Twin Brocade

Chapter 170 Greed
Since he is here to ask for the daughter of the Fang family, it should be the other party who speaks first.

Who knew that Cui Wei looked young and so treacherous.In the outer courtyard, she clamored for a kiss, but she avoided talking about it after she came in.

In this case, whoever brings up the matter first loses half the chip.Regardless of whether Fang Mudi wants to marry into the Hou's Mansion or not, this is the first time they meet, they can't lose their momentum.

After all, it was Guichenghou's mansion who came to ask for marriage, not Fang's family crying to marry each other.

That's why she chatted slowly with the other party.Seeing that Cui Wei was about to be overwhelmed, he was destroyed by Pang's words.

Pang is just the daughter of a seventh-rank official, so she doesn't know the tricks in it.When she heard that Guichenghou's mansion came to propose marriage, she was very conflicted.I was happy to be able to climb this big tree, but also heartbroken that the 3000 silver that was almost in hand disappeared.

She couldn't wait to find out the purpose of the other party's visit, so she asked.But the atmosphere that followed made her realize that she must have said something wrong.

Pang's fists hidden in his sleeves clenched secretly, thinking: I hate these aristocratic families the most!The nagging always made her puzzled.

After a long silence, I heard Si Lansheng say: "Housekeeper Cui, this is Miss Di's aunt. If you have anything to say, you can talk to her directly."

Hearing this, Pang quickly put aside the thoughts just now, sat up straight, and waited for Cui Wei to ask questions.

Cui Wei clasped his hands and said: "Second old lady, the little duke ran into Miss Di in the house yesterday. The second old lady raised such a good girl, and the little dude has been feeling very sad since he returned to the mansion, so he ordered me to come here to propose marriage."

Before he came, he had already inquired about the entire Fang family, and knew about Pang's character, so his words were tactful enough to give her enough face.

Pang was elated when he heard it, and asked forgetfully, "Young Master? When are you going to sign the marriage certificate?"

Cui Wei was taken aback, maybe this old lady is confused?
Would the young master who returned to Chenghou's mansion marry a mere concubine as his regular wife?The term courtship is just a euphemism, but it is actually a concubine.Such an obvious difference in identity, people with discerning eyes know it without thinking about it.

Si Lansheng also felt embarrassed by Pang's embarrassment, picked up the teacup and slowly blew off the foam on the surface, and drank the tea slowly.

Cui Wei coughed a few times, and said: "I'm afraid the second old lady has some misunderstanding. Our little duke already has a regular wife, and he came here this time because he wanted Miss Nadi to be his good concubine."

In desperation, he had no choice but to speak clearly, so that Ponzi could not continue to misunderstand.

"Good concubine?" Pang Shi stared until his eyes popped out.No one knows the difference between this concubine and a wife better than her.

She was able to treat the two mother and daughter pairs in the side courtyard wantonly, no matter the law or reason, she couldn't find anything wrong with her, at most she could be accused of being harsh.Isn't it because Cui Liu and Aunt Hu are both concubines?
She woke up from the dream of being in-laws with the Guichenghou Mansion, and said angrily: "The daughter I grew up in the palm of my hand is not married to be a concubine!"

Hearing her righteous words, Si Lansheng almost spit out the tea in his mouth.She is ashamed to say something about the daughter who grew up in the palm of her hand.Saying that, I just want to see what benefits I can get from Guichenghou's Mansion.

Cui Wei smiled and said, "It's only natural. Our Hou Mansion won't accept the Fang family's daughter for nothing."

He took out two land deeds from his hands, spread them out on the table between the two of them, and said, "Two ladies, please take a look, there is a house in the capital, and another [-] mu of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, as a bride price for Miss Di." .”

Just accepting concubines, the sincerity of Guicheng Houfu is extremely high.

Looking at these two land deeds, Pang's eyes almost grew hooks, and he kept staring at them.After a long while, he said: "This is a dowry gift, what about the dowry gift?"

In Gaomang's marriage custom, when the engagement is made, the gift given by the man is the bride price.

This part of the dowry gift belongs to the bride's private property, and it must be registered on the register, and it will be accompanied as a dowry after marriage.After marrying into the husband's house, together with the dowry list, it will be filed and sealed in the government office.

If a woman is willing to subsidize her husband's family with a dowry, no one cares about it.But if they want to reconcile and divorce, the husband's family must return the corresponding dowry in full according to this dowry list.If there is a deficit, it will be ordered to make up.

This is the greatest protection for women in Gao Mang's law.

In addition, in marriage, the gift money is not often mentioned.It is the money that the man directly gives to the woman's natal family when he proposes to marry, so as to obtain the ownership of the married woman. No matter what happens in the husband's family in the future, the natal family will not interfere.

This was the case with the marriage that Pang had seen for Fang Mudi, so everyone said she was selling her daughter.People who are a little more particular, even if they are small families, as long as they love their daughters, they will not accept this gift money.

Hearing that Pang Zi took the initiative to ask for it, Cui Wei worked hard to control his facial expression, so as not to show a look of contempt.

He put away the land deed, and said: "The second old lady said so, and I will report it to the mansion next time. The young master has not ordered it, so please forgive me for not being able to reply at this time."

Pang looked at the land deed he had put away, feeling extremely reluctant.

Both of these are good things. She knows how expensive a house in Beijing is, and she can't afford it with just a second room.Those 3000 mu of fertile land produce crops every year.All in all, it was much better than the [-] taels of silver.

The generosity of Guicheng Hou's mansion made her heart throb, and she wished to goug out a big lump from this piece of fat.Immediately smiled and said: "Then wait for the good news from Butler Cui."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Si Lansheng asked Yanxia to send Cui Wei out, while she talked to Pang and left the flower hall.

Ponzi was eager to sell his daughter's face, which made her very upset.Shaking his head, he put this matter behind him and remembered his daughter's marriage.Fang Jinhui's marriage is also at a critical juncture. She is optimistic about the two, but she hasn't found a chance to discuss it with her husband.

Cui Wei went out of Fangfu, went up to the third floor of a restaurant opposite, opened the door and went in.

He recounted the process in a respectful voice, and said: "Young Lord Hou is really good at predicting things."

Cui Sheng sat carelessly, with one hand resting on the back of the chair, and the other rubbing his chin.He put a pair of long legs crossed on the edge of the table, regardless of the fact that there was still a table of exquisite drinks on the table.

Hearing this, he smiled slightly at the corner of his lips, and said: "This is the golden phoenix that can fly out of the mud! That old godly woman has a big appetite, and she is not afraid of breaking her stomach."

As soon as he saw Fang Mudi yesterday, he was fascinated and never forgot. He sent someone to inquire about her early in the morning.

Knowing that Ponzi is greedy for money, I specially added the dowry to see her reaction.Sure enough, as he expected, that is an insatiable greedy person who dared to make the idea of ​​returning to Chenghou's mansion!
There was a glint of light in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "In this case, let her be alone, and she is not the only one who has the final say. There is nothing wrong with it, so let's play with her."
