Chapter 223: Win by Quantity
"In that case, let's talk about the dowry of hibiscus." Meng Zhen is also a shrewd person, and Aunt Guo's attitude has changed, and Meng Zhen has already seen it quietly.
She found out the identity deed of Mu Hibiscus, "I'll get this to the yamen sales file later, so that Mu Hibiscus is a real civilian woman." ”
"As for Hibiscus's dowry, except for the little personal belongings she has saved in my family over the years, I am going to give her another ten acres of land."
The fields Meng Zhen has already thought about coming out of those fields in Yulin Village, which is both worry-free and trouble-free.
Meng Zhen has a total of 40 acres of land in Yulin Village, in addition to the 10 acres of upper fields for Mu Hibiscus to marry, the remaining 30 acres of middle fields, Meng Zhen is ready to give Guo Xinger as a makeup gift before Guo Xinger gets married.
Meng Hao didn't want to bother taking care of these bits and pieces of land now, and when she had that time, she would rather look for a Zhuangzi near the county seat that was relatively better managed.
"Of course, other things such as cages, bedding, pillows, buckets and basins, I will also help her buy some according to custom."
As soon as Meng Zhen said this, Aunt Guo's feeling of "picking up a treasure" suddenly became even stronger.
In the past, Guo Yang set a family affair, and she felt that with the thriving strength of the two of them, her son would definitely be able to set a good family affair that would not lose to Guo Yang in the future.
When Guo Song proposed to marry Hibiscus, Aunt Guo thought that she was completely wrong.
Who knew that things were turning around, Meng Hao not only agreed to her excessive requests, but also actively helped Mu Hibiscus prepare the dowry.
Ten acres of land as a dowry, looking at the entire Yulin Village, no one's daughter-in-law has a rich dowry as her daughter-in-law.
Not to mention that Meng Zhen also had to buy a full set of dowries for Mu Hibiscus according to custom, and those things were worth a lot of silver.
In this way, Aunt Guo's worries that the villagers would see his family's jokes were also solved.
How did she know that Meng Hao actually planned to marry Mu Hibiscus a few pieces of silver jewelry, but Meng Zhen planned to let Mu Hibiscus keep them as a private house, so naturally she would not put them on the table at this time.
Second Aunt Guo left the Su family satisfied, but Meng Zhen began to help Mu Hibiscus prepare for marriage with great interest.
Hollyhock, who was originally worried that she had no chance to perform, was also busy this time, and Meng Hao directly assigned her to Mu Hibiscus, and asked her to help Mu Hibiscus prepare clothes, bedding and other dowries that need to be sewn by hand.
As soon as Hollyhock saw Meng Hao's posture, she knew that the status of hibiscus in Meng Hao's heart was even higher than she expected, which made Hollyhock immediately make up her mind to show her diligence and ability in front of Hibiscus.
Her needlework is not as good as hibiscus, and she naturally can't do it when she needs embroidery, but after she came to Su's house, she learned the process of cutting and sewing with the hosta.
In addition, this girl also had a certain foundation in needlework before, and the things that the hosta taught her, she quickly mastered and practiced.
Now that she has decided to perform well, this girl is naturally really working hard.
She brings out her best skills, and spends most of her day helping with hibiscus cutting and sewing.
And the hosta is because she undertakes most of the work around Meng Hao, so she can only take part of the time to help Hibiscus do some work every day with Begonia.
These two embroidery skills are very good, but the hosta is quiet, usually when there is nothing to do, they are basically hiding in the room to kill time, but Begonia is a person who likes to run inside and out, the craftsmanship is good, but when she really settles down to embroider, it is extremely rare.
This time, it was because Hibiscus was about to get married, and Begonia, who was taken care of a lot by her, rarely calmed down.
***
At the beginning of July, Meng Hao and Su Shen sent away Mrs. Shen, who was finally willing to go back to Guangningwei.
Since Mrs. Shen had greeted them half a month in advance, Meng Zhen and Su Shen had enough time to prepare the local tuyi for Mrs. Shen this time.
The two spent about ten days searching for a lot of things separately and asked Mrs. Shen to take them back to Guangningwei.
The material conditions of Guangningwei are far inferior to Ninghai County, and they are collected by two people, which are basically very practical and basically not available in Guangningwei.
Mrs. Shen did not follow the usual practice to be polite to Meng Zhen and Su Shen, and Mrs. Shen still wanted to accept the children's filial piety.
You must know that in the past ten years, she has always wanted to enjoy how intimate her daughter is, but she has never been able to realize this wish.
Now that she has finally found her biological daughter, doesn't Mrs. Shen want to feel her daughter's filial piety to herself.
So in the end, when Mrs. Shen went back to Guangningwei, she took more than twice as many carts with her as she had brought them at the beginning.
It was also thanks to Mrs. Shen that she had sent a message to General Shen in advance, asking him to send Shen Weide to bring someone to pick it up, otherwise Su Shen and Meng Hao would not have enough manpower to escort these things.
Of course, these two also got the news that Shen Weide was about to come over to greet Mrs. Shen in advance, so they opened up all kinds of unscrupulous buying.
When they became unscrupulous, Shen Weide's burden suddenly became a lot greater.
"You guys are too exaggerated, I won't say anything about supplements, medicinal herbs, wine, tea, mountain goods, and cloth, why are you piling up rice noodles, vegetable oil (vegetable oil), jerky, meat sauce, dried fruits, pickles, bean curd and other things?"
"And this dried meat, sausage, salted fish, what is this new thing?"
Shen Weide, who got a thick stack of gift lists, couldn't help but start complaining after casually scanning them twice.
"We make these things ourselves, and my mother knows how to eat them." Meng Zhen also felt that her and Su Shen's gift-giving method was a bit cheap, but what could she do? She didn't have anything of value to come up with.
Besides, Guangningwei doesn't lack these things! They call it a special delivery to the real needs of people, and there is nothing wrong with it!
While silently cheering herself up, Meng Hao looked at Shen Weide innocently and blinked.
Shen Weide didn't know where to start complaining.
"Okay, your sister didn't let you bring the vegetables back, you should be content, you are still picking and choosing here, do you want your mother and me to bring two baskets of vegetables back to Guangningwei?"
Mrs. Shen's threatening words made Shen Weide immediately forget to complain about Meng Zhen's "win by quantity".
Meng Hao looked embarrassed, "Mother, I'm not a durable vegetable like eggplant and zucchini!" Even if you can't bring it back to Guangningwei, it's very good for you to cook and eat on the way. ”
It's not that Meng Hao wants to make up the number with cheap things, but on the way from Ninghai County to Guangningwei, many times they don't have an inn to live in.
When you need to set up camp and cook your own cooking, aren't vegetables very necessary?
Meng Zhen also wanted to make Mrs. Shen feel more comfortable on the road.
