Chapter 195 Dowry
Zhao Jing went to discuss poems and books with Yang Zhiyuan, Fanyin also went to the house, Shen Yuniang and Mrs. Zhao had already made an appointment for the dowry, and even made an appointment with the best embroidery workshop in Beijing to make the wedding dress. There are a total of thirteen pieces inside and out, and the Sanskrit sound only sticks out the tongue:
"Can you wear so many? Thirteen pieces, sinking to death."

"The process has already reduced a lot of links, and the wedding dress can't be saved anymore. Not only can't it be saved, but it's also more refined. Just marry like this, and I can't wrong you!" Shen Yuniang was very special about this matter He was firm, and did not allow Sanskrit to discuss any further, nor would he discuss this matter with her at all.

Mrs. Zhao covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Fanyin's sly look and said: "Be lazy at home, you won't have such a good time when you get married. Speaking of being a girl, I always want to have a family by myself." , When I really went out, I still miss the time when I was a girl."

"That's just thinking about it. How can I really go back? Life changes so fast that people sometimes just react, but they don't know how long it has passed."

Shen Yuniang smiled and hugged Fanyin, "Besides, our eldest girl is a sensible person who has been able to take care of family affairs since she was a child. Except for trivial matters at home, middle-class entertainment is not a problem for her."

Sanskrit tilted his head and lay on her shoulders, curling his lips and said, "Just having a mother and going out of the house, what's the matter!"

"I, who was watching from the side, thought it was strange. I was still talking about my son's marriage before, but in a blink of an eye, Huai Liu was about to leave the cabinet first. If my brain turned a little slower, I wouldn't be able to react."

Mrs. Zhao suddenly calmed down, "Have the dowry maids and companion rooms been booked?" The Yang family is small, and such things have never been taken to heart.

Shen Yuniang was startled, "Ah, if you hadn't said this, I would have forgotten about it!"

Sanskrit blinked, "I just want to bring colorful clouds, and there's no need to bring too many, right?"

"That's not allowed!" Mrs. Zhao's attitude was firm, "Mrs. Yang, don't take my words as provocative. The matter of staying with the room is also to show the identity of your mother's family. Although you can be regarded as close relatives, there is no blood relationship after all. , at most it’s just a matter of seniority, you have to put on a show, not only for the Zhong family to see, but also for outsiders.”

Mrs. Zhao looked at Sanskrit for a moment, "Besides, it's not simple in the Zhongfu Gate!"

"Do you know about the Zhong Mansion? Tell me quickly. I asked a bunch of people, and everyone told me that I don't know, and I don't know." Fanyin asked the truth, Madam Zhao's eyes dodged, and her heart hesitated even more.

After all, Shen Yuniang and Zhong Shi still have the status of mother and daughter. Wouldn't she make Mrs. Uncle feel unhappy if she talked too much here?

Shen Yuniang is also a sensible person, so she can see what Mrs. Zhao is afraid of, "I really didn't know so I didn't tell her. If you know, tell me. I am not such an ignorant person. This is also my daughter. I don't want my daughter to marry in a muddleheaded way without knowing anything, only to realize that she is worried after all the troubles..."

"Then I'll tell you, you'll stop after listening to it. After all, it's Mrs. Uncle's family business, and I can't be blamed as a slob."

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Actually, I also overheard this. Our master once met the second master of the Zhong family."

"How many brothers does Zhong Xingyan have? I only know Mrs. Bo is his own sister." Fanyin's question made Mrs. Zhao frowned, and looked at her in astonishment, "You don't even know this?"

Sanskrit shook his head, "I don't know."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Shen Yuniang, and Shen Yuniang hurriedly said: "I don't go out of the door and I don't go through the second door..."

"It seems that I really have to tell you something. The news can't be so closed." Mrs. Zhao's scruples were gone, and the chat box was opened.

"...Zhong Xingyan is the youngest in the family, ranking fourth, and Mrs. Uncle is the eldest aunt. They are siblings born of the same mother. There was an elder brother who died young before, so I don't need to mention it. So counting Zhong Xingyan also has two Shu brothers, who also practiced martial arts since childhood, and followed General Huaiyuan to lead troops as generals. Unfortunately, after the death of General Huaiyuan, the two began to quarrel, and they have not divided up to this day. , I don’t know exactly why.”

"Don't look at the two of them as concubines, but the daughter-in-laws they married are not girls from ordinary families. The second daughter-in-law's natal father is an official in the Ministry of Industry, and the grandfather of the third daughter-in-law used to be a prince. It's very important, and the two brothers' ability to marry a girl from such a family is also a drag on the reputation of General Huaiyuan."

"He authored Zhong Xingyan to marry me because he was wronged..." Fanyin laughed at himself and said with a self-deprecating smile: "But you have to bear the grievance, who made his life bad."

Mrs. Zhao winked her eyes to signal her not to talk nonsense, "We're all married, so we have to talk about good things. How can anyone say that about their own man?"

"I'm telling the truth." Sanskrit curled his lips and continued to ask: "You continue to say, I'd better listen carefully. There are two sisters-in-law of noble birth. How can my life be better?"

"You can't say that, Mrs. Uncle is behind you, Mr. Zhong is born again, and the two brothers can't make a name for themselves, but if you want to protect yourself, you have to help him hold the Zhong family. Li, although I don't know why they split up, but they must have no good intentions, so you have to choose a room to accompany you, it won't help you, and it won't help you!"

