Chapter Twenty-Four: Suddenly Coming to Harvest Spring and Settle Marriage

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this thing was strange, a heart was pounding, almost rushing out of my chest, Chen Shuangchuan had to stop and stabilize his mind for a while, only to feel a little better, and then ran over to find Sister-in-law Zhou.

Chen Shuangchuan's position is very subtlely embarrassing, saying that it is the He family's maid, and there is no buyout, saying that it is a hired worker, and there is no such a long employment period, if you calculate it carefully, Chen Shuangchuan can only sign the five-year construction period by borrowing the face of Zhou's sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law Zhou is an old man in front of Mrs. He, and it is usually rare to speak, so it is easy to get old and settle a Chen Shuangzhen, but after that, she feels that she is not going to go, and she has been careful in front of Mrs. He for a long time.

Chen Shuangchuan also knew the difficulties of Zhou's sister-in-law, and worked wholeheartedly, refusing to go out of the yard unless necessary, but also stopped.

It's okay to ask for leave to go out, but at this time, it's not like having a ready-made charter during the New Year's holiday, which is much more troublesome.

first replied to Sister-in-law Zhou, but Sister-in-law Zhou responded very happily, and then said to Chen Shuangchuan: "You matter, it doesn't work if I say it alone, you have to go back to the grandfather and Mrs., they are approved, and you can go home." ”

Mrs. He didn't say much here, and he also rewarded Chen Shuang with a few dollars and two pieces of linen, which can be regarded as the makeup that Mrs. He added to Chen Caichun.

When Chen Shuang went to see Mrs. He, Mrs. He was discussing things with her henchmen, full of worries.

Because she felt sorry for her daughter, Mrs. Li, who looked at people cautiously, although she didn't tell Mrs. He that she wanted to pick a husband among her sons, but Mrs. Li left home in a bad mood, came out in a hurry, brought few people, and Li Yaosui didn't care, so there were many people from the He family in Mrs. Li's yard, and Mrs. He's little thought naturally couldn't be hidden from Mrs. He.

When he knew that Mrs. Li actually took a fancy to He Jinbao, who had always been a little wrong with herself, which made Mrs. He angry, the idea that had been extinguished slowly popped up again, since He Jinbao can, then why He Jingui can't, and He Jinyuan, who is more honest and obedient, is also good.

was discussing it, and suddenly heard that Chen Shuangchuan came to ask for leave, and Mrs. He didn't have any thoughts, so she called in and asked a few words casually, and then approved Chen Shuangchuan's leave.

Sister-in-law Wang, who was waiting on the side, looked at Chen Shuangchuan, and suddenly had an idea, and quietly whispered a few words in Mrs. He's ear. Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, turned her head and stared at Chen Shuangchuan carefully for a few moments, and waved her hand to let her retreat before Chen Shuangchuan felt strange. Then he frowned and thought for a while and said, "How did I hear that Chen Shiyou's family is from a salt household." ”

"What does this have to do with it, marrying a daughter-in-law is not marrying a daughter, what does the salt household have to do with our family? And the girl from the small family is obedient and diligent...... Filial piety is not. Sister-in-law Wang paused and smiled flatteringly.

"Do you want to take a concubine for the fourth child first?"

Conquest? Sister-in-law Wang secretly rolled her eyes, she and Mrs. He have been working for many years, and she has long been clear about Mrs. He's thoughts about not waiting to see He Jinbao, if it weren't for the idea of letting her own son marry Li Lanpei, Mrs. He wouldn't pay attention to He Jinbao's affairs at all, and she would also take a concubine, and she could give He Jinbao a mouthful of food and clothes to wear, she would already feel very compassionate.

And if Chen Shuangchuan is said to He Jinbao as a concubine, isn't there still a vacant position in the main room, Mrs. He wants to determine He Jinbao's family affairs before Mrs. Li explains it, so if He Jinbao wants to marry, he must marry a wife.

Sister-in-law Wang also knew that Mrs. He was waiting for her to speak, so she hurried up and said: "Of course she is marrying a wife, this Chen family girl is also the best, whether it is a female worker, who will not boast about it, put it in this ten miles and hundreds of miles of village, I really can't find the second top-notch one." ”

Mrs. He seemed to be very moved by this, and Sister-in-law Wang took the opportunity to praise Chen Shuang with her merits, but she didn't praise Chen Shuang to the heavens, and there were no immortals on the earth, and at the end she added: "I know the lady of her family, and Mrs. went to say that she was pro, and she didn't disagree, and it would definitely be done." ”

Chen Shuangchuan was worried about Chen Caichun, as soon as he got leave, he hurriedly packed up his things and ran home, looked at it from a distance, except that the moss outside the house seemed to be a little thicker, and there seemed to be no change in the house.

The people of the Chen family are gathered in the kitchen, steaming hot pots of boiled eggs, and there is a basin of red pigment water on the ground.

Chen Caichun was also among them, his little face was tense, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

"What are you doing there, when you go home, you come to help!" As soon as Yang looked up by chance, he saw Chen Shuangchuan standing on the threshold in a daze, looking inside, and immediately became unhappy.

"I'm tired, I want to." Chen Shuangchuan just stared at Chen Caichun, regardless of what Yang said, he replied casually, and then stepped over and pulled Chen Caichun out, "Third sister will accompany me for a while." ”

"This girl is getting more and more ignorant!" Yang was angry, and his subordinates inevitably used a little force, and with a click, they broke an egg, but fortunately, the eggs were all cooked, and Yang saw that the damage was not too serious, so he threw the egg back as if nothing happened.

Mrs. Zhao looked at it and said slowly, "Let them go to the children's house." ”

Chen Shuangchuan dragged Chen Caichun to a remote corner, and saw that no one else was there, before he spoke anxiously: "Third sister, are you really going to get married?" I always thought I would have to wait a few more years. ”

"My mother wants to send Anan to the school in the county, and she will take all the heads of her uncle's house to ask for favors."

"Then your dowry ......" Chen Shuangchuan was taken aback.

The customs of marrying here are more complicated, and the dowry that the man sends to the woman is also divided into several kinds, the small gift is the big gift, because after the dowry is given, it is considered a fixed marriage, so it is generally called the head. Xiaoding also has a "four magenta" or "six magenta", four to six pieces of satin clothing, two gold rings, a pair of earrings, and other gold pendants and gold hairpins in the homes of the rich and noble. Zhongli is also called "sending ****", and 64 pairs of baotou, 64 oil bags, 64 sesame cakes and hemp balls are loaded with a bar box, as well as a few loads of old wine. After that, a big gift of one hundred and two, here is a big head, the poor family generally gives silver buns, and the rich families send gold baht or gold buns, but the number must be one hundred and twenty, not more and not less.
