's heart was blocked for a while, and then he groaned: "Look at what the master said, when I was young and ignorant? Half of it stayed in Shou'antang, and the rest was given to the master and a few brothers and sisters. It's divided."

Sheng Hong nodded slightly, took the cup that Wang handed over, took a sip, with a hint of joy on his face, and praised: "Good tea, I'm afraid it's not as good as a motivated one."

"Oh—Six girls don’t have to worry, but Ru'er who pity me has to be with a great mother-in-law." Wang sat on the other side of the Kang table, stroking the golden jade ring on his finger, his face full of sadness; Sighing like a blue, praised Qin's virtues and kindness.

The more she thought about Mrs. Gu's benefits, the more she despised the old lady's vulgarity. The more she despised the old lady, the more she felt that Mrs. Gu's was a really good person. Shut up, Sheng Hong on the side only kept drinking tea without saying a word.

"Master, you just say something!" Wang sang a one-man show for a long time. Seeing that her husband ignored him at all, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "You don't worry about Rulan. I am the one who dares to love the girl! "

Sheng Hong slowly put down the tea cup, turned his head towards Wang clan, and Wang clan also leaned his body slightly. He listened sternly. He only heard Sheng Hong say: "You must be cautious when dealing with this lady in the future. Some, leave three points for everything...Oh no, leave seven points, don’t say everything, and take precautions, lest you regret it in the future."

Wang was very surprised, and stared at him: "Why is this? I looked at her so good, but the master has never seen her. How can I regret talking like this?"

Sheng Hong stroked his short beard, shook his head and said: "You don't need to see you to know. You look at her, then she must be amazing."

Wang’s forehead was squished, faintly aware that his husband was mocking himself, and said loudly: "What did the master say?"

Sheng Hong seemed to be in a very good mood, and he laughed: "When you were in Quanzhou, you and the prefect wife almost got together with Jin Lan. Later, you fell out for some reason, and you cursed her at home for two hours; When you were in Zhouzhou, you and Pingning County Lord almost didn’t worship the child. What about now? If it weren’t for the abbot of Guangji Temple to persuade her, you’d have to cast a villain to curse her! And the aunt of the Kang family, your sisters reunited after a long time. Later, you didn’t say anything to praise her, squeezing me to help, what’s next? You almost didn’t take her skin off...hehe, madam, you can understand it for your husband. If you look good, sooner or later. It's inevitable, it's better to prepare earlier!"

After he finished speaking, Sheng Hong’s smiling shoulders trembled, the beard under his jaw fluttered, Wang’s furious pink face turned red, and his mouth looked like a river carp out of the water, one by one, but he said no Something came out to refute, and in the end I had to irritately said: "Master is really in good spirits, and there is leisure to make fun of concubines!"

The prosperous spring breeze during this period is proud. Every night, colleagues, colleagues, or bosses invite banquets. Everyone is willing to meet and meet each other, and Sheng Hong is not happy, the more he thinks about it, the more proud Wang Shi told him to laugh more and more anger, he could only sullen his face, his chest fell together, and he was angry.

After laughing for a while, Sheng Hong straightened up and turned towards Wang's family, and asked: "How did you prepare for the marriage of the two girls?"

Wang sullenly said: “Rulan has passed Wending. After the first spring of the year, the wedding will be set at the end of February regardless of whether the paper is accepted or not. It is not good for a girl to be a sister. In total, it will be around the beginning of March."

Sheng Hong nodded slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and said to his wife: "Since the beginning of the new year, we will have a happy event. This time, let's be more careful. Once it is too public, it will attract attention; secondly... "He paused, and said to Wang's face seriously, "After a few years, you will tell your family and your daughter-in-law, and then go to Fengtian."

Wang was surprised: "What are you going to do in Fengtian?"

Sheng Hong was silent for a while, and sighed lightly: "Go to Fengtian, and kiss your mother-in-law to apologize, and by the way inform the two girls about the marriage."

Wang thought of his own mother, his heart was blocked for a while, and he said dullly: "I'm afraid that my mother is still angry with me, and I have lost many gifts. They all say that the mother and daughter have no overnight hatred. Too cruel."

Sheng Hong was solemn, with a serious look, and persuaded Wang: "The last thing was really ours. No wonder the mother-in-law was angry. Over the years, mother-in-law and uncle have been helping us, but you have so neglected your own family. , The nephew is the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family, how can they not get angry! Now that the family of Wang and Kang have been married, the situation has changed, we can't stay frozen; you go back, take a good guilty, if the mother-in-law is free and healthy, Simply picking up and staying for a while, we are also lively."

Sheng Hong respected this mother-in-law very much. At the beginning, he went to the Wang family to beg for a marriage. The old man did not approve of him, because he was born as a son, and he had no family background. On the contrary, the old woman looked at him and said that Sheng Hong was kind and honest. , There must be a future in the future, and only then was the second young lady in the family betrothed. For this, Sheng Hong has always been grateful for the kindness of Mrs. Wang.

