Everyone in the Cheng family's house has been silent since hearing Mrs. Cheng's words, and everyone is thinking a lot.
Why does the Zhou family look at the Cheng family with eager eyes? Is it because they are afraid that they will abuse this idiot?
No, it's because of the dowry.
Why are the Cheng family so exhausted from talking to the Zhou family? Is it because they want to compete for the support of this idiot?
No, it's because of the dowry.
If you want to be a fool, you need a dowry, this is inseparable.
They never thought that these two things could be separated.
However, if a fool doesn't marry, the dowry will always be hers. If she does marry, she will naturally have a dowry. How can such a woman not have a dowry? If she has a dowry, she can't find anyone else. Who would want it without a dowry?
"It turns out that things in this world are indeed uncertain." Mrs. Cheng murmured, spinning the beads in her hand.
Yes, it turns out that there are really no absolutes in the world.
Everyone is thinking about it.
"Then, do your siblings really want to do this?" Mrs. Cheng asked again, "Does your father and mother also agree?"
Mrs. Cheng's expression was complicated.
That child is so spoiled that he wants stars but not the moon. So what if he doesn't agree?
Just saying this makes it seem like there are no rules in the family.
"Similar to my siblings, my parents also want to share our worries." She said vaguely.
This is the best time to rope in Mrs. Cheng.
Sure enough, Mrs. Cheng sighed.
"That's nonsense of hers!" she scolded, "sharing worries? She's just causing trouble for me!"
Mrs. Cheng Er has been grounded, and the only one being scolded in front of her is Mr. Cheng Er.
"Your seventeenth son is different." Mrs. Cheng sighed.
Although he is a dandy, he is not a shabby person. Besides, not everyone in this world can be a dandy if he wants to.
"But, they have intentions, how can we be so wanton?" Mrs. Cheng sighed again and said, "A good child, how can we destroy him."
"I see, my dear girl, she is not that stupid..." Mrs. Cheng forced a smile and said, "That is to say, she doesn't like to joke. Anyway, after getting married, she will not be used to socialize or..."
There is no need for her to reproduce and continue the bloodline. To put it bluntly, she is just a decorative toy.
"Really, you don't want a dowry?" Mrs. Cheng coughed and asked.
"Really, no." Mrs. Cheng said.
Mrs. Cheng sat back and leaned on the table, the rosary beads in her hand spinning faster and faster.
No dowry, just a person.
Is this the birth of the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and those in distress...
"Go tell the Zhou family." Mrs. Cheng waved her hand and said.
This is consent.
Mrs. Cheng smiled bitterly again, how could she disagree.
Mr. Cheng couldn't hide his joy, it was so good, so good.
Although Mr. Cheng Er is still a little disgraced, this solution is the best now.
There is no need for a dowry. As a father, in order to take care of his daughter's future career, he still has to do his best to take care of his daughter's dowry and supplement her daughter's income.
Both of them bowed their heads and said yes.
After listening to Mr. Cheng's words, Mr. Zhou felt as if he had seen a ghost.
Are you kidding me?
"Don't think that just finding a fool for my dear girl will solve the problem!" he said with a snort.
"What idiot? Go to Tingzhou and ask around. The seventeenth son of the Wang family is also a romantic figure." Mr. Cheng also snorted and looked at Mr. Zhou sideways, "I thought everyone could raise a fool like your Zhou family."
Mr. Zhou was furious and stood up with a glare.
"Cheng Zizhou, what are you talking about!" he shouted, and then sneered, "That fool's surname is Cheng, not Zhou."
"It's really hard for Mr. Zhou, you still know that fool's surname is Cheng and not Zhou." Mr. Cheng said neither yin nor yang.
The three of them stared at each other in a stalemate.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, and the girls kneeling on both sides lowered their heads and did not dare to vent their anger.
"Thirty-seven points." Mr. Cheng Er suddenly said.
"Deal, you three and we seven." Mr. Zhou immediately responded.
Master Cheng Er sighed.
