Ninefold Purple

The Miao couple knew that their son had a lot of ideas, and when they heard this, their eyes lit up, and they said in unison, "What can you do?"

Miao Anping smiled slyly: "One picks the male, the other the female. The Song family just bullied our family because we have no money so they dare not ask for the bride price. But the bride price is always before the bride price, we can cheat the bride price first Let's talk."

Father Miao immediately understood what his son meant.

He shook his head like a rattle: "That's not acceptable. The marriage certificate clearly states the amount of the bride price and the amount of the dowry. We won't be able to get it out at that time..." At this point, he paused and clapped his hands Xiang Jian looked at his son with eyes filled with relief and admiration, and said, "Why didn't I think of it? This is a marriage bestowed by the emperor. Will the Song family still divorce the marriage?"

Miao's mother was frightened, and hurriedly said: "It can't be done, it can't be done! If the Song family sues for imperial court, how can our family stand it? If you and your father are put in prison, how will I live? !” As he said, he covered his face and began to cry. [

"It's a big day, what's the funeral?" Miao's father scolded Miao's mother impatiently, but Miao's mother's words still made him feel a little worried.

Miao Anping heard his eyeballs rolling wildly, and immediately had an idea, and said: "I'm afraid they won't sue the imperial court! If they sue the imperial court...the Song family wants to save face, using their family's elder as an example, we must Our family took out so much dowry. Our family thought that this was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, an honor from the gods. Although our family was weak, we still planned to find a way to make up the dowry. Unexpectedly, relatives and friends had borrowed it all. Collect this sum of money. If the Song family is willing, our family is willing to issue an IOU, and then slowly make up for Ansu's dowry. Tell me, if the emperor listens to what we say, will he reward you? One, 2 taels of silver for our family?"

Father Miao nodded happily.Zan said: "You still have a bright mind! We will discuss this with your uncle later. When your sister is married, with your sister's means, are you afraid that you will not be able to win over your brother-in-law? Since the British government bought it for your brother-in-law With such a large family fortune, what your sister leaks between her fingers will be enough for us to chew, and maybe you can make up for the missing silver. This is really a good idea!"

Miao Anping smiled triumphantly.

Mother Miao felt that something was wrong, and said in a low voice tremblingly: "But our family didn't borrow any money for An Su's marriage?"

Father Miao couldn't help kicking this spoiled old woman out, and said viciously: "Didn't our family borrow a lot of money from others before? When the time comes, just take out those IOUs."

Mother Miao really wanted to say that some of those IOUs were from two or three years ago, some were from these days, and those in these days can fool others into saying that they were borrowed for An Su.But two or three years ago, I didn't know where this marriage was, so how could I fool it?

But seeing Father Miao's resentment, she swallowed the words again.

Father Miao obviously thought of this too, and told his son: "Go and exchange those IOUs right now. It is said that the interest will be recalculated, so as not to 'show' your flaws.

Miao Anping answered "Yes", and left the wing room with his father one after the other.

Mother Miao had no choice but to follow her husband and son out the door.

The eldest aunt of the Miao family, who was sitting with Mrs. Song San at the entrance of the women's table, was secretly puzzled when she received the letter.

Last year, my younger brother came to her house to borrow 50 taels of silver from her. How could he have money when he married his daughter?Could it be that he deliberately hit her in the autumn wind?

Thinking of this made her very unhappy.But in front of Mrs. Song San, he still forced a smile and said: "After all, it is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and it has been delayed for a long time. It is inevitable that there is a suspicion of neglect. According to Mrs. Song San, the man picks the woman One end—our Miao family offered 2 taels of silver to marry their daughter. As for the wedding date, after the banquet is over, I will ask a few matchmakers to choose a few auspicious dates. Then I will ask the Duke to set one."

This engagement date has always been a day chosen by the man and set by the woman.The Miao family is completely upside down.It was just to settle the marriage as soon as possible and get the bride price from the British government as soon as possible.

Mrs. Song San laughed angrily.

If the Miao family offered a dowry of 2 taels of silver, then the Song family would get a dowry of 4 taels of silver. Based on this calculation, the Miao family also earned 2 taels of silver.

She couldn't help sneering: "When the eldest son of our family got married, he only prepared a dowry of 20 silver. The second master is the younger brother, and there is absolutely no reason to surpass the elder brother who is the eldest son. Aren't you afraid of the aunt at home?" In terms of power, Mrs. Shizi is the legitimate daughter of the Dou family in Beilou; in terms of wealth, Mrs. Shizi's dowry plus the two silver bills brought a dowry of [-] taels of silver to the door .”

If the eldest aunt of the Miao family hadn't been eloquent, it would not be her turn to be the Quanfu person. [

She smiled lightly and said, "Why are the words of the third wife of the Song family like the sky in June? They change as they say, and they are not accurate? But you have all the truth. How do you let our family sit down and talk to your family?" Marriage? Don’t forget, your second master is not the son of the world! If the second master of your family is like the son of the world, if you are like the son of the world, and you are in power at a young age, even if our family sells land, we would like to The Dou family doesn't talk about the bride price like that, and spends a lot of money to marry their daughter. Since the second master of your family is not the master of your family's family, don't compare our sixth lady with your family's wife. Anyway, it is our Miao The family has already decided to give [-] taels of silver to marry their daughter. As for your family, let alone you and I are just Quanfu people, even if you are the child's biological parents, you have to discuss with the elders in the family? I see, will it work? , you'd better go back to the mansion and talk to the Duke of the country before expressing this attitude, and it's not too late to make this decision!"

