Chapter 146: The Biggest Dowry
"Mother, don't you have twelve pieces of cloth at home?" Lin Yanniang immediately reminded that there was so much cloth that there was no need to go to the town again.
"You keep the cloth from the Yun family to make clothes in the future, it's all good materials, it's a bit bad to make a quilt, and the quilt is made of fine linen, do you think it's good?"
"It's okay for me, I'm afraid he feels wronged......" Lin Yanniang hesitated.
The quilts at home are all coarse linen materials, and he has lived in the house of his younger brothers for so long, so he has never seen him dislike it.
But this is not to recuperate from injuries or to stay temporarily, but to get married.
To put it mildly, it's the first time, so naturally I don't want to leave any regrets.
Lin Song understood when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then fine cotton material." ”
"Or ask him later, what materials do ordinary people in the customs use, at least they like to be used well, and they can be used to change and wash them."
In the eyes of the poor family, muslin cloth is already a very good cloth, and they are reluctant to make clothes, and it is already good for the family to be able to wear fine linen materials.
"Well, I'll ask in the evening, what else are there at home, don't waste money if you don't need it, just prepare a few things that work." Lin Yanniang agreed, and pondered again.
There must be wedding linings, quilts, furniture and woodware, but the Yun family dragged a lot of furniture and fabrics from the gate.
She glanced at the fabrics, but she didn't care what they were going to do, and the furniture hadn't been put up yet, they were all piled up in the hall.
Therefore, on the basis of the existing items, she will make up for what is still missing, and the family is not well-organized, and she doesn't want to do superfluous things.
At dinner, Lin Yanniang didn't mention these things, but after eating, she motioned to him, and the two went to the new house together.
When the moon is in the sky, the faint moonlight sprinkles on the courtyard, illuminating the half-light and half-dark scene.
Lin Yanniang stood under the eaves, the moonlight stretched her figure and reflected it in the courtyard, her half-constricted eyes looked elegant and deep, but she couldn't hide the edge of the brilliance.
Yun Jingning's eyes were bright, and there was a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, which was difficult to hide.
But he walked slowly and lazily step by step, not wanting to walk too fast, wanting to see more of her little appearance that tried to hide her shyness but tried to pretend to be calm.
"Can't you walk over?" After a while, Lin Yanniang couldn't bear it anymore, raised her eyes and glared at him angrily.
"Here!"
Almost instantly, the man came to the front and looked at her condescendingly, with a smile in his eyes and a sparkling gaze.
"Always on call!" When she wanted to stare again and habitually hide her inner embarrassment, the man murmured again.
"I'm less poor, so I'll ask you to come over and talk about business."
Lin Yanniang blushed, not wanting to be dragged into his rhythm, so she had to ignore his laughter and talk about what she had talked to her mother about before.
"I was negligent." After hearing this, Yun Jingning had an annoyed expression on her face, and suddenly grabbed her hand and held it in her big palm.
"Of course, those fabrics are prepared for marriage, it seems that I forgot to prepare the fabrics for quilts, and I will tell them tomorrow that I will bring them next time."
In addition to fabric, of course, there is also jewelry.
How simple the town is, how poor the people in the village are, of course he knows, although he is married in the village, it is a fact that he Yun Sanye marries, how can it be simple!
"Tell our mother, if the Lin family can marry such a good girl to me, it is the biggest dowry, don't want a dowry, I will let people prepare other things from the customs."
"I won't delay getting married." At the end, he looked at the little girl who couldn't hide her shame in the moonlight, and suddenly added.
"Get out!" Lin Yanniang broke free of her hand suddenly, glared at him, turned her head and ran home.
This guy is obviously in a hurry to get married, but she still says that she hates to marry.
Behind him came the man's happy laughter.
The man didn't follow at once, as if he had walked past him slowly, but stayed for a while before returning.
The breeze is cool in the summer night, but there is no moisture for a long time, and the doors and windows of the house are not closed at night, so it hangs like this, and the evening breeze quietly passes through the window.
Imagine moving here next month, and the fierce little fierce girl will also become his gentle and introverted little daughter-in-law, and the man's heart is happy.
The next day, I got up early and went up the mountain as usual, but today the hunters of Yangping Village did not come, and only 19 people from Daxi Village shuttled through the mountains and forests.
With the experience of the first two days, their actions have become more and more tacit, and their travel speed and direction have become more and more handy.
Today I didn't go to the same place, but walked out slightly biased, and there was still a long way to go from the other end, so I walked back in about time.
No matter which way it is facing, watch the shadow of the sun shift and quickly retreat.
Today's harvest was not much at first, but after changing directions, it got a lot better, but it was about the same as yesterday's harvest, with one less roe deer and more wild boar.
Back at the Lin family, it was really Yunji who came today, and he actually brought some rice grain, bacon, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and so on.
"Although you don't have a kitchen at home, you have to eat three meals, a few of us thought about it yesterday and sold it, and then gave Zhang Luo some food."
