Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 14 And the Dowry
Aunt Pei and others who were waiting outside the door rushed in: "Is it true that the girl really wants to give her the porcelain pillow?"

Pearl, who was watching all the way, couldn't help saying: "That's the most valuable thing in our hands, so don't give it to her!

"They forced us here, we can go and complain to the old man! No matter how cruel the old man is, he won't help the long house to drive us to a dead end!"

Complain?

Shen Xi looked at the group of them and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Sue Shen Ruopu, even if the porcelain pillow can be saved, their second wife will still have no money and no status, since she is going to fight with them no matter what, she must earn some money for herself, right?

But she didn't intend to explain things so clearly for the time being.The image of the original owner before was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is easy to become suspicious if it is said too much.

Furthermore, although they are loyal to her, they may not be convinced of her. If they don't do something for them to see, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.

She only took a sip of bitter tea to quench her thirst, then raised her head and said, "I've said everything, if she comes back later, she won't be able to count."

Everyone was silent, full of words to persuade and didn't know how to say it out.

Shen Xi didn't care about them right now, he waved his hand to let them go down, and sat back on the chair to ponder.

Now that the sky has turned dark, Shen Xin expected to make a move.

Aunt Pei stopped at the threshold, and thoughtfully looked back at her sitting in the room holding tea.

Then he walked back and made a cup of hot tea for her again: "If the porcelain pillow really can't be kept, it doesn't matter. After all, the green hills are left, and there is no fear of no firewood. Don't offend people too much."

Shen Xi raised his eyes to meet hers, but didn't express anything else.

Aunt Pei has been with her longer than Pearl Yuanbei, so she must have a deeper understanding of the original owner than the maids.

She didn't know how the original Shen Xi would react in today's situation, but she was sure that there was definitely a difference.

Aunt Pei was not worried or persuading, but just told her that the porcelain pillow was second, and talent was the most important. It can be seen that she also realized that Shen Xi's thinking had changed, but it was not that far-reaching.

She said softly, "Auntie, go down too."

Shen Xin got Shen Xi's permission and went directly to Wanrongtang.

Shen Ruopu was still busy in the study, so he couldn't help asking a few questions when he saw her.

Shen Xin rubbed his ink for a while on the pretext of complaining, and saw that the poem that Shen Xi put down earlier was still inserted in its place, so she stuffed it into his sleeve while he turned around to look for it, and borrowed it from Aunt Sun. While urging Shen Ruopu to have dinner outside, he quit and went straight back to Lixiangyuan.

Shen Xi had just finished dinner, and was looking at the sewing basket left by the original owner while cross-legged on the kang.

"I took the things back, can you see if there was any mistake?"

Shen Xin entered the door and sat down, pushing the paper directly in front of Shen Xi.

Shen Xi took the paper and looked at it, it was indeed the one she saw earlier, not only the handwriting was the same, even the creases she left were the same.

He put it in his arms calmly, then took out the porcelain pillow behind him, and said, "You've been away for so long, I thought you changed your mind!"

"How can it be? I'm afraid you will change your mind!"

Shen Xin took the porcelain pillow and responded to her, but never looked at her again.

Here he untied the burden with all his might, and recognized that it was indeed the one Huang had told him about, so he was secretly relieved.

That's right, with the honey baits she threw out before, how could this fool not be in a hurry to offer her the porcelain pillow?

If I had known that she couldn't help cheating so much, I would have saved myself from going out in the morning!
"Why would I change my mind! The second room will depend entirely on my uncle and aunt to take care of me in the future, and it's too late for me to hope that my uncle will come back soon! With my uncle to discipline Brother Liang for me, Brother Liang will not have to worry about his future. Already!"

Shen Xi followed her words closely and said, as if afraid of her repentance, he held his fan again and said: "If my sister doesn't believe me, you can make a written proof with me."

When Shen Xin heard the word "accordance", she suddenly felt enlightened and her mind moved.

That's right, we have to make a written statement!
Earlier, she clearly called Pearl to bring the porcelain pillow, and she was about to give it to her immediately, but she suddenly asked her to go to Shen Ruopu to get some poems, and now she promised to give her the porcelain pillow, but who knew she would turn around? Will there be another moth?

She just hugged it back, what if she went back on her word and told Shen Ruopu?
With her soft ears, it's really uncertain to ask Aunt Pei and the others to persuade her later!

Thinking of this, she smiled at Shen Xi, "According to this thing, it should not be established, but since my sister mentioned this, let us sisters settle accounts clearly, so as not to hurt our friendship in the future, let's set up a The writing is also good.

"It's just that if my sister breaks the contract, what can I get as compensation?"

"Just use my mother's dowry." Shen Xi was straightforward.

Shen Xin paused slightly: "Your mother's dowry?"

"Exactly." Shen Xi waved his fan, "Although I don't have any money on hand, my mother does, and her dowry is still locked in the public treasury.

"If I break the contract and ask you for a porcelain pillow, I won't be able to stop you from moving the dowry if you show me this document. Don't you think so?"

When mentioning Hu's dowry, Shen Xin's heart brightened!

Hu's natal family is not poor, they are squires from south of the Five Ridges, and there are still children in the family serving as officials in the court, but the distance is far away, and the official rank is quite different compared with the Shen family.

In addition, Xu Shi's heart is high, and he has been negligent in recent years. Since Hu's death, no one has ever been to Beijing.
