Chapter 110 (1/2)
After dinner, Mrs. Zhang found a chance to raise Xie's family in private.
”It seems that Mrs. heshberg is very satisfied with Jane, and the marriage should be successful if there is no accident. Sister in law, Jane is about to get married. Is her dowry ready? ”
Xie's direct swindled the last sentence and asked, ”does Mrs. hexiber really like Jane?”
Zhang nodded.
Xie said, ”Zhao Silang, I don't know what to do. I have to listen to my master first. If my master says it's OK, we can continue to talk about the marriage. ”
”Of course. In a child's family, it is not only the man who looks at the woman, but also the woman. I mean, if this marriage is done, the dowry of Jane should be prepared. For a family like haixibo's, the dowry of a girl can't be too shabby. At least, a dowry of five or six thousand taels should be prepared. ”
Xie frowned, ”five or six thousand taels of dowry? That's too much. ”
Zhang raised her eyebrows. ”I think it's too little. After all, it's the Earl's house. The young lady of the Earl's house only takes five or six thousand taels of dowry. Do you think there are more? Not afraid to be laughed at? ”
Xie's flat face, ”Jane girl is a commoner, which has the common out to prepare so much dowry truth.”
When she married Mr. Gu, her dowry was only 1000 Liang. That's all you've got.
Zhang Shi snorted and said, ”sister-in-law, Jane is indeed a commoner, but she married a young master of the house of Haixi.
If Jane married with only two or three thousand taels of dowry, it would be disgraced not only by Jane, but also by your brothers and sisters.
Maybe our big house will be implicated by you, saying that our family are all misers. ”
Xie was not happy. ”Is sister-in-law calling me stingy?”
”Zhang Shi seems to smile rather than smile,” but dare not scold younger sister-in-law. What I said just now is not only my personal opinion, but also the meaning of the old lady of the Marquis next door. ”
Xie's frown, ”did the old lady speak?”
Zhang nodded.
Xie's face was irritable, and his heart secretly murmured about what the old lady would do if he married his daughter. He also sent someone to tell her not to be so mean.
Does she give the impression of being mean?
However, Xie's family forgot how she despised Ma Ma when she said she would marry a common woman and give her daughter at most one or two thousand Liang at most.
She paid for it. She was no better than ma. They are all reluctant to pay.
Xie didn't dare to listen to the old lady's words.
”I know what the old lady means. If this marriage is really possible, I will prepare a dowry of 6000 taels for Jane
Zhang's satisfaction nodded, ”sister-in-law can think like this, I'm relieved.”
Xie's mouth says, want to prepare 6000 liang of dowry for Gu Zhen. In my heart, I had a different idea.
I knew that Gu Zhen had to prepare so much dowry when she got married to haixibo mansion. It was better not to do this marriage.
Compared with Gu Zhen's life, of course, money is more important.
The maid came to report that the stage was ready.
Together, Xie and Zhang invited the ladies and girls to the theater.
Gu's family invited famous opera troupes in the capital. All the ladies were interested in the reputation of the troupes.
After talking and laughing, we went to the theater and sat down separately.
Hsieh's positive attitude was not to go to Mrs. heiseberg.
If Mrs. heshberg was dissatisfied and rejected the marriage, she would be satisfied.
Zhao Erlang and Zhao Silang, two young masters of haixibo mansion, go to the theater to have a good time.
When Mrs. heshberg saw her son, she began to laugh. ”Come and see two ladies and ladies.”
Zhao Erlang, Zhao sirang, greets Xie and Zhang, and ladies.
The first time Xie and Zhang saw the two young masters of the Zhao family, they nodded in succession. They all looked good, and Zhao Erlang was better.
But think of Zhao Erlang Ke's wife and the rumor of a bad temper, sure enough, a man can't be judged by his appearance.
In this way, Zhao Silang is more agreeable.
Xie's light cough a, to servant girl spring he says: ”go to invite big girl.”
Chunhe retreated with a smile.
After a while, Gu Zhen was invited.
Xie said to her, ”these two are the second and fourth young masters of haixibo mansion.”
As soon as Gu Zhen heard this, her cheeks turned red and even her ears turned red.
Gu Zhenfu fufu body, ”met Zhao Er Ge, Zhao Si Ge.”
