Chapter 186: Ninety-nine taels of silver, a long time
After the ninth box was opened, the lively courtyard was quiet for a moment.
But soon, more lively voices erupted.
Several men who were sitting with Old Man Zhao looked at Old Man Zhao and congratulated him very enviously: "Your granddaughter said that she is a good husband!" ”
Old man Zhao didn't speak, but he grinned, and his face was full of red light.
Some women who don't deal well with Mrs. Zhao also smiled at this time: "Her grandmother, your grandson-in-law is really good." ”
It's true that things aren't particularly precious, but which son-in-law would have this kind of thought?
This is what people envy and relish!
Mrs. Zhao smiled from ear to ear, and a flower was about to bloom on her face, she only felt that Ling Yehan gave her family a long face.
Looking at Ling Yehan at this time, I only felt that the young offspring was very handsome and good-looking.
Others praised her, but she didn't want to follow the praise, so she pretended to be humble and said a few words, and was worried that the man was too much to belittle her granddaughter, so she pulled Zhao Xiaohe out and praised her.
As soon as they heard her praise her granddaughter, the others immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, if it weren't for Xiao He's smart and filial piety, it would be difficult to attract such an outstanding man." ”
The courtyard was lively inside and outside, and the atmosphere was pushed to the climax, and everyone began to look forward to the last box.
This is the last one, so it can't be more than the previous one, right?
Could it be the legendary fifty-tael dowry?
Everyone looked expectantly, and after Hou Jingwu opened it, everyone looked and found that there seemed to be nothing in the box.
"Huh? An empty box? ”
"What does this mean? How can you still pick and choose? ”
"Don't be in a hurry, the preparation is wrong, right?"
Everyone was speculating, but Hou Jingwu stretched out his hand and took out a deed from the bottom of the box.
"This is the shop that our son prepared for Miss Zhao, ...... in front of Chang'an Street in Hui County."
Hou Jingwu said that there was another shop that was hired, and everyone suddenly exploded, which was even more explosive than the fifty taels of silver.
Even the Zhao family and Zhao Xiaohe were stunned.
For Zhao Ling, who was going to give a shop as a dowry at that time, he looked at Ling Yehan in surprise, full of people who couldn't look good.
This guy is worthy of being the destined male protagonist, and he really knows everything about doing things, and even the shop is ready.
That's all spent so much, there shouldn't be much money left in his bride price, right?
Zhao Ling was still thinking about this, but Ling Yehan had already cooperated with the warm atmosphere of the scene and took out the dowry money he was carrying.
It is also a small box, only the size of a palm, but it is beautiful red, and there is a red ribbon tied on it.
After he took it out, he untied the ribbon, opened the small box, and then solemnly handed it to Boss Zhao, who was standing not far away.
"Uncle, this is the dowry money I prepared for Xiao He, a total of ninety-nine taels of silver, which means a long time."
As soon as he heard that it was full of ninety-nine taels of silver, Boss Zhao looked at the pile of silver tickets with a denomination of ten and some broken silver, and was stupid in place.
He had never seen so much silver, let alone a silver ticket, but he knew the eye-catching official seal on it.
This...... Even if you bring something, why do you pay back so much money?
Boss Zhao moved back half a step in fear, if it weren't for his brother supporting him behind, he might have to shrink back.
Mrs. Zhao was also stunned for a moment, remembering that day Ling Yehan said, more than fifty taels of silver.
It turned out that he had already prepared to give ninety-nine taels.
Mrs. Zhao didn't have to be as unsupportable as Boss Zhao, but she was still shocked and up and down in her heart, and she didn't react for a moment.
But soon, because of the strange silence in the courtyard, she still came back to her senses and looked at Zhao Ling first.
Zhao Ling was also surprised for a moment, but he was not so shocked, and after discovering Zhao Pozi's pleading eyes, Zhao Ling nodded.
Mrs. Zhao felt a lot more at ease at this time, and hurriedly reminded Boss Zhao: "Boss, the child is talking to you!" ”
This title suddenly became much closer.
Boss Zhao came back to his senses at this time, but he blushed and didn't dare to answer.
Mrs. Zhao reminded him again: "Today is a good day, don't care how much the dowry is, start first." ”
Boss Zhao took the small box head-on, but he felt a little hot and panicked.
Zhao Ling looked at this scene with a smile, and waited until everyone was shocked before reminding Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, Ling Gongzi and his party have worked hard, please go and sit inside." ”
"Yes, yes, go and sit in the house."
They beckoned people to come into the house, and someone put away all the dowry gifts, re-covered the box and carried it into Zhao Xiaohe's house.
The Zhao Xiaohe sisters live in the same house, which was originally a small house, but now that there are so many boxes, there is no place to stay.
Zhao Xiaocao felt cramped, so he simply went out to help in the kitchen, only Zhao Xiaohe sat inside, looking at these boxes with a blushing face.
In fact, everything brought her joy and joy, but the deed of the shop made her feel complicated.
At that moment, she understood that Ling Yehan was real, and she completely took her to heart.
Otherwise, why should he think about making money to buy a shop, and gave her the name of the deed owner early.
Zhao Xiaohe was thinking wildly, and suddenly there were several lively voices at the door of the house, and when she looked up, they were all the envied mothers and daughters-in-law in the village.
They leaned at the door and looked inside, their eyes were all focused on the box, and some even said with a smile that they wanted Zhao Xiaohe to open the box to see those beautiful jewelry and open their eyes.
Zhao Xiaohe frowned subconsciously, a little unhappy in his heart.
Showing the dowry and dowry, that is the custom here.
But after the sun is finished, the owner's house is put away, and other people will no longer look at it, otherwise it will be very impolite.
But these aunts and daughters-in-law all came over to see, and they were obviously bullying her, a little girl who was young and thin-skinned!
Zhao Xiaohe clenched his hands, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard her sister-in-law's pleasant voice: "What are you looking at?" ”
Zhao Xiaohe immediately raised his head to look out, and the others also hurriedly turned their heads.
Seeing Zhao Ling coming over with a smile, everyone unconsciously made a way and told her to come into the house.
Zhao Ling was used to living in a relatively spacious room, and when he stepped into this small room at first glance, he only felt extremely cramped.
After a pause at the door, she said, "So lively? I just heard from everyone that you want to see Xiao He's jewelry? ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately stopped, and no one wanted to answer.
Zhao Ling turned his head and said with a smile: "Today is a good day, and I understand everyone's thoughts of joining in the fun." But the aunts and sisters-in-law also know that the dowry is a sensitive thing. Today, when everyone counts the things that have been counted, if there are one or two missing the next day, the people who appear at that time will not be able to tell, and everyone will be suspicious. ”
"Everyone is a neighbor, why is it because of this excitement that it hurts the peace? I'm more straightforward, but my sisters-in-law should understand what I mean, right? ”
