Ruoyi took the sachet, her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "It's so cute." ”Su Ruying took a look, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.The gift that Shen gave to Ruoyi was exactly the same as theirs, the same sachet, but the embroidery on it was different, their sachet was embroidered with various precious flowers, and Ruoyi's sachet was embroidered with a cat fluttering cicada; There are silver flowers under their sachets, and Ruoyi's sachets are decorated with silver cicadas, the silver cicadas with large fingernails are lifelike, and the lightness of the cicada wings is vividly expressed, no wonder the fifth sister likes it at a glance.This second sister-in-law is really a person with a delicate heart.Ruo Yi stroked the string of silver cicadas, couldn't put it down, and praised it repeatedly: "I like it very much." ”These words came from the heart, and they were not mixed with water at all.Shen's face flushed a little, and he gently pulled down his sleeves, revealing the jade bracelet, "This one is also very beautiful, I like it too." ”Seriously, she just played a trick.Such a small silver cicada is not worth a few dollars, but it just took a little more money and thought, and the value is not even one-fiftieth of this jade bracelet.Especially when she hesitated, she whispered, "I prefer that jade plate." ”She could see that the bracelet and the jade plate should be opened on a piece of jade, and the fifth sister gave these two things to her as a gift, whether it was the suggestion of the people around the fifth sister, or the fifth sister's own choice, it can be seen that the fifth sister's mind.She reciprocates the favor, she understands that.What's more, the family told her early on that the fifth sister is simply ignorant of the world, but she doesn't have a bad heart, even if the fifth sister doesn't do something thoroughly, let her not care.She is a sister-in-law, and it is as she should protect her sister."
Jade Pai'er."
Ruoyi's eyes lit up, and she glanced back at Su Jundan, and sure enough, she saw the jade plate on Su Jundan's waist, and she smiled happily: "It's a couple." ”At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Su Jundan's waist in an uproar, and they all saw a jade plate with the same texture as Shen's bracelet.Su Junfan suddenly lengthened his voice: "Oh, it turned out to be a couple." ”Su Jundan's face immediately turned red to the root of his ears, and he hurriedly grabbed the jade plaque with his hand to cover it.Su Junchen couldn't help but quip: "Don't cover it up, look at it, the fifth sister's gift is better than ours." ”Shen was generous, "Thank you, Fifth Sister." ”Old General Su looked at Su Jundan like that, afraid that he would not be able to stand it and blame the Shen family, "Okay, Jundan, you take the Shen family to the main courtyard to give your grandmother a snort." ”Su Jundan responded, and hurriedly took Shen Shi away, the action was so fast, as if a wolf was chasing after him, and it caused everyone in the hall to snicker.The newcomer left, the room full of people was fine, the juniors all retired and dispersed, and the old general Su and the patriarch called Su Junshi to go back to the study together to discuss the current situation.Ruoyi followed Su Ruying out of the flower hall, Su Ruying glanced at Ruoyi's stomach and said, "It's going to be a while before lunch, you plan to let me accompany you to Wufu Juli to rest for a while, and you go to my room to sit for a while." ”Ruoyi's eyes circled, and he thought of some azaleas in the back garden that had not been taken care of in the corners, and said, "Fourth sister, leave me alone, I'll go to the back garden by myself for a while." ”"Nope."
Su Ruying categorically refused: "Grandfather can say, I have to watch you, if you leave my sight today, I will definitely sue my grandfather, and the second sister will leave the cabinet in a few days, and my grandfather is afraid that he will not let you enter the house again to see the excitement." ”"Fourth sister" Ruoyi pouted and coquettish.Su Ruying was unmoved: "Absolutely not" She is very firm in this, and she will never compromise in her last life, the fifth sister fell into the water because of her mistakes, and she had no children in her life.Ruoyi saw that Su Ruying couldn't move, so he had to die: "Okay, then let's go back to Wufuju." ”There are many people around her, the fourth sister is small, and it is inconvenient to go, and everything in Wufu Ju is still the same, she is more used to it.They just sat down in Wufuju, and before they had a sip of tea, Zao'er hurriedly came in and reported: "County lord, the third lady seems to be coming this way." ”She originally planned to go to the small kitchen to get snacks for Ruoyi, but when she saw the third lady, she hurried over to report the news.Ruoyi looked at Su Ruying suspiciously: "The third aunt came to find me something" Su Ruying's eyes moved, and at this time, the third aunt came over, I was afraid that it was for the marriage of the second sister.And the third aunt didn't mention it when she was in the flower hall before, and now she has made a special trip to find the fifth sister, but I'm afraid that this matter has to be done behind someone's back.Outside the house, the voice of the little girl and the Zou family could already be heard.Su Ruying hurriedly said, "Don't say I'm here." ”With that, she flashed into the inner room with lotus leaves.She wants to see what the third aunt wants to do behind someone's back to find her fifth sister.Before Ruoyi could react, Aunt Zhu quickly put away Su Ruying's teacup on the table, and moved the position where Su Ruying had sat by the way.After the Zou family came in, there was no trace of Su Ruying's stay in the hall at all.Ruoyi got up, "Third aunt." ”Zou looked at Ruoyi, the look on his face was a little hesitant, and finally he was firm, "Fifth aunt and grandmother, don't be polite, I'm looking for you, I want to find the fifth aunt and grandmother to help you with something." ”Ruoyi didn't go around in circles: "Aunt San, let's see if I can help." ”Zou said: "The fifth aunt must be able to help, it just depends on whether the fifth aunt is willing to help."
