Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 30 Rebuke

   Zhao Zhongyu opened the two scrolls of silk and saw that there was a big difference between the two. Zhao Sanniang's dowry was almost five times that of Zhao Erlang's betrothal gift.

Of course, he didn't think that the elder brother was putting women over men. He stared at some books, calligraphy and paintings on the dowry list. These were treasures that could be heirlooms. Obviously, the elder brother still didn't trust him, so he had to transfer these things reasonably. After leaving the Zhao family, he wanted to pass the married Zhao Sanniang's hand and return to Zhao Erlang's hand.

   But how could he be sure that Fu Jiaken would hand over what he had?

   Once the Fu family repents, will Zhao Sanniang send the dowry back to her family?

   Zhao Zhongyu pondered: "Brother, is Erlang's dowry too little?"

He said: "Erlang is honest and honest, and he should be pampered even more, and Sanniang will be honored and disgraced by Fu Dalang in the future. Fu Dalang is talented and handsome, and his future achievements will definitely not be low. The list is exchanged, or it is better to ask Erlang to marry a daughter from an aristocratic family."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded again and again with a look of approval, "Yeah, grandfather, I don't need so much dowry, I'll give it to my brother."

Zhao Changyu glanced at her, and sighed with Zhao Zhongyu: "Erlang is an idiot, but he is a man and can stand on his own, but Sanniang is different, women are naturally weak, and after I go, I can only entrust her to her. Take care of you, I always want to leave more things for her, in the future, the Fu family will bully her, and they will have the capital to establish their own business,"

   Zhao Hanzhang said unwillingly: "But the dowry gift left to my brother is too thin, grandfather, give some to my brother from me."

   Zhao Changyu: "...That's all, I'll take out some private houses and fill it in for him."

  Zhao Zhongyu:…

   He understood, Zhao Changyu had already made up his mind, and it was basically impossible to change.

   He put down the two scrolls of silk and said, "It's fine for the eldest brother to call the shots."

  Zhao Changyu nodded, "I don't have much time, so tomorrow I will invite the Fu family to come to discuss Sanniang's wedding date, and by the way, fix the dowry list."

   Zhao Zhongyu clenched his fists and asked, "I wonder who the Fu family hired as a matchmaker?"

  The King of the East Sea is impossible. Recently, Fu Zhen and the King of the East Sea had a disagreement over the matter between the King of Hejian and Jingzhao County, and they haven't decided yet.

   Zhao Changyu said: "I don't know yet, but I think Zizhuang will not wrong Sanniang."

   So the identity of the person who came here is definitely not low, and he is the matchmaker to witness. As long as Zhao Zhongyu still wants fame, he must ensure that Zhao Hanzhang gets the things on the dowry list.

   Zhao Zhongyu was very unhappy in his heart, and felt that his elder brother underestimated him, and such a defensive attitude made him deeply offended.

   But Zhao Changyu was pale and in poor health at this time, and Zhao Zhongyu didn't dare to argue with him, for fear of making a quarrel with him.

   Zhao Zhongyu got up, "Since Big Brother has made a decision, so be it."

  Zhao Changyu, "You set aside time tomorrow, and let Ji Zhi be with me tomorrow. He is the prince, and Sanniang is a major event on a regular basis, and he needs his uncle to help."

   Zhao Zhongyu glanced at his son and responded.

   Zhao Changyu showed fatigue, and everyone said goodbye wisely.

   Zhao Zhongyu walked out of the main courtyard of the big house and strode forward, Zhao Ji chased behind, "Father, let Sanniang bring so many things to marry, wouldn't it not divide the power of our family and enrich the family of others?"

   Zhao Zhongyu kept walking: "Your uncle is sick and confused. At this time, he only thinks about the orphans in the big house. How can he think of the family? But he is the head of the family for one day, and he will be the master of the family."

   Zhao Ji: "But there are too many dowries."

   Zhao Zhongyu stopped, "Do you think those things are really for Sanniang? It's just that he couldn't trust us, father and son, so he gave Erlang's share to Sanniang for safekeeping."

   Zhao Ji blushed, "Why does my uncle speculate on us? Are we that kind of people?"

   Zhao Zhongyu glared at him fiercely and said, "Isn't it your fault? I heard that you went to Qingyi Pavilion a few days ago to lose your temper, and you even passed the Wang family to deal with the servants beside her?"

   Zhao Ji lowered his head and said, "It's those servants who are too abhorrent and sow discord... My son is also worried that Wang and Sanniang are ignorant and young, and they will be provoked by their servants..."

"Okay, you don't have to argue with me, no matter what your original intentions are, your uncle only sees that you don't respect the big house, the engagement was after that night, and the dowry list was also listed after that night," Zhao Zhongyu said with a displeased expression. "It's time for you to beat Mrs. Wu. As the mistress of the house, your primary responsibility is to support your husband and teach your son. Our second room and the eldest room are in the same vein. They and Sanniang Erlang are blood relatives, and the family fights like this. What is it like? A few good children have been taught by her to be bad."

   Zhao Ji lowered his head and dared not speak.

   Zhao Zhongyu snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.

   Early the next morning, Zhao Hanzhang sent someone to send a letter to Fu Tinghan from the West Corner Gate, stating that he could not go out today.

  Although she thought he should follow him regularly, she still had to let him know in advance.

   Mrs Wang came over with dark circles under her eyes, followed by a group of maids.

   "This is the clothes A-Niang found for you, come and try it."

   Zhao Hanzhang just glanced at it and said, "It's too bright, are there any plain ones?"

   "Today is your regular good day, how can you wear plain colors?"

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Grandfather is still ill."

"Then it's time to wear bright colors, just rush, maybe it will be fine, and your grandfather is also happy to see you dressed well." Wang took the clothes and gestured on her, and whispered: "Last night I haven't slept all night, and I've been thinking about the dowry your grandfather gave you, but I didn't expect that your grandfather would bring you so many things, and there is no second room at all."

"As long as the wedding date is set today, and the name and seal are on the dowry list, then this matter is done," Wang said, "With this money, even if the second room really doesn't care about us in the future, we can have no worries about food and clothing. And with that betrothal gift from your brother, marrying a daughter from a small family will not be a problem."

   "Auntie, don't think about Erlang's betrothal gift. When the eldest uncle inherits the title, the betrothal gift will be kept by the clan. Whether it will arrive or not will be in Erlang's hands."

   Wang Shi was taken aback, "They dare to be greedy for ink!?"

"Erlang hasn't got a marriage now, and he can't move things to his Yue family, and no one can notarize him. At that time, he will either use the excuse of family hardship, or use the reason that he needs to do something in the family, slow down. Use up the things slowly, can we still force the second room to spit out the things?"

   "Then you put so much effort into it last night?"

   "If I didn't say that, my uncle and grandfather wouldn't know how many times I would discuss about my dowry. My grandfather is not in good health, and I don't have so much time to spend with him."

The Wang family automatically divided the items on the dowry list into two parts in her heart, and she felt distressed instantly, "How much is missing, it's a loss, a loss, Sanniang, why don't you act like a spoiled child with your grandfather and let him Move the items on Erlang's dowry list to your dowry list?"

"It would be too conspicuous. If it spreads out, outsiders may think about our Zhao family's jokes. They will not only say that the second house is planning to calculate the property of the big house, but also that the discussion may be the heart of our big house and the villain, malicious speculation. The second room will even damage my grandfather's reputation."

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "That's good."

   This dowry list was chosen by Zhao Changyu after several days of effort, so he couldn't disrupt his plans.

   See you at 8pm
