Chapter 105 Madam is Really Kind
Chapter 105 Madam is Really Kind
At this time, in He Ruyi's room.
He Minzhi came out from Liu's place, brought Huang Mama with him, called a few maids, and went to see He Ruyi with the marriage certificate in his pocket.
He Ruyi, who was acting like a madman in the front hall, came to his senses now and trembled subconsciously when he saw He Min.
"Big, why is big brother here? I, I thought big brother didn't want to see me again." He Ruyi didn't dare to look up because of guilt.
"Of course I wouldn't come here for no reason." He Minzhi threw the marriage certificate on her head with a cold face.
He Ruyi was hit by a neatly folded piece of paper. It was so light and weightless that she wanted to take it down and throw it away. But when she saw the words on it clearly, she was immediately ecstatic.
"Brother, this is the marriage certificate!"
Marriage certificate!
That means her marriage to Cui Lang is a done deal!
He Ruyi was so happy when she got the marriage certificate that she almost went crazy.
He Minzhi said with a sullen face, "Yes, this is the marriage certificate between you and Cui Hua. You must keep it well. If you lose this marriage certificate, you don't have to stay in the He family anymore."
"Of course, of course!" He Ruyi held the marriage certificate in her arms like a treasure.
She had been looking forward to it for so long, and finally got the marriage certificate.
She was going to the Cui family to enjoy herself.
"Brother, how much dowry are my family planning to give me? I'm going to marry into the Cui family, and I don't want people to laugh at the He family for being so shabby and not being able to show them anything."
She wants a dowry despite her despicable behavior. It’s already polite of us not to kick her out!
But she had to marry someone from the Cui family, and they couldn't kick her out.
He Minzhi couldn't get angry yet, so he said in a deep voice, "Ask mother about the dowry."
He Ruyi was still muttering recklessly, "It's the same if I tell my mother. I'm going to marry into the Cui family. You can't just go out with such a small dowry and let people laugh at you."
"I'll give you a generous dowry, so you'll look good. And if I can help you get into the Cui family, then you don't have to worry about your big brother's future anymore."
He Minzhi had to admit that what she said was right, but when he thought about having to give her real money as a dowry, he felt very angry.
"I will discuss this matter with my mother and then make a decision. You don't have to worry about it. Just take good care of it."
He Minzhi originally planned to beat her up to vent his anger, but when he thought about the good thing of marrying into the Cui family, he became more tolerant of her.
……
Ji Minrou also coaxed Liu into submission with just a few words.
"Aunt, don't take anything my cousin says to heart. She will get married sooner or later, and her marriage will be of great benefit to my cousin's future. Just think of it as paving the way for my cousin's official career."
When Liu heard this, she thought, yes, wasn't she doing all this just to pave the way for Dalang?
I immediately felt relieved.
Ji Minrou also talked about a lot of benefits of He Ruyi marrying out. One is He Minzhi's career, and the other is that the He family also uses the name of Cui Mansion to do business.
Thinking about He Minzhi's successful career in the future and the He family's increasing wealth and fortune, Liu couldn't be upset at all and was so happy that she couldn't wait.
The aunt and niece talked for a long time, and Ji Minrou also had lunch at Liu's place.
However, the He family is now managed by Zhang, who only eats vegetables and tofu every day and is very frugal.
Before, they could eat meat once every five days. But since the monthly allowance could not be paid last time, Zhang asked Liu for 100 taels. Now, they can only eat meat once every ten days.
Everyone in the mansion looked pale and miserable after eating.
He Minzhi was happy today because there was a happy event at home, so he waved his hand and said that there would be more dishes for everyone in the house in the evening.
Zhang came to him with a bitter face and said that there was no money in the account. He Minzhi thought that he had a successful career and was no longer bothered. He immediately offered to take out all his monthly allowance to buy more food for everyone.
This was great, as she could eat meat without spending any money. Zhang happily went to do it.
After arranging additional dishes for the whole mansion in the evening, Zhang came to Furongju and brought her a portion of freshly braised pork knuckle.
Xue Chenyu was surprised at first, "Second Madam is not well off right now, but my Furong Residence has no shortage of food. Second Madam should take it back and share it with everyone."
"Madam, this is the dish that Dalang has added to the whole mansion. It would be a waste not to eat it." Zhang's face was wrinkled with laughter. She was happier than when she herself married her daughter and daughter-in-law.
Xue Chenyu suddenly realized what was going on, and then asked Yuzhu to take the vegetables to the small kitchen to cut them and have them as extra dishes in the evening.
"Didn't the Second Old Madam come all this way just for this dish?"
"Of course not." Zhang was also a straightforward person. "What Madam mentioned last time has come to fruition."
"That's a good thing."
Xue Chenyu knew that she was a straightforward person, so she didn't hide anything.
Last time Qiuhua brought the picture album back from Xue's house, she had asked Zhang to take a look at it a few days ago. Zhang was very satisfied with it.
Although the appearance of the people in the album may have been embellished by the painter, those people are all real military officers, and the oldest one is only in his twenties.
Having an official position means a high salary, and people in their twenties are young and strong.
Liu and He Minzhi felt that such a man was not worthy of their family background, but she felt that it would be best for her daughter to have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
So Zhang asked her two daughters-in-law to go back to her parents' home to make some arrangements these days. The girls in her family are all honest and decent, but their family is too poor and they have too many brothers and sisters. They have to help support the family, so it is difficult for them to get married.
With such an opportunity, there are many people willing to get married.
As for her own family, she didn't want to have much contact with them after Zhang Youcai tried to seduce her daughter. But seeing that her two nieces were well-behaved and sensible, she included them in the family.
Including He Jixiang and He Shuang, there are seven or eight girls of marriageable age.
Zhang couldn't wait to tell this story, and repeatedly assured Xue Chenyu that they were all good girls and would never do anything promiscuous like He Ruyi.
"The second old lady is really capable." Xue Chenyu was also happy.
After all, she had promised to help her father solve this problem, so it would be bad to run away halfway through.
"I'm already making arrangements. Once the Fourth Miss confirms everything in a few days, we can arrange a formal meeting for everyone."
Zhang hesitated for a moment, "The fourth young lady that Madam mentioned is definitely referring to..."
"The Second Old Lady should also know that the Fourth Miss Jixiang is the eldest wife's concubine, and her life and death are entirely in the hands of the Old Lady. But whether it is the Old Lady or He Minzhi, no one treats her as a human being."
"That girl lost her mother when she was young, and now the old lady wants to take over her only shop. Can you bear to watch her being casually sent to work as a horse breeder and carriage driver by the old lady?"
"Madam is so kind-hearted."
