Within two days, the Yang family sent a matchmaker to the door.

Sister-in-law Yang looked at the dowry list prepared by the master and wife for the second girl, and immediately made a decision, taking out the unique craftsmanship of the Yang family and adding it to the dowry. In addition, I bought a two-entry house for the little couple in the town, only three alleys away from Yanghuai Hutong, just waiting for the second girl to marry and have children, let them move to the town to live! The matchmaker couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and praised the in-laws on both sides, "Ouch, Mrs. Xia, your in-laws are well-married, but there is silver in your pocket, and it is all hidden!" As soon as your dowry list was delivered, the family couldn't sit still, so they were afraid that they would snub the second girl...... Sister-in-law Yang said, although there is only one man in the Yang family, but if you get married, it is half of your son, and if there is anything outside the family in the future, you can call ......"

Xia Chenghe sat with Roche, nodding his head from time to time, leaving the space for the matchmaker to play.

According to the rules, urging marriage must be urged at least three times to show that the mother's family is reluctant to raise her daughter.

These three times are also very particular.

The first time to urge marriage, the matchmaker to discuss, dowry, dowry inappropriate places, to repair and improve, if both parties reach an agreement, can go to the second urging.

Xia Chenghe discussed with Luo for a night, and on the second day, he found Uncle Li, Aunt Li and Xia Chengxiang to discuss, Aunt Li and Li's opinions were relatively unified, and they couldn't wronged the child, but they couldn't put too much pressure on the face of their in-laws.

Xia Chengxiang and Uncle Li looked at each other and smiled helplessly, the two of them can't, but how to deal with it?

Roche sighed, "I should have known that the relationship between the two should not have been set on the same day......

Aunt Li advised, "Maybe on the same day, which one else can you lose?" ”

Roche sighed.

Li Shi came up with an idea, "It's better to press the number of lifts, didn't the third sister-in-law prepare forty-eight lifts?" Compressed into thirty-two lifts! Everything is pressed tightly so that no one will be looked down upon...... Besides, let's add a dowry, and then send some to the Sheng family in private......"

When Li said this, he suddenly remembered that the master of the Sheng family was the eldest brother of Aunt Li's mother, so he glanced at Aunt Li, and saw that Aunt Li didn't mind, so he dared to go down, "The master and wife of the Sheng family are very satisfied with our three mothers, but a few shallow-eyed subordinates, the deed of sale is in the hands of the master, they dare to make a mistake, it is not a matter of pinching and selling......"

Aunt Li laughed, "What the fifth daughter-in-law said is reasonable, the dowry is just like this, you press the bottom of the box more silver, the kid is shallow-eyed, disrespectful people have to smile at Sanniang for three points in the face of the silver, and after a year and a half, you will send something in private, and Sanniang will be pregnant with a child, and no one in the Sheng family will dare to say anything." ”

It is said that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and Luo is entangled in his heart, for fear that one of the two daughters will be wronged by her in-law's family because of the dowry, she can't make up her mind, and goes to see Xia Chenghe, "Her father, this, can this be done?" ”

Xia Chenghe looked at Luo, and the couple stared at each other, unable to make up their minds.

There was silence in the room.

Half a ring, Eleven Niang probed, and said with a smile, "Cheng!" I think it's going to happen! ”

A room full of people looked up to see Eleven Niang.

Luo's tangled heart was interrupted by Eleven Niang, and he was relieved a lot, and glared at his daughter, "How old are you, and you are not ashamed." ”

"It's the second sister and the third sister who are married, and it's not me who is married, what am I ashamed of?" Eleven Niang entered the house with a rogue smile, leaned crookedly against Luo's side, hugged Luo's arm, and said with a smile, "Mother, I just received a letter from my third aunt-in-law, he said that our family's silver has earned again, do you want to guess how much?" ”

Roche glanced at his daughter and asked suspiciously, "A lot?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and didn't answer her, and went to look at Xia Chenghe again, "Dad, guess?" ”

Xia Chenghe shook his head, how could he guess this?

Eleven Niang stretched out her hands and compared a crossed ten with her index finger.

Roche guessed, "Ten taels ......"

After speaking, I saw my daughter looking at her with disgust, and she couldn't help coughing twice.

