What kind of bad thoughts can my husband have?

Chapter 147 Dowry

"Ma'am, let's stop listening, it's almost time, we should go."

In the tea shop, the storyteller was eloquent and his hands were flying, and he told a secret of the previous dynasty with ups and downs. The people in the tea shop forgot to drink tea and shortbread. Listening intently, even the clerks in the store were sitting on the door pier, without blinking their eyes, for fear of missing a word.

Only Aunt Liu sighed and urged: "Ma'am, you are the one who wants to eat mutton soup. It must be ready at the Grand Master's house right now. You said it's already noon in the morning. If you don't go, the Grand Master will give it to you." Someone is coming to remind you."

Xue Dan clicked his tongue, seemed very upset when he was interrupted, put down his teacup, and said, "I'll finish listening to this part, what are you urging, maybe the mutton soup from the eldest brother's house can grow wings and fly now No?"

Aunt Liu couldn't laugh or cry, she had been with this man day and night for more than forty years, and she knew Xue Dan's temper very well, if she knew her mind, no one would be able to persuade her.

When Cardamom Nianhua was about to get married, the old man chose a candidate who was going to be elected, but Xue Dan disagreed with life and death, and set his own goal, which was the candidate who failed the exam that year. This marriage was settled. After marriage, she took care of the housework and assisted her husband in the scientific examination. After six years of insistence, the husband won the prize. Now he works in the household department. The husband and wife are loving and harmonious.

"Okay, okay." Aunt Liu said helplessly, "Then let's go after listening to this passage."

Who knew that just after Aunt Liu finished speaking, the storyteller slapped him awake, waking up everyone present, it turned out that the storytelling was over, Xue Dan smacked his lips, and couldn't help blaming this person for disturbing him.

Aunt Liu helped her up and said, "It's all the old slave's fault, madam just go away."

When Aunt Xue saw the storyteller begging for a reward with a plate, she took out a silver ticket from her bosom and put it on the tea table. Aunt Liu took a closer look, and said, "Madam is really a big hand." After taking back the banknote, he took out some scattered silver from his pocket and put it on, "This is a family property that my uncle earned with great difficulty, but it cannot withstand such a mess like yours."

Aunt Xue didn't care much, she pulled her cloak and walked out: "My natal family is rich."

"Ma'am, don't say such things in the future. You are already married, so there is no reason to keep reaching out to your natal family."

Aunt Liu came to the door and waved. The boy who drove the car had already been sleeping there in the dark. When he heard the sound, he woke up, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, opened the curtain of the car, and said, "Ma'am, have you finished listening?"

"After listening, let's go to the eldest brother's house." Xue Dan said.

The servant nodded, Aunt Liu also got into the car, and was about to drive, when Aunt Liu suddenly said, "Look, Ma'am, is that Ping Lian next to Young Master Xingchuan?"

Xue Dan poked his head out and saw Ping Lian was staying with a pretty girl. Somehow the two of them were discussing something, but the little girl was blushing and was holding her hands behind her back.

Aunt Liu wondered, "What's the matter?"

"Stinky boy!"

Who would have thought that Xue Dan would yell straightforwardly: "What are you doing!"

When she yelled, everyone on the street looked over, including Ping Lian and Mang Zhong. The former saw that it was Xue Dan, so he hurriedly asked Mang Zhong to go with him, walked to the carriage, and said with a smile, "Greetings, madam, the house is ready." I bought my wife's favorite mutton soup, why haven't you gone there yet?"

"Damn monkey, do I still need you to remind me?"

Xue Dan glanced at Mangzhong, and she also said obediently: "I have seen Madam, Madam Kang'an."

Xue Dan crossed his arms and said with a smile, "You brat, is this your wife?"

Mangzhong heard the words, his face turned red, and before Ping Lian could speak, he explained first: "Ma'am, I was joking, this slave is Young Madam's dowry girl Mang Zhong, it was Madam who asked Nu Ping Lian to come over... to treat her as something."

After Mangzhong explained, a little unhappiness flashed across Ping Lian's face.

"As a thing?" Aunt Liu gave Xue Dan a strange look.

"As what?"

Xue Dan's tone was also lower, his eyes darkened: "But what happened to the elder brother's house?"

Ping Lian looked at Mangzhong in embarrassment, Xue Dan took a closer look, there was indeed a pawn shop near the tea shop, he became suspicious when he saw this, and said: "Girl, tell the truth." He snorted, "I Let’s see what it is, I have been in Xue’s family for more than 40 years, and I have never heard of anyone pawning things for money.”

Mangzhong said, his eyes were slightly red, and he said aggrievedly: "Returning to Madam, a courtyard that the saint gave to the master at the beginning of the year was named Cangzhu Courtyard by the young master. He said it was going to be repaired, and the master will leave this matter to you. Let our young lady do it, the young lady thought, just follow the picture drawn by the young master, but it will cost at least 3000 taels of silver. If you want more money, the young lady is timid and dare not tell the master, for fear of being scolded, so let... the slave take some jewelry from the dowry to the pawn shop, and exchange some money to take it back."

After Mangzhong finished speaking, even Aunt Liu couldn't listen to it anymore. What a shameful thing it was. Fortunately, they had met them today. Otherwise, it would be known that Xue's daughter-in-law had nowhere to spend money and had to use it as a dowry. After being smashed to pieces, he turned around and said, "Ma'am, look..."

"You two, go back to the mansion now and give me what you want to pawn."

Xue Dan instructed.

Mangzhong's face was hesitant, but Ping Lian took the package from her arms and handed it to Aunt Liu. The person weighed it, and there was a jingling sound from inside, it should be jewelry.

"You go back first."

Xue Dan's face was a little ugly, and he asked Aunt Liu to put down the curtain, and the carriage drove away.

Mang Zhong watched, his face turned from sadness to joy, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said quickly: "Madam is right, we can really meet her here."

Ping Lian watched her turn from cloud to love so quickly, folded her arms and shook her head: "People say that your girls' faces are like June, and the weather is uncertain. I want to cry, but I immediately smile like a flower, which one is you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all doing things for Madam."

Mangzhong murmured: "Young Madam asked me to do it, of course I will do my best." Then he patted the purse on his waist, which was bulging, "It's rare to come out, but I got my wife's reward, so I'm not as good as you It's not too late for me to go in and have a cup of tea before going back."

This is Mangzhong's first invitation, Ping Lian immediately smiled and said: "Okay." He raised his chin again, pretending to be magnanimous, "It's just that there is no reason for you to pay, the young master loves me, and I have some Broken silver by my side, I invite you today."

"If you invite me, what's the fun in this tea shop." Mang Zhong turned around, looked around, pointed to a rouge shop not far away, and said, "Let's go there and have a look, and bring some for Chun Equinox and the others by the way." Go back." Pointing to Ping Lian's smiling face again, "You said this, don't go back on your word."

Ping Lian only cared about her being happy, of course she had no complaints, her heart was pounding, she covered her mouth with her fist and coughed lightly, and said to Mang Zhong: "Of course I won't go back on my word, I'll buy you whatever you want .”

Hearing this, Mangzhong bit his lips coquettishly, and whispered: "Then let's go."

Ping Lian nodded hey.
