Chapter 72: Dowry
Gu Pingyong turned around and said, "The second family of the ninth junior high school Qiuru is married, do you want to go out and have a look, let Ze Shun carry you." ”
"Look." The old man nodded and said with a smile, "Look, how rare it is for a great-granddaughter to get married, these children and grandchildren will have a little less at a glance." ”
"Okay, I see."
When he went out, Gu Kaiming let out a long sigh, the boss's temperament couldn't change, it was really difficult for him to get along with the second child, and he had to talk to the second child a lot.
He just said that, it was really for the good of the boss, the child just doesn't make people worry, no matter how old he is.
Later, Gu Pingzhang also came over, and said happily, "Dad, the day after tomorrow, Qiuru will get married, if your body and bones can be completed, I will let Tiancheng and the two brothers carry you over, and have a good time." ”
Gu Kaiming smiled and said, "Go, I'll go, watching Qiuru get married, the girl is about to get married, I always feel that she is still young." ”
Gu Pingzhang said, "The girls are seventeen, not small, it's time to get married." ”
"It's big, the kids are older, I'm old, it's not a few days." Gu Kaiming said with emotion.
At this time, the medical conditions were not good, and there were too few people who could live to the age of eighty.
But the bones of the body are really not good, I am tired when I walk two steps, and my legs hurt, so I can only sit.
If it weren't for the filial piety of his children and grandchildren, such an old man's life would be very hard, and he would not be able to live.
Gu Pingzhang said, "Dad, don't say that, you are in good health, and God bless them to marry their daughters-in-law." ”
Gu Kaiming smashed his mouth, "Second brother, I know you have a good temperament, and you always endure your eldest brother messing with you, or that sentence, when I am gone, you can let him do more, you are brothers in the end." ”
"I have only three children in my life, the girl is married far away, I haven't seen each other for many years, just the two of you are in front of me, I can rest assured that you two brothers are good, can it be done?"
Gu Pingzhang smiled and nodded, "Dad, when will I not treat you anymore, you are good, don't think about this." ”
After staying here for a long time before going out, he met Gu Pingyong at the gate, Gu Pingzhang shouted, "Big brother, the day after tomorrow, I will let Tiancheng carry my father." ”
Gu Pingyong nodded, "That's it, Tiancheng is young and strong, and he has a lot of strength." ”
"Hmm." Gu Pingzhang didn't want to say anything, but remembered Gu Kaiming's words just now, and said, "Big brother, there is only a girl in Qiuru in our family, and she wants to do a better job when she gets married, so I didn't ask Tianyang and his mother to comb her hair, don't take it to heart." ”
He took the initiative to apologize, and Gu Pingyong didn't hold it, "Cheng, I also understand that this matter is over." ”
On the way home, Gu Pingzhang thought about it and shook his head.
He knew that his father just wanted the two brothers to get along in harmony, but it was impossible at all, the eldest brother was too calculating, and now he could barely get along, that was because he was afraid of his father, and he was afraid that his father would feel uncomfortable.
If Dad leaves one day, the two brothers don't know what will happen.
On the eighth day of the new year, the dowry will be sent to the groom's house, and this dowry must be given before marriage, and at the latest it will be the day before marriage.
Xuan, as a good wife, should dress up appropriately today, follow the dowry team to the bridegroom's house to make the bed and spread the tent, and then let the children and virgins play in the new house, and the children can sit on the wedding bed, which is called sitting tent, and adults must not sit.
Qiuru's family affair was decided in August last year, and the family has two sons, which is very important, so the family affair must be well prepared.
The wedding date was set last year, and the new house was repaired over there, new furniture was made, and everything was new, which was also satisfactory to Qiuru, otherwise she would not have paid so much attention to it.
When the hour came, Xuan walked in front with a few children.
Because of Du's words, today's Zilong Zijie also went with him, Siqi wanted to see the excitement, and the Xuan family also took her with him, so the Lin family brought four children.
The Gu family found a few more, including Gu Pingyong's two grandsons, Tianyang and Tianliang, and Qiuru's younger brother Tianyou also followed, this is his own brother.
The family's surname is Chen, and they are considered to be a big family in Chenjiagou, with more than 100 acres of land at home, and the old couple is very good at work, and they are stunned to run it well.
The eldest is the groom, named Chen Mao, who is a scholar, and has a younger brother, who is ten years old this year, and is also studying.
The Gu family also valued it very much, tried their best to take out the best dowry, invited many people in the village to help carry the dowry, and walked on the road to arouse the envy of many people.
The mother's family values it, and the mother-in-law's family also likes it, Qiuru's family business is really beautiful.
At this time, it is not easy for a woman to have such decency, and many villagers can only get two quilts to marry their daughters, and their mother-in-law can't give anything.
Qiuru's dowry is very richly prepared, and there are various categories, which are all good wishes from her mother's family.
The dowry is the last thing that the girl takes away from her mother's house, and it is also her face after she arrives at her mother-in-law's house, even if she is married, the dowry belongs to her, and the mother-in-law's family has no way to encroach on it, otherwise it can be theorized by the official government.
This is a guarantee given by the mother's family, all aspects must be prepared, food and clothing, and silver must be prepared if the family conditions are good.
Qiuru's dowry was lifted eight times, and the front was a large piece, a dowry box, a few camphor wood boxes, and barrels and wooden basins, which had a nice name, called the descendant bucket and cornucopia.
The back is some small pieces, specially bought dragon and phoenix bowls and chopsticks, their own embroidered dragon and phoenix quilts, clothes, sewing baskets, etc.
There are also grains and vegetables in the back, as long as they are available at home, they are all prepared, and all parties are taken care of, so that the girl can marry and not lack things.
This is all with a beautiful meaning, and the eight dowries, everything is done with thought, which is already very enviable in the countryside.
Many people gathered on the side of the road to watch the excitement, and some of them who had already married were compared with when they got married.
But my mother's family is like that, I can't let my father and mother smash the pot and sell iron for the dowry, right?
There are also little girls who are not married, and when they are fourteen or fifteen years old, the girls will begin to fantasize about their marriage.
Looking at Qiuru's dowry at this time, everyone is wondering in their hearts, and they don't know if they were so beautiful when they got married.
Meng Shan and the others were also watching on the side of the road, and when the dowry passed, Wanrong smiled and said, "Qiu Ru is a blessed one, Second Brother Gu and they really value this girl." ”
Meng Shan nodded, she herself was about to say goodbye, if nothing happened, she should be able to settle this year, and she didn't know what kind of person she would marry, and how the family would prepare a dowry for her.
