61_61522 Mei Ying and Chen Wenlin went to Bai's upper room together and offered tea to both Bai and Chen Yuanheng. As a bride, Mei Ying gave her handmade clothes, shoes and socks. also gave Chen Yuanheng the robe she made herself. However, Bai and Chen Yuanheng both had a faint expression and didn't look at those things. Instead, he immediately called someone to bring over a tray, which contained a gift for Mei Ying.

Bai gave Mei Ying and Chen Wenlin a big red envelope each, and gave Mei Ying two more sets of head noodles, one is red gold, and the other is red gold inlaid with treasures, both of which are very beautiful and heavy. Chen Yuanheng gave each of them a red envelope.

After giving, Bai and Chen Yuanheng said a paragraph respectively and encouraged them.

The population of Xiao Chen's family is simple, Chen Wenjun's family is on Yizhou Island, and Chen Wenhui is on Luzon Island, so this tea ceremony soon ended $wan$ book$ ロba, a≠nshub⊕a. Bai said: "You take a rest, we will go back to the mansion in a while, and we will serve tea to the elders." Mei Ying, you have prepared gifts for them, right? ”

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "It's all ready." For my grandmother, I made my own underwear, shoes and socks, as well as a gown and skirt that I made myself. For my grandfather were shoes and socks and robes that I made myself. For the big room, the people in the second room are also men in robes and women in skirts. ”

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Mei Ying, what did you just say?" ”

Mei Ying was nervous, could it be that she didn't prepare well, and hurriedly asked, "But is there anything wrong?" Please let my mother show me, so I can change it quickly. ”

Bai asked, "You mean, you made these things yourself?" ”

Mei Ying said, "Yes, this bride gives gifts. Don't you have to do it yourself? ”

In order to catch up with the dowry, Mei Ying worked day and night for most of the year.

Bai Shi was distressed and said, "This gift to me and your father was also made by you?" ”

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "Yes, it's just that the daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is mediocre, please don't dislike my father and mother." ”

Bai and Chen Yuanheng unanimously called the maid with the tray to come over and took the clothes, shoes and socks given by Mei Ying with their own hands. Bai and Chen Yuanheng's eyes are so vicious, they can see at a glance that the craftsmanship of the second son and daughter-in-law is good, the stitches are so smooth, and the embroidery is so exquisite. Bai Shi was very moved and said, "Child, you are working too hard. If you do too much of this work, you will hurt your eyes. Don't do more in the future. There are a lot of needlework people in the house. However, you are really good at this job, you look at the shoes, the pattern. Match colors. The needlework and thread are top-notch. It's really hard to figure it out for you. Red carp. You have to keep it safe. Wait until my birthday to wear it. ”

Mei Ying hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is very ordinary, if my mother doesn't dislike it." When it's your mother's birthday, your daughter-in-law will make it for you. ”

Bai Shi took Mei Ying's little hand and said, "Good boy, don't do it for me again." With such a pair of Qianqian jade hands, she makes needlework for me every day, if it is a little rougher, Lin'er will be unhappy. ”

Mei Ying blushed all of a sudden.

Bai smiled and said, "You are really a solid child. Although the first time I gave tea to my in-laws and elders, I had to give clothes and gifts. But most of them are done by needle and thread people. Where is there such a hand-made thing like yours. Just do it for me and your father, but for so many people in the mansion. It's hard for you. In the future, give them no need. By the way, we don't need to use it either. You can help Wen Lin take care of all the affairs, and you can spread the branches and leaves of the Chen family in the future. ”

Mei Ying's face turned even redder.

Bai said: "Actually, even your sister-in-law is not good at needlework, and when she gave us tea, those gifts were bought. Don't say your sister-in-law, it's the daughter I raised with my own hands, outsiders say that she is extremely smart, Hui Zhenlanxin, is the smartest and richest girl in Da Chu, in fact, she can't even embroider a purse, I'm afraid she can't even embroider her own name. ”

Mei Ying's eyes widened.

Bai's eyes rolled, and he said proudly: "Since you have worked hard to make it, you naturally want to dedicate it to them." My daughter-in-law is naturally the best. Their daughters-in-law are of noble birth and have official families, but which one has this craft and this mood? ”

Chen Wenlin said at this time: "No, I just said, where is she like this, she embroidered it by herself?" Not only did they let the needlemen make it, but they didn't even bother to ask what the tricks were. ”

Mei Ying couldn't help but be stunned.

