Mei Hanlin also continued: "In addition to these, I will tell you another news, originally I wanted to tell you in a few days, but it doesn't matter if I said it today, now there are a few vacancies in the household department, and the top told me that one of the vacancies has been assigned to me, and I will be appointed after about a month." ”

Mrs. Mei immediately asked: "The household department is a good place, in charge of money and food, such a good place, how can we get a shortage?" Is the lord flat or promoted? ”

Mei Hanlin said: "Not only was he promoted, but he also gave birth to a two-level official, and he directly skipped from the fifth rank and became an official of the fifth grade." Your title has also been changed, and you are a widow above the fifth grade. ”

Mrs. Mei was happy and said: "Master, after so many years, we have boiled oil to the sixth grade, I don't dare to think about your promotion, I didn't expect that now I have been promoted by two levels, it is the fifth grade." ”

Mei Hanlin said: "Yes, your status has been improved, my official position has been improved, the family's financial problems have been solved, and the children's future problems have been solved. ”

Mrs. May immediately thought, yes, whose blessings are these things to us. Mrs. Mei was a little embarrassed and said, "It's all thanks to the blessing of the eldest girl." I was wrong before, and I will treat the big girl well in the future. I'll give all the things I treasure to the eldest girl as a dowry. ”

"You just have to know your mistakes," Mehrin said. In the future, Mei Ying will be better, she will not be able to live at home for a few days. As for your stuff, keep it. She will be the richest family in Da Chu in the future, can she still have something? In the future, she will be Mrs. Yipin, the wife of the city lord, rich in a city, and rich in children and grandchildren. What else do you use us? It is the dowry, with those precious things given by the Chen family, and the 50,000 taels of silver given by Mrs. Chen. The step-ancestors and their husbands and wives are all capable, and seeing that half of the dowry has been prepared, I went over to take a look a few days ago, and they are all rare boutiques. This time Mei Ying got married, and our Mei family can also be beautiful. It must be ten miles of red makeup. Now do the math. When the time comes, a dowry of one hundred and twenty lifts should be there. ”

Mrs. May then remembered that there was too much good news just now. She didn't pay attention to what her husband said at the beginning, Mrs. Chen gave 50,000 taels of silver as a dowry. fifty thousand taels of silver, and things. There is also a house, which is more than when she got married. The dowry is much more.

Mrs. Mei couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Chen is really generous. For the first time, I heard that my mother-in-law bought a dowry for her daughter-in-law. not only bought a dowry for his daughter-in-law, but also gave our family such a rich dowry, and made it clear that he wanted us to stay. These dowries are enough to eat for several lifetimes. I'm ashamed to think about it. “

Mei Hanlin was very satisfied and said, "Madam, no one is at fault. If you change it, it will be good. Now Mrs. Chen already knows how generous she is grateful for. That's it. I hope that Madame will not be confused again in the future. Take good care of Mei Ying's marriage, get closer to Mei Ying more, and you may have to get along with Mrs. Chen more in the future, you must be respectful, and you must obey. In this way, there will be greater benefits waiting for our family in the future. ”

Mrs. Mei's mind was a little overwhelmed, and she said, "This dowry has already been given so much, what greater benefits can be given." Ao, by the way, judging from the power of the Chen family, there should be no problem in promoting the master. ”

Mei Hanlin said: "With the Chen family as a backer, my future career will be very smooth." However, I also have to work harder in the yamen, and I can't wait to die like before. Anyway, you can't smear your in-laws' faces. Also, to earn a future for the children. Except for my career. Judging from the way of money, there are a lot. Don't say anything else. We have officially become in-laws, we have many children in our family, and each child is married, can the Chen family not care? With the wealth of the Chen family and Mrs. Chen's generosity, the little leakage in her hands will be enough for our children in the future. ”

Mrs. Mei's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, in the future, my two daughters will be married, Mrs. Chen is our in-law, and she will definitely come to add makeup, and there will be less things, you see, this is the marriage, the eldest girl has not yet married, and Mrs. Mei will send things over every once in a while, not pastries, fruits, or jewelry for the eldest girl." Among them, jewelry, head face, beads, palace flowers and satin, every time they are given to the eldest girl, there are several of our other daughters. Even the two who came out of the house had it. It's only been a few months, and our family Fen'er has already saved up a clip of good things. In the future, if they become in-laws, when Fen'er and they get married, they will not be allowed to give a big gift. I'm afraid that the gift is enough to be a decent dowry. ”

Mei Hanlin smiled and said, "If you are smart, you will walk around with Mrs. Chen more in the future." These gold beads and other things are nothing to her, you go around more, and the children are closer to Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen will reward more when she is happy. Maybe the Fen'er will be able to save a good dowry on their own. ”

