Chapter 221: Blood
The Liu family and Chu Pearl originally planned to wait for the Lu family's bride price to arrive before they began to prepare the dowry.
However, Chu Pearl felt that in this way, I was afraid that it would be too late.
After receiving the letter of appointment and bride price, the Lu family should immediately choose a suitable date to get married. According to Chu Pearl and Liu's ideas, the sooner they marry the Lu family, the better.
So when the time is set, there may not be time to prepare the dowry.
The mother and daughter felt that the dowry needed to be prepared in advance. Chu Pearl is going to marry the Lu family this time, the Lu family is the largest family in this county, not a poor small family, she wants to marry in a beautiful way, although the family background of the Chu family is not as good as the Lu family, but the woman's dowry cannot be ambiguous, otherwise it will make people laugh.
Now they have no money in their hands, but when the dowry is delivered, won't they have it?
For such a large family, gifts are indispensable, even if there are no 1,000 taels of silver, there are always 800 taels of silver
According to this standard, Liu believed that Chu Pearl's dowry should not be less than three hundred taels of silver, so that he could see the past.
In order to prepare the dowry in advance, the Liu family naturally had to discuss with Chu Huaiyuan.
The money in the family was decided by Chu Huaiyuan.
Chu Huaiyuan didn't agree to buy a dowry in advance from the beginning, he didn't have three hundred taels of silver in his hand, which was a large amount.
However, Liu had a lot on his mind.
"Sir, a daughter's dowry is nothing but headdresses, jewels, clothes, cloth, and so on. In addition, we had to buy several sets of furniture, heads, jewelry, furniture, all of which could be customized. Only a small amount of the advance payment will be paid, and the rest will be paid when the work is completed. We pay the deposit now, and when the Lu family gives the bride price, don't we have the money to pay it, master, it's really not easy for our daughter to get married. You are a celebrity in this county. You are naturally the happiest this time, I want to give you, Mingyu, make more clothes, and don't let others look down on us"
Liu's last words were said to Chu Huaiyuan's heart.
In Chu Huaiyuan's life, the most important thing is his face.
He thinks Liu is right. Even if he loses something, he can't lose face. This time, he happened to take advantage of Chu Pearl's marriage day and gained a good reputation
So he took out a hundred taels of silver and asked Liu to use the one hundred taels of silver to buy things, pay a deposit first, and then buy a dowry.
This is a hundred taels of silver, and it is also all Chu Huaiyuan's belongings, and when he takes out the money, he is also very painful.
This 100 taels of silver can buy a very decent small yard in the county seat.
But Chu Huaiyuan also knew that this time Chu Pearl was going to marry the Lu family. As long as he has a close relationship with the Lu family, he will have a good way to make a fortune.
When he was promoted and had power, didn't the money roll in on him like snowflakes?
How much is a hundred taels of silver?
It's well spent
He was in a much better mood.
Even if Chu Mingyu goes out early and returns late every day and gambles in the casino, he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
At that time, Chu Pearl will become the young grandmother of the Lu family, Chu Mingyu is the brother-in-law of the Lu family, the Lu family is very rich, what is the gambling money of the brother-in-law
This person is in a good mood and the whole person is in good spirits.
When the Liu family was busy preparing the dowry, Chu Huaiyuan didn't go home after work every day, he went directly from the yamen to the Rouge Pavilion to find his old friend, Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu is only in her early twenties this year. It was when her skin was white and beautiful that Chu Huaiyuan held her in his arms, thinking that she was many times stronger than Liu.
Chu Huaiyuan and Yan Ruyu have known each other for three or four years, this woman is very skilled in bed, and always makes Chu Huaiyuan as happy as a fairy, so Chu Huaiyuan plans to take her as a concubine.
However, Yan Ruyu is a red card for Rouge Pavilion. If he wanted to redeem her, he would need five hundred taels of silver.
