I can't help but feel uneasy, and I even feel that these glasses of wine, raw dumplings or something are redundant.

After each of them took off a small section of their hair, tied it together, and wrapped it with a red rope to signal that they would be united forever.

The ceremony officially ended.

By this time it was already dark, and the guests had all left with their hearts fed and drunk.

Lu Tianhui couldn't wait to knock Su Qingyan down, and there was a fierce kiss when he went up.

"Ah...... Lu Tianhui, I ......"

"You're finally mine."

Su Qingyan's mind was full of one picture: pig arch cabbage.

Like all newlywed wives, Su Qingyan opened her eyes the next day and felt that her body was about to fall apart.

Lu Tianhui was in infinite spirits, seeing that she woke up, like gnawing on cabbage, hugging and kissing.

"That...... Do I have to get up and offer tea to my mother? ”

"No, my mother has already made breakfast, wait for you to get up to eat, if you don't want to get up, I'll go and bring you a room."

"No...... Other...... I got up. Su Qingyan struggled to get up, lifted the quilt and saw a red plum, her cheeks were hot.

Isn't it supposed to be a white handkerchief, how did you directly stain the sheets......

She came to the living room with a red face, saw that the food was already on the table, Qin sat at the table, saw her come in, and beckoned her to sit down and eat.

On her first day as someone's daughter-in-law, she was a little at a loss: "Mother, how can I let you cook for me." ”

"It's okay, sit down!

Usually Tianhui and I live like this, there is no reason to have a daughter-in-law, I can't cook, I can't work. ”

As he spoke, Qin took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms, stuffed them into Su Qingyan's hand, and said:

"This is your dowry, you didn't have time yesterday, I will collect it for you first, you have to keep your own things."

"What?" Su Qingyan roughly flipped through it, there were five or six sheets, each with a denomination of one hundred taels, even if the two hundred taels of dowry given by the Lu family were added, there were several hundred taels more.

What's going on?

When the eldest sister got married, her parents added ten taels, and her parents shouldn't give so much when she got married, right?

"Don't turn it over, it's eight hundred taels, your good big brother gave it, and he also added sixty-four dowries to you, all of which are in the west wing."

Lu Tianhui came in, and what he said was weird, and he was unhappy about the dowry given by Bai Lingjun, but now that Su Qingyan is his, it all belongs to him, and he can't be proud.

The cold sweat on Su Qingyan's body broke out one after another, and when she thought of Bai Lingjun, her nose was a little sour.

"Big brother has always treated me very well."

"Let's eat! The meal should be cold in a moment. ”

Qin reminded and handed Su Qingyan a bun.

Breakfast is very simple, it is a basket of steamed buns, a small pickle, and a bowl of white rice porridge for each person.

But Su Qingyan dared to say that in the few villages around here, there were only a handful of people who could afford such a meal.

After eating, Su Qingyan wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by the Qin family on the grounds that the new daughter-in-law had entered the door and had not worked for three days.

Urge her to go back to rest.

Lu Tianhui also felt sorry for her and pulled her back to the room.

Only then did she see the layout of the new house.

The northwest room where she and Lu Tianhui lived was very spacious, with a carved wooden bed with a big red curtain, leaning against the west wall, a dresser on the south, two wardrobes on the north, and a round table and four stools near the door.

The furniture is not new, but when you touch it, you can see that the wood is hard and thick, and it should be some good wood.

The more Su Qingyan pondered, the more wrong it became, and after enduring it for a few times, he finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "Lu Tianhui, who are you?" ”

"Qingyan, I'm your father-in-law, what do you mean by asking?"

"Actually, I wanted to ask a long time ago, if your family can build a house so high, it should be a brick house, but it is made to look like an adobe house, obviously to hide something.

In addition, your family has such a hair crown, you can come up with such a heavy dowry, and your mother's conversation, your temperament does not look like an ordinary banker at all. I don't want to doubt it! ”

"Well, Qingyan is so smart, she should have noticed it a long time ago!"

