my grandmother

Chapter 98

Mrs. Hong sent Li Wenliang away, stayed there for a while, and then slapped the coffee table fiercely.

He is still careless!

The Yueyang Preserved Egg Shop has just opened, and the first person to order is the steward of Wangfu Bieye!

He should have thought that the fourth sister of the Li family and the Shizi must not only have a half-sentence!

He thought of it at the time, careless!

He still underestimated the Li family!

The marriage between Aye and Yinzhu is too careless in etiquette.

Old Master Hong slapped him again.

He is really old and confused, he only thinks about benefits, his old eyes value money too much!

Ahye and Yinzhu's marriage has been discussed up to now, and there is no decent etiquette, from posting to hiring...

There is still room!

"Hurry up and ask the elder to come over, quickly!"

Old Master Hong slapped the table and roared.

"And your eldest lady! As for Lao Liu, hurry up and choose someone, go to Pingjiang City, ask the second old man to come back, and tell him to come back immediately! The sooner the better, you must arrive home before dawn tomorrow!
"Choose a few more people, go to Linhai Town, call the Second Master back, and let him get home before dark, go quickly!"

All the servants in the yard ran away in a panic after being yelled by Mrs. Hong.

....................................

Not long after Li Wenliang arrived home, Hong Zhenye's father, Master Hong, rode a horse and rushed to Lijiaji sweating profusely.

Li Shikuan, Li Wenliang and others are all in the ancestral hall, and they are re-arranging staff with the clan elders and the heads of several households in the clan to deal with the large number of make-ups that have already poured over.

Master Hong entered the Li family collection, rode on the horse, raised his voice to ask questions, and went straight to the ancestral hall.

Li Wenliang saw Master Hong first, and hurriedly stood up to meet him.

"No, no, it's best to talk here, and it's best for everyone to be here." Master Hong pulled out his veil, wiped his sweat one by one, and smiled dryly.

"Have a cup of tea first, no matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry." Li Shikuan signaled Mr. Hong to sit on the chair Li Wenliang had just vacated.

Li Wenru hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it to Mr. Hong, and put the pot over.

Master Hong drank a cup of tea, picked up the pot, poured another cup and drank it, looked at Li Shikuan, and said with a dry smile, "Father told me to come over quickly, it's nothing serious, just a little bit.

"Father said, even though the Yinzhu sister and brother lose their mother and father, they lose their mother and father, and this etiquette must not be taken lightly.

"Father means, that..." Mr. Hong's tongue and front teeth were fighting, "Well, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, and my second uncle will come over to give the dowry the day after tomorrow. No matter what, the dowry must not be less, Uncle Shi, don't you think so?" .

"The day is a good day, good luck. I just told the old man now, it's really, ha! Haha! Isn't it, the day is a good day.

"Second Uncle departs from my house early in the morning the day after tomorrow, around noon, and he will arrive at our Li's collection.

"Well, I won't bother you any more, see you later!"

After Master Hong finished speaking, he quickly stood up and ran out with his hands clasped.

Li Wenliang's eyes widened. Li Wenru pointed at the fast-moving Mr. Hong with a strange expression on his face. Li Wenhua put his head in front of Li Wenliang, wondering, "Didn't the betrothal gift be given already? Why did you pay it back? Is his old man confused? "

"This old man!" Li Shikuan slapped the table.

"If this is the next dowry, will there still be a formal auspicious application period? It's only a few days before the marriage ceremony!" The clan elder next to Li Shikuan asked with glaring eyes.

"It's not just this, I'm afraid that the makeup reminder, personal welcome items and ceremonial guards that were originally agreed will have to be doubled!" Li Wenliang smiled wryly.

"I'm afraid it's more than doubled." Li Wenru replied with his lips curled up.

The people in the circle stopped talking, you look at me, I look at you.

According to the etiquette of their Pingjiang Mansion, the man has a betrothal gift, and the woman's family has a dowry. The man uses gold clothes, pearls and emerald crowns to remind the dowry, and the woman's family has to return to the gold and jade study room, colored satin and jade pendant. Gold and silver!
"The Hong family has a very rich family background." Li Wenliang frowned.

"Our Li family is not too thin!" Li Shikuan's cousin Li Shiji slapped the table, "I'll get some for Yinzhu!"

