Chapter 117: The Dowry Incident
On the day Xu Wenhui got married, Liu invited the whole village to her house for dinner!
Liu's sister-in-law, Liu's mother's family naturally came. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They should marry their daughters again, but they went out at Liu's house.
Xu Wenhui was so moved in her heart that she secretly swore in her heart that she would treat them as her own mother and sister in the future.
Xu Wenhuiming's dowry on the face, Liu and Liu's maiden family prepared together: the woodware home has an oak stepping bed, a variety of cases, a nanmu top cabinet, a standing cabinet, a kang cabinet, two camphor wood boxes (containing quilts, sheets, and clothes for the four seasons), jewelry boxes, money boxes, dressers, kang tables, copper basin racks, etc
These furniture are produced by furniture shops, the style and carving are very exquisite, simple and simple, elegant and extravagant!
Many people praise these pieces of furniture, saying that their daughters also ordered them like this when they got married!
These furniture are all dowries prepared by Liu's mother's family.
Liu prepared all kinds of porcelain: vases, tableware, tea sets, jars, etc.!
Gold and silver jewelry: a string of pearl bracelets, a set of gold heads, and a set of silver heads.
Ornaments: a kang screen with happy eyebrows, a hanging screen sent by Guanyin.
Four-piece bedding set, clothes for all seasons, shoes and socks, two fine silks, two brocades, and two fine muslins.
There are also all kinds of daily necessities, basins, wooden basins, copper basins, wooden barrels and so on.
In private, Liu also gave twenty taels of silver at the bottom of the box, a pair of jade jade bracelets of high quality, emerald green, round, and transparent. This jade bracelet was bought by Xiao'er and raised in the space!
This kind of goods, bought in the shop, is definitely not less than a hundred taels.
Xu Wenhui's dowry, plus the dowry, is a total of 12 lifts.
Many people don't understand why the Liu family is so good to this sister who recognizes her relatives, although many large things are prepared by Liu's mother's family, but it is not because of Liu's reasons!
Liu also knew that she was Jing Rui's life-saving benefactor after seeing Xu Wenhui's embroidery.
Jing Rui used to play by the river when he was a child, but he fell into the river and was rescued, and when Shen Chengyao ran to find someone, he only saw a woman's figure disappearing into the forest.
At that time, the river was not very deep, and the current was not fast, but it was still fatal enough for a three-year-old child.
At that time, he saw Jing Rui lying motionless by the river, and he was anxious, and there were too many women of the same age in the village, so he didn't recognize who it was!
The woman estimated that her clothes were wet, and she avoided it when she saw Shen Chengyao running.
Later, Jing Rui woke up and said that he accidentally fell into the river and saw a sister come to the river to save him, but he was already unconscious when he was rescued from the shore, and he couldn't tell who that sister was, he was only more than three years old at that time, and he was the person he saw when he fell into the river, and it was normal to not be able to tell who it was.
However, he ripped off the woman's sachet in his hand, and later Liu took the sachet and asked many women in the family, and they all said that it was not hers, and at that time Xu Wenhui got married soon after, and most of the women before marriage would stay at home to embroider the dowry, and she didn't expect it to be her.
Later, after recognizing relatives, because of the doll thing, often contacted, went to her house to see her half-embroidered purse, felt familiar and took the sachet to ask, only to confirm that it was her.
Liu felt that Xu Wenhui's previous marriage and childlessness were all caused by saving Jing Rui that year, falling into the water, and suffering from the cold.
For this reason, I specially took her to Dr. Luo to check the pulse, and I was relieved when I heard that it was okay.
Liu and Shen Chengyao are both people who know how to repay their kindness, knowing this, this dowry is not prepared in the thick, if they are not worried about giving too much, Shen Zhuang's will have a moth, they want to give more!
But there are some things that you don't worry about, and deliberately accommodating them won't happen.
After sending off the relatives, the villagers have finished eating.
Shen Chengyao and Liu were called to the upper room of the old mansion, and before they could say hello, Shen Zhuang asked directly: "How much dowry did you prepare for that mourning star?"
"It's not much, and those dowries take up a lot of the table. ”
"Bah, who are you fooling! Not much! There are a lot of those cabinets alone, and I have never seen the dowry of the girl in the village compare to hers!
"Those cabinets are from my mother's house!
"Fart! Your mother's family prepared it! Doesn't that furniture shop have my son's share? Take my son's things and say it's your mother's! Let me tell you, if you want to pull my Shen family's things to your mother's house, don't even think about it!"
"I didn't. For so many years, I haven't been back to my parents' house a few times, it's just a visit to relatives every year, and I haven't given a New Year's gift once, mother, you know!"
In this era, if a woman is accused of taking her husband's property back to her parents' house, she will be forcibly abandoned by the clan!
"Mother, the child is not such a mother. ”
"What do you mean by this, who stopped you from replying, do you blame me if you don't reply?" Hearing this, Shen Zhuang's family became angry.
"I didn't mean that. "The money is all in her hands, she doesn't give a single thing, every time she lifts it, her nose is not a nose, her eyes are not eyes, and she is trying to call her children to work, how dare she go back!
"I don't mean that, then who do you show your bitter and hateful look? Those who don't know think I'm bullying you! Forget it, I don't care about you about this matter, I called you over today for the sake of Yuzhu's dowry. You say, how much dowry did you prepare for Yuzhu!"
"Is Yuzhu married?" Shen Chengyao felt strange.
"Can't you prepare a dowry without a marriage? Whose daughter doesn't start saving a dowry as soon as she is born! You have even prepared 12 dowries for outsiders, and you have to prepare 18 dowries for your own sisters!"
"Third brother, my dowry cabinet, bed, cage, kang table, stool and other furniture must be made of huanghuali, which is the wood of the furniture in your house!"
"When the time comes, the third brother will make a set of exquisite and elegant furniture for you as a dowry. ”
Shen Chengyao didn't use Huanghuali wood to make it, and there is not much wood left in the shop now, even if there is, the guests have also set it, and this wood is not something that you want to buy. There are very few good rosewoods on the market. I just heard from my uncle that a guest has ordered two sets of furniture, and he will only get the goods at the end of next year, and he will ask for all of them to be made of rosewood, and now he is looking for this wood everywhere!
A full set of huanghuali wood really can't be made, but one or two pieces should be able to do it by then, Shen Chengyao thought. After all, it's his own sister-in-law, and he won't miss her.
"I also want ten sets of red gold head noodles, twenty sets of silver head noodles, and ten pairs of gold bracelets, 100 taels of gold, pearls, precious stones, silk, brocade, cloud silk each no less than ten horses, and 50 acres of fertile land, a shop in the county, just prepare these for the time being, and I will add less in the future." ”
Shen Chengyao's face darkened when he heard this, what did he think he had? In the future, he felt that he was missing! Is this his own sister-in-law, has he regarded himself as his brother? This is to treat himself as the wronged boss!
Liu also looked at this sister-in-law incredulously. Although her family has become rich, it is not impossible to spend all the family wealth. What's more, most of this money is earned by children! She has so many children, she must leave some for them! )
