It turned out that this black wolf skin was not for the white old man at all, but for the white lotus.

is really a good mother, the idle matter has not been decided, and the dowry is ready first.

Xu Wenlan doesn't know how to do it, there were many rich and noble families in ancient times, and when their daughters were born, they began to prepare dowries, like good wood for furniture, which can not be found all at once, and they have been preparing for more than ten years and feel that they are not ready when their daughters get married.

The rich family pays attention to the things that the daughter will eat for the rest of her life, which means that even if my daughter marries, she still wears it from her mother's family, and you don't want to bully my daughter.

But farmers like them are not so particular. What the common people say is the opposite: marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat.

If you have married into your mother-in-law's family, you are a member of your mother-in-law's family, and whoever is a husband must provide for your daughter-in-law and children.

Preparing a dowry in advance like the Li family is still rare in the countryside.

However, the old man Bai also felt sorry for his daughter, and when he heard that this wolf skin mattress was going to make a dowry for the white lotus, he didn't say anything, but he paused, but he couldn't help but whisper: "It's too expensive......"

A piece of black wolf skin is ten taels of silver, and the money for two acres of land has come out, if you buy this as a dowry, it is really better to accompany two acres of land.

Besides, when a girl marries, how can she use so many dowries, these daughters-in-law who marry at the head of the family, except for the Zhu family, there are more dowries, and the other two have nothing to marry.

As soon as he heard Old Man Bai say that it was expensive, Li Shi glanced back at him and followed casually: "It's too expensive...... You sit down and drink some water first, and I'll go to the stove room to have a look, and let your second aunt cook something delicious. ”

turned around and went out, but it was a glance for Old Man Bai.

Seeing the old couple go out, Xu Wenlan immediately leaned in front of the window to eavesdrop.

I vaguely heard Li say: "When my young lady got married, there were several boxes of skins, and they were all face-......."

Yes, I'm talking about the years again, and I don't want to think about it, no matter how rich the rich family is, you are just a maid, what does the wealth of others have to do with you? What's more, you always compare the life of a peasant family with that of a rich and noble family, how can you compare it?

Shaking his head, Xu Wenlan turned around and asked Asa: "Asa Ge, how much can this skin be sold for?" ”

Asa counted with his fingers, and finally compared six, which was six taels of silver.

Pursing her lips, Xu Wenlan whispered: "Look at my eyes for a while, I want to say no, you just stare at me, I wave my hand, you get up and take the skin to leave, wait for me to say okay, you laugh ......"

Asa smiled innocently, and didn't ask Xu Wenlan why he let him do this, but Bai Shengwu understood that Xu Wenlan was trying to defraud the Li family, but he didn't think that Xu Wenlan was bullying his own family, he just laughed.

But in a moment, the Li family and the old man Bai turned back, obviously the Li family had persuaded the old man Bai, as soon as the old man Bai came in, he didn't say anything about buying skins, but asked Bai Shengwu how he hunted the black wolf, and praised Bai Shengwu and his grandfather for learning a good skill.

Bai Shengwu is also fine, and when he heard it, he could hear that his master was tricking him! Whether this black wolf was beaten by him or by Asa is two different things.

If he beats the black wolf, then he is filial piety and should be a matter of filial piety, and he still wants to raise money?

With this heart, Bai Shengwu, who usually likes to hear people praise him the most, is also humble, only saying that he followed Asa to fight, and also said that he beat this black wolf, as well as the hunter in Dahu, but people let Asa only take wolf meat, not skin.

To say that this wolf meat is too hard and has a taste, it is not very delicious......

Seeing that Bai Shengwu was getting more and more biased, Old Man Bai couldn't help coughing, and finally said: "In this way, your grandmother feels sorry for my old cold legs, and wants to make me a wolf skin mattress, although your skin is damaged, and it doesn't look very good, but it can barely be used, so deal with it......"

After losing a lot of money first, Master Bai directly opened the price: four taels of silver!

Directly cut more than half, this knife is really big.

Xu Wenlan was not annoyed, and smiled: "I'm afraid that Asa won't want this price, so I have to ask him...... Asago! ”

Asa glared cooperatively, silent.

Xu Wenlan asked again, he muttered, don't say that Old Man Bai can't understand, even Xu Wenlan can't understand.

It was Bai Shengwu who seemed to be very expert and said: "Asa said no!" The price was too cheap, and he still had to go to the county seat. ”

After speaking, he whispered: "Master, they are all hunters in Dahu, and they sell skins all year round, and they all know how to do it." ”

That means that if you want to fool people, it's not easy to lower prices.

Old Man Bai frowned: "That five taels!?" You see, how much does he cost? Ten taels is not good, it is too expensive......"

Xu Wenlan shook her head, but still asked, "Brother Assa, you can make this skin cheaper!" ”

Asa immediately grabbed the skin, turned around and left, but Bai Shengwu grabbed Asa by the hand.

Xu Wenlan said: "Master, I think it's better to forget it, people are reluctant to sell cheaply." Besides, didn't our family just be robbed of their beard? Where's the money? ”

Li was a little anxious: "Six taels, six taels!" ”

"Milk, do you have to buy it? You also know that the people in Dahu are all biao, and if you provoke him, he is no better than a beard. ”

Xu Wenlan kindly persuaded him, but he frightened Old Man Bai, didn't speak for a long time, just turned his head to look at Li, and whispered: "Or ......"

"No, you have to buy whatever this skin says!" Li Shi gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand: "Eight taels!" I have only eight taels of silver left, and you see if he can sell it. ”

It was also said that it was robbed, isn't there still money for this? Maybe it's more than eight taels!

Xu Wenlan pursed her mouth, as if she was reluctantly discussing with Asa, Asa stared at Xu Wenlan, saw her head nodded slightly, and finally let go and agreed to sell skins.

As soon as he heard that Asaken was selling, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but he came up with a new trick: "That, Wen Lan, you told him that our family doesn't have money now, and this money will be given to him in three installments?" ”

This time, without Xu Wenlan's signal, Asa stood up directly and went to pull the skin.

Li pounced and grabbed the skin: "I'll give money now, give money......"

didn't let a few people stay in the house, Li fumbled in the house for a long time, and then called someone into the house, and I don't know where to get the silver, a handful of broken silver, or Xu Wenlan asked to take the scale, so he made up another hundred copper coins, which was regarded as giving the leather money.

After buying the skins, the Li family didn't mention the matter of staying for dinner, Xu Wenlan was not bad for that meal, the three children went out of the Bai family together, and when they returned to the empty house, Xu Wenlan immediately divided the silver.

was able to hunt the black wolf Asa accounted for a lot of credit, she directly divided five taels of silver to Asa, Asa refused to accept it, but Xu Wenlan said seriously: "Asa brother, although my second brother is shooting arrows quite accurately now, but you have to take most of the credit for hitting this wolf, if you don't want this money, my second brother will not dare to hunt with you in the future." ”