Fifth aunt and grandmother, you won't be unwilling to help, it's not to help me, it's to help your second sister, look at your second sister's good treatment to you in the past, you won't be so unkind. ”Hearing this, Aunt Zhu on Ruoyi's side and Su Ruying in the room were stunned, this Zou family came prepared, and what was outside the words was to press Ruoyi to let go of his promise.Su Ruying hesitated, gently pushed open the window, and beckoned to Pomegranate, who was sitting under the porch guarding the tea stove: "If you want to find a way to invite your grandfather over, you will say that the fifth sister is willful." ”No matter what the third aunt thinks, only her grandfather can suppress it.Pomegranate called Guo Yangu to look at the tea stove, pretended to take things and walked around the courtyard gate, looking at the figure outside the door, she went around again, and went out from the side over the wall, Su Ruying quietly returned to the door to eavesdrop.Outside, Ruoyi was not dazzled by Zou's affectionate words, she relented and promised to help, insisting on knowing what was going on first: "Grandfather said that a gentleman's words are difficult for four horses to chase, so you can't just agree to other people's requests."
The third aunt has to tell me what is the matter first. ”Zou said some more about the past, but Ruoyi still didn't let go.Zou was a little annoyed: "Fifth sister, we have really been very thin with you over the years, much stronger than the Wu family to you, in the past, eating, drinking, and playing, they were all worried about giving you a copy, and the second sister was still protecting you everywhere when she went out, and now that you are standing on Gao Zhi'er, you really turned your face and were ruthless yesterday, I just want you to say a few more good words for the second sister in front of the eldest princess, the second sister is afraid that you will be embarrassed, so if you don't stop me, I will just do it. ”Ruoyi was also a little annoyed: "You have to say something first, and how to deal with what you can't do."
If I respond first, and I can't do it, I won't be annoyed in the end" Zou Shi couldn't make sense, so he had to take a step back: "I just want to borrow something from you." ”Ruoyi asked: "What to borrow" Zou glanced at Aunt Zhu with some concern, and opened this mouth in front of Aunt Zhu, she felt that her face was gloomy, but she also knew that the things of the fifth sister must be kept by the two aunts, and they couldn't hide it.She was ruthless and said, "In a few days, your second sister will get married, and she will enter the door with Miss Meng Si."
That Meng Si is the daughter of the Meng family, and she is deeply favored by the Queen Mother.Her dowry will certainly be much richer than that of your second sister.Fifth sister, you won't watch your second sister being laughed at. ”Okay, when it comes to this, not to mention Su Ruying and Aunt Zhu, Ruoyi also understood: "The third aunt is here to borrow how much I want to borrow the dowry" Zou thought about it all night last night, and he already had an approximate amount in his heart.The marriage rules of the Su family are still the amount set by Mrs.
Lu at the beginning, and the daughter-in-law will pay two thousand taels, and the rest will be subsidized by each room itself.She mentioned it euphemistically to the old lady, but the old lady thought that the second sister was married high, and made up another 2,000 taels, and she divided half of her dowry to the second sister.In this way, it is only eight thousand taels.This is asking the second sister to marry an ordinary family, and the dowry of eight thousand taels and sixty-two lifts is already very rich.If there is no ordinary wife of Miss Meng Si, the dowry of sixty-two lifts into the eldest princess's mansion is not rich, but it is also passable.But now the wife and wife enter the mansion at the same time, but I am afraid that the dowry on both sides will go around the city, and the makeup will have to be laid in the eldest princess's mansion for people to enjoy.If the second sister's dowry is too far from the Meng family, how will the second sister be able to raise her head in the eldest princess's mansion in the future, how can she take it, and how will she go out to socialize.But under the toss of Mrs.
