Chapter Seventy-Two: Water Roots Married
Everyone in the Xiang family is busy, and the work of herding cattle falls to Xiangshan, and now he is the oldest child in the family, and he has to take on the burden of leading his younger brother to herd cattle and dig wild vegetables and collect firewood.
And the rich sister-in-law and the others are also busy all day long, not only to cook and wash clothes, but also to catch a few piglets and dozens of chickens at home, and the remaining four acres of land to clean up.
At this time, Grandma Xiang regretted it in her heart, if she hadn't been so careful at the beginning, she wouldn't know how worry-free it would be to hand over the four acres of land to Fubao.
When she mentioned the family affairs of the younger sister to her father and younger brother, as well as the bride price, the old man of the Wang family said that as long as the husband's family is good to the daughter, the bride price is meaningful, after all, their family has no extra money for dowry.
On the first day of June, Xianghanhe and his wife asked the matchmaker to bring a basket of eggs to the door of the Wang family, and the old man of the Wang family squinted his eyes happily, and he could send a basket of eggs, which was enough sincerity.
The little girl of the Wang family glanced at the portrait of Shuigen brought by the matchmaker, lowered her head and returned to her and her sister's room, without saying a word.
The veteran matchmaker understood at a glance that this girl should be willing, and the smile on her face deepened a little, as long as she said that the matchmaker was successful, she could get a hundred pieces of matchmaking silver.
A week later, the Xianghanhe couple and the perfume root went to the door of the Wang family with a bride price, a delicate purse containing five taels of silver, fifty catties of white rice and white flour, and two hundred catties of coarse grain.
These bride prices are a bit shabby, but they borrowed two cuts of pork from their brother-in-law's house and a basket of eggs from their eldest brother's house, so that at least they show their sincerity.
The old man of the Wang family happily accepted the bride price, he was very satisfied with this marriage, especially after seeing Shui Gen himself, his smile deepened a little.
Although this child does not look like Pan An's reincarnation, his appearance is not bad, and his eyes are clear, and he knows at a glance that he is a person who has no crooked eyes.
And his parents, their in-laws, who are loyal and honest, should not be able to do such an evil thing as grinding their daughter-in-law.
The little girl of the Wang family hid behind the door and peeked, and when he saw Perfume Gen's eyes looking at her, his face turned red and he hurriedly dodged.
And Perfume Gen also has a preliminary impression of his daughter-in-law, well, she looks a little like the sister-in-law of the Ping'an family, but she is younger and more beautiful than the sister-in-law.
The two families decided to marry on June 16, but the two children were really old, one in their twenties and the other in eighteen, and the children of their age could run all over the ground.
On June 15th, Ping An and Jixiang they all took leave, and even Xiangqian came back, and the rich sister-in-law couldn't help but be happy when she saw Xiangqian's clear eyes and a different temperament from before.
Fu Bao looked at Xiang Qian with bright eyes, this is the future Wenqu star, I didn't see that his heavenly court was full and shining, and it was faintly shining with colorful light. "Brother hugs ......"
Fu Bao opened her hands, looking at Xiang Qian's eyes with longing, she wanted to rub the merit value, a future Wenqu star has an inexhaustible merit value.
When Xiangqian saw Fubao, he hurriedly put down the bookbasket and hugged Fubao up, well, the milk dumplings seem to be a lot heavier.
Fu Bao's two little hands tightly wrapped around Xiang Qian's neck, the breath on his brother's body was so good, and the merit value continued to flow to his own spirit.
"How have you been reading lately?"
Old Man Xiang looked at the three descendants of the Xiang family wearing long robes, and the corners of his mouth rose.
"Grandpa, the master said that I am making rapid progress, and if I can keep it like this, I will be allowed to take the children's exam in February next year." Xiang Qian said.
Old Man Xiang nodded with satisfaction, his eyes looked at Xiang Chu and Ji Xiang again, Ji Xiang also nodded with a smile and said that he would take the next exam tomorrow, and he would be the best if he could be the best, and he would continue to work hard if he couldn't.
Xiang Chu was a little embarrassed, the master said that his heart was not in reading, indeed, his heart was in the little bison, in his younger brothers and sisters, and of course in Fubao's body.
"Grandpa, the master said that he wanted to see my development in the second half of the year, and if it went well, let me get off the exam, and if it didn't go well, then it would be postponed."
Old Man Xiang nodded with a smile, he is not so greedy, as long as one of the family is on the list, two are the best, and three are the ancestral tomb.
Ping'an took her sister-in-law to her mother's house, and her sister-in-law will marry to Xiangzhang Village tomorrow, and of course she, the eldest sister, will go to add makeup to her sister.
The rich sister-in-law took out a silver nude of one or two, put it in a purse and handed it to the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law hurriedly pushed it away, what are you kidding, it is enough to give three and a half taels.
"Take it, your sister is also my sister, and she is married to her own brother, their life is spacious, and we are not comfortable in our hearts."
Grandma Xiang also took out a silver hairpin and handed it over: "Ping'an's family, take this, this is the makeup jewelry of our old couple." ”
The sister-in-law was moved, she must have done a lot of good things in her previous life, and she can only marry into the Xiang family in this life, not only is her husband gentle and respectful to herself, but even her in-laws and concubines love her.
"Thank you, mother, thank you brother and sister, I will tell them when I go back." The sister-in-law carefully put away the silver hairpin and purse, and then went to her parents' house with Ping'an.
Early the next morning, Xianghanhe came to Mr. Xiang's house to borrow an ox cart, looking at the little bison with saffron on his head, and the body was also covered with red silk, Xianghanhe really wanted to kneel for the eldest brother.
Ji Xiang is also wearing a new long robe, sitting in front of the ox cart, shouting and walking to the home of Xianghan River, along the way, attracting many eyes, including the eldest daughter-in-law.
The eldest daughter-in-law suddenly thought of her distant relatives, the little girl's embroidery work is really good, two days ago her mother also brought a silk handkerchief to find herself, let her show the little girl her husband's house.
Well, after Shuigen married her daughter-in-law, she went to Xiang's house to propose, well, it is more grand to find a matchmaker, and the eldest daughter-in-law thought very well in her heart, but her footsteps followed the ox cart to Xianghanhe's house.
Today, Mizugen wears a cyan robe, and he looks quite like a scholar, but the big red flower on his chest destroys this temperament.
Seeing that Jixiang came with an ox cart, he hurriedly asked Jixiang to enter the door to drink tea, Jixiang refused, marrying a daughter-in-law is a good day, but you can't miss the good day.
The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the eldest son of the Xianghanhe family was going to marry a daughter-in-law today, and everyone was happily waiting outside their house, waiting for Xianghanhe to scatter copper coins.
Looking at the ox carts slowly moving away, and the firecrackers that were exhausted, Xiang Hanhe's face was a little bad, he didn't have many copper coins in his pocket, but the villagers came a lot.
The second brother and sister-in-law next door already showed ridicule on their faces, but because of so many people, their brothers couldn't stand up the wall in front of everyone.
