The marriage etiquette of the Zhong family and the Wen family has been guided by the official media, and they have passed the Nacai, asking for names, Najib, and now they have reached the threshold of Nazheng, the Zhong family has calculated the auspicious day, and the man has prepared eighteen bride prices to prepare for the door. After the Wenfu accepts the bride price, it will be the official invitation time, and the auspicious day for marriage will be officially selected according to the month discussed by the two families.

According to the rules, the principals of the two families, after that, can go to the government to prepare the marriage certificate, and this family affair is one step away. The dowry of the women's family here in Wenfu is generally determined according to the bride price of the male family, and the dowry will be doubled for those who talk about the rules. Zhong Chichun is favored in the Zhong family, but in the major event of the bride price, he cannot exceed the number of raised by the brothers above when they got married. When marrying a girl in Wenfu, the man's bride price has always been included in the dowry, and then it will be sent directly back to the husband's house. When the Zhong family prepared the bride price, they naturally came over to ask Mrs. Wen what they meant, but this number, in comparison, has the support of the public middle school in the fourth room, and there is still a certain amount of pressure.

Wen Chunyi didn't want to empty the family again because of her dowry. She said to Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family: "Dad, mother, what kind of family is our family, the Zhong family doesn't know it, so they don't need to spend so much." I think it's okay to get by on the face, just do it, what's inside, you don't need to hold up the façade. "Wen Chaoqing and Jin's original intention was to bring their own eighteen full dowries, and everything inside should be exquisite, and the husband and wife should calculate it, plus the silver taels in the public school, they will be worse. When Wen Xueyi got married, the Ma family had never sent so many dowries, and Sifang was the first time to marry a daughter, and the financial resources were exhausted.

Wen Chunyi thinks the number of her dowry. It's about the same as Wen Xueyi, but it's just one or two lifts less, which is also reasonable, after all, she is the second daughter, and she doesn't need to cover the eldest sister in this matter. The fourth room is not as good as before, and the new sister-in-law will enter the door next spring, and she can't let others come over, so she has to start from a hard life for a living. Prepare eighteen dowries, and the number of dowries can not be less, but there can be a lot of things inside. Things don't have to be exquisite. Practicality is the most important thing. That delicate yarn cotton texture. The price is expensive and not practical, Wen Chunyi said directly to Jin's: "Mother, such waste material." Just prepare one or two pieces to deal with. ”

Kim originally wanted to prepare a box of delicate yarn and cotton patterns. When the time comes, open the box in front of people. Wen Chunyi is also extremely face-saving in her husband's family. And Wen Chunyi looked at her with a smile and said, "Mother, people who know the truth, see such a box of goods." I will definitely say that I am a selfish daughter of a loser, I only think about myself, and I don't care about the life and death of my mother's family. I was married, but I was afraid that my reputation would be tarnished in secret. After Jin was silent for a long time, he finally followed the woman in charge and said, "You go and tell the Qingxun owner that you don't need to look for that kind of material outside, just have two pieces." ”

It stands to reason that the mother's family prepares a dowry for her daughter, and the daughter who is about to marry cannot be said much. However, Wen Chunyi knows the nature of his family, Wen Xiuyu is a person who would rather wronged himself than his sisters. Under Wen Chunyi's deliberate operation, Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family finally listened to her advice, the same daughter, the eldest daughter and the second daughter's dowry should not be too different because of the number of bride prices of the husband's family. As parents, they still hope that their two daughters will work together, listening to what Wen Chunyi said for Wen Xueyi, Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family finally agreed, the Ma family and the Zhong family, in their hearts, should be the same status.

The three Wen Xiuyu brothers carried Wen Chaoqing and his wife on their backs, looking for Wen Chunyi to speak. Wen Xiuyu said directly to Wen Chunyi: "Xueduo, don't worry about the family preparing a dowry for you, the family wealth will be emptied, and your sister-in-law will marry in, and she will live a more difficult life." Your sister-in-law is a generous and sensible person, and the dowry prepared for her by her family is not in harmony. And Brother Jun and Brother Jie are still young, and the family affairs need to be delayed for a few years, and by that time, the family will be able to save some surplus wealth. Wen Xiujun and Wen Xiujie nodded on the side, and Wen Xiujun followed: "Xue Duo, the eldest sister and brother-in-law are not stingy people, your dowry is more than the eldest sister, and the two of them don't care." ”

Wen Chunyi will not bet on the affection of the world, the affection between people, if you don't know how to manage each other and cherish it, no matter what kind of affection, you can't stand the polishing and consumption of time. The brother-in-law of the Ma family and Wen Xue treat her with strong affection, and she should also cherish it, and she can't do things that disappoint the two too much in this kind of big picture. They are a young husband and wife, after all, they have to face the many eyes of the Ma family, and the mother's family is unfair, which will make Wen Xueyi's husband's family in a bad situation. Wen Chun thought very transparently, she would not hurt people who treated her well.

