Chapter 82: Giving a Bride Price
Ji Xiang stood outside the door, hearing the words inside clearly, an inexplicable anger welled up in his heart, and his fists clenched involuntarily, he was not a man who carried the pot, let alone a little green hair, he didn't carry this pot.
When the matchmaker went out, she saw the auspiciousness standing by the door, and she couldn't help but feel empty, such a beautiful offspring could not be harmed by the Wang family.
"Little brother is auspicious, auntie, I'll show you a good one another day, and I'll make you satisfied."
Jixiang looked at the matchmaker whose face was already covered with sweat with white powder and rouge, couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Auntie, I want this, and I can get married next month." ”
"Ah......h
"Auspicious ......"
The voices of the two women rang out at the same time, the matchmaker's, Grandma Xiang's, and even Fu Bao, who was sitting in the bathtub and playing with water in the backyard, all paid attention.
"Mother, I want this Wang girl to be my daughter-in-law, tomorrow I will personally send the bride price to the door, please help my aunt to say it." Jixiang said again with certainty.
Grandma Xiang looked at Jixiang's shining eyes, as well as the abnormal excitement, and her heart couldn't help but move, could it be that Jixiang heard what she and the matchmaker had just said.
If this is the case, according to the auspicious temperament, there will definitely be strange moves, yes, come and not be rude, since the Wang family wants to treat their own family as the wronged leader, they don't blame their own family for fighting back.
"Sister Xiang, you ......"
The matchmaker felt that Jixiang wanted her daughter-in-law crazy, and she even wanted a broken shoe, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only hope that the sister of the Xiang family would have a clearer mind.
"Listen to the auspicious, we will send a bride price to the door tomorrow, and come to the door on the second day of next month to welcome relatives." Grandma Xiang smiled at Jixiang and said to the matchmaker.
Matchmaker: "......"
Fu Bao's heart moved, she knew her uncle too well, she wanted to make a big move, and she was looking forward to it......
The matchmaker did not go to Wang's house, but went back to her home first, boiled water and cleaned it, today is a particularly terrifying day, she feels that it is amazing that she can come back alive.
When the matchmaker woke up after eating and drinking, the sky had already darkened, and at this time the matchmaker painted herself with matchmaker makeup, and walked to Wangjia Village in a hurry.
When the Wang family learned that tomorrow's future uncle would personally bring silver and food to the appointment, they couldn't help but feel relaxed, and even the Wang family girl who was sitting in her room and pretending to sleep had the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Early the next morning, Jixiang set up an ox cart, which set off with 200 catties of fine grain, 800 catties of coarse grain, a large box of clothing, and a wooden silver box.
A few wealthy and auspicious children also got on the ox cart together, and everyone laughed happily and set off for Wangjia Village.
As soon as the ox cart entered Wangjia Village, the eldest son of the Wang family had already lit firecrackers, although only a few times, but also told the villagers that his little sister had already promised others.
Sure enough, the villagers who heard the sound of firecrackers also ran out, and saw an ox cart slowly walking towards Wang's house, and everyone looked at the fat and strong black cow with envy, this family should be a big family.
The husband and wife of the Wang family have long stood at the gate of their yard, looking at the little brother who is driving, it should be the future son-in-law on the portrait, what a good look.
Jixiang got off the ox cart first, and then led the ox to the Wang family and his wife, and then made a gesture to the husband and wife, and said loudly: "Jixiang is here to hire today, please take a look." ”
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family was a little unhappy in her heart, and she came to hire her, and she was still called aunt, shouldn't she be called aunt or mother-in-law, but now is not the time to turn her face, so she can only nod her head with a smile to welcome.
Fugui took Xiangping Xiang'an and a few people to move the bride price on the ox cart, and all the villagers looked at the bags of grain one after another, and their eyes showed jealousy.
There are twenty bags of grain, of which four bags of grain are fine grains, look at the number should be thousands of catties, what a lot of money this has, it seems that the little girl of the Wang family has really found a solid family.
Another big box was moved, and when the box was opened, there were four horses of cloth of various colors, which means that they were given four sets of clothes.
In the end, Jixiang opened the small box in his hand, and the silver ingots of ten taels were neatly stacked in the box, and there were five of them, and it turned out to be fifty taels of silver.
The villagers were in a sensation, and even the village chief and lieutenant chief of Wangjia Village came, and they wanted to see which family had come to Wangjia Village to hire them so generously.
Seeing this scene, the eldest brother of the rich sister-in-law was extremely unbalanced.
The father and mother of the rich sister-in-law are happy in their hearts, the daughter-in-law has silver, and the girl's life can be better, especially the father of the rich sister-in-law, who took the ten taels of silver given by the daughter, and went to the doctor to take medicine to raise the body.
Ji Xiang looked at the chaotic scene, and smiled in his heart, how enviable the current Wang family is, and how much the Wang family will be spurned in the future.
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family was a little stunned, the bride price was opened by her casually, but she never thought that the Xiang family really sent it, I don't know if I don't see it, it is really a lot at a glance, and good things can really make people feel happy.
"Virtuous son-in-law, please come to ......"
The Wang family turned sideways and stretched out their hands to invite a few auspicious people to enter the door, Xiangping Xiang'an shook his head, they want to be optimistic about the ox cart, and when they marry their daughter-in-law in the future, this ox cart can save face.
Jixiang smiled, shook his head and signaled that he would not go in, and wait for the second day of next month to come early in the morning to greet him, looking at Jixiang who turned around and left, the Wang family and his wife looked at each other and smiled, this son-in-law they like.
The girl of the Wang family, who was hiding inside and peeking out, the corners of her mouth also turned up, this little brother is really good-looking, and the family conditions are good, but it is much better than her cousin's family.
The sister-in-law of the Wang family on the side was originally angry, but when she saw so much food and silver, she couldn't help but be happy, but she didn't forget to roll her eyes at the sister-in-law.
I didn't expect this sister-in-law who didn't abide by women's morals to have such a good life, and when she entered the door, she only accepted three taels of silver from her mother-in-law's family, plus 100 catties of coarse grain.
But with so much silver, and food, she has to use her brain to get it, and her mother-in-law has always favored her sister-in-law, and she will definitely add makeup to her when the time comes.
There are a lot of people who don't know how to use the food and silver of the Wang family, the head of the Wang family village first stood up, the Wang family ancestral hall has been dilapidated, as the descendants of the Wang family, but it is responsible for repairing the ancestral hall.
The village chief also said that there are many families in Wangjia Village who have run out of food, especially the lonely and widowed elderly, as a member of Wangjia Village, even if there is no food, there is so much food that must be relieved.
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family was anxious, and scolded with her hands on her waist, whose girl took the bride price, don't add the same dowry and return it, which of you will return the dowry silver.
