The two of them did needlework for a while, and someone came in from outside to report that the purchased leather had been delivered. Lian Man'er asked someone to bring in bundles of skins, and the two of them didn't do needlework, so they took a few girls close to them to inspect and pick one by one.

There are shops in the city that specialize in selling all kinds of skins, but even the Man'er family asked for a lot this time, and they wanted the best, so they didn't buy it in the shop, but specially sent people to search everywhere. A total of more than 100 pieces of fine fur were found, including golden rats, silver rats, sables, white foxes, and red foxes, all of which were the thickest autumn slabs, and there was not the slightest variety.

Such a leather is naturally worth a lot of money, even in the shops of Fucheng, I can't pick out a few pieces. Marriage between a man and a woman is a top priority in life, and even more so in this day and age. People with strength are eager to prepare all the things they will use for the rest of their lives in one go.

Not to mention the other things bought, but these skins are really almost enough to even use the vines for a lifetime.

There were more than 100 pieces of skin, and in the end, the Zhang family picked a hundred, all of which were carefully wrapped, ready to be given to Lian Man'er as a dowry.

"We don't use these, bring them to you, and in the future, you can live by yourself, buy one or two pieces a year, and it is enough to use the old ones, and you don't have to open your mouth and reach out to others." Zhang told Lian Man'er. It can be seen from the time Lian Zhi'er got married that the Zhang family was very generous and unwilling to spare the dowry for his daughter. This is also a tradition of the Zhang family.

"There's no need for that." Lian Man'er smiled, "This fur garment is not like anything else, it is added every year." ”

"The average person can wear one piece for five or six years, ten years. But the Shen family is not an ordinary family. Zhang said, "In the past few years, I have also paid attention. Don't look at others, just look at Grandma Shen San, the big sweater every year has a new one. ”

Lian Man'er was a little moved in her heart, Zhang was not shrewd, but it was rare that he was willing to pay attention to this, and he really thought about her. And Grandma Shen San can indeed be regarded as a first-class rich woman in the city.

"Mother, I don't compare this." Lian Man'er laughed.

"It's not a comparison, and it can't make you worse than others." Zhang said. "This, I have already discussed it with your father and your brother. …… I know that in the future, when you live a life, the sixth master will definitely not be able to treat you badly. The sixth master, that's the sixth master's. What we give is what we give. …… Now it's not the past, if it was in the past, our family didn't think about it, but now that we have it, we will prepare it for you, and you will take it all. You have a lot of things in your hands, no matter when the time comes. You're not panicking. ”

"Hmm." Lian Man'er nodded, Zhang said this, if she wants to push again, it will be empty.

And. I have to admit that Zhang's words can be regarded as wise words. Especially in this era, the dowry is a woman's decency. And, starting with the dowry. It is only when a woman truly has the protection of the law, recognized by the world, in her own name. Property entirely at her own disposal.

Even if her family doesn't give her Zhang Luo, even Man'er herself wants Zhang Luo, this is an opportunity to own her own property in an open and honest manner.

One hundred pieces of leather were kept for Lian Man'er to use at the bottom of the box, and the other dozens of skins were left outside, which was to make clothes for Lian Man'er.

"Mother, it really doesn't take so much." Lian Man'er said again, "Look at me, I guess I can grow more." Now they are all made clothes, and they can't be worn for two years, and it will be a waste when the time comes. ”

"Well, I won't do more for you, just follow the rules of the city and let it go." Zhang thought that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "I have to make two more pieces for your brother, your father and Xiao Qi also add two pieces each, and keep the rest, and then give one more to your sister and your brother-in-law......

After a while, Zhang and Lian Man'er put together hundreds of high-quality furs.

In addition to these high-quality skins, the people who sent out this time came to buy a lot of medium and inferior skins. These skins, the two of them didn't check them one by one, and only sent the girl to check the points.

"I'll give you half of those ones too, and keep you to make clothes for the girls in the future, and reward people." Zhang told Lian Man'er.

After a busy morning, at ten o'clock at noon, even Shouxin and Wulang sent people back, one said that he would stay in the Zhuangzi to eat, and the other said that he was left behind by Shen Sanye. Therefore, only Zhang and Lian Man'er ate lunch.

After the nap, another familiar female family member came to visit, and even Man'er came to talk with her. After sending off the visiting female dependents, the lady in charge came over.

was busy until the evening, and even Shouxin, Gorou and Xiaoqi came back, and the family had dinner together. After dinner, the family sits together to drink tea and chat.

Wulang told Lian Man'er that the things he gave to Shen Yi and Shen Shi had been sent.

“…… The ninth girl seems to have a cold, and she has been at home for the past few days and has not gone out. Gorou said to Lian Man'er again, "I asked people to send things in, and they sent people out to ask when you were free." ”

"Nine girls are sick? Seriously not? Otherwise, I'll go over tomorrow and have a look. Lian Man'er said busily, she planned to go to Shen's house in two days, and now that she heard that Shen Yi was sick, she thought that she should go over to see it earlier.

