Chapter 2234

Hearing that the Gao family agreed to the marriage, Zhuang brother was overjoyed. He's prepared for the worst, but he's done it.

Ning Yuanhang looked at him with a silly smile and said, "elder brother, how many people in the capital are as rich as you? You can't count a single slap. Gao's family knows, how can they refuse to marry? "

Although he would rather be a descendant of Houfu, the money he can control is pitiful. Unlike Zhuang Ge'er, who holds such a large amount of property after marriage.

Think about it. He's a little envious.

Ning Yuanhang said, "brother, when you get married, I will give you some money."

Without hesitation, Zhuang refused: "no way. Money can't be borrowed at will, unless you use it for business. " In other words, if you need money for serious business, uncle and aunt will definitely give it. You don't need to borrow it from him.

Ning Yuanhang sighed and said, "well, it's said that the tiger fighting brothers went to battle with their father and son. You can't rely on me, elder brother! I'm sorry I'm so sorry for you. "

Brother Zhuang looked at him and said with a smile, "don't be a pauper. Go to practice!" This time, I must be admitted to Qianwei camp and earn face for myself as well as for the three girls of Gao family.

"Well, practice." In fact, he is also joking. How could he really find a strong brother to borrow money. At most, I'll knock on my brother Zhuang for a few meals.

In March, Zhuang Ge'er passed the examination of Qianwei camp. After two days off, he packed up and went to Qianwei camp.

In April, a strong brother will eliminate filial piety.

After two days of filial piety, Zeng Chenfu asked the official media to propose marriage to the Gao family. Because the two families have made a decision secretly, the Gao family is very happy to answer the marriage.

When the two families exchanged Gengtai, Zeng Chenfu began to prepare for the dowry.

Ninghai gave Zeng Chenfu ten thousand liang of silver and said, "take this money to buy things first, and then tell me if it is less."

Zeng Chenfu said: "Dad, the bride price of Zhuang brother should be given to the eldest brother?" When my son marries me, he who does not pay will pay. In any case, Fang Hui will not get much of the industry in his hands. So, he has to pay for the marriage. If not, it's also cheaper for Tang to have some children with her.

The wedding also depends on the specifications. If it's a big deal, the cost is not low. Like the prince of the British government, he only gave 30000 liang of silver to his subordinates. A strong brother can't be compared with a British son, but the dowry plus the cost of marriage must be more than 10000 Liang silver.

Ninghai nodded and said, "I have written to him, and I believe it will come soon." It's all split up. The old man can't pay back when he gets married. As for brother Zhuang's money, it's reserved for the couple.

Zeng Chenfu nodded, and then took out a list and said, "Dad, you can see what else you need to buy." She worked out this list of betrothal gifts after careful consideration.

Ninghai did not look at the list, said: "you have always been appropriate, I have nothing to worry about."

A few days later, Fang Hui received a letter from Ninghai. After reading the letter, Fang Hui looked gloomy. The son is going to be engaged. He doesn't even know whether the second senior of his family is round or flat, let alone what the girl's character looks like.

Seeing that he was not very well, Tang asked, "husband, what's the matter? But what's the matter in the army? "

Fang Hui shook his head and said, "nothing in the army." In September last year, the eldest princess led the army and severely damaged the Donghu people. In the next 20 years, there will be no more big battles in the border city.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tang changed the subject: "husband, Mrs. Lin heard that the eldest young master was admitted to Qianwei camp, and said that she wanted to marry her eldest daughter to the eldest young master." Being admitted to Qianwei camp shows that the child has a good future.

After the news came out, some wives and wives with girls of suitable age were moved. Mrs. Lin's husband is a thousand families in the army. This one rises from the bottom and has no foundation.

If Zeng Chenfu knew the roots of the Lin family, she would know what Tang's idea was. It's not helpful for Zhuang Ge'er to marry Lin's girl.

Fang Hui shook his head and said, "no need. My father has shown a Zhuang a good family. Gengtai has all been exchanged, leaving the dowry. "

Tang's heart jumped, and then he said with a smile, "this is a good thing, but I don't know who is the girl." She had thought of putting people around Zhuang Ge'er, but she was afraid to arouse Ninghai's suspicion, which finally stopped her thinking. As for buying the people around her, she didn't even think about it.

Zhuang Ge'er is accompanied by a young man, all of whom are the children and grandchildren of the general of Anyang Houfu. And the servant girls around are carefully selected by Zeng Chenfu. These people can't be bought with silver.

Fang Hui said, "it's the three girls in Yongyi Prefecture. Dad said that the girl was intelligent and capable, and the director of the family was also a good hand. Brother Zhuang has seen it, and is very satisfied with the girl of the Gao family. So he made up his mind and settled it. "

Tang's heart almost jumped to her throat, but she soon calmed down: "I remember Princess Rui, as if she was a girl in Yongyi uncle's mansion?"

Fang Hui didn't think much about it. He nodded: "well, Princess Rui is the only daughter in Yongyi's mansion. The two sons of yongyibo held important positions in the army. Most of the heirs of the Gao family are in the army, which is very helpful for the future of the Zhuang brothers. " Speaking of this, Fang Huixin relaxed in an instant. His father is also estimated to be based on this consideration, so he can help Zhuang brother decide the girl of the high family.

