Chapter Ninety-Seven: Then Retreat?

Seeing this, the subordinates of the family and the guys in front of them worked harder than before.

Time flashed to May 26, and this day was the day when the Feng family hired the Lu family.

Qiao Mai didn't go, and sent two cooks over.

In the afternoon, the shopkeeper Lu came to her house to look for her, and his face was not good-looking.

"Girl, I really got you right."

"How much dowry?"

"Thirty lifts, I have read the gift list, and checked the dowry again, and the full sum does not exceed one thousand taels of silver."

"Don't be upset, there are many children and grandchildren in the Feng family, and there are several scholars, although they are a little rich, but they are only on the surface, you give Ruxin a rich dowry, his family does not dare to be greedy for her dowry, after marrying into his family, Ruxin's waist board also stands straight, we are married."

"Alas, I shouldn't be in such a hurry, I should have waited, if it weren't for my friend's relatives, I really wanted to quit this family business."

"Each has its own well, at least you have a young talented son-in-law, and the future is bright."

"That's what I said, but I'm just unhappy in my heart, and I don't give a dowry price, which is to look down on my daughter."

"Then retreat?"

"Forget it, let's do it."

"Haha, you, you can't have both, everything can't be perfect, and the same is true for son-in-law."

"In the future, if he dares to lose my daughter, I will find someone to kill him."

"I don't need you to make a move, I, as a master, will definitely break him into pieces."

"Hehe, it's too serious."

"Did Xin'er start embroidering wedding dresses?"

"I didn't let her embroider, I ordered it directly from Fucheng, and a set cost two hundred taels of silver."

"It's not a loss, it's my mother, I'm really willing to do it."

"Once in a lifetime, you must be willing to give it."

Seeing that Lu Sanniang mentioned her daughter, her eyebrows fluttered, and her mood improved for no reason.

Ling'er is still young, and she will marry in the future, and she, who is a mother, will also let her daughter marry from the beautiful family.

The next day, Qiao Mai asked Yuehong and Yuexia to carry a box, she took Ling'er to the embroidery village, and when the landing shopkeeper and Ruyi's face, she gave Ruxin a thousand taels of silver tickets, two double-sided embroidered palace fans, and a double-sided embroidered screen to add makeup.

Ruxin was moved and cried, except for her mother in this world, it was the master who treated their sisters well.

not only taught her the craft, but also gave such a valuable makeup.

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down for Qiao Mai, and she helped Ruxin up.

"It's not good to be a master, it's good for an apprentice, it's good for whom? If you get married in a year at night, the master will add more makeup, your mother hates to marry, and let you marry out so early, if I want me to say that I have to keep you for another year or two. ”

Ruxin's face flushed, "I listen to my mother's arrangement, and it's not far away, if I want to come back, I will arrive in an hour by carriage." ”

As soon as she heard the meaning of this, Qiao Mai knew that this girl was very willing to seal the kid of the family.

Alas~ The woman is not staying, she only has that man in her eyes, and she doesn't think about the future days at all, there must be love, no matter how hard the days are, they are sweet, right?

So Youyou said, "Sister, you must remember to take the dowry gift list to the government for the case." ”

As soon as she said this, she immediately alerted Lu Sanniang.

"Yes, our dowry is many times that of their dowry, my daughter is docile, I can't be cheated by their family in the future, sister, you remind me well, I'll go to the yamen tomorrow."

"Well, you can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, and we must protect our hard-earned money."

"Got it,"

The things that should be done have been done, the explanations that should be explained, and there is nothing to do, she took Ling'er to the shop.

At this time, when the shop was crowded, some old customers were resting at the table outside, and they saw her busy saying hello.

"I said, Mrs. Qiao, what are you doing at home all day, we are all waiting for you to come here to make food."

"If you don't do it today, I'm tired, I'll go home after playing with my daughter for a while."

"Yo, how old is my girl?"