Yun Ji explained with a smile, in fact, Yun Jingning wanted to reserve grain, and after the mountain was closed, other families still had their fields to plant, and the Lin family could only buy grain in the village.
Compared with the grain in the "Yun Family's Big Brother Hired", this trip used the grain from the dealer's brothers, and the quantity was also 500 catties of rice, 500 catties of wheat, as well as a bag of wheat noodles and a bag of cornmeal.
As rations, this is a lot of money, and it is all fine food.
"A few of us are also afraid that when Third Brother Yun gets married next month, we won't even have food to entertain the guests, so we will send them together."
Yun Ji's explanation can also dispel the doubts of the people in the village.
Even Lin Yanniang was only full of joy when she saw it, and felt that with these grains, she and her father didn't have to work hard to go to the town to buy it.
Most of the grains they buy in the village are coarse grains, and the fine grains still have to go to the town.
Although Lin Ping'an goes, he will still release some of it, but the price can't be sold, and he is unwilling to sell it if he can't sell it.
Lin Ping'an knew it very well, so he tried not to cause trouble to the people in the village.
The hunters were helping to weigh the scales while they were also talking lively.
Lin Lao Liu counted the money with Lin Ping'an on the side of the hall, and said with a smile that with a reliable son-in-law like Yun San, it was like having an extra pillar in the family, and Yan Niang didn't have to be so tired.
Lin Ping'an smiled happily.
That night, Lin Yanniang cooked a pot of rice, chopped a pheasant and put it in the pot to cook with rice, and sprinkled some sauerkraut.
In this way, the rice is cooked, and the steamed chicken with sauerkraut with the fragrance of rice soup is also made, and the rice is carefully shoveled, and the rice still has the strong aroma of the pheasant sauerkraut sauce.
I fried a side dish and made a bowl of egg skin soup, and there was nothing else, and the family was very happy to eat with such fragrant rice.
Because Lin Yanniang discussed with the man last night, Lin Song didn't go to the town with Lin Ping'an today.
It's just that they discussed, and they couldn't buy cloth and jewelry, so they had to take out twenty taels of silver to make Yan Niang their own body.
The Yun family's cash is twenty taels, and they first wanted to give this cash as a dowry to Yan Niang, but Yan Niang refused to accept it.
Later, as soon as they discussed it, they took it out of the money they had recently accumulated.
The Yun family built a new house and prepared new furniture, but there was not much furniture missing, and the carpenter looked like two or three hundred dollars.
Therefore, the original plan was to buy some cloth and jewelry, and give another twenty taels of silver.
Now they don't need to place cloth and jewelry, so they will only give twenty taels of silver.
Although this money was also earned by Yan Niang herself, and there was even a public account handed over by her son-in-law, but the public account was a public account, and the money for Yan Niang was Yan Niang's private money.
Of course, this will not be discussed with Yan Niang in advance, so that the girl doesn't want anything.
Lin Ping'an and Lin Song discussed it last night, and they couldn't come out today.
This morning, Lin Ping'an went to the house of the hunter in the village and exchanged the silver ticket for the silver ingot.
Recently, there were a lot of silver ingots for hunting, and then a lot of silver tickets were used, and of course the Lin family also had some silver ingots, especially the number of hired by the Yun family.
But those who said they would not use a cent, and now they need to get twelve silver ingots in their hands, and eighty copper coins.
A total of twenty taels, you can also fit a large box.
There are also four shops and four covers, a few pieces of daily woodware, and even a large box containing objects, a total of four people, also cost money.
But this kind of marriage can also make the girl go out beautifully, and she will not be soured by the gossip of the village about the second room of the Lin family.
What's more, looking at the most well-off families in the nearby villages, there is not necessarily so much cash to give.
Lin Ping'an and Lin Song will not talk about the placement of the dowry, and Lin Yanniang is embarrassed to ask more, the family knows that there are only a few days left before the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and they are just busy silently.
The next day, I went up the mountain again, and this time the hunters from Yangping Village also arrived, and there were many people, all saying that they would fight more in Wild Boar Ridge today.
According to the agreement between the two villages, the hunters of Yangping Village told the Tian brothers that they would persuade the hunters of Daxi Village to come back, but the premise was that they traded at the same price as them and did not cause any more trouble.
After all, it is a business, the Tian family has money, the hunters have goods, and no one can do this business without anyone.
The Tian brothers have suffered losses from the dealers in the Guannai, and they have no hunt for many days, and now they just want to get everything back on track as soon as possible, so they naturally respond to them one by one.
On the side of the Kannai dealers, Yunsan made peace with him, and the problem was resolved without any dispute, and from today onwards, he will no longer come to the village to hunt.
Therefore, all the hunts from today will be sent to the Tian family in Xiaxi Village, and everyone is looking forward to catching the tiger, because the price given by the Tian family is indeed higher.
However, there are still no footprints of tigers today, and eighty percent of them are really gone, and everyone feels fortunate in addition to regrets.
