Chapter 198 The Dowry
Zhuang Jingyi looked down at what she had written, sighed a long time, reached out and rubbed the paper into a ball, let it into the paper basket, and sighed again.

"Girl, if you don't feel well, why don't you lie down on the couch." Qiuxiang glanced at Zhuang Jingyi distressedly. Since she was punished by the old lady last time, the girl's yard is surrounded by the old lady's eyeliner. Blame, in desperation, the girl stayed in the yard all the time except to pay her respects, even if she was not sick, she became ill from depression.

Zhuang Jingyi nodded, got up, found a book, leaned on the couch, picked up the book, turned a page, but began to lose consciousness again.

It's been almost half a year since she came to this era, not to mention that she is as prosperous as other time-traveling women, even the ancient women of this era are inferior!

Except for going out secretly last time, she never even went out!What if you know the composition of glass?Can't you go out and tell Dad that you know how to refine this glass?Dad only needs to ask: "How did you know?" and he can only be speechless.

Thinking about it, Zhuang Jingyi let out a long sigh again, stretched out her hand and turned over a page of the book, only felt that every word in the book was like ants crawling again, trembling unceasingly, unable to read a single word.

This kind of rice bug life of eating and waiting to die, although I had hoped for it every day in my previous life, but when it really came to this day, I suddenly realized that this life...is really not something ordinary people can live.

Qiuxiang went out, and when she came back again, she found that Zhuang Jingyi had fallen asleep in a daze on the couch, frowned, took a blanket, and gently covered Zhuang Jingyi, and then quietly retreated go out.

When Zhuang Jingyi woke up, it was already sunset, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she got up, called Qiu Xiang in, and washed up.

"Girl, Madam is here." The little maid came in.

"Aniang is here?" Zhuang Jingyi hurriedly stood up, and was about to go out to greet her, when she saw Mrs. Xu had lifted the curtain and entered, "Sister Yi..."

"Mother." Zhuang Jingyi was about to salute when she was grabbed by Mrs. Xu, "My son, come and sit down."

Zhuang Jingyi sat on the side with Mrs. Xu, raised her head and looked at Mrs. Xu: "Mother, there are so many guests today..." Zhuang Jingyi paused, no one said the following words, no matter in this mansion, others treated her How, this Mrs. Xu is really kind to her.

"Yes, I have a lot of things to do today, so I didn't come to see you until now." Xu's face was distressed, "My son..." Xu's eyes turned red as he said.

"Aniang, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Zhuang Jingyi couldn't help but get a headache when she saw Xu's jealousy. When will this Aunt get over the habit of crying every now and then?

"My son, eh..." Mrs. Xu grabbed Zhuang Jingyi's hand, her brows furrowed together, "Ma'am, I heard that Prince An..." Mrs. Xu's voice paused, "The most flirtatious... , my son, you, what will you do in the future..."

Zhuang Jingyi was covered in black lines by Xu's words, how could this mother-in-law persuade her daughter like this, isn't this stabbing a knife at the tip of her heart?If Zhuang Jingyi hadn't known who Xu Shi was, she might have thought that Xu Shi came here to gloat!
"Aniang, which man in this world is not a playboy? It is an ordinary farmer who wants to change his wife if he overcharges three or five dollars, let alone a county king who is the son of an official family?" Zhuang Jingyi stretched out her hand to hold Xu Shi's hand, "Aniang, don't worry, I know it well."

"Hmm." Xu's sadness was reduced by Zhuang Jingyi's persuasion: "I know my sister Yi is a good one, but..." Xu suddenly seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly became a little ugly. stand up.

Seeing Xu's expression, Zhuang Jingyi knew what Xu wanted to say, and hurriedly interrupted Xu's unspoken words: "Don't worry, Auntie, I am free to advocate for the matter of the third sister." Although Zhuang Jingyi said so, But there is no idea in her heart. Now she wants money but no money, no one, and can't even go out. Even if she has some ideas, she must have the ability to implement them.

But Mrs. Xu believed what Zhuang Jingyi said: "Aniang has always known that Sister Yi has an idea. Since you have an idea, Aniang can rest assured."

After hearing Xu's words, Zhuang Jingyi couldn't help but lament in her heart, no wonder A Niang, the daughter-in-law from the direct descendant, and herself, the upright daughter-in-law from the direct descendant, are not even as good as a respectable mother-in-law in this uncle Yongyi's mansion!

Although A Niang said that she is in charge of the Zhongfu of the Yongyi Mansion, she is just a puppet, and all the right to speak is with the grandmother!

"Auntie, I've grown up." Zhuang Jingyi held Xu's hand with a little force.

"Aniang, I know that sister Yi has grown up." Xu Shi said, the expression on his face softened a little, "Aniang is useless, fortunately both of you sisters have ideas, otherwise... "

"If it weren't for A-Niang, my life would not be as leisurely as it is now." Zhuang Jingyi smiled and comforted, "Only A-Niang is well, and we two can be well."

"Mm." Xu nodded and said, "Although Aunt is useless, if someone is bullying you..." Xu pursed her lips forcefully, "I will risk my life not to, Aunt, also... Nor will it!"

"Yeah." Zhuang Jingyi tilted her body and leaned on Xu's shoulder, "I knew that having a mother's child is a treasure, and I will rely on my mother from now on."

Xu said with a smile: "Aniang tidied up your original dowry today. What your father and grandmother mean is that the original dowry is no longer suitable for you to marry into the county prince's mansion. I plan to add some new ones for you. Auntie is here to show you."

As Xu said, she took out a list and said, "My son, take a look, these are the ones I like. If you don't like them, Aniang will tell your father."

