Chapter 294: Dowry

That night, I picked up the Liu family to come over for dinner together, and it was indispensable to say that Liu Xusheng was doing well in his studies, so that the old people could rest assured.

After resting for a night, Bai Ling went to give gifts to each family, mainly the patriarch and the elder, as well as the village chief's house, and the other good friends also drank a cup of tea, and let the rest be sent by the people from house to house.

If you really want to go through the whole village, Bai Ling has to be tired.

"The eldest sister's dowry is added a little more, those furniture, fabrics or something, don't follow the dowry team, take up too much space, go back and write the dowry list, and when the dowry comes, let people send it over in advance, some large items are directly ordered in the capital, and the materials are also bought in the capital.

We are from a farmer's family, everything is practical, in addition to the auspicious objects that must follow the newcomers, the shop, Zhuangzi and land deeds that have been given to the eldest sister over the years follow the wedding team, the head and antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as silver or something are also placed here.

Although the imperial court does not stipulate how many dowries a woman can marry, the identity of our family is not enough, and there cannot be too many dowries for this dowry, so as not to overpower those high-ranking families and not look good, but to grieve the eldest sister. ”

Now the most important thing in the Bai family is Bai Cao's marriage, and Bai Ling also came up with an idea.

The amount of dowry and dowry, one is to look at the mind, the other is to look at the identity, there is no explicit provision, but it is also determined to be customary, and Bai Ling is helpless.

"If I am wronged by such a dowry, it is estimated that those real daughters will not dare to show the dowry. Just talking about this jewelry, I am afraid that the best dowry in the city can't be worth it. Bai Cao pressed the corner of his eye, he understood it in his heart, and he was very moved.

The marriage is scheduled for the sixth day of March next year, and the weather will be warmer by then, and the newlyweds will not be guilty.

If it weren't for the fear that the dowry would not be fully prepared, Yang Fan would hate to get married at the end of the year, this is still an auspicious day that was chosen after several days of discussion, and then it will be the end of the year.

"Cao'er, what do you say?" Bai Liu asked Bai Cao, but he didn't make the decision at the first time.

"Just do what the second sister said." White Grass nodded.

The dowry list is on it, and it doesn't matter when it is sent.

Besides, let the caravan be sent over in batches, or order it directly in the capital, which also slows down the team to send relatives and reduces the sin on the road.

Bai Sanshu was listening on the side, but there was no chance for him to interject, it was really a few mothers to discuss, and with Aunt Fu and Mrs. Ya on the side to assist, Bai Sanshu seemed redundant.

"Our family used to be poor, and when Cao'er was born, she didn't bury her daughter's red, or add some fruit wine and medicinal wine, I heard that this is a hot commodity in the capital." Bai Sanshu scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and finally found a chance to speak.

"Dad's idea is good, in the future, our sisters will get married, and we will all do it. However, Brother Yang was born in the army, and I wrote a letter to Duan Gongzi when I went back, asking him to find some famous spirits and send them to Yang's house in advance. ”

Bai Ling really didn't expect this stubble before, it was really too cumbersome for the dowry of the ancients.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you don't need.

"That's it." Bai Sanshu was satisfied, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go to the workshop for a walk, I haven't been there in the past few days, so I have to keep an eye on it." ”

Bai Sanshu's careful thinking, the mother and daughter naturally understood it, and laughed for a while after waiting for them to leave.

"When the eldest girl gets married, although the husband's family is simple, it is indispensable to reward the subordinates, and the slave and maid have already instructed to let the girls in the house take the time to sew more purses." Aunt Fu smiled.

"Yes, but I didn't think about it, big families are particular, and you have to put money in your purse." Bai Liushi sighed, and said: "Go back and reward the girls with some silver, you can't let the big guy work in vain." ”

Aunt Fu answered, glanced at Mrs. Ya, and whispered in Bai Liu's ear.

Although the Bailiu clan had given birth to a few children, she still couldn't help blushing, so she said, "Aunt Fu'er Ming'er will go to the county town to buy it, and pick it up." ”

The sisters didn't know why, but seeing Bai Liu's uncomfortable appearance, they were embarrassed to ask more.

After all, Bai Cao went through personnel, and soon blushed, Bai Ling couldn't think about it anymore, so he quickly diverted the topic.

"The eldest sister has a lot of dowry, jewelry, jade, and porcelain are afraid of bumping, so I have to find someone to break the box quickly. There are also some trivial things, and they have to be done quickly, my mother has been busy recently, so leave the affairs of the family to me. ”

Bai Ling's face was natural, trying not to think about what the ancient villain book was like, for fear that he would blush, which could not be explained.

"Little sister just study hard with Mrs. Ya, you are still young, and you are not in a hurry to get started with these things. The eldest sister wants to embroider a wedding dress, and the embroidery workshop is not a matter of urgency, so she will let the people below be busy, but she has to be driven out in advance, and she has to be sent to the capital at the end of February. ”

"The second girl is right, what should you do, the second girl has been out in the wild for so long, and it is time to do something for the family." Bai Liu's clan still glared at Bai Ling when he spoke.

This is also a person who is about to get married, and he still runs outside if he has nothing to do, and it will be difficult to go back to his parents' house when he gets married in the future.

I always thought that Bai Ling would really recruit her, so Bai Liu's clan didn't stop her, which would be regretted.

Bai Ling touched his nose and didn't make a sound, nor did he respond to the teasing eyes of the Bai Cao sisters.

When the Bai family wants to marry a daughter, they actually start preparing more than half a year in advance, and when they have valuable items at home, many people guess how much silver their family can give up to buy a dowry.

However, there are many people who envy Baicao, and they actually married in the capital, and the husband is still a promising young general, which is really enviable.

But the daughter of the Bai family married so well, which also makes people wonder whether the sisters in the back will all marry to the capital.

Zhang Wangcai's family regretted quitting his relatives without mentioning it, but the Chu family was ruined and their intestines were green.

"I don't know what grandpa thinks, seeing that the third room is developed, I told my grandfather that our family Chuwen has taken a fancy to the girl of the Bai family, but grandpa has to say that we are a family of scholars, and we can't marry a mud leg who does business. This will be a member of the family, Bai Ling is still a county lord, Bai Cao's second marriage is married to the official family, and Bai Wei is left to see that the age is right, but can people still marry into a farmer's family? ”

Chu Wenniang has been bored with work recently, and she was reprimanded by her mother-in-law, saying that she was lazy and didn't work, and complained to her husband when she returned to the house.

"Okay, there is no drama on the Bai family's side, and our family Chu Wen is also capable, so I don't have to worry about not being able to marry a good daughter-in-law in the future." Chu Wen's father was also troubled, but he didn't want to listen to his mother-in-law's nagging, so he pushed her.

"Well, I'm an outsider in this house, as if I was cheating on him. My mother has been chatting with me openly and secretly these days, wanting me to ask about the meaning of the third room, and I see that my mother also wants to marry the Bai family. Go back and tell your mother yourself, I can't do this, you have to let the next person pass it on to the third room, if you don't do it well, you will offend people, and what will happen in the future. ”

Chu Wenniang was unhappy in her heart, and her tone of voice was not good.

Chu Wen's father turned over angrily, not wanting to deal with her, but he was thinking about whether he could let Chu Wen marry Bai Wei.

Bai Ling is now the county lord, and Chu Wen's father naturally doesn't dare to make up his mind, but if he can marry Bai Wei, even if they don't have a chance to study, they will have the right to speak at home in the future.
