Zhulan put down the needle and went out, Dong held the box in his hand, and Zhulan motioned for Dong to sit, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Dong put the box on the table and opened it, and took out the title deed inside, "Mother, this is the field that my father gave me to marry in Lijia Village, fifty acres, I heard Xianggong say, our family divided the field to the people of Lijia Village to help grow food, I want to ask my mother to help me find someone to ask, is anyone willing to help farm?" ”

Zhulan glanced at the fields, the name is under the name of the Dong family, these fields Dong has to pay their own taxes, and the taxes paid by the fifty acres of fields are a lot, she and Zhou Shuren dare to do this, that is Zhou Shuren's confidence in Zhongju.

Dong's is a pure dowry, and he has to run it himself, and how much he will operate in the future is his own money, Zhulan wants to explain it, "Your field has paid taxes and helped to grow grain, and there is nothing left in the good year, and there is not much left in the good year, and you can make a lot of silver in a year, you can think about it." ”

Dong's also calculated, but she was too young, Xianggong was not even a showman, according to the regulations of this dynasty, she could not use slaves, there was no one in charge, Xianggong had to study again, although he made a lot of money, but with the support of his father and mother, no one dared to be greedy for her food, and she was also happy to save trouble, "Mother, I have figured it out, I and Xianggong are young, it is nothing to earn less, we are also trying to save worry." ”

Zhulan thought to herself, the three daughters-in-law, except for the Li family, the other two are all people with big ideas, "Since you have figured it out, my mother asked your father to ask, and I will talk about it when you come back tomorrow." ”

Dong Shi thanked: "Thank you, mother." ”

"It's all family, you're welcome."

Dong picked up the box, "Mother, then I'll go back to the yard." ”

"Go ahead."

Dong went out with the box, believed the words of the father-in-law, tried not to get to the mother's side, the father-in-law didn't like it, she thought when she came, the father-in-law was reading in the study, but she didn't expect to be in the house, although I didn't see it, I also knew, if the father-in-law didn't read in the house, the mother just let her in.

Zhulan's study is a furnishing for Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren is not an ancient person, he prefers to read books at will, reading books is already tiring to the brain, and he is tired of nesting in the study, but he is still lying down comfortably.

Zhulan went back to the house and told Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren said that he knew that he would hand it over to the boss, this matter is a good thing for Lijia Village, no need to pay taxes, as long as you help with farming, there will be food, last time Zhulan's family of sixty acres of land, many people asked when Zhulan's family would buy land again, and they all hoped to help farm.

It's a pity that Dong's field is near Lijia Village, and if it is in Zhoujia Village, it can also benefit Zhou's poor relatives.

Dong went back to the house, Xianggong went to study, she sorted out the marriage, now she is not a young lady, she has to tidy up by herself, fortunately she is mentally prepared, comforted herself, and tidied up.

The cloth came according to the number of dowries, and they were put away in different categories, and when the washbasin and shelves were given as dowry, the mother-in-law had already taken them out and put them in the new house.

The main thing is to pick out the jewelry that can be brought at present, and put the rest away, some of the headdresses are not what her white lady can bring, and the mother prepared in advance for the future.

It's all sorted out, and it's quite fulfilling.

Finally, there are two boxes of silver ingots, two hundred taels per box, a total of four hundred taels, and a small box of gold ingots fifty taels, of which two hundred taels of silver is the original dowry, and the father and mother are married seven hundred taels on the face, and privately stuffed a thousand taels of silver tickets.

The total value of her dowry is three thousand taels.

The dowry has the makeup given by the sister, mainly the jewelry, and the brother and sister-in-law really don't give much, because the brother and sister-in-law know that as an old woman, the father and mother will definitely not give less to the dowry.

In fact, her marriage can have more, but her sister remarries her brother-in-law, in order not to be looked down upon, her father gave half of her family background to her sister in one go, when she was not big, her mother taught her to be a housekeeper, don't look at the Dong family's thick background, but several brothers are looking at it, and the annual expenses are large, and there is really not much money saved in a year.

Dong didn't know, the window of the study was open, Chang Lian had been standing by the window and watching, Chang Lian was observing his wife's temperament, seeing that Dong was busy, and he didn't complain, Chang Lian was happy, he could endure hardships, not squeamish, he liked his wife more and more, got up and added water to the kettle, and took the tea leaves out to make tea, and when Dong came back, he could drink tea to quench his thirst, and there was hot water to wash his face and hands.

Zhulan didn't know that the newlyweds were testing each other, and she was preparing the return gift for the Dong family tomorrow.

Zhou Shuren contributed his hand-copied book, which Jiangnan brought back, not on the bookshelf of the county master, Zhulan moved out the screen that the second sister-in-law gave her, this is still Zhou Shuren for the Yang family to change the opportunity, the eldest brother and the second brother expressed their gratitude, the eldest brother sent the ginseng he found, the second brother because Zhulan likes the screen, the second sister-in-law embroidered the screen, because it took too much effort, and it was sent over during the New Year.

These two things are not bad, Zhulan added the leftover mutton from the wedding banquet, and some others, making up enough of six things, which clearly gave Dong's face and also expressed Zhulan's satisfaction with this daughter-in-law.

At noon, Zhao's eyes were a little red and swollen, Zhou Laoer's eyes were red and bloodshot, obviously, Zhulan not only touched Zhao, but also Zhou Laoer, Zhou Laoer, as a man, naturally wanted to give his wife the best, but it was a daughter-in-law who exchanged food for food, and his mother didn't like Zhao at the beginning, he didn't dare to mention it, and then his mother didn't talk to Zhao, he also wanted to keep a low profile, and planned to wait for the child to grow up.

Now that his mother has mentioned it himself, he feels heartwarming, his mother is the same as his father, although he doesn't say words of concern, he has always cared about them with his actions, so his mother must live longer than his father, not that he is not filial to his father, but he feels more and more that if his mother leaves first, he doesn't have to worry that his father is not his father, and he is afraid that his father will be gone.

Daddy's strength is rare, no matter how you look at it, he can do the funeral thing, he has dreamed of this scene several times, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to sleep for several nights, so such a good mother must live a long life.

Zhulan felt Zhou Laoer's admiration, and the Zhao family also had the posture of treating her as her mother, well, it was not in vain that she bothered to worry about it.

The next day, the Dong family returned to the door, and when the Dong family saw the return ceremony, Zhulan was moved again.

went out and took the carriage that the Dong family came to pick up, Dong lowered his voice and said to the prime minister: "I will definitely be as good to my mother as my mother in the future." ”

Mother's return gift, not only to give her face, but also to give her mother's face, this home, there must be a lot of people in the family, there are blessings to her, there are special to see the jokes, who has a few bad people, her family is really a lot.

Chang Lian chuckled, looked down at the little head and said seriously, how could he think it was so cute, and couldn't help pinching his daughter-in-law's face, "I believe you." ”

Dong's face turned red, except for being hugged by Xianggong for a night in the cave room, they had no intimate actions, but why did she think Xianggong looked good when he smiled, Dad had no vision for picking a husband for the eldest sister, and the brother-in-law still came to the door by himself, but I didn't expect that Dad was very discerning in picking a husband for her!