Zhuang Jingyi didn't reach out to take the order. Since the dowry order was brought out by her father and grandmother, it was already decided. Zhuang Jingyi didn't expect to change anything through Xu's.

"Aniang, since it was decided by father and grandmother, it is naturally good, and my daughter has nothing to dissatisfy."

Sure enough, when Zhuang Jingyi said this, Xu Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, Xu Shi also knew that with her own ability, she was powerless to change anything: "My sister Yi has always been the most sensible!" Xu said She said, "I gave part of my dowry to your sister, and I plan to give you the rest..."

"No need." Zhuang Jingyi quickly shook her head resolutely. She has been here for so long, and she also knows what a woman's dowry means. If Auntie gives all the dowry to herself, then Auntie will spend her days in this Yongyi Mansion It must be even more difficult, "Aniang, my father and grandmother have prepared a lot of dowry for me. Besides, when I went to the Prince's Mansion of Anjun, there were no parents-in-law to respect, and no sister-in-law to take care of. It's enough for me to spend several lifetimes, so don't worry, Aniang."

"Hey..." Xu sighed sadly, "This royal family..." Xu said, as if realizing something, she suddenly covered her mouth, and looked at Zhuang Jingyi with an apologetic expression.

"Aniang, I know that the royal family has strict rules, so I will be careful." Zhuang Jingyi said, raising her head and looking at Xu Shi, "Aniang, I have one thing I want to ask Aniang."

"Tell me." Mrs. Xu held Zhuang Jingyi's hand with a sincere expression, "Although I am cowardly, Aunt, I know what is important. Aunt only has you two..."

"Auntie." Zhuang Jingyi smiled and interrupted Xu's words. Recently, Xu took her hand and talked most about her and her sister's affairs. It's a pity that the core in her body has already died. It wasn't the original one, and she didn't have the slightest feeling for the sister who became the princess of Liang. Besides, according to her feeling, the sister of the prince of Liang didn't seem to like her younger sister, otherwise, The last time I got married, why didn't that sister even show her face? !

"Okay, okay, what's the matter, you tell me first, Auntie, listen." Xu changed the subject with a smile.

"Aniang, I want to choose the dowry wife, servant girl and companion room by myself." Zhuang Jingyi dragged Mrs. Xu with a look of determination on her face, "Aniang, do you still remember the last time I married into Jing'an Hou's mansion?" At that time, Ms. Huang tried her best to sell me to pave the way for Sister Shu. Those maids wanted to leave me alone and climbed into Xiao Yixuan's bed, and those companions, whose daughter had been waiting in Jing'an for so many days , I didn't even see you once..."

Xu's eyes turned red again: "My poor sister Yi..."

"Aniang, can you promise me..." Zhuang Jingyi took Xu's hand and shook it vigorously, "Aniang, this Prince An's Mansion is much deeper than that Jing'an Marquis Mansion, if I can bring some of my own Let's go..." Zhuang Jingyi's words stopped here, and then she opened her eyes and looked at Mrs. Xu, the words have already been said so straightforwardly, if Mrs. Xu still doesn't understand, then Zhuang Jingyi really wants to Hit the wall!
"Okay! This matter, Auntie agrees to you!" Mrs. Xu was silent for a while, and agreed with gritted teeth.

"Thank you, Ma'am!" Zhuang Jingyi stood up abruptly, and bowed to Mrs. Xu decently, "Ma'am, I want to buy these people from Ren Yazi!"

"..." Mrs. Xu's eyes widened suddenly, "Sister Yi, you, don't you choose from the house?"

"Aniang, how many people in this mansion are trustworthy? Even in your yard, how many are trustworthy?" Zhuang Jingyi straightened her back and looked at Mrs. Xu. She knew these words and felt a little irritated. Heart, but not to say that, she was afraid that Mrs. Xu would force her to choose in the mansion, so it would be better to sell favors to her father, grandmother, and Sanfang, and let them plug in people casually!

"..." Xu was suddenly speechless.

"Auntie, it's human teeth. I don't want the ones that the house often buys. If I can't, just a few human teeth. I have to choose carefully. If this is the case, I still picked those eyeliners..." Zhuang Jingyi The corner of his mouth curled up forcefully, "It's my fate."

"Okay! Auntie promises you!" Xu Shi said, standing up abruptly, "Aniang, this, I will find your father!" Xu said, got up and walked out, walked a few steps, She stopped again, "Sister Yi, don't worry, this time, Auntie will definitely get what you want!"

Zhuang Jingyi looked at Xu's somewhat stiff back, her heart warmed up, and she let out a strong breath, and then she softened. Since Auntie agreed, then she had to think carefully about how to choose a maid for herself And accompany the room.

Several days passed, Zhuang Jingyi didn't wait for Mrs. Xu to come over, she went by herself and didn't see her. The woman in charge smiled and said to Zhuang Jingyi, "Madam is very busy."

But no matter how much Zhuang Jingyi asked, the woman in charge couldn't tell the reason. In the past few days, Mrs. Xu seemed to have disappeared. Zhuang Jingyi went to see Zhuang Zhipeng, and Zhuang Zhipeng was too busy to see him. Mrs. Zhuang, however, excused herself from being unwell, and followed suit to avoid seeing her. Zhuang Jingyi's fiery heart gradually calmed down. It seemed that A Niang did not persuade her father, grandmother, and her dowry maid to accompany the room. It will still be composed of the Eight-Power Allied Forces!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Jingyi frowned suddenly.

"Girl, Ma'am is here." Qiu Xiang opened the door curtain and came in with a smile on her face.

Zhuang Jingyi stood up abruptly, took two quick steps and went out to meet her, almost bumping into Xu Shi who came in in a hurry.