"Tang Shi said with a worried face:" I heard that this noble girl has a bad temper. I don't know how she is If it's a tough one, it's bound to produce a lot of right and wrong. She didn't want anyone to disturb her life at all, so she wanted her brother to marry a girl with a family background and a gentle disposition.

The so-called good speech, in fact, is weak temperament. In this way, she can hold each other.

But don't want to, rather sea even Ma don't rest assured, how can let her meddle in strong brother's marriage.

"You don't have to worry about that," said Fang Hui with a smile. "The girl in my father's picture must be excellent in all aspects." This girl of the high family must be excellent in all aspects. Otherwise, she will not be able to enter his father's eyes. He knows that Ninghai has a high vision.

Although I don't want my brother Zhuang to marry a noble girl, I will exchange all Gengtai's marriage, which can't be changed any more.

"It costs a lot to buy the dowry," said Tang very attentively. "Husband, we can't let Shizi and Shizi's wife contribute and pay."

Fang Hui felt that Tang was very considerate and said with a smile, "I have asked ah Qiang to deliver the silver note."

Tang added, "my husband, I have to send more to the past. I can't let the sons of the world mend them."

"I sent 12000 liang of silver. It should be enough to buy a dowry. As for the cost of getting married, it will be extra at that time. " Zhuang Ge'er is his eldest son. The wedding is going to be very noisy.

Thinking that Zhuang Ge'er still lives in Anyang Houfu, Fang Hui thinks it's necessary for him to arrange. It doesn't matter to live in Anyang Houfu, but now it's separated, so we can't do family affairs in Houfu.

Tang's face changed slightly. The dowry price will be 12000 Liang, and the money for wine will be 20000 yuan. Although the family background is relatively thick, but this is too big.

But she dare not say anything against it. I am not afraid of Ninghai, but of Fang Hui. After all, Zhuang Ge'er is the eldest son of his own. In addition, Fang Hui will give him so much money because of the guilt caused by Mahalanobis. Fang Hui must be unhappy if she wants to object.

Thinking about Ma, Tang's heart sank.

The next day Fang Hui went to the army, and Tang sent all the people out, leaving Shicui alone.

Shicui asked, "grandma, what's the matter?"

Tang sipped his mouth and asked, "does it have anything to do with your grandmother's death?" I was pregnant before, and I was too busy to think about it. After giving birth to a child, I always think that Shicui was in a wrong state at that time.

Although there was some doubt, she didn't ask. But Zhuang's marriage gave her a sense of crisis. Not only Ninghai, but even Zeng Chenfu didn't like her. The girl they chose must not be good at picking fault. Therefore, it must be found out that Shicui really has poisoned Ma, so this hidden danger must be removed before Gao family girl enters the door.

Shicui's legs softened and she knelt on the ground.

What else can't be understood? Tang said angrily, "you dare to carry me on your back to do such a bad thing." Fortunately, the husband believed that he didn't follow up, otherwise he found out that it was Shicui's poisonous hand, and no one believed that she was innocent. Not only will she die without a burial place, but several children will be involved.

Shicui didn't dare cry loudly: "grandma, I and I just want to make her weak, and then lead the eldest young master back to Tongcheng. In this way, the eldest young master can't threaten you and the second young master. Who would have thought that she was so useless? She took some medicine and went. "

Tang could not help but slap Shicui angrily: "you fool, you dare to make a claim for such a big thing." There's no Ma now. There's nothing to hold him back.

Shicui kneels to beg for mercy.

She dare to do such a thing. How could she have Shicui. Appeased her on the face, but moved her hand and foot secretly. Soon Shicui got sick and died.

Because it is more than two years since Mahalanobis died, no one doubts that Shicui's death has something to do with Tang's.

The bride price sent by Ning family to Gao family is full of the courtyard of the second lady of Gao family.

The second lady of the senior high school looked at it and couldn't close her mouth. The more dowry the man gives, the more attention he attaches to the girl. This time, Ning's family gave her thirty-six dowry, which greatly exceeded her expectation.

The old lady of Gao's family looked a little sour, but it didn't show on her face: "Shizi's wife is really a big hand!" Her eldest son-in-law only paid twenty-four dowries that day.

Mrs. Gao Er said with a smile, "the Ning family has been separated from the aristocratic son for a long time, and the aristocratic son's wife just buys these dowries on behalf of him." Love, but can not let people think that these betrothal gifts are Ning Zhan and Zeng Chenfu to pay for.

The big lady had some accidents: "really?" He thought that the Ning family would be partial to the children of the concubines and the concubines. He didn't pay attention to the eldest son!

The second lady smiled and said: "nature is true. Even if the sons and wives are generous, it's not a small amount. How can they take such a big advantage? "

This is very reasonable.

"It seems that we all wrongly blame Ning's master," the old lady said with a smile

In fact, the second lady didn't know whether the money for the dowry was Fang Hui or Zhuang Ge'er's own: "in the end, it's his own son. How can it not hurt?" She didn't want to tell her brother-in-law that he had half of his fortune, so as not to cause trouble.
