On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, on the day of Zheng Youyan's marriage, Ming He, Chen Bai and the Ming family began to help the Zheng family after breakfast, and other relatives of the Zheng family began to come to the door one after another to send Zheng Youyan to get married.

Zheng Youyan was stared at by Mrs. Zheng and changed into a brand-new middle coat, socks, embroidered shoes and wedding dresses, and the jewelry on her head was also replaced by two silver hairpins, two flowers and a big red velvet flower.

In addition, she also wore a pair of silver earrings on her ears, a pair of silver bracelets on her wrists, and two silver rings on the index fingers of both hands, which can be described as quite heroic.

These jewelry were all purchased for her by Mrs. Zheng, and those given by the Ming family and Minghe, Mrs. Zheng let her put them in the newly made dressing box.

"Sister Youyan, you have a lot of jewelry! There are six silver hairpins alone! ”

"There are six silver rings and six silver bracelets of each!"

"What six! There are three pairs!"

"There are also three pairs of silver earrings."

"Even the fat powder in the county town is there! This powder is expensive, and my cousin said that it would cost five dollars a box of silver. ”

There were more than a dozen half-grown girls from the same village as Zheng Youyan, and they also came to add makeup to Zheng Youyan, of course, they would send a handkerchief, a purse, a velvet flower or two head ropes at most.

The only one who sent a pillowcase was Zheng Youyan's cousin of the same great-grandfather, and she was also Mrs. Zheng's matchmaker, saying that her little daughter-in-law Zheng Caixia, who had not passed through the door, said to Da Lang Ming.

Zheng Youyan has a very good temperament, no matter what others give, she will smile and put it into the cage or dressing box with a precious face.

Others shouted at her jewelry, but she still smiled, "Some of them were prepared for me by my grandmother, and some were given to me by my aunt, my grandmother, my aunt, and my aunt." ”

"Your family is so large, even your relatives are so rich." A fat girl with two velvet flowers stared at Zheng Youyan's dresser with envy, and the little fat hand grabbed the coarse cloth handkerchief in her hand hard, "When I get married, my grandmother will be willing to give me two pairs of silver bracelets at most." My aunt's family, my aunt's family, and my grandmother's family were also poor, and when my sister got married, they added makeup to small things such as pillowcases and handkerchiefs. Not to mention jewelry, my sister didn't even have a pot or bucket. ”

Zheng Youyan couldn't gossip about others, so she could only raise her hand and pat the fat girl's fat arm, "Don't patronize and talk, drink sugar water, I asked my mother to add two more spoonfuls of sugar to us." ”

The fat girl pursed her mouth, sighed and picked up the coarse porcelain bowl, and drank most of the bowl of brown sugar water in the bowl.

Mingyue sat on the side and watched their chattering discussion, but her mind had already flown out of 108,000 miles.

She was thinking about what the Ming family could do to make money, and now their family's accumulation of wealth is still too slow and slow, and now it is better to say that in a few years, they will not be able to afford so many children in the family to study for the imperial examination.

In addition to buying land, her family should also buy some shops in the town and county, some of which are open and some of which are rented.

And herself, she doesn't want to be a housewife who revolves around the pot for the rest of her life, and of course, she doesn't want to be a farmer who eats by the sky all the time facing the loess with her back to the sky.

Although she can't get into the imperial examination, she can let herself master a skill.

"Mingyue? Moon? When all the girls in the village went to sit outside, Zheng Youyan realized that her little cousin had already flown away.

She shouted Mingyue twice, and seeing that Mingyue didn't react, she had to stretch out her hand with a smile and shake it back and forth in front of Mingyue's eyes.

Mingyue instantly came back to her senses, "Cousin." ”

"Why are you so serious?"

Mingyue smiled and didn't answer, "Will anyone come over after that?" ”

Zheng Youyan followed her to change the topic, "It shouldn't be, it's almost time to pick up relatives." ”

Rao is she has always been cool and generous, and when it comes to her marriage, she still inevitably blushes cheeks.

Mingyue grinned, and the two sat in the house for about a quarter of an hour, and Zheng Youyan's husband's family really came to the Zheng family to pick up their relatives.

Mrs. Zheng found Zheng Youyan a family surnamed Li in their village, and the Li family, like the Zheng family, was also from Orion.

Although the Li family is not as wealthy as the Zheng family, the descendants of the Li family are one of the three most promising young people in their Daqinggou generation.

He has a slightly dark complexion, a strong and burly body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is energetic when he looks at it, of course, Mrs. Zheng mainly likes him to be diligent and capable, sensible and filial, but very assertive.

If it weren't for this, Mrs. Zheng would not have chosen him to be her husband to her precious granddaughter among all the male babies who came to ask for marriage.

"Why is Yan girl so old to marry? Is your mother-in-law planning to empty out the family and marry her granddaughter? In the corner of the hall, Zheng Youyan's aunt Du's sister-in-law bit her sister-in-law's ear in a low voice.

"It's not all prepared by my mother-in-law. My sister-in-law made two new bedding for Yan and stuffed her with a pair of silver bracelets. My mother-in-law's family and my sister-in-law's family also gave things one by one, jewelry, fabrics, quilts, pillowcases, furniture, and small items such as handkerchiefs and purses. Especially my sister-in-law's mother's family, the amount of silver jewelry given is almost as large as that prepared by my mother-in-law. ”

Du Shi has also felt quite bad in the past two days.

She doesn't have a daughter, and she loves Mrs. Zheng more over the years, Zheng Youyan, a money-losing goods, instead of a few male grandchildren in the family, if it weren't for Mrs. Zheng's great prestige in the Zheng family, her man is a "my mother is right for everything, my mother is right for everything" temperament, as early as when she saw the silver jewelry that Mrs. Zheng gave Zheng Youyan to marry, she was already uncontrollably commotion.

What she didn't expect was that the Jin family (Mrs. Zheng's mother's family) and the Ming family actually attached so much importance to Zheng Youyan.

Especially the Ming family, don't you need money for cloth and jewelry? Is all rouge gouache picked up for nothing?

Don't think she doesn't know, just the small box of rouge that a few children of the Ming family gave to Zheng Youyan is the hottest thing in the county now, and it can be sold for eight dollars of silver for just a little bit.

There is also that box of incense powder, which is also a box of high-end goods for five coins and silver.

Not to mention that they also gave Zheng Youyan quilts, pillowcases, grates, handkerchiefs, furniture and other things.

Her sister-in-law's parents, brother and sister, do they all have money and no place to spend? One by one, they are so generous that she can only take out more private money to make face for herself and her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.

"No wonder people say that the old Ming family is rich now. The niece's daughter is willing to take out twenty taels, so why do you have to give forty or fifty taels to accompany her granddaughter, right? Her sister-in-law sighed twice, "If this person marries his daughter, he will make a lot of money." ”
