incense as a medium

Chapter 48
Ying Mo was extremely upset during this time, because she was being targeted.

That person was Zeng Jin from Luhuang County. Ying Da was overjoyed by the sudden overtures of this gang leader from Luhuang County, but Ying Mo guessed that Zeng Jin must be Liu Bailu because Zeng Jin specified that he wanted to marry him. instigation!

It's really stealing chickens without losing money!
Ying Mo tried his best and couldn't persuade his father to reject the marriage, so he had no choice but to let his father insist that Zeng Jin marry him.

Businessman Ying Da is not a fool. If his daughter married a concubine, she would be sold by the mistress at any time.What about Zeng Jin?He has dominated Luhuang County for a period of time, even though it only has three-quarters of the territory - he has already regarded his wife's natal family's territory as his own.

Isn't it common for a person like myself to go out to have fun?
However, the family member was so jealous that Zeng Jin wanted to change his wife, so he hit it off with Ying Da merchant.

Zeng Jin wants to divorce his wife, will the Lu family agree?

So the two families had a quarrel, which gave Ying Mo some time to breathe.

And during this time, Qi Peiyun didn't know what he was busy with. He stayed in Luhuang County all day long, so Ying Mo didn't dare to go to the wolf den, so he went to Qi's house to report every day.

This day, she searched some supplements from home and brought them to Qi's house. When she saw the various gift boxes Qi Ding kept on the table, she asked with a smile, "Auntie, who is this gift for? It's so rich."

The corner of Qi Ding's mouth pulled down, and he said: "The ceremony for the Liu family is after all in-laws, and this ceremony cannot be neglected."

Sensing Qi Ding's displeasure, Ying Mo's eyes flickered, and he moved to Qi Ding's side and said coquettishly, "Auntie, when will Big Brother Qi come back to give the gift?"

Qi Ding stretched out his index finger and tapped Ying Mo's forehead, and said with an annoyed smile, "You know you are Brother Qi."

"Auntie..." Ying Mo put her arm around Qi Ding's arm coquettishly, "You are the future mother-in-law of Miss Liu's family, why can't you go to give the gift? How can you not wait for Big Brother Qi to come back?"

Qi Ding cast her a glance, and said: "You look at me, don't you know? Have you been forced to marry recently?"

This matter is not a secret, almost the entire border towns know that Miss Ying's family was forced into marriage by Zeng Jin, the underground overlord of Luhuang County.

Ying Mo was not happy when he heard this, and sat down on the side with his mouth pouted, and said: "Aunt, it's better not to mention this matter. I'm getting bored to death. I like Brother Qi, not that martial artist. I just like him." My father wants me to marry, so what if I'm a gang leader? I don't want someone who is so good/sex/fancy/heart."

Qi Ding looked at Ying Mo, her eyes flickered slightly, she shook her head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about, you were proposed by Zeng Jin in the front foot, and Pei Yun got stuck in Luhuang County in the back foot, and his friends couldn't get out. They all followed, don't you know what they are going to do?"

"I don't know." Ying Mo was puzzled.

He didn't fully know about Qi Peiyun and Zeng Jin's affairs, but only knew that there was cooperation between them. Isn't he talking about cooperation with Zeng Jin now?

Hey, what a great opportunity last time, but unfortunately it failed. Otherwise, Big Brother Qi disliked Liu Bailu and he just made up for it. How good?
Qi Ding's eyes rolled, and he started talking nonsense: "You and your big brother Qi grew up together. I can see where the love is, and I remember it in my heart. You were forced to marry by Zeng Jin this time. You How could brother Qi have the heart to let you jump into that pit of fire? You know your brother Qi’s ability, how many rangers have you integrated in Yongkang Pass? This time he went to Luhuang County and took away those rangers, presumably to kill them Don't jump into that fire pit."

"Really?" Ying Mo's eyes lit up, and he asked in disbelief.

"That's natural," Qi Ding nodded, and then he became embarrassed again, his eyes flickered and said: "My own son knows it well, and I know everything about what he thinks. It's just that now that the girl from the Liu family has been appointed, you will have to be low when you enter the door. She has one head. But I think you can enter the door together in the future, regardless of size."

"Why! She is guilty..." The word "criminal" almost blurted out, but Ying Mo stopped abruptly. The Qi family is also a criminal. She coughed and said: "In addition to her looks She looks better than me, how can she be better than me? I live in such a crappy place, what help can I get married to Big Brother Qi? My father said at the beginning that it would cost 5000 taels of silver to buy me a dowry! I will support you in the future Brother Qi... hey..."

At the end, Ying Mo remembered that he was still forced into marriage by Zeng Jin, and couldn't help sighing: "It's useless to say anything now."

"5000 taels?" The corners of Qi Ding's mouth twitched, this figure is not even a fraction of her dowry, but now, today is different.Qi Dingshi suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "5000 taels is a big amount, but I don't know what to buy."

There is a shortage of materials here, especially fine silk and satin, jewellery, wood and fine craftsmen.

The big businessman Ying specializes in the business of the blond and blue-eyed people in the west. He spends half a year traveling from the Tatar Ministry to the west. Some weird stuff.

In Qi Ding's view, those things are certainly rare, but they are not as profound as those antique calligraphy and paintings.

