In this way, the most important thing in Hu Chun'er's dowry is the deed of 500 acres of fruit forest. It's a lucrative dowry.

For his wife who is so good at living, so good at investing, and such a rich dowry purchased by his wife's family, Lu Feng was overjoyed, and naturally cherished his wife even more.

After marriage, the life of the two people is very affectionate, and the small yard of their two entrances is neatly tied, and Lu Fengcai bought a little maid for his wife to take care of his wife's life. I also hired two mothers-in-law, one is a rough mother-in-law, who is responsible for cleaning the yard and washing the pulp, and the other is a cook, who is responsible for cooking and buying vegetables. Lu Fengcai originally had two small servants, and it had been two years. is very loyal, one is responsible for the affairs of the house, such as managing Lu Fengcai's rented yard to collect rent, as well as the fields outside the city to be tenanted out, and the mountains and forests where Hu Chun'er is married. He also took charge of the servants in the house. The other is responsible for following Lu Fengcai to the yamen every day.

In this way, Hu Chun'er's married life is more comfortable than when she was in her parents' house before marriage. She went to the workshop every day, and when she returned to her home after work, someone had already prepared a meal, and she and her husband ate together. Listen to what your husband has to say. Or teach a few little girls needlework.

Lu Fengcai also has a social circle, and often takes his wife to some banquets. At the beginning, Lu Fengcai was still a little worried, after all, Hu Chun'er was just an ordinary citizen, and he didn't know if he could deal with these family members in the officialdom. Fortunately, Lu Fengcai's official position is very small, just an official from the seventh grade, and he is in contact with the circle of lower-level officials.

Most of the officials in this circle, especially those in the northwest, are illiterate. or a person with shallow knowledge, the clothes naturally cannot be compared with those in Chen Wenhui's mansion, but they are also better than ordinary families.

What surprised Lu Fengcai was that Hu Chun'er attended these banquets, she was not stage frightened at all, she was generous, and Hu Chun'er's clothes were usually home-style clothes, mainly comfortable. Even when they go to work, they wear uniforms issued by the workshop. Only when attending banquets. will wear those beautiful clothes in the dowry.

Hu Chun'er has an outstanding temperament, a young and beautiful appearance, full of youthful atmosphere, and gorgeous clothes. Exquisite workmanship. All of a sudden, he stood out in the circle of ladies.

Plus. Hu Chun'er has something to say, not only can read and hyphenation, but also can write some simple poems. also drew a good hand, and as for topics such as needlework and female redness that women are keen on, they are even more of a leader.

These made Hu Chun'er suddenly a limelight figure in the circle of lower-class ladies, adding a lot to Lu Fengcai. This really surprised Lu Fengcai, and he cherished Hu Chun'er even more.

When the two of them have nothing to do, they often go to Hu's house as guests, so Hu Chun'er will not miss her mother's family like ordinary girls when they get married. The Hu family was very happy to see that Lu Fengcai was close to the Hu family, and they were so good to Hu Chun'er.

Not long after Lu Feng got married, Shui Han and Lian Jiayue also got married. Shui Han's marriage was very grand, and everyone in the mansion was celebrating Shui Han, and Chen Wenhui also generously rewarded the entire mansion, and everyone was paid double salary.

So the whole mansion was lively.

Shui Han's dowry is very simple, it's really symbolic to get a few clothes. Most of the things, such as the furniture, which are soft and soft, have been put into their own small yard. However, everyone knows in their hearts that this is a low-key water cold, as Chen Wenhui's personal maid, how can there be less net worth.

After Shui Han got married, he did not stay at home, but immediately went to work and continued to work for Chen Wenhui. It's just that now the four of Shui Han are not paid by first-class maids, they are all paid by stewards, one hundred taels of silver per month.

Lian Jiayue was also reused, and his original boss was transferred to Shanhai City as a financial officer, so that the position of the chief manager of the county lord's mansion was given to Lian Jiayue. It is also a monthly money of one hundred taels of silver a month.

Therefore, Shui Han's family is very wealthy. After getting married, even Jiayue will know that Shui Han is really low-key. Although he only took out more than 2,000 taels of silver last time, in fact, that was not all of Shui Han's net worth. Most of the things in the water cold are some jewelry, many, many clothes, all of which are gorgeous and fine clothes. There are also some precious items.

For example, there are several sides of the high-grade inkstone, as well as a few ancient calligraphy and paintings, as well as a few bronze antique incense burners, in addition to two green jade ornaments, one jade ornament, two coral ornaments, and the rest of the gold plates, silver pinchs, agate plates, and even more complete sets. There are also high-quality porcelain vases, fangzun, and flower sacs, and there are also five or six.

In addition, there was a lot of clothing, and the fingers of the ten large crates could not be inserted.

It is estimated that if it is made into clothes, it will not be worn for a lifetime.

