Chapter 69 - Paying Private Money (Asking for the First Order)
"Cui'er, don't be angry." Lian Qingshan saw that Cui'er's scolding was almost extinguished, quietly took Cui'er's hand, took Cui'er to his side, with a smile on his face, and squeezed Cui'er's hand tightly, "Cui'er, you are my wife, and you will not change in this life." ”
Cui'er listened to Lian Qingshan's words, and felt that she was in the mood of a volcanic eruption just now, but miraculously turned into a mountain forest after the rain, clear and open, as if there was no trouble at all.
No, there are still a little troubles, Cui'er frowned slightly, although this Cui Niang in front of her is not afraid, but she and Lian Qingshan are not the two of them, but they do not have the words of the matchmaker of their parents, this kind of free love is nothing in modern times, but it is a big unruly in ancient times.
"Trust me!" Lian Qingshan saw Cui'er's expression change, and laughed lowly as if no one was around, and clenched Cui'er's hand tightly, "Fellow villagers, today's matter is all a misunderstanding, and it is clearly written on the household registration of the family, I only have one wife for Cui'er, as for the person who bought it with silver on the side, it is just to serve the girl bought by our family." ”
When Cui'er heard this, she couldn't help but grow her mouth in surprise, and looked at Lian Qingshan blankly, a pair of water and brightness seemed to be saying that such a thing can't lie.
"Don't be afraid, it's true!" Lian Qingshan understood Cui'er's thoughts, and smiled at Cui'er.
The villagers who were watching the excitement on the side heard this, and they all started to talk about it, it turned out that this Cui'er was on the household post, so what else is there to say, this is a sure thing, there must be no fake, and they all pointed the finger at the Cui Niang just now.
It's just that at this time, where can you still see Cui Niang in front of the door of Lian's house? After she heard that Cui'er had gone to the household post just now, she immediately fled, although a few sharp-eyed women saw her and wanted to escape, and kept scolding, but there was no way to stop her from escaping. By the time the villagers reacted, Cui Niang had already escaped without a shadow.
"Here, please also ask the villagers to witness it, because Qingshan's health was not good before, although it was on the household post. But the wedding to Cui'er has been delayed, and thanks to her careful service to me regardless of these customs, otherwise my grave should be able to grow grass. Lian Qingshan looked at the villagers with an indignant look, and his heart moved, wanting to take this opportunity to correct Cui'er's name. Cui'er is always the daughter-in-law who was called and bought by her younger sister Dong, and even Qingshan's heart is very unhappy.
"Qingshan would like to ask you to witness that Cui'er is affectionate and righteous to me, although it is unreasonable to live at home and take care of me before the marriage. But I was really forced to be helpless, I have invited Aunt Lu to be a matchmaker, and I will handle the marriage with Cui'er for me, and I will invite you to come over for a glass of wine! When Lian Qingshan said this, he solemnly saluted to the three aunts and six women who were watching. With such a serious and pious demeanor, Cui'er, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but have red eyes and covered her mouth.
"Well said!" At this moment, an old man in his fifties walked from behind the crowd, wearing a green cloth robe, and he looked like a gentleman, who was the village chief of the mountain.
"Village Chief!" Lian Qingshan saw the village chief coming. Hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "When the time comes, I will have a relationship with Cui'er, and I will invite you to come over for a glass of wine." ”
"That's nature, a good girl like Cui'er, our old Lian family naturally can't treat her badly!" The village chief laughed and stroked his beard and said, and explained two more sentences. Then he turned and left. Although the village chief didn't say much, his attention to Lian Qingshan and his praise for Cui'er really reached the hearts of every villager present.
"This is the best, our village chief will come to drink at that time, and I will be the big matchmaker. This family affair will definitely be lively. Aunt Lu walked out of the crowd, saluted the village chief who was passing by a while, and asked Cui'er to help Lian Qingshan enter the house, and she stood at the door to help play the round, and ordered a few familiar mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to say that they wanted to help Zhang Luo's marriage, and persuaded the villagers who were watching the excitement, and when everyone was almost gone, Aunt Lu exhaled a long breath and followed Aunt Chunzhu into the courtyard of Lian's house.