Mrs. Song San was trembling with anger, but she had nothing to say.

Grandpa Guo has always had a good face in his actions. In order to flatter the royal family, he might really agree to this matter.

If I refuse with all my heart, maybe I will be a human being on both sides!

She wished she could slap herself twice.

The matter that Mrs. Song is hiding, why should I show the limelight!

Mrs. Song San had no choice but to grit her teeth and say "yes", and went back to the British government.

Song Yichun was furious when he heard this, and with blue veins on his forehead, he said, "Where are they marrying their daughter? They are clearly selling their daughter! Why did I end up with such a rotten product?" Then he called Song Han over, and said, "After you Take good care of your daughter-in-law, don't let her go out if she has nothing to do after you get married, I don't want to deal with these muds from the Miao family every day!"

Song Han was ashamed and ashamed.His face flushed red.

Song Yichun said to Mrs. Song San: "Tian En's marriage cannot pass over Song Mo. After all, Song Mo is the heir of the British government." He pondered for a while, and said, "But I can't wrong Tian En. For the wedding, take 2 taels of silver as the bride price."

Sure enough, I agreed!

Mrs. Song San secretly thanked herself for not insisting, and was relieved.

Song Han knelt down in front of Song Yichun, and said gratefully: "Thank you, father! I will definitely listen to your words in the future, so that I can keep my daughter-in-law under control. I won't let her embarrass the British government."

Song Yichun felt better now.

He said "hmm", nodded and served the tea.

※※※※※

Dou Zhao just smiled slightly.

Since Song Mo said that when the Miao family married in, he would let Song Han open the mansion alone, and he would definitely let Song Han open the mansion alone.She and the Miao family don't have to eat in the same pot. What kind of person she is and what plans the Miao family has has nothing to do with her.She was worried about Brother Yuan these days.It's only been a month and a half, and when the little boy opened his eyes, he didn't want to lie on the bed anymore, he had to be held upright with his head up.

Dou Shiying and Song Mo kept praising Brother Yuan for being smart, but Dou Zhao thought it was a sign of naughtiness.

It was late in the blink of an eye, and the Song and Miao families set Song Han's wedding day on the second day of September, and the wedding room was set up in the Green Bamboo Pavilion next to the Xixiangyuan.

fair enough.

Apart from paying respects to Song Yichun, the two sisters-in-law probably would have had a hard time meeting each other.It also saves a lot of trouble. [

Dou Zhao decided to return home.

Song Mo said: "The house is being powdered for Song Han at home, be careful that the smell is tainting the child. It won't be too late for you to go back a few days before Song Han gets married."

He envied the excitement of Jiang's family since he was a child. Although Jing'an Temple Hutong is not as lively as Dingguo's mansion, Dou Shiying's sincere care makes people feel warm.He likes this atmosphere very much and wants to stay here for a few more days.

Dou Zhao chuckled, vaguely guessing what he was thinking, so naturally he would not insist.He obeyed Song Mo's arrangement.

When Song Mo went to the Yamen, she asked Ganlu: "Why is there no news from Aunt Cui's Grandma?"

She was afraid that her grandmother would worry.She only said that she was pregnant, but she didn't tell her grandmother. When the child landed safely and smoothly, she sent Chen Xiaofeng to announce the good news to her grandmother. Take the child to visit her old man.

The grandmother was very happy, and besides asking Chen Xiaofeng to bring back a longevity lock, she also brought a lot of children's clothes, shoes and socks.From the folds of the clothes, it can be seen that these things were prepared by the grandmother a long time ago.

During her confinement period, she couldn't do needlework, so she asked the sewing room to make some autumn clothes for her grandmother, and Chen Xiaofeng brought them back to Zhending.

Counting the days, Chen Xiaofeng should be back in the middle of this month, but there is no sign of him so far, and there is no letter from his grandmother.

Ganlu smiled and comforted her: "Maybe Aunt Cui made you some delicious food, some things are not ready yet, so it doesn't matter if Guard Chen waited at home for a few more days. "

It's possible.

Dou Zhao nodded.

When she and Song Mo just got married, they wrote a letter of safety for Chen Xiaofeng to bring to Aunt Cui.Aunt Cui's "Grandma" pickled a lot of vegetables she liked and asked Chen Xiaofeng to bring them back, because Chen Xiaofeng had to wait for those pickled vegetables to go to the jar, so Chen Xiaofeng stayed in Zhending for an extra half a month.

Dou Zhao changed his mind and put the matter aside.

But news came from the British government.

It is said that the Song family went to urge makeup, and the lacquered bed that the Miao family hired when they were hired was replaced by a canopy bed, the pineapple furniture was replaced by pine furniture, and the tea cups and dishes made of red porcelain were replaced by blue and white porcelain... The Song family The people who went to carry the dowry had a big fight with the Miao family, and the onlookers were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

The Miao family is a dead dog who is not afraid of hot water, and would rather go to the imperial court to file a lawsuit than pay for the dowry.

Song Han, who went with him, was so ashamed that he covered half of his face, pulled Mrs. Song San out, and carried the dowry back to the British government.
