Chapter 71: The dowry is fifteen taels
Today, since the father and son of the Hu family came to discuss their relatives, they had to put the relationship between the two on the surface, and when everyone in the Fang family accepted this matter, they officially began to say.
Hu Xiucai said, "I don't know if you have any plans for the dowry?" ”
This matter was too sudden, so the Wen family didn't want to say it directly, but let Jiang He speak, Jiang Jingxue was their daughter, and in the final analysis, it was up to the husband and wife to make the decision.
Jiang He and Fang glanced at each other, and the other party's meaning was clear to him, and then Jiang He said, "We don't have any requirements for the dowry, we can do whatever we want, Shang Xuan is a good boy, we also know that Xue'er can find such a good match, it was originally the favor of God, where can we ask for more?" It's just that this dowry is the face of the daughter's family, and it's not too shabby, and the rest depends on your own arrangement. ”
Hu Xiucai said, "Then let's set a dowry of fifteen taels of silver, and the rest will be done according to the rules, how about it?" ”
Everyone didn't speak, in fact, in their opinion, five taels of silver are already enough, and the number of people who marry their daughters is generally this number, otherwise it will be seven or eight taels of silver, and a little more will be ten taels, and you can get fifteen taels at once, which is already a lot, where is there any dissatisfaction?
Jiang He said, "The Hu family has a heart for Xue'er, and we naturally won't give our daughter face, and we will prepare as much dowry as we want, but you should also know the situation in our family, and now we don't even have a house of our own, so we have to let Xue'er suffer a little grievance for the time being." ”
Hu Xiucai smiled and said, "As long as the two children live a good life, everything on the side is empty, come to the door today, that is to say, this matter, let the two families have a number in their hearts, and the relationship of the two children is agreed, as for the proposal, I will immediately let people watch the day, you let the Song matchmaker help watch the family, and this matter will be entrusted to the Song matchmaker, I will arrange it, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Wen smiled and said, "That's naturally good, Xiucai couldn't be more relieved." ”
Today is a door-to-door discussion, and they came early, so it's okay not to stay for dinner, so the matter is settled, and the Hu family father and son will go back.
Jiang Jingxue was surrounded in the middle, and everyone in the family looked at her, and after a while, Wen said, "Xue'er, why didn't you tell us about such an important matter in advance?" Song Matchmaker is still showing you family affairs, if you really meet the right one, and you come to the door again, what should you do then? Although a good girl should be begged for, but now you have a bad reputation by the Li family, and then so, I'm afraid it's not good, you! The heart is really big, and I don't talk about it. ”
Jiang Jingxue pinched her fingers, "This is what I said, how do I know that he is serious, mother-in-law, it's not too late, Song Matchmaker has a word over there, and he will talk about this matter first, and there will be nothing on the side." ”
Wen smiled, "That's natural, don't worry, now that the family has agreed, you don't have to work in the field, and you can make the things you need to get married at home." ”
Jiang Jingxue hurriedly said, "I won't be in a hurry to get married, wouldn't it be okay to set the family affairs before March?" As for the wedding dress or something, do it slowly. ”
Wen Shi took her hand, "I know you want to marry later, but Shang Xuan is already eighteen, so we have to take care of the Hu family's meaning, what do you say?" If they want to get married this year, it's not easy to shirk this matter, besides, you don't want to get married, you want to take care of the family, the Hu family is a village with us, you can go back to your parents' house anytime and anywhere, the Hu family is not an unreasonable person, help the family a little, they won't say anything, Xue'er, this is not the time to be willful, it was not easy to say such a good family matter, this time it can't be any more yellow. ”
Jiang Jingxue also knew that what she said made sense, so she nodded lightly, which was considered to be a response.
The whole family was very happy, all smiling, happy for a while, and went to work in the field with a hoe.
Jiang He and the Fang clan lagged behind a little, pulled Jiang Jingxue to the house, and talked for a while.
Jiang He asked seriously, "Is it really not him who forced you?" Xue'er, now it's just me and your mother, if you have anything to say anything to be ashamed of, you can tell us, if that kid from the Hu family forces you, I will never let him go, what if he is the son of Xiucaigong? I'm not rare. ”
Jiang Jingxue's heart was warm, knowing that her father and mother were worried about herself, after all, this matter was too sudden, who knew what else was going on in the middle?
She smiled slightly, "Daddy, don't worry, it really wasn't him who forced me, in fact, I took the initiative to find him, saying that I wanted to marry him, looking like that, he should also have a plan, so he hit it off, today taking into account my face, he didn't say it, but said that the two of us agreed, Daddy, I didn't have the slightest reluctance, I was really willing, he is indeed a good person, so to speak, are you relieved?" ”
As soon as she explained this, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and slapped his thigh, "Okay, this is really good, find a good son-in-law, Xue'er, don't worry, before you get married, your father will work hard to earn a dowry for you, and he will definitely not let you marry too shabby, and he will give you as much as he can when the time comes." ”
Jiang Jingxue said, "Dad, I will earn it myself, besides, if he is really a good match, I just don't bring a dowry, and they won't bully me, there is no one in the Hu family, I don't have a concubine, and there is no one who usually talks about it, I am not afraid of this, the Hu family gives fifteen taels of dowry silver, and the family will make up a few more pieces, it should be enough for thirty taels, and then my father will take it to the Bai family to propose marriage, and the brother's family affairs will also be officially determined, my brother really likes Hexiang, and he can't let him down." ”
Jiang He shook his head, "This is not good, I am willing to bow my head to borrow money from anyone, but I will not move your dowry silver, fifteen taels of silver, a lot of money, all brought back to the Hu family for you, my father and mother have raised you for so many years, not for your dowry silver, you are our baby girl, although I have not had a good life since I was a child, but my father also put you in the palm of his hand, in the past, my father did not understand, filial piety to your grandparents, wronged you, and will never be again." ”
Jiang Jingxue said, "Dad, I know that you and my mother are afraid that I will be wronged and will not touch this silver, but now there is more important in front of me, it has not been long, the Bai family wants thirty taels of silver, even if my mother-in-law is willing to lend us money, she can't borrow so much, what else can I do?" Let's take this money to the emergency first, and when I have the silver, my father will return the money to me, and I will accept it, how about it? ”