Aunt Li chuckled on the side.

"Why don't you tell us quickly, what are you sloppy with us?" Xia Chengxiang scolded his niece with a smile, and Li pursed his lips and smiled.

Eleven Niang pretended to be proud, her eyes fell on everyone, causing a circle of people to be curious, and she was scolded by Luo's smile, "You girl, you have to sè, say quickly, we are still waiting to discuss the dowry of your two sisters, but we don't have time to accompany you mushroom ......"

Eleven Niang compared to ten, snorted her nose, and smiled mysteriously, "Mother, can you and Dad sit tight?" The third aunt-in-law has multiplied the amount of silver I brought back from the capital tenfold! Ten times more! So my father and mother don't have to worry about those subordinates of the Sheng family daring to treat my sister badly, we can kill them with silver alone...... It's the whole Sheng family......"

Eleven Niang brought back 100,000 taels from the capital, and 100,000 times multiplied, that is...... One million taels!

Xia Chenghe and Roche gasped at the same time!

The eyes were shocked, and after a few breaths, the two of them came to their senses, and Luo grabbed Eleven Niang's arm, and his voice trembled, "Really, really?" ”

Eleven Niang squinted and nodded.

Luo Shi stared at his daughter, the horror in his eyes did not dissipate for a long time, and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing, only repeating one sentence, "You, you girl......"

Xia Chenghe was not much better than Luo, he stood up and walked around the room non-stop, glancing at Eleven Niang from time to time, and stopped talking.

Xia Chengxiang and his wife and the Li family were a little confused, and quietly made eye contact, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know."

"It seems that the third brother has joined the Mo family's shares and shared a lot of profits?"

"It looks like this."

"But the third brother and third sister-in-law are clearly frightened on their faces, what is the situation?"

"I don't know."

“……”

I don't know how long it took, Xia Chenghe stopped and clapped, "Just press her."

Footsteps, clapping, "Just do what they say, press the dowry into thirty-two lifts, press the silver at the bottom of the box for Erniang and Sanniang to prepare more, and the rest ......"

The two couples looked at each other, but they both wisely skipped the topic of talent and talked about a series of things.

Sending the two families away, Xia Chenghe and Luo pulled Eleven Niang into the bedroom.

"Eleven Niang, what you just said is true?"

Eleven Niang nodded, took out the letter from her arms and handed it to Xia Chenghe and Luo, "The third aunt sent a letter saying that our family doesn't have to save money, how to do the scenery!" Because the amount of money our family has invested in the past has multiplied tenfold......"

Shi Niang didn't say that what she sent over at that time was 200,000 taels, but now it has multiplied tenfold, and it is not 1 million taels.

Rao is husband and wife have heard such words once before, and when they listen to it again at this moment, their hearts still have a moment of uncontrollable pause, and then they beat at a violent speed, and they can't stop at all!

The difference is that the couple no longer have to take care of other people's feelings like they do in the living room, but take a long breath and sit on the edge of the kang.

"My mother...... One million taels ...... I've never seen so much silver in my life......" Luo said intermittently, leaning on Xia Chenghe's shoulder, his eyes full of confusion.

Xia Chenghe's Adam's apple rolled, and after a baptism, Shicai came back to his senses faster than Luo's, and it is still at this time.

He looked at his daughter, a little worried and entangled, "Silver ticket ......"

Eleven Niang understood what Xia Chenghe meant, and immediately said, "The third aunt only asked people to send back 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and the rest continued to be used as the principal and into shares." ”

Xia Chenghe nodded, "Let's take what we deserve, and let your third aunt take ......care of the rest for you."

It's you, not us......

Eleven Niang heard something from Xia Chenghe's words, rolled her eyes, put away the smile on her face, pulled a brocade and sat on the side of the kang, looked up at Xia Chenghe, and looked uneasy, "Dad, I ......"

Xia Chenghe raised his hand to touch his daughter's head, "Dad knows, dad knows ......"

"That dad also said......" Eleven Niang pouted, her eyes full of tears.

Luo on the side was a little inexplicable, sat up straight and looked at the two, "Okay, you guys are ......"

