Chapter 68: Lian Man'er Design
During lunch, Lian Man'er brought a bowl of chicken stewed with beans and a large piece of Hu cake to Mr. Lian. Mr. Lian tasted it and said it was delicious. Then, Lian Man'er returned to the west wing and the whole family sat around the table to eat.
At the dinner table, we must talk about what happened just now.
"Hua'er looked pretty good when she was a child. She lived in the town for many years, but why did she become so bad?" Lian Shouxin frowned, "Those words were heard by Ya'er? Is it reliable? If this is true, you should think of a way. Hua'er will marry into someone else's family like this, wouldn't that harm others?"
Lian Man'er didn't say anything. Well, she had to admit that Lian Shuxin is really a good person. And she wanted Lian Man'er to marry early so as not to continue to waste time at home.
"What can I think of?" Zhang said, "I think his uncle and uncle are quite convinced by Huaer. They are in the same mind."
Zhang's implication is that Huaer's command is behind the scenes, and even Shouren and Gu are inseparable from each other.
Even Shuxin stopped talking.
"Matchmaker Wang from the town just now came and said hello to Brother Erlang." Lian Man'er raised another topic.
"This is a good thing. Erlang has to be too high or low in recent years, so he can't delay it anymore." Lian Shouxin was obviously more interested in this topic, "Which company is talking about?"
"Wang Xiu'e from Fidelity Grocery Store in the town." Lian Man'er said, "I think the second uncle and second uncle are willing."
"Then what did your grandfather and your grandma say? Have you decided?" Zhang asked.
"My grandma and grandma said they wanted to check the plan again, but it was not decided." Lian Man'er said, paused, and said again, "She wants a lot of betrothal gifts."
"Oh." Lian Shouxin and Zhang looked at each other and stopped talking.
"Dad, eat more. Yangchang is exhausted these days." Lian Man'er picked up a large piece of chicken for Lian Shouxin and another for Zhang. "Mom. Eat more too. Don't hurry to go to the fields to work, keep your body well first. There is no work in the fields now, just do this at home. We can do it."
Lian Shouxin and Zhang were so worried that they forgot their worries by Lian Man'er's few words, and they all smiled.
After lunch, I took another half an hour to take a nap, Lian Man'er got up from the kang. At this time, the yard of Lian's family was quiet. Lian Shouxin, Lian Shouli and Lian Shouyi took Erlang and Sanlang to help the Wu family work. Lian Man'er got off the kang and went to the upper room to take a look. In the east room, the old man was sleeping soundly on the kang. After all, he was a little older and was exhausted these days. Zhou and Lian Xiu'er were lying on the end of the kang and were sleeping.
Lian Man'er walked to the door of the west room and looked inside. Lian Shouren and Lian Ji'er grandfather and son, after lunch, they went to the town and said they were attending a poetry meeting. In the west room, Gu, Lian Huaer, Lian Duoer, and Jiang's mother and daughter were also sleeping.
Lian Man'er saw clearly about the situation of going to the room, then came back and thought about it. Then he took out the bracelet given by Lian Huaer from the cabinet and put it on his hands, and then he put it on his head. Then he took a small basket and filled some boiled garlic peanuts.
"Second sister, what are you going to do?" Xiaoqi asked when he saw it.
"Go and talk to the second uncle." Lian Man'er said.
"Second sister, I'll go with you." Xiaoqi ran over.
Lian Man'er nodded and took Xiaoqi to the east wing. Xiaoqi sat on the threshold to look at the wind for her. She walked straight into the east wing with a basket.
There are three rooms in the east wing, and only one room is Lian Shouyi, so the layout is slightly different from that in the west wing. As soon as you enter the door, there is still an outer room, with one side of the house wall, and only the other side is a stove. Lian Man'er walked around the stove, opened the door curtain in the inner room, and walked in.
Lian Shouyi took Erlang and Sanlang to help, and Silang and Liulang followed. Even if they couldn't do much work, they could still have a good meal. There were only He and Lian Yaer in the house. Lian Yaer fell asleep on the kang. He did not sleep for the first time, but sat on the kang and frowned and knocked melon seeds.
"Second uncle." Lian Man'er smiled and shouted as she entered the door.
"Oh, it's Man'er." He was shocked. Seeing the basket in Lian Man'er's hand, he immediately grinned, "What, I'm sending food to my second uncle. You guys have lost a lot of peanuts."
He still brought something bad to him when he spoke. Lian Man'er came to her to talk about the serious matters, so she smiled and didn't take it seriously.
"Take it to the second uncle." Lian Man'er handed over the basket and sat down next to He.
He put down the melon seeds in his hand, grabbed the peanuts in the basket and ate them.
"I'll congratulate the second uncle." Lian Man'er looked at He and said.
"What's the good news for me?"
"Is the second uncle still hiding it from me? I heard it when I was in the room. My second brother wanted to marry a wife or a girl in the town. The dowry is worth less than one or two hundred taels of silver." Lian Man'er smiled and said, "The second uncle is a lucky one. I heard that the girl is beautiful and capable, and she still has money at home."
Even Man'er's words are all said to He's heart.
"Man'er, you heard it all, your grandparents are a little reluctant to do that."
"It's hard to find such a good marriage, even with a lantern." Lian Man'er said, "Why would my grandparents not agree?"
He clasped his lips.
"Why don't you? I think I'm asking for too many betrothal gifts."
"But they have a lot of dowry."
