Chapter 22: dowry

Master Xie Er frowned.
"I heard that Gu Jiu is sick."
Xie nodded.
Master Xie Er was dissatisfied, "Let Xie Xian marry a sick child, isn't it harmful. Sister, Xie Xian is your nephew, you can't favor one another."
Xie rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother is confused. Gu Jiu is a sick rice seedling, which is not right.
After a few years, when Gu Jiu died, Xie Xian would marry another one. Can get a dowry for nothing. "
Master Xie frowned.
Xie continued: "Don't hide your second brother, Gu Jiu, this dead girl, is getting more and more uncomfortable.
There was a disturbance some time ago, which made me have to abandon Mrs. Li. Today, this girl is adding to my blockage.
This girl stays in Fuzhong for a day, and I feel uneasy. If the second brother doesn't help me, Luhou's side, the second brother asks Gaoming. "
Master Xie Er stared at Xie's, and said with a serious expression: "Is my younger sister not even listening to what the older brother says?"
Xie looked at Master Xie Er with a faint smile, "Second brother refuses to help me with a trivial matter. Who is it that refuses to listen to the eldest brother's instructions."
Annoyed big brother, second brother, can you have a good result? "
"you?"
Master Xie Er did not expect that his sister would threaten him in turn, which is really unreasonable.
Xie continued: "I am the wife of the second room of the Gu family, a relative of Pingnan Hou's family.
As long as the husband's officialdom is prosperous and the Pingnan Hou Mansion can stand tall, the eldest brother will always give me a face.
As for the second brother, you can't complete the task that the eldest brother confided. What do you think the eldest brother will do with you?
Will your elder brother still let you continue in charge of the family business? Will you continue to fill your pockets? "
Master Xie Er's expression was distorted, and the muscles on his face trembled.
Finally sighed, "I'm afraid of you. Since you were young, you have been competitive and refused to lose a little bit. Now that you are older, you are getting tougher on me. I am your second brother."
Xie raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If you didn't kiss my second brother, I would let you come and let Xie Xian marry Gu Jiu?
Do you think that I let Xie Xian marry Gu Jiu and wronged your precious son.
Let me tell you, based on Gu's family background and husband's official position, Xie Xian marrying Gu Jiu is a high climb. Moreover, I have to do a dowry for Gu Jiu.
Brother, think about it for yourself, except that Gu Jiu is a sick child, does this marriage really wronged your precious son? "
Master Xie frowned, "Brother-in-law can agree?"
Xie's smiled and said, "If you change to another family, your husband may not agree to it. But if it's the Xie's, I'm sure to convince your husband to agree to this marriage."
Master Xie Er pondered it over and it was a good deal to be in-laws with Gu's family.
Gu Jiu, the sick seed, will not live for a few years. When the person dies, let the son marry another person.
Master Xie Er pressed his heart with pride, and asked hesitantly: "How much dowry does my sister plan to give Gu Jiu?"
The Xie family was very upset, and said straightforwardly: "When the Su family was married to her husband, the Su family would be rich and wealthy and they gave the Su family a lot of dowry.
Those dowries are still there today. When Gu Jiu gets married, I split up half of Su's dowry. "
Master Xie Er smiled, "My sister is too greedy.
Just like my sister said, when Su married to Gu's family, the dowry was a hundred and eight, or less than four to fifty thousand.
After so many years, the dowry shop, Zhuangzi, has collected a lot of silver.
When Gu Jiu gets married, the younger sister only gives half of the dowry, which is definitely not good.
I am wronged by my family, Xie Xian married a sick child, and half of the dowry will be deducted. My sister is too stingy.
Just telling the horses to run, but not the horses to eat grass, is not enough. "
Xie's eyes were spitting fire, and his face was stern, "Second brother thinks I can be the master of Gu Jiu's affairs. You are too underestimate my husband.
The dowry left by the Su family, the husband had already made arrangements, and Gu Jiu and Gu Yu were half and half of them. This was already agreed. Do you think I can move anywhere? "
Master Xie Er didn't believe these words at all.
Su's family had been dead for so many years, he did not believe that his sister had not used any means to turn his dowry into private property.
For example, buying high and selling low, deliberately running on, artificially bankrupt the shop and Zhuangzi. Then let his confidant come forward to buy the bankrupt Zhuangzi shop.
In a blink of an eye, Su's dowry became Xie's private property.
Master Xie Er is in charge of the Xie family's industry and has been in shopping malls for more than ten years. He has seen too many similar methods, which is not unusual.
If Xie's needs, he can immediately give Xie's more than a dozen or 20 ideas, turn Su's dowry into private property, and guarantee that there will be no trouble.
Master Xie Er smiled, "Sister, don't tell me everything you have, just tell me, Gu Jiu marries my Xie Xian, how many dowry you can offer."
Xie gritted her teeth. This time, it was her turn to feel pain and suffocation.
She said fiercely: "I want to write to my eldest brother to let him know what good things you have done."
Master Xie Er was not afraid, "Just so, I also want to nag with my eldest brother. A few years ago, I asked you to take the lead in mining in the northwest. How much silver did you get from it?
By the way, there was that incident five years ago. Do you really think that your eldest brother forgot?
If it were not for your disadvantages, how could your Royal Highness be implicated? Fortunately, your elder brother covered it for you, so you didn't expose it.
If you don't share the worries for your eldest brother, you still care about money here, what is your heart?
Sister, don't forget, if the Xie family is over, you won't have a good life.
With the qualities of Master Gu, nine out of ten, you will be sent to the nunnery, the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for a lifetime. "
Xie's face paled, "Second brother, don't scare me."
Master Xie Er coldly snorted, "Now is the most critical time for His Royal Highness. The younger sister hastened to abandon her selfishness and cooperate sincerely with me, sharing the worries for the elder brother and the prince.
His Royal Highness the crown prince will become the throne, and his sister will be able to exhale. "
Xie took a deep breath and settled, "Okay, I will listen to the second brother, abandon selfishness and cooperate sincerely.
You saw the difficulties in the Fuchu with your own eyes. The dowry for Gu Jiu is only ten thousand taels at most. No more money.
Second brother, don't force me either. I am anxious. I will find someone else to send Gu Jiu. "
Master Xie Er looked disgusted, only one thousand taels of dowry, to send a beggar?
"My sister is too stingy."
Xie's smiled, "Second brother don't think too little. I have two daughters who are waiting to buy dowry, please be considerate of my difficulties."
Master Xie Er said with a dissatisfaction: "Then marry two more Zhuangzi shops."
Xie nodded, "Yes. So the second brother agreed."
"It's all about this, of course I have to promise you."
Xie laughed, "Thank you brother for sharing my worries. Please stay in the mansion for a few more days, and we can work together to finalize the marriage as soon as possible."
Master Xie Er said: "Don't worry, I will discuss with Xian'er when I go back. With my brother-in-law, you have to hurry up."
"Second brother, don't worry about my side. With my husband, I can persuade him to agree to this marriage."
