Zhang Gui stiffened his neck, and was about to say that Miss Chu, who slept with him last night, was finished, and wanted to say that the Chu family was worried that their daughter would be secretly married, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. thinks that he usually talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, if he lets Pu Cao know about this, his face will have nowhere to put it.

Thinking like this, he no longer distinguished, and said over and over again, "I just want to marry, you agree to marry, and if you don't agree, you have to marry." ”

"Okay, you are now a talented man, and your idea is right. I'm not qualified to discipline you as a peasant woman, that's it. I just ask you, if you marry the daughter of the Chu family, where will you put the Dong family's full table? Don't you say you don't know that she admires you, don't say you haven't taken her purse and shoes and socks? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs, and you will provoke people all over the table here, and marry her over there, and you are not afraid that God will kill you! ”

Pu Cao remembered that the table was full of people who couldn't go to her house two or three times a day, and she was happy to hear Zhang Gui's little news, so she deeply felt that this girl was not worth it, of course, more guilt. To be honest, she has always treated this girl as a brother and daughter-in-law, who knew that such a shocking change suddenly occurred today. If that girl knows, she doesn't know how to cry wronged.

Zhang Gui heard that his original affair was revealed, his face turned red with annoyance, and he defended, "I never said that I wanted to marry her, she herself wanted to send something to me, what does this have to do with me?" I want to be an official in the future, how can I marry a wild girl from a peasant family! ”

Pu Cao was so angry that she was about to slap him twice. Zhang Gui was frightened and dodged, and suddenly found that he could move, so he immediately turned over and got up, ran out of the door quickly, and shouted, "The dowry will be purchased according to the order, and the appointment will be hired after a delay of five days, see how you explain to the clan elder with Lizheng!" ”

Pu Cao grabbed the teacup in his hand and smashed it out, but unfortunately Zhang Gui had already run away.

Fang Jie was afraid that Pu Cao would be angry, so he stepped forward and patted her on the back and said, "Don't persuade her anymore, if he wants to marry, he will marry it." When he suffers in the future, he will regret it today. ”

Pu Cao also gritted her teeth with hatred, "It's really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, I just think that after eating in the same pot with him for more than a year, I can't watch him being tricked like this." But he's a ghost! Besides, the girl at the table is really good-tempered, he is so treacherous, how can he live at the table. ”

"Alright, alright." Fang Jie took Pucao in his arms and said in a low voice, "Originally, I thought that this kid had a lack of temperament and temperament, and he would definitely cause trouble for you in the future." It's a good thing that he insists on marrying like this now, and after he gets married, you can find an opportunity to divide the family. When we become relatives again, he won't be able to implicate you even if he causes a catastrophe. As for the full table, let's make more compensation in the future. Their family is not unreasonable, and they will never blame you for the fault. ”

Although Pucao also knew this truth, she still sighed again and again. Many things are easy for outsiders to say, but if you are not sad, how can you know the pain of sadness. Fortunately, she has taken care of the Dong family in the past six months, and she has not made her words clear, so she barely has room for remedy. I hope God blesses you, and the table is full of people who don't think about it.

She casually pulled the dowry list on the table and glanced at it, but her brows immediately wrinkled again, "Originally, I also knew that Mrs. Chu was a money-lover, but I didn't expect that she loved money so much that she didn't even want face." Is she marrying her daughter or selling her daughter, only four sets of red gold noodles are required, and her silver is blown by the wind? ”

Fang Jie took the list and looked at it carefully, and said with a helpless smile, "This Chu family is indeed a little shameless, if this dowry is prepared, the money you have earned from growing vegetables in the past two years will be filled in." ”

"Daydreaming! My hard-earned money, she said she would give it if she wanted. Tomorrow I will buy according to two percent of this, she is not satisfied with the daughter can not marry the daughter, see who is in a hurry! After Pu Cao finished speaking, he threw away the list angrily and found pen and ink to write again.

Fang Jie was relieved when he saw that she was no longer angry, and went back to his house after a few words of gossip.

On the second day, Zhang Gui was still worried that Pucao asked him about the bridal gift. He didn't want Pucao to take a car into the city to buy it after breakfast, which made him very surprised.

As a result, when Pucao came back in the evening and took the same dowry to his neighbors who heard the news, he found that the dowry had shrunk severely.

Mrs. Chen was taking a piece of silk and looking at it, praising it in her mouth, "This color is really festive, and people don't want to put it down when they look at it." It must have cost a lot of money, right? ”

Pu Cao drank tea and said with a smile, "No, it cost more than a dozen taels of silver for silk alone." ”

Chen's second sister-in-law helped to pack the silver-headed noodles on the side, and said with a smile when she heard this, "I think these two silver-headed noodles are also very good, there is really no more generous sister-in-law than you in the world." Take out this dowry, let alone marry a girl from a scholarly family, even the daughter of the prince's family is enough. ”

"Not really." Everyone laughed and helped tie the red silk on the box.

