Fendai Weiyang

Chapter 159
"Isn't our family ruined? The dowry that mother promised to her daughter is now all gone?"

"Fengling, don't you look at what time it is now, the man in the family is still silent at the moment, your grandmother has collapsed again, you can't see the inside and outside of the house, and now you are going to marry People, what are you still messing around with?"

"I'm messing around? Mom, look at my dowry for yourself, does it look like it? It's not even comparable to the marriage of ordinary women, can it be carried out? How do you let me hold my head up in my in-law's house in the future?" ?”

Mrs. Hu has a splitting headache, there is no backbone in the family, the old and the young are all counting on her alone, but what can she do?
If she didn't really feel sorry for Fengling, Mrs. Hu would not let her marry at this juncture. She knew that this move would make the Hu family even more desperate. Fortunately, the old lady collapsed from grief, otherwise, this matter It can't be so smooth.

But why is Feng Ling still not grateful, and still quarreling with her because of the dowry?

"Everything that can be bought in the family is here. You are not married to a high-ranking official, but an ordinary small family. Are these not enough?"

Hu Fengling suppressed the anger in her heart, and pouted forward, "Mother, why don't I know your difficulties? It's just that although the person I married today is still an ordinary small family, who knows what will happen in the future? Don't you also say Is it a capable person? Maybe, he can save the Hu family from their plight?"

"My daughter is also the daughter of the Hu family. With such a dismal marriage, outsiders don't think that the Hu family is at the end of the road? Even if they want to help, they will hesitate."

Seeing that her mother's face was a little loose, Hu Fengling continued, "Besides, our family has not reached that point yet. Aren't there still many good things in the warehouse behind my mother?"

Madam Hu's complexion changed suddenly, and she stretched out her hand to push Hu Fengling away from her side, "You are thinking about those things?! You can also think about those things? Now that your uncle and brother are all uncertain, and the whole Hu family is gloomy, what are those things? The root of the Hu family! You wicked girl, you only think about your own future, and you don’t care about your parents or the life of the Hu family?!"

Hu Fengling was pushed staggeringly, and her waist accidentally bumped into a desk beside her, which hurt her so much that her expression changed immediately.

"Mother doesn't care about her daughter's life!"

Covering the sore spot with her hand, when had Hu Fengling been in such a mess?So he ignored it, "Who used to pick and choose my marriage? If you married me back then, why should I settle for a small family today?"

"I pick and choose? Who the hell doesn't like this or that? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, don't you just look at the girls from the Xia family marrying well, and always feel that none of them are good enough for you? ? Well, well, it’s mine now?! You don’t want to see how you compare with the daughter of the Xia family!”

"How can mother say such a thing? Is that how you look down on your daughter?"

Madam Hu looked at the distraught Hu Fengling, but instead sneered, "It doesn't matter whether I see or not, I've worked so hard to plan for you, but in the end it doesn't end well, and you still blame me. What is the picture? Since you think so, then I have nothing to say."

"The marriage is settled. You can marry or not. The dowry is just so much. I can't give it any more. The Hu family is in a precarious situation. They are all people who can't carry their shoulders or hands. They have to find a way to get rid of it." It’s not easy to make up these things after being rescued by the masters, so please do it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Hu stopped talking. Seeing this, the woman beside her hurried forward to persuade Hu Fengling to leave.

But Hu Fengling was already so angry by her mother's words that she threw off her mother-in-law's hand suddenly and was about to lose her temper.

"My good lady, don't make Madam angry anymore. Madam has broken her heart for you. It is not easy for Madam to find a way out for you without telling Madam and other caring people in the house."

"Then it's easy for me? If I can't go out in a good manner, how can my husband's family look up to me? What is the difference between me and those poor girls?"

"You get out, get out!"

Madam Hu supported her forehead, and sternly scolded Hu Fengling, the servants did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly invited him out with a half push and a half push.

"Ma'am, drink your saliva slowly, the lady still doesn't understand this..."

"She doesn't understand? What does she understand?!"

Mrs. Hu reached out and waved the teacup handed over by the mother-in-law to the ground, "What else does she have in her heart other than being competitive? She can't get used to this or that all day long, and I can't get used to Xia's daughter, but she has at least one thing in her heart." She always pretends to be her own home, but what about her?"

"When the Hu family was prosperous, everyone was happy, but now that something happened, they felt very unhappy. The old lady was mad at her. If I don't protect her, what will she do in the future?"

"Madam, calm down, Miss, but she hasn't turned around yet..."

"How else does she want to turn around?!"