"It shouldn't be too serious." Gorou said, "I heard that I was taking medicine, and I didn't see anyone for the past few days because I was afraid of passing it on to others." Man'er, if you go, don't go next year, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. ”

Most of the girls in large families are delicate, and things like colds are very common in the villager's house, just drink one or two bowls of hot ginger soup and cover the quilt to sweat. But in a big family, you have to ask Lang Zhong to take medicine.

Of course, this attitude of importance is not entirely wrong. After all, if a cold is not treated in time, it can become typhoid fever when it worsens. In this era, it is not without people who have lost their lives because of typhoid fever or have fallen into the root of a lifelong disease.

In addition, the cold is also considered a current disease and is considered contagious.

"In that case, Xiao Qi. You go over and help me inquire every day, and when the ninth girl can see someone, you tell me, and I'll go over to see her. Lian Man'er told Xiao Qidao.

"Okay." Xiao Qi nodded in agreement.

“…… What homework did you learn today, did you see Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu is okay. The family continued to chatter, and Lian Man'er asked Xiao Qidao.

“…… I just came back, and Mr. Chu didn't teach new homework today, but just warmed up a few chapters of books. Xiao Qi told Lian Man'er. I saw Brother Xiaojiu, Brother Xiaojiu is very good. The little ninth brother also asked his sister to come, and also asked his father and mother how they were. Brother Xiao Jiu said that he would come to our house in two days. ”

Hearing Xiao Qi say this, even Shouxin and Zhang were very happy.

"That child, don't look at the age that is getting older day by day. It's still the same as when I was a child, I don't have a shelf, and I kiss people. Zhang smiled.

"That is, with us," Xiao Qi smiled, "With others, Xiao Jiu also has a shelf." ”

"Brother, are you free tomorrow?" Lian Man'er asked Gorou again.

"Something?" Gorou asked.

"Hmm." Lian Man'er nodded, "My mother said that I would add you two more big sweaters, and tomorrow the people from the tailor shop and the embroidery village will come, and they will just measure the size." I set the cloth shape, too. ”

"Let's get down tomorrow, I have to go to the academy in the morning." Gorou said, "I made an appointment for a table of wine at noon." ”

"Then it's down, Xiao Qi. Tell Mr. Chu when the time comes, come back half an hour early. Zhang said. He said to Lian Shouxin, "And you, let's all borrow light and do it again." There are a lot of things going on this year. ”

"Okay." Even Shouxin and Xiao Qi nodded.

"Brother, are you invited in our restaurant, or are you invited to come to your home?" Lian Man'er asked about Gorou again and said that he had made an appointment with someone to eat and drink.

"You don't need to be at home, I'll make an appointment in Shunde Fang." Gorou said.

"That's fine." Lian Man'er nodded, "You ask Xiao Jiu when he will come, say hello to the store in advance, and ask them to prepare a fat duck." ”

Now this season, it is suitable for eating roast duck, and Shen Xiaopang also happens to love it.

"Hmm." Xiao Qi smiled and nodded.

The family talked and laughed, and when they had eaten, they dispersed. Wulang and Xiaoqi were going to the study to read at night, Zhang and Lian Man'er were going to take the girls to do needlework, and only Lian Shouxin was idle at this time.

"I'm going to see the nights everywhere." Lian Shouxin is a diligent person who can't be idle, so he put on a big coat and got up. Before evening, Lian Shouxin would personally inspect all places, and would also go to the cross-courtyard stables to personally take care of the horses at home. It wasn't until the children had slept that he and Zhang would rest in peace.

Gorou and Xiaoqi will read the night book until the time of Haizheng, but Lian Man'er, every day with a few girls to do needlework, and then read a few pages of books or account books, at the beginning of the year to rest, the earliest in the family to sleep.

For a few days, even Man'er didn't go out, every day was to deal with some housework, and then to do needlework with Zhang. On this day, because I heard that Shen Yi's body was better and he could get up to meet people, Lian Man'er freshened up and had breakfast in the morning, and told Zhang that he was going to Shen's house.

"Go ahead, say hello to me when you get there, I'm too busy at home to leave." Zhang said, "You are bored at home these days, and you should go out for a walk." If you don't come back for dinner, send someone back to talk to me. ”

"Hey." Lian Man'er agreed with a smile, brought a few close girls, picked two pots of flowers from the garden conservatory, and came out to the second gate to take the car.

Lian Man'er went out, in addition to the girl who was waiting closely, there were also four rough mothers-in-law, and there were also stewards who brought a number of small servants to follow them back and forth, came out of the gate, and went straight to the Shen Mansion.

At the mouth of Songshu Hutong, there is a tea stall, where you can buy some hot tea and hot noodles all year round. Lian Man'er's sedan car stepped out of the pine alley, and a man dressed as a merchant got up and left at the tea stall, turned the corner, got on a healthy mule, and galloped towards a mansion in the west of the city.
