Chapter 446

On the third day of the first lunar month, Jing Rui brought his father, grandmother, and two carts of gifts to Xiao Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

As soon as the carriage of the General's Mansion arrived in front of the gate of Xiao's house, some people from the neighbors came out to watch the fun. After all, I had never seen any relatives with such a big battle, and when they saw the gifts removed from the carriage, they were all envious. .

The Xiao family knew that Jing Rui would come over today, but they didn't expect his father and grandmother to come together.

After a few greetings, Mrs. Cheng got straight to the point: "My grandma, this year has passed, and Jing Rui is not too young. The marriage of these two children should be put on the agenda."

This was what was discussed before, the old lady of the Xiao family nodded and said, "I just returned to Beijing to settle before, and I didn't care about preparing a dowry for Yi'er.

Yier's birthday is on the 26th of the third month of the lunar calendar. I think that the time in May is too busy, and the next few months are too hot and not suitable. In addition, we have to prepare a dowry, and it will be in September. What do you think, I just happened to leave Yier at home for August 15th.

Although the General's Mansion wanted them to get married as soon as possible, it was not in a hurry.

As for the specific wedding date, the general's mansion can find someone to count the auspicious day, but the date of the appointment has been fixed, on the third day after Yun Yi's birthday.

Originally, the old lady of the Xiao family said that she had been hired in northern Xinjiang before, but the general's mansion insisted on following the rules of the capital.

Mrs. Xiao thought about the family of the General's Mansion, and also thought that the General's Mansion was the only son who had not been with him since he was a child. She was afraid that she wanted to make up for Jing Rui, so she nodded in agreement.

When the people from the General's Mansion left, Mrs. Xiao was a little worried: "Yi Er, we will not move the things hired by the General's Mansion, and we will give you all the dowry and go back, hey, grandma is really sorry for you, even the dowry is your own. to earn."

Xiao Chenrui didn't feel good either. He felt that the Xiao family really owed too much to his sister. If it weren't for her sister's efforts, he and his younger brother would not be today.

Yun Yi laughed: "Okay, don't feel that you owe me. With your company, I have motivation. We are mutual achievements."

In the days that followed, everyone was busy.

One day Yun Yi was about to go out when she heard Su Ye come in and report, "Miss, Xiao Yiping is here."

Yun Yi immediately went to the front yard.

Xiao Yiping saw Yun Yi coming over: "I have seen the master."

After Yun Yi took the tea in the maid and exited, she said, "Sit down."

Xiao Yiping found a seat by the door and sat down: "Master, all the items you gave before were taken away by someone, and you got 19,000 taels of silver, plus the 26,000 taels you gave, your subordinates ordered three One shop, four villagers, and there are more than three thousand taels left."

After saying that, she handed over a stack of things, and Yun Yi was very satisfied after reading it.

Looking at the remaining 3,000 or so silver, I also thought about it: "Then let's take a trip today. Since the shop has been picked up, we can't leave it empty."

So Yun Yi made a temporary change to today's itinerary, and went back to the yard to change into men's clothes and left the house with Xiao Yiping.

I went to see those three shops first. Two of them are on the same street, not too far away. The size of the shops is similar, and the locations are also good.

Yun Yi asked suspiciously, "How did you manage to be in such a good position?"

Xiao Yiping coughed lightly: "These shops were originally owned by a third-rank official who committed a crime. There are more than a dozen shops under his name. Originally, it was not our turn. Got these two shops."
