"I just said that the second girl is engaged, and my uncle also said that he would choose a bride for Baochai. Now they are preparing a dowry for me. This is just for practice. Otherwise, let Aunt Xue also marry Baochai and the second girl first. The dowry is also prepared separately." Yuan Chun said hurriedly.
Separating the family is definitely not an option. After all, no matter how kind Aunt Xue is, she is now leaving her family to her nephew. What's more, her son is still doing hard labor in the northwest, so Aunt Xue must make preparations for her biological son. So now it is better to let her divide the money for her daughter and niece first, so as to train the children and divide the property.
"You are really thoughtful." Ou Mengmeng clapped her hands. A daughter of the Jia family is ten thousand taels, and an ordinary concubine is three or four thousand taels. This is not because girls are favored over boys, but because the Jia family thinks very clearly that the dowry is for Daughter’s protection? It’s still the foundation of marriage!
Therefore, with Aunt Xue's current net worth, a dowry of 20,000 to 30,000 taels for her daughter and niece is only a drop in the bucket. But if you accompany him well, you can recruit two powerful foreign aids for your son. This is a very cost-effective deal. So Yuanchun is still a native, which is really better than what he thought.
"What about you? How are you getting along with that bear?" Ou Mengmeng nodded. She really didn't care that much about others. She felt that as long as Yuanchun married into an ordinary family, Qin Keqing would not die, and her Red Mansion task list would be successful. So now the focus is naturally on Yuanchun.
"It's a bit noisy, like a child." Yuanchun felt a little helpless when he thought about it. Thinking about it, my grandmother met twice with the military officers chosen by her uncle, and once with the civil servants chosen by her father, but these three times, she never let herself see it later. , "Actually, did you choose Xiong Xing from the beginning?"
"I met the officer twice, because I thought one of the names was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I heard it. I met him twice, but I can't think of it now. It seems that I am too old to think of this. Come out. As for the civil servants your father selected, alas, they are all as useless scholars as your father. The advantage is that you are smarter than your mother, and you will definitely be able to keep them in your hands. However, you will live a good life. It's boring. As for Xiong Xing, I'm waiting." Ou Mengmeng shook her head and said casually.
"What are you waiting for?" Motoharu thought about it and felt a little confused.
"I'll wait until you come back and say no." Ou Mengmeng let out a long sigh, "However, you have been together for so many days and you haven't come back and said no, so now I'm waiting for Xiong Xing to find Princess Longchang to scold him. Already."
"Do you know Princess Longchang?" Yuanchun looked sideways at his grandmother.
"When your grandfather was here, the family in Rong Mansion was not as cold as it is now. Although the princess is the same generation as the old saint, there is a big age difference. Your grandfather was the old saint's disciple, and he was actually familiar with the princess. The little princess In fact, they often come to our house to play." After Ou Mengmeng learned that Princess Longchang was Xiong Xing's biological mother, she searched for memories, and Jia Mu missed the Rong Mansion very much. The Rong Mansion at that time was the dignity that a real Duke's residence should be!
"The old lady doesn't like the palace servants. They are all servants. Even though I am a female official, she doesn't take me seriously, and her rewards are all given by servants." Yuanchun raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
"Do you look down on the palace people, or do you look down on our Jia family?" Ou Mengmeng thought about it and asked again.
"She won't even ask me who I am." Motoharu shook his head and smiled bitterly. I knew what my grandmother was asking, and thinking about it, if it was just contempt for the palace people, it would be nothing. Anyway, as long as it's not personal, it can be solved.
"I'm kind of looking forward to it. She's so arrogant, but her son's reputation is like that, so..." Ou Mengmeng smiled and thought about it, "By the way, do you know the truth about what happened at the Weiwu Marquis Mansion?"
"Yes, the Weiwuhou Mansion was involved in some unreasonable things of Prince Yohitaka, and there were some hints of rebellion. However, at that time, the old saint still had expectations for Prince Yohitaka, so he killed all the people involved. But I don’t want people to know that Prince Yi Zhong was involved. At that time, in addition to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, several other families were destroyed together. And that time, the third prince helped Shi Ding get the position of the Imperial Guard." Yuanchun smiled and said smoothly. She is a female official in Concubine Hui's palace, and she is also the second-ranked female official in the palace. No one can hide it from her.
"As expected. You didn't tell the Four Kings and Six Dukes, did you?" Ou Mengmeng asked hurriedly.
"You really are. If people in the palace want to live, they have to keep their mouths shut." Motoharu sighed softly.
"Fortunately, so the Four Kings and Six Dukes can't do anything to us now. The point is, you didn't give them a chance. That's great!" Ou Mengmeng couldn't help but gently hold Yuan Chun's hand. Think about it, such a smart child was so embarrassed. A room full of idiots is really dragging me down.
"Don't talk about Princess Longchang." Yuanchun was speechless. Isn't the point about Longchang? If she wants to marry into the Xiong family, Princess Longchang is unable to get around the hurdle.
"Okay, she has never been a problem." Ou Mengmeng smiled, "As long as you want, I will take care of her."
Motoharu smiled, thought about it, and shook his head, "I haven't made up my mind yet."
"It doesn't matter, it's still early. You can accept Xiong Er, but you haven't made up your mind to spend your life with him. Is that what you mean?" Ou Mengmeng didn't dare to say whether we could have dinner and hold hands together, mainly because she was afraid of being reminded that sometimes before They didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but when someone reminded them, they became upset. There were many such things, and she knew that this could not be avoided, but she still hoped that they would delay it a little longer.
"Yes, sometimes I think he's quite funny, but sometimes I find him a bit annoying. I don't like people who chase me and talk to me every day! And they look at me a little weird. I mean when eating, on the first day of eating, he He just looked at me stupidly and didn't dare to move his chopsticks at all."
"Then have you ever thought that maybe he just feels that he shouldn't eat at the same table with you, let alone share a plate with you?" Ou Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and said softly. She had forensic students, and they talked about these obsessions, and it was clear that these were the same things from ancient times to modern times.
"Why?" Yuanchun was startled, what does this mean?
"Have you never thought that his idol is Song Ci. A few years later, maybe he can write a book called "The Record of Clearing Wrongs"? Ou Mengmeng said after thinking about it.
"Then?" Yuanchun really didn't understand what the old lady was talking about. What does this have to do with being able to eat at the same table?
"I've been waiting for your consent. It's not that I think Xiong Er is bad. You know, I like him very much. No matter what, I think he is very good. So I allow you to meet him outside. This is according to etiquette. , in fact, you should not agree. In fact, meeting is not the point, the point is whether you can get along with him. Whether you can eat at the same table, whether you can hold hands and walk together, and chat. This is an important prerequisite for whether you can lie on the same bed in the future. "
"Why are you afraid that I can't eat with him? Is it just because he did what he did? You all feel terrible?" Motoharu finally understood.
"He said that your father and the others couldn't eat human organs for several meals. Aren't you afraid? He took the knife in his hand and cut open the corpses..."
