Chapter 53 Dowry List
Before Chen Muqing finished speaking, several people had changed color.
Ningbi even said in a silence: "One hundred taels? Do the girl want to take one hundred taels of silver to marry Zhuji?"
Chen Muqing nodded: "For these 100 taels, leave fifty taels for her to make a box of silver. For the rest, buy her things - don't use my old things. Once in a lifetime, it must be lively." As he said that, he got up and opened the box, took two ingots of fifty taels of snowflakes and handed them to Yingfen: "Please keep the money in your hands, and you will keep the account."
Luo Mei and others were a little moved. Ying Fan wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled, "I'm not a good deal. The girl clearly knows that I want to comb myself, but she still gives up the private money like this. She obviously wants to cheat me."
Chen Muqing knew that Yingfen was looking at the sentimental atmosphere in the room and made jokes with herself. Naturally, she cooperated with Yingfen and said, "Yes, if you really have to comb yourself, I don't have to give this hundred taels of silver. The three-handed rituals of children's washing, the money for schooling, and the red envelopes for getting married in the future... You can do this for me."
Yingfen screamed strangely: "No, no. Girl, please share the money at this time!"
Luo Mei and Mingxia both burst into laughter.
Only Ningbi looked at Chen Muqing very seriously and said, "Girl, can we really comb ourselves?"
Everyone looked at Ningbi sympathetically.
Chen Muqing sighed and said seriously: "Whether you or Yingfen, you don't have to put this self-combed on your mouth. A person's life is still growing, we must have the confidence to live until 80 years old. If there is no suitable one, you will stay by my side. If there is a suitable one, you will marry. Don't worry, I will not marry you casually."
Luo Mei, Yingfen, and Ningbi all nodded seriously, but Mingxia's eyes drooped down her eyelids.
Chen Muqing thought that Mingxia had been taking care of Jinxiu with all her heart, and then Chen Zhen's promise to her, and said, "Mingxia, you go and see Jinxiu tomorrow. She wants to go to Mr. Min's side, yes, but the most important thing is to keep your body well. Otherwise, I will have the opportunity to send her over. Could it be that Mr. Min will take care of her?"
Mingxia's eyes lit up and she choked and called "Girl".
Chen Muqing slightly held his jaw: "I will help you with some things, and you must work harder yourself."
"Girl, don't worry, Jinxiu will be fine." Mingxia hurriedly assured Chen Muqing.
Luo Mei and Mingxia also showed gratitude.
Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When they first entered Chen Mansion, Zhuji, who was unfamiliar with the place, silent but gentle, gave them selfless care. This may be the initial cornerstone of their friendship. But there are too many temptations on the road of life... I just hope that this deep relationship between them can be maintained forever...
She shook her head and temporarily threw these feelings behind her. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's not go out of the question - today is to discuss Zhuji's affairs!" Everyone laughed.
Yingfen even urged Ningbi: "Tell me quickly, what do we have to buy for Sister Zhuji?"
After all, they are all little girls. Zhuji, who is like sisters, get married, and they are happy for her, and their joy will naturally be revealed in their words and deeds.
Ningbi smiled and said, "There are a pair of small and small boxes, a pair of boxes for small items, a washbasin, a foot basin, a grandchildren's basin, a styla oil lamp, a full set of tea sets, two sets of thirty-six bowls, two sets of nine or twelve boxes, one of each of them, and there are also vases, tea bottles, tea cans, fruit boxes, oil boxes, spit boxes, mirror support, large and small scissors, red and green feather dusters..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Chen Muqing hurriedly waved his hand, "Make a list, make a list!"
Yingfen covered her mouth and smiled: "Girls have to make a list of everything they do."
This is a habit developed after work.
Chen Muqing looked stern: "Follow me to learn skills, but I still dislike everything!"
Ningbi looked at Chen Muqing nervously, and saw that there was a smile in her eyes. Yingfen, Luomei and Mingxia were not afraid at all. Only then did she realize that Chen Muqing was playing with Yingfen's flower gun.
She couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Since she arrived in Shen Mansion, she had meat every meal. Not only did she start to grow up, but her menstrual affairs that had been unstable had come on the same day. The maternal mom in the girl's yard also reported this to Mother Wang for this matter... She was so scared that she was scared by the changes in her body. She not only comforted her, but also gave her a pack of brown sugar, and told her what to do... At that time, she felt sorry for the Shen family. So when she saw the girl was embarrassed, she couldn't help but say a few more words. Unexpectedly, the girl was also a shrewd person, and immediately found that she was wrong... and almost implicated Yingfen, who had been teaching them rules seriously... Fortunately, the girl was kind-hearted and several sisters also pleaded for her, otherwise she really didn't know what to do in the future.
Now seeing Yingfen and Shen Muqing talking and laughing like sisters, Ningbi is very envious.
