I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 85

After a few days, Xie Yuanzhou suddenly heard that Qin Jin was going to marry a wife. Xie Yuanzhou stared at Qin Yang, who was grinning from ear to ear. Nanman? How come it is rumored that he wants to marry a wife?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials looked at him in surprise, and asked back: "In this battle, I have defeated the Nanman in this battle. General Qin will be in the capital in a few days. It is rumored that General Qin passed by Dengzhou and fell in love with a woman, and he planned to marry her as his wife. That's when he got married."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said, "It's also a coincidence that General Qin married his wife on the same day as Mr. Xie married his daughter. Mr. Xie, Yao may not be able to have a wedding at the mansion that day."

Xie Yuanzhou doesn't care whether to go to the wedding or not, what he cares about is why things happened so coincidentally.He knew that Qin Jin had won the battle, but he didn't know when he would come back before, and because of Zhimian's marriage, he didn't have a good rest in the past two days. Is it the class teacher's return to court?
After returning home, Xie Yuanzhou thought about it more and more, so he changed to Chang Obedient and hurried to Prince Huai's Mansion.

King Huai also got the news, but he didn't care much about it. The marriage was a matter of his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Since Xie Yuanzhou was the head of the Xie family, he naturally had the final say on Xie Zhijin's marriage.Now that the matter has been settled, even if Qin Jin comes back, nothing can be changed. No matter how great his contribution is, how dare he rob someone?

Even if Qin Jin has any complaints, it has nothing to do with Xie Yuanzhou when the time comes to blame him.

Thinking about it this way, Duke Huai didn't care even more, and he smiled and comforted him: "Lord Xie, what is there to be afraid of, you are Xie Zhijin's father, and the marriage is naturally decided by your parents. How can he control you as a man who retired from marriage. The author said, does he still dare to rob people with this king?"

Compared with Duke Huai's calmness, Xie Yuanzhou is not calm. The other party is the prince who doesn't care about it, but he is just the servant of the household department and a noble family. It would be against ethics for the eldest daughter to secretly be a concubine. If it gets out, the Xie family will really lose face.

Moreover, Qin Jin was extremely ruthless, he was really afraid that this person would do something shocking.

Seeing that Xie Yuanzhou was still worried, Duke Huai smiled and said: "Okay, the matter is a foregone conclusion. It is useless for Mr. Xie to talk too much. There will be an auspicious day in a few days. Qin Jin will also marry a wife on that day. Maybe he has forgotten about Miss Your Mansion long ago. .”

Xie Yuanzhou was still uneasy in his heart, and murmured: "I hope so."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, and there were only two days left before Xie Zhimian married into Duke Huai's residence.Xie Zhimian was very proud recently, but because of Xie Yuanzhou's instructions, he couldn't trouble Xie Zhijin.And Xie Zhijin unhurriedly asked Chu Yu and others to prepare her dowry.

Early this morning, Mrs. Qiao came over with Qingyao and others, smiled and said to Zhijin: "This is the headgear prepared by mother for you, try to see if it fits quickly." Then he asked Qingyao to pass it over.

The mother and daughter said that they only met once in the palace in the past ten years. If it wasn't because Xie Yuanzhou needed Qiao's dowry because the wedding was approaching, the mother and daughter might not be able to see each other until now.

Yue Ban took it and opened the box towards Zhijin, exclaiming: "What a beautiful face, is it the handicraft of the Su family in Jiangnan? Girl, Ma'am, this face is really no worse than our Beauty Square."

Zhijin has also gained acquaintance with headgear in the past few years. Seeing that the headgear prepared by Mrs. Qiao is really good, she can't help feeling warm in her heart.She was no longer a child, and knew that it was not Qiao's wish that she was thrown out back then. Although Qiao had ignored her on the surface in recent years, she had always paid attention to her, and she knew all this.

Because Wenxue Courtyard is full of people from her own family, and she speaks more casually, Qiao said: "The Qin family is a good family. If you know Jin, you should respect your parents-in-law when you marry."

When it comes to marriage, Zhijin is inevitably a little embarrassed. After putting the jewelry aside, she said to Qiao: "I'm leaving, and the mother and younger brother are the ones I worry about the most. Then Aunt Zhao has no good intentions, so she is willing to let go this time." Mother coming out, I am afraid it is the idea of ​​the mother's dowry."

Although Qi Guogong broke up with Qiao's marriage back then, Qiao's mother's dowry was given to her intact. Over the years, the shop in the dowry has been managed by Qiao's accompanying room, but nothing happened. trouble.

Qiao smiled wryly and shook her head: "Why don't I know, but those dowries are for you and Zhihang, so naturally we can't take advantage of them."

"Mother can't be soft-hearted. They are wolves who can't get enough to feed. You must become stronger for Zhihang. I don't want Zhihang to live the life before." Zhijin stared at Qiao, making Qiao blush.

Zhijin also understood that Qiao's actions were forced, but she was about to get married, so she had to make good plans for her younger brother.In the past few years, she can also see clearly that although Xie Yuanzhou has placed his mother under house arrest and does not want to see himself and Zhihang, he has never treated his mother badly.

Some things have been said in advance, so she will come back to criticize Zhihang when she sees Zhihang being wronged.

Qiao looked at her steady and beautiful daughter, the corners of her eyes were moist with joy, and she raised her hand. Mammy Xu handed over a list, and Qiao put it in Zhijin's hand and said, "This is mother's dowry, and Zhijin brought it with her." past."

Zhijin was surprised, flipped through it, and immediately returned it, "How can this make..." She felt a little regretful, a mother is always a mother, and there is no one who does not love her daughter. She shouldn't have said so bluntly just now to make her mother unable to step down.But looking at her mother's gratified face, Zhijin felt warm in her heart.

