Chapter 282: Buying a Dowry

On the second day, Lan Yi's eyes were swollen like peaches. She was embarrassed to apply the egg for a long time before she looked better. Zheng looked heartbroken, but didn't say anything, her daughter was getting married, and she had to learn to solve these problems by herself.

After breakfast, Yu'er couldn't wait to go out to school with her schoolbag, and the wheat harvest holiday was over. Wen Xuan followed the Jia family to play at home, and the Zheng family, Chunrong and Lan Yi rushed to the county seat with an ox cart to prepare the dowry.

According to the list written yesterday, Lan Yi led her mother and eldest brother to shop next to each other to make a big purchase, and the ox cart couldn't fit it in half a day. Looking at the small objects such as the buckets, washbasins, fruit plates, handbaskets, bowls, teapots, teacups, sewing boxes and other small objects on the ox cart, Lan Yi couldn't help but sigh again that the dowry of the eldest Zhou married daughter was complete, no wonder so many families felt that raising their daughters was a loss.

Because these small objects are used on weekdays, Lan Yi insists on choosing good quality and low price. Subsequently, Chunrong drove the ox cart back to his home in Beigou Village to unload the goods, and Lan Yi accompanied the Zheng family to continue shopping, and now he has bought mainly commonly used cloth accessories: such as curtains, door curtains, tablecloths, coarse cloths, linen cloths, etc. If it weren't for the list, Lan Yi would have fainted, which is more complete than what she bought when she got married in the 21st century!

The mother and son walked around for three days, and a cart of things was pulled back to Lan Yi's house, neatly stacked half of the house, and Zheng took the list and carefully checked it twice before nodding and saying that it was almost.

Lan Yi and Wang Chunrong saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, and at the same time let out a sigh of relief, and finally survived!

Subsequently, the dowry is counted and the dowry list is listed, which is the dowry certificate that the woman holds after marrying into the man's family. Zheng repeatedly stressed the importance of this list, and it was important to list every item. From the wardrobe to a teacup, she didn't let it go. It took two days of work. Looking at the eight-page list, Lan Yi was a little dizzy when she looked at it again.

Among the dowry lists, the most valuable is the hundred-acre Zhuangzi Chengnanzhuang in the south of Meixian County; The second is all kinds of jewelry, the emerald bracelets and wrenches rewarded by Mrs. Zhou are the best, followed by gold and silver. Then there is the fabric: three colored brocades, one pink silk, and two purple yarns. Two dark silk horses, two wool woven Buddha blankets, and one blue, brown, and purple cotton cloth. Most of these fabrics were congratulatory gifts from Mrs. Zhou and Xia Wan.

This time Zheng came over. Xia Wan also asked the Zheng family to bring a lot of gifts for Lan Yi, saying that it was a gift to congratulate her, because she was afraid that she would not be able to come back in a hurry. Xia Wan sent it, except for the three golden hairpins. There is also cloth and two pairs of blue and white jade pot spring bottles. The arc of the spring bottle changes softly. Skimming the mouth, thin neck, hanging abdomen, circle feet, painting plum blossoms or cultivating bamboo, there are indeed a few points of "jade pot to buy spring, enjoy the rain and the house; The elegance of "Jiashi, left and right bamboo" is very in line with Lan Yi's taste.

The rest of the dowry is Lan Yi's four seasons change of clothes, bedding, furniture and daily necessities. Three days before she got married, there would be good sisters who came to send makeup, and Beigou Village was more embroidery and jewelry. For example, the Baizi quilt that Chen is embroidering, these will also be added to the dowry list at the end. That is, the list will be longer.

In addition to the things listed on the list, there is also a large amount of silver money and shares in Shang Ji in Lan Yi's hand, but these are inconvenient to list. Even without these, Lan Yi's dowry was enough to amaze the women of the entire Beigou Village for several years.

