Tea, but it is a whole ten boxes of tea with very elegant packaging.

Zhuang people are not interested in tea, if there are guests at home, it is excellent to make a bowl of sugar water. Something like tea, expensive and not applicable, that is, it will be used when getting married, generally the man's family goes to the tea house to buy two taels, wraps it in oil paper and puts it in the dowry to play a role, no one minds whether it is more or less, and what the character is.

In the eyes of the villagers, tea is a very high-level thing, and no one will be too much. Now the Zheng family has sent a full ten boxes, all of which are packed in bright red painted porcelain urns, just by looking at this, you can know that this tea is not cheap, and it is not at the same level as the oil paper package.

"Oh, Mom, there is so much tea, our family has to drink it every day until the year after tomorrow, right?" Guo Lin rubbed his hands excitedly, took out a porcelain urn and carefully opened the lid, and suddenly a quiet fragrance of tea penetrated into his nostrils.

Guo Lin's eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece of tea and threw it into his mouth: "Good tea, more fragrant than the Biluochun I drank in Fang's shop." ”

During these days, he learned to do business with the shopkeeper of the Fang family, and Guo Lin could be regarded as having seen the world. The tea used to entertain guests in Fang's shop is not only the best, but also a good tea, and usually one pound of tea is enough for the average person to spend for a year.

Now the tea sent by the Zheng family is even better than this, and the price must be higher. The tea in these ten porcelain urns is half a catty, which adds up to five catties, and it costs twenty taels of silver, to say the least.

As soon as he heard that these teas were worth so much silver, Mu immediately snatched the porcelain urn in the hands of his second son, sealed it intact and put it in the box anew, and did not forget to warn his wife and son, who were staring at these teas with bright eyes: "We will keep half of these teas, and the remaining half will wait for Mianmian to return to the door, and return the gift as a gift, you can not mess around." ”

According to customs, all these tea ceremonies belong to the Guo family, if there are two boxes of them, the Mu family must stay with a clear conscience, and she will not be very good at the whole ten boxes. Besides, if you stay, you can't drink it for a while, isn't it in vain to put the mold?

Thinking of this, Mu Shi couldn't help but feel pain: "Ah Rin, this kid is also a person who doesn't total, and this silver didn't fall from the sky, so no matter how thick the family background is, it can't withstand such a usage!" ”

After that, she specially told her daughter: "When you get married, if Ah Rin lets you be in charge, you will be in charge, if you don't mention this stubble, you will keep an eye on him, don't let him spend money on it, if you have a child in the future, there will be more places to spend money!" ”

Half a sentence in front, Guo Mianmian was very appreciative, and couldn't stop nodding yes, and when she heard the half sentence on the back, she looked confused: "Mother, you have not yet married and you have all the children, you always think far away!" ”

Mu didn't think that he was wrong, and when he saw his daughter say this, he retorted: "Where did my mother think far away? Kunkun is so old and doesn't have to worry about you having a baby, and Rin's age is not too young, if you can get pregnant as soon as you get married, it will be great news. ”

Guo Mianmian had a headache, and knew that he owed Heng to his mother, so he changed the topic and pointed to the ten big boxes in front of him and said: "Brother Zheng is not stupid, he will not be unsuccessful in doing things, and half of these dowries are planned by his aunt, I am afraid that the store will fool me to buy so much tea, you really don't have to worry that Brother Zheng will lose his family and starve your daughter and me to death." ”

Mu didn't know that half of the ten dowry gifts were placed by the Meng family, and when he heard his daughter say this, he said meaningfully: "Your Aunt Meng has no bad intentions, but the nature is a little softer and easy to fool, and in the future, you will watch from the side, and see what is wrong and it is not easy to tell her, so you will tell Ah Rin, there is nothing difficult to talk to between their sons and mothers." ”

Knowing that his mother was taking the opportunity to teach her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law how to get along, Guo Mianmian listened very carefully without relevant resumes, and after carefully thinking about it, she thought that what her mother said was indeed reasonable, so she silently remembered it in her heart: "Well, I remember everything you said, rest assured!" ”

Then, Guo Lin and the others, under the expression of the Mu family, opened the remaining nine large boxes one by one.

There are five boxes filled with snacks, sugar, wine, fruits, etc., these things are very applicable, especially wine, full of three chests, and on the day of the wedding, it is enough to entertain guests. The same is true for the rest, and the Guo family hardly has to buy another one.

Of the remaining four boxes, two were filled with cloth of various colors. One box is fine cotton, and the other box is brocade. Not to mention the fine cotton for the time being, the price of this box of brocade alone is no less than the box of tea gifts at the beginning, which makes the Mu family feel a pain again, and he can't wait to rush to the Zheng family immediately to give the quasi-half-son a lesson in financial management.

When he saw the things covered under the red cloth of the penultimate box, Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help but praise: "Brother-in-law really has a heart, even Ye'er's four-season clothes have been planned." ”

But no, there were boxes full of all kinds of clothes, including shoes and socks. Several people took a careful inventory and found that there were two sets of clothes in each of the four seasons, and Guo Mianmian didn't have to add clothes to himself before these clothes, shoes and socks were worn out.

"Well, it's good, look at the size is suitable, Ah Rin really has a heart!" Mu Shi smiled from ear to ear, the things in front of her didn't care about the amount of money spent, she was also freehand, but she didn't have the Ruyi from this box of clothes.

Guo Mianmian also looked at a set of clothes, shoes and socks, and found that the color and style of her porridge were as sweet as honey. This care and dedication is indeed very valuable.

