Chapter 003 Purchase of Dowry
"Uncomfortable?" Qian was anxious. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "What's uncomfortable? Tell your mother!"
Zhuo Nan saw that Qian was so anxious for her, and she was extremely moved. "Mother, I just want to go back to the house and lie down for a while, it's not a big deal. ”
Qian frowned. "If you don't feel well, go back to the house and lie down, the market won't go today, and it's not too late to go tomorrow. And don't cook on the fire or anything in the future, I've spoiled you since I was a child, and I can't get in anyone's eyes!"
Qian thought that someone was gossiping about her in front of her daughter. "The merchant is a rich man, and there is no shortage of maids and servants at home, so why do you need to cook by yourself? Although Shang Hua's family has a large population, there are three brothers and two sisters at the top, and a younger sister at the bottom, but it is Shang Hua who is in charge of the family. After you get married, as long as you hold his heart, no one in the entire business will dare to bully you, let you go sideways, remember?"
She's not a crab. "Hmm. Zhuo Nan smiled and nodded. A little curious, he asked, "Mother, why is it Shanghua's master?"
Hearing this, Qian Shi hooked the corners of his mouth complacently. "For my mother to show you a husband, I naturally choose the best one. Shang Hua's eldest brother and second brother are bent on gaining fame, and only the second brother has taken the exam. The third brother is in business like Shang Hua, tsk tsk, but it's a pity that it's not this piece of material!
Raised an eyebrow at his daughter. "Old man Shang only cares about the aunts and concubines who surround him all day long, and the entire merchant is supported by Shang Hua alone. Whoever has the money is in charge, you see?"
Zhuo Nan, "......"
"Okay, isn't it uncomfortable? Go back to the house and lie down, lazy girl. ”
The next day, Zhuo Nan slept until Qian and her sister-in-law made breakfast before waking her up.
Zhuo Nan got up lazily and dressed, and listened to Qian laugh and scold her for being a lazy girl before leaving, and her heart was bubbling with happiness.
After breakfast, Qian specially changed into clean clothes without patches, and walked to the market with Zhuo Nan.
This village is only five or six miles away from the bustling capital, less than two quarters of an hour's foot.
Entering the city gate and walking through the streets and alleys, Zhuo Nan looked at the familiar hawkers on both sides of the street, and his eyes were full of hope.
Qian pulled her, walked through all kinds of people, and went straight to the shop selling rouge gouache.
Zhuo Nan stood aside in a regular manner, watching the sturdy Qian family take charge of the two men alone, fighting with each other, and bought what she wanted to buy at a very low price.
After leaving the fat powder shop, he turned around and was pulled into a jewelry store by the Qian family.
When the shopkeeper saw a peasant woman from the countryside who came in, his attitude was not very enthusiastic. But suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuo Nan, who came in closely behind Qian, a girl who was charming and charming, and was in the prime of her life, even coarse cotton clothes could not hide her beauty, and immediately got up enthusiastically to greet her.
A tray of jewelry was brought out of the counter and all placed on the counter for them to choose.
Qian swept all the jewelry on the counter and raised his head in displeasure. "Man, is there any better jewelry?"
The shopkeeper's eyes circled Zhuo Nan's peach-like face, and then he looked at Qian with a smile. "Yes, you wait. And from the counter he brought out a plate of jewels, all of which were filled with gold.
Qian picked a plum blossom hairpin, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Is this pure gold?"
The shopkeeper paused for a moment, looked at Qian's dress, and said contemptuously, "No, this is gold-packed, but it's not cheap." The one you hold in your hand is finely worked, and the plum blossoms are lifelike, at least this number!"
Qian casually threw the plum blossom hairpin into the pile of jewelry. "I want pure gold. ”
"Pure gold?!" the shopkeeper stared at Qian with wide eyes. It's these gold-filled people, who are dressed as peasant women, and they may not be able to afford it, and they actually boast that Haikou wants pure gold jewelry!
"How dare you look down on people!" Qian slapped the counter violently, and the jewelry on the wooden plate was shaken.
The guy was startled and couldn't help but take a step back. Staring at the Qian family with both eyes, okay! The country woman is just unreasonable and arrogant!"There are also expensive jewelry in our shop, you wait!" "When he takes it out, the other party can't afford it, and then humiliate her!"
Zhuo Nan watched the guy pull off the key on his waist, squatted down, and turned to open the innermost lock on the counter. Stretched out his hand and dragged Qian to the side, and whispered, "Mother, what are you angry with his buddy? Let's go." ”
"What are you going to go, your mother and I have money!" As she spoke, she saw that the guy had turned around, holding a plate of gold jewelry, carefully placed it on the counter, and she dragged Zhuo Nan over.
Qian finally picked a pure gold hairpin without any carving, and a gold bracelet with flower branches engraved on the surface, paid a silver ticket of one hundred taels and some broken silver, and in the stunned eyes of the shopkeeper, he carried the package and dragged Zhuo Nan out of the store.
As soon as he walked out, Zhuo Nan dragged Qian aside. "Mother! How can you buy such expensive jewelry? You have emptied your family for me, and when you go back, your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law should have a quarrel! There are also four girls who will get married in a few years, and you still have to marry you! Let's quickly change hands and sell them to other jewelry shops!"
As soon as Qian saw that his daughter was really coming, he hurriedly shook off her hand and was also anxious. "My mother didn't empty out the family! This is for my mother to help you save from when you were a child!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Nan was silent. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she had visited the rouge gouache shop with the Qian family, and before she entered the jewelry store, she was tied up by Zhuo Ziao. The prime minister's wife rescued her at that time, and when she saw her, her expression was very strange, as if she was very excited, but she still sent her away with the Qian family.
A few days later, I don't know where the prime minister learned the truth, his concubine was born and was replaced by his wife with a baby boy of unknown origin. As an adopted daughter, she sent someone to take her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and foster her in the name of her biological mother, the Prime Minister's wife, but deliberately and cruelly told her the truth.
The Prime Minister's wife begged for her forgiveness. Pear Blossom told her with rain that it was the maid who was attached to her who accidentally lost her, and she was worried that the prime minister would blame her, so she made an irreparable mistake for a while and replaced her with Zhuo Ziao.
Later, after several twists and turns, I found out her whereabouts, but I didn't dare to recognize her.
Every year, she will send a personal grandmother to secretly send a sum of silver taels to the Qian family, for fear that her adoptive parents will treat her badly!
So she took it for granted that Qian's money-loving temperament must have given this money to ink!
is like a jewel to her, and it is also for the sake of money!
But now, the Qian family used all the money to buy her dowry .......
When Qian saw that his daughter stopped talking, he was suddenly shocked. She and Zhuo Laohan are both rural people who make a living from farming, even if they have the heart to save a dowry for their daughter since she was a child, it is impossible to get so much money at once!
What's more, she is not only Zhuo Nan's daughter, but also a fourth girl at home!
Qian peeped at Zhuo Nan's expression with a weak heart, for fear that she would suddenly ask, "Mother, where did our family get so much extra money for you to save?"