The more Zhang Gui listened to it, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help but ask loudly, "Sister-in-law, the list of dowry gifts listed by the Chu family is more generous than this, why did my sister-in-law reduce most of it privately?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and turned to look at Pucao, not knowing what was going on.

Pu Cao slowly put down the teacup and sighed, "Brother Gui, you are still young, so you don't know anything." The dowry is a piece of sincerity in our family, as long as the number of gifts is not bad. I read the dowry list listed by the Chu family, it is very inappropriate, it must be a subordinate such as a nurse who made his own opinion.

How can there be a scholarly family to marry a daughter, the dowry will require four pairs of red gold heads, sixteen pieces of silk, and one hundred taels of gold as the dowry, this must be spread, and people must not laugh at the Chu family for selling their daughters. ”

"What four pairs of red gold heads, a hundred taels of gold? This Chu family is really crazy, and his daughter is not worth so much dowry even if she is golden. ”

"No, this dowry list must be mistaken."

"The Zhao family in the city is also a scholar for several generations, I heard that last year when their family married their daughter, they asked for two sets of silver noodles and two sets of four treasures of the study, why is this Chu family so different? It's a joke. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Gui to speak, Aunt Chen couldn't help but start talking, and Zhang Gui's face turned purple when she heard it, and she didn't know how to argue for the Yue family.

Pu Cao accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile, "That's why I said that the Chu family made a mistake with the list." I doubled the dowry list according to the Zhao family, and when the time comes, I will carry it to the Chu family, and the Chu family will surely be happy. ”

"Pucao did the right thing, good relatives get along with each other. We have done enough courtesies here, and the Chu family must also look up to our noble brother. ”

Zhang Gui finally made a difficulty, but he didn't expect to almost lose face, and he didn't want to stay long, so he left with an excuse.

On the second day, no matter what he thought, he was afraid that Mrs. Chu would blame, so he took the car to the Sancha River. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chu heard that the dowry was reduced, but she scolded for a long time, but she never mentioned that she would not let her daughter get married.

While Zhang Gui breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little suspicious in his heart. However, he had a falling out with his sister-in-law the day before yesterday, and now if he wants to regret it, he will not be able to raise his head in front of his sister-in-law in the future. He had no choice but to comfort himself, it must have been because he was bewitched by Pucao and became distracted.

The busy days passed quickly, and since Pu Cao had made up his mind to teach Zhang Gui a lesson, he would no longer block his family affairs. But wherever you need to use money, you are never embarrassed, and even let the main house come out and renovate it and make a cave room for Zhang Gui.

The people of Nangou Village are married because they are happy to show their talents, and they help in Zhang's house every day, so they naturally see all these in their eyes. Every time he sat in one place and gossiped about it, he was full of praise, and seeing that Zhang Gui inevitably wanted to pull him and ask him a few words to treat his sister-in-law well, Zhang Gui was so angry that he secretly scolded Pucao in his heart.

Zhang Gui's relatives, there are a few old men and Li Zheng to help Zhang Luo, and there are villagers to help him, but Pucao has a lot of free time. So, she often went to the field to take care of those precious rice seedlings, and saw them growing higher and higher in the warm sun of late spring, and her heart was finally much looser because of Zhang Gui's bad breath.

Fang Jie often doesn't see anyone these days for some reason, and whenever Pu Cao asks, he always says that she will know in the future. Pu Cao didn't ask any more, anyway, he wouldn't do anything to harm her.

Soon, the day of the three-day media invitation arrived. Zhang Gui deliberately went into the city to find the best matchmaker, sent him to the Chu family with his own handwriting, and took back Miss Chu's sticker. Five days later, Li Zheng and Li Siye dressed up in new clothes, and took the young men in the village to send the dowry to Sancha River in a car. The Chu family kept half of it and sent half of it back, and added a few sets of clothes, shoes and socks made by Miss Chu herself.

At this point, the family affairs of the two families have been decided. Another day, the Chu family sent an old woman to the door and carefully measured the size of the Zhang family's main house, so that the Chu family could go to the woodware shop to buy furniture, after all, the time was too hasty, and it was too late to customize.

The old woman was quite satisfied with the Zhang family's grand tiled house, and when she left, she took the reward of Pucao, and her face bloomed.

The day before they got married, the Chu family sent wooden beds and other supplies, and filled the entire three main rooms of the Zhang family. The villagers were curious to lie at the door and look around, and in the end, everyone praised Zhang Guiyue's family for being rich and decent.

Zhang Gui's proud chin was raised higher, and when he officially greeted him on the second day, he wore a red brocade robe, rode a tall horse, and took the blowing team and a sedan chair to pick up Miss Chu back with great scenery.

Although Mrs. Chu is stingy on weekdays, she treats her own daughter generously, and the dowry is a full 36 units, and she also brings a small shop in the city, which naturally makes the neighbors from near and far who come to join in the fun envious.

When the newlyweds worshipped heaven and earth, they were sent into the cave house. The wine banquet in the courtyard was set up, and the people from Nangou Village or the other villages who came to see the excitement all sat down to eat, drink, talk and laugh, and the festive words were sent out one by one.
