Seeing the carriage of the palace go away surrounded by the guards of the palace, the mood of the Taoist idiot suddenly became low. Wang Ning's family just came out to meet the prince, and together with his grandson, he personally sent the distinguished guests out.

The old man was not at ease, and he could see that his grandson was uncomfortable, so he didn't say anything, but said: "You have been on vacation for half a month, and you will return to school in half a month, and you will be your companion at that time." ”

The Taoist idiot nodded and helped Wang Ning back to the courtyard.

Although the guards brought by Fang Cai Shizi were not three hundred, there were seventy or eighty people, scattered in the streets and alleys, attracting many people to probe their brains. Although others were curious, they just muttered a few words.

The outer eight rooms are more real because they are close neighbors with the outer nine rooms.

Over the past year or so, they have seen the changes in the outer nine rooms. Maybe the outer nine rooms are not as rich as them now, but everyone can see that the days of the outer nine rooms will get better and better.

The grandson-in-law is a talented master, and the grandson is the companion of the palace, and now the number of servants in the family is gradually increasing. The eighth old lady and her two daughters-in-law were all stopped by the eighth old lady.

The eighth old lady said this: "Some others are others, and people still do their duty and only look at the good in their own bowls." At that time, he was estranged from the outer nine rooms, because he was afraid that they would be poor and take advantage of this side. Now I want to learn from the ten rooms that have no face and no skin, and they used to beg for cheapness? Are my children and grandchildren beggars? ”

The wife and daughter-in-law who said it all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to mention the words of moving around with the outer nine rooms anymore.

Adults are not only concerned about face, but also think about the stakes, but it is not as simple as children think. The two grandsons in the outer eight rooms love to get around the idiot.

Both of them are in ethnography, but they haven't ended up yet. Dao idiots are the same age as them, but they have passed the county test and the government test, how not to let them admire.

The two daughters-in-law in the eighth room were afraid that their father-in-law would blame them, so they taught their sons two lessons, and the two younger ones did not dare to go out to the ninth room. It's just that the two cousins are studying more and more diligently, thinking that if their brothers have passed the children's exam, what reason will their parents have to stop them from getting close to their cousins......

Where could Wang Ning and the Taoist idiot think that the entanglement of the old and young in the outer eight rooms, the two grandparents and grandchildren began to draw up a dowry list for Shunniang.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is still half a moon left in the holiday, Dao Idiot wants to deal with this properly.

In addition to the fifty acres of land that he bought before, the Taoist idiot went to Xicheng to buy a shop in the past two days. The geographical location is only medium, and it is precisely because of this that the price is also cheap, one hundred and five taels of silver on the street with three door rooms. Even if the rent is not much, it is no problem to count ten taels of silver a year.

The large items such as makeup fields, shops, and furniture are all ready, and there are a lot of bits and pieces left.

When the idiot came to this world, it was the first time to buy a dowry, where did he know what to do, and the list drawn up by Wang Ning's family looked too simple. Even if the father and son of the Zhang family are not the eyes of power, there are still those relatives of the Zhang family. Shun Niang has such a kind character, and the idiot doesn't want her to be looked down upon because of the dowry.

I really can't, and the idiot can only ask Rong Niang for help.

Rong Niang copied a copy of her dowry list and took San Lang and Dao Idiot for reference.

Bonsai with glass covers, cloisonné enamel fruit boxes, hanging mirrors, and hanging screens are all considered "luxury" at this time, and they are all crossed out. These things have been accumulated over the years of adulthood, and there is nowhere to buy them if you have money.

Silver wax skewers can be replaced with pewter, and pastel tea cans can be replaced with blue and white cans. Tea sets and porcelain can be halved, and carding utensils, toiletries, cosmetics, etc., can be purchased within the scope of Anlu City.

Four seasons clothes, shoes and socks, and other clothing items, which are almost prepared here, what the idiot needs to do is to add more rulers.

The piece of jewelry for the wedding is to ask Rong Niang to help go to the silver building to choose. In addition to the four pairs of earrings are pure gold, a pair of head and face are gilded, a pair of cloisonné enamel hairpins, and several sets of hairpin rings commonly worn at home are made of silver.

Fifty-five taels of silver were used for two boxes of jewelry.

After choosing the jewelry, the three sisters and brothers took the prepared list and made a big purchase in Xicheng. The rest is not a valuable object, and the clothing is a big part here. In addition to the silk, plain yarn, etc., which can be used by the Shuren, because Zhang Qinghe is already a talent, Shunniang is considered a "scholar's wife", and the clothes can be made of silk and silk, which are not available in the outer nine rooms.

In addition to the restrictions on clothing, the Taoist idiot knew that even the color of the people's clothing was limited. Folk women can only wear light colors when dressing, and they are not allowed to use red and crow green, which is the difference between Shishu.

According to this theory, the outer nine rooms are much stronger than ordinary people, because the outer nine rooms belong to the "scholar" class, and there are not so many evasions in dressing.

When the procurement was complete, a whole wagon was piled up.

When they arrived at the outer ninth room, the idiot arranged for everyone to unload the car.

Seeing him purchasing on a large scale, Shunniang was very surprised, but Wang Ning couldn't see what it was. Before the idiot went out, he had already told the old man. The two big-headed idiots have spent it, and on these small heads, Wang Ning's family has not been long-winded.