Although Lian Jiayue was not very interested in women's jewelry, he was also very surprised that Shui Han had so many jewelry, which was exquisite and precious. There are three jewelry boxes in three feet square, and there are three in total. It's full of cold water, and it's all about ordinary jewelry. Mostly some red gold, sterling silver jewelry, silver naked, gold naked. There's also a smaller jewelry box, which is the real gem. There is a big thumb, round pearl necklace, a jade hairpin, and the water head is extremely good. There are also four pairs of ice jade bracelets, tortoiseshell hairpins, coral hairpins, gemstone hairpins, a dazzling array of twenty-seven pieces in total, each piece is a treasure, can be regarded as an heirloom.

Lian Jiayue is a bookkeeper, and he deals with money all day long, and he roughly estimated the price of these jewelry in his heart, and he had to take 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver to get it.

If you add those calligraphy and paintings, antiques, ornaments, and clothing. may have a net worth of fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver. Lian Jiayue couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

When I look at these things, it is at night, and the two of them put on the abacus and calculate the things at home.

Shui Han smiled when he saw Lian Jiayue's surprised appearance and said, "You have a small account room, you can't even see the county lord's face when you are idle, and you can still accumulate five hundred taels of silver in just a few years." I've been serving by the county lord's side for so many years, how can I not even have these savings? ”

Even Jiayue thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "The county lord is worthy of being the richest person in the world, just look at your net worth." ”

Shui Han smiled and said, "What am I?" Among the four of us, the most wealthy and the most favored is Sister Shuilian. However, even Sister Shuilian can't be compared with the four sisters of Qiubi and the four sisters of Yujin. Sister Qiubi and Wan Shuhui can't be compared. ”

Lian Jiayue nodded and said, "I know, some people say that Wan Shuhui may be richer than the entire Wanjia family back then." ”

Shui Han smiled and said: "It's not possible, it's that Wan Shuhui is more than twice as rich as the entire Wanjia back then." This is my private conservative estimate. ”

Lian Jiayue was dumbfounded.

Shui Han said: "It's good that you know this." In the future, you can find an opportunity to ask someone to sell these things of mine slowly, those treasures are priceless, I don't want to sell them, but the small jewelry in those three boxes can be disposed of. I calculated, how can it be worth five or six thousand taels of silver. When the time comes, we will take the five or six thousand taels of silver out to buy property, whether it is to buy land or shops. I am very optimistic about the development of Tiebiguan. Let me tell you. Back then, the real estate in Deqing City was very cheap, and after our Xiao Chen family operated it for a few years, when we left, the real estate we bought and the land were sold and we doubled our earnings. We are iron-walled, I have seen it, although the current price is a bit high, but we bought it, and when we left in seven or eight years, when we left, how could we sell it at double the price. Didn't you make it? It's a little longer than the money in the bank. ”

Lian Jiayue nodded again and again, and said, "This matter is the most appropriate to find Lu Fengcai." Although he is now a petty official, he has a lot of contacts in the bank and knows a lot of merchants, so it is easy for us to do this. ”

Shui Han nodded and said, "The county lord will reuse you and hand over all the accounts in the mansion to you." Because the chief manager of the accounting office was recommended by the county lord to go to Shanhai City to serve as a financial officer, you have become the chief manager of the accounting office, and the monthly money is the same as mine. However, there is also a lot of responsibility. In the future, we will devote ourselves to the county hosts, and where we have the time to manage these industrial affairs, it is better to entrust them to Lu Fengcai. How about selling these things, as well as buying properties, to him? ”

Even Jiayue thought about it and nodded again and again.

Suddenly, Lian Jiayue thought of something and asked Shui Han: "Your parents are still on an errand in Xiao Chen's house, right?" Didn't you make up for them before? Didn't you redeem them as slaves? ”

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Shui Han's face sank and said, "As a family, we are different from good citizens like you. We were born slaves from childhood, that is, we were to be slaves and maidservants in the master's house. My parents are all called Niang Laozi. They are also all born in the family, and they are okay in the house. You know, Mrs. Bai of the Xiao Chen family is also very good to her subordinates. ”

"Later, we were selected to enter the mansion, and after many years of training, I was fortunate enough to be chosen by Madame Bai to be the girl's personal maid. At this moment, they have gained face in the house, and they have also mixed up with the position of steward, eating and drinking spicy food every month, and being flattered when they go out. Haven't you heard of the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister? The power of our Xiao Chen family, is that what the prime minister can compare? So, they didn't want me to ransom them. After the redemption came out, they were not the stewards of the Xiao Chen family, but a flat-headed common man, and any one person could pinch them to death. Why did they come out? ”

"Besides, in terms of money, why do you think I only have more than two thousand taels of silver? It's all given to them. They are not satisfied, and they even want to meddle in my marriage. You want to marry me to the son of the steward of the Chen family's mansion. It's really confusing. I'm a dowry maid, can they decide the marriage? This is all a ploy by Mrs. Li on the other side of the mansion, in order to deal with the county lord. It's a pity that they are being used and don't know it. (To be continued......)
