Autumn goes to winter, and the days will soon come to the end of November, Lin Kangping moved back to Qingyuan to live before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the elders of the family said that they could not meet for three months before they got married. Ziqing didn't know what he had been busy with since then. To everyone's surprise, the Zifu family actually rushed back on the night of the first day of the lunar month, saw the Shen family, and learned that they had not yet received the dowry, and said: "Fortunately, we caught up, and it was not in vain for us to rush." ”

The next day, it was the day of the dowry, the old man and Tian's, Zhou's, and Ziqing's three aunts all came over, fortunately, this time, Chunyu only came by herself, Ziqing They naturally didn't know that because of this, the old man and Tian's specially told Chunyu for a long time.

Especially Tian's family, this year also tasted the bitter fruit, I didn't expect Su Ri's best talkative youngest son, this year, in addition to the festival, really didn't give her a penny of expenses, not to mention supporting Chunyu, his two old mouths are also tight, and they also thought that the problem must lie in Chunyu's body, so they asked Chunyu's family not to always be a big family dangling in front of Zeng Ruixiang, especially Da Mao and Gui Ying, not to come over again in the past year or two.

Chunyu had to agree when she heard this, after all, she still thought that one day in the future, Zeng Ruixiang would take the old man and the Tian family over to support, and she would be able to borrow some light.

The He family also arrived with the two uncles and aunts of the Shen family, and the third mother-in-law also came with her five daughters-in-law, Ziqing was also a little curious about what Lin Kangping had prepared, but the Shen family told him not to be too ostentatious, after all, this is still in the countryside village.

At ten o'clock, Zifu set off a cannon at the gate of the courtyard to receive the dowry, the dowry went around a large circle from the village, and then brought in, first a pair of big white geese, a pair of half-person-high pastel dusters, pine deer pattern, meaning that the road is safe, white jade, jade, black jade, red jade Ruyi each one. The four seasons are ruyi, followed by the head jewelry, gold, silver, jade, pearl, ruin, agate each set, the four seasons of cloth eight lifts. Four fox skins, a light cloak with a red feather veil and a pure white fox fur lining, one hundred and eighty-eight taels of gift money, two wedding cakes, ten boxes of tea, and ten jars of wine, a total of thirty-eight lifts. The small courtyard is full.

Zhou kept smacking and said, "So many things, tsk, how much silver do you get?" I gave more than 100 taels of gift money alone, and I was dazzled by it, I have never seen these valuable things in my life, Ziqing is really lucky. ”

Qiu Yu said: "How many can you have? His family's garden cost 1,000 taels of silver, which is estimated to be said by the second sister-in-law. was afraid that he would be too ostentatious and attract the jealousy of others, so Kang Ping made do. But. I see that Ziqing's clothes are enough to wear in this life, and the family has made several large boxes, which are still eight lifts, and they are also some valuable good materials, I didn't say it, Lao Zeng's aunt and grandmother are good for her life. ”

"If Ziping was obedient, she would have found a good family back then, it would not be better than now, this child would be a life of hardship." Zhou sighed.

"Not necessarily. Back then, all the belongings added up were not worth carrying here. Next, it's up to Gui Ying, eldest sister, isn't there any news from Gui Ying? She is a year older than Ziqing. If you want me to say, don't pick it, it's almost fine, how many can have Ziqing's life? Qiu Yu said.

Chunyu was not happy to hear it, this is not a pot that does not open which pot, Gui Ying has said so many people this year, who knows that people have not taken a fancy to her, she will be eighteen in the next year, and she will not marry again, but it really affects the children under her, this has become a piece of Chunyu's heart disease, when I think about it, my heart is like boiling oil, where can I withstand Qiuyu's scratches?

Chunyu glared at Qiuyu and said, "What's the use of being red with others?" If you have the ability, you will have a daughter in the future, and see if you can marry a rich family? ”

"How smart is our Ziqing, he has been a capable person since he was a child, the good life of the second sister-in-law's family is still made by Ziqing, isn't Kangping's orange orchard also made by Ziqing, if you want me to say, maybe Kangping also borrowed Ziqing's light? As the saying goes, what pot with what lid, how can our children be that smart? So, we didn't have that child, and we don't have to envy others. Xia Yu said.

"Yes, it would be nice to say it to Da Mao at that time." Chunyu said, the chagrin in her heart is really more than a little bit, otherwise, where are these difficult things behind?

"Are you still talking in your sleep? Shut up before it's too late. Look at Kangping, which is not better than Da Mao. The granddaughters hugged them and said this. Just because of you, even your father and mother are affected by you. Qiu Yu snorted and said.

"I'm just talking, where do you dare to think about this, and if you think about it, I'm even less welcome, without my father and mother, now the second brother and sister-in-law won't let me enter the door, the last time Da Mao's child was born, the second brother didn't prepare any gifts." Chunyu sighed.

"Are you embarrassed to say this, look at what kind of life your father and mother are living now? Even buying a few taels of meat has to be calculated for a long time, if you don't pull your mother to calculate the second brother all day long, the second brother probably won't push your father and mother out, you are still not satisfied, stop and stop for a few years, and then cause something, your father and mother really can't help you. Qiu Yu said.