Mei Hanlin was originally joking, but who knew that it would be the case in the future, and later Mei Ying went to Nanyang after marrying Chen Wenlin, and Mrs. Mei often took her daughters to visit the Bai family. There is no shortage of people around the Bai family who are prosperous and wealthy, and they are sycophants, but there is really a lack of children. The children are all overseas, even the grandchildren, and the granddaughters are also overseas, so it is naturally rare to have children. Mei Fen is also more likable and can get close to the Bai family, and the Bai family naturally teaches her often. Mei Fen was originally smart, but she didn't learn anything good from her ignorant mother. Later, the situation at home improved, his horizons were opened, and he was carefully trained by the Bai family, so he naturally changed his previous bad problems and became a real lady, even more like Bai's child than Chen Wenhui. Naturally, Mei Fen often gets good things from Bai's family, from head and face jewelry, to clothes and fabrics, to toys, treasures, furnishings, etc., and when it comes to getting married, she really praises a large dowry. Mei Hanlin was taken aback, he didn't expect that a joke at the beginning would later become true. In addition to the dowry praised by Mei Fen herself, because of her relationship with her, the Bai family also gave a very thick makeup gift, among which there was a small mansion, which was worth more than 10,000 taels of silver. There is also Mei Ying, who is far away in Tianshui City, who also gave her sister a dowry object worth 5,000 taels of silver. Therefore, although Mei Fen did not have ten miles of red makeup when she got married, she was also the number one in the capital and had a rich dowry. In addition to Mei Fen, Mei Hanlin's sons and daughters, each of whom got married, Bai and Mei Ying all sent very generous gifts. Normally, Mei Ying gave each younger brother and sister an object of three thousand taels of silver, and a silver ticket of two thousand taels of silver. It was especially rich for the two younger brothers of the same mother, and each was twenty thousand taels of silver. Of these, 10,000 taels are things, and 10,000 taels are silver tickets. Mrs. Chen gave each child 2,000 taels, of which 1,000 taels were things and 1,000 taels were silver tickets. Among them, in addition to Mei Fen's more, there are also two younger brothers of Mei Ying's mother's compatriots, each of whom is 10,000 taels, 5,000 taels of things, and 5,000 taels of silver tickets. With these things and silver tickets, Mei Hanlin and his wife did not prepare for their children at all, and they were able to get married very decently. What's more, since Mei Ying got married, Mei Hanlin's official position has become bigger and bigger, his family's income has increased, and his income has increased. After Mei Ying got married, although Mrs. Mei was not good at housekeeping, Mei Fen quickly took over the affairs of the family under the training of the Bai family, managed it well, the family's industry became more and more prosperous, and the accumulated money also increased, and the dowry and dowry for her children naturally increased. Therefore, Mei Hanlin never worried about the marriage of his children. Of course, that's a story for later.

Now Mrs. Mei heard her husband's kind words and exhortations: "I understand what the master said, and I will never be left in the future." You must listen to the old man's words, manage this family well, teach your children well, treat Mei Ying well, and follow Mrs. Chen well. ”

Mei Hanlin nodded with satisfaction, reached out and took out a small clip, opened it and saw that inside was the silver ticket and the deed of the house and the world of the dowry. Mei Hanlin said: "These things will be handed over to Madame's control. Madame according to what I said before, hurry up and buy the house first, and then talk about it, after buying it, it will be expanded, and the project will be important, so that when Mei Ying gets married, there will be no place to stand like today, when the guests come. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Mei asked: "A few days, so busy, thanks to Mrs. Chen's good calculation, she sent the guests to Qinghe Building to entertain." I don't know, how much did we spend today? The banquet in Qinghelou is notoriously expensive. ”

Mei Hanlin glared at Mrs. Mei and said, "I'm making a mistake again." Who owns Qinghe Building? It's the Chen family. Mrs. Chen asked Qinghe Building to close for a day, specially for our family to entertain guests, this whole day of flowing water table down, do you know how much it cost? The banquet alone opened more than 50 tables. And that's not even counting what the servants eat, plus the servants had more than a hundred tables. But Mrs. Chen only collected ten taels of silver from our family. ”

Mrs. May's eyes widened and she said, "Ten taels of silver?" ”

Mei Hanlin said: "Ten taels of silver is still because the rules say that we should get this out, or we don't want a penny." ”

Mrs. Mei couldn't help but sigh: "Mrs. Chen really makes me admire." ”

"Today we are entertaining so many guests, but basically we don't spend any money," said Me. However, none of the guests came empty-handed. They all brought gifts and sent gift money. I've already let the bookkeeper and my step-grandparents watch and get it. It will be summarized in two days and handed over to you, which is a lot of money. As for the things, let Zhuo Shi and the others help you put them in the warehouse. She's a good at that. In the future, we will also return these things to others, after all, we will come and go, people send things when we are happy, and we will also give things to people when they are happy in the future.
