Even Jiayue is a good partner of his village, and there is no one in the family, Lu Feng went to the capital and entered the bank, and after becoming an apprentice, thinking of his good friend, he also had a meal at home, but he didn't have a meal, but he was very smart. Therefore, I introduced Lian Jiayue to the bank and learned from the master.

Who knows, Lian Jiayue is smarter than Lu Fengcai, after completing his studies, he was among the best in the assessment every time, and was finally picked up by the county lord's mansion to be used as an accountant.

Now it has become a phoenix on the branches, and the treatment, monthly money, and benefits of the county lord's mansion are the best. Besides, there are many things in charge of the county lord's mansion, especially the account office. The very profitable banks, Cuijin Building, Qinghe Restaurant, garment workshop, textile workshop, and canning workshop are all managed by the account office of the government.

Lian Jiayue lives in the subordinate room of the county lord's mansion, and it is said that it is the subordinate room, which is better than ordinary people. On the first floor of the small courtyard, there is a small servant serving.

In this way, even Jiayue eats and lives in the county lord's mansion, and the money he earns has no place to spend it. Lu Fengcai planned to borrow money from Lian Jiayue, so that he could give more dowry.

When I arrived at Lian Jiayue, Lian Jiayue had just come back from the mansion and was about to enter the door, when he happened to meet Lu Fengcai at the door. Lian Jiayue was very happy and said, "Why are you free?" ”

Lu Fengcai carried a small food box in his hand and said, "I just bought some appetizers, I know you still have some wine here, let's have two drinks today?" I have something I need your help with. ”

Lian Jiayue hurriedly invited Lu Fengcai into the house. Lu Fengcai was also not polite, and handed the food box to Lian Jiayue's little servant, and the little servant cleaned it up after a while. Lian Jiayue rewarded the little guy with a bowl, and the little guy went to the kitchen to eat, and the two brothers drank.

Lu Fengcai and Lian Jiayue's friendship is not ordinary, nor is he hypocritical, he directly told what happened and frankly said that he wanted to borrow money from a friend.

Lian Jiayue said: "Good boy, you are silent, but you have set your life's events." How's that girl? Well, it seems to be very good, otherwise, people don't care about the dowry. You'll also have to lend money to the dowry. That's important. ”

Lu Fengcai smiled and said: "Miss Hu Chun'er is indeed a good girl, in the future, when we get married, you will naturally see you." She's a local girl. But very gentle. He will also have a good handicraft. is already a first-class embroidery girl in Cuijin Building. Her family is also very good, and the people I have dealt with many times with them are honest people. ”

Lian Jiayue smiled and said, "Do you know what I'm asking? Isn't it beautiful? ”

Lu Fengcai blushed. said, "Well, it's pretty eye-catching anyway." ”

Lian Jiayue laughed.

Lu Fengcai was annoyed and said, "What are you laughing at, this is a common thing, won't you get married in the future?" When the time comes, I'm going to laugh at you, too. ”

Lian Jiayue had no choice but to stop smiling and said, "It seems that you have a deep affection for this Hu girl." This is really a fate to meet thousands of miles away, I didn't expect that your fate is here. Tell me, how much money are you going to borrow. ”

Lian Jiayue smiled and said, "I have a dozen taels of silver in my own hands." Actually, that's enough. The Hu family is not a big family, just ordinary citizens. I know that their family background, that is, there are more than ten acres of land outside the city, and now they have taken out a loan to buy a thousand acres of mountains and forests. Later, it may get better. Not yet. Therefore, the dowry of ten or so taels of silver is also quite long. However, I thought that Miss Hu deserved the best. Therefore, I want to borrow twenty taels of silver, so that I can make up enough thirty taels of silver to give her family a dowry. Well, I'll pay you back in two months, will the interest be based on the bank interest? ”

Lian Jiayue said: "Go, between our brothers, what kind of interest will we talk about." ”

When he had finished speaking, he got up and went into the house, and when he came back, he took a silver ticket of twenty taels of silver, and said, "These twenty taels of silver are for you." It's okay at any time. I'm not in a hurry to use it. You can go back and buy it. ”

Lu Fengcai didn't postpone it, stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "Then brother, thank you first." Looking back, I got married, and asked your sister-in-law to give you two more glasses. ”

Lian Jiayue said with a smile: "Before the person got married, he already said that he was a sister-in-law?" ”

Lu Fengcai smiled and said, "Don't laugh at me." By the way, you're not too old, do you have a sweetheart? Do you want me to ask one of our fellow countrymen to introduce you to one? ”

Lu Fengcai originally said it casually, but he found that Lian Jiayue's face changed, a little bitter, a little sad, and a little happy.

Lu Fengcai is the best at observing words and feelings, and knows in his heart that there is a situation, so he hurriedly asked: "But, you already have someone you like?" ”

Lian Jiayue smiled bitterly and said, "I won't tell you, I have a crush, but my status is too high, where am I worthy of it?" You can only watch. Ay. ”

After speaking, Lian Jiayue drank all the wine at hand.