In the old lady's heart, she had already regarded herself as an idiot, and she didn't stop him from doing his best to buy a dowry for Shunniang. In the old lady's opinion, if her eldest grandson was alive, she would definitely be like this. If she cares too much, she will be like an outsider.

The west house in the upper room has long been vacated, and the dowry of the obedient mother is kept, and these things are carried and carried by everyone, and they are all sent to the upper room.

After the things were unloaded, Shunniang's forehead was dripping with sweat, and she heard Rong Niang say something, knowing that these things were the dowry that her brother had bought for herself.

She didn't avoid it this time, but said with a straight face: "Grandmother, Erlang, I don't want it." These things will either be withdrawn, or they will be made a dowry for Erlang. If it's Zhang Jiatu's dowry, then I don't want to marry. ”

Although Wang Ning's family let out his words, the Taoist idiot does not marry early, but the three generations of the outer nine rooms are alone, and he is not allowed to marry too late, and most of them will be married after the childhood ceremony. If you calculate it carefully, it will only take three or two years of effort.

Wang Ning scolded: "Shut up, dare to say anything!" ”

Shunniang lowered her head and said, "Anyway, don't want it." I was originally a sister, I didn't say what to do for my brother, but let my brother take care of me, what is this? As he spoke, tears were already falling.

It is even more troublesome for an honest person to make a twist, and it is in front of Rong Niang's sister and brother, Wang Ning's heart is already annoyed.

It's not good to tell Shun Niang, these are really nothing. Even if it seems to outsiders that he has used almost all of his net worth, it is actually not like that. But in front of Rong Niang and San Lang, it's hard to say this.

Even if it was the hundred or ten taels of silver used to buy things, in order not to make Rong Niang suspicious, he went to the pharmacy first and sold the ginseng, deer antler velvet and other high-grade supplements that the prince brought when he came over that day; When I was in the silver building, I took out the old hairpin ring and exchanged it for dozens of taels of silver.

Rong Niang and San Lang saw it in their eyes, and they thought that most of the sources of money in the outer nine rooms were like this, and they felt more and more that it was not easy to be an idiot.

Rong Niang was a little disappreciative of Shun Niang, feeling that she was too soft and did not inherit Wang Ning's rigidity; It's a little unbearable to see her like this now.

Seeing that Wang Ning's face was blue, and he wanted to stop talking, Rong Niang took Shun Niang's hand and said: "Good sister, the dowry has been purchased by the mother's family since ancient times, and the amount is the heart, my sister only needs to bear it, where is it good to say what you want or not." ”

Shunniang choked up and said, "But, how can I bear it? ”

Rong Niang took out a handkerchief, helped her wipe her tears and said, "What can you bear to bear, aren't you sisters and brothers?" If you want me to say, Jiro is doing a good job. Even if he is young, he is also a man who supports the door, and he doesn't call the shots for you, the sister, for whom. Even if I give it to you now, what can I do? Is it true that if he is unprofitable, he will not be able to earn any more money and come back? ”

The words like crackling beans came out, and Shunniang couldn't refute it, so she only said: "But, it's ......."

"But what? Erlang came out early in the morning, ran around for most of the day, didn't even eat tea, Sister Shunniang didn't say a word of thanks, but blamed it, I can't see it. It's not an outsider, it's so clear that it's a family, and it's not interesting to say who suffers and who takes advantage. Rong Niang said crisply.

Shun Niang hurriedly said: "I don't blame ......"

Rong Niang smiled: "Then Sister Shunniang will be happy to accept this kindness, don't talk about it again, be careful of ruining your uncle and grandmother." ”

Shunniang was ashamed and ashamed of what Rong Niang said, but she didn't say anything like "don't", but she was still a little confused and uneasy.

Wang Ning sighed secretly, and instructed Dao Niang to entertain Rong Niang's sister and brother, and took Shun Niang to the East House to explain.

The Taoist idiot took Rong Niang and San Lang to the East Chamber to serve tea.

When he entered the house, the idiot raised a big finger at Rong Niang: "Big sister is so amazing!" ”

Rong Niang covered her sleeves and chuckled, "What is this?" Regardless of men and women, if you want to speak loudly, you have to occupy the word 'reason'. ”

San Lang was curious: "Then what if you don't take advantage of it?" ”

Rong Niang raised her eyebrows and said: "The truth is not that the world fell into your arms, just ignore it and find it?" Even if you can't find it, isn't there still that sentence, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable. If you don't have confidence in your heart, then it's better to stop talking as soon as possible, what do you do? ”

San Lang stammered: "What the big sister means, isn't it unreasonable to argue for three points?" ”

Rong Niang remembered what was going on, looked at the idiot and said, "How much money can you make up here?" ”

Dao Idiot thought for a while, and said: "There are only a few taels left over from today's purchase, as well as a few old objects given by the master, and two good inkstones given by the prince and the patriarch after the government test...... Speaking of this, he hesitated and said: "Big sister, how much silver does the pawnshop need?" ”

Rong Niang said: "The pawnshop is different from other shops, it needs a warehouse, and the place behind the shop should be large, and the place should not be too remote." After buying the shop, you also need to use a blacksmith to defend the iron storehouse, not counting the principal, the shop will cost three or four hundred taels of silver. In the early stage, ready-to-wear clothes can be sold directly to ready-to-wear shops, and the good items received can also be directly sent to antique shops for consignment. When the principal turnover is opened and there is surplus money, it is not too late to buy two other shops. Rao is like this, from the shop to the principal, to say the least, it will cost seven or eight hundred taels of silver......"