Mrs. Zhao's exhortation made Shen Yuniang feel that the matter was serious, but she knew about the nasty things about her husband's family, and she had already suffered such hardships in her last marriage!
"I'll take care of this tomorrow. If it doesn't work out at home, I'll go to the uncle's mansion to ask my mother to ask for some people. I don't believe they dare to bully Huai Liu at will."

Mrs. Zhao didn't fully agree, "You need to find someone who can completely surrender to Huai Liu, otherwise she is the most difficult thing to do."

Shen Yuniang was stunned for a moment and then realized, "It's all because I didn't think carefully and almost hurt Huai Liu. Don't blame me for Huai Liu, I have no other intentions..." Mrs. Uncle is the eldest aunt of the Zhong family, not to mention the uncle's family background The maids and women are all high-spirited, they will always put on airs, and they will report everything to Mrs. Uncle, and Sanskrit will not be able to provoke her left and right. I can't say it, but it hurt her.

Fanyin should understand the meaning of this, and she also understands that Shen Yuniang didn't deliberately embarrass her, "I understand that mother is afraid that the maid and woman she hired will be inappropriate and inappropriate. Don't come, isn't there still Mrs. Zhao?"

Fanyin winked and teased Mrs. Zhao, which made Mrs. Zhao's eyes widen, "This little girl is not willing to suffer at all. If I say what I say, do I have to arrange it?"

"You are Mrs. Quanfu, you are responsible to the end!" Sanskrit let go of Shen Yuniang, and moved to Mrs. Zhao's side, coquettishly teased Mrs. Zhao, making Mrs. Zhao laugh helplessly, "I'm afraid of you, I'm afraid of you, then I I will give you some of the ones prepared for Yue'e, but you have to ask Yue'e if she agrees."

"Need to talk about my relationship with Yue'e? She must agree!"

The closeness of Sanskrit to Yue'e made Mrs. Zhao very happy. She just wanted to prepare and mention more for Sanskrit sincerely. She also knew about Shen Yuniang. The family didn't understand it before. To prepare for the eldest girl's wedding, she must be in a hurry and inexperienced.

They are not outsiders at all, and Mrs. Zhao is not afraid of being picky by these girls.

After chattering for a long time, everything was almost settled, so Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Jing back.

His daughter was getting married, and Yang Zhiyuan felt guilty all the time. After the family finished dinner in the evening, he had to grab Sanskrit and keep chatting. There was no real topic of chatting, until Shen Yuniang had a headache and backache, and Sanskrit twitched.

It's not that Yang Zhiyuan said something that shouldn't be said, but that if a big man, a big man who never chatted, wants to chat, he must have nothing to say, is there any silence and silence?The topic was chosen so that neither Sanskrit nor Shen Yuniang could get in the conversation, let alone the slightest bit of interest.

Seeing her master's embarrassment, Shen Yuniang had to brag about it. Fanyin watched the two sing together, and she was also happy. At least her father had a companion, and Shen Yuniang was also a good woman.

Even if she leaves this home, she can rest assured, but what will the future look like?

Fanyin finally couldn't stand her father's embarrassing appearance, so she could only go back to sleep in the name of being sleepy.

Zhong Xingyan was staring at his two elder brothers and two sisters-in-law at this time, he still had the same unscrupulous look, but the four pairs of eyes on the opposite side were almost blind, and he couldn't see him. Zhong Xingyan had any reaction.

"Fourth, don't think that the second sister-in-law's words are ugly. You have always ignored the family affairs. Now that you come back, you want to get married in a big way, and you just took the key and went to the warehouse to take out so many things. What do you want?" Zhong Xinglian Fang's daughter-in-law, Fang Shi, was about to grit her teeth in anger. She originally thought that Zhong Xingyan would talk about dividing up the family when he came back, but he took the key to the clinker and started to let people move things.

His people are all holding horizontal knives, who dares to stop him!
Zhong Xingyan raised his eyebrows, "I've already said what I thought, I want to marry a wife."

"However, you have to have a certain amount in marrying a daughter-in-law. How can you spend money at will? The money is all from the father-in-law." Tian Shi, the daughter-in-law of the third child Zhong Xingqi, interjected.

Zhong Xingyan looked at the two brothers who were silent, and couldn't help but sneered, "The Zhong family's house is also mine, why do you live there?"

"That's because I didn't understand the separation of the family, and I won't leave if I don't understand for a day." Tian's tone was rushed, Fang looked at her reprimanded, and the words clouded her: "What are you talking about, we should help A group of four younger brothers is not for money."

"I'm the only bad guy, right? You are all good guys! Then I'll go!"

When Tian went out angrily, Zhong Xingqi just sneered a few times and remained calm.

The remaining three pairs of eyes looked at Zhong Xingyan again, Zhong Xingyan looked at everyone one by one, pointed to a sword on the table, "Didn't you say to help me? Well, I will marry a wife, and you will do your best. Do your best to help, my daughter-in-law is the person I like the most in my heart, and she must marry a rich man, otherwise I must be unhappy in my heart. As for what you think in your heart, you can wait until after I get married. If I feel uncomfortable , hehe, no one should ever think about nourishing it!"
