Chapter 156: People in the City
Since Sun and Chen went to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac, the marriage of Gu Xiaomin and Dai Shuanglin has been put on the agenda.
Originally, the best day of the year was in May, but Gu Xiaomin was reported by Guozijian in May, so the two agreed to choose a day at the end of February.
Since the date has been chosen, the Dai family has to prepare a dowry, and the Gu family has to prepare a marriage room, which is a thousand-year-old principle, and both parties have already made plans.
"Sister Hong gave five acres of land when she got married, and later the family helped toss five acres of land plus two yards, Sister Lin's dowry can't be less than this, I pondered that the yard is gone, so I will give two miscellaneous courtyards, plus twenty acres of land......" At night, Dai Xiangen lay on the kang and counted the dowry for Dai Shuanglin, how to think that the dowry for Sister Lin was less.
"What? Twenty acres of land? The Sun family was shocked, not to mention their Puyang Town, even in Hexian County, there are few people who give a dowry of twenty acres of land, and Dai Xiangen is really willing.
"Too little? So how much more do you think is appropriate? Dai Xiangen felt that he was giving less, but he didn't know how much to give.
Sun couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said, "You are really willing, aren't you afraid that Brother Xian's daughter-in-law will have any thoughts in the future?" ”
This is not unreasonable, I am not afraid of giving my daughter a lot of dowry in the countryside, but I am afraid that my son and daughter-in-law will have something to say in the future, and then it will be a completely confused account that cannot be torn apart.
"Hehe, as far as you can think...... I don't think our brother Xian'er is that kind of person, let's talk about Brother Xian's daughter-in-law, I don't know where to live in it, let's take care of our own children first......" Dai Xiangen also smiled, thinking that Brother Xian'er is also twelve years old this year, and he has to start looking for relatives in less than two years, and then he will become a biological son, and then he and Sun will be grandparents, and after hugging his grandson, he will hand over all the things about the stone dome to Brother Xian, and then he will help Brother Xian take care of the children with Sun.
"I know you want Sister Lin to be decent when she goes out, but you have to think about it, we are not the only Sister Lin, you feel sorry for Sister Lin to give her too much, what does Sister Hong think? Oh, in total, Sister Guanglin is your daughter, and I was picked up by you? Sun had thought about this a long time ago, so as soon as Dai Xiangen said it, Sun told him the truth.
"But now it's different from when Sister Hong went out, what was the situation at home at that time, what is the situation at home now, you can't let Sister Lin marry into the Gu family decently because of this...... Besides, Sister Hong is indisputable, she is a generous child, and she will not blame us for this. Dai Xiangen's volume unconsciously increased a little, he didn't like to listen to Sun's words, he remembered Sister Lin'er's merits, so no one could wronged Sister Lin in his heart.
"Generosity? Now that they are young, they naturally don't count these things, but when they are older and have to take care of their families and raise children, you see that they will not count these things...... "Whether it is the mother-in-law's family or the mother's family, which family has a lot of brothers and sisters, and the relationship was very good when I was a child, but then it was not because of these things that I gradually had a dislike, and finally it was not as good as a passerby."
"......" Dai Xiangen couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it, several of his brothers and sisters also loved each other when they were young, the two younger sisters were the eldest brother and the eldest brother screamed, and the second brother also focused on him as the eldest brother in everything, and the happiest thing before his father and mother left was the harmonious relationship between their brothers and sisters.
"Let me say, just give Sister Lin ten acres of land, plus two yards is enough, if you feel that you don't want to go, just prepare more money for Sister Lin...... You don't know, Sister Lin must have silver in her own hands, when you copy so many books, you really only have so much silver every time? "Anyway, the Sun family has thought about it, how much silver Dai Xiangen put in Sister Lin, and she will supply Sister Hong as much afterwards, so as not to make Sister Hong feel strong when she knows about it.
"Are you sure to give ten acres of land, Gu Dabao and the Chen family will not stir up trouble in the future?" Dai Xiangen frowned and asked, Sun didn't dare to say anything big in his heart for a while, and both of them were quiet so far.
On the Dai family's side, Dai Xiangen and the Sun family muttered for a long time, but they didn't discuss the reason.
And in the middle of the night, someone on the Gu family's side suddenly smashed something, and Dai Xiangen and the Sun family, who woke up, looked at each other.
The next day, Sun went to talk to Chen, and saw Chen's red eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
"What else? The child's father meant to give the houses in the county town to Brother Min and Sister Lin, and the old house and the land at home were left to the boss, but Sister Xia and her mother hadn't spoken yet, and Brother Sheng didn't do it, Dabao only said a few words to him, Brother Sheng picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it on the ground...... "Chen looked sad and sighed, "This child is a debt if he has too much." ”
"It's not" Sun now found a bosom friend, so he told Chen about the problems he encountered, Chen couldn't understand this, took Sun's hand and said: "Brother Sheng wronged him in marriage, so I want to fulfill him in this matter, you see......"
"This ......" Sun was secretly a little unhappy, Gu Dai's two houses in the county seat were close together, if Sister Lin and Brother Min got the house in the county seat, it would be no different from living in her mother's house, but if the two of them could only share the Gu family's property in Puyang Town in the future, it would be too far away.
In the future, wouldn't Sister Hong and Brother Xian both live in the county seat, and only Sister Lin will live alone in the countryside?
"Don't worry, in the future, Brother Min and Sister Lin will return to Puyang Town, and my child's father and I will give them more silver......" Chen's meaning is somewhat similar to Sun's meaning, they are all impartial on the surface, but it is necessary to secretly subsidize one or two, after all, various situations are really incompatible.
Sun went back to Dai's house and told Dai Xiangen about it, Dai Xiangen clapped his hands and said "Okay", seeing that Sun was unknown, he couldn't help but explain: "Brother Min and Sister Lin may not live in the future, in case Brother Min is admitted to the Jinshi, and he will become an official everywhere in the future, it doesn't matter where the house in his hometown is located." ”
"That's the same thing, if the house is placed there, it will be broken, and the ground will not be broken...... When the two of them come back when they are old, they can hire a few people to farm...... "The Gu family considered giving the house in the city to Brother Min'er and Sister Lin'er, maybe they just thought that Brother Min'er couldn't go to the land to grow grain, but they didn't want to think about it, more than a hundred acres of land, who would go to the land in person."
The matter was settled, Gu Xiaosheng went out like no one, he had recently made a few friends in the city, and he didn't have much to do with his family.
Xiao Chen's was in a good mood and coaxed Sister Ju alone, and when she saw Sister Ju rolling around on the kang, she couldn't help but say happily: "Good girl, from now on, we will be from the city, and in the future, my mother will find you and your sister a rich son-in-law......"