Madam Hu let out a deep breath and closed her eyes feebly.

"At this point, the Hu family can't go back to the past. The servants in the mansion are scattered, and only some of you long-term old people are willing to stay. You can also see how difficult I am. See you."

"The old ones can't take care of things, and the young ones don't understand at all, let alone those who wish to stay far away. Feng Ling has always been high-spirited. Before the Hu family gained power, she was completely inflated. I was also at fault. But after so many years, I finally feel proud, who can hold back?"

Mrs. Hu sighed, "But I thought Feng Ling was a sensible person. After the Hu family's accident, her grandfather asked her to go to Jiang's house to say good things, but she was unwilling, and even made the two families worse. Temper, if you stay in Hu's house all the time, what good will happen?"

"Madam, please don't say that. The old servant watched the young lady grow up. The lady thinks of her so much, and the young lady will always understand."

"I'm afraid, by the time she figures it out, it will be too late..."

Shaking her head invisibly, Mrs. Hu slumped on the chair tiredly, raised her eyes and scanned the empty room. Some places where the candles couldn't reach were dark, as if some ferocious animal was hiding. Is eyeing...

*****************************************
After all, Hu Fengling got married. The marriage was so simple and cold, and quietly, an ordinary sedan chair was carried out of Hu's residence.

As if trying to cover up people's eyes and ears, there was no noisy joy, but there were quite a few eyes paying attention to the Hu family these days, and it still sparked a heated discussion.

"Who said that the Hu family still has back-ups? Now that the daughter-in-law is getting married, what back-ups are there?"

"It's really miserable. I thought it would be good no matter what. Judging by the amount of the dowry, no matter what, it's a family that once won the limelight. It's too shabby..."

"That's why, Feng Shui takes turns. The Hu family thought they finally overwhelmed the Xia family, but in the end it ended up like this. It's not as stable as the Xia family. Even if the girl of the Hu family is married, life may not be easy in the future."

……

She didn't want to know what Hu Fengling was thinking, but Qian Fei felt very sad.

I don't know whether it was pity or anger, which made her subconsciously exclude the news of the Hu family, but the Hu family soon became the topic of conversation for everyone, and it might be the last time.

The accusation of the Hu family deceiving the king did not come from the fact that there was any accommodation for the money that the Hu family used. Exile punishment.

This is almost a capital crime, and it belongs to pampered masters, young masters, wives, how can they bear such a punishment?For a while, the Hu family cried loudly, and the voices of grievances and injustices could not be dispersed in Jinxi for a long time.

However, the crime has been determined, so what if he is wronged?The Hu family's house was ransacked, and the little remaining property could not be kept. In just a few days, Mrs. Hu died.

……

"Husband... don't you need to go to the shop these days?"

Qian Fei was a little surprised to see that Jiang Liran had been staying in the mansion for several days, so she couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Jiang Liran waved at her, and waited for Qian Fei to come up to her, before opening a small box in front of her, "I asked someone to bring this back from Pudong, look at how nice it is."

The rosewood box is carved with simple and simple patterns, and the four corners are inlaid with thin copper pieces. Inside the box is a jade lock.

"This is?"

"There is a saying in Pudong that after marriage, if the husband gives his wife a jade lock, they will live forever, and the effect varies depending on the jade craftsman. This jade lock is the most respected in Pudong. Made by a jade craftsman, I asked someone to ask for it a long time ago, and I just got it today."

"..." Qian Fei's eyes moved away from the jade lock, full of astonishment at seeing a ghost, this...is Jiang Liran's style?I have always known that he is passionate, but infatuation and devotion are not his style, how could he prepare this for himself?
"My lady's expression... Can my husband understand it as being overjoyed?"

"..." Qian Fei nodded blankly, "It's almost..."

Being scared and overjoyed... can be the same thing?

The warm jade lock was lying quietly in the box. Qian Fei stretched out her hand to take it out, but the pad of her thumb rubbed against some uneven places. When she took it closer and looked carefully, there was actually engraved with herself and Jiang at the lower end of the lock. Liran's name...

He raised his head to look at Jiang Liran, he had a calm look just now, but now his eyes didn't know where to go.

Xia Qianfei, Jiang Liran, have thin and graceful incisions, no matter how they are touched by fingers, they still exist so clearly.

"I love so much."

Qian Fei's low voice made Jiang Liran's wandering eyes turn back, full of surprise.

"I like it very much, thank you husband."

Qian Fei raised her face, looked straight at Jiang Liran and repeated it seriously. At that moment, Jiang Liran seemed to hear something melting in her heart.
