No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Mrs. Zhang is considered the most sober-minded person in the family. She was the first candidate to be the matron of the house. She also knew that the family could not afford to find someone who was not responsible. Mrs. Zhang has been in charge of the house for many years, and the house has been able to maintain itself. The old aunt and the third and fourth bedrooms were dragged to death, which was her ability.

Otherwise, when she came out of Qingxu Temple that day, she could immediately make the decision and go to Rong Mansion to propose marriage.This is her quality as a family member. Otherwise, depending on Zhang Hou and his son, or the second wife's tangled temper, we don't know when the marriage will take place.

So Mrs. Zhang was not happy when she just heard from the second wife that she would discuss the dowry with the Jia family as she said.She didn't bring much dowry because she had to take care of a large family at that time, so she had no choice but to do so.Now Mrs. Zhang's second wife comes here to mention this, not to blame the eldest brother for injustice. She didn't say anything about the third and fourth bedrooms at the beginning.

The men of the Zhang family came back in the evening and heard the second wife’s complaint again. Do you think this is something?Often the husband's family complains that the daughter-in-law's compensation is too little, but the second wife is actually afraid that her daughter-in-law's compensation is too much.

Zhang Hou looked at his younger brother in confusion. Could it be that the court had new regulations.

Zhang Shangshu also didn’t understand that before marrying off a daughter, before the family was separated, it was all done by the sister-in-law and her wife.Now he didn't think about the problem of the family being separated. He smiled at Mrs. Zhang and said, "Everything depends on my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang wants to grind her teeth. She will listen to her sister-in-law no matter what she says. Does she owe them anything?The grandma below lowered her head and pretended not to hear.Concentrate on eating your own.

"Is it worth talking about?" Zhang Hou gave his younger brother a roll of his eyes and immediately turned to his wife, "What do you think the Jia family means? We are going to propose marriage in two days, so we must not make any mistakes."

Even though the family was separated, Zhang Hou only regarded it as his younger brother's last resort in order to drive away the third and fourth houses.Now that we are living close by, he also thinks it is to calm down the tension between the three and four-bedroom apartments. We are brothers who want to live close together, so what's the problem?He really didn't think that their brothers had separated.

Mrs. Zhang and Grandma Zhang both wanted to die and began to reflect on what kind of family they had married into.

"Well, how about we talk about it one by one. First, the Jia family has no objection to me, right?" Zhang Zhen couldn't listen anymore. He deeply felt that his father was so proficient in the law, but he ended up like this. In family matters, something is completely wrong.

"Of course, you don't lack anything..." Mrs. Zhang Er said hurriedly.The Jia family liked Zhang Zhen and agreed to the marriage, but they were dissatisfied with the Zhang family's arrangements regarding time and dowry.So let the Zhang family think about it first.Mrs. Zhang Er was still satisfied with this, but she didn't think she was wrong.

"Okay, the second thing is about the date. What did you mean by October?" Zhang Zhen hurriedly said the second thing, determined not to give his mother a chance to talk nonsense.

"Their aunt passed away in October last year. It was for this reason that the old lady made great efforts to organize the house, take back the eldest daughter, and strictly control the children and grandchildren. If you get married this year, of course you can't choose a date before October. And this year is good There is only one day in October..." The second wife said it matter-of-factly, with an expression like "I am doing it for the good of the Jia family," and she even said she was moved. "Isn't October a little rushed? Isn't it enough to pay for the dowry?" It was Zhang Hou who spoke. He counted the days and it seemed that it was not enough.

"That's right, my sister-in-law is afraid of this, so she specially asked Zhang Shenxian to tell her that she doesn't need to worry about the dowry. When Zirui's wife came in to carry her 64, Miss Jia came out of the palace, and there was the noble concubine and the emperor's reward Ruyi. They are decent enough and don’t need to add any more glory. Besides, the dowry is the couple’s own business. They can bring whatever they bring and it’s affordable. Our family has never had the tradition of coveting dowry from our daughter-in-law. Uncle, are you right about your sister-in-law? ?” The second wife really felt more and more justified.

Except for Zhang Zhen, all the men almost nodded.But Zhang Hou was not bad. He looked at his wife and didn't dare; while Prince Zhang looked at Zhang Zhen's face and felt that something was wrong, so he didn't dare; Zhang Shangshu was used to not nodding, so as not to be found out that he didn't understand.

"Come one by one, don't mess around." Zhang Zhen was taught how to fry fish by the old lady herself, and he would not be influenced by his mother at all. "Let's talk about the time first. We will get married in October. Even though we have already prepared, what do you think? Our two families have enough time, what about the guests? When do you plan to send out the post? Generally, this kind of post should be sent at least one month in advance to allow the guests to free up time and let the ladies in the house prepare clothes and jewelry? Also, so Urgent, everyone asked later, what did you say? What you just said was that for the Jia family, you deliberately delayed it until after October. Then how did you ask the Jia family to agree? If you agreed, you would let the outside world say that their family The girl hates getting married so much that she can’t even wait for the coming spring to bloom? Then, outsiders will still say that our Zhang family is trying to take advantage of the Jia family. Is this a marriage or an enmity? "

Mrs. Zhang Er was stunned. Listening to her son's words, it seemed to make sense. She looked back at the eldest wife. Who said that it should be completed within this year?She was in such a hurry just because she wanted to finish it this year!

What can Mrs. Zhang do? Her lifelong sister-in-law’s relationship is actually quite real. She hurriedly patted the second wife and turned to Zhang Zhen, “At the beginning of the year, the old god said that if you miss the red star this year, your marriage will be difficult. , so as soon as we heard about your fate with the Jia family, we started to prepare these days. According to our family's progress, it is possible for you to get married tomorrow. So I'm afraid your mother really feels very Yue is giving face to the Jia family."

Mrs. Zhang sighed in her heart. Sure enough, when the old man chose his second grandson's daughter-in-law, he probably chose a useless one on purpose, so as not to prevent his direct descendants from being able to defend themselves against the enemy from the outside and annihilate themselves inside first.But I also don’t think about the problem of branches on a large tree, and I don’t know whether to scold or sigh.

Mrs. Zhang Er felt that her sister-in-law understood her, so she nodded hurriedly, "That's right, that's right."

"It's okay. We've had a great ceremony and the marriage is settled. It doesn't matter when the wedding date is set." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly comforted her and looked up at Zhang Zhen, "Please ask Zhang Shenxian to take a look again tomorrow. What good day will there be next spring? Anyway, we have completed the etiquette this year, so it should count."

"Yes!" Zhang Zhen hurriedly stood up and bowed to show that he had learned the lesson, and then said, "About dowry, there are often disputes in our yamen. This is not the Jia family's business, but our Zhang family's business."

"What?" The second wife was confused.

"The dowry is based on the betrothal gift. There is no one who has not mentioned the betrothal gift. Let's talk about the dowry first and ask them to prepare less. Then will the Jia family think that we don't want to give the betrothal gift? There are many such cases in the Yamen , the two parents' families were arguing over the bride price and dowry. Although they are common people's families, it doesn't mean that people like us don't have disputes. Isn't this kind of thing rare in each family?" Zhang Zhen was speechless. How ignorant are his parents? , I can’t figure this out.Is this a matter of asking for less dowry?The Jia family is marrying the eldest daughter this time. They have to marry well for the sake of the next three sisters. Otherwise, what will happen to the next sisters?
Okay, one comes from the household department and is the landowner. Don’t do too many trivial things in the local affairs every day.So he is much better than his biological mother who is completely ungrounded.As soon as I heard it, I knew what the problem was.
