It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 753
Seeing that Su Ying was eating happily, Ren Yanjun leaned forward and gently stroked Su Ying's protruding belly with his hands, and asked softly, "Is the child still making trouble with you recently?"

Su Ying smiled, "Maybe because I eat a lot of fruit recently, the children really seldom trouble me."

Ren Yanjun had a gentle face, "You're so good, I really hope it's a daughter..."

Su Ying, "I also hope it's a little padded jacket, but my eldest sister said that it's our fate to be a man or a woman, and we can't force it."

Ren Yanjun nodded, "I know, but I still hope to be a well-behaved daughter..."

Su Rui knelt on the ground with a dazed expression, and listened to the edict's father-in-law's long speech, and when he finished reading, he took the imperial edict with both hands, and was helped by Xi'er beside him.

The little father-in-law kindly reminded, "Princess, Your Majesty means that Prince An is not young, and Miss Su Si is also old enough to marry, so I hope they can get married as soon as possible."

Su Rui had a decent smile on her face, "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."

Then he glanced at Butler Wang, who tacitly handed over a red envelope with 50 taels of silver to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch smiled and took the tea money that Butler Wang had stuffed for him, "Princess, you are welcome, Fourth Miss Su is the Empress Dowager Empress and Empress Empress personally praised Hui Zhi Lan Xin, Zhong Ling Yuxiu, Xiuwai Huizhong, and Prince An's match made in heaven. "

Su Rui accepted the little father-in-law's compliment with a smile, but after the little father-in-law left, she had a headache.

Seeing that Su Rui's expression was not very happy, Xi'er asked tentatively, "Ma'am, Miss Fourth has a good marriage, are you unhappy?"

Su Rui said "ah", shook her head and said, "I didn't say I was unhappy, but I was a little worried."

Xi'er was puzzled, "Worried? Why are you worried?"

"Are you worried about the banquet? But didn't you say it when you passed the decree just now? All procedures are handled by the Ministry of Etiquette."

Su Rui shook her head, "No, I don't worry about it, I just..."

When she said that, Su Rui stopped. She was worried because the dowries she prepared for the three younger sisters were all a certain amount. The things couldn't be said to be exactly the same, but the money was about the same.

That dowry, even if Su Wan married into a son of a second or third rank minister's family, the dowry she prepared was top-notch.

However, if you marry into the prince, the dowry will not be very attractive. After all, the dowry of other princes and concubines is not a small amount...
It's not that she can't afford a better dowry, but if she doubles the dowry to Su Wan, what will happen to the other two younger sisters?She said at the beginning that the three younger sisters wanted to have a flat bowl of water... She couldn't favor one over another just because Su Wan married a prince!
"Ah..." Su Rui sat back on the chair and rubbed her temples with a headache.

Xi'er and Xiao Qiu looked at each other, Madam didn't say anything, and they didn't know what Madam was bothering about.

When Meng Mingzhou came home at night, he didn't see Su Rui who came to greet him. He thought that Su Rui was not feeling well, so he didn't go to see Meng Tao and the others. He went back to the main courtyard first. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Su Rui hugging her. A few treasure boxes, counting the banknotes and various deeds inside.

"Ruier."

Su Rui raised her head and looked at Meng Mingzhou, "Mingzhou, you're back..."

Meng Mingzhou approached Su Rui, "What's wrong with you?"

Su Rui talked about the decree delivered in the palace today, and also said that the dowry prepared for Su Wan was no longer suitable, and finally looked at Meng Mingzhou with a hesitant expression.

"What do you say now?"

"I said before that I want to be fair to my younger siblings, so if I double the dowry for Wan'er, then I will also make up for the other younger siblings."

"Do you have enough money at home?"

Meng Mingzhou has no opinion on this.

Su Rui pushed the box containing the large-amount banknotes to the opposite side of Meng Mingzhou, "Chen Rui and Ming Xu's income after they got married is here, more than 12 taels."

Meng Mingzhou didn't look at it, but asked, "How do you plan to make it up?"

Su Rui thought for a while and said, "I thought about adding 2 taels to Wan'er's original dowry, and then Qiaoer, Yinger, Chen Rui, and Mingxu would also give them 2 taels each, but they are different from Wan'er. I want to buy Wan'er's 2 taels into an estate, while Chen Rui and the others will give the bank notes directly, and I don't care what they want to do with it..."

Meng Mingzhou rubbed his chin, nodded slightly, "Yes, they are only 10 taels together, and there are 2 taels at home."

Su Rui rolled her eyes, "What can I do? Don't you know how old Chen Nan is? I'm going to start seeing his wife after the Chinese New Year, and we have four children who are getting older every year. One year old, so are Nan Yu and Nanfang, since they are raised, the siblings will also be given a dowry and bride price when they get married."

Meng Mingzhou coughed uncomfortably, "What is the wife thinking now?"

Su Rui looked at Xi'er and Xiaoqiu guarding the door, leaned closer to Meng Mingzhou and said, "Tell me, should I sell another batch of ginseng and fruits in my space?"

Yes, she was anxious when she saw that there was only 12 taels of silver bills at home. While taking a nap, she secretly entered the space to ripen a lot of fruits and ginseng.

She thought about relying on the shop at home. Although the business was good, it was too slow to return a large amount of funds. It was better to sell another batch of fruits and ginseng. It just so happened that the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the fruits in the south of Yuncheng were very expensive.

Meng Mingzhou had no objection, "Sure, but who are you looking for to sell?"

Last year it was because of the acquisition by merchants under His Majesty, but this year there is no more.

Su Rui smiled slyly, "I'm going to find Second Uncle Song. Their Song family is the biggest merchant in our Yuncheng. Since they all want to cooperate, it's better to find someone with a good relationship."

"Okay, do you want to talk to Uncle Song?"

Meng Mingzhou didn't expect that Su Rui would look for Second Uncle Song, but after thinking about it deeply, he can figure out why Su Rui wanted to look for him. The Song family has been in business for generations, but their family's status in Yuncheng is not as high as that of the first-rank ministers in the court. status.

After all, it was rumored that if the city had a price tag, let alone half of the city in the entire Yun Dynasty, the Song family could easily buy it.

Whether it is true or not, all he knows is that the Song family's money is enough to make the court fearful, because their Song family has never thought of rebellion or anything, otherwise the Yun Dynasty would have changed its name and surname long ago.

It's just that he has been unable to figure out why the Song family is so powerful and wealthy, and the royal family is really afraid, but why the royal family and the Song family can still coexist peacefully.

When Grandpa knew he was puzzled, he just said lightly that the Song family had a secret to restrain the royal family hundreds of years ago. As for what it was, no one knew.
