Chapter 222: Buying Gifts
It's not that Rongxue doesn't want to get married, but, her identity, is her experience suitable for marrying? She said that she was an ordinary peasant girl, with no net worth, her parents were gone, she didn't have a strong mother's family, and she didn't even know how much the dowry could be.
Not to mention this, it would be good if she stayed in the countryside like ordinary peasant girls when she was a child, working, doing housework, making crops, and taking care of her younger siblings. In this way, after she found her brother, her brother was an official and had money, and it was nothing to give her a good dowry, so that she could find an ordinary peasant man, relying on the dowry given by her brother, to buy a lot of land, and the family could live a good life without worrying about food and clothing. Otherwise, find a poor scholar, relying on her dowry, she can also provide for her husband to study, if she can grow up in the future, take the exam to show talent, raise people or something, with the help of her brother and sister-in-law, it is still possible to get a half-official position. At that time, she was the wife of a petty official, so she could live a good life.
However, this is not the case. Since she was a child, Mrs. Zhao sent someone to take her out of the small mountain village and put her in the Qinglou to learn the skills of various fireworks girls. Although she hasn't really slept with a man, she has done a lot of kissing and stroking. After all, Oiran fame doesn't come from sitting there and saying a few words.
The reason why she still maintains her virgin body is because she is still only a clear person, and she has not yet found someone with a higher bid to comb her. However, since she officially entered the Fengyue field at the age of twelve, she has begun to sing and dance every day. Accompany wine and food, men have seen a lot, and they are all used to it. With such a self, how can he find a man to marry?
If people knew that she had been in the Qinglou, could they still marry her? Even if he didn't know it at the time, he married her as the main room, and later found out, even if he looked at his brother's face, he didn't dare to divorce her. I guess I can't respect her anymore. I'm sure I'll get a yard of concubines. So why do you want to live like this?
Thinking of this, Langxue couldn't help but wilt a little, and he didn't even have the interest in playing with the law.
Her two maids, look at what she just said. How for a while. Will the master wilt? Recall. It seems that this is the case when it comes to the issue of marriage.
The two maids thought they were smart, and the girl must have been worried about her future. Speaking of which, it is indeed difficult for my own girl to get married. They don't know about their girl's past. The matter of the Qinglou. It's so special that few people know about it. Langxue hates that period of time the most, so she never mentions it.
The two maids thought that their own girl was under the fence, and now she lives in the Liu family, and if her name is not right, it is really not good for her to say goodbye. Say she's a girl from the Liu family, right? She's not, she doesn't have any blood relationship with the surname Liu. She's here with her brother. But her brother also lives here. Nor is it the master here. said that her brother has a good identity, he is the second son of Lao Zhongyigong, and after the famous family, he is still an official, and his grade is still high. But it was her brother. She is not from the Zhao family. has no blood relationship with the Zhao family at all, so her brother can use the banner of the Loyal and Righteous Mansion, but she can't.
Actually, none of this is a big deal. In the future, the girl of her own family followed the girl's brother Zhao into the county lord's mansion. That girl is the girl of the county lord's mansion, and she is the sister-in-law of the county lord. Who is the county lord? Da Chu knows that he is powerful, and he is the daughter of the Chen family, the royal county lord, and the city lord of the three cities in Nanyang. has the right and money, but many people in the capital are stammering. With such great power as the county lord, can he not worry about finding a good in-law for his sister-in-law? This is her sister-in-law, her own girl has a sister-in-law like the county lord, and her identity doesn't follow? I heard that the county lord's maids have all become officials. It's really a seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, compared to the maids of the county lord, isn't this sister-in-law's status higher?
The girls to be married, in addition to competing for identity, also have to compete for dowry. At this point, the two maids are not worried at all. Although the dowries of the girls were prepared by the girls' parents. And the most pitiful thing about my own girl is that her parents are gone. But that's not a problem. She also has a brother and a sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law is the county lord of Wenhui, and with the wealth of the county lord, her sister-in-law will definitely have a rich dowry in the future. In fact, it doesn't matter if the county lord doesn't give the girl a dowry. Lord Zhao himself is very rich. In the past few months in this mansion, Lord Zhao has made money loose, and he is a master who spends a lot of money, and he has given the most rewards to his subordinates. He didn't hesitate to give his own girl. and every month he gave two or three hundred taels of silver. Where can the girls of ordinary eunuchs have so much pocket money?
