Chapter 411

The old lady, dressed in a red robe, sat on the high hall, slightly bent down and spoke to the marquis.

She was very old, her face was wrinkled, her head was covered with pearls, and she was dressed very happily, as if she were a bride, not a banquet.

"Just give me some betrothal gifts. I'll take care of it. As for dowry..." She turned to look at Chen Taijun beside her, "old dog, how much money do we have?"

Chen Taijun loves money. It's true. She has made a lot of money over the years. When it comes to betrothal gifts, she plans not to let them go, because there are a lot of dowries.

The old lady said that she almost sold a big bag within ten Liang, and her face was not good-looking. Especially when she heard the old lady call her old dog, her face turned green. However, due to the courtesy, she replied humbly: "our family has a large population and large expenses. There is nothing left over these years, probably..." She put up a finger, which means that the betrothal gift of ten Liang is almost enough for the dowry of one hundred Liang.

The old lady nodded and happily said to Marquis Xiao, "I'll give you ten thousand Liang for dowry."

Chen Taijun took her hand and said, "no, old lady, we can only go out..."

"A hundred thousand?" The old lady's eyes were round. "Do you have so much silver? Well, you old dog, you hide so much? "

Zi an chuckles. Seeing the old prince's eyes, she turns around and buries her head in Murong Jie's chest.

Murong Jie seemed to be used to it, and didn't feel funny at all.

Zi an asked softly, "why do you call Chen Taijun like this?"

"The adoptive father's surname is Gou. The custom of the old lady in the countryside is that once a woman gets married, she has to add an old word before her surname, which is equal to you. If she calls you Lao Xia, she calls you mother, and she calls you Lao yuan." Murong Jie explained.

Zian, er, she knows that. In modern times, it's the same in some places.

"Is Chen Taijun surnamed Gou? Isn't that Chen? " Zian remembers that Chen Taijun was also surnamed Chen, and asked why both husband and wife were surnamed Chen.

"The adoptive father's surname was Gou, and later he took his father's surname back."

"Adoptive father and biological father, sounds like someone with a story." Zian road.

Murong Jie lightly smile, "Chen Taijun's story? I can't say it for three days and three nights. "

In that side room, it's not surprising to say that betrothal gifts and dowry are related. But Marquis Xiao didn't say a word. It's Chen Taijun and the old lady.

Finally, the old lady was annoyed by what she said. She patted the table and said, "old dog, do you dare to contradict me? You don't know that our Liuliu is lucky to be married. How many betrothal gifts do you want? We can't afford to post it upside down. "

Seeing that the old lady was angry, Lao Tai Jun did not dare to say, because the old lady began to breathe. She was not in good health. Once she was enraged, she would faint. Although she was not angry, she had to bear it.

But Xiao Tuo poked the back of marquis Xiao and said in a low voice, "grandfather, give me more. There are many dowries in their family. They have 18 kinds of weapons."

Marquis Xiao glared at him angrily? Get out of the way. "

Xiao Tuo wrongly stood behind him and muttered: "now my elder brother is going to marry the princess. How can you be so stingy with a lot of silver? Give me more. What's the matter? It won't hurt you to give more. "

Zi'an pulls Murong Jie and wants to retreat. She has never seen such a person talking about marriage. It's so funny.

Just about to come out, she heard the old lady angrily ask old Tai Jun, "you give a truth, how many betrothal gifts?"? What can people do if they don't want more? Would you like ten liang? I'm willing to put it into practice. "

Marquis Xiao also asked laotaijun, "Chen Taijun, ten Liang is really few, you want how many betrothal gifts, you say it is."

Chen Taijun opened his mouth and sighed, "there are many ways, few ways."

"How much is that? Our family can't afford more. My grandfather, Iron Rooster, won't marry at most. " Xiao Tuo asked impatiently.

Chen Taijun was silent for a moment, "OK, twelve." Xiao Tuo's not to marry scared her. In fact, she was willing to marry Liu Liu as long as Xiao Tuo was willing to.

When Liu Liu heard that she was worth ten taels of silver, she was almost furious.

However, naturally, Lord Xiao is not that kind of person. Even if he is said to be an Iron Rooster by Xiao Tuo, he can't give ten Liang more.

The final betrothal money was fixed at 10000 Liang, and the dowry was optional.

The old lady kept saying to the old lady, "what a nice family. Where can I find it? If you want to be in another family, you'll die and you'll have to pay ten thousand Liang instead of your granddaughter. "

Many people came to the banquet. There were no less than a few hundred businessmen and politicians. It can be seen that Lao Taijun had a wide range of contacts.

Zhuang Zhuang came before the banquet, which caused a sensation. Many people gathered around to greet her. Zhuang Zhuang just stood in the middle of the crowd with a smile. Qin Zhi and Qionghua protected her.

Marquis Xiao looked at him from a distance. His eyes were complicated. When he saw Marquis Xiao, his face was stiff.

Chen's banquet is not a table for each person, but a round table for ten people. Zi an knew that modern wedding banquet was a round table, but it was not popular at that time.Zian and Murong Jie Zhuangzhuang, Hu Huanxi, Liang's rouyao, Li Qin, Wang An and others sat at a table next to the old lady.

Zi an has never seen such a dog No, Chen Taijun, she wants to drink. The old lady stares at her and says, "you child, how dare you drink?"

The old lady glared at the old lady as she spoke to others. How polite are you, child

One child at a time, Lao Taijun could not refute. She lost face in front of her colleagues, relatives and friends tonight.

The old lady didn't let Lao Taijun drink. She drank two glasses herself and toasted at the table.

When he came to zi'an's table, Murong Jie lowered his head and tried not to look at the old lady.

But the old lady saw him at a glance and said, "is er Huo Zi coming? Why don't you say hello to my old lady when you come? "

"Er Huo Zi?" Zi an looks at Murong Jie in surprise.

Murong Jie coughed, pretending not to hear the old lady's words, as if the old lady did not call him.

When the old lady saw that he didn't agree, she went to him and held his ear. "You little boy, will the old lady not agree to ask you?"

Seeing this, General Chen Long quickly took her hand. "Granny, you can't do this. This is what the prince, the Regent, told you."

"The Regent? Isn't the Regent the second The old lady was puzzled. Looking at Murong Jie, she said, "when you become regent, you don't recognize the old lady? When I was a child, I didn't always mix candy with my old body? "

Murong Jie's face is ugly. He has long known that he shouldn't be greedy of Chen's wine. However, he has only given her a nickname and hasn't said anything else. He has to send her away quickly.

Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "I'd like to propose a toast to the old lady, and wish her a happy life."

"Good, good!" The old lady is smiling. Her toothless mouth is like a black hole. When she smiles, her face shrivels. She is very happy.