"It's more than a year and three months old."

"It's so beautiful, you're not very old, but you can really raise children, this little look is really smart."

"Eat well, dress well, and it will be like this."

Everyone looked at Ling'er in her arms, envious, the clothes on her body, the jade on the silver collar she was wearing, and the delicate shoes, all of which revealed Qiao Mai's love for children.

Some people whispered, "I heard that Mrs. Qiao gave birth to a girl before she left her, and she died a few days before she was born, she is so good to this girl, I'm afraid it's for the girl in front of her, right?" ”

"I guess, I heard that birthdays are all the same day."

"Oh, it's hard for her."

Qiao Mai's ear power has been quite sensitive since she practiced the Inner Strength Heart Method and the Immortal Cultivation Secret Book, and she heard everything they said.

It's just that she pretended not to hear, and the corners of her lips were hooked, and this is what she wanted.

The world thinks that it is her adopted daughter, so the Tian family will not think about Ling'er in the future.

The child is hers alone, she doesn't allow the dirty hand of the Tian family to reach towards Ling'er, if one day, if she really hits Ling'er's idea, she doesn't mind killing all the Tian family.

On May 27, Yuan Jiaqi and the children returned.

Seeing Mr. Wang, Qiao Mai had a little headache, and this old gentleman couldn't rest for a few days, so he followed back.

But when she came back this time, she didn't let them sit idle.

Other people's wheat has been harvested, and her family's five acres of land have not been confiscated, just waiting for them to come back.

The tenants took all the sixty acres of land, and one acre of land was given three hundred catties of grain.

Today, the wind and rain are good, and 500 catties per mu are harvested, and the tenants get 200 catties per mu, and the family also has 4,000 catties of grain.

They don't have to worry about anything, and they get a net of 4,000 catties, and these three tenants are very happy.

Qiao's family paid 100 catties of grain tax per mu, 65 mu is 6,500 catties, and 11,500 catties of wheat.

If these five acres of land are harvested, there will be more than 14,000 catties of wheat in the warehouse, which is enough for a year's calamity for this family.

When it comes to autumn, you can harvest another wave.

The three tenant farmers planted corn, and the fertile land was generally planted with these, but only the barren land with poor harvest was planted with sweet potatoes, peanuts and other root crops.

The farm tools at home were ready, and Qiao Mai ordered more than a dozen sets in one go at the blacksmith shop.

In addition to the two girls of the cook, Niang and Yuehong, one has to cook, the other has to watch the children, and the others have all gone to the field, even Mr. Wang wants to experience the feeling of harvesting wheat from the croppers.

Five acres of land, eight adults, three children, all harvested in one day, and there is no rain these days.

The ears of wheat were all dry, and there was no need to dry them at all, so I rubbed the ears directly on the open ground, and more than 2,000 catties of wheat took two days to go directly into the warehouse.

On the third day, Qiao Mai hired a tenant farmer of her family, ploughed the five acres of land, and planted the same corn seeds she provided.

When the rainy season comes, she doesn't want to toss, so she will plant this, wait for the corn to be harvested, and then plant vegetables in the winter again.

It was rare for the old gentleman to give them two more days off and stay at home for five days.

Because of the hot weather, the family either eats cold noodles or fried noodles, but fortunately, it will be accompanied by six delicious cold dishes, and Mr. is not picky.

He said that after doing work, eating is a fragrance.

When he left, he searched Qiao Mai's shop again, and he gave Qiao Mai his granddaughter's words.

Miss Wang said that she would come back when she moved, and she was now busy taking care of the family business, because the Wang family had a lot of money, and she couldn't get out of it.

Seeing that the date of handing over the new home was getting closer and closer, Qiao Mai ordered a few sika deer, a few red deer, and two cows, the first one she wanted deer antler velvet, and the second one she wanted musk, the main two of which were herbivorous, and she could plant them without worrying about their feed.
