CHAPTER XXXVII
By the time Ye Yun and his family of three came to the main house, they had already started to serve food. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The old Wang Tou and his wife sat on the main seat, and the others did not sit down, ready to pay New Year's greetings. After the Zhang and Bai families finished serving, they also returned to their men's side to greet the New Year together. Seeing that everyone had arrived, the old king began to speak.
"It's the New Year, we have a reunion dinner today, and there are two happy events in our family this year. The first one is that San Lang got married, so that your mother and I can rest assured, don't worry that you have no one to take care of, your daughter-in-law is a filial person, and you have to treat others well. After speaking, he looked at Wang Sanlang, and saw Wang Sanlang nodding, so he continued, "The second one, you all know it, our Wang family is going to add Ding again." The third daughter-in-law, you are now the hero of our Wang family, take good care of yourself and the child in your belly. ”
"Yes, the third daughter-in-law, pay more attention in the future, that is our Wang family's species, be careful in the future, don't happen like this today." By the way, my wife still has two things to say, one is that in the future, Saburo and his daughter-in-law should not start their own fire, and move everything to the main house, everyone is a family, and everyone will eat together in the future. These two, that is, the bolt and the pillar will be eighteen and seventeen after the New Year, and the one at this age should have said goodbye, and the conditions of our family were not good before, and I asked the matchmaker some time ago, and I saw that the two are not bad, and you also help the staff officers, all of whom are from Liujia Village next door. One is a girl from Liu Wen's family, who said to the bolt, sixteen this year, looks quiet and sweet, and is a good hand at home and abroad. And the four sons of Liu Wen's family are just such a girl, so they are very favored, and their family background is even better, and the family has 20 acres of paddy fields and 12 acres of fertile land. There is also a family of Liu Fajia, said to the pillar, looking at the second girl of his family, needless to say, the appearance is superior, the family conditions are not bad, and Liu Wen's family is the same rich peasant in Liujia Village, three sons and two girls in the family. After Li finished speaking, he looked at everyone, as if he was really waiting for everyone's opinions.
Ye Yun rolled her eyes in her heart, what kind of inquiry is this, you will inform me that you didn't ask you when you are done, and you seem to be more democratic. However, Ye Yun also has a lot of doubts, according to the Li family, the conditions of these two families can be found to be better, but they chose the Wang family, which feels very strange. What does the Wang family say, although the family is not bad, I heard San Lang say that there seem to be twelve or thirteen acres of paddy fields, seven or eight acres of fertile fields, and a few acres of sloping land. But this kind of family background is obviously not as good as the woman, in ancient times, they paid attention to marrying high and low, according to Li's words, the two girls are outstanding, and they are also favored at home, how can they let their daughter marry into the Wang family? I really don't understand, anyway, Ye Yun feels that this matter is not so simple.
"Mother, according to what you say, how can these two families have such good conditions to let the girl marry into our family?" Without waiting for Ye Yun to speak, Wang Erlang asked on Ye Yun's behalf.
"Oh, it's not that these two families are interested in our pillars and bolts, my grandson is good-looking and capable and down-to-earth, so of course they are willing to marry. It's just that the dowry is a little more. Li Shi was not ashamed of what he said, but he didn't know how many times Ye Yun rolled his eyes in his heart. As for Zhang's two sons, if they don't sound good, they look good, but something else? I'm sorry, she really didn't see it. I have to admit that the genes of the Wang family are good, whether it is a son or a grandson, they all look good-eyed, so Wang Sanlang looks too masculine. glanced at the two sons standing next to Wang Dalang, they really looked good, but their temperament followed Wang Dalang, they were too lazy, but these two children were sweeter than Wang Dalang's mouth, and the coaxing Li family liked it very much, coupled with Zhang's doting, Ye Yun pouted, she really didn't see where she was down-to-earth and willing to do it.
"Mother, I don't know how much more is this dowry?" Bai Shi heard the key to this sentence and hurriedly asked.
"It's a dowry of fifteen taels of silver. After Li finished speaking, he looked away a little weakly.
"What? Fifteen taels? Those two are thirty taels. Mother, this dowry is too much, enough to marry five or six daughters-in-law. How can our family have so much silver?" Bai looked at the Li family with some disbelief, she knew that the family should have a deposit of forty or fifty taels, but it was saved by several families for many years, and it was not blown by the wind, they were all taken out to marry the two sons of the big house to marry their daughters-in-law, what should be done with the dowry of flowers and grass in the future?
"Oh, the dowry is a little more, but there are also a lot of dowries for other girls. Li said with some confidence.
"Mother, that's the dowry of other girls, what does it have to do with our family, even if they are generous, take out the dowry to subsidize the family, it depends on other people's faces, mother, why are you so confused!" Wang Erlang couldn't help but shout at the Li family in a low voice.
"What are you yelling at me? That's it, don't talk about it. Li was startled when he saw Wang Erlang yelling at him, and he reacted and immediately yelled back, and he didn't even have a weak heart.
"Yes, second brother, this family is in charge of the father's mother, you still have opinions!" Of course, the Zhang family was happy, wouldn't he be blessed to marry two such rich daughters-in-law for himself? You must know that although this dynasty does not allow the encroachment of a woman's dowry, almost every woman will take it out to a greater or lesser extent to subsidize the family after marrying.
"Sister-in-law, don't stand and talk without backache, of course you have no opinion on marrying your son. But mother, have you ever thought that after marrying a daughter-in-law to the bolt and the pillar, our family will almost be hollowed out, and in two years, the flowers and grass will be in harmony, and it is time to say kiss, where will our family get the money to marry at that time?" Bai said with some sadness, looking at his daughter who was standing beside him and bowed his head and did not speak, Bai felt that he was really tired and tired in this family.
"The two of them lost money, and besides, it was two or three years later when they got together, and at that time, how could they save up the dowry money for the two of them, don't talk about it, this matter is settled, let's eat." After Li finished speaking, he didn't look at Bai. Bai Shi wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and said nothing.
Ye Yun and Wang Sanlang never said a word from beginning to end, and even Doudou felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he nestled in Wang Sanlang's arms silently and did not speak. Ye Yun didn't care at all that they were fighting for that bit of family property, thinking that there were more than 1,000 taels of silver in the space that hadn't been touched yet, Ye Yun's confidence was unprecedented.
Everyone saw that there was no room for change, so they stepped forward one by one to pay New Year's greetings to Lao Wangtou and the Li family, and they also sent a red envelope to a few small ones. This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was unpleasant because of the previous words, it can be imagined.
