Chapter 27: Fifteen Taels and Two Taels
In the end, the old man Jiang did not let go of his mouth about family affairs, but said that he also knew that the Xue family was in difficulty, and he was willing to add his granddaughter's dowry to fifteen taels, which was consistent with the bride price given by the Xue family, and did not ask the Xue family for a penny.
Coupled with the county master and the master's mention to the Xue family, the three masters of the Xue family who can call the shots discussed it and knew that this was already the limit that could be achieved, and finally had to agree with the Jiang family's statement.
But what about the Liu family, they are not for any name, they are for the five taels of silver, if they also give a dowry of five taels of silver, isn't it for nothing to post a daughter, this is absolutely not good!
Even if their daughter changes her parents, there will always be two or three taels of silver, at most, it will only take a lot of time to find the next family business.
Ben wanted to quit this family business, but when he turned his head and thought that his daughter was killed by their grandson and fell into the name of Kefu, it was even more difficult to find family affairs.
After some weighing, they still didn't want to withdraw their relatives and didn't want to post more money, and finally bit to death the dowry that they were only willing to give two taels of silver, it was impossible to do more, anyway, the family affairs set were not returned, if the Xue family didn't accept it, they would send people over when the day came, and they didn't even want one or two pieces of silver.
This is simply a scoundrel, plus the county magistrate is obviously happy that the woman will keep her husband's chastity, and he did not deliberately embarrass the Liu family, and did not let them spit out all the money or withdraw from their relatives, etc.
Looking at the attitude of the Liu family and the county master, it is obvious that there is no room to continue to fight, and the Xue family finally had to agree.
I can only swallow this bitter water into my stomach, and think about the benefits, how much I can get back seventeen taels of silver, but I will lose three taels of silver, and I will only have two more mouths, which is better than not getting one or two taels of silver back.
Moreover, on the Jiang family's side, the Xue family has to cooperate with the follow-up etiquette of the family affair to complete the dowry of the Jiang family's fifteen taels.
Everything has settled, and since then, these two women will be the granddaughters-in-law of their Xue family, and they will keep festivals for their grandson for the rest of their lives.
After this battle, the Jiang family in order to keep the name of the etiquette law, in vain sent out a flower-like yellow flower girl, and gave such a rich dowry, let the daughter for the deceased husband to observe the festival, the reputation was naturally spread by the onlookers, and in the county lord here passed the eye, the chastity archway will naturally be properly obtained, but the follow-up has to spend a lot of silver to build this archway.
However, for the Jiang family, for this archway, these efforts are certainly worth it.
Anyway, why haven't you seen that woman, everyone can know that she is a girl like a flower?
This is not nonsense, if it is not good, can people spend fifteen taels of silver bride price to marry, you look at the Liu family, isn't it only five taels of silver.
And the bride price of five taels is already quite good, let alone fifteen taels of silver.
Of course, this is a later story, I won't show it here, continue to talk about the Xue family.
It is said that after the Xue family was sure that they could get back seventeen taels of silver, they made up their minds to buy the spiritual elixir for Xue Langjing.
After these two marriages were negotiated, it happened that people were in this county office, and even if they showed that the Xue family was willing to recruit money, they wanted to buy the elixir of enlightenment.
After buying the medicine and getting married twice, the Xue family went home.
When they really spent five taels of silver to buy such a potion that they didn't know if it was effective, Mrs. Xue and they were still very distressed, after all, this is a big five taels of silver, and they can buy an acre of medium land with good fertility.
But thinking that as long as this granddaughter goes hunting, she can get home 100 yuan every day, and she can earn it back in fifty days, and the granddaughter can still save a lot of money in her hands, and in the end, it is not all from the Xue family, they can still reluctantly accept it.
When he got home, according to the instructions of the adult in charge of the potion in the county office, he boiled a bucket of hot water, let Xue Lang sit quietly in the wooden barrel, and drank the potion.
I don't know how to describe the process of enlightenment, just one word, it hurts!
It really hurts, up and down her body, every skin and bone is scraped and squeezed by a knife, the pain in her heart, the crunch of her teeth in pain, she can only hold herself tightly and drill her body into the water.
In this case, I don't know why I need hot water, shouldn't it be better to use cold water, cold water can at least reduce the sensitivity of the body.
Fortunately, although the process hurt a little, the result was good.
After the pain ended, Xue Langjing found that every inch of skin on her body was covered with a layer of dirt, so she quickly took a bath.
According to the information provided by the adult, it is good to have dirt, it indicates that the enlightenment is successful, and the impurities in the body are expelled from the body.
After putting on her clothes, Xue Langjing clenched her fists and did a few more sets of movements, and found that her strength was indeed a lot stronger, and after a few sets of actions, it was not as energy-consuming as before.
Judging from the acceptance results, it has indeed been successful.
However, Xue Langjing still felt unsafe, so he picked up his bow again and pulled the bow to try the arrow.
After trying it, I found that the bow, which could not be fully drawn even if I used all my strength, can now be fully drawn without much effort.
Fortunately, it was correct to buy this bow from the blacksmith shopkeeper in the first place, and if it had been replaced with another one, it would have been insufficient now.
Just got the strong power, she really wanted to go to the mountains immediately to try it, to try her current ability, but unfortunately today to go to the county so noisy all day, now the sun has set, to try the arrow can only wait for tomorrow, she can only hold the heart of eagerness to try, first go to tell everyone the results of the enlightenment.
Qiling's success added another weight to Xue Langjing, and she was a little more sure of persuading Xue Grandma to let the sisters recruit trouble.
But even if the persuasion is successful, this money must not be pinned on Xue Grandma and them to take it out, she has to save it herself.
Some time ago, I relied on the silver I took from the descendants of the Xue family, plus the money I earned in more than ten days to buy a bow, and there was no money left.
So far, only one or two pieces of silver have been saved.
And the bride price to be given is several times that of marrying a wife, how can a person get about ten taels of silver, so this may not be able to recruit a good one, if you want a good one, how can you get a dozen taels of silver.
Think about eight dozen taels, life is really difficult!
But she said that she would give it naturally, she can't be ungrateful, without the help of her sisters, now she is afraid that she is already a piece of loess, where can she turn over and be the master of the house.
Well, tomorrow happens to be a large-scale operation of the hunters in the village once every half a month, there are many people, they can go deeper, plus her enlightenment is successful, this time the income must be proper, it is still quite beautiful to think about.
can't go to the mountain, it's hard to get so much time out of the sky in one day, Xue Langjing naturally doesn't want to waste it, so he simply calms down and goes back to the study to read, but he can't get carried away because he has gained strength, reading is still the top priority.