”Dear sister, you are welcome.” Zhao Silang looks at Gu Zhen with a smile.
Gu Zhen's face became more and more red, like a cooked shrimp.
She did not dare to look up. She stepped back to Xie's back and stood still. Then she looked at Zhao Silang with the rest of her eyes.
It's really nice.
This is Gu Zhen's first impression of Zhao Silang.
Then, Gu Zhen's heart beat faster, bang bang, as if to jump out.Gu Zhen was more and more shy, and she was at a loss.
I'm so nervous.
Xie boasted of Zhao Erlang, Zhao Silang and Zhang's agreement.
Mrs. heshberg said with a reserved smile, ”the two ladies are very much praised. They are not as good as you say.”
With that, Mrs. Hesper waved, ”don't stand in front of your eyes and stop us from watching the play.”
Zhao Si Lang seems to be more lively, more comfortable, ”son and second brother go downstairs, what mother has to tell people to go downstairs and say it.”
”Go ahead and have a good time. Don't be naughty.”
Gu Zhen secretly watched the two young masters of the Zhao family leave the theater, biting his lips, some reluctant to give up.
As soon as the two brothers of the Zhao family came down to the theater, a servant girl came and asked, ”the second young master, the fourth young master, and the sixth girl, please go to the atrium.”
”What's the sixth sister doing in the atrium instead of upstairs?”
”Six girls said, listen to the opera is boring, or the garden fun.”
Zhao Erlang said grimly, ”I won't go.”
Zhao Silang said, ”please help yourself, second brother. I'll go to the atrium and have a look. In any case, it can't spoil the interest of the six sisters. ”
Zhao Erlang snorted coldly, ”you can accompany her to make a fool of yourself.” Then he walked away.
Zhao Silang asked the servant girl to lead the way in front of him and rushed to the atrium.
On the stage, Gu Zhen just sat down in her position, and a servant girl came quietly to her.
”Little girl, I saw young master Zhao Si go to the atrium just now. I heard that three girls and Zhao six are also in the atrium. ”
Gu Zhen heard the speech and frowned, ”are you telling me the truth?”
”I dare not deceive you. Do you want to go to the atrium? If it's late, I'm afraid something will happen. ”
Gu Zhen thought Gu yuesu was impure. Would she take the opportunity to attack Zhao Silang and secretly destroy her marriage?
The more you think about it, the more likely it is.
Gu Zhen took a deep breath and said to Gu Jiu, ”second sister, it's very stuffy here. I'll take a breath outside.”
Gu Jiu asked, ”does the big sister not listen to the opera?”
Gu Zhen shook her head. ”I don't like this play. If someone asks me where I've been, my second sister will cover up for me
Gu Jiu nodded, ”big sister, go. If there's anything I can do for a servant girl, I'll do it. ”
”Thank you, second sister.”
Gu Zhen got up and quietly left the theater with her maid.
Gu Mei noticed the movement here and asked Gu Jiu: ”sister Zhen left, what are you going to do?”
Gu Jiu said in a low voice: ”big sister said it was too stuffy here. She went out to have a breath and would come back soon.”
Gu Mei covered her lips and laughed, ”I see, sister Zhen is shy. Her cheek is so red that it's time to go out and breathe. ”
Gu Jiu then laughed, ”I didn't expect big sister to be so shy.”
”It seems that sister Zhen is very satisfied with Zhao Silang.”
Gu Jiu nods.
When Zhao Si Lang went upstairs to greet her, she also glanced at her eyes, which made a good first impression. Although he was a common man, he didn't have the common family spirit of a young master.
It was natural and fluent to see his reply to Mrs. heiseberg. If you want to get along with each other in private, you should look like this.
However, Zhao Erlang, always cold face, almost did not put the word impatient on the forehead.
Gu Jiu didn't think much and continued to listen to the opera.
Although he didn't understand the opera very well, it didn't hinder Gu Jiu from listening with interest. In this year and age, there are too few entertainment projects. It's a good choice to have a chance to listen to the opera.
At the beginning, I didn't understand. After listening to it slowly, I also heard some charm.
Looking at the other wives and girls, they almost devoted themselves to the opera, and they all enjoyed it.
