Chapter 253 Doting on the Unlucky Yu Bin (2)
When Fang's mother pulled Hua Zhu and said that her house was in the main courtyard, Hua Zhu guessed that the eldest lady had promoted her identity. Madam puts pressure on her, and hopes that the one who will marry into the door is a legitimate daughter.With the interests at present, there is no reason for the eldest lady not to agree.Although Huazhu didn't guess everything right, she was pretty close.Huazhu smiled: "Thank you, mother."

The eldest lady nodded in satisfaction, and said: "All the moon silver in Haitang Courtyard has been withdrawn, and yours has increased to ten taels. If it is not enough, just ask me for it. Don't dare to tell me what you want to buy."

"Yes."

"I've sent someone to deliver the fabric to your house. If you don't think it's suitable, I'll take you to the street to pick a new one tomorrow."

"Okay." Hua Zhu responded frankly and obediently.

The eldest lady took a sip of tea leisurely, Aunt Lu really burned high incense in her ancestors to give birth to such a promising daughter, smart, capable and generous, not worse than her crimson pearl.The eldest lady handed her the list: "Let's leave in a hurry. The property in Fujian has not been completely sold. See if there is anything you like. If there is any, I will leave it to you. Here in the capital, I will give you two shops. A Zhuangzi, 3 taels of silver. When Jiangzhu got married, my mother bought an extra, so I had two more shops and 5000 taels of silver than you. She is the eldest sister, and you are the first sister. This arrangement should not be considered a bad treatment for you. gone."

She can't be allowed to go beyond Jiangzhu, because the identity of the eldest daughter is there, the more she can't.

Huazhu understands.In fact, with the dowry that Jiang Zhu secretly gave her, she has surpassed Jiang Zhu: "Thank you mother. I just don't know if the third sister will..."

The eldest lady knew what Huazhu was going to say, she snorted coldly, and said: "A concubine, how dare you compare the dowry with a concubine? You just need to get married at ease, and don't care about others. If anyone chews his tongue, Just tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson!"

Da Furen's heart is clear, offending anyone can not offend Ran's family, especially, Ran Lao Furen's energy to protect the calf, I am afraid that the eldest son and grandson will not be as favored as Liao Zi.

Nian Zhengyuan's eyes flashed, he cleared his throat, picked up his teacup, and drank tea.

The eldest lady squinted her eyes. She has shared the same bed for many years. She knows every expression and every movement of him clearly. Isn't this a shameless thing?ah?

The eldest lady slapped the table suddenly, shocking Hua Zhu and Nian Zhengyuan, and then she heard her yin and yang say strangely: "My lord, it seems that the minister of Honglu Temple gave you a statue of Avalokitesvara inlaid with gold, you... Where to put it?"

The corner of Nian Zhengyuan's mouth twitched: "Yes, yes? I... I drank too much, so I don't remember much."

"Drinking tea with the wives that day, and chatting casually, I realized that the master has collected a lot of things recently. But all of them are filled with private money?" The eldest lady looked at Nian Zhengyuan with a half-smile, thinking Don't hide it from her eyes, dreaming!Secretly stuffing Huazhu with some gadgets, she just opened her eyes and closed her eyes, but now she dares to hide so many precious things, why?When her mistress is a display?

Hua Zhu blinked her bright eyes, and looked at the eldest lady and her father in confusion.The eldest lady didn't ask her to avoid suspicion, so she didn't take the initiative to ask her to leave.

Nian Zhengyuan put down his teacup and smiled mischievously: "Where do I collect a lot of good things? Did you remember wrongly?"

"Really?" The lady's voice was very long, she took out a small scroll from her wide sleeve, spread it out, and said, "Minister of Honglu Temple, a golden Guanyin inlaid with jade; Minister of the official department, seven-colored coral One; Yang Xuezheng of the Imperial Academy, a pair of Diancui phoenix hairpins; Master Cui of the Imperial College, a pair of warm jade chessboards..."

After reading, Nian Zhengyuan's face turned green, the lady raised her eyelids, and said with a light smile, "Master, did I read it wrong?"

"You...you...you're looking for those ladies to drink tea, so it's just to gather information, it's too insidious!" Nian Zhengyuan became angry and wanted to explode, but in the end he felt guilty and could only grit his teeth with hatred.

The eldest lady smiled wantonly: "They all flattered the master for the sake of the granddaughter-in-law of the Ran family. Do you think the master should give the things they gave to Huazhu as a dowry?"

"This...I...ah..." Nian Zhengyuan hesitated, unable to express himself.

Parents always favor weaker children. In the past, Huazhu had no mother, money, or power, so he loved her very much.Now Huazhu seems to be very powerful, but it is Lizhu who is embroidering her wedding dress alone, without even seeing her mother.In contrast, Huazhu, who is loved by Mrs. Ran, respected by General Ran, and doted on by Liao Zicheng, seems to no longer need his favoritism.

How could the eldest lady not know what he was thinking?However, she had no sympathy for Hua Zhu in the past, and now she has no sympathy for Li Zhu!The eldest lady snorted coldly, withdrew her gaze from his face, and told Mother Fang: "You, take the list, go to Aunt Mei's and bring the things back to me!"

Mother Fang took the list without looking sideways, turned around and left the room.

The eldest lady patted Hua Zhu's hand and said: "No matter how honest a cat is, there will be times when it steals, and the hand of the mistress can't be loosened at all times. Learn from it."

"Thank you mother for teaching." After finishing speaking, Hua Zhu gave Nian Zhengyuan a sympathetic look. It is his luck or misfortune to marry such a shrewd and capable wife.

Later, the eldest lady discussed with Hua Zhu about the accompanying room and the date of marriage. At first, the eldest lady decided to be the eighth day of September, but the old lady Ran was impatient, so she mentioned July, and the eldest lady went to the temple to ask the presiding master , Said that July [-] is an auspicious day for the zodiac.Now it is the end of April, and the wedding will be completed in less than March, so there are too many things to prepare.What's more coincidental is that the Gu family is also visiting Lizhu.The eldest lady simply broke her heart, and on July [-]th, the two daughters will marry together!

"You can see Fourth Master Ran?" Da Furen asked Hua Zhu as she thumped her swollen legs.

Hua Zhu put away the dowry list and replied, "Not yet."

"We will see each other. Your Fifth Sister's marriage should not be until next year." After finishing speaking, the eldest lady glanced at the hourglass on the wall, "It's getting late, do you want to rest here or go back to the Begonia Courtyard?"

"Go back to Haitang Courtyard."

Everything in Haitang Courtyard was different from before. Cherished flowers were planted in the yard, valuables were placed in the house, and all the maids and women put on new clothes.When everyone saw her, they saluted respectfully, and even the lady who cleaned her made an ironic gesture.
