If you want to start a house, you have to buy land, the Xue family sold all their land in order to let Xue Boqing study and test his fame, and now if he wants to start a house, he has to buy land again.

After discussing with his family, in order to refuse to sell it in case someone else refuses to sell, Xue Langjing chose a total of three plots of land, all of which are on the edge of the Xue family's old house.

However, they were lucky, and asked the owner of the land they liked the most, and they were willing to sell it.

Even if Xue Langjing bought it, he spent five taels of silver, and on the second day, he took the title deed to the county government to transfer the house.

For this matter, Grandpa Xue had another burst of fire.

It turned out that the land that Xue Langjing bought was actually recorded in his name.

Grandpa Xue felt that the elders in the family were all there, and Xue Langjing, a female doll, should not cross him, the head of the family, and hang the land under his name, there are elders, and the female doll below actually goes against the rules and wants to stand on her own, there is no reason for this in the world at all, no matter what you say about this land, it has to be in his name.

But Xue Langjing obviously didn't look down on him and didn't want to re-transfer the land.

For this reason, she was scolded by Grandpa Xue for being an unfilial son for several days.

And Xue Langjing scolded him, didn't bother with him, but he didn't change it, he really wanted to transfer the title deed to his grandfather's name, and grandpa would not be allowed to use the title deed in his name in the future!

Except for Grandpa Xue, everyone in the Xue family didn't have anything to say, except that Grandma Xue also felt that what her old man said was right, but she also knew that this granddaughter was a strong master, and once she made up her mind, she would not be willing to change it easily, even if they said it, they couldn't change this fact, so they wisely hid this thought, came out and muddy, and also gave their old man a step.

Xue Yuhe naturally wished that the title deed was in his second room, although he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that it should be in his father's name, but he also knew that he was not qualified to rob his father, and his father didn't say anything, so he couldn't say it if he came out again, but ended up with an unfilial name, so instead of changing it to his father's, it was better not to change it.

As for Xue Yuhai, since everyone has no opinions, his uncle is not qualified to say anything, even if he has an idea, he can't say it, so he can only acquiesce.

After buying the land, Xue Langjing turned her attention to the house.

For the new house, she plans to build a blue brick house.

In this way, I am afraid that I will not be able to get up without two hundred taels of silver.

When she bought the land, the silver in her hand was less than one hundred and eighty taels, some of which were not enough.

So I discussed with my family, let the family's money be lent to her temporarily, and the house was built first, and the money would be returned later, anyway, the family didn't need money at present.

Regarding this matter, Old Man Xue, who was still angry, naturally disagreed.

said that since you think you can afford to build a house, then use your own money to build it, why are you embarrassed to borrow the coffin book of their old couple.

I didn't want to think about it at all, the so-called coffin book in his mouth was mostly earned by Xue Langjing.

Fortunately, although Grandma Xue usually has a bad mouth and likes to be careful, but in this matter, she knows her granddaughter's temper in her heart, as long as she says it herself, she will never regret it, and this money must be borrowed temporarily, so they really don't need to stiffen the relationship with her granddaughter for this unnecessary thing, anyway, with her granddaughter's ability, it is estimated that it will be able to be returned in one or twenty days. Besides, after this house was built, didn't they live with a large family? Why bother!

In the end, Grandma Xue took out the seventeen taels of silver that the family had saved, which was temporarily lent to Xue Langjing by the public school.

In this case, the silver will be sufficient.

Xue Langjing doesn't need to come to the house herself, and she doesn't need her to supervise, her father must know more about this matter than herself, she only needs to pay the silver, and everything else can be done by her father, so that it will not affect her hunting.

The blue brick house is much finer than ordinary houses, and the Xue family requires more rooms, and this house is not small, so it will take a month or two to complete.

Although it is estimated that it will cost more than two hundred taels to start a house, there is no need to pay all the money at the beginning, carefully calculate, after a month or two, she will definitely be able to make up enough money for this house, and she can even earn the bride price of the Zhang family, so that the eldest sister's family affairs and the house are not wrong.

After the matter of the house is decided, Xue Langjing can be the shopkeeper and leave it alone, and his father will find someone to calculate the auspicious day to set the date for the start of construction, and then find a craftsman.

As for the materials, these craftsmen who specialize in building houses must have been dealing with these people for a long time, and they must know better than themselves, so it would be good to let the craftsmen introduce them when the time comes.

Because Xue Yuhe used to work in the town, it was naturally easy to find a reliable craftsman.

That's it, and soon, everything was ready.

On the set day, with the sound of firecrackers, the Xue family's new house officially started.

At the same time, the Xue family also began to prepare for Xue Linjing's family affairs, and it was only seven or eight days before she got married, and everything that should be prepared should also be prepared.

Originally, even if it was a recruitment, it was generally the groom who picked up the bride, and the groom took the wedding team and the sedan chair to the bride's house to pick up the bride, walked around outside, and then returned to the bride's house.

However, after the founding of the Chu State, the status of women has been improved to a certain extent, and some of the more powerful women's families, in order to show the status of their daughters after marriage, have changed the way of greeting relatives, and the reverse of the past, the bride takes the greeting team to the groom's house, the bride greets the bride, and the groom sits in a sedan chair.

In this way, the bride naturally does not need to cover her head.

Of course, this way of welcoming relatives was naturally criticized and opposed by Confucian literati, who felt that it was really unseemly to let women, especially brides, show their heads.

But they are not parties, so even if they object, it is useless.

This new custom was adopted by many wealthy families.

But since Chu Wuzong ascended the throne, the status of women in Chu began to decline again, and such a new custom has gradually been forgotten by people, and today, few people use this custom.

The Xue family originally planned to come in the way the bride picked up the groom, but Xue Langjing strongly objected, her opinion was that with this new custom, the women of her Xue family did not need to hide it, but to go out to the public and enter and leave the society generously.

The women of her Xue family are no worse than men like the women of the Zheng family.

Since the bride price and the cost of the entire wedding were all paid by Xue Langjing, her opinion was naturally quite important, and Xue Linjing herself agreed with her idea.

In this way, everyone in the Xue family only agreed after a little persuasion, and only Old Man Xue insisted on opposing it, thinking that this woman had to abide by the rules of women, so messy, what kind of system!
