Chapter 42 Chapter 042: She gives the third sister-in-law an engagement gift

Lord Jiang had no choice but to carry gifts worth thousands of taels and went to the general's residence in person to apologize.

I don't know where he heard the news, but he was still keen enough to notice something. This time he proposed a marriage between the two families, and let Mr. Shen's son choose his two daughters at will.

Shen Hong did not open the door in a hurry, but asked Mr. Jiang to wait at the gate for half an hour before letting him enter the flower hall and wait for a quarter of an hour before he arrived late.

"Master Jiang, I'm really sorry. I fell asleep just now. I'm sleepy today and fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed."

"It's okay. Mr. Shen is busy with official duties, so his body will naturally be tired. I just bought a century-old ginseng, which is suitable for Mr. Shen to make ginseng tea every day."

Mr. Jiang put a few boxes of gifts on the table with a flattering smile.

If he had known that Shen Hong would be as brilliant as he is now, he would definitely not have canceled the engagement between the two families.

A few months ago, the third son Shen suddenly became obese and his body smelled bad. He was disliked by his second daughter and made trouble at home for a long time.

In addition, something big happened when Shen Hong went on an expedition to southern Xinjiang, and he was likely to die on the battlefield.

He listened to his wife's bewitchment, and then acquiesced in allowing her to cancel the engagement.

Who would have expected that the current situation would result.

"Master Jiang's gift is really valuable, I'm afraid Shen won't be able to enjoy it." Shen Hong reached out and gently pushed several gift boxes.

"This..." Mr. Jiang was stunned, thinking that Shen Hong had forgiven him.

"Master Shen, what happened in the past was my fault. I apologize to you. I'm sorry. It was Shen who was short-sighted and blind."

Shen Hong said nothing and sneered: "You hurt my family first, and then you just apologize and apologize? Master Jiang, am I, Shen, such a useless person?"

Mr. Jiang's legs were trembling, thinking that he had been demoted to the second rank and fined several thousand taels. Isn't this price high enough?

"Master Shen, I know I was wrong. I came here tonight with sincerity. I want the two families to continue to marry. Considering our previous friendship, you can forgive me this time."

"The two families will continue to marry? Master Jiang, so you look down on me so much?" Shen Hong stood up and raised his right hand.

"see a visitor out."

"No, Mr. Shen, how could I look down on you? I really want to marry you. With your third child's current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a wife in the future. Why don't you let my eldest daughter get engaged to your third child?"

Master Jiang pulled Shen Hong's sleeve and was so anxious that he almost shed tears.

"Your eldest daughter? Why not your most precious second daughter?" Shen Hong asked back, showing a malicious look.

"It's okay if you want to get married. My third oldest daughter wants your second daughter."

"Ah! This, this, this... Master Shen, let's take my eldest daughter instead! She is well-behaved, sensible, gentle and virtuous, and is most suitable for the third child in your family.

My second daughter is unruly and willful, and I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of your third child. Since we really want to get married, the marriage must be amicable and beautiful. What if we become enemies if we mess around? "

Master Jiang looked like he was "doing it for the good of the Shen family" and his analysis was clear and logical.

Shen Hong showed a look of realization and sneered: "So you know it too."

"..." Mr. Jiang was stunned, his mouth opened wide but he couldn't say a word.

"Back then, my wife and I both loved the eldest daughter of your family, but your wife changed her name without permission at the engagement banquet. Where did that put me? The whole capital was laughing at me."

Shen Hong's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word was like a slap on Mr. Jiang's face.

"Master Shen..."

"I don't think it's necessary for our two families to continue to marry. Master Jiang, please take your things and get out."

"Master Shen, I know I was wrong. Give me a chance. No matter what conditions you put forward, I will agree. If you show your kindness, I will never break my promise again in the future."

Master Jiang raised his right hand and swore to the sky.

Shen Hong didn't speak anymore. He sat on the stool and waited for a while. When he saw that there was no thunder or lightning in the sky, he spoke.

"There are many people who want to marry me. My third child is just a little fat and smelly, so it's not a big problem.

If you really want to get married, then agree to my three requests. "Okay, Mr. Shen, please tell me." "

"First, let Miss Jiang live in the Li Mansion until she gets married."

"Secondly, Miss Jiang's betrothal gift is only five thousand taels."

"Thirdly, the dowry given to Miss Jiang by the Jiang Mansion must be sixty-eight dollars."

"This..." Mr. Jiang thinks there is nothing wrong with the betrothal gift of five thousand taels, but the dowry of sixty-eight yuan is too much and very unfair.

There is a huge difference between betrothal gift and dowry. He could not earn a penny to raise a daughter, but still had to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

"I'll give you three days to think about it, but I won't give you some benefits. After the two children are engaged, I will let the emperor restore your official position and taste.

As long as you and my family become in-laws, will the benefits be less for you in the future? "

Shen Hong moved out the benefits to seduce Master Jiang. She knew best that what he cared about most was his official career and face.

In just seven days, he has probably had enough. If he doesn't change the status quo, he is afraid he will go crazy.

"Okay, I agree... I'll take a rest tomorrow. Mr. Shen, you prepare the matchmaking and engagement banquet. I'll bring my eldest daughter and my wife."

Lord Jiang hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed without daring to make any requests.

I am so anxious that I have to arrange the engagement banquet for the two children tomorrow, and I am deeply afraid that Mr. Shen will regret it.

Looking at Mr. Jiang's leaving figure, Shen Hong's face was solemn. This night, the Jiang Mansion was probably not at peace.

How could Mrs. Jiang tolerate Miss Jiang marrying into the general's mansion and living a good life? The betrothal gift is so small, but the dowry is ten times as much?
I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble at tomorrow's engagement party.

……

General House

At dawn, Guan Shen's family arranged for dozens of servants to clean the mansion inside and out, hang lanterns and paste happy words on them.

Someone is sent to buy ingredients early in the morning, and dozens of distinguished guests are received at noon.

Although I don’t have enough time, I have enough money.

With the blessing of silver, everything needed for the engagement banquet was prepared one by one.

The matchmaker and engagement ceremony had been prepared a few days ago, and even the engagement tokens were prepared well in advance.

After Shen Hong got up early, he stayed with Shen Zhiyu Duan Lian for a while, and the two father and son talked about their concerns.

After breakfast, the two of them went to more than 20 houses to deliver invitations.

Ruan Ruan also got up early in the morning and asked Shen Zhiqing to carry him around the house.

Looking at the beaming General's Mansion, she felt comfortable.

Jiang Lanru is about to become her third sister-in-law-to-be, and she will protect her third sister-in-law from now on.

She should give her third sister-in-law a gift at the engagement party!

What should I give as a gift?
By the way, the third sister-in-law has suffered from frostbite on her hands for several years, the skin has rotted away, and her hands are no longer in shape.

In the past few years, I have been boiling water in the boiler room, and my face, arms and even my body have been burned with many scars from the hot water.

For girls, the most important thing is their face and skin.

Then she will give the third sister-in-law a bottle of skin repair cream. She wants to buy the top repair cream. It has a lot of merit gold, so don’t save money with her.

Cheng Yurong took Aunt Zhou to direct the servants to work in the mansion, not daring to be careless at all.

When I think of Miss Jiang's tragic death in her previous life, my heart still hurts.

In addition to trying to compensate her as much as possible, I also want to give her enough maternal love.
