Chapter 440: Outside the Job
"The bride is 99,999 taels of gold, two loads of cake (50 kilograms each), eight types of seafood, and a pair of wild geese ......"
Singing the dowry list outside, Aunt Sun in the room couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and even the second uncle Li, who was very low-key on weekdays, was smiling at the moment.
Grandma Li opened her mouth with almost all her teeth out, and kept bragging to the people in the room.
"I knew that my granddaughter was promising, and she was big and capable. Back then......"
"Auntie, your granddaughter is out, what is this grandson-in-law? The son of the Guogong Mansion? After that, our small bowl will be the Duchess of the Kingdom? ”
"That's not it."
"In the future, we will have to take care of our poor relatives."
Li Xiaowan's smiling face stiffened a little, and he wanted to blast out the old aunt and grandmother who were spitting in the house.
Still hurt her the most back then?
What about when everyone else is stupid?
But looking at the smile on his father's face, Li Xiaowan endured it.
It is not easy for my father and mother to give birth to herself, especially in the past few years, my father and mother have been worrying about her.
Thinking that he is going to marry far away, he is inevitably a little reluctant in his heart.
smiled and politely rejected a bunch of people and went to the right wing of the backyard.
It was already in May, and it was starting to heat up, and the doors and windows were open, and in front of the window was a peach tree, and occasionally peach petals drifted in, bringing the fragrance of the room.
"You're so clean here." Li Xiaowan sighed with emotion, and as soon as he entered here, he felt a lot more relieved in his heart.
Looking at a bunch of foxtail lilies and a plate of grapes on the table, Li Xiaowan was very greedy.
"You're living a more leisurely little life."
Jun Jiusi raised his head and glanced at Li Xiaowan, "You busy man didn't greet you in front, why did you come to me?" ”
Now they are in the yard that An Xiaojiu bought in the town before, and later Second Uncle Li bought the yard behind it and opened it up.
The front is a shop, and the backyard is lived, and it is bigger than before.
But even so, you can hear the hustle and bustle of the front yard here.
"Annoying." Li Xiaowan was really annoyed, "What do you say you have to come here for a dowry?" ”
"Doesn't this Brother Simon want to help you grow face with your eldest mother and second uncle?"
"Hmph," Li Xiaowan disagreed, thinking that this was showing off in front of a group of poor people.
She doesn't like to show off, "Look at it, after today, a bunch of people will come to my father and my mother, either to borrow money or to do errands." ”
Sick of it.
If it's a good relationship, needless to say, it will naturally help.
But most of the people in the front yard now are something she doesn't like, especially her third uncle's family.
"Jiusi, you don't know, my third uncle's family has to occupy two tables for dinner! One by one, as if they had never seen anything, they grabbed them with their hands when they went up, and they lost the dead! ”
Thinking of the embarrassing things that the third uncle's family and grandmother had done in front of Ximen Domain since they came back, Li Xiaowan's face had a fever.
Picked up the grapes on the table, leaned over to the soft collapse next to Jun Jiusi and lay down, pillowed one hand behind his head, and threw a grape bead in his mouth from time to time.
Very at ease.
"Don't worry, Brother Simon won't dislike you because of this." Jun Jiusi said comforting words in the front, and then he mended the knife, "I think Brother Ximen should have been mentally prepared before he came, right?" ”
"You!"
"Brother Simon does this, doesn't it also make you the focus of envy and hatred of others?"
Jun Jiusi chuckled and comforted.
In fact, it is not comforting, looking at the smile on the corner of Li Xiaowan's mouth that has never been down, you can know that Li Xiaowan is still quite satisfied with Ximen Domain's approach.
Seriously, there are a lot of dowry gifts like this.
In the past, when she read novels, she always felt that there should be hundreds of thousands of gold or something like a dowry.
But then she bought a book on Taobao and converted it.
Even if it's 500,000 taels of silver, it's equivalent to 100 million in modern times!
What's more, it's still gold!
And she also inquired, here, even in the capital, there are not many dowry gifts that can exceed 60,000 gold.
The Dingguo Mansion is to put the satisfaction of Li Xiaowan on the bright side.
In this way, Li Xiaowan will marry in the future and be looked down upon by others.
"I don't like to be envied." Li Xiaowan snorted, but complained with a smile.
Jun Jiusi shook his head, feeling that she was too greedy, "I want the envy of others, but I don't want jealousy, is that possible?" ”
The human heart is complex and has a dark side.
It can't be all envy and no jealousy.
"By the way, you also look at it yourself, I looked at how many girls there were in your third uncle's house, and looked at Brother Ximen's eyes...... Well, you get the idea. ”
Speaking of which, the cousins of Li Xiaowan's third uncle's family are really good-looking.
There are a few of them, even more beautiful than Li Xiaowan.
In the thoughts of Uncle Li's family, they naturally think that Li Xiaowan looks like this, and they can still hook Ximen Domain when they are so old, so they are younger and more beautiful, and they can hook more.
Speaking of this, Li Xiaowan was angry.
"Do they think I'm blind? Speak to Ah Yu in front of me with that disgusting Bala emphasis! ”
Li Xiaowan is not such a careless person.
She naturally believes in the Ximen Domain, but there are only those who have been thieves for thousands of years and have not been thieves for thousands of years, so she naturally has to guard against them.
Otherwise, if something really happens, she won't have a place to cry.
"So, you'd better be careful."
Li Xiaowan's lips squirmed, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, and after a while, Li Xiaowan came back to his senses.
Looking at An Xiaojiu, who was embroidering seriously in front of the window, Li Xiaowan had a feeling of disbelief.
I got up from the soft couch, leaned in to take a look, and couldn't help asking, "Can you really embroider?" ”
She never thought that one day Jun Jiusi would embroider!
The two of them are very imaginary to a certain extent.
Embroidery?
That's impossible.
But since he came back, Jun Jiusi actually showed a lot of patience to embroider.
This made Li Xiaowan stunned, full of disbelief.
"Otherwise, it would be boring to stay. When embroidering, the mind is quiet, and the whole world is quiet. And I'm also a prenatal education. ”
The meaning of prenatal education was explained by Jun Jiusi and Li Xiaowan.
But......
"If it's a girl, forget it, if it's a son, you teach your son to embroider?"
The tail note rises up, clearly showing the speaker's surprise.
Jun Jiusi was helpless, and glanced at Li Xiaowan: "Can't it be patience, or something?" ”
Even if it's a daughter, she doesn't mean prenatal embroidery?
It's just that embroidery can exercise patience, and she thinks it's not bad.
It's ancient times, and there's no classical music or anything, so what else can she teach?
