Chapter 123

Leisurely, he brought a lot of mandarin fish from his home. Han ordered the kitchen to arrange a dinner for mandarin fish, including squirrel mandarin fish, steamed mandarin fish, scallion braised mandarin fish, and some seasonal dishes. All the girls of Hou family gathered here and had a rich dinner for mandarin fish. Mandarin fish has few spines, tender meat and delicious taste. Houfu likes to eat fish from top to bottom. It's natural to treat each other with a smile when it comes to bringing such delicious food. Therefore, this lunch is a feast for guests and hosts.

With lunch, leisurely and people said a few words, then got up to leave, Han as usual life catkins will send her out. They went to the corner door with each other. Seeing that the servant girls were in front of them, they asked in a low voice, "what's madam's attitude towards the second lady? I remember that she and I are the same age. We are both 20 years old this year. How come there is no sign of engagement

Fly catkins slant her one eye "how, when did you meddle in this kind of business?" Leisurely fly, she a white eye "I which is to meddle in business?"? I'm just thinking about the reputation of my wife and the eldest girl. As soon as the Marquis is is coming back, the marriage of the two girls is not yet settled. After all, she is the daughter of the marquis. When the Marquis sees that his daughter is so old, she has no mother-in-law, and his wife is not busy. If the Marquis doesn't say anything, won't he feel uncomfortable? "

Feixu said, "why didn't the lady give her any publicity? Originally, when the Marquis didn't go to the border, his wife began to make arrangements for her marriage. Although the second young lady was very arrogant for a while after the arrogant young master was sent to Chuang Tzu by the Marquis, her wife still chose some middle-class official families with simple family affairs for her. Even though she is the daughter of Hou family, she is a common girl. If she wants to marry her son, she can only go to these families. It's just that our two girls are so ambitious that they want to marry the Duke's residence, but they have to marry their own son. I don't know who I am. Later, the Marquis didn't know what he said to the second girl, but she was much more honest. But then the Marquis went to the border. In the past two years, his wife was so worried that she didn't care to talk to her. Two days ago, the lady said that when the Marquis came back, she would make a marriage appointment for the first young master, the second young master and the second girl. Fortunately, in recent years, late marriage prevails in Beijing, and the second girl is not very old. "

It suddenly dawned on you that "so it is. Her identity is not as good as that of the third girl. The third girl is obviously born by your concubine, much higher than that of the second girl's maidservant. If you blindly focus on the difference between the portals, it will be embarrassing if the high is not the low. "

Feixu frowned and said, "isn't it? Because it's difficult to deal with it, so the lady will wait for the Lord to come back and make an engagement for her, so as to save her any complaints. "

Leisurely back home, just to see the younger brother holding a box of things to his mother. Seeing her coming back, Lin's mother said with a smile, "come here and have a look at your brother's face." Then he put the box on the table and put it to his daughter.

There is a set of red gold head inlaid with emeralds. Among them is a Chaoyang five Phoenix hairpin and a pair of silk hairpins with beads. In addition, there are top hairpins, Tiaoxin, small inserts, bracelets, rings and so on. Leisurely, the size, color and workmanship of the beads are not much worse than those in her dowry. He asked, "where did you get this? Where did you get so much silver? "

No wonder leisurely asked, Enron's salary is several, and the Imperial Academy is a Qingshui Yamen. His salary is less than two hundred taels of silver a year, which is barely enough for his daily expenses in the Yamen. Now, if you take out such a box of good things, why don't you doubt it.

Enron said with a smile, "it's nothing. Didn't I say that last time? One of my elder martial brother's clansmen specializes in sea trade business. Now their family is not short of money, so they want to let their descendants study and become officials. But that man's eldest son is not a successful one. He can't recruit many famous teachers. Later, they came to me, and I took the exam. If you think he is a talented person, you should come down and instruct him in his lessons several times a month. That's not true. A few days ago, the boy got a scholar's test. They were very happy at home. His father just gave me a red envelope and two small boxes as a thank-you. Later, I went home and opened it. The two boxes contained a box of emeralds and a box of sapphires. I'll take it to the silver chamber to give my mother and sister a set of face, or to make up for my sister. "

Leisurely said, "even so, is it too generous for their family? Is it not worth four or five hundred taels of silver? " Enron waved his hand. "It's all right, sister. Their family is engaged in sea trade. These things are rare to us. There is no lack of them at home."

"Even so, you should keep such a good gem for future marriage. There are already several sets of jewel heads in my dowry, which is enough. " Leisurely said.

Enron retorted, "my elder sister said that she was born with me. Isn't my elder sister the one who earned all of our family property? Now I'm just giving my sister a face. What's the matter? "

Lin's mother also advised, "since it's your brother's intention, you can take it." Leisurely this just smiles to accept "since so, that I thank younger brother very much."

"You're welcome, elder sister. Elder martial brother Shen is coming back, and elder sister's dowry should be prepared. Just tell me what you need. I'll prepare. What's more, do you want to take out my sister's gold jewelry and blow it up again? " Asked Enron.

After listening to his brother's words, he nodded his head leisurely. "I remember when you said that. Some heads are old-fashioned. Now that you've all spoken, I'll find them out tomorrow. How about leaving the job to you?"

Enron said, "I will live up to my mission."

Lin's mother said, "well, your adoptive mother is really nice to you. I thought that she would give you ten pieces of furniture. Unexpectedly, there was a yellow rosewood imperial concubine's couch and a red sandalwood book case, but these two pieces were decent enough, not to mention the red sour twig bed. In addition to other tables and chairs, there are actually 40 or 50 pieces in all kinds. It's really decent enough. And your adoptive mother said, prepare for you six sets of clothes for the four seasons, four sets of gold and four sets of silver head and face. I said there was no need to spend like this, but she said that it was nothing to treat you as a daughter. Our family is limited, and we can't help others. It's only you who sincerely honor the two old people. "

Leisurely nodded, "it's natural. Even if my mother doesn't say it, I know how to do it."

Lin's mother said, "I'm at ease when you do things. Your adoptive mother gave you so many things. I can't be too funny as a mother. I can't compare with other people's family. I've also prepared six sets of clothes for the four seasons, one set of Pearl head, one set of agate head and two sets of gold head, as well as some excellent porcelain, tea sets and twelve fashionable silks and satins. With your own private house and that shop, even if you are married to your son-in-law's family, it will not be reduced. "

"The bottom of our family has always been there. Since he is willing to marry me, he must not be greedy for these things. If he wants to be thinner, it doesn't matter. Don't empty the bottom of our family." Leisurely frown said.