When several women kept praising Zheng Rin around a box of clothes, Guo Lin's eyes had already focused on the last box. I saw that there were several simple and delicate wooden boxes neatly placed in the box, and the wooden boxes were engraved with beautiful markings and a few unrecognizable words, which made people think that what was contained in it was not an ordinary thing.

Guo Lin looked at the boxes and didn't know how to do it. Or Guo Shu couldn't bear the curiosity, so he picked up a big one-foot-square box on the top, pinched the copper tether on it, and opened it carefully.

Placed in the box is a complete pair of silver heads.

Guo Shu took a breath, and suddenly felt that the box in his hand was heavy, and after a cursory glance, he immediately closed it and put it in the big box, without looking at the wooden box underneath.

These boxes have the same color and color, the same markings, and when you look at the first box, you will know that the bottom is also full of heads. These six or seven boxes contained six or seven sets of heads, and even if everything was silver, it was also piled up with white silver.

"Big brother, what's in it?" Shicai Guo Lin shook his head and didn't see what was in the box. Seeing that the eldest brother looked serious, he thought it was something amazing, so he reached out to get the box while asking.

"Don't move, it's all Ye'er's head here, let her open it for herself." Guo Shu stopped his younger brother's movements and didn't let him take out the box.

As soon as he heard that it was a woman's head, Guo Lin suddenly lost his fun, just looking at these boxes full of boxes, he couldn't help but bite his ear with his eldest brother: "Tsk, Ah Rin will welcome our sister, this box of clothes, a box of head noodles is thrown out, and our sister can't stand it even if it has no effect on him." ”

Guo Shu glared at his younger brother and said angrily: "This is a piece of Ah Rin's heart for Ye'er, and your taste has changed when you say this." ”

"Don't shout, don't shout, I'm just casually talking, I really don't have any advice for Rin's brother-in-law." Guo Lin hurriedly defended himself, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings: "Our family is not bad now, and Ye'er's eyelids are not so shallow, I also think that Ah Rin's heart is precious, and I think that he will be better to him in the future." ”

"Well, that's not even close." Guo Shu was freehand, and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, which was very gratifying.

After Guo Mianmian sorted out the new clothes and put them in the box, his eyes also moved to the back box. Seeing that the box had been opened, and it contained wooden boxes of the same size, Guo Mianmian vaguely guessed what it was, so he took out a box and opened it.

"Hey, why isn't it a color?" Guo Shu took a look, and immediately found that the contents were different from the box he opened, and couldn't help but shout.

Guo Shu's shout confused the attention of the Mu clan and the others. When they saw the yellow gold ornaments in the box that Guo Mianmian was holding, they unconsciously opened their mouths wide.

Next, the boxes were opened by Guo Mianmian one by one. Of the seven boxes in the box, six of the boxes contained the entire head and face, two pairs of gold, silver and jade. A box pressed at the bottom contained a box of silver, a total of sixty-six taels, needless to say, these are the Zheng family's dowry.

"Mom, this bride price and these dowry gifts add up, to say the least, it will cost three hundred taels of silver, shouldn't Rin empty the entire family belongings?" Guo Shu wiped a handful of sweat that didn't exist on his forehead and asked depressedly.

The rest of the people were also worried about this question, but Guo honestly, who looked at them and didn't say anything about the dowry, replied with a smile: "Most of these dowries are for Mianmian as a dowry, what are you doing with so much care?" ”

When the people heard this, they thought it was very reasonable. The family will not ignore these dowries, and many of them have changed hands and moved from the Zheng family to their daughters (sisters). In the future, the daughter (sister) will be a member of the Zheng family, aren't these things used in the Zheng family? At the mercy of the Zheng family, it is not a loss.

Thinking of this, the uneasiness in the people's anger dissipated, and Guo Lin immediately made a fuss about Guo Mianmian: "Sister, this time you will make a little rich woman, and if Ah Rin is not very good to you in the future, you will throw these things at him." ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Lin hit the back of his head, and it was naturally Mu's who hit him: "Crow's mouth, don't open your mouth if you can't speak." ”

Facing his mother's angry eyes, Guo Lin also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly begged his mother for mercy: "Mother, I was wrong, I will consolidate it next time!" You have a lot of adults, save some face for your son, and the children will look at it. ”

After that, he pretended to be fierce and glared at his little nephew, who was smiling very happily, and flicked his forehead with his fingers.

Xiaoshan covered his forehead and complained to the Mu family pitifully: "Grandma, the second uncle beat me~"

Compared to the son who just said the wrong thing, the current Mu family is more porridge and little grandson, so she gave Guo Lin another look, and then touched Xiaoshan's head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be bitter, grandma has avenged you." ”

"Thank you grandma, grandma is amazing!" Xiaoshan did not hesitate to thank his grandmother, and made a grimace at the second uncle.

"Little rabbit cub-" Guo Lin pretended to be angry and stretched out his hand and slammed Xiaoshan's skull, but his face was full of respect for the junior.

The family is happy, but no one has selfish intentions about this dowry, and even the Yu family and the Liu family thought that the dowry they had given Guo Mianmian before was a little insufficient, and proposed to their mother-in-law whether to add more.

Mu thought that his two sons and wives knew the general situation, and he was very happy in his heart. Except for those tea ceremonies, drinks and other things, the rest had to be used as a dowry for their daughters, which looked very face-saving, which could not only block the mouths of others, but also not let their own family lose the reputation of selling their daughters, so they did not agree to add more, but secretly decided to give it