"Dad treats me as an outsider...... Eleven Niang's tears rolled down big and big, she hurriedly lowered her head, but she couldn't control the tears pouring down, Luo immediately panicked, she pushed Xia Chenghe and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" My daughter is my daughter, you dare to treat her as an outsider, let's ...... Let's leave! ”

Hearing that Luo even said Heli's words, Xia Chenghe hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that!" I just think that the silver was obtained by Eleven Niang selling calligraphy and painting, and it should be Eleven Niang's, so we shouldn't ...... it."

"Woo...... The money earned by that father is all my father's, can't I spend a penny? Eleven Niang covered her face and cried.

Luo Shi glared at Xia Chenghe.

Xia Chenghe hurriedly said, "How can it be the same, what Dad earns is your ......"

"Then what I earn is also my father's, unless I ......" Eleven Niang flattened her mouth, let go of her hand, and her face was full of tears, "Unless my father and mother kick me out and don't admit that I am the daughter of the Xia family...... Mother, Daddy is going to kick me out......"

"Nonsense, if your father dares to let you out, my mother will divorce your father, and we will live together ......" Luo Shi hugged his daughter and glared at Xia Chenghe.

Xia Chenghe couldn't cry or laugh, where did he dare to say anything, and said continuously, "Dad didn't mean that!" Daddy didn't mean that......"

"Daddy has, Daddy clearly has! Dad doesn't want the money I earned......" Eleven Niang continued to cry.

Luo reached out and twisted Xia Chenghe, Xia Chenghe bowed his head helplessly, "Dad didn't say no!" ”

Eleven Niang continued to bargain, "Don't give me all the marriage!" I want to live with my parents for the rest of my life......"

Xia Chenghe smiled, "Okay, don't we all marry you!" ”

Eleven Niang stopped crying.

Luo nodded his daughter's head, "Don't be ashamed, I can say what I said if I lived with my father and mother all my life, why don't I go and wash my face and ...... it."

Eleven Niang snorted arrogantly, wiped her tears, and ran out.

Seeing his daughter leaving, Luo Shi glared at Xia Chenghe, "Why did you suddenly talk nonsense?" What does it mean that Eleven Niang is an outsider? ”

Xia Chenghe laughed, "After all, it was obtained by Eleven Niang's silver from selling calligraphy and paintings, let's ......"

"Is Eleven Niang for herself?" There were a few tears in Luo's eyes, "If she hadn't been paid a hundred taels of silver by Erlang, she would have almost ...... Will she go to the house to make money? The family has the current situation, isn't it all the credit of the eleventh mother, if it weren't for the eleven mother, where would you get the ginseng you eat to replenish your body? How do we buy this house where our family lives? What about the dowry of Erniang and Sanniang? You don't say good and obedient, but pour salt on your daughter's wounds, are you such a father? ”

Xia Chenghe's mind was confused, he, he really didn't expect this, he just ...... He just felt ......

"Do you think you're the head of the family, and it's up to you to make money to feed your family?" Luo Shi slapped Xia Chenghe, "Then where did the silver I got embroidered in the first two years of marriage, where did the silver that Yuan Niang, Erniang, and Sanniang embroidered for others?" Aren't they all used to support their families? Why don't you care about our mothers, you are actually ...... now? How can you hurt Eleven Niang's heart like this, didn't you see what the child was crying like, are you such a father? She stretched out her hand, and she was going to beat Xia Chenghe again.

Xia Chenghe grabbed Luo's hand and apologized, "I was wrong, I was wrong!" I didn't really think about it that much, I ......"

Luo didn't care, snatched his hand, and beat Xia Chenghe five or six times in succession, and the depression in his heart disappeared, relying on Xia Chenghe to rest.

After a while, she sat up and looked at Xia Chenghe with a strange face, "Her father, why do I always feel like an upstart?" ”

Xia Chenghe was stunned, but no, he also felt this way.

The husband and wife looked at each other.

Eleven Niang went back to the house, and Yan Xia came in with water.

In.

"Girl, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, the sand is blind, you take out the box that the third aunt sent with someone else."

Yan Xia smiled and went to rummage.

Eleven Niang looked at a beautiful and moving face in the water, sighed, and reached out to hold the water and slapped it on her face.