"Today's matter is really hanging, fortunately, Qingshan has insight, if it weren't for Qingshan's opening a household post in the town yesterday, I don't know how it will end today." Although Aunt Lu is a well-known mother-in-law in the village, this kind of scene is also rare, she pinched a handful of sweat and said to Lian Qingshan and Cui'er.
"It's just that when I heard this, I was sweating!" Aunt Chunzhu smiled, and complained to Lian Qingshan, "Your family has such a big matter, why don't you talk to your aunt, if you don't encounter such a thing, your aunt can help you say something or something." ”
"Auntie, it's me who is not good." Lian Qingshan looked at Aunt Chunzhu's disgusted appearance, and apologized with a smile.
"Okay, you two are tired of making zongzi and delivering things today, coax the children well, rest early, and I'll come to give you Zhang Luo the things you want to buy tomorrow morning." Aunt Lu said with a smile.
looked at the big girl and Xiaohu in Cui'er's arms still looked frightened, and then looked at Cui'er, who was coaxing the child with low eyebrows, and liked Cui'er's gentle temperament when she should be gentle, so she waved her hand, pulled Aunt Chunzhu and Sister-in-law Yinhuan and left.
When Lian Qingshan sent a few people away, and there were only four of them left in the house, his heart suddenly relaxed. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, if it weren't for Cui Niang's coming to make trouble, I wouldn't know how to tell Cui'er about helping her enter the household, and I don't know how to open my mouth to hold a wedding for Cui'er.
"Cui'er, let's have a wedding in a few days, would you like to?" Lian Qingshan looked at the two children lying in Cui'er's arms, a little frightened, stretched out his hand to hold the big girl to his side, and asked Cui'er with a little weakness.
"Aren't you all booked, why are you asking me again?" Cui'er was asked by Lian Qingshan, only to feel that her cheeks were very hot, and by helping Xiaohu sort out her clothes, she hurriedly glanced at Lian Qingshan, and saw that he was looking at herself gently and attentively, and her pretty face turned even redder, "It's good if you say yes!" ”
"Hehe......" Lian Qingshan moved closer to Cui'er, grabbed Cui'er's shoulder, and smiled more and more happily, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!
Even the emotions between Qingshan and Cui'er seem to have affected the big girl and Xiaohu. The two of them saw that their father and mother were happy and relaxed, so they gradually relaxed, and the family made dinner, and the big girl and Xiaohu were both tired during the day. After a while, I fell asleep.
The sun hadn't set yet, Cui'er thought about it for a while, so she took the money box and sat on the kang to count the silver.
"Cui'er...... I have something to tell you. Lian Qingshan saw Cui'er take the money box out, rubbed it to Cui'er's side, and said to Cui'er, "When I gave you an account post, I took a piece of silver from the money box, and it cost a total of two taels." ”
"It cost two taels!" Cui'er was really surprised, two taels of silver. It's 2,000 yuan, if you just rely on Lian Qingshan to weave wicker baskets, a basket is only 15 yuan, and you have to make more than 130 baskets, at least half a year. Even if it is more profitable to sell tea yourself. I also have to sell four catties of ordinary tea, these four catties of tea can't be made without two months of hard work.
"Cui'er, don't worry, when I get better, I will go hunting in the mountains, and I will be able to earn the money back soon." Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er with a slight frown. Knowing that she was a little distressed about the silver, she hurriedly assured Cui'er.
"Go, who told you this!" Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's anxious face, thinking of his previous maintenance of himself, and the little unhappiness in his heart about Lian Qingshan's hiding from himself quickly disappeared.
