Mrs. Xie was extremely satisfied with her family's small Dingli that could amaze the four seats, but she still despised these buns in her heart.

After receiving the return gift from the Mu family, they began to discuss the marriage date of Xie Zhao and Mu Chanjuan.

"Since Geng Ti has been changed, then our wedding date must be set as soon as possible. I asked people to calculate the auspicious days, this year is the third day of the fifth month of May and the twenty-fifth day of July is the auspicious day to marry a wife and daughter, but next year someone has calculated, and Zhao'er's life is a little offended, it is not suitable to marry a wife, so if you want to marry, you must have to set this year. Mrs. Xie said, looking at Song Yan, "These two days, you can take a look and decide!" ”

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Today is the eighth day of the fourth month, this time is so urgent, how can I prepare a dowry for Chanjuan......"

Mrs. Xie just wanted to taunt her, what kind of good dowry can be given in this shabby house, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that Mu Lingluo and his wife were still sitting on the side, so she held back her words.

She said vaguely: "I know you love your daughter, but this auspicious day is still calculated by the monks in the temple, and it is the most auspicious day of the year." If it is delayed until the next year, my family Zhao'er will get older and older, and I am looking forward to holding my fat grandson. ”

When Song Yan heard this, he was also a little anxious, his face was sad, Mu Lingluo saw this, looked at Mrs. Xie, and said lightly: "Mother, since this is the case, let's pick up the twenty-fifth of July." Although it is a bit rushed, the basic dowry can still be prepared. ”

Although I don't know if Xie Zhao's luck will be really bad next year, Mrs. Xie will not make fun of Xie Zhao at will, so this may be true.

Song Yan nodded, "That's all it can be." ”

You can't really delay it for a year or two and not get married, if the marriage changes and Chanjuan becomes an old girl, I'm afraid it won't be good.

When Mrs. Xie saw that the marriage was finalized, she said the time for the dowry, and then got up to say goodbye.

Song Yan wanted to keep her for food, but Mrs. Xie didn't bother to eat the things of this farmhouse, and she always felt that they were not clean. She shirked the family matter, took the Mu family's Xiaoding gift in return, and took the carriage back to the city.

Song Yan still felt that the time was too short, "What can I do?" Time is so rushed, not to mention the dowry, just the door shoes have no time to do, and there are many people in the Xie family, and they will have to use purses and the like for gifts in the future. ”

Women have to be more prepared to get married, all private rooms have to be embroidered, and even veils and objects have to be prepared.

Mu Ling came up with an idea and said, "Mother, why do you have to do it yourself, just spend tricks and ask Sister-in-law Feng and them to help." Although their embroidery may not be as good as yours, it is still possible to embroider a simple pattern purse, and as for the door shoes, you ask other aunts and sisters-in-law in the village to help and pay a salary, and they must be willing. As for my sister's other dowry, I will discuss with you later, we will pack up the dowry and small gift sent by the Xie family, and it will go to my sister's dowry in the future. ”

Generally, those who have a good family background or love their daughters will not swallow the gifts sent by the man with a clear conscience, and will give it to the woman as a dowry to press the dowry box.

Song Yan nodded, "Okay, you have been doing a lot lately, and you need to pay more attention to your body, don't be tired." ”

After sending off the guests, Mu Lingluo poured out all her money and counted it many times, but the amount of silver was left there, and she couldn't help but rub her forehead.

Seeing that she was so troubled, Su Zimo walked to the table and sat down, "Is this a small amount of money to prepare a dowry?" He glanced at the silver, "More than five hundred taels is enough to prepare a rich and beautiful dowry." ”

You must know that in the big families in the capital, the concubines who are not favored may not be able to get such a good dowry. The dowry of the noble girl in the famous family is only 5,000 taels, unless she is very favored or has a very solid family background, otherwise it really can't exceed this number.

Mu Lingluo sighed, "Having said that, I have to prepare a dowry of twenty-two taels for my sister." I just sighed, this money is really unspent, and the silver that I finally got in my hands is about to be spent before I can cover it, and I feel distressed! ”

"Twenty-two?" Su Zimo raised his eyebrows, "You are better to your sister than to yourself." If you are still short of money, just ask me, why sigh here alone. ”

The most important thing he lacks in Su Zimo is money.

When Mu Lingluo heard this, she glanced at him, and slandered him in her heart, she didn't know him yet, but it was just a tael a month, where was there more money, she generally didn't accept him, and the man always had to have some money for entertainment.

"That's natural, that's my only and dearest sister, of course I have to be nice to her." Mu Lingluo raised his lips and smiled: "Moreover, now the family situation is much better than before, I naturally have to be Zhang Luo for my sister, you didn't look at Mrs. Xie's appearance, as if my Mu family was going to suck her, I really want her to know that my Mu family is not worse than his Xie family." I must let my sister marry into the Xie family in a beautiful manner, so that she can be a person in the Xie family with her head held high. ”

Twenty-two dowries can catch up with the dowries of some famous concubines or the daughters of wealthy families in the city, if you say it, it is also a very face-saving thing. You must know that there are few married women in Anyu County who can give a dowry of twenty-two quintals.

Su Zimo pursed her lips slightly when she saw her little appearance of planning everything for her family, looking at her carefully putting away those silver treasures, her heart was slightly warm and sour.

She is like this, like the sun warms the people around her, and everything she thinks about is someone else's priority.

Mu Lingluo put away half of the things, and suddenly pointed her fingers, remembering what she forgot to ask last time because she was too busy, she narrowed her beautiful eyes, "By the way, I forgot to ask you last time, did you forget to tell me something?" ”

"What?" Su Zimo was puzzled, seeing Mu Lingluo's frank and lenient appearance, resisting strictness, he frowned, and said lightly: "I have nothing to deceive you." ”

Mu Lingluo packed up all the money, and when she heard this, she raised her eyes to look at Su Zimo, who looked ignorant, and pursed her lips, "It turns out that Xiaogui didn't tell you?" ”

"Xiaogui?" Su Zimo shook his head.

Mu Lingluo remembered the arrogant Guo Shaomei that day, as if Su Zimo was her belongings, obviously she was Su Zimo's wife, why did she ask an outsider. She actually had the mentality of letting Su Zimo explain, but Su Zimo never mentioned it, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Su Zimo's innocent look, she bit her lip and said in a low voice, "What's the matter with that county lady?" ”