He poured another glass of water, and after drinking it, he took the box containing the silver ticket and went to listen to He Xuan.

deliberately made a look of unease, opened the curtain, and walked in.

"Eleven Niang, what's wrong?"

Seeing Eleven Niang's face, Luo Shi glared at Xia Chenghe, Xia Chenghe was busy laughing, and greeted Eleven Niang, "Eleven Niang, come, sit." ”

Eleven Niang glanced at the two of them crampedly, took out a mahogany box from behind, put it on the small table on the kang, hung her head and said, "Dad, mother, this is a hundred thousand taels of silver tickets sent by the third aunt's husband, originally I wanted to discuss with you, give the second sister and the third sister 40,000 taels together, let's leave 20,000 taels for expenses, and the third aunt will send profit money every quarter in the future, now ......"

She looked up and pouted, looking very gloomy.

Luo Che stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Chenghe, where did Xia Chenghe dare to say anything, and said busily, "Cheng, listen to you,"

Eleven Niang's face was immediately full of smiles, "Really, Dad? ”

"Really." Seeing that his daughter was smiling so happily, Xia Chenghe glanced at Luo Shi and nodded with a smile.

Eleven Niang said on her twitter, "...... The silver at the bottom of the box for the second sister is really pressed at the bottom of the box, and the 40,000 taels of silver tickets are put in the wooden box to accompany them, and they are not opened when the dowry is sunned, only we know from our families behind closed doors...... The 40,000 taels for the third sister took out 10,000 taels and exchanged them for gold ingots and put them in the box, and opened them for the Sheng family to see, although it was a bit rough to show off their wealth, but the effect was often amazing, father, mother, what do you think? ”

Xia Chenghe and Luo Shi both said that their eyes lit up, and asked Eleven Niang to call Er Niang and San Niang, both of them were shocked to marry so many dowries, and they both waved their hands and didn't want to!

I heard that Eleven Niang said that the family took silver to the third aunt, these are dividends, and there will be more and more in the future, so I nodded.

Eleven Niang went back to the room and let out a long breath, letting her father and mother accept getting rich overnight, it was really not a simple job, fortunately, the time was good, and she caught up with the second sister and the third sister to get married, otherwise, she really couldn't find any way to expose so much silver......

Although it is okay to hide it from the two of them, she wants her father and mother to never worry about the silver again, so that a few sisters can straighten their waists and live in their in-laws' family when they get married.

Anyway, she has no plans to marry again in her life!

Within two days, the dowry list was sent to the Yang family and the Sheng family again, and neither of them had a second word.

For the second time to urge marriage, the matchmaker led the man's brother and concubine to show that the newlyweds were accepted into the door, and the rest of the family expressed sincerity and welcome.

The populations of the Yang family and the Sheng family are simple, the Yang family invited several brothers and concubines who had a good relationship with the door, and the Sheng family invited the Sheng family's friends of life and death, the sons of good friends in the business field, and several Sheng Zidu's friends and wives.

Chef Fan took charge of the kitchen and made a sumptuous meal to entertain, Xia Chenghe and Luo invited Uncle Li and Aunt Li, Xia Chengxiang and Li to accompany the guests, and the guests were happy.

When Xia Chengping heard about the battle of the third daughter of the Xia family's third room to urge marriage, his regretful intestines were blue! He should have known that Sheng Zi was a talent, and the people around him must be indispensable to people with fame!

The third room is really hateful!

It's his business whether to go or not, but Xia Chenghe didn't invite him, but invited the group of mud legs surnamed Li!

He complained to himself, no one in the third room paid attention to him, he was now more face-conscious than before, and he couldn't do anything like the Xia family's small shop in the past, so he could only get angry.

After the second urging to get married, it will be the third urging in a few days.

For the third time to urge marriage, the matchmaker brought the man's parents and son to show her hope for the new daughter-in-law, and she couldn't wait.

After completing the three marriage urges, it is time to start announcing the wedding date and the dowry.

The customs of Cangtong Town are different from those of Qingshui Town, but in order to respect the in-laws, they also follow the rules of Qingshui Town.

At this time, Shi Niang knew that the marriage date they had agreed on was July 22, and on that day, it was the best day of the year to get married, to move, and to enter the house.