"The discussion hasn't started yet, why are you in such a hurry!" The manchu family next to Li Shiji gave Li Shiji a sideways glance, "This is our business, how can we let you Wangzifang pay money! Brother Kuan The family has already made a fortune, and can't do it again!"

"The silver beads belong to our Shengzifang. We have to pay for the money, and we can afford it. It's just the money, isn't it!" Li Wen'an, the new head of the Shengzifang, expressed his opinion hastily.

"That's right, Fengsheng doesn't separate families, let's have two rooms." Li Wenqing, the head of Fengzifang, answered the question quickly.

"Our Li family is one family, why should we divide your room into our room!"

……

"Let's do this." Li Shikuan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Brother Datang is right, the Hong family has a solid foundation, and our Li family is not too weak. But," Li Shikuan paused, and looked at everyone one by one. "If word spreads that Yinzhu's dowry was put together by the Li family with all their efforts, it wouldn't be so good, would it?"

"Don't let outsiders gossip! I think it's just ours, there can't be too many people, there are too many people talking!"

"That's right! That's what I mean too!"

"Uncle Kuan is right!"

"Yes, yes, everyone, shut up!"

……

The people in the circle quickly expressed their opinion that they will pay the money, and there is no need for the clan to collect it from house to house.

"That's it, let A Liang estimate a general number first, and each family should recognize it first, so that you have an idea." Li Shikuan said with a smile: "When this happy event is finished, how much money and things each family has paid, list them A list came out, everyone read it, and I sent it to Mr. Xiucai. Mr. Xiucai needs to know about this matter.

"As for the outside world, let's talk about it: Yinzhu's marriage expenses are all paid by the scholar's family."

Everyone hastily agreed, and said with a happy smile that this would be the best.

They contributed money and efforts, as long as Mr. Xiucai... and his sister knew about it, it was fine for others to know about it!

All the manpower assignments that had been negotiated were overthrown, and Li Wenliang and Li Wenru were writing and scribbling at the small table next to them, budgeting what they should return and what they need according to the high-ranking dowry, invitation period, and reminder specifications of the Pingjiang Mansion. How much silver is needed.

The rest of the people got together, readjusted the allocation of manpower, and discussed whether they had to go to the dental shop in Pingjiang City to invite people back, because there were not enough young and strong in their clan.

....................................

Before Li Jinzhu had time to interrogate Li Xiaonan, he was called out together with Li Yuzhu and Li Yinzhu.

Li Xiaonan sat in the yard talking with Ah Wu and Wang Yuting.

"You guys came from Linhai Town?" Li Xiaonan took the dim sum plates from Sister Mei and filled the table.

"I went to Wangfu Bieye first, said I was leaving, and chased me all the way." Wang Yuting was still in embarrassment.

Ah Wu raised his head to look at the dim sum on the table, picked out a piece of crispy rice candy and handed it to Wang Yuting.

Her cousin likes crisp rice candy best.

"Are you okay over there? No one is doing things for you, right?" Li Xiaonan asked tentatively.

"Okay!" Ah Wu said happily and proudly, then frowned and showed a troubled look, "It's just worrying, too much worrying!"

Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at A Wu, who was shaking all over with complacency.

"You two horses are good." Li Xiaonan changed the subject.

Ah Wu frowned and raised her eyebrows, she was ready, waiting for Li Xiaonan to ask her why she was worried, but Li Xiaonan flickered because of Li Xiaonan's nonsense.

"Of course! It's 120 taels of silver!" Wang Yuting smiled with his lips pursed. "My son gave you 100 taels, and shopkeeper He Da gave you 50 taels. They were all used to buy horses."

Li Xiaonan dragged the end of her voice, and let out an oh.

Her nonsense, go back!
"Guess why the Master rewarded me with 100 taels of silver!" Ah Wu stretched out his head, and without waiting for Li Xiaonan to answer, he began to talk happily about how she found out that the silk on those boats was not right.

Li Xiaonan rested her chin and looked at Ah Wu who was so excited about the speech, stomping her feet and slapping the table, and Wang Yuting who laughed like a flower and added a sentence or two from time to time.

Alas, that elder son's vision of seeing people is not very good, just like Wang Yuting, who is obviously not the same as Ah Wu, how can she have any heart!