"I know, can I not know? This year, haven't you seen that I haven't even returned to my parents' house a few times? Tired and tired in the field every day, it is barely enough to eat, several children in the family can eat more than one another, Simao is no longer studying, and there is no future for reading, but what can such a young child do except eat? Sanmao can go out to find things for a year, and he got back two pieces of money, and now it's not easy to find a short-term job. Chunyu sighed, without the support of her mother's family, this day is really difficult, I knew this, why bother in the first place, I guarded my mother's house steadily, and those subsidies every year were really enough for me to live for a while, but unfortunately, why did I lose my mind at the beginning?

Zhou had already listened with his ears pricked up on the side, and then he knew the reason, and stepped forward and said: "Yo, eldest sister, it's not that my sister-in-law said you, and you don't look at it, what kind of virtue is your family's big hair, and you dare to marry our Ziqing, but it really responds to that sentence, the toad wants to eat swan meat." Sister-in-law really admires you two, this abacus is pulled to her own family, but unfortunately, this time, you didn't eat the mutton, but made a commotion. You are not only involved in your father's mother, you are also involved in our family, poor your eldest brother's hard work for a year, only ten taels of silver, and now you have to give three taels to your father. No wonder you always blame your eldest brother for not waiting to see your family, look at these things you do, are they welcome? It seems that in the future, I will also stay away from you, lest the second brother's family will not even want to see us. After Zhou finished speaking, he turned around and left, completely ignoring Chunyu's face was red and black, black and red.

The two uncles of the Shen family were helping on the side, and when they heard the conversation between them, they covered their mouths and snickered.

At this time, Tian came over and said, "What are you still doing here?" People have come to add makeup, and you haven't seen enough? I told you, Chunyu, don't give me the whole thing, otherwise, your father won't be able to spare you, this year because of you, how many people have followed to eat, even I have been complained by your father. ”

Chunyu didn't like it, but nodded and agreed.

Shen rewarded the dowry gift, and when everyone finished reading it, he locked the things into the warehouse.

At this time, everyone gathered in Ziqing's boudoir, waiting to add makeup to Ziqing. Because they are all female dependents, naturally they don't pay attention to those, and they will gossip, and the third mother-in-law said: "Brother and sister, our granddaughter is about to leave the cabinet, I don't know what good things you have prepared, we are all waiting to see and understand, reasoning, and you should take it out first, we are all waiting." ”

Tian listened and said secretly: Hmph, I want to come to this play again, fortunately, I am well prepared this time, otherwise, it is time for you to see the joke again.

Tian slowly took out a piece of red silk, which she had been grinding from the old man for a long time, and asked for 500 wen from Ziqing's filial piety to the old man, and bought this ruler. For her, any more, it will be squeezed between her teeth. After all, before the old man's birthday this year, Chunyu's family lived at home for a month, and if there was no famine in this day, it would be a few silver coins left in the old year's hand.

Tian took out the ruler, looked at the third mother-in-law, and said in his heart: "I want to take a good look at what good things you can give up, Ziqing is not your own granddaughter after all." I spent half a penny on this. ”

The third mother-in-law touched Ziqing's head and smiled, and said: "Our Qing'er is a good child, the third mother-in-law is a pity that there is nothing good to give you, the third mother-in-law will add you a pair of anklets, after getting married, no matter where you go, don't forget that this is your mother's home, we are all your dependence." After the third mother-in-law finished speaking, she put a pair of silver anklets with exquisite workmanship into the tray.

Ziqing's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly thanked her, Tian's face really changed color, she was really a little annoyed, and she was also a little puzzled, reasoning, Ziqing was just a granddaughter, and the conditions of the three sisters-in-law's family were not very good, how could she be so generous. How did she know that in the past few years, they have been close to Ziqing's family, but they borrowed a lot of Ziqing's light, just to build a house, Ziqing gave the five sons of the third mother-in-law almost fifty taels of wages, not to mention anything else, not to mention Zeng Ruiyu, the newly built house, and some land, which was not earned from Ziqing's family. There are also a few grandchildren, not to mention, the third mother-in-law is a person who knows gratitude, and she has educated her five sons to repay her kindness.

The third mother-in-law finished giving, and it was Zhou's turn, and Zhou was also stunned, but soon his expression was as usual, Zhou's was also a ruler, similar to Tian's, it is estimated that the two discussed it, and then several daughters-in-law of the third mother-in-law's family, all of them are all silver jewelry, nothing more than hairpins, bracelets, bracelets, rings and earrings, etc., the eldest daughter-in-law of the third mother-in-law said: "Ziqing, you aunts, there are no good things." You should think of it as a thought, and it is also the intention of the aunts. ”

Shen Shi saw it and hurriedly said: "You guys are too polite, this is not a good thing?" It is estimated that you are not even willing to wear it yourself, and you sent it to the child, what a face, we Qing'er really want to thank you. ”

"The second sister-in-law said this, but she saw the outside, it was really a family that said the words of the two families, and we all knew in our hearts that this is a good day of great joy, and we won't say anything superfluous." The second daughter-in-law looked at Chunyu after speaking. (To be continued)