Lu, the General's Mansion is almost an empty shelf, and there is no place to come to the silver, and there is no place to borrow it if you want to.Finally, I thought of Ruoyi's dowry of one hundred and eighty-eight taels, worth sixty thousand taels.One hundred and eighty-eight lifts, pick some good ones to borrow forty-six to carry over, and make up one hundred and eight lifts, even if it can't suppress the Meng family, it is also unreasonable.Zou finally spoke, "Borrow forty-six lifts." ”"Then why don't you go and grab it" Wu raised the curtain and came in with a cold face.Zou was stunned, she really didn't think that the Wu family, who almost didn't enter Wufuju, would break into the pomegranate before leaving the yard, but she met the Wu family first, she had an idea, and when she went to meet the Wu family, she deliberately said that she leaked her mouth: "The third lady came to find the county lord to help, and the slave maid went to the big kitchen to have some snacks." ”The Wu family is not stupid, the Zou family has been having a headache for the second sister's dowry these days, and at this time, when I went to find the fifth sister, I was afraid that it was still a dowry.She was a little anxious, so she rushed over in a hurry, and before she entered the door, she heard the words "forty-six lifts".Wu said angrily: "Zou, you are too black-hearted, the dowry is the foundation of a married girl's life, you actually beat the idea of the fifth sister's dowry, this is going to be spread, you can't even afford to marry a girl, you still need to borrow a dowry, you are asking the second sister to have a little face" These words made Zou's face directly white, and she also defended: "It's not really wanted, it's just borrowing some to come over."
When you lift it, you look good, and then you will find an opportunity to secretly send it back to the fifth sister, who will know. ”Wu sneered twice: "That's simple, stuff some cheap and old things under the box, put some good ones on the top, and empty under the box, one lift to make two loads, who will know."
Not to mention those things that I want from the fifth sister.Moving back and forth, you don't have to worry about it" Zou didn't think of this method, but when the dowry was exposed, some people would look through it, in case they saw that the bottom was empty, or the quality of the things below was too poor, but they would lose face.What she thinks is that she will use the dowry of the fifth sister to fill her face, and if she pays it back in the future, she will not know it, is it difficult for anyone to stare at the things in the second sister's dowry every day.Wu Shi didn't give up: "It's easy to enter the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but I'm afraid that it will be carried out, but it's not easy."
Don't drag it out one day at a time, one year at a time, and in the end, this matter will be over. ”These words were like knives, and they poked into Zou's heart again."
That" Ruo Yi got up and was just about to speak, but Wu glanced over, "You don't understand, don't interject." ”She quickly looked away and said to Aunt Zhu: "She is not sensible, and my aunt doesn't understand how to agree to this kind of thing, and my aunt doesn't stop her" "I don't blame my aunt for this." ”Ruoi protects short.Aunt Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "The old slave didn't expect the third lady to come over to discuss this, but before she could speak, the second lady came." ”She turned to look at the Zou family, and said, "Third lady, the second girl was personally selected by the eldest princess, and she will definitely pity the second girl."
How could the Meng family girl step on the face of the second girl.If you really borrow the dowry from the county lord, it will be a bad thing.The dowry of the county lord was handled by the eldest princess herself, and after the purpose, she was recognized by the eldest princess when she saw something, but she was afraid that "Zou suddenly understood what Aunt Zhu did not say thoroughly, as if she had been slapped in the face.She really forgot that the eldest princess took care of the dowry of the fifth sister herself.If the eldest princess finds out that there are five sisters' things in the second sister's dowry, then it is estimated that the eldest princess's last pity for the second sister will disappear, and the second sister will not even have a foothold at that time."
Mother, mother" Su Ruli shouted all the way and rushed in, she was relieved to see that Wu was also there.There is a second aunt, and the mother should not have said those words, but when she learned from Wenyue's mouth, she almost fainted.borrowed the dowry, and the mother figured it out.She hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zou's arm: "Mother, it turns out that you are here, I have something to do with you." ”She smiled at Ruoyi again: "Fifth sister, then let's go first." ”Su Ruli didn't wait for Zou and Ruoyi to answer, so she dragged Zou away half-pulled and half-dragged.Aunt Zhu looked at the backs of Zou and Su Ruli, and said lightly: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." ”Wu's face turned pale, and he dropped a sentence: "I also have something." ”also left in a hurry.t1706231537:
