Chapter 207 Dowry

Zhu Qiaoqiao's style and decorations, the means and strict rules of combining kindness and power can shock some people. Li Qiu is no exception. Every time he comes to the yard and goes into the house, there are two rows of serious women and maids standing there. The quiet needles can be heard, and even the illusion of court officials meeting the emperor.

Zhu Qiaoqiao did not treat him as an outsider in her heart, but she was as steady and arrogant as she was when facing any servant. Li Qiu didn't care and stood up honestly, telling her own affairs and Xu Rong's affairs.

Zhu Qiaoqiao laughed as soon as she heard this and said with a smile: "Oh! You are not alone, you are the same as yours. It turns out that my things are all yours? You will take them with you, your master and servant, right?"

Li Qiu smiled embarrassedly, and didn't dare to say anything with a smile. Zhu Qiaoqiao thought about it and said to Sixi: "Forget it, let's use the Burmese jade jewelry that Ningxue gave me during the Chinese New Year to give him, and it's just like borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

Li Qiu was overjoyed and thanked him. Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled disdainfully and said, "I have heard of that girl from Pearl. She is a very good child. She originally wanted to let her come to me to do things, but she forgot about what you have been busy with. You picked up a bargain. She looked like she was not as good as Qingwen and the others, but she was also a rare little girl. She will treat her well in the future, otherwise I would not obey her."

Li Qiu smiled and said, "Yes, the younger one must treat her well."

Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered: "Don't talk too much. You know that there was a conflict between the Pearl family and the Wang family, so you have nothing to say to me? You just think about your girl Xiaoyue?"

Li Qiu was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said suddenly: "Thank you for your kindness, grandma. I really don't know how to thank you for your old age. Oh, grandma, you are so good."

"You are smart." Zhu Qiaoqiao finally changed into a smile, and felt very helpful. She looked at Li Qiu's excited expression and said with a smile: "Your mother-in-law and family are going to Beijing in the future. The matter of handling the empty courtyard will naturally be left to you. In the future, I will support my family. If we say ugly things ahead, I will dare to treat my people badly, but I will suffer some of them."

"I remember it." Li Qiu swore with confidence, but he felt very up and down. Unexpectedly, the eldest grandmother took the opportunity to bring the pearl family over. Now it was so miserable. Grandma above suppressed the fierce mother-in-law below and stared at her family. She might be afraid of her wife's life in the future.

Later, Li Qiu took the wooden box and left. Zhu Qiaoqiao thought about Xu Rong's affairs, gave Sanxi a few instructions to order her to go to the garden.

Sanxi walked all the way through the hall and arrived at Jiangxuezhai. He saw more than a dozen maids gathered together from afar, all of whom were around the eldest lady and the second lady. It seemed that the two ladies were here.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Sanxi shouted first, then smiled at Soru who was standing outside: "I have seen Grandma Rong. I pay my respects to Grandma."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Xiaoyue was shocked. She thought about something every day and dreamed about it. She blushed and stomped her feet hard, lowered her head and hurried into the room.

Sanxi felt a little reckless. She smiled without changing her face and said, "Just just kidding. What are you doing? The two girls are in the house?"

Qingwen, who was surrounded by maids, narrowed her eyes thoughtfully and sneered, "Everyone is begging to come in. It turns out that some people are determined to fly out. pack up and leave quickly. No one is allowed to keep her."

Sanxi complained secretly, walked over and said seriously: "It's the big grandma who wants to go over, it has nothing to do with her."

"You don't need to explain." Qingwen sneered: "Since Young Master Rong from the porch outside brought people in, that girl was distracted all day long. Do we all be blind? You might as well take the people away quickly."

Sanxi had long heard that Qingwen was so powerful that she was unforgivable. Today, she saw that she was indeed worthy of her reputation. She was the most favored girl next to the third young master, so she couldn't bother with her. She smiled and asked, "What are you all talking about? Tell me too."

Qingwen has always been inappropriate to things. She thought Xiaoyue had a crush on the young master outside, and she was disgusted and had no prejudice against Sanxi. So she smiled and said, "Seeing that the two girls are going to get married next year, the sisters can't sit still. They all want to stay and don't want to be dowry girls."

Sanxi nodded in understanding and sighed: "I advise you to save your thoughts. How can we decide this? Just like when I was named and came with my grandmother's dowry, isn't it because I felt wronged and reluctant to let go, and I came here when I came. Isn't it still a life?"

Lu Cui, the maid in Xu Qinglian's room, said dissatisfied: "That's not the case. Who wouldn't be happy if you marry from the cold northwest to the south of the Yangtze River? Unlike us, we want to go from Jinling to the colder Peiping. After all, our family is the one who is the one who is in the Duke's Mansion, but there are hereditary thousand-household families guarding the border. People often die on the battlefield. A family of widows are so eccentric that they are more than ten times different. When they think about leaving this garden, they feel so uncomfortable."

Sanxi said, "That's right, I can't help this anymore. I'll help Wanru clean up and lead her and meet my big grandma."

Qingwen glanced at Sanxi who entered the house and said, "See you, you will be vacant after leaving. You can think of a solution quickly. Whoever comes in will be her fate."