……

The two rooms sent by the third aunt are two families, one family is surnamed Wei, and the daughter-in-law is surnamed Jiang, and there are two daughters, one son is eight years old, the eldest daughter is thirteen, and the second daughter is ten years old, and she follows Erniang; The family surname is Qi, the daughter-in-law is surnamed Tian, there are two daughters, two sons, the eldest son is sixteen, the second son is ten years old, the eldest daughter is twelve, and the second daughter is seven years old.

Erniang and Sanniang renamed the sons and daughters of the two families, the girl named the cloth, and the boy named the medicine.

Jiang Pozi's two daughters, the eldest Huang Aya, the younger feather satin, and the son took the medicinal name Du Zhong; Tian Pozi's two daughters, the eldest Yuebai, the younger Yunjin, the two sons, the eldest Changshan, and the younger Baiqing.

The two families have stayed in everyone's son, and because everyone had an accident, they were sold cheaply, and Mo Shouzhen bought them back. There is a sense of caution in the family, and the service is even more meticulous, that is, the youngest is only seven years old Yunjin, and taking care of people is much better than Yan Xia and Hui Chun.

The two of them are not full-time waiters, some people are happier to take errands, one accompanies Banniang to practice martial arts every day, and the other follows Eleven Niang, helping to run errands, and the small life is also nourishing.

In May, Xia Chengxiang sent eleven arrows and crossbows.

There is a coolness in the start, and if you look closely, the arrow crossbow is black all over, glowing with a faint light, compared to the one built for the first time, it is not inferior at all! And even better! Even the line in the arrow was carefully coiled by Xia Chengxiang, and the mechanism that launched the thin line was also designed by Xia Chengxiang to be simpler, and Eleven Niang's eyes were about to burst into flames when she looked at Xia Chengxiang.

Light.

"Fifth uncle, you are so amazing!"

Integrate and draw inferences, and you can grasp the number so accurately with just a pair of eyes, what a talent!

Xia Chengxiang laughed, "If you are satisfied, it will be done!" Then I'll go back first, this month, people have knocked on the door every day, and my father is a little unbearable. ”

Yan Xia enthusiastically sent Xia Chengxiang out of the door, and returned to Eleven Niang's room in three steps and two steps, staring at a table of boxes with arrows and crossbows with burning eyes.

Eleven Niang laughed, "Go and shout Huichun, Wanfu, Wanbaolai, each of you picks one." ”

"Yes, girl!" Yan Xia's voice was crisp, his round face was red, and his eyes couldn't hide the joy.

Huichun had already heard Yan Xia say that the arrow crossbow was powerful, but Wanfu and Wanbao were hidden, and I heard that such a good secret weapon also had its own share, and when I arrived at Eleven Niang's room, I couldn't stop smiling on my face.

One of the four people picked one, Yan Xia had seen Eleven Niang use an arrow crossbow, and Eleven Niang handed over the task of teaching three people to use an arrow crossbow to Yan Xia, and Yan Xia also wanted to try a new arrow crossbow, where was there any unhappiness, several people went out of Acacia Hutong together and rode to the suburbs.

When I came back at night, my faces were full of excitement.

Banniang saw Huichun's arrow crossbow and asked for it, but Eleven Niang couldn't, so she had to give her one and let Huichun teach her to use it. took four more racks out and gave them to Mo Shouzhen, Jiang Yi, Mei Changfeng and Su Changting.

The remaining two were all going to be sent to Xue Ye, leaving the original one for himself.

Unexpectedly, she was worried about this little thing by Gu Zizhou, and bargained with Shi Niang for the arrow crossbow left for Xue Ye if Shi Niang didn't make it for him, and asked Shi Niang to build a hundred for him! He could have bought it for a thousand taels and a pair of silver!

Eleven Niang is speechless, a hundred? How he doesn't want a thousand!

Eleven Niang decisively refused, "That's for Xue Ye's self-defense and life-saving, if you dare to detain it, I will count him on your head if he misses a single hair!" Want a crossbow? It's been built, it's finished, it's gone! ”

Gu Zizhou naturally didn't dare to really detain it, and while bargaining with Eleven Niang, he asked people to send it to Xue Ye in person, "That's half, fifty." ”

"My ten crosses will take more than a month, and you want fifty? Not! Eleven Niang refused again.

