The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 801 813: Now it's lively

Speaking of her biological mother, there is another story here.

When the old Marquis of Lin'an was around, the Marquis of Lin'an owed a huge gambling debt, which was 20 taels of silver.

At that time, in order to repay the debt, all the silver in the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion was only enough to make up 10 taels, which was still 10 taels short.

In order to fill this hole and keep the whole family safe, the current Marquis of Lin'an married Lu Ping, the daughter of the Lu family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Lu family not only took out 10 taels of silver to fill the hole in the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion, but also gave their daughter a very rich dowry.In order not to attract attention, it was said to be a dowry of 120 units, but in fact the number was much larger than this.

It's a pity that Lu Ping was unlucky. She only gave birth to a daughter, and it didn't take long for her to contract a serious disease and die.

After the death of their daughter, the Lu family wanted to take Xu Min back to Jiangnan, but Mrs. Tai disagreed.After all, the child's surname is Xu, and the Lu family couldn't take it away by force, but the two families had a very unpleasant quarrel.

What's more, the Marquis of Lin'an quickly reunited, and the stepmother entered the door, and the relationship with the Lu family became even weaker.

Back then, the Marquis of Lin'an was only the son of the Marquis of Lin'an. Even so, he still looked down on the Lu family, the family of merchants, from the bottom of his heart.Marrying Lu Ping back then was just a helpless move, and he didn't take it seriously when he was gone.What's more, he gave birth to a daughter again, and he was actually relieved. If he gave birth to a son and occupied the position of the eldest son, he would inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Regarding the matter here, it is not easy for Madam Tai to tell Xu Min about her father's infidelity.After all, it was her own son, and she really couldn't say it out loud, so when she looked at her son and didn't protect Xu Min, did she feel ashamed of the Lu family, her daughter-in-law, and her granddaughter? In order to protect her, she did this Gritting his teeth, he returned home.

After so many years, it still seems like a dream when I think about it now.

Hearing Xu Min mention her mother's dowry, the old Madam Lin'an knew that this matter could not be resolved.

What a debt.

Back then, the Lu family's dowry to Lu Ping was too generous. With such a sum of money, not to mention the envious daughter-in-law, even her son was jealous.

Where did the money go, Xu Min didn't know, but she did.

I'm afraid it's impossible to come back completely.

However, now Xu Min's status is unusual, she is the future grand concubine, if she really insists on her mother's dowry, the whole family will be turned upside down.

If there is a real commotion and the palace is alarmed, whether it is good or bad, who can guarantee whether this marriage can be kept?

The old Madam Lin'an Hou's mind was constantly spinning. Looking at Xu Min's trusting eyes, she showed a kind smile, patted her hand, and said: "Grandmother called your stepmother to ask, you From now on, you will be the eldest concubine, and the family will never lose you."

Xu Min's heart sank when he heard this, but he didn't show it at all, and said with a faint smile: "Yes, granddaughter listens to grandma."

Seeing Xu Min like this, the old Madam Lin'an felt even more guilty.

After coming out from the grandmother, he went back to his yard, let Suzhi go out to guard the door, and left Suyun by his side to talk, "Have you found out everything?"

Suyun and Suzhi grew up with their girls, and they couldn't be more loyal, so they hurriedly said: "I found out clearly, the girl guessed right, half of your dowry is in the hands of the madam, and half is in the hands of the marquis." .”

The expression on Xu Min's face became colder and colder. After a while, there was a gleam in the eyes of Jianshui, and he said softly: "That's my own father, who also calculated my things like this. In this house, apart from grandma, there are many Who can be trusted? But, even grandma may not be reliable now."

After all, her father is the son of the grandmother, and it is hard to say which side the son and granddaughter stand on.

Suyun's eyes were almost red when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Whoever eats the girl's food will spit it out."Back then, if the wife hadn't married in, how could there be the wealth and splendor of the Marquis of Lin'an. "

"What's the use?" Xu Min sighed softly, showing a sarcasm smile, "Sometimes I even wonder if there is something strange about her death. I know grandma won't lie to me, mother It is true that he died of illness, but looking at this family, I still can't help but think about it."

"Girl, you will get better in the future. You will be the eldest concubine in the future. Everyone in this family will act according to your face. You can always be proud." Suyun knelt beside the girl, holding her hand. hand said.

Xu Min sighed softly, that's not necessarily the case.

Married into the royal family, her eyes were darkened, and she didn't know how to live the best life in the future.

However, he didn't want to be discovered by such a weak side, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it will get better in the future, and it will get better and better."

Suyun just laughed, and from now on, let those dogs who look down on people look at the beauty of their girls.

Xu Min passed the words to her grandmother. Of course, the grandmother told the family about the dowry, and she just waited for the news.

Soon, Suzhi came in and said, "Girl, the old lady invited Mrs. Hou to talk."

Grandma loves her dearly, Xu Min heaves a sigh of relief, the only person she is attached to in this family is her grandmother.

When Suzhi inquired again and said that Mrs. Hou left Mrs. Tai's yard with a dark face, Xu Min knew that there was going to be trouble in this house.

After all, her mother's dowry was too much, and it would be a pain in the ass to make them spit it out with interest.

***
Yun Ran didn't know about the affairs of the Marquis of Lin'an, but she just thought that Xu Min was a nice girl, and she had some sympathy with her, so she felt a little more pity for her, and less consideration for other things.

After Sikong Musheng told the Marquis of Lin'an, within a few days, he formally decreed the marriage.

With the decree, the matter is settled.

The inner court mansion is busy, and the three letters and six ceremonies must be prepared quickly.

The imperial decree bestows marriage, so it should be a door-to-door marriage proposal.

This procedure can be saved, and the next step is to send the two people's horoscope to Qin Tianjian to predict good and bad luck, which is commonly known as the combined horoscope.

Although Yun Ran didn't fully believe it, but the news sent by Qin Tianjian, saying that Mu Yi and Xu Min's fortune was auspicious, still couldn't help but feel happy, thinking it was a good sign.

Then, let the inner court prepare gifts, and let Mrs. Xu and the Ministry of Rites take Mu Yi to the Marquis of Lin'an to perform the Najib ceremony.

Mrs. Xu Er is the queen's aunt. Although she is far away, the relationship between the queen and Mrs. Xu has always been close. It can be seen that she is very important as a matchmaker.He also invited the Minister of Rites to run on his behalf, which meant that he valued this marriage even more.

Now, even if the Marquis of Lin'an was a little cautious, thinking that the emperor and empress could not place too much importance on the eldest prince's marriage, now they dare not think wildly.
