Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 103 Dowry
Before dawn, Jin Hua called her up, and she went back to sleep as soon as she was interested in chatting, and Yin Hua let out a sulky breath.In the morning, I wanted to eat a few more buns to vent my anger, but recently she has gained weight again, and the weather is getting hotter. Everyone will change into thin shirts soon. If you are a little fatter, it will not look good to wear thin shirts.In order to look good, she could only restrain her appetite and dare not take a bite.

Although Yinhua's other aesthetics are beyond ordinary people, only the requirements for body are the same as that of the world.In this family, Jinhua can't get fat no matter how much she eats; Zhuhua loses weight after being ill, and it's useless to eat more; so she is the only one who suffers from getting fat.Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she touched her face and found that there was a hard lump on it, probably a pimple that was about to grow out.

Why has she never seen her eldest sister have acne, she would develop one every month, Yinhua's face was depressed and cold, and she didn't even want to wear her favorite ruby ​​hairpin.If she had acne, she would not be able to meet Jia Lang.

Yinhua and Jia Zechen met on the day of Lantern Festival. Jia Zechen won a lantern by guessing crossword puzzles at the booth. While looking at Yinhua who looks like a lady from a rich family.Although Yinhua's reaction was slightly different from what he expected, he thought that his handsome appearance must be in her heart.

A few days later, he met Yinhua again in Daxiangguo Temple, and sure enough, she still remembered him.Only then did he know that Yinhua was the first daughter of Cheng Dashan's family, a fourth-rank military officer. Where is the father-in-law of the fourth rank military officer?

He was nearly nineteen years old, and because of the death of his aunt at home, he kept filial piety for three years and delayed his marriage.Now the sister-in-law who is in charge of the family obviously doesn't want to bother about the concubine's younger brother, and the marriage partner they are looking for is either of ordinary background or the concubine's daughter, which makes him look down on him.After evading it a few times, the sister-in-law didn't propose marriage to him again. He thought he could find a good marriage by himself, but after looking for a few years, there were many confidante, but few of them really wanted to marry him. of.Now that he is not young, he also regrets offending his sister-in-law a few years ago. Fortunately, his talent and learning are real, and there are women in this world who are attracted to him.

One is a frequent visitor to Huazhong and the other is just in love. Yinhua suddenly fell into his sweet talk.Since Jia Zechen intended to propose marriage and wanted to maintain his perfect impression in Yinhua's heart, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary to her.After getting along for a few months, Jingzhong knew the rumors about the two of them, and Yinhua had a deep affection for him, could she still marry someone else?

Today, when he saw Yinhua coming with an unfamiliar aunt, he guessed that the people in Cheng's house knew about it.He saluted politely, but his eyes could not help but lightly swept over Qing Lan's face.It has to be said that Yinhua looks mediocre, but Xia Fen, the maid beside her, is extremely good-looking and knowledgeable.When he thought that after marrying Yinhua in the future, this maid would follow her into the mansion, he felt more and more that marrying Yinhua would be good.And the aunt who accompanied her today, it would be even better if she could come here as a dowry.

Qinglan has lived comfortably in Cheng's mansion these years. Although food and clothing are much simpler than when she was young, she is more comfortable than when she was young. At least she doesn't have to deal with several cousins, and she doesn't have to help her mother with her My aunt is fighting for favor.Mrs. Sun would ask her about her future every year, and she made up her mind not to marry, so she replied truthfully that she was willing to serve her in the mansion for the rest of her life.Of course, she had other thoughts in her mind, that is, following a certain young lady to marry and become a nurse in charge of her husband's courtyard, after all, she still felt a little uncomfortable staying in Cheng's residence.

Jinhua doesn't need her anymore, she doesn't really want to go to Yinhua's place, but she wants to follow Zhuhua. It is also Zhuhua who has taught her the most and learned the most over the years.It's just that according to Sun's standard for choosing a son-in-law, her three daughters will not marry into a high-ranking family, and whether they need to marry a nanny is another matter.

Although she has to think about these things occasionally, she still lives a relaxed life. After all these years, she doesn't look old at all, on the contrary, she shows a more calm temperament.She has always been wearing light makeup, and compared with women with heavy makeup, she looks younger, so it is no wonder that Jia Zechen looks at her more often.Qing Lan is less than thirty now, she is as light as a chrysanthemum, elegant and generous, even if Xia Fen is standing beside her, others will look at Qing Lan after taking a look at Xia Fen.Jia Zechen thought of the lady whom her husband had left in Beijing to accompany her mother-in-law that she had seen a few times before. Compared with Qing Lan, that woman seemed petty. I don't know what Qing Lan would look like in bed?
Qinglan soon noticed Jia Zechen's gaze. She came here with Sun's instructions, and she paid close attention to Jia Zechen's every move in private. Turning around, she pretended to raise her head to meet his gaze inadvertently, and gave him a slightly shy smile.

