Chapter 1057 Set a Date
"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious." Mrs. Cui supported the third grandma, patted her back, comforted her, and said to Mrs. Chen: "Brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu Er said that Miss Xu's nickname is Linglong, this name is great, it makes people like it just by listening to it. When the time comes, Brother Xing can just call her Linglong. Besides, Miss Xu has a good appearance and temperament. She is generous, sensible and respects her elders. She will not look down on us country people. , much better than Xu Ling."
He added: "Our family has just become rich and has a shallow foundation. Many ladies from rich families will despise us, but Miss Xu has no intention of despising us. It can be seen that she is a far-sighted person. Marrying such a daughter-in-law can benefit three generations." .”
Marry a virtuous wife, and Miss Xu Zhong is a virtuous and generous girl.
Ms. Chen was still a little unhappy: "Xu Zhong is very sensible, but what's the use of being sensible? Her family is the second wife, so she can't divide much of the family property."
To put it bluntly, he dislikes the Xu Zhong family and cannot inherit the Xu family. It is a typical example of hating the poor and loving the rich.
Gu Jinli said to Erqing: "Go and ask Da Tuan, has Mr. Xu left a message?"
Since he was here to hint at the proposal of marriage, the servant should also leave some words.
"Eh." Erqing left the flower hall and went to ask Da Tuan for questioning. He actually asked a key question. He came back and told Gu Jinli: "Little boss, Da Tuan said that Manager Xu accidentally mentioned that Mr. Xu wanted to break up. In terms of property. It is said that Mr. Xu was angry that Dafang did not teach Xu Ling well, so he decided to let Dafang inherit only 40% of the family property, and the remaining 60% was divided equally between the second and third bedrooms. Because Miss Xu is the first granddaughter of the Xu family , Mr. Xu will give her more dowry."
"What? Are you serious?" Mrs. Chen rushed over, grabbed Er Qing's hand and asked: "If the second wife of the Xu family really gets 30% of the family property, will Mr. Xu give Xu Zhong more dowry? How much more? Is there anyone? Is it accurate?"
Hey, if that's the case, then marrying Xu Zhong wouldn't be too bad.
Erqing nodded: "That's what Datuan said. If you don't believe it, you can ask Datuan in person. As for the extra dowry, it will be the first share for any girl in the Xu family."
It was the first one among the Xu family girls. Mrs. Chen’s eyes lit up when she heard it, but she still asked: “Is it more than Xu Ling’s?”
Erqing nodded: "Yes, more than Xu Ling."
"Seriously? Hey, that's great. That stinky girl Xu Ling has such a bad temper. You should treat her like this to let her know how powerful she is." Mrs. Chen felt relieved, but she still disliked Xu Zhong: "Second room, it would be worthless if it were a branch of the family. The side branch is not as good as the direct branch."
"Xiao Ji, go get the broom. I'll beat this old lady to death today for not being able to carry it!" The third grandma couldn't bear it anymore and hit Mrs. Chen with the broom.
Mrs. Chen quickly begged for mercy: "Don't be angry. I just want to find a better wife for Brother Xing. It's normal to compare... Hey, don't hit her!"
The third grandmother was so angry by Mrs. Chen that she didn't want to move. Mrs. Cui helped her sit on the chair and said, "Daughter-in-law Dashan, please tell her, I can't move anymore."
Mrs. Cui smiled, handed the third grandmother a bowl of soy milk, and said, "Don't be angry, let Xiaoyu talk to Dagui's siblings."
Dagui's siblings are afraid of Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu is more likely to listen.
Third Grandma: "Okay, let's talk about Xiaoyu."
Gu Jinli was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chen and said directly: "Xu Zhong is good and can manage the house. If Brother Dexing marries her, not only will he not have to worry about family affairs in the future, but when he becomes an official, Xu Zhong can also help him with advice. As for the side branches and direct branches, you yourself are the side branches, so I have nothing to say if you dislike yourself so much."
Chen was choked by the rebuke.
Mrs. Cui said: "Xiaoyu is right. Whether your life is good or not depends not on the direct descendants, but on the people... Although Xu Zhaoming is in the Xu family's big house, Xu Zhaoming's parents are carrying It's unclear, otherwise Xu Ling wouldn't be taught like that. The second wife of the Xu family is pretty good, and Mrs. Lu is such a good person."
The third grandma was too lazy to look at Mrs. Chen anymore and said angrily: "Get out of here quickly. We have to entertain people from the Qin family and the Luo family, so we don't have time to talk to you."
He added: "As for Miss Xu, you and your wife will talk to Dafu today. Whether it can happen or not, Dafu will have the final say with Brother Xing. If you are not willing to propose marriage, the old lady will bring a matchmaker. If you dare to hide it, If you don’t tell me, I’ll tear you apart.”
When Mrs. Chen saw that the third grandmother and Gu Jinli were both angry, she hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, I know how powerful they are. When you get back, tell Dagui that when the eldest brother and Brother Xing come back, you and Dagui will go find them." Tell me about the Xu family."
After hearing this, the third grandma's anger subsided a little. She pointed to the two boxes of gifts and said: "These two boxes are the Xu family's apology to you. Take them away quickly."
He couldn't help but said: "Look how good the Xu family is at doing things. They will give you as much apology as the Dashan family. Just cherish your blessing."
If she keeps doing this, if her marriage to Brother Xing is ruined, she will fight her to the death!
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up. She didn't wait any longer and called Tian Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, come here and help Aunt carry the gifts back."
The third grandmother glared at her: "You know how to order people."
Tian Xiaohua didn't care. She smiled and said to the third grandma: "I'm just helping my aunt with some work. It's nothing. Third grandma, don't feel bad for me."
Then he picked up the biggest box and left, not forgetting to tell Gu Jinli: "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm going back first, and I'll come back to you tomorrow to learn something."
Sister Xiaoyu's family was going to discuss the engagement ceremony, so she couldn't wait too long.
"Sure, you can come anytime tomorrow." Gu Jinli still likes Tian Xiaohua very much. She is sensible and can work well without being annoying. When he sees her busy with business, he will leave in a sensible way.
"I'll go back first, otherwise my mother will blame me again." Luo Huiniang waved to Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu, and left carrying the box with Tian Xiaohua.
Mrs. Chen was unhappy and muttered: "This girl Huiniang just doesn't have the eyesight to see. She only has two boxes and she doesn't know how to move one. She has to carry it with Xiaohua."
But she didn't dare to speak too loudly, and went back with the box in her arms.
After they left, Mrs. Cui said to Zhu Camellia: "Camellia, take Xiaoxue to divide the Xu family's gifts and send them to several families."
"Hey." Zhu Camellia responded and took Tong Xiaoxue to move the gifts to the side hall to pack them away.
Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli were urged by Mrs. Cui to return to the courtyard where they lived: "You two will stay in the boudoir today, and then the female elders of the groom's family will go to the boudoir to see you. Don't think it's a burden, this is a rule, you can't Less."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Jinli specifically, which made Gu Jinli feel helpless: "Brother Qin's family has no female elders, so no one comes to see me."
Ms. Cui said: "Your mother, Rob, will look after the Qin family. Just stay at home and go to the pharmaceutical workshop tomorrow."
Gu Jinli had no choice but to take Erqing and Xiaoji back to the house and continue to struggle with the backlog of ledgers.
Mrs. Cui and the third grandma went to prepare dinner for the Qin family and the Luo family.
Gu Jinan and Brother Cheng remembered the time when the two families came to visit, so they returned home before Shen Shi, put on clean and festive clothes and waited.