"Mother, you should put these away, and keep them for you and Zhihang..."

Qiao refused, and said with a wry smile: "Zhao and Xie Yuanzhou have already decided on the dowry, and they will definitely not let it go. It is better to give it to you. Besides, the mother's dowry should have been given to the daughter. Zhihang is from the Xie family. The eldest son, if he wants to inherit, he will also inherit the Xie family's family business."

"Mother..." Zhijin hesitated to speak.

"Okay, don't push it, put away the things, and we will carry the dowry tomorrow. We have made all the arrangements, so don't worry." Qiao stood up with a smile and walked out. Zhijin stood up and chased after two steps, but was stopped by Qiao, " Well, you are busy."

After Mrs. Qiao left, Zhijin felt a little bitter while holding the dowry list, and even felt a little annoyed why she hadn't managed to get her mother out in the past few years.

In the end, she still cared about being thrown away, and even blamed Qiao Shi.Sometimes she wondered if Qiao's life would have been different from now if she had married her own father.

But she was about to get married, and when she looked at Qiao Shi, she didn't complain as much as she expected.

Zhijin sighed, handed the dowry list to Yue Ban for her to put it away, and when she raised her eyes again, she returned to her previous blandness.

"Girl, don't think too much. Most of the mother's dowry is for the daughter. Madam is right. Even if the young master is still young, he will inherit the Xie family's property. When the girl is married, it will be better to help the young master." That's it." Yue Ban comforted after collecting the dowry list.

Xie's property?
Zhijin smiled, squinted at Yueban and asked, "What other valuable property does the Xie family have?"

Yue Ban was stunned for a moment, then laughed, isn't it, Xie's family is just an empty shell now, without those shops and Zhuangzi, Xie Yuanzhou's salary alone can have any property.Qi Zhen collected all those shops, no matter they were valuable or not. If Xie Yuanzhou hadn't been in a hurry, how could he have taken the idea of ​​Qiao's dowry.

On the second day, according to the rules, the bride's dowry should be carried to her husband's house and put away in advance.Early in the morning, Xie Yuanzhou was talking about the dowry. Seeing Mrs. Qiao coming in, he suppressed his smile and said, "My daughter is married, is the dowry ready?"

Qiao Shi nodded expressionlessly: "They are all ready to be settled properly." She didn't ask why both daughters were married to Duke Huai at all.

Xie Yuanzhou coughed in embarrassment twice and raised his eyes to see Qiao's expressionless and unwilling to talk to him, Xie Yuanzhou was inexplicably guilty, thinking that he would give all of Qiao's dowry to Zhimian today, Xie Yuanzhou suddenly felt sorry for Qiao's.

After all, he was the one who was willing to marry her more than ten years ago, and after being imprisoned for so many years, it seems that this punishment is enough. Looking at Qiao's still pretty face, Xie Yuanzhou pursed his lips, and said, "Yu Rui... "

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Qiao raised his head and looked at him coldly, "Master is busy, so I won't bother you. Farewell." After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Xie Yuanzhou's fair face turned red, and he held back the words he hadn't said yet. Looking at Qiao's graceful figure, and remembering Qiao's sarcastic remarks, Xie Yuanzhou suddenly became angry, and felt that it was too cheap to just take the dowry she is gone.

Qiao deserved to be punished like this. Whoever gave him a cuckold back then, if she had told him earlier that she was pregnant, he would never have married her.

This thought made Xie Yuanzhou stunned.I couldn't help but ask myself: If Joe had told her that she was pregnant in advance, would he still insist on marrying her?

This question will never be answered, because it has become a fact.

Not far away, Aunt Zhao bit her lip angrily, staring at Xie Yuanzhou full of sorrow, he still cared about Mrs. Qiao, even if Mrs. Qiao was sorry for him, even if Mrs. Qiao ignored him, Xie Yuanzhou still cared about Mrs. Qiao.

Aunt Zhao stood in the dark and took a few breaths to calm down, then put on a smile, took out her handkerchief and walked towards Xie Yuanzhou with a smile.

"My lord, everything has been arranged properly. The dowry has been carried out, so there must be no problem." Mrs. Zhao happily poured tea and handed it to Xie Yuanzhou. Xie Yuanzhou took it, sighed, and nodded.

Aunt Zhao felt sour in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she said leisurely: "Just now Ma'am...do you have any doubts?"

Xie Yuanzhou glanced at her, and said dully: "I didn't say anything, I guess I thought the dowry was for Xie Zhijin. With her heart, she probably wouldn't doubt it."

How could she doubt that Mrs. Qiao has not been able to calculate since she was young, otherwise she would not have allowed herself to lock her up for more than ten years. If she knew how to calculate, she would be able to hide Xie Zhijin's life experience, so how could she ask herself Just say it.

Xie Yuanzhou thought of Qiao Shi when he was young, and his expression was a little dazed.Aunt Zhao looked at it, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Thanks to her dedication to Xie Yuanzhou all these years, Xie Yuanzhou still missed Qiao Shi in the end.

But she didn't want to make herself angry, she already knew Xie Yuanzhou's disposition, and she had come here for more than ten years.So what if Mrs. Qiao occupies Xie Yuanzhou's heart, Xie Yuanzhou still doesn't want to see Mrs. Qiao's two children.And her Zhimian and Zhisong are Xie Yuanzhou's heart.

Thinking of her children, Aunt Zhao's mood improved. Zhimian fought her own way and climbed up the big tree of Duke Huai. Duke Huai's side concubine is always a head taller than the wives of other families.And that wild girl Xie Zhijin, from now on, will be begging for life under Zhimian's hands, and she will definitely make Xie Zhijin live or die.