Cui'er looked straight at Lian Qingshan. He said in a very sincere tone, "Qingshan, we are a family, and you have to discuss the major affairs of the family with me in the future." ”
"Good. Cui'er, I listen to you! Lian Qingshan nodded seriously when he heard this, and the two looked at each other and smiled, before he lowered his head seriously and looked at the silver in the money box.
"That's right!" Cui'er suddenly slapped her face, hurriedly walked out of the house, and after a while, she came in from outside, with a small silk cloth bag the size of a palm in her hand, and opened the small bag, revealing the gold and silver jewelry inside, and a little scattered silver, "Hehe, I still haven't told you anything, these are the silver taels I brought with me when I woke up, and I didn't think about whether to stay or not, so I hid outside." ”
"Cui'er......" Lian Qingshan was slightly stunned when he saw those gold and silver jewelry, then lowered his head slightly, and said in a dumb voice after a while, "Cui'er, looking at the appearance of these jewelry, you must have been the daughter of a big family before, marry me as a daughter-in-law...... I've really wronged you. ”
Even Qingshan had already added Cui'er to his household registration, and he couldn't say anything to let Cui'er go, not to mention that he was reluctant to let Cui'er go, he leaned forward and said to Cui'er seriously, "Cui'er, don't worry, I will definitely be good to you." ”
"Well, I believe you!" Cui'er said with a smile, and was about to put the silver and jewelry in the small bag into the money box, but was stopped by Lian Qingshan.
"Cui'er, you can keep this silver and jewelry, I have money." Lian Qingshan said to Cui'er, looking at Cui'er's puzzled look, Lian Qingshan turned around and went to the top of the kang, removed the baffle under the kang cabinet, and then stretched out his hand and took out a cloth bag inside.
Almost instantly, Cui'er thought of what was in the cloth bag, presumably, it was also money, right?
Lian Qingshan opened the cloth bag, and there were four heavy silver ingots the size of a fist, each with fifty taels, Cui'er's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Lian Qingshan who was looking at her with a smile, and was speechless in surprise.
"This silver, I was rewarded for my exploits on the battlefield, I didn't spend it, I was going to go home to marry my daughter-in-law, and then I took my sister-in-law to escape and came back, and I couldn't marry my daughter-in-law, so I thought about giving it to the big girl and Xiaohu in the future......" Lian Qingshan's face was red, and he scratched his hair a little embarrassed, and honestly pushed the silver ingot forward, "These will be given to you in the future." ”
Cui'er looked at the silver that fell from the sky in a daze, and said in her heart that she was begging for food with a golden rice bowl, even Qingshan had so much silver, and looked at her clown like earning dozens of big money from selling baskets, and suddenly pouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you had the silver, when I went to talk about business and sell tea in baskets, did you laugh at me in your heart and think I was stupid?" ”
"No, Cui'er is the most capable, if it weren't for you, I would have starved to death even if I was guarding this silver!" Lian Qingshan hurriedly said loyally, with a slight loss in his tone, but Cui'er instantly understood that he was holding a large pile of silver at the time, but he had no way out, and was almost starved to death.
"Bah, bah, don't say dead words again!" Cui'er glared at him angrily, turned her head to look at the silver, and then looked at the silver in her own money box, and sighed, "Qingshan, keep these silver for when there is a big event in the family, and then use it, if you take Da Niu and Xiaohu to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors in the future, we still have a lot of places to use money." ”
As she spoke, Cui'er stretched out her hand to wrap the silver ingot, and let Lian Qingshan put it back in its place, then thought about it, and threw the five taels of broken silver in her small bag into the money box, and the gold and silver jewelry were wrapped again and placed in the kang cabinet.
The two sat on the kang, counted the shiny silver in the money box, and Cui'er took a small section of blackened carbon branches from the kitchen, and solemnly wrote down a note in the account book.
On the first day of the fifth month, Cui'er's dowry silver was recorded in the account, totaling eighteen taels of silver, three thousand and forty-five big money, and even Qingshan's private silver of two hundred taels was not included in the accounts, but it was under Cui'er's management.
