In order to prevent old lady Shen from doing things, Shen Xiao refused to let her count the dowry on the grounds of her discomfort. Instead, she asked Mrs. Meng to accompany Mrs. Zhou to count the dowry one by one according to the list given by Mr. Pan.
It's ok if you don't check. When you check it out, Shen Xiao is angry and angry. He's so ashamed that he can't go to see the old master pan.
Half that! Not to mention the good farmland that has been sold for thousands of mu, only the treasures, antiques and jewelry in the storehouse have lost more than half of them. If we add the sold fields and shops, it's really
Shen Xiao was too angry to speak.
He knew that his mother was a little greedy, and also knew that she did not like Pan Jiaojiao, but he did not expect that the old lady would do this. It was not like the work of a respected old man, like an old shrew who was greedy on the street!
I don't know whether old pan will promise him to take money to make up the treasures that he can't redeem, and the fields that he has to buy.
Shen Xiao comes to see Mr. Pan guiltily.
Mr. Pan is having dinner with two grandsons. He has lived in Shen's house for two days. Except for meeting when he first arrived in the capital, he has not seen Mrs. Shen again in these two days.
It's not that Mr. Pan doesn't want to. It's Mrs. Shen who claims that she is unwell and unfit to see guests. Mr. Pan didn't disturb her.
Anyway, he had two grandchildren with him, but he was more relaxed.
"Grandpa, you can taste this steamed duck with wine. It's a specialty of our capital city. I like it. There's also Longjing shrimp. You can't eat too much shrimp. It's high in cholesterol. Try rose tofu and lotus root..." There was only Shen ziqiao's voice in the hall. It was too late to hear what she was talking about. The small bowl in front of him was full of food.
Old pan looked at a large table of dishes, shook his head and said, "it turned out to be a snack."
Shen Zikai laughed, "my grandfather saw that Jiao Jiao was just a foodie. Where there is delicious food in the capital city, she is indispensable."
"What? I usually can't bear to eat such a good one. It's not my grandfather who has come, but I've sent someone to buy it. Grandpa, please try it." Shen ziqiao is coquetting to please old master pan.
After these two days of getting along, Shen ziqiao knows about who old master pan is.
Smart and introverted, optimistic and bright, it is a very easy to get along with the old man, the most important thing is really good to her and her brother.
That's enough. She began to look forward to the day of going to East Vietnam.
Even if uncle and aunt are difficult to deal with, they are better than Shen family. She can't bear to think of Chen Xueling's life after she enters the door.
"Here comes the great master." Seeing Shen Xiao's figure coming outside, the red tassel, who was serving on one side, whispered back.
The bright smile on Shen ziqiao's face gathered. To Shen Xiao, she complained in her heart, not that he would marry again. It was inhumane to let a man who was not 40 years old be widowed for his wife. She just felt that Shen Xiao should not marry Chen Xueling.
If he really loves pan and treats his children well, he will not marry a Chen Xueling.
Can't he see that Chen Xueling was specially arranged by old lady Shen and Zhou? Chen Xueling came out with Pan's bracelet before she came in and looked down upon Pan's family background. Would she target her and her brother in the future?
No, Shen Xiao knows, but if he wants to be a filial son, he can only sacrifice her and his brother.
"Shi Xiu, it's just the right time. Have you had lunch? Let's eat together. These are all prepared by this snack. " Said old pan with a smile.
Shen Xiao sat down and looked up at Shen ziqiao and Shen Zikai.
Brother and sister stood up and saluted, "father."
The attitude is not as good as before.
"Father, I'm here I have something to tell you. " Shen Xiao looked at old master pan in embarrassment. He couldn't talk about the dowry.
Mr. Pan looked at him with a smile, as if he could see through what he wanted to say, "the dowry has been counted?"
Shen Xiao nodded and smiled awkwardly. "It's all counted. This is the key of the library. Give it to Jiao Jiao first."
"That's all right?" The old master pan asked that if he could return the things that had been put in the old lady for ten years, he wrote in reverse pan.
"Less Father, look, can you make up the poor ones with silver? For so many years, sometimes the family needs allowance, so... " Shen Xiao faltered and could hardly speak.
Mr. Pan looked at his son-in-law calmly. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Shi Xiu, you are really good to my two grandchildren these years. I appreciate your treating Hua'er's children like this, but you have no real intention. It's OK for Kai'er to follow you to the barracks. What about Jiao Jiao? What do you know about your daughter? "
Shen Xiao is speechless. He doesn't seem to know much about Jiao Jiao.