Jia Zechen was talking with Yinhua, but he couldn't hear Yinhua's voice for a while. After Yinhua finished speaking, he asked him excitedly, but he vaguely dealt with it.Yinhua didn't notice it, and continued to talk about herself, but Jia Zechen looked at Qinglan again, seeing that she seemed to be looking elsewhere on purpose, and couldn't help but look away.Qinglan looked aside for a long time, then turned her head, but was glared at by Xia Fen who was following Yinhua.She looked at it lightly, thinking about it.

After returning to Cheng's mansion in the evening, she avoided others and went to see Mrs. Sun in the main courtyard.Yinhua didn't know that Qinglan was ordered by Sun to stare at her, and thought it was Jinhua's idea, and Sun didn't want her to know.

After the others retreated, Sun asked, "How are you?"

Qing Lan shook her head, and said impartially: "He has a good appearance, and he is good at coaxing people."

"Oh, this is troublesome." Sun sighed with a headache.

"Ma'am, it's better to make a decision early, lest the second lady get deeper and deeper."

"Yinhua, you have also taught me. You have never been persuaded. Just look at the clothes she has made over the years. I don't even bother to talk about her. The more I talk about it, the more I don't listen. I thought we were going to harm her." Sun Shi complained a few words, thinking to himself what to do.

Qinglan also knew that this matter was difficult, and it was related to Yinhua's reputation, so she didn't want to intervene.But there is one more thing, she thinks she still needs to say, "Xia Fen next to Second Miss really wants to marry her."

"Xia Fen?" Sun frowned, even though she usually didn't care about the affairs of the three sisters' courtyards, she knew that the three maids under Yinhua were the most competitive. "She's about the same age, so she should be sent out to be a matchmaker. I know about this, and when Yinhua goes out in the future, you keep watching, and I'll let other people find his fault."

"I'm afraid that he is now cautious in his words and deeds in front of Second Miss, so that he won't show his feet easily."

"A dog can't stop eating shit. It's fine for a day or two. I don't believe he can endure a month or two." This is Sun's experience after repeatedly failing to restrain Cheng Dashan for drinking.

Qing Lan automatically beautified her plain words in her mind, nodded slightly, confessed a few more words, and left quietly.She didn't say that Jia Zechen was interested in her, and now is not the time.

A day later, Mrs. Sun called all three daughters over and talked about the dowry.Jinhua's dowry has been accumulated for so many years, and there are quite a lot. Mrs. Sun sorted out her things a few days ago, and just packed more than thirty boxes. Counting the dowry from Qin San's side, it is estimated that There are more than fifty units, which is neither good nor bad in the capital.The three daughters help the housekeeper, knowing how much wealth the family has, and preparing more than [-] sets of dowries at home is not treating them poorly. Even Yinhua is embarrassed to ask for more. Some things will marry a daughter-in-law in the future.

When you get married in the countryside, it is good to have a dowry. Now they have more than [-] sets, which is considered a good fortune.

"The three of you are all my daughters. I'm going to say something here today. The total amount of your dowry is the same. There will be five hundred acres of land and two shops. This is the big one. I won't list the others one by one. In detail, 36 units will be installed in total, as for how many units you can have when you go out, it depends on your husband’s dowry, and your own ability.” Then, she looked at Zhuhua, “I know that Ah Zhu I made a lot of money in the pastry shop, if this money is exchanged for a dowry in the future, she will definitely have a few more than you in the future, so don't think about it, thinking that I am subsidizing her in private."

Sun has always treated the three sisters equally, and will not give Zhuhua more benefits just because she takes on more housework.The three sisters also knew in their hearts that it was like Jinhua's Jiji ceremony, because it was the Empress Dowager's funeral at that time, so the family didn't give her a big deal.At that time, Mrs. Sun said that her two younger sisters would not have a wedding ceremony in the future. Even if Jinhua said it was unnecessary, Mrs. Sun still insisted.

"No, mother is always fair, why would we think so." Yinhua said hastily, and then looked at Zhuhua curiously, "Azhu, how much money have you made these years?"

Zhuhua held her head proudly and said, "I won't tell you."