Therefore, from this point of view, even if her sister-in-law does not buy a dowry in the future, her brother alone will be able to make up a good dowry. With the brother of the second-class master, the sister-in-law of the county lord, and a rich dowry, the person the girl marries will never be an ordinary person, I am afraid that it is not a family, not a powerful person, and she is not married, anyway, her own girl is waiting to be a wife.
It's just that it's a little more difficult at the moment, anyway, there is nothing, there are less than three months before Lord Zhao gets married, and these three months are still waiting. Of course, these three months can't be spent in vain, first, to learn some housekeeping skills from Mrs. Liu, and second, to please the county lord with good ideas. In this way, the future is guaranteed, and the two of them have a good future.
These are all things that the two maids have discussed countless times in private, so the two of them are very relieved, they gently soothe their master, persuade for a long time, and then make Xue cheer up, and tell the two maids to clean up how many materials they have in their hands, and also to make a plan, what tricks to get. The other went out to find the buyer, gave a slip, and a silver ticket, and asked the buyer to help buy the materials.
After making snow for an afternoon, I finally decided what kind of twenty-four lines to play, and then I heard that Mingzhu was back. She changed her clothes and went to the front yard to look for Mingzhu.
I told Mingzhu about my intentions, please refer to Mingzhu on how to buy a gift for my future sister-in-law.
Mingzhu was a little surprised, this Xue is still very good at settling with his future sister-in-law, and he is also a smart person. She and Wen Hui are good friends, and she also hopes that Wen Hui can get along happily with her sister-in-law in the future, so she is very enthusiastic to ask what Rong Xue thinks. Lang Xue said that he planned to fight the lot, as well as the quantity, tricks, etc. Then she wanted to ask Mingzhu to help buy some other things, and when the time came, her brother would send them over.
Mingzhu smiled and said: "Langxue, you are really ingenious, you actually thought of such a chic thing as playing a rope." Let me tell you, Wen Hui has everything, you just give a set of all-gemstone head and face jewelry, she may not be able to see it. That's all that stuff, she's too much. But she likes these delicate and wasteful things, such as this novel and fashionable and good-looking wind, and some exquisite embroidery, as well as those exquisite silk flowers and the like. You're kind of what you like. ”
She was very happy to say this, but she didn't expect the idea that the two maids gave her was crooked. Mingzhu continued: "Actually, if you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, it would be good to send some female red who made your own zuò." Too lazy to be a female celebrity or even write a word or draw a picture, not to mention that you have carefully prepared so many chic lines? You don't have to prepare anything else. ”
Lang Xue said with a smile: "After all, it's not an ordinary birthday, it's a gift, it's definitely not okay to be so simple." ”
Mingzhu said this, but he was actually very satisfied with the attitude of the snow, so he said: "If that's the case, I'll prepare some more things for you, and get a four-color gift, or a six-color gift, which is also very beautiful." ”
Lang Xue hurriedly took out two silver tickets and said, "I have two hundred taels of silver tickets here, please ask my wife to help me look at and buy them, don't be afraid to spend money, be sure to buy the best things." ”
Mingzhu smiled and said, "Where can I ask for your money?" Do I have no money to spend? Gather all your money, just wait, and I'll get you something of the finest to come back." ”
Lang Xue insisted: "I know that Madame is not afraid to spend this money. I've lived here for so long, and my wife has made everything for me to eat, wear, use, and live, so why didn't my brother and I spend a penny? However, this gift is a piece of my heart, and it is better to spend my own money. ”
Mingzhu was even more satisfied and said: "Okay, since you have this heart, I can't stop you, you just put down a hundred taels of silver tickets, where can you use so much." It's just some longevity peaches, longevity noodles, and some silk and satin. ”
Lang Xue said: "I follow my wife to manage the accounts these days, and I also know the market, Shou Tao, Shou Mian doesn't cost much, but those high-quality silk, yarn material costs 100 taels of silver, of course, there are 10 taels of silver a piece of silk, but such ordinary goods, let alone the county lord, even the maids around the county lord are estimated not to wear it." So, this thing must be prepared to be of the highest quality. My two hundred taels of silver may not be enough. Madame is definitely going to put some on me. Where else can I get it back? ”
Mingzhu said with a smile: "What you said is true, Wen Hui is very picky about life, what she eats, what she uses, what she wears, what she lives in, all the best, I see, Princess Lichuan is not as particular as her." By the way, you haven't been to her county lord's mansion yet, and you will be blessed to live in it in the future, it's called beautiful, but the palace is not so exquisite. Well, since it's a piece of your heart, I'll take it. You'd better hurry up and prepare your connections. ”
Rong Xue smiled and came down. (To be continued......)
