It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 386

"Hey." Mrs. Li was very happy, and helped the child up with her own hands, but she didn't prepare a meeting gift, so she simply took off a red emerald beaded hairpin from her head and said to the third sister, "This is a meeting gift for you, keep it Bar."

The third sister looked back at her mother, saw her nodding her head, received it in her arms, and said, "Thank you, auntie."

The third sister is very beautiful, with fair skin, big watery eyes, medium build, neither fat nor thin, wearing a hibiscus-colored plain beanie, a simple conch temple on her head, and pomegranate red The silk flowers with pearl cores look elegant and clean, very lovely. Mrs. Li likes it more and more, holding her hand and asking for a long time, such as what books do you read on weekdays, what do you like to do, how are female celebrities, third sister Although a little shy, she also answered one by one, and Li Shi seemed to like it more and more.

Waiting for Qian Siming to come over, she naturally took her cousin to play in her boudoir. There were only two sisters of the Dali family left in the hall. The two were siblings from the same mother. They lived in the same yard before they got married, so they were naturally relatively close. I haven't seen her for many years, and naturally I have a lot to say. Da Li came here in the morning, and it was already evening when he was waiting to leave. If Da Li didn't live far away, Xiao Li would almost have asked his sister to stay.

When she was waiting to send Da Li to go out, she grabbed her younger sister's hand, showed a embarrassed look, and said, "I don't want to leave this matter to you, but you also know that I just arrived in the capital, and I don't know anyone around me." It’s not like you. Now it’s Mrs. Hanlin, and the people I know are all government wives. Hey... It’s also my third sister who has a hard life. I thought that the other party is also a simple and honest family. He died of illness at the age of [-], so the marriage was blown up. It was just a verbal agreement at the beginning, but I don’t know who said it. It said that our third sister had already made an appointment with the third young master of Fang’s family. The rumors are terrible, and I am worried I didn’t fall asleep for several days and nights, and after I discussed with his father, most of my family’s property is now in Kyoto, so I just moved to Kyoto.”

Xiao Li showed some sympathy, thinking how sad she would be if this was her own daughter, and said, "Don't worry, I think the third sister is the best, and she will definitely find a good marriage. .”

"You don't need to comfort me, we are a merchant, how can we compare with officials like you." Da Li worried when he thought about it, looked at his sister carefully, and said, "Sister, I don't know what to say Improper speaking."

Xiao Li felt that there was something in her sister's words, but she thought she was asking for something, thinking that as long as it was not too much, she would help, and said, "Sister, there is nothing we can't say in front of you, our sisters are more than ten years old. I haven't seen you for a year, but if I can help, I will naturally help you."

When Da Li heard this, tears fell down, and he held his younger sister's hand tightly and said, "I only have a daughter like the third sister in my life, and all I want is to hope that she can marry a family." Good man, don't hide my sister, her father and I have discussed it, and her dowry is this amount." After speaking, she stretched out five fingers.

Xiao Li thought to herself that 500 taels would be enough for most people to marry their daughters, but since Da Li said this on purpose, naturally it was not just this amount, and said, "Sister is going to spend 5000 taels?"

Da Li showed a somewhat smug expression, shook his head, and said, "It's 5 taels."

Xiao Li almost fainted, this is really a huge sum, it seems that her sister's family is indeed rich, and she really risked everything for her little daughter.
