"Mom, how can I calm down? Xiaojiu is my flesh and blood, and the old witch's granddaughter. How could she do this?" Xu became angry, "I want to use my daughter to throw her declining mother's family. I think beautifully. Now I will go back and say that I don't agree with this marriage."

Mrs. Zhou's tone became stern and then stern: "Shut up, that's your mother-in-law. Do you still have the same respect for your elders? Even if you are now, you will be unreasonable."

Xu has always been afraid of her mother. Seeing that she became harsh, she could only barely suppress her anger and said, "Mom, this is too bullying. I just feel sorry for Xiaojiu. This marriage cannot be settled no matter what."

Mrs. Zhou turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, half-squinted her eyes and thought for a long time before she made a prominent statement, "The Cen family is a little declining, but it is a noble family."

Xu widened his eyes in surprise. Judging from his mother's meaning, this marriage was as good as it could be done. He was stunned for a while before saying, "Mom, have you also said that you want to tell Xiaojiu to Zhe'er?"

Mrs. Zhou whispered: "I used to have such a plan, but... Zhe'er is getting older and older, and is spoiled by his parents. He is a little weak-hearted. I used to think that Xiaojiu is also soft-hearted, and she can survive even if she gets a little wronged. With me, the old woman, I will give birth to a man and a half woman in the future. Even if I go, the Yongxiang Hou Mansion will not dare to do anything about her. But recently, I heard that Xiaojiu has grown up and become stronger after she grows up. Last month, when you brought Xiaojiu back, I asked her a few questions and found that she had a lot of ideas, and felt that this marriage was not so good."

Xu was really stunned this time.

If Xiao Jiu is not married into it, wouldn’t the wealth of the Yongxiang Marquis’ Mansion be in vain? The old Marquis was romantic and confused at the time. He almost lost all his family property and stretched out his legs. For so many years, his mother worked day and night, so he supported the Marquis’ Mansion again. If he couldn’t let his own flesh and blood enjoy it, what’s the point of adoption?

The mother and daughter are in love. Mrs. Zhou knew what her daughter was thinking, so she said lightly: "I have my own idea. After you go back, you can just throw a little face. You can't go too far. You can't refuse this marriage too thoroughly. You have to leave room for space. After I'll ask about the situation of the Cen family brother."

After his mother said this, Xu was full of dissatisfaction and had to endure it for the time being. Anyway, her mother would not harm her. Thinking about her husband, she felt that what her mother said was reasonable. When she got married, she was still a human being. If she met someone like Su Sanye, no matter how good the background is, she would not be able to make do with her life. What's the point of living a life?

Return to Yuanping Bo Mansion.

Xu immediately went to see Mrs. Cen.

Mrs. Cen told her with a smile about the engagement, and explained: "The Cen family's brother was a scholar at the age of thirteen. The proposal was broken into the door frame. I thought I might as well order Xiaojiu and let others snatch it first, so I exchanged Geng Tie with the Cen family."

Xu's face was cold and stirred the handkerchief in his hand into a trickle. He heard that Geng Tie had changed, so he couldn't help saying, "Mother-in-law, you have made a marriage for Xiaojiu. My wife didn't dare to say anything, but was it too hasty? Xiaojiu was only 11th, and even if it was officially decided, it would take two years. By the way, my wife met Brother Heng during the Chinese New Year three years ago. Now she doesn't remember what he looks like and whether it is suitable for Xiaojiu."

Mrs. Cen didn't seem to notice Xu's disrespectful look and said kindly: "In two years, Brother Cen will be a Juren, and there will be more people who will be proposing marriage. If someone robs me, it won't be the turn of Xiaojiu. I'm also worried about Xiaojiu. Look at these girls in the family, because they didn't make an appointment early. It's really not easy to find a good candidate for you. To be honest, this marriage is both the big and the second house. But I think that the third house is thin, and while my old bones can still move, I will book it for Xiaojiu early, so as not to have any trouble. Don't worry, Brother Heng, I watched me grow up, and I will still hurt my granddaughter?"

Just a scholar, what's so proud of? Not to mention the capital, even outside, the poor scholars were also caught. Xu was quite disdainful, but when he recalled his mother's explanation, he felt that Geng Tie had been changed, and no matter how much trouble he made, he could not change the facts. He still wanted to strive for the best interests. He said, "Mother-in-law also knows that the three-bedroom house is thin, how much dowry is planned to give Xiaojiu?"

Mrs. Cen was stunned. She thought that Xu would strongly oppose this marriage. She had already prepared a lot of talk in her stomach, but she did not expect that Xu did not strongly object, but instead mentioned the dowry. She never thought that there were so many granddaughters in the mansion. Xu had a generous dowry and was good at managing it, and she only had one son and one daughter. By then, the big and second houses would be married, and the third and fourth houses would be almost the same. According to her opinion, it was only two or three thousand.

But now, these two or three thousand are obviously not good. I can’t tell Xu, I will pay two or three thousand silver. You marry your daughter into my parents’ home and pay for the dowry by yourself. If it’s normal, this is nothing. Xu will definitely make trouble now. There are too many, and I really can’t take it out.

Xu wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Mother-in-law, it's not that I'm picky, but I'm just a daughter like this. She grew up in the Bo Mansion and was very delicate and rich. She rashly asked her to marry into a Qinggui family. How did she live this life? It's said that Bo Mansion is rich and noble. Who wouldn't be amazed that day? If Xiaojiu gave her second sister too much, what would outsiders think? Those who don't know would think that Bo Mansion married the girl in a low position to save those dowry money."

Get the dowry first and find out later. If the Cen family brother is not as good as Mrs. Cen said, he would have an excuse to give up the marriage. He Xiaojiu is still young. As for the dowry given to his granddaughter, can the lady be carried back? My mother is right. Geng Tie has changed and there is no benefit in making trouble now. He will have a reputation for resigning. Therefore, even if he wants to withdraw, he has to get a dowry as compensation.

Mrs. Cen was speechless, and Xu clearly implied that she wanted to give Xiaojiu the same dowry as her second sister.

Seeing this, Madam Jin hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Third Lady, the Grandma has told me a long time ago that she will never complain about Miss Jiu. However, this dowry has not been calculated for a while. Some antique jewelry are difficult to estimate. You can wait a few days and you will definitely be satisfied."

Then Xu said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for worrying about Xiaojiu, my wife will take her leave first."

Madam Jin hurriedly sent Xu out.

After returning, Mrs. Cen still had the same expression.

Madam Jin sighed and advised, "Madam, this result is already very good. The eldest lady's marriage requires Mrs. Zhou to agree. I think it's better to Miss Jiu in accordance with the second lady's dowry."

It is easy to say that the eldest daughter who ordered the eldest daughter of the Prince Kang was originally appointed. Generally speaking, the dowry of the eldest daughter was more generous than that of other daughters. In addition, the marriage of the Prince Gong was higher, and it was better to have a rich dowry. In the future, this in-laws could bring great help to the Bo Mansion. Now Xiaojiu also wants to give such a dowry. How can Mrs. Cen be willing to bear it?