Lu Fengcai asked strangely: "Could it be that you have fallen in love with the girl from the rich family in the city?" However, with your identity as the bookkeeper of the county lord's mansion, you are the girl of the Wen family, and you are also worthy of it. How could it not be worthy? ”

Lian Jiayue smiled bitterly and said, "Before, there was really a person who introduced me to a girl from the Wen family. However, I already have someone in my heart, where do I want to? ”

Lu Fengcai was surprised and asked, "Who is that?" ”

Lian Jiayue didn't want to say it, but thinking about the bitterness in his heart, he really wanted to find someone to talk to. It just so happened that Lu Feng was his good friend, and his character was trustworthy, so he gritted his teeth and said: "What I like is the big girl Shui Han girl next to the county lord." ”

Lu Fengcai was taken aback, the wine glass in his hand almost fell, and he said, "Oh, can you really think about it?" Is that a phoenix in the sky? Although the maids around the county lord are maids, who dares to treat them as maids? When the officials of the city saw it, they had to give three points of courtesy. The county lord was notoriously good to those four maids. Moreover, we have followed the county lord for so many years, can we still not know? The first-class girl beside the county lord has an unlimited future in the future. We have also seen the Qiubi girls in the past. Now that the four of them have become the deputy city lords of Nanyang, they are high-ranking officials, how can this be climbed by ordinary people? ”

Lian Jiayue smiled bitterly and said, "Can I not know? I'm in the county lord's mansion, can I still know what kind of status the county lord's eldest maid is, that is, the sister-in-law of the Wen family came to ask for marriage, but I am afraid that the county lord is afraid of insulting the girls of the water cold? What's more, what about a person like me who has no power, no net worth, no background? Hey, it can only be a flash in the pan. ”

"However, now, I reconcile with Miss Shuihan every day, and I am satisfied as long as I can see her. Therefore, I decided not to marry for the rest of my life, as long as I could look at the girl like this every day. ”

Lu Fengcai couldn't help frowning and said, "It's not easy for you to handle this matter. The main thing is that you are too high-minded, are the fairies in the sky what we can think of? Forget it, you still put out this heart, find a hard-working girl who is the right person, get married, have a bunch of children, and live a good family is the right way. ”

Lian Jiayue smiled bitterly and did not say anything.

Lu Fengcai knew in his heart that Lian Jiayue was the most tendon, and he was afraid that his decision would not be easy to change. In the future, we can only take one step at a time.

Because of the matter of good friends, Lu Fengcai's originally good mood has become bad. The brothers drank for a long time, and finally got drunk, and Lu Feng rested at Lian Jiayue's house.

Two days later, Lu Fengcai prepared everything and invited a matchmaker, that is, the bank manager and the embroidery lady husband and wife. I took thirty taels of silver, as well as what I had saved before, and during the New Year's holidays and happy events, the bank rewarded the employees with four pieces of silk and satin. Although it is not a top-grade Nanyang silk, it is also a high-quality Nanyang silk, and it is sold for a dozen taels of silver on the market. Handed over to the matchmaker together. The embroidery lady is Hu Chun'er's master, so she is naturally towards Hu Chun'er.

Seeing that Lu Fengcai was so generous, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to Hu Chun'er, and he is very happy, and praises Lu Fengcai a few words, and then goes to the Hu family for the dowry according to the number of courtesies.

The Hu family saw that Lu Feng was so generous, and the silk was also a good silk, and there were thirty taels of silver. The Hu family was very happy, warmly entertained the matchmaker, and accepted the dowry.

The two families exchanged Geng posts, and this family affair was completed.

Hu Chun'er was shy and happy.

After this matter was done, the Hu family began to nervously give Hu Chun'er a dowry. In fact, the dowry of the poor family is not prepared, it is generally very simple, quilts, clothes and the like, and better ones, some practical furniture.

Because the Hu family said before, they would give Hu Chun'er a dowry. Therefore, at least a dowry of thirty taels of silver must be purchased, which means that more things must be purchased.

The Hu family had already saved some wood, so they took the wood to the carpenter to make furniture, and the handmade money was sent to the thirty taels of silver, so that the wood did not have to be paid. That's a lot of money.

And quilts, clothes and stuff. These things are just bought cotton and cloth back, and Hu Chun'er can make them by herself when she finds time. It also saves a lot of money.

In this way, thirty taels of silver could not be spent, so Hu Chun'er was given some jewelry, so that when Hu Chun'er got married, he could be more decent.

The Hu family was nervously purchasing Hu Chun'er's dowry, and Mrs. Hu encountered another thing that made her happy. The girl she has always liked and wants to be Hu Kun's daughter-in-law, agrees to the Hu family's proposal.

As soon as the news was told to Hu Laohan, Hu Laohan asked a little strangely: "Didn't you say before that you wanted our family to build a good house?" ”

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "That's what it was. However, now, everyone knows that we already have thousands of acres of mountain and forest property, and naturally our identity is different from before. Although we are still in a poor family, we will not be in a while, and at that time, our conditions will inevitably be higher, so it is better to agree as soon as possible. ”

The Hu family was stunned. (To be continued......)