"Okay, dowry is one thing when you get married, and there is the dowry girl. I plan to marry you two girls and a servant. You can choose the person yourself, but you are not allowed to choose the most useful one at home. Walk."

"Mother, Chunlu next to me will not be married as a dowry. She seems to be planning to redeem herself and marry someone else." Chunlu was sold into slavery when her family was desperate at the beginning. Chunlu has been saving money all these years to redeem herself. The cousin who played well with her when she was young is also waiting for her to go back and get married.

"I see, do you have someone in mind for the dowry servant?"

Jin Hua shook her head and said, "It's all up to mother."

"Okay. What about you?" Mrs. Sun looked at Yinhua.

Yinhua hesitated for a moment, feeling that the three maids around her could please her, and she didn't know which two to take away.Seeing her hesitating, Zhuhua almost wanted to roll her eyes, those three girls still didn't take this opportunity to get rid of her, did they really want to dowry and look for trouble?

"Mother, will the dowry girl become a housekeeper in the future?" Zhuhua asked in a timely manner.

"Yes, unless you can control it."

"I can control the few in my room. I know their temperament usually. They don't betray their owners for property, and they never argue with others over trivial matters. If those will cause trouble, I will also I won’t take it with me, lest I lose face when I go to my in-law’s house.”

"You understand. The three under you are honest and honest, unlike those enchanting and enchanting ones, who look like they can climb beds, and usually don't pay attention to their masters."

"But I have to take another look. Maybe the future husband will like someone who is honest. But Qiuyun is about the same age, and she doesn't want to leave the mansion. I just want to ration her to the people in the mansion. When the time comes Her family was married as a dowry."

"It's a good way, I can also choose one to marry the servant, and bring her room over in the future." Yinhua agreed.

"Are they willing?" Zhuhua teased.

"Why not?"

"Go back and ask which of the three of them is willing, and then decide slowly, anyway, it's too early to say. Then see if any of them have already made an agreement outside, or if they are lucky The young master liked them? They were born so fresh, and their clothes are also eye-catching, maybe they have the intention of being concubines." Zhuhua asked with a smile that was not a smile.

"No way, there are still people coming up to be concubines?"

"Sister, have you become stupid when you go to worship Buddha every day? There are many people rushing to be concubines. Is it possible that you haven't heard of it when you go to a banquet? Didn't you mean it last time? There is a family whose dowry girl Duo Miss is so angry that she had a miscarriage?" Zhuhua kept pretending that she didn't know about her private meeting in the temple, and she wasn't afraid to tell her about her going to the temple.

"There is such a thing." Yinhua said sarcastically.

"At that time, you also said that the young lady was so stupid that she couldn't even control a girl. In fact, she is not stupid. The longer you are with the people, the harder it is to see clearly. For example, Xia Fen next to you, do you think she likes to be a girl? Is someone else's concubine still married to a servant and busy all her life?"

Yinhua really didn't dare to boast that Xia Fen would never be a concubine, after all, Xia Fen's normal behavior didn't seem like she was willing to live a poor life with a servant.

"But maybe you don't have to worry about it. I think that girl has peach blossoms on her face these days, and she looks a bit like a girl Huaichun. Second sister, did you meet some handsome youngster when you went to worship Buddha in the temple to make her fall in love with?"

"Don't talk nonsense, she has been by my side and hasn't gone anywhere." Yinhua said with a cold face.

"Yes, I was talking nonsense." Zhuhua admitted her mistake quickly. Her words were actually made up. She didn't know that Xia Fen and Jia Zechen were indeed on the mend, but she always felt that Xia Fen was not a safe person. A young master who can coax others is very likely to be her future master, so it is impossible for her to do nothing.She restrained her face slightly, and pulled Yinhua's sleeve pretending to be confused, "She really doesn't know anyone, so she didn't talk to anyone while you were going to the toilet?"

"No." Yinhua gave her a pale look.

Sun watched silently, not sure if Zhuhua knew something, afterward she found out that she only knew about the private meeting, and she didn't know what happened afterwards, but her guess was reasonable.Mrs. Sun nodded her head, and did not forget to tell her: "Don't be like your sister, and be coaxed away so easily."

"I'm not that stupid. My marriage is all up to my mother. If my mother has someone who looks good, she can tell me, and I will nod if I can pass it."

Mrs. Sun nodded with satisfaction. With the previous two experiences, she believed that she would be able to find a good family for her third daughter.She still doesn't know that Zhuhua's marriage is much more difficult than her two older sisters.
