The reconciliation went smoothly, except that when the Xiao family proposed to take back Xiao Liuhua's dowry according to the dowry list, Mrs. Duan, who had been leaning on the chair sickly, jumped up and said: "No!"
As a mother-in-law, she was somewhat aware of Xiao Liuhua's dowry. Xiao Liuhua had a soft temper, and Mrs. Duan had often found excuses to "turn around" some money from her.
Mrs. Duan knows very well what kind of situation the Duan family is in. If the compensation was paid to the Xiao family according to Xiao Liuhua's dowry list, it would be easy for the Duan family to lose a skin.
The Fourth Madam originally disliked Madam Duan, so when she saw her like that, she pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief and said with a sarcastic smile: "The dowry is a woman's personal property, and the dowry has always been taken away. Madam Duan, you He is also from a famous family, and the Duan family is an aristocratic family with a noble family background, so he is not willing to part with these possessions, right?"
The second lady looked polite and polite, and said at the side: "Since both families have agreed to divorce, let's just get together and part ways. Our family won't care about some scattered things. , but the big stuff, no matter where it goes, has to be brought back to my parents’ home.”
Mrs. Duan didn't know this. She looked suspiciously at the ladies of the Xiao family. She began to wonder if the Xiao family wanted to reconcile so happily because they were reluctant to part with Xiao Liuhua's large dowry. ?
"The truth is indeed true. It's just that Liuhua was once my daughter-in-law and lived in my family for such a long time. How can this dowry be the same as when I first got married?" Mrs. Duan forced a smile and looked at herself again The sister-in-law said: "Sister-in-law, do you think this is true?"
Mrs. Duan's maiden name was Qin. When Mrs. Qin heard about what happened to the Duan family, she secretly complained in her heart. She didn't want to get involved in this mess at all, but as Mrs. Duan's sister-in-law, she also knew that she would definitely not be able to escape.
When Mrs. Duan turned the topic to her, Mrs. Duan's sister-in-law glanced at the fourth lady's half-smiling look, and could only bite the bullet and said: "This is indeed true. After all, how much does Mrs. Xiao have?" I also had a relationship with my nephew for several years."
The third lady immediately sneered and said: "Mrs. Qin, you also have a daughter, and I heard that she is getting married soon. I just wonder if your daughter has suffered so much in her husband's family, can you still say it? That’s what it means?”
Mrs. Qin's heart trembled. Her little daughter was indeed about to get married, and the chosen husband happened to be the son of the fourth wife's natal brother.
She raised her head and glanced at the fourth lady, and saw that the fourth lady was also looking at her.
Mrs. Qin immediately closed her mouth and quietly stepped back. She originally felt that this matter was a bit embarrassing, not to mention that it might threaten her daughter's marriage, so Mrs. Qin was naturally even more reluctant to come forward.
"So Mrs. Duan finally agreed like this?" Neither Yuan Miaoyi nor Xiao Yunyue participated in the conversation between the two families at that time. Xiao Yunyue went out for something at this time, so she and Aunt Cui took a walk in the Xiao family's flower garden. While asking.
Aunt Cui nodded and told Yuan Miaoyi that the daughter of Madam Duan's eldest sister-in-law was about to marry the son of the fourth Madam's natal brother.
"And it was Mr. Duan who nodded in the end." Aunt Cui continued: "Mrs. Duan can't support herself alone, so in the end she followed the wishes of the third lady. I heard that the Duan family is raising money recently."
Yuan Miaoyi didn't bother to guess why Duan Zhichen suddenly nodded and let go.
But Mrs. Qin's incident made her couldn't help but smile. Marriage between big families was like this, and there was no telling who had some roundabout fate with whom. After all, Mrs. Duan is just a married sister-in-law, and her daughter is her own flesh and blood. She can't let her daughter hate the elders of her husband's family before she gets married because of the dirty things of the Duan family, right?
Speaking of marriage, Yuan Miaoyi suddenly sighed, looked at Aunt Cui and asked, "How about what I asked you to do before?"
The maids around her have all reached the age of marriage. Although Yuan Miaoyi has many candidates, she still feels that it is better for both parties to consensualize the important matter of marriage.
Afraid that these people would be shy and unwilling to tell her, Yuan Miaoyi specifically asked Grandma Cui to ask them what they meant in private.
These people have been with him for so many years and have worked hard. Yuan Miaoyi's relationship with them is more than just master and servant. Now that she is happily married, she naturally hopes that the people around her will also be happy.
Aunt Cui looked at Bai Zhi and the others, and Yuan Miaoyi's instructions, so she was naturally very concerned about them.
When Yuan Miaoyi asked about it, she said, "It's okay for Du Ruo. She said that my mother told her about a family in Hedong. I'm just waiting for her to go back and see her when she has time. If it's appropriate, I hope you'll be merciful." Let her go back and get married. When I ask about the remaining ones, I just say they are following your arrangement."
Yuan Miaoyi hummed and said: "When Du Ruo came to me, he was not very old. He had been separated from his parents for so many years, and I don't know what kind of family he was talking about. He went back some time later. Shengjing, I'll write a letter to Shihua's cousin and ask them to come to Beijing. I have to see it with my own eyes before I feel relieved."
If it is appropriate, Yuan Miaoyi plans to release the physical bonds of these people before they get married, which can be regarded as the friendship between them for so many years.
After saying that, she felt a little headache and the remaining people. Aunt Cui looked at her expressions and said, "Don't be anxious. If not, you can ask them what they mean in private. But, these few around you The first-class maids are being released one after another to start families, so you need to have some new people around you. Do you see any of the current second-class maids that you like?"
The first-class maids around Yuan Miaoyi are all required to serve her personally, so the selection must not be careless.
In order to avoid causing trouble, he had to be lifted up from the second-class maids according to the rules. It's just that she is used to being served by these people around her, so she has no impression of the second-class maids below.
One thing after another, Yuan Miaoyi had to think carefully: "Mommy, please choose a few that are suitable first. Let them come to serve you during these days. Bai Zhi and others will be here in an hour and a half. He won’t be released so soon.”
It was a life-long matter related to Bai Zhi and the others, and Yuan Miaoyi rarely felt that it was a bit tricky. In the evening, he sent all the waiters out and sat alone in his room thinking.
When Xiao Yunyue came back from finishing his work, he saw Yuan Miaoyi sitting under the lamp with her chin in her hands, thinking deeply. Hearing the sound of him coming in, Yuan Miaoyi raised her head to look at him, her brows not even loosening.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yunyue changed his coat before walking over and asking, "What happened? Is Heli's trouble going because of something else?"