In the next few days, in addition to taking the Zheng family to the fields and hillsides for a few turns, Lan Yi was detained by her mother in the house to maintain her skin and hair, as well as teach her various principles of being a wife, which made Lan Yi nervous, and even suffered from premarital phobia, and did not want to marry several times.

In addition, according to local customs, on the first morning after she got married, she would meet Zhou Weiji's relatives and give colorful pieces, ingenious works or shoes and socks to show her respect, and the newly married daughters-in-law in the village gave shoes and socks more.

Zhou Weiji's parents died early, his grandfather is still alive, in addition to Lan Yi's own shoes and socks, Zheng also prepared a green jade rich and auspicious ornament for his daughter. This ornament has the size of a palm, although the jade material is not precious, but the color of the green jade itself is used properly, the carving is exquisite, the meaning is good, and it is suitable to give to the elderly as a gift. The rest of the Zhou family members, such as Zhou Weiji's eldest uncle, second uncle and fourth uncle, three couples, Lan Yi is going to give away shoes made by herself. In addition to these people, there are also Zhou Weiji's sister Zhou Yue'e's clothes, Lan Yi also has to prepare, of course, Zhou Weiji's clothes are better prepared.......

That's a couple of pairs of shoes and a couple of clothes! Lan Yi made shoes and clothes according to the size sent to her by Zhou Weipeng's wife Yang, and when she was dizzy, she couldn't help but sigh that she was married in the summer, otherwise she would have made winter boots and cotton clothes!

With her daughter locked up at home, Zheng had the opportunity to experience a farmhouse. She followed Jia up the hill to feed the ducks, weed, herd the sheep, etc., and was very busy. Wang Chunrong followed Lin Xilin Yuan to go around between the hillside, the oil mill, and the shop, and Lan Yi had already discussed with him the management method of Chengnanzhuang, and he insisted on sharing 30% of his income, which also made Wang Chunrong full of energy, and always wanted to cooperate with Lin Xi and the two to open a store in Meixian to sell mountain goods or vegetable oil. However, after all, he is still a slave of the Wang family, and it is difficult to make decisions with his hands and feet, so he can't help but count his fingers and count, there are still two years, and there are still two years...... Then he squatted on the ground stupidly and drew circles and laughed, seeing that Lan Yi wanted to kick him out several times.

In the blink of an eye, it was in the scorching heat of June, the walnuts in the mountains could be harvested, and the grocery store jointly opened by the eighth wife and the second sister-in-law and the cow's sister-in-law was lively again, and the village people who came to sell mountain goods every day lined up in a long line. Pecans are more expensive this year than last year, and people in the village go into the forest to pick walnuts in groups, and even people from other villages also run in to pick them and send them to Beigou Village.

Of course, the most expensive thing sold in the Qingshan oil shop is peony seed oil, but the price of walnut oil has also risen this year. Because the benefits of walnut oil are becoming more and more recognized by everyone. Walnut oil is most suitable for the elderly and children with weak stomachs, because of the obvious effect, it is very popular with customers, and the price will naturally go up. The price of hazelnut oil and pine nut oil is much lower, because they don't taste as good and the selling point is not obvious. In fact, Lan Yi knows that this hazelnut oil can prevent cancer and is a high-end vegetable oil, but the people of Dazhou do not understand the word cancer, let alone the horror of cancer, and it is very difficult to promote. Hazelnut oil has such a high value, only selling rapeseed oil at the price, Lan Yi is still difficult to accept, after she discussed with the steward of the oil mill, the hazelnuts collected only squeezed out a small amount of hazelnut oil to ensure that the family eats and sells, and the remaining hazelnuts are used to make dry goods, or directly resold in other places, or fried into dried fruits that can be used as snacks, which is more popular than hazelnut oil. It is worth mentioning that Lan Yi also sent some hazelnut oil to Jishantang Lang Zhongliang Jin, hoping that he could discover the value of this oil.

Extraneous words: Today is the last day of this month, and starting next month, Antarctic Blue will work hard again. We look forward to your continued attention and support. (To be continued......)
