Chapter 27 Borrowing money

In the courtyard, the people eating and drinking on the street are very lively, and the small living room of the Du family is also smiling.

Du Liu's two families got married, all by the master of joy, the two adults and children have never seen each other, Du Dad had the heart to see how the family style of the in-laws was, so he instigated his son to go to the Shanshui Temple, and invited the master of joy to participate in the marriage banquet, of course, the other protagonist of the marriage is also indispensable. So now the two families, plus the three masters and apprentices of the joy master, are gathered together.

The house is not big, and after a simple greeting, Du Xiaoxi's brothers and sisters-in-law went back to work, leaving only Du Xiaoxi's father and grandmother, Liu Yao's father and grandmother, Master Xile and his only two lay disciples quiet.

Liu Zi'an is a businessman, and he is the best at adjusting the atmosphere, and the two families will talk and laugh in a few sentences.

Master Xile was pulled by the old ladies of the two families to talk about Buddhism, Father Du and Second Master Liu talked about tea, and Du Niang and He Minru boasted that my daughter is a treasure and very well-behaved. My son's uncle is an official, and his father is a local tyrant. For a while, the two families who met for the first time were very harmonious.

Du Xiaoxi stared at the cute big eyes and looked at the four-year-old male doll opposite.

The two adults talked happily in detail, and directly stuffed Du Xiaoxi into Liu Xiaotu's arms, so that the two little guys could cultivate their feelings.

Liu Yao is a real little doll, and it is very rare to face Du Xiaoxi, who is smaller and softer than herself, touching her claws, touching her waist, and touching her hair, she is very busy.

Du Xiaoxi raised her head to evaluate her fiancé

Didn't cry, +1!

Love clean, +1!

Rich second generation, +1!

The only son, the rich second generation, +1!

Jun with red lips and white teeth, +10086......

Adding up little by little, Du Xiaoxi found that his fiancé was not bad!

The first meeting between the two families was successfully concluded!

Du Xiaoxi has a good impression of his Douding fiancé, and he feels like stepping on a potential stock!

Liu Yao didn't understand that his fiancée was a hairy thing, and he happily played with his little sister for most of the day.

The two adults nodded in unison, it was really a godsend, and they were so loving when they met for the first time.

Du Xiaoxi's life after the marriage is no different from before, he still eats, drinks and sleeps, but the Du family has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The dowry of six hundred and sixty-six taels, which is the first in each village, such a large amount of silver that many people have never been able to see in their lives makes many people envious.

As soon as the family banquet passed, a nest of seven aunts and eight aunts suddenly appeared in the Du family, led by Du Xiaoxi's two aunts, aunt Du Huan, and second aunt Du Zhaodi.

Grandma Du only has two daughters and a son, Daddy Du is the youngest, Grandma Du hurts the most when she is a child is Daddy Du's son, and the two sisters are also heart-wrenching to Du Cheng's younger brother under the guidance of their parents. Waiting for the sisters to get married, Daddy Du married a wife and had children, the nephews of the mother's family jumped out one by one, and the family ate and drank a lot, and the two aunts did not think about their mother's family subsidizing themselves, but brought some food from time to time to come over to see the old lady and nephews.

Du Xiaoxi and the Liu family got married, and the two aunts were even more happy to see it, waiting for their niece to become the young lady of the Liu family, and a random leak in her hand was enough for a group of nephews in her mother's family to have no worries about food and clothing. The two aunts of more than 600 taels of silver didn't think that Daddy Du, a peerless good father, would be sent back as a dowry, in their opinion, if they gave it to the Du family, it would become the Du family, Du Xiaoxi would marry a few dozen taels, and the rest would be divided among a few nephews.

The two aunts didn't want to touch the light of their mother's family, but they were both grandmothers, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family were very red-eyed, and they rushed the two of them to ask for silver every day.

Grandma Du and her two daughters had an idea, and they didn't think about taking all the silver out as a dowry. Although she loves her son, her daughter is also her own, and she has not been able to help her daughter over the years, and she can't help her daughter, Grandma Du can't help it, and the two aunts said about the silver with an embarrassed face, and Grandma Du immediately took out ten taels of silver from her money jar, and one person divided five taels.

The Du family's silver is divided into two parts, Daddy Du and Brother Du sell pork in the county town is a part, and Grandma Du takes Brother Du's grandsons to sell pork in the county town is a part, and Grandma Du and Du Niang are in charge of the crops and other miscellaneous incomes in Dujia Village. Grandma Du didn't avoid her son when she gave her daughter silver, and when her grandson went to the city to deliver meat, she brought a letter to her son. Daddy Du knew that he said that it was my own sister, and he gave it. The family's more than 600 taels of silver are enough to eat in the money bank, which is enough for most of the year's expenses, and since my sister has opened her mouth, she has to give it.

gave money to the two aunts, Grandma Du and Daddy Du didn't pay much attention to it, how do you know that in the next few days, various relatives will come to borrow silver, what to build a house, the son's wedding dowry is not enough, the daughter is going to get married, and the ** milk will be subsidized a little! Even Daddy Du in the county town does not stop here, when selling meat, there are often people who ask to give more, inside and out, it is revealed that your daughter is going to marry a big family, what's wrong with giving more meat, don't be so stingy!

Although these people are only a very small minority, most of them are still congratulating, but they can't resist the diaphragm!

When Grandma Du and Daddy Du were dizzy and dealing with all kinds of relatives who 'borrowed money', the pace of the New Year was slowly approaching, and the second brother Du who repaired the waterway finally returned.

Du Zhiyi came back, Du Zhiyi was arrested and went to repair the mountain waterway, he has been there for a year and a half, and he came back once during the Chinese New Year last year. Seeing Du Zhiyi again after a year, Du Xiaoxi directly slapped his brother's face.

Du Xiaoxi lay softly in his brother's arms, listening to the second brother talk about repairing the waterway.

"It's not a heavy job, we just have to throw the stones in the water into the boat and get them to the shore, and the stones are the business of the soldiers. As long as we load two boats a day, we can pay more, and I can dig seven or eight boats a day, twenty wen a boat, and earn more than the shop at home at the end of the day. We've all discussed it, and we'll go back after the New Year! ”

"Eat like that, if you want to eat meat, we will catch rabbits and pheasants and roast them ourselves, and we can also let the firehead soldiers help make them, but they have to deduct some, or make it cost-effective." Mother, bring me more spices this time! ……”

Du Zhiyi chattered about his daily life on the construction site, and everyone sighed together, fortunately, they were not so tired.

Emperor Jiayuan was not yet forty years old, it was the golden period of the emperor's career, and Emperor Jiayuan was happier than anyone else to be able to build a mountain waterway comparable to the North-South Grand Canal during his reign.

Emperor Jiayuan is a good emperor, he doesn't want to stand out from the good things of the emperors, because he oppressed the people too hard, and was complained about by later generations. Those who were involved in the construction of the waterways were given silver as long as they did it quickly. As for the food, it can't be the Chen Mi Mildew Rice eliminated from the various prefectures, in addition to the villagers from the Ten Miles and Eight Townships who come to work, there are also prepared military households, you eat Chen Mi Mildew for the soldiers and brothers who defend the country, is it because the suspects will live on your land in the future and not make it difficult for you?

In short, Du Zhiyi took a big advantage.
