The summer solstice has some meaning, but when I think about it, I feel that this is also reasonable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to continue to meet the needs of the Tian family in recent years, Xia Xiucai has worked very the one hand, he has to open source, and on the other hand, he has to reduce expenditure.
This kind of thing may not be known to other gentlemen, but Xia Xiucai noticed it because of his special situation.
Because Xia Xiucai talked about making money, Xia Zhi vaguely guessed what he would say next, so he stopped talking. She wanted to see how Xia Xiu would speak.
Seeing that Xia Zhi was silent, Xia Xiucai thought that he was right about the point. He sighed softly, put down the wheelbarrow, and walked to Xia Zhi's side.
"Sixteen, your mother wants to prepare a sum of money for your grandmother's family, and you want it on May Day. You know that, right?"
Xia Solstice nodded. She asked Xiao Shu'er to eavesdrop on this matter, and then deliberately made a fuss in front of Old Man Xia.
"Your grandmother's family wants two hundred taels of silver to give your eldest brother a daughter-in-law. Your mother is just this nephew, and she is the only root of your grandmother's family. Dabao's appearance, hey, the Tian family's incense can't be cut off here, and your mother can't stand it! I discussed with your mother, and I have to prepare at least half of it for her on the May Festival. ”
The little black fish was furious when he heard this, and he was about to say Xia Xiucai with his eyes narrowed. Xia Zhi gently tugged at the sleeve of the little black fish and told him not to say anything.
The little black fish is puffing up. That is, the summer solstice stopped him, and he was willing to endure it temporarily. If someone else tries to stop him, he can't stop him.
The little black fish was secretly lucky.
Xia Xiucai didn't seem to be aware of it, and when he saw that Xia Zhi didn't speak, he continued to speak. "I originally planned to advance some salary with Li Shanchang, and then borrow and borrow, even if it was bad, it was not much worse. But ......"
Speaking of this, Xia Xiucai's face was completely shrouded in a dark cloud of pain and trouble. He told Xia Zhi: "Originally, the mountain chief had already agreed. But two days ago he called me over. Something happened in the academy, and the turnover could not be opened, and the matter of salary advance was not completed. ”
When Xia Zhi heard him say this, he deliberately asked, "How much did Dad borrow?"
The look of pain and annoyance on Xia Xiucai's face became heavier and heavier: "Originally, I could borrow some, but ...... The passing year is unfavorable, and it is no wonder that people have unforeseen circumstances ...... the sky"
In short, I didn't borrow a penny. I don't know if he refers to himself when he says bad years and unforeseen circumstances, or the person who originally planned to lend him money, or both?!
"Dad, how much money did you raise in total?" Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xiucai's face and asked cautiously.
"I only have two months' salary in my hand now......" In addition, he reads articles to students these days, and also helps people annotate the anthology of the current essays, and the total of miscellaneous and miscellaneous articles adds up to ten taels of silver. This is still the money he earned by working day and night, hard work, and even at the expense of making guns for others.
"In addition, there should be some students to send some Boxing gifts during the holidays...... "Xia Xiucai doesn't plan to move these Boxing gifts, and is still looking for someone to resell them according to the previous practice." Xia Xiucai can't say the exact number of silver coins in exchange, but it is six or seven taels of silver, and there will be no more.
"If these things add up, it's twenty taels. "Xia Xiucai's twenty taels can only be saved by frugality.
Twenty taels of silver, which is too far from Tian's request. Thinking that he would not be able to explain to the Tian family, Xia Xiucai was so worried that he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep.
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, he wouldn't have said this to Xia Zhi, and he wouldn't have ......
Xia Xiucai looked at Xia Solstice with guilt and expectation. His little girl has always been empathetic and very considerate. He's said it all to this point, she should know what to do. But this time Xia Solstice didn't seem to understand his intentions.
"Twenty taels of silver is not too little. With this money, our ordinary farmers can live a good life for two or three years. Xia Zhi calculated with Xia Xiucai very seriously a daily expenditure account of the Zhuang family. Then she said, "It's Brother Dabao's daughter-in-law, and the money is almost enough." ”
Having said this is not enough, Xia Zhi also asked Xia Xiucai:
"Dad, how much money did you spend when you married my mother. How much did my second uncle spend when they got married, and how much did my third uncle and my third aunt spend at that time?"
Xia Xiucai smiled bitterly. Ordinary Zhuang families marry daughters-in-law, ordinary operations, twenty taels of silver is not rich, but it is not impossible to do it. But the Tian family wanted to marry Tian Dabao's daughter-in-law, but the money was not enough.
"Sixteen, like your eldest brother, you also know ......" Tian Dabao is a fool, so he can't marry a daughter-in-law like a normal person. If you don't want money, who will marry a good girl to a fool.
But even so, it didn't cost two hundred taels of silver. Did the Tian family want to buy a fairy for Tian Dabao to come back?!
Xia Xiucai understands everything else, and he can also talk about the Tao, why is he confused when it comes to issues related to the Tian family and the Tian family?
Xia Solstice suppressed the fire in his chest. In fact, in her opinion, Tian Dabao should not marry a daughter-in-law. But she also knows what her era thinks of the descendants of incense.
Not only this era, but also the relatively enlightened and advanced era in which she was said to have gotten rid of feudal shackles before she crossed over, such a problem still existed.
"Dad, if my brother wants to marry the daughter of the elder of the pavilion, and they ask for a bride price of 10,000 taels, will you agree?" Xia Zhi thought about it and asked Xia Xiucai.
Xia Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood the meaning of Xia Zhi.
"Sixteen, things can't be compared like that. Your brother doesn't need to spend a bride price of 10,000 taels to marry a daughter-in-law. But Dabao, if he doesn't have money, it will be difficult for him to find a daughter-in-law. ”
It is difficult to say, this is a euphemism for Xia Xiucai's readers.
"Not really. Xia Zhi smiled, and changed his words to Xia Xiucai, "My brother doesn't need 10,000 taels to marry the daughter of the elder pavilion." Tian Dabao doesn't need so much silver, so he can't marry a girl who is stronger than him. My brother can use an ordinary bride price to marry a daughter-in-law who is a good match and two people are also a good match. Tian Dabao doesn't need so much money, and he can also set up a daughter-in-law who is the right person and is a good match with him. ”
Since you must marry Tian Dabao as a daughter-in-law, then don't harm other people's good daughters. Marrying someone who is similar to Tian Dabao can't use so much money.
"Sixteen ......" Xia Xiucai fully understood what Xia Zhi meant, he was very embarrassed, and called his daughter quite meaningfully.
Xia Zhi laughed twice, she understood what Xia Xiucai meant: "I know, my grandmother's heart is high." ”
This sentence explains everything clearly.