"No, people even said that even the betrothal gifts are for face, and they will be sent back with the dowry in the future." He said,
"Your grandparents and grandma can't bring out the betrothal gifts. I can't eat well for this."
"It would be a pity to delay such a good thing because of the betrothal gift. Didn't it delay my second brother?" Lian Man'er said with wide eyes.
"Who said no?" He said.
"Second uncle, you're a mother, you should think of a way for your second brother." Lian Man'er took the opportunity to say.
"What can I do? The money is in the hands of your grandparents."
"Second uncle, we have split up, you have no difference. If the uncle's family has money, aren't you the only ones who have money?" Lian Man'er reminded.
"Just the little money I borrowed, you didn't see that they bought so much, so they had already spent it." He said angrily.
She discussed with Lian Shouyi that this marriage really didn't have this store after passing this village. But now she couldn't afford the money, so she wondered if it could be postponed for a few days. When Lian Huaer married into the Song family, she would immediately move out a sum of money and then settle Erlang's marriage.
"What a good marriage. Why don't there be many people rushing to settle?" Lian Man'er reminded.
He pursed his lips, and she was also afraid of this.
"All the money was spent by the big house, what are we going to do!"
"Second uncle. Why do I think the 500 taels of silver in my uncle are wrong? My uncle said that Yang Chengfeng borrowed him 500 taels, and all the 500 taels of silver were bought. But the Sun family only allowed three hundred taels to buy the man. How could Yang Chengfeng take out two hundred taels more?" Lian Man'er said. "Uncle actually bought the 300 taels of jade pendant."
"Man'er, you mean..." He heard some meaning and opened his eyes wide.
"What else do you want me to say to me as a shrewd uncle? What is the person I am? Is the second uncle and the second uncle still unknown?" Lian Man'er smiled.
He just slapped his thigh.
"He reported the bill again." He shouted.
"Shh, whisper, don't let the room hear it." Lian Man'er smiled, and then again. It seemed that He knew more than one thing.
"Second uncle, look at my silk flowers and this bracelet." Lian Man'er shook the bracelet on her hand and asked He to see the silk flowers on her head. "This is all given by Sister Huaer. This was not bought by Sister Huaer. She gave it to her in the county town and the Song family. What kind of family is the Song family? It is the most decent family. Sister Huaer is good to the Song family. I don't know how to repair Sister Huaer behind her back. Otherwise, why is Sister Huaer so unhappy for her to spend money?"
Lian Man'er kept smiling. Half of what she said was speculation and half of it was made. Didn't Lian Huaer arrange how Zhang bought things for them? Didn't she give her silk flowers and bracelets? She went to Lian Xiu'er to use this to provoke her? Then she was quite a lot and returned them to her. This is called treating her with the same way.
"Why did she give you these things?" He was a little jealous.
Lian Man'er closed her sleeves and hid the bracelet.
"... She was sorry for my mother and I won't say anything about the previous incident. My aunt pushed my mother because she was doing something bad behind her back. She was afraid that we would tell me about it. By the way, what Yaer heard about this incident, and told me." Lian Man'er looked at Lian Yaer who had just gotten up and was rubbing her eyes.
"Did you talk to Man'er?" He turned his head and asked Lian Ya'er.
"The fourth brother asked me to say it." Lian Yaer nodded in a daze.
Sure enough, He had known about this for a long time. No wonder Silang was going to go to the upper room to tell Mr. Lian, but after hearing He and Lian Shouyi talk in the upper room, he ran away. It must have been He who instructed him not to let them tell them about this.
He turned his head and grinned at Lian Man'er.
"These children have never told me about this," said He.
This is too fake, okay? Lian Man'er laughed in her heart, but she didn't reveal it.
"Man'er, don't you settle the score with Hua'er?" He asked again.
"My parents said forget it, I'm afraid that something will happen, Sister Huaer will not be able to marry again. Besides, Sister Huaer gave my mother these benefits." Lian Man'er said, "Originally, Sister Huaer only agreed to say that after she gets married, she will be like what she is. It sounds nice, but I don't believe her. She can still remember the bridge after crossing the river. To say those nice things, it's not as good as the reality that can be held in her hands now, and then talk about the future, right, second uncle?"
Lian Man'er looked at He and smiled, "My second uncle knows this truth more than me."
He nodded, thinking.
"If you want to tell my uncle's house, Sister Huaer is the leader." Lian Man'er said again, then picked up the basket and left.
"Man'er, how did you make these peanuts? They are more delicious than those sold in the grocery store in the town. Are there any more? Give me some more so that your second uncle can try them." He said immediately.
"Second uncle, is this peanut important or is it important for my second brother's marriage?"
Lian Man'er came out of the east wing and took Xiaoqi back to the west wing. After a while, Lian Ya'er walked out of the east wing and went to the upper wing. After a while, Lian Hua'er followed Lian Ya'er and headed to the east wing.
Things had already become five points, Lian Man'er shook Xiaoqi's hand.
"Xiao Qi, it's up to you later."
***************
I was cold and hot, and I caught a cold and tears.
I continued to ask for pink, and I have been updating for more than half a month. The pink has not exceeded 100 and is about to be surpassed. The poor third place can't be saved, and I'm crying.
Everyone, please be more excited. Pink can reach 100 or not today. There will be an additional update when it reaches 100, and then there will be an additional update when it reaches 110. If there are 110 votes today, there will be two additional updates, which means there will be a third update today.
Chapter completed!