"Well, now that they're all grown up, it's useless to talk more. Old lady Shen killed my granddaughter. Fortunately, she didn't really teach them badly." Old master Pan said lightly, "if you are short of dowry, you will return it to Jiao Jiao with silver. You can't live without my granddaughter.""Good!" Shen Xiao said.
Old master pan took a look at him and said, "if you want to marry again, my pan family is not qualified to say no. however, let's put the scandal first. When a new man enters the door, she can't be the parent of my two grandsons. No one can force kaige'er and Jiaojiao to marry anyone unless they like."
Shen Xiao immediately agreed, "yes, I will ask my father to make the decision in the future."
"Now that you agree, I have nothing to say." Said Mr. Pan.
Shen ziqiao looked at the old man who came to the capital specially for her, and suddenly his eyes were hot with emotion.
With the help of the old man, what else can she worry about?
……
……
Shen Xiao took a whole third of the Shen family's property out to fill in Pan's dowry.
Shen ziqiao took the key of the library and went to check it with ruby and Meng Niangzi. He was almost blinded by the valuable treasures.
She is really rich and beautiful now.
"Now, miss three, I've got what I want." Meng Niangzi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said excitedly that she would be glad to see her in heaven.
It's so hard to get back. With these dowries, she can live comfortably even if she doesn't marry in her life.
"It seems that some shops in East Street have also been brought back. Let's go and have a look sometime." Shen ziqiao said.
Yesterday, she told Shen Xiao that she wanted to go back to Dongyue with Mr. Pan. She wanted to visit her grandmother and say hello to her.
This is a good reason. Shen Xiao has no reason to disagree. He only wants Shen ziqiao to go to East Vietnam. He doesn't want to make any nonsense. He wants to listen to his grandmother and let her come back early.
If there were not a lot of things to be solved in the capital, she would not have come back.
At least we should take all the things pan left to her. It can't be cheap at all. It's just that the time is short. She has no detailed plan, and she can't scare others. So she can only bear it first until she knows the road well.
"Let's go to East Street and see how about the shops we just received." Shen ziqiao clapped his hands and said smilingly that he would go to inspect the shop tomorrow. After seeing all the shops, he would be able to leave the capital with his grandfather after stabilizing.
Back to Qiao Xinyuan, I knew Shen Xiao had waited for her in the hall for a long time.
"Father." Shen ziqiao curtseys in a polite manner, not like she would happily go to the front to play coquettish when she saw Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao also felt Shen ziqiao's alienation. He felt bitter and could not help blurting out, "because I want to marry Miss Chen, you are not happy?"
"I dare not. My father is in his prime. It's natural for him to remarry and fill the house." Shen ziqiao lowered his head slightly, his tone was calm and indifferent.
"You don't know what happened, how can I refuse? So you and your big brother put on their faces to show me? " Shen Xiao said in a deep voice that Shen ziqiao, as a daughter, didn't understand him at all.
Shen ziqiao looked up at him for a while. "Father, my eldest brother and I dare not look at your face. We are happy for you."
"You just don't like me marrying Miss Chen, do you?" Asked Shen Xiao.
If Shen Xiao is a complete dregs father, Shen ziqiao really doesn't want to talk much, but in some ways, Shen Xiao is pretty good.
"Father, Chen Xueling is hypocritical, which is totally incomparable with my mother." She hoped that Shen Xiao would do well to himself. After she married Chen Xueling, she must not be trapped by that woman.
Shen Xiaohe doesn't know Chen Xueling's character, but he has no way to refuse.
"When you go to East Vietnam, you really just say hello to your grandmother?" Shen Xiao is suspicious of his daughter's insistence on going to East Vietnam.
Shen ziqiao nodded seriously. "Of course, what else can I do?"
After staring at Shen ziqiao for a while, Shen Xiao nodded, "I'm going to make an engagement for your elder sister and your second sister. You'll come back from east Vietnam Almost. "
Do you want to marry all his daughters before Chen Xueling enters?
Shen ziqiao smiles but doesn't speak.
She doesn't want to marry! She is reluctant to take so much dowry to cheap others.
The next day, Shen ziqiao took Meng Niangzi and Ruby two sisters out together.
The black flat headed double axle carriage went out from Shen's house and rolled across the East Street. Shen ziqiao was listening to Meng Niangzi telling her that there were several shops and who was in the shop. He didn't notice that when passing Shangpin building, a Cuigai Zhuying carriage passed them by.
"That is Shen ziqiao Sheng peiyin comes down from the carriage and looks at the carriage that has gone away.
She seemed to see Shen ziqiao's smiling face at the carriage window.
"That's Shen's carriage, miss three." The girl next to her replied.
Sheng peiyin lowers his head and flashes a cruel look in his eyes. (to be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation ticket and monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
