stormy clouds

In the past few days, Chang Pu's heart has been alternately happy and worried.

Chang Luoyun and Mu Jingyi's marriage is settled, it is a happy event, but what kind of dowry, how to draw up the dowry list, is enough for him to embarrass.

Without the head mistress, Chang Pu had no choice but to ask the Jiang family to help.

The Jiang family did not expect that the Chang family's second bedroom had reached this stage. It looked like a huge family property, but inside it was empty, and there were many holes waiting to be filled.

When Jiang went back and talked to Chang Kuan, both of them sighed.Back then, when Mrs. Han was here, the Chang family was expanding their yard and buying a Zhuangzi. Their days were prosperous and enviable. How could they have given Pei's hands a few years of hard work, and they even paid for their daughter's dowry? not coming out.

Feeling emotional, Chang Kuan sighed when he saw Chang Pu was helpless, and said, "Forget it, let's assume that we have an extra biological daughter, and you take half of the dowry you prepared for Xia'er. Anyway, Xia'er is not engaged yet. It’s time to figure it out.”

Although Jiang Shi was also reluctant, but thinking of Han Shi's love, he readily agreed.

When Mrs. Jiang told Chang Pu in the past, Chang Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, when I get over this, I will definitely make it up for Xia'er."

"Second brother, don't talk about the family, Yun'er and Xia'er are all girls from the Chang family, it's the same for everyone."

Jiang said: "It's just that Yun'er married to the Hou's mansion after all. If she married an ordinary family, the dowry would be barely enough. It's just that she married into the Hou's mansion. After all, it's less."

Chang Pu took the list and read it again carefully, and said with a sad expression, "I went to the warehouse to look again yesterday, and all the valuable things were almost treated, but there was still a piece of Han's embroidery left. This is still the autumn mark. It’s probably not worth anything to send it back.”

Jiang sighed and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not, it's right that her mother's embroidery can be taken for a thought, so I'll add it to the list."

Chang Pu nodded, "If it really doesn't work, sell the yard we bought later! Now it's just me and Yun'er at home, and we can't live in such a big yard. If we keep it, it would be a waste of two people to take care of it. .”

"Don't think that way, second brother." Jiang advised, "No matter how you say it, it's not enough to sell the house and land to marry your daughter. Don't worry, wait until I send the list to Yun'er to read and say .”

Chang Pu looked ashamed, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law!"

Jiang shi accepted the list with a serious expression on his face.

When the yard was first bought, Jiang also liked to bring a few children over. The old lady watched the children running and playing in the yard with a smile, as if it was yesterday.

It's only been more than ten years now, and Erfang has fallen to this point.

Jiang's eyes were sour, he hurried out of the courtyard and came to Mingxiufang.

In the end, it was all for naught, and Chang Luoyun, who spent every day in Mingxiufang during this period, was not here.

Jiang had no choice but to go to Zhuxi Lane again.Chang Luoyun was wearing a green half-arm gauze dress and was drawing embroidery patterns in the inner courtyard.Seeing Jiang, she put down her pen and greeted her with a smile:

"Auntie, it's a hot day, just send me a message to let me go there, why do you make a special trip like this?"

Jiang patted her hand and said with a smile: "You child, I have nothing to do when I'm free, so I just came to see you to kill some time."

It is said that the fourth girl of the Chang family is cold-tempered, it depends on who she treats, Yun'er has a temperament like her mother, kind and forgetful.

Chang Luoyun asked Jiang Shi to sit down. The courtyard is well ventilated and the flowers and trees are lush. As soon as Jiang Shi came in, he felt the cool breeze blowing, making his whole body smooth.

Bi Yan had already brought up a fruit plate and an ice bowl, and Jiang Shi was hot and thirsty when he left, and just as he was about to take them, Chang Luoyun told Bi Yan, "This ice bowl is too cold, the lady is too hot to walk, I might hurt my spleen and stomach .I still have sour plum soup in my room. It has just cooled down. You can serve it to the eldest lady."

Jiang shi laughed, "This ice bowl is fine, don't make things too difficult for Bi Yan."

Chang Luoyun said with a smile: "Although the ice bowl is good, but it's too hot for my aunt to go, so it's better to drink sour plum soup at room temperature."

While talking, Biyan came over with a bowl of rose-red sour plum soup, Jiang took it and drank it, full of saliva, feeling much cooler.

"What is Second Sister doing? Why didn't she come with Auntie?" Chang Luoyun asked, waving a fan for Jiang.

"I came directly from your father. She didn't know that I would come to you. Otherwise, she must have made a fuss to come."

Jiang returned to the subject, "Yun'er, the Chang family lost its headed wife, so your father asked me to help sort out your dowry list."

She took out two slips from her sleeve and handed them to Chang Luoyun.

Chang Luoyun reached out to take it, and looked down.

"I also feel shabby about these things, but now the Chang family doesn't have anything." Jiang sighed, "Your father said it was impossible, so he sold the yard he bought later."

Chang Luoyun raised his head and said lightly: "He really said that?"

Jiang nodded, "That's what he said."

"Then sell it!" Chang Luoyun pushed the list in front of Jiang Shi again.

Jiang was at a loss for words and didn't know where to start. Selling the house and land was not a last resort. Who would think of such a way.

"Father and Wen Yun can't live so much. Selling the yard can save two manpower, and their life will be easier." Chang Luoyun's voice was clear and sweet, but in Jiang's ears, it made her uneasy.

Jiang Shi was a little embarrassed, "But your grandmother bought the yard under the sole control of her. If she really sells it, I'm afraid it will be."

"I know what you mean, Auntie." Chang Luoyun looked at her generously, "It's not easy for grandma to set up the family business, but father can't keep it. If you let him keep it, it will be embarrassing for him. Why don't you sell it?" , and he himself is more relaxed."

Jiang shi took a sip of sour plum soup to cover up his inner turmoil.

Having said that, how can a daughter let her father sell the yard to add a dowry to her?

"If it's not easy for Auntie to talk about it, then please ask Uncle to talk about it," Chang Luoyun said with a slight smile, "I'm marrying into the Houfu, not an ordinary family. This dowry is really stingy, let's not say I don't care." Do you mind, even the father's face is not radiant?"

Jiang forced a smile and said, "Naturally, I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle, and let him talk to your father."

Jiang clutched his chest all the way home, Chang Kuan looked at it strangely and said, "You were fine when you went out, why did you come back like this?"

Jiang Shi waved his hand, "Stop talking, I thought it was pitiful for my second younger brother not to have a wife in charge, so I helped Zhang Luoyun'er get married, how did I know that this kind of trouble made me a human being inside and out. "

Chang Kuan asked strangely: "Isn't this just writing a dowry list, even if it's more or less, it's a matter between their father and daughter. What are you doing?"

The Jiang family explained the matter of selling the yard to add dowry in detail, and added a sentence at the end: "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have persuaded my second brother to sell the yard, and now I want you to talk about selling the yard." Add makeup as if I'm instigating it."

Chang Kuan lowered his face, "Did Yun'er really say that?"

"She didn't say it, how dare I say such a thing!" Jiang said with a bitter face, "You can only talk about this matter, I won't talk about it anyway."
