After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 42

The villagers of Lu's Village only knew that Lu Daxiong's unmarried daughter-in-law was from Jiangnan, and that there was also an elder brother who had won the favor of Master Juren, but they didn't know anything else.

It's not that they are ill-informed, it's that even Lu Laohan and the Wang family don't know the details of the Chen family, let alone other people?

Besides, it doesn't matter what the Chen family's family background is. In the eyes of these country people, there is a master Juren who is the eldest brother-in-law, which is already a golden thigh in Bashang.

As the wedding day approached, Chen Xinglou also received a reply letter from his father, and learned that his biological mother had been raised as an equal wife, and that the memorial tablet had been welcomed into the ancestral hall. He felt quite uncomfortable.

Ever since he was sensible, he had hoped that his mother would have a good status, and he also knew that his aunt's family background was prominent, and her status could not be easily shaken.

Now that the biological mother passed away a few years ago, but she was promoted as a flat wife, it was because the aunt was caught taking action against Xing'er, and this was exchanged for the title of mother.

But so what?
Thinking about it now, Chen Xinglou could understand his sister's choice.

Instead of marrying into a noble family and becoming a resentful woman who stays in the deep house, it is better to live a rural life without worrying about food and clothing in this small place with Lu Daxiong.

The more famous and aristocratic the family, the more hesitant and hesitant they are in doing things. There are too many things they have to worry about.

If you want to live a more free and easy life and be more comfortable, naturally it is the best choice to be like your sister and brother-in-law.

As soon as the people sent by Master Chen boarded the boat, they were followed by the old lady's people.

The old lady didn't mean anything else. Those things are used by women. She is old. What kind of jewelry has she never seen?No matter how strange it is, she still doesn't like it.

When the old lady learned that her son had forced out 2000 taels of silver from Mrs. Liu, she naturally couldn't just watch him use the money to help a worthless Chen Xingyan.

So, the old lady got back the 2000 taels of silver notes.

The servant was afraid, but he didn't dare to say anything. After all, he was the master, and the old lady was his master's mother. If nothing else, as long as the old lady said that she wanted her son to be filial, who would dare to say no?
The servant wanted to go back to report, but was threatened, so he gritted his teeth and walked to Gaoyang County.

Fortunately, the old lady's people were only ordered to take away the 2000 taels of bank notes, and the rest of the money remained untouched, otherwise, he would have committed suicide and apologized.

The person sent by Mr. Chen was Gaoyang County who followed Ah Zhong, and Ah Zhong naturally saw everything that happened on the way, and as soon as he saw the third young master, he kept talking about it.

Chen Xinglou frowned, never expecting that grandmother would be so cruel.

Father just wanted to give Xing'er a normal dowry, but grandmother refused?
"The people sent by grandma didn't say anything more?"

"Say it, Mrs. Tai confessed that the money will be reserved for your future marriage. All that Mrs. Lou left before her life will be used as a dowry for the young lady. She will not intervene. It's just that the young lady's marriage is not honorable, and it also makes the Chen family Losing face, it's better not to mention the Jiangnan Chen family in front of outsiders in the future."

Chen Xinglou laughed angrily!
"Okay, okay! I didn't know that Xing'er, a victim, has become a stain on the Chen family in the eyes of grandma! How unreasonable!"

Chen Xinglou's chest heaved a lot angrily, and Ah Zhong said, "Master, it's no wonder Mrs. Tai is angry. Madam is Mrs. Tai's niece. She naturally has to face Madam."

Mr. Chen also has a private treasury, but most of his books are ancient books of calligraphy and painting, and these things are usually left to his son.

If Chen Xingyan was married soon, Mr. Chen would naturally buy her a copy, but it's really inconvenient to travel from south to north.

The most important thing is that Chen Xingyan married a reckless man. If he really put these things into a dowry, the reckless man would suspect that his father-in-law disliked him because he was illiterate.

Master Chen just added 500 taels of silver to the box, and found a pair of pure gold bracelets and put them in.

So this time when things arrived in Gaoyang County, the original dowry silver of 3000 taels shrank to 1000 taels.

Of course, those two boxes of jewelry embroidery are worth a lot of money, but the problem is that Chen Xingyan can't sell them either!

It's all her biological mother's stuff, just some last thoughts.

Chen Xinglou told his sister about this matter, but Chen Xingyan was unexpectedly calm.

"Brother, I have already seen clearly what's going on in the Chen family. Brother is a gentleman, and he will also enter the court in the future. Don't let your ears be stained by this pickle."

Chen Xinglou sighed helplessly, at this moment he really hated himself for being useless.

"Brother, this is already good. At least I know that my brother loves me, and my father really loves me. If I am really wronged by Big Bear, there is someone I can rely on."

Chen Xinglou patted her head, "You have grown up and become sensible."

Chen Xingyan smiled, "Brother, you should pick out some of your mother's jewellery. When you marry your sister-in-law in the future, it will be a gift from our mother."

Chen Xinglou did not refuse, he knew what his sister meant.

"I'll keep it with you first, and when I really get married, I will have to let you take care of it."

Chen Xingyan was stunned for a moment, his words sounded so strange.

"Brother, don't you plan to get married in Jiangnan?"

"Hehe, I do already have someone I like, but let's wait a few years. If I can go to high school in the future, I will have the cheek to marry your sister-in-law."

Chen Xingyan blushed, "My brother is really not ashamed."

The brother and sister talked and laughed, and finally put their minds on the 1000 taels of silver.

"The jewelry in this box may not all belong to my mother. I heard Ah Zhong said that he saw his father opened a private treasury and picked out a lot of things from it. Since it is father's wish, you have to put it away." gone."

"Got it, brother."

"You marry here alone, as a brother, I really don't feel at ease. It may not be a good thing for you to keep the 1000 taels of silver. Lu Daxiong is reliable, but his blood relatives may not be reliable."

Chen Xingyan agreed with his words.

"Yesterday, I had a few cups of tea with the magistrate of Gaoyang County, and I have already asked him to help find one or two shops in a good location. You might as well just buy it and turn it into a property. It's better than holding a bank note. powerful."

"My brother is right, I will listen to my brother."

Chen Xinglou is very satisfied with his sister's dependence and has a sense of accomplishment.

To be needed and relied on by others is such an indescribable joy!