"Who do you think you are! How dare you say that!" he said with a glare.
Master Zhou grabbed his arm.
"Cheng Dong!" He also said in a low voice, "For the sake of my Jiaojiao's surname, Cheng, I'll give you three points! You dare to ask for seven!"
Mr. Cheng Er shook off his hand.
"Zhou, don't push yourself too far. Let's go see the official and talk about it. I'll find a good family for my dear girl. It's a favor from others and not yours to ask for a dowry. You are so arrogant and want to take over your niece's dowry.
, What kind of peace of mind do you have! Let's go see the official! Let the people of the world give a good review." He shouted.
"Just judge. She doesn't ask for a dowry, so we really don't want to subsidize Jiao Jiao'er? I'm not holding these just for her. If I hand them over to you, who knows whether they will all be named Peng in the end." Mr. Zhou said nothing.
He sneered without showing any weakness.
"Four or six points." Mr. Cheng suddenly said.
"You are four and I am six." Mr. Zhou turned his head and said.
"You are four and I am six!" Mr. Cheng shouted with a glare.
While they were making a fuss, Mr. Zhou's young man crawled in outside the door.
"Master, Master, there is a letter from Madam." he shouted.
The three people who were huddled together in the room, staring and grabbing their arms, heard this and rolled their sleeves apart.
"How about this young master? You can't just do whatever you say. They are all members of your wife's natal family. Who knows if there are any shameful and dirty things about this? Our family will have to inquire and discuss it before we discuss it." Mr. Zhou said.
.
He reached out and took the letter.
Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng snorted.
"Just ask," they said, getting dressed and going out.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Mr. Zhou shouting behind me. I quickly turned around and saw that Mr. Zhou seemed to be sweating on his forehead. He was staring at the letter in his hand with a shocked look on his face.
"How could that happen?" he shouted in a voiceless voice.
"What's up?"
Although he wished that Mr. Zhou would close his eyes and kick his legs to death immediately, Mr. Cheng still asked with concern as a landlord.
Mr. Zhou came back to his senses and looked at him, then turned around and went into the inner room without saying anything.
The two Cheng brothers looked at each other, curled their lips and ignored each other.
In the evening, there was news that Mr. Zhou was leaving for Beijing.
The cowhide plaster could not be torn off no matter how hard it was, and it suddenly wanted to leave, and left very quickly. When the Cheng family master got the news, Mr. Zhou had already got on the carriage. He didn't even say much about Cheng Jiaoniang's marriage, and hurried on
The boy hurried away overnight before the city gate was closed.
What happened?
The Cheng family members were puzzled.
Could it be that you have come up with some new tricks to smooth things over with them?
Mr. Cheng rushed the boy to inquire.
Although Mr. Zhou used his own people, he still lived in the Cheng family, so there were some things that he couldn't hide. The boy soon found out.
"Has your official position been demoted?" Mr. Cheng was very surprised when he heard this, "How could he be demoted?"
Someone who has reached the level of Mr. Zhou does not expect to make any achievements, but his official career is also stable. Although he will not rise to the top, his qualifications will gradually increase with age. As long as he does not make a big mistake, how can he be demoted?
"Mr. Zhou's appearance is also surprising. He didn't know anything about it beforehand," the steward said.
"Of course I don't know. If he knew, he wouldn't live in our Jiangzhou for so long." Mr. Cheng nodded.
Mr. Cheng Er's expression changed and he suddenly smiled.
"Haha, someone must have tricked me from behind." He laughed, his eyebrows were dancing, and he was full of gloating.
Yes, he must have been tricked behind his back, just like he did before.
Nearly a year has passed, and Mr. Cheng Er would wake up from a dream in the middle of the night. In the dream, he would happily receive a lawsuit, but when he opened it, it would always be blank, and then he would wake up sweating profusely.
Mr. Cheng Er reached out and touched his heart. He thought about it all the time, and his heart was still aching and depressed. What's more, he didn't even know who had tricked him!
Who was behind him? Who was it? Who was it?