In comparison, the Zhong family saw the bowl of water and the dowry of Wen Chaoqing and his wife, although they felt a little uncomfortable, but people who were reasonable afterwards could figure out the joints. Wen Chunyi smiled slightly, looked at the three of them, and said, "My sister-in-law has a heavy dowry, and that is also the intention of my sister-in-law's family." Brother, you are not a person who eats soft rice, and there is no poverty in the family who needs to spend your sister-in-law's dowry. The Zeng family married their daughter, but they were just looking for our family, and they were sincere to their sister-in-law. My sincerity is to purchase a dowry based on my sister's dowry, and I can't live it, and it will affect my mother's family to live a hard life, and I enjoy it alone. ”

Wen Xiujun looked at Wen Chunyi with great disapproval, and said: "Xueduo, didn't you plan it, just these days, the five of us got together and wrote a few idle books on marriage and the like." When my sister-in-law got married, we published a book, how could I be tired of my sister-in-law, it's just that her life in our family is not as rich as the Zeng family. Wen Chunyi didn't have a good look at him and said: "That book is to be written, and a lot of information must be collected, so it can be completed so quickly." Besides, after my brother and sister-in-law get married, maybe in a few months, we will have a little nephew, and we need more silver.

Think about it for yourself, if the family wants to lend me money for a dowry, after I get married, in the face of a rich dowry, thinking that you will have to pay off the debts after suffering at home, will you be happy? Why bother to do things that hurt Lizi for the sake of face. The people of Ancheng are not ignorant of the fact that the family background of the four houses of the Wenfu is weak, so my dowry can be passed. Wen Xiujie nodded with a look of approval and said, "I like big sister, little sister, sister-in-law, I don't want you to suffer." This was said as if he hadn't said it, but Brother Wen Xiuyu and Wen Chunyi both understood what he meant.

The dowry matter was finally negotiated and arranged without borrowing foreign debts. In the blink of an eye, the auspicious day arrived, and the Zhong family sent a bride price, eighteen bride prices, things inside, ten exquisite objects, and the rest are practical objects that can be used after becoming a family in the future. Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the Zhong family finally took into account the conditions of the four rooms of the Wen Mansion. Mrs. Wen personally handed over the dowry list to the eldest lady of the Zhong family, she looked at it with a smile, and said to Mrs. Wen: "I heard that the four-room husband and wife are particularly partial to their youngest daughter, and I look at the items on the list, which is similar to the dowry of the eighth lady who married a few years ago. ”

Zhong Wen and the two families are good friends, and when Wen Xueyi gets married, the Zhong family wants to inquire about the things on the dowry list, so they can naturally inquire clearly. Mrs. Wen looked at the eldest lady of the Zhong family with a smile on her face and nodded, "Sifang will hold two happy events in a row next year, and it is considered that I have done my best to take care of the dowry so face-saving." "The eldest lady of the Zhong family knew that the Jin family married into the Wen Mansion back then, and the thin dowry made everyone deeply aware of the virtuousness of Mrs. Jin's mother-in-law, and she didn't even bother to pretend to be on the surface. Over the years, most of the sources of private property and wealth in Sifang have come from Jin's ingenious thoughts.

The eldest lady of the Zhong family is still satisfied with the sincerity of Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family, if Wen Chunyi's dowry is too much beyond Wen Xueyi, it will make her feel uncomfortable, and she will worry that Wen Chunyi will be spoiled by her parents and look at the cold temperament on the surface, but she is actually a very selfish and willful person. Such a person, with Zhong Chichun's affection, will disturb the peace of the Zhong family's house in the future. Wen Chunyi didn't think that she was not greedy or extravagant, but could get Mrs. Wen's favor. Mrs. Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the eldest lady of the Zhong family looked at Wen Chunyi a little, no matter how the third lady of the Zhong family didn't like Wen Chunyi in her heart, she would not be too embarrassed by her face.

The two families were sincere, and after the first snow fell in early winter, not long after, Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi's marriage letter came down. On the day of marriage, the two families discussed on June 6 of the following year, and when Shen Shi, the Zhong family came to greet them. Family affairs are already a certainty, Wen Chunyi can't say how he feels in his heart, but marrying Zhong Chichun is more comfortable than marrying a stranger no matter what. When Wen Xiujun quietly handed the letter to Wen Chunyi for the first time, she looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Jun, what do you have to say, can't you tell me in person, do you need to write to me?" ”

Wen Xiujun also looked at her with a surprised look on her face, and then shook her head lightly and said, "Xue Duo, how coarse your mind is, you are already a member of the Zhong family, and you have not yet had the consciousness to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family." He shoehorned the letter in his hand into Wen Chunyi's hand and said, "Xueduo, if you have a reply, I will help you transfer it." Wen Chunyi opened the letter, read the beginning, and blushed slightly. Zhong Chi Chun said in the letter that he was free in the near future, and he wanted to go out of the city to enjoy the snow with his brothers and sisters at home, and wanted to make an appointment with the two families to travel together. Zhong Chi Chun's letter was written frankly, and Wen Chunyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, just get along so naturally, and he can always deal with feelings when he thinks about it.

Wen Chunyi thought about such a thing, so he naturally had to explain it to his family. After hearing this, Wen Chaoqing smiled a little yearning and said: "In such a season, enjoy the snow outside the city and enjoy the winter flowers, as long as your brother and Jun'er are free, you can go out." Wen Xiuyu asked the time, counted the days, and said with a smile: "Then you tell Chi Chun, can you ask more people out?" Wen Xiujun immediately said directly: "Brother, do you want to ask the Zeng family sister to go out with the Zeng family?" Wen Xiuyu glared at Wen Xiujun, feeling that this younger brother was sometimes too headache. (To be continued......)
