The eldest lady looked at the dowry list and said coldly, "It's not even half of Yanran's. I know she can't give anything good."
The third lady prepared an ordinary dowry, which was as different as possible from what Lou Zhentian had prepared. Lou Yanran took it and took a look, but she didn't think it had any special features, except for the Su-style Begonia mirror stand, which was a little delicate.
Xianglan said, "Miss Cousin has been in the warehouse for a long time and seems to like the Su-style Begonia mirror stand very much."
The eldest lady couldn't hide her pride and pride and said, "Zhuang Qingping can only prepare this one good thing for her. It is comparable to my mother's house, which gives Yanran a cart with many good things."
Xiangyun complimented, "What Madam said is that you don't have to worry about the dowry this time. My cousin is not as good as my lady."
"Who said I was worried?" the eldest lady argued. Lou Yanran shook her head, put the dowry list on the table, took the Biluochun on the table, and took a sip.
The eldest lady said, "Yanran, why don't you say anything? Are you unhappy?"
"It's nothing, mother is overly worried." Lou Yanran said, whether she is happy or unhappy, that is the fact.
The maid who was checking out of the eldest lady also took a sip of tea and said sincerely, "Yanran, mother knows what you are thinking, don't think about it anymore and make yourself miserable. When a rich family marries, true love is the least important thing, a man's
How long can true love last? It's just a temporary desire for novelty. Back then, my mother was also young and beautiful, and she was the most beautiful in Fengcheng. When we first got married, your father never said that he would only love your mother for the rest of his life, and there would be no one else. Back then.
We had vowed to each other and had a lot of tender love, but within half a year, your father fell in love with the second aunt, and despite her crying and begging, he was determined to marry his second wife. He also said that her mother was jealous, and also said that he wanted to ask for a letter to go home.
Ask your aunt's grandma how she taught her daughter to be so ignorant of etiquette that she prevented her husband from taking concubines. When my mother first came to the Lou family, she was also a gentle and kind-hearted person. She only wanted to grow old with your father, but what happened in the end?
Men, any true feelings are all fake, just to trick women's tears and sincerity. If you are smart, don't care about these things."
"You said you fell in love with Cheng Mubai, it was love at first sight, but Yanran, the prince loves Buhui, so what's the point of forcing you to marry him. Don't say that the person he loves today is Yun Buhui, if he really wants to love you, you can promise
How long can he love you? One month, two months, or one year? There will still be a new person after all. Then you will be heartbroken in vain, just like your mother was. Let’s not talk about Cheng Mubai, let’s talk about Cheng Youtian, he
You will not only have one wife, but you will definitely take concubines."
"Instead of being sad in the future, it's better to treat your true feelings as fake. Don't be too serious. Just live your life. Your own comfort is the most important. If you put too much emotion into a man, you will be the one who gets hurt in the future. Why should you bother?"
The eldest lady has spent her whole life fighting for favor and power with the second lady and the third lady. At the beginning, she didn't know that the girl who was not familiar with the world, step by step, has grown to be mean, vain, cruel, and vicious.
The only problem I have is that I don't care much about the love of wealthy families, and I care for my children sincerely.
When I was a young girl, who was not an innocent person who was favored by Sanqian and didn't know much about the world?
Lou Yanran didn't expect that she would say these words. She stared at her mother in surprise, as if she was meeting her for the first time. She never thought that her mother was so wise and transparent.
"Mother..."
"Yanran, listen, Shaoqi is unsatisfactory, romantic and gambling, far inferior to Lou Kaiyang. Although Yanyun is smart, she is a bit petty and can't get on the big stage. Mom's hopes are all on you, don't let her down, you know
"Is that so?" the eldest lady said, "women from aristocratic families live not only for their own selfish desires, but also for their family. If you can give up, you give up."
"Mom, there's only so much I can tell you. You should think clearly about whether it's good or bad."
Lou Yanran listened to the eldest lady's words and remained silent for a long time.
At noon the next day, Yun Buhui was writing in the attic when Jing Nan sent her a picture of plum blossoms in three lanes painted by Cheng Mubai. She couldn't put it down and admired it for an hour.
Bingyue smiled and said, "The prince is really versatile."
Yun Buhui smiled but didn't answer. She really liked it. Is Cheng Mubai a roundworm in her belly? She likes most of the things Jing Nan sends every time, especially recently, it has become more and more to her liking.
The master and the servant were admiring the paintings. The old lady beside Lou Zhentian came to send a message, saying that the master wanted to send the cousin to the hall. Yun Buhui raised his eyebrows and asked what was going on. The old lady was very impatient and said
She didn't know what was going on. Yun Buhui didn't care about the attitude of the servants in the house, thinking that Lou Zhentian might be arranging a marriage and asked her to attend. Yun Buhui put on a coat and took Bingyue with him.
Go to the front room.
When she and Bingyue arrived at the front hall, people from the third room were all here, sitting or standing in the same hall. The master went upstairs and was very angry. The eldest lady next to him also had an angry look on his face. The second lady was gloating about the misfortune, and the third lady was worried.
The hall was silent.
Yun Buhui knew that something big had happened as soon as she saw this posture. Normally, only when something big happened would the whole family gather in the hall. She calmly walked to stand next to Lou Chunying, with Bingyue standing behind her.
The third lady glanced at Yun Buhui and shook her head slightly. Yun Buhui frowned and didn't know what he meant. He could only stand aside silently. Lou Yanran and Lou Yanyun were sitting, with their personal maids waiting behind them, and the other children.
All standing.
Not all members of the Lou family have arrived yet. Lou Shaoqi, Lou Mingyu and Lou Anning haven't arrived yet. Yun Buhui has seen her uncle so angry for the first time. Her uncle was also a bloody man when he was young.
The same thing happened in the same year. Later, the three ladies competed with each other, and the uncle's bloody temper was smoothed out. It was too late to ask for a family and everything was prosperous. Ordinary things just turned a blind eye and passed by. He was furious. It must be a big deal.
.
Just when Yun Buhui was about to ask Lou Chunying what happened, he saw Lou Shaoqi running in hurriedly, "Father, mother, the child is late, and I kept you waiting for a long time."
"Sit aside." The eldest lady looked unhappy, but her tone was not serious. Lou Shaoqi was usually used to being casual and unrestrained, but today he did not dare to be arrogant and sat calmly in his seat.
After a while, Lou Mingyu and Lou Anning also arrived. They were still young, one was fourteen years old and the other was thirteen years old. Both of them were timid and afraid of getting into trouble. They stood aside and did not dare to look up at anyone.
, when the second lady saw that her two daughters were so unsatisfactory, a burst of fire kept rising in her heart, and her face suddenly sank.
When everyone arrived, Lou Zhentian glanced at the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper said, "Today at noon, the eldest lady and the third lady went to the warehouse to get the mirror table and paint it black. Unexpectedly, they found that the third lady's dowry was missing six pieces of jewelry.