At the same time, Xu Qinglian sat next to her mother and said, "The girls are very worried recently, and no one wants to leave home. Mother, I just need to take two houses with me, and there is no need to mobilize everyone."

Xiao immediately said angrily: "How can that be? A joke, is it time for the servants to decide?"

Xu Qinglian advised: "If you are unwilling to do so, you will complain all over your body. Why bother each other? Now that your family is kind to the people below, your life is comfortable, and you will never be willing to leave your hometown."

Xiao couldn't help but complain: "It's all your brother who is used to it. In this way, let him have a headache when he comes back. On one hand, he is his own sister and on the other hand, his servants, what should he choose when he sees him."

Xu Qinglian said goodbye to her mother and came out of the house alone. Recently, in addition to the personal girl serving in her letters, the servants in the yard were hiding from her intentionally or unintentionally, which made her feel depressed because she was about to leave her relatives with her marriage.

Xu Qinglian, who was very lonely, walked slowly along the corridor, not wanting to return to her residence, and walked aimlessly ahead.

Suddenly, Cui Tao came here alone. The two of them looked at each other from afar and smiled bitterly.

When they got close, Xu Cuitao said, "My grandmother has set a date for marriage. People below think there are few and deserted people there. They are all eunuchs who are not yin and yang, which makes me feel uncomfortable. I really want to regret the marriage."

Xu Qinglian put away her feelings and frowned and said, "The two families are close at hand, and it is very convenient to get along. However, at this time, you cannot say anything you regret, as it will make the elders unhappy when they hear it."

Xu Cuitao curled his lips and said, "I thought the princess's son was noble and decent, but after I asked, I realized that it was just Er'er, just a scholar who was stronger than ordinary people. The Li family's fortunes are different from the present and the past, and he has brothers and sisters-in-law. After marrying, he probably wasn't even as good as our housekeeper. Finally, he was closer to home and could come and live for a few days at any time, and he felt better."

Xu Qinglian sighed softly and said without saying anything. Seeing this, Xu Cuitao said pitifully: "You are far away from Peking and a martial artist in the Zhang family. I really don't know how you live in the future. The third brother is so cruel. He wants to let the good family in the capital who is well-educated and well-off, and he insists on sending you to a bitter and cold place."

Xu Qinglian said, "Hao'er has put his heart into it. I think that he is the best among the younger generation of the Yan Prince's Mansion. He is both civil and military talented, resolute and square. He is far from being a playboy in the capital. He can marry such a good man. What else is there to be dissatisfied? Isn't that talented, honest, kind and ambitious? In this regard, Hao'er will never cause you and my sisters to suffer losses. No matter how good the family background is, he will not agree to the marriage. Don't you believe in Hao'er's vision?"

Xu Cuitao said melancholy: "I hope so. In short, as soon as we get married, we are always worried about gains and losses and thinking about things."

"Who isn't?" Xu Qinglian held Xu Cuiliu's hand and said as she walked: "Don't force the servants who don't want to leave. You and I will marry the chicken and follow the chicken, serve our husbands wholeheartedly, respect our parents-in-law, and be fair in their work. Who dares to blame us? It's not like to fight for anything, why should we bring so many of our family to a strong momentum? It's not that everyone in the family can't live in peace, why bother!"

The two sisters discussed this and let go of their words at night, and only chose two houses to dowry. The news came out that many people were relieved, and everyone praised the girl for being kind and kind.

Generally speaking, everything must have positive and negative sides. Some people don’t want to leave, so there are naturally some people who want to leave. Similar to the family of the most close maid around the girl, she has become more determined to be dowry. In the eyes of these families, instead of waiting for the girl to stay in the Xu family after getting married, it is better to follow the past and become the most trusted family of the future wife. There are many benefits!

In addition, some depressed and unsuccessful families also began to think about it. The fewer families were dowrying, the more they had the chance to be trusted and used by the girls. Therefore, they ran to the wife to act like a loyal servant and had to follow her.

Xiao made a quick decision to communicate with the eldest wife, and soon the list of dowry was settled. To everyone's expectations, the family that voluntarily followed the eldest lady was actually more than 30 people, and there were as many as ten families and nearly 60 people willing to leave with Xu Cuitao, which shocked the entire Xu family.

It turns out that after asking, I found out that the reason why the second wife left willingly was mostly because she believed in the third young master's choice. It turned out that Xu Hao was willing to turn against the whole family for the marriage between his elder sister and Zhang Fu. This matter had been analyzed clearly by the following people later. Since the young master valued the Zhang family in Peking so much, I believe that the future of my son-in-law will definitely be limitless.

There is never a shortage of smart people who are good at speculation in this world. People in the second house know that people at home are in a state of fluctuations recently and don’t want to leave. So when will they not follow the eldest lady at this moment? With this, the young master will definitely remember it in his heart. The relatives who stay in the family will be looked up to, and their family has become the eldest lady’s confidant, which is a killer.

Even if you regret it in the future, you can ask the young master to return to his hometown. Isn’t it a piece of cake for the young master?

Xu Cuitao was speechless. Compared to the second house volunteering, the family was swept out like a beggar. To the second grandma's words, the Xu family did not keep lazy people.