Wang’s eyes were red, thinking of the kindness of the mother for decades. After marriage, she encountered the crisis of Aunt Lin. The old lady sent someone to help and admonished her to help. Her tears slowly shed: "It’s all because I am not filial, mother. I missed me so much, but I still made it difficult for her to do it in front of my sister-in-law!" As he said, he quickly wiped away the tears with the veil, and then smiled: "I listen to the master, this time I personally kowtow to apologize, it's a big deal. Mother just hit the board!"

When Sheng Hong saw this, he smiled and sighed: "This is what it is! Hey...it’s easy to add icing on the cake, but it’s hard to send charcoal in the snow. These days, I look at those who come for friendship, but often think of the friendship of the Yue family in the early years. Now my family is watching It’s better, I can’t forget my roots."

Wang was moved, watching her husband's eyes full of tenderness, and his voice seemed to be filled with excitement: "After all, my mother did not look at you wrong, you are a lover."

The good talk is over, it's the bad turn. Sheng Hong is an old fried dough stick who has been in officialdom for many years. He has the best conversation skills. He picked up the tea bowl and took another sip and asked: "Two girls are married, you How much dowry do you plan to prepare?"

Speaking of this topic, Wang's face stiffened, he lifted the warm cage on the Kang table, took out the teapot to fill Sheng Hong's tea bowl with water, and moved slowly and procrastinated: "I didn't say it earlier. That’s right! Just do it the same way, as much as you should.” Seeing Shenghong always staring at him, Wang knew that he couldn’t be vague, so he was unwilling to say: “But to be honest, it’s as easy as it is. Be thicker. Firstly, Ru'er has a precious status, and secondly..." Wang bit his lip, "Ru'er's grievances for marrying, you have to prepare yourself more."

"Confused!" Sheng Hong shouted without hesitation, slapped a palm on the kang table, and poured some water from the newly filled tea bowl.

Wang was not convinced, and immediately retorted: "Ming girl has got such an expensive son-in-law, what else is there to be insatiable!"

Sheng Hong raised his voice and sneered: "Dare you find your son-in-law for Ming girl? Or did you give it to your own sister?" Wang immediately stuck.

Sheng Hong glared at Wang several times and waved his sleeves, only to find that his sleeves were half wet by the tea. He twisted his sleeves and looked calm, and reprimanded: "The old lady of this marriage was not willing. , You didn’t teach your daughters well, let Ru'er do such a shameless thing, but when you finally couldn’t understand it, you put Mingya on your head. Are you embarrassed to say?"

Every time this matter is mentioned, Sheng Hong can’t help but scold Wang with a gun and a stick. After all, to a civil official who advertised in moral articles, the concubine's private meeting with the foreigner is simply on his face. Slap in the face; and every time at this time, the Wang family can only listen honestly, no matter what, it is the mother's responsibility to raise her daughter.

When Sheng Hong thought about Rulan and Wen Yanjing, he felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly. He couldn't help but train Wang again. After getting some anger, he returned to the topic: "I will To put it plainly! This time, both openly and secretly, as well as the house you were worth to Ru'er before, you have to buy the two girls' dowry as thick as you can!"

Wang's lips moved a few times, and he didn't say a word, but his face was very angry.

Sheng Hong stood up, looked at Wang's unwilling expression, and said in a deep voice: "Since you married into the Sheng family, I have any idea about your dowry? You want to leave it to you. I don’t have a half-word for the three children born. But you feel your conscience and think about it, your sister has such good luck, where has all her dowry been filled in these years! Don’t say that Brother Kang spent too much time, And the concubines and concubines in that house, which marriage does not depend on your sister’s dowry. Does the Kang family cry all over?"

Compared to Aunt Kang, Wang's luck is indeed good, Wang's speechless.

Seeing that her expression seemed to loosen, Sheng Hong stared closely: "Mo Er and Brother Dong needless to say, but the girl is in your name! So, whether you buy it for Rulan As much as you want, you will get as much as the Ming girl! To blame, blame yourself for teaching your daughters, and you have a scourge that almost drags down your family! You are telling your mother-in-law about this matter to see if she likes or disagrees with you! Back then, your sisters married , My family is far less wealthy than the Kang family. Is it possible that the mother-in-law divided the dowry of your sisters into thickness?"

Wang was bitter and could not tell, he slumped on the kang, twisting a kerchief in his hand.

Sheng Hong looked at Wang's expression coldly, and slowly added: "Not only that, you are not allowed to ask how much makeup the old lady puts on Minglan!"

Wang's heart tightened, suddenly raised his head to look at her husband, looking angrily: "Why is this? I dare not follow the master's command. The two girls have the same dowry! But they are both old ladies. My granddaughter! Is there any thickness?"

Sheng Hong said coldly: "Although the old lady has let go of the words, every girl puts makeup silver 1,500 taels, but when Hua Lan got married, she posted far more than this! You are me Don't know."

Wang immediately argued: "But Hua'er was brought up by an old lady——!" She was so excited that she stopped her words, and by the way, Ming Lan was even raised by the old lady.

Sheng Hong stared at Wang, his eyes could not hide his disappointment, and slowly said: "The old lady has raised me a lot. I have been with me a lot for the sake of my future. Now the things she has left for her are worth her. Give to whoever loves it, don’t read it!"

Wang is slanderous, and he certainly doesn't mind if it is Sheng Hong's flesh and blood.

Sheng Hong glared at Wang, relieved his sigh, and continued: "The old lady is a lover. She has raised Hua'er and Ming girl, and it is common sense to want to give more; now we disregard what she meant. He just used Minglan to top the tank, and the old lady wanted to give Ming girl how much you don’t want to be long-winded! If not..."

He patted the kang hard, and the shocked Wang clan shook, and he sternly said: "You have been married to the Sheng family for these years, Yu's mother-in-law has been disrespectful, and Yu's concubine's concubine has been unworthy , You are holding back you, but you are looking at the face of your mother-in-law and your uncle. You really don’t know what you think of me? What's more, didn’t you have any fault for Wei’s death back then?"

Wang was struck by lightning, shaking so badly, like a pale, dead person. Since she believed in Buddhism, she heard more Buddhas from the masters, and began to believe that there is a cycle of retribution, and Aunt Lin has already been punished. , Living in the cold and cold in the farm, Mo Lan's life in Liang's house is not easy, where should his sins fall?

She grimaced, and whispered: "Everything depends on the master."

Although Wang is a little careful and not generous, but she is still simply.

The next day, she went to entrust the housework with her daughter-in-law: "...I will go out in the first year of the year. These days, I have to do dowry with your two sisters. You watch more at home and prepare for the New Year gift. Ask me if you don’t understand, you ask the old lady after I go out. Now that you have a body, if you feel unwell or don’t want to move, just go find two Lan girls to help."

Hai's has already been in charge of most of the housework, and he is familiar with everything. He just looks at Wang's red eyes and secretly suspicious. In the next few days, when Hai's hears that Wang is about to open the warehouse, he will take out his early years. When the accumulated silk satin and precious wood were divided equally into two, she immediately understood what was going on.

Hai's has always been so obedient, and immediately said to Wang's: "The two sisters are married, and it is not easy for me to be a sister-in-law with empty hands. When I look back, I also put some makeup on them, which is a little bit of my brother and their brother. "

Wang stopped drinking quickly. Her math is very good. This calculation is still clear. If Hai’s dowry does not move, it will belong to her grandson in the future. If she wants to give Rulan a copy, Minglan will be indispensable. Now when she counts her dowry every day, she feels distressed like a knife cut. Bleeding?

"The Hanlin Academy is a place of hardship, and the children are still young. You will have a lot of money in the future! Don't tell me, I will take care of the makeup of your sisters. I can't afford it. Let's talk about it. Our Sheng family is not interested in worrying about the daughter-in-law's dowry!" Wang clung to Hai's hand and interrupted his daughter-in-law's thoughts.

In spite of this, Hai's heart knew it very well. After going back to discuss with Bogeer, he still prepared a lot of precious and exquisite jewelry for the two Lantian makeup.

About dowry is an eternal topic, and it always involves mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Compared with the warmth and beauty of the Sheng family, the Yuan family is hard to see.

The Mingtang of the main house of the Zhongqin Bo’s House, the doors and windows on all sides are tightly closed, the ground is scattered with fine porcelain pieces, the tea leaks all over the floor, the house is filled with a light tea fragrance, and the overturned smoker diffuses out The faint sandalwood, mixed into an indescribable taste.

Elder Yuan's face was green, pointing to Mrs. Yuan, who was standing next to him, shaking non-stop: "You, you, you, what you want? Actually thinking of taking the dowry of his daughter-in-law to patch Yinger! You are dizzy!"

Mrs. Yuan glanced at Yuan Wenshao who was on the side. She couldn't tear her face off, and said stubbornly: "She is a member of my family when she gets married! Anyone who has a dowry or a dowry is given the surname of Yuan! The mother-in-law said she would. It should be brought up honestly, and still have the face to complain to a man? What kind of tutor?"

With a slap, Uncle Yuan slapped the Fangtou case with a palm, and everyone's heart beats. He shook his beard and shouted: "Shut up! You still have the face to say your daughter-in-law, this For decades, don’t talk about your dowry, it’s the money of my Yuan family that you took to supplement your natal and Zhang family. Why don’t you think that they are all surnamed Yuan?"