Bai said: "Our family is very strange, a big family, there are many things, you will get used to it in the future." You go and change your outfit now. When I asked you to prepare the dowry, you prepared some extra clothes, did you do so? ”

Mei Ying said: "Although the daughter-in-law felt that it was a bit extravagant, she still obeyed her mother's orders. Made a lot of clothes. ”

Bai nodded and said, "You go back and change to a more gorgeous set." Bring four more sets over, there are many rules on our side of the mansion. You have to keep changing your clothes, one set of clothes for tea, one set of clothes for dinner, and another dress when you go home. As for the place to change clothes, you don't have to worry, we were originally the third room in that house, and our small courtyard is still there. ”

Where did Mei Ying know this rule, and she couldn't help but feel that the family was too extravagant. But following the local customs, it can only be like this, fortunately, there are enough clothes made at the beginning.

In this way, Mei Ying followed Chen Wenlin back to her yard to prepare.

Chen Wenlin himself was ready, came to help Mei Ying's preparation, and said: "Mother said that if you want to prepare clothes, you also need to prepare a few more sets of head and face jewelry, and different clothes should be matched with different jewelry. Also, prepare more red envelopes and gold and silver nudes, as well as some small jewelry, for the servants and the big maids with heads and faces. ”

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "Wen Hui has already prepared these things for me at the beginning, so I just need to find them out." ”

Chen Wenlin couldn't help but say: "Well, my sister is still thoughtful." By the way, have you seen the red envelopes that our parents gave us? ”

Mei Ying smiled and said, "Where is the kung fu to watch?" ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Then now while the maids are preparing things, you can take them out and take a look." ”

Mei Ying thought about it, so she took it out, first Chen Yuanheng's red envelope, in fact, it was very light, Mei Ying was a little strange, opened it and looked at it, and was stunned, inside was a silver ticket with a denomination of 20,000 taels. Of course, it was Chen Wenhui's bank.

Mei Ying didn't react for a while.

Chen Wenlin said: "There is also a mother's red envelope, open it too." ”

Mei Ying opened the red envelope given by Bai Shi with some trembling. The red envelope was also light and fluttering, with no weight at all, and when I opened it, sure enough, it was also a silver ticket of 20,000 taels.

Mei Ying asked, "You already knew, right?" Are those two red envelopes of yours the same? ”

Chen Wenlin stretched out his hand and took out a silver ticket from his arms, handed it to Mei Ying and said, "I'm actually not used to managing money. In the future, all the money in the family will be handed over to you to take care of. My father didn't care about this, he gave it to his mother. The eldest brother doesn't care about these, he gives them to the sister-in-law. However, the men of our Chen family are used to reaching out to their wives to ask for money, and they are not embarrassed at all. Hee-hee-hee. ”

Mei Ying looked at Chen Wenlin's hippie smiling face, took the silver ticket and looked at it, sure enough, it was also two silver tickets of 20,000 taels.

Mei Ying said: "It's just a greeting gift, and my mother gave me such a valuable face." That set of red gold is just enough, but it is full of weight, there are many things, and there is everything in the hairpin. But that set of treasures is very valuable, and the gems on it are all the size of a fingernail, and they are dazzling. I see that the two sets of jewelry alone can cost 5,000 taels of silver. Where else can I collect so many silver tickets? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Gold, silver and jewelry are nothing, our family found gold mines in Luzon, and Nanyang was originally a place to produce gemstones, and in our family's maritime trade business, those gems were bought in boxes." You'll know later that these things are just novelties, like clothes. Later, it will be used for reward. As for the silver ticket, it is more practical and can do a lot of things. In fact, the silver ticket is nothing, our family not only has a lot of business, but also a lot of money-making business, and now we have subdued the Japanese country, and we have also got the silver mine of the Japanese country, so what do you say is this 80,000 taels of silver? It can only be spent as pocket money. ”

Mei Ying already knew that she was married to a wealthy family, but the wealthy family was so luxurious, which was really amazing.

Chen Wenlin said: "However, you have to be mentally prepared for a while. When we go to the mansion in a while, you don't expect the people in the mansion to give us many good things, but on the contrary, you have to pay the capital, or you will not hesitate to give them a lot of rewards, especially those shallow-eyed servants, and you must reward them with enough money. Actually, let me tell you. When we went back to Luzon, our parents really gave us the money they wanted to give us for the start-up. It's kind of buying us a small home. Back then, when our family was not rich today, the eldest brother got married and gave the eldest brother 100,000 taels of silver. I guess the parents must give no less than the eldest brother. ’

Mei Ying felt that she had become numb. 100,000 taels of silver, I have never seen so much money in my life. At the beginning, when her mother-in-law gave herself 50,000 taels of silver to buy a dowry, she felt very extravagant. How do you know, these 50,000 taels are really nothing in the Chen family, haven't you seen it? People give money for the meeting, and it is easily 80,000 taels of silver. At the beginning, when the family was just a Huzhou thorn history, he gave his eldest son a family and the cost of starting a business was 100,000 taels of silver. What now? Not to mention too much, even if it is 100,000 taels of silver, then in this small family, there will be 180,000 taels of silver. Oh my God, how many lifetimes will it take? (To be continued......).
