Chapter 9 West Wind Cuts Plantains Overnight 9
The story of Mama Ren spread quickly throughout the Hou Mansion the next day. The eldest lady was frightened and sent Mama Ren to Zhuangzi to be a rough harvester, saying that she had bad conduct and that the person who served the girl was wrong. She can't commit any crimes. Such a slave didn't kill her, it was the kindness of the Hou Fu.The eldest lady is in charge of the general affairs in the Hou's mansion. This mother Ren was originally sent by the second lady. Madam smiled and said to her: "Second brother and sister came just in time, I have something to tell you, Ruiling and Ruiyan are about to get married, the dowry should have been prepared long ago. Master Hou means to let me Quickly sort out this matter. The two children's marriage is in such a hurry. Since I, the eldest aunt, is in charge of the middle class in the mansion, I can't let them not even have a decent dowry because of the hasty wedding. Let the Hou Mansion marry a daughter They are all the same regulations, and the dowry of the two children is placed with the second sister, so let's propose to make a book."

The second lady has a thin face, slack eyebrows, and a mean look on her face.It turns out that the second lady also has a kind face, and she has become thinner in the past few years, and she looks a bit mean when she has no flesh on her face.At this time, when I heard the words of the eldest lady, my heart skipped a beat, but there was a smile on my face, and I said slowly: "The dowries of the girls in the second room are all handed over by the second room, what does the sister-in-law mean?"

"Look, you're thinking too much. This is what I meant, but Lord Hou. It is said that the Yuan family has prepared a lot of dowry gifts, and the Hou family is not good. The dowry is too shabby than the dowry gift, so Master Hou let me take care of it." For one reason, prepare the booklet first, and then look at the additions and subtractions, the face of the Hou Mansion is the most important thing. Don't worry, the second sibling, even if you really add anything, it will be done by the public." The eldest lady smiled affectionately.

"There are rules for married girls. If Ruiling has more sisters than other sisters, what will the other children think?" The second lady was so angry that she wanted to add a dowry to that bitch's daughter. No way!

This is also reasonable, there are rules for everything, so the second wife is not afraid.

The eldest lady had long expected that the second lady would not give up, so she said softly with half-downcast eyelids: "That can't be helped, anyone who lets the fourth girl in will be a mother, and she will be her successor, and the dowry is not much." I can't stand up straight."

Such a heart-pounding sentence hit the second lady's heart, liver and lungs all at once, her face turned red and then white with anger, and then turned pale and green. Knowing that there was no way to turn this matter around today, she had to grit her teeth and say: " Sister-in-law is really a bodhisattva with a heart that no one else can match, she is the best aunt in the world!"

"It's just based on one's heart. The grievances between adults, why bother to implicate the children."

The second lady flung her sleeves and left, her eyes were red when she left the door, she thought bitterly in her heart, why didn't she get exposed to a slut like Aunt Gong Liu in the first place!
The eldest lady had spoken, and the second lady naturally didn't dare to confront her openly. No matter how reluctant she was, the dowries of the fourth and fifth girls were settled very quickly.The yard was full of boxes and cages. Mama Yang next to the eldest lady was holding the list and Mama Wang was checking the booklet with Madam Wang next to the second lady. Except for the voices of the two, the whole yard was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

It was only a short day's work, the news that the eldest lady wanted to subsidize the dowry of the fourth girl was rumored, and Ruiyi naturally also received the rumors.According to the temperament of the eldest lady, since the fourth girl is generous, she will definitely not spare the fifth girl. Now the dowry of the two sisters can be thicker. The husband's family is not very good, and there is always a dowry to support her life. Emboldened.