Gu Zizhou was helpless, "Grandma, then how much do you say you can give?" I bought it all for 1,500 taels! ”

Eleven Niang thought of Gu Zizhou, a bewitching beauty with a helpless look, and reluctantly went to find Xia Chengxiang.

Xia Chengxiang didn't refuse, just for the sake of embarrassment, "The stone used to build the arrow crossbow was carried back from Mantou Mountain by my father-in-law when he was young, and when it is used up, there is no more, and the toughness of the arrow crossbow made of ordinary iron is not enough, and it is not a ...... at all."

Eleven Niang remembered the order of the cold iron head of Fengyue Gate, and went back to take Xia Chengxiang to look at it, Xia Chengxiang touched it and smiled, "It's this kind of stone, which is tempered." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, "This is cold iron, only in extremely cold places." ”

Why it appears in Mantou Mountain, it is unknown.

"Fifth uncle, otherwise, let them find the stones, and if there are stones, you will take the order, and if there are no stones, you will give up. How is it? ”

Xia Chengxiang responded briskly, "Done!" As long as it is used to save people, it is not harmful, and what is hit is not beaten! ”

Eleven Niang nodded, turned her head and wrote a letter to Gu Zizhou, "Find the stone yourself, send it over after it is tempered, twenty frames, no more one!" A manual cost of two thousand taels! ”

Gu Zizhou's letter came soon, and he didn't have a word about what Shi Niang said about finding the stone herself, and there was no objection to the price, but he still wanted to fight for ten more crosses, saying that he had assigned Xue Ye a secret guard group, just thirty people, and wanted to match each of them with one.

Eleven Niang accepted the letter, responded with a smile, and promised to give him two more planes, which was a discount.

Gu Zizhou threw the letter to Hongyue, "Glass, cold melon, and arrow crossbow in the palm, if we hadn't checked the information of this girl, I would have thought that there was another person living in her body." ”

Hongyue smiled, "When this batch of arrows and crossbows arrives, we can dismantle and study the ...... by ourselves."

"It's not as simple as you think, I have carefully observed the two arrows and crossbows that Xia Shiyi gave to Xue Ye, the design inside is very exquisite, it is not something that can be imitated by looking at it, if one part does not fit, the entire arrow crossbow will be scrapped!" And the cold iron is hard to find, use a little bit and waste a little......" Gu Zizhou shook his head, his slender fingers pinched the wide sleeved robe, and gently combed it.

Hongyue nodded, "That's what the young master said. ”

Gu Zizhou smiled, "How is Ziyan doing?" ”

"Grinding the red snow out of temper." Hongyue pursed her lips and smiled, "After three days of running away from home, Hongxue didn't dare to stop him when he got the order, so she just waited for him to rest at night and then quietly carried him back." A few days ago, Young Master Ziyan endured three days and three nights without sleeping, and he was almost about to leave the Falling Star Lake, but fortunately, on the fourth day, he didn't stay up and fell asleep, so he was brought back by Hongxue......"

Gu Zizhou was stunned, then showed a doting smile, and sighed, "Now I can still help him block it, if one day my father-in-law and I are gone, this big family business will fall on his shoulders alone......"

Hongyue smiled, lowered her head and stopped speaking.

Gu Zizhou sighed, got up and went to the window, pushed the window and looked, the starry sky was like a wild, the moon was like a jade plate, but the starry sky was empty and lonely because the full moon only had a few stars.

……

At the same time, the summer family room, the courtyard of the four rooms.

Huang slapped his son's arm, "You're crazy! I haven't taught you a lesson from losing money last time, and I'm going to gamble again! ”

Xia Erlang sat on the kang disappreciatively, kicking and shaking Erlang's legs, "Mother, if you don't give me silver, just watch me being hacked to death by those people!" Those people gave me a three-day period, and if I didn't send the money, it would cost me my life......"

Huang scolded angrily, and the scolding was naturally that the lives of those black-hearted and rotten people in the gambling house were also cheap, chirping crookedly, scolding and scolding, and his mouth was dry, so he slapped his son again, "How much did you lose?" ”

"Not much, three thousand taels ......"