Ying Mo said triumphantly: "Father specially prepared for me four pieces of cloud brocade, ten pieces of Shu brocade, five pieces of Song brocade, two Suzhou embroidery screens, two Hetian jade hairpins, a pair of jasper bracelets, by the way, and A box of leather of various colors..."

Ying Mo listed more than a dozen kinds of precious jewelry, and finally said: "Father will give me two shops."

Qi Ding shook his head secretly, without saying a word, leather is precious in the capital, but it can be seen everywhere in this pass, not worth a few dollars.

This kind of attitude made Ying Mo feel a little nervous, this is his future mother-in-law, her opinion is very important!Ying Mo asked cautiously: "But what's wrong?"

Qi Ding smiled lightly and said: "It is extremely rich, but... that girl of the Liu family also has a lot of dowry, you will not be able to hold your head up in front of her like this. I can decide to make you an ordinary wife, but if you don't live up to it, In the future, there will be a part of the dwarves for no reason."

"Didn't her house be ransacked? What good things can there be!" Ying Mo said unconvinced.

Qi Ding got up and went into the inner room. Qi Zhen, who was disturbed by the movement outside, turned over and looked at Qi Ding with a frown: "What are you doing?"

Qi Dingshi drooped the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry about it."

Qi Zhen said with a cold face: "I defended you before, don't be ignorant! If you dare to wrong Bailu, I will definitely not let you go!"

"Don't worry!" Qi Ding smiled coldly, turned around and went out with a box in her arms. When she saw Ying Mo, she was like a spring breeze: "This is the Liu family's dowry list, take a look."

What good can there be?Ying Mo opened the box nonchalantly, took out the palm-sized booklet, and froze as soon as he opened it.

This dowry list has more than 20 pages, and the previous catalog alone has as many as four pages, which are: furniture, decorations, books, clothes, jewelry, and fabrics.

These are general classifications, and there are various subdivisions below, such as tables, chairs, benches, screens and other items in the furniture, as well as pots and pans.There are all kinds of things subdivided into the furnishings, and there are always hundreds of them.

Although things such as decorations are common, the occasional items such as "Ru Kiln Azure Glazed Bottle", "Ge Kiln Celadon Glazed Sunflower Flap Plate", "Official Kiln White Porcelain Tea Set" etc. Things that cannot be bought in dozens of towns around.

As for the fabric, there are ten bolts of palace satin in each color and pattern. Such a general calculation made Ying Mo stare straight at the eyes, not to mention the clothes, just a set of filigree ruby ​​headdress completely defeated all her jewelry.

Not to mention the final press box of 2000 taels of silver.

Seeing this, Ying Mo didn't know what to say: "Here, how much money does this cost... Isn't the Liu family's house ransacked?"

Qi Ding put away the dowry list casually, and said: "What is this? There are many things that are too eye-catching and have not been written. I think there will be more money at the bottom of the box. When I got married back then Well, my mother gave me all the things I had saved all my life. Among other things, she gave me 6 taels of silver at the bottom of the box, and secretly gave me 3 taels of silver. If it wasn't for the ransacking of the house... "

Qi Ding sighed, Ying Mo couldn't say a word, so shocked!There is so much silver at the bottom of the box!This is worth half of his father's net worth!

Looking at Ying Mo's face, Qi Ding was extremely proud. Can this move make Ying Mo's dowry more than 1 taels?
"Impossible..." Ying Mo murmured, not knowing if he was talking about the impossibility of Qi Ding's nearly 10 taels of silver in the box or the impossibility of Liu Bailu's dowry.

"What's impossible?"

The sudden voice startled Ying Mo, she turned her head to look, but she didn't know when she left Qi's house, and started talking to herself on the street, but it was Kang Yibang who asked the question, she hurriedly saluted: " I met General Kang."

Kang Yibang nodded and said, "Where is Brother Qi now?"

correct!Qi Peiyun is in Luhuang County to help him eliminate his worries!

Ying Mo's eyes lit up, and the previous depression was wiped away, and he said cheerfully, "Brother Qi is in Luhuang County."

"Oh?" Kang Yibang raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was an almost undetectable flash of eagerness in his eyes. Before he was about to leave, he looked up at the direction Ying Mo came from, and asked, "Are you from the Qi family?"

"Yeah." Ying Mo nodded and didn't care about Kang Yibang's condescending look on his horse.

Kang Yibang asked: "What did you just say is impossible?"

Ying Mo didn't want to say it, but when he thought that Kang Yibang was considered a nobleman and came from a famous family, he should know about these things, so he said all the conversations with Qi Ding's, and finally asked: "The woman in Jingli Is there so much dowry for getting married?"

If Ying Mo's dowry was also written in such a booklet, it would only be a few pages, why are there so many things?
The new daughter-in-law is thinking of marrying a flat wife for her son before she enters the house?It seems that Qi Ding doesn't like willows and egrets.

Kang Yibang suddenly realized this, and he jumped off the horse, who didn't plan to tell Ying Moduo, and said: "There are big rules in Beijing, among other things, after a year, the home furnishings must be changed at least four times according to the seasons. , so Miss Liu's dowry is not too much, it can only be barely enough."

"So troublesome?" Ying Mo didn't understand, although the things in her boudoir were often changed, it was because she didn't like the arrangement, so she had to change, but she didn't know that it was so cumbersome to change according to the seasons.