Treat girls sincerely and sisters sincerely. One day, I will be able to talk and laugh with them!
Thinking of this, Ningbi showed a long-lost smile.
Yingfen and Mingxia laughed at Chen Muqing.
Luo Mei had her own concerns. She advised Chen Muqing: "Miss, you have to pay tribute to your wife early tomorrow morning, so let Yingfen and the others prepare a list here. You should take a break early!"
Chen Muqing thought, too, the order was drawn up and the purchase was about to start. There might be more things tomorrow. She nodded and said, "Luomei, please rest with me, let Yingfen plan the order three times. When the order is drawn to the wife, we can start buying things."
Several people nodded one after another, Luo Mei went to serve Chen Muqing and rest.
Yingfen pulled Ningbi: "You should be careful and don't miss anything. This order is for the wife to try to get the purpose of this order."
Mingxia gave an idea: "Or, I'll go to find Li's mother... She has presided over this before..."
Yingfen "spit" her: "Aunt Chen is now using Xianglian's little hoof and staring at us every day. Don't backfire."
*******
Early the next morning, Chen Muqing rushed three people to sleep with panda eyes, and he and Luo Mei took the drafted list and went to Li's place.
After asking for peace for Li, Chen Muqing took out the list.
Wang’s mother attended Li’s study: “……A pair of three-star porcelain statues of Fulu Shou and Shou; a pair of tin wax skewers; a pair of tin oil lamps; a pair of bonsai with glass cover; a pair of large porcelain dusters, red and green feather dusters…”
Li listened and laughed "Puchi": "Even the color of the feather duster is written?"
The people who served in the room also laughed with Li.
Chen Muqing said aggrievedly: "Is this feather duster worthless? I have to use the money, and I have to be in the clear place!"
"You little money fan," Li pointed at her forehead, "Who does this look like!"
Chen Muqing laughed and sat down next to Li.
But Mother Wang said on the side: "Of course she looks like a wife!"
Li raised his eyebrows, and Mother Wang had already taken the order to show Li: "Look, look, what should be bought and what should not be bought in one night, all are clearly drawn up. You are used to being the head of the house. I think, you just do it yourself, and it is not as quick as a girl." After saying that, he looked at Aunt Chen who was standing behind Li intentionally or unintentionally.
Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, obviously agreeing with Wang's mother's words.
When the Dashe came to treat An, after breakfast, Li kept Chen Muqing and spoke.
"... Luomei and Zhuji have been with you for several years. But the trees are divided into branches and people are separated. They can't always accompany you. Now Zhuji has married Baimu and can continue to serve you, but some people may not have this blessing, and this is also fate..."
Chen Muqing felt a little nervous when he heard this.
Could it be that Li wants to marry someone around her? Yesterday, she defeated Li with the help of Manager Zhou. If she still defeated Li today, she would be considered a mother and daughter disagree... Thinking of this, she felt a little anxious and smiled and tested Li: "Isn't it enough to marry Luo Mei and his family in the future."
"It is naturally good to marry someone at home. But if there is something better, we can't stop you, don't you?"
Chen Muqing simply said, "Who does the wife want to marry outside?"
Li smiled and said, "The master said that there is no one serving person in Mr. Min. I saw Jinxiu being gentle and girl Hong is good, so I wanted to send her over..."
It turns out that's the matter!
It seems that the master had already explained Li's lesson last night.
Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that another piece of stone pressing on his heart was missing. She smiled and said, "Madam is scaring me so much. I thought you were going to marry Luo Mei or Yingfen outside! When you go to Mr. Min, it is naturally no different from your family!"
Seeing that Chen Muqing was naive in speaking, Li hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Mu Qing, Jinxiu is going to be a maid for Mr. Min."
Chen Muqing was stunned: "Mr. Min, did he agree?"
Li smiled and said, "Although I haven't said it yet, he can't disagree with such a beauty!"
In the flash of lightning, Chen Muqing suddenly understood.
Mr. Min and Shen Zhen are actually dependent on each other. Chen Zhen needs the support of the Min family's children, while Mr. Min needs Chen Zhen to help him go further in his career. Sending Jin Xiu is no longer a question of whether he is beautiful or not, or whether he likes or not, but an attitude...
She couldn't help but say, "Then, Mr. Min's wife..."
"We still understand this rule." Li smiled, "It's not time to send it here. The master will write a letter to ask the Min family's meaning first. Taking this opportunity, Jinxiu also needs to learn the rules. Even in the past, it's time for the beginning of next spring... Mr. Min's fame should be obtained..."
Although Chen Zhen gave Jinxiu for his own plans, he might have chosen Jinxiu as his favor. And Jinxiu can have such an ending, it can be regarded as seeking benevolence and seeking righteousness.