Lu Tianhui sat on the bed with Su Qingyan in his arms, kissed her forehead, and said, "But you are wrong, it is not "your family", but us."

Family. ”

"So nicknamed? What is the identity of our family? ”

"As you can see, it's an ordinary peasant family, but in the past, the ancestors were imperial merchants."

"Imperial Merchant?" When Su Qingyan heard these two words, he was speechless in surprise.

Businessmen are cheap, but if they add the word "emperor", they will not be single, and they may be the people who grasp the lifeblood of the country's economy.

Speaking of which, even if you are not the richest man, you are almost away!

No wonder there is such a heirloom crown.

It makes sense that Luo Gan, who starved to death, was bigger than a horse.

"Then my wedding dress is also handed down from my ancestors?"

"This is not, it was embroidered by our mother for you with a needle and a thread, jewelry can be passed down from generation to generation, clothes and other personal items, you will get married once in a lifetime, how can you still wear the old nickname."

When Su Qingyan heard Lu Tianhui say this, her heart swelled with inexplicable emotion, thinking that her mother-in-law was so knowledgeable and cheerful, and asked:

"Our family used to be an imperial businessman, and my mother-in-law's background should be very high, you tell me about the past."

"Well, I only remember when I was a kid, and then I just heard about it."

Lu Tianhui told Su Qingyan that Lu Tianhui's grandfather's name was Lu Peishan, and the Lu family's industry developed and grew in the hands of Lu Peishan and became an imperial businessman.

For a time, the scenery was incomparable, and he married the second daughter of Qin Xingshan, the sixth Dali Cheng of Liupin, for his eldest son, that is, Qin Fenghe as his wife.

For the second son, he married the sister of the Laihe County Order, Baili Sisi.

But later, the Lu family became the richest man in the world, causing the emperor to be jealous, and the imperial court began to support new forces to suppress the Lu family.

The wealth of the Lu family shrank rapidly, not only losing the title of imperial merchant, but also because of Lu Peishan's serious illness, he lost his backbone, and the commercial kingdom collapsed instantly.

The eldest son, Lu Jingzhi, worked hard and worked hard, but finally kept the last bit of the family's foundation.

At this time, the Lu family has changed from the richest man in a country to the richest man in a city, and life is still comfortable.

Lu Tianhui was born and raised in this environment.

However, Lu Jingzhi is not in good health because of his worries day and night, and his second son Lu Jinglan has been pampered since he was a child, proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, but he is not good at business.

The Lu family is actually sitting on a mountain and eating nothing, going downhill day by day.

Soon after Lu Peishan's death, Qin's father, Qin Xingshan, was somehow convicted and imprisoned.

The old lady of the Lu family and her second son, Lu Jinglan, wanted to drive Lu Jingzhi out on the grounds that they were afraid of being connected by the Qin family.

Mrs. Lu came to Ruyun to fill the house with Lu Peishan, not Lu Jingzhi's biological mother, so it is reasonable to be able to do this kind of thing.

Lu Jingzhi, who was not in good health, wrote a letter of severance under this circumstance, carrying the big flower crown that the Qin family wore when he entered the door, a thousand taels of silver, and the dowry of the Qin family, and brought his wife and children to the foot of the five-flower village.

They didn't want to be too public, and they didn't want to really live in a mud and tiled house, so Lu Jingzhi thought of a way to add a layer of mud to the outside of the blue brick house.

They didn't spend much in the village, and they could have lived peacefully until Lu Tianhui married a wife and became an adult.

But Lu Jingzhi's body is not as good as day by day, and he needs to use ginseng to hang his life, and their family can afford to buy ginseng, but they can't buy it, because the few hundred taels of silver are the last savings.

They often buy ginseng whiskers and hang their lives when necessary.

However, this is not a long-term method, Lu Jingzhi later died, at that time, Lu Tianhui was thirteen years old.
