Chapter 187

Zhou Shuren called Zhulan's soul, and when she got up in the morning, Zhulan felt much better, at least not so empty, and she was unwilling to get up in Zhou Shuren's arms. The environment is accompanied by someone, if she is alone, she will not slow down so quickly.

Zhulan stretched out her hand to play with Zhou Shuren's fingers. Zhou Shuren's fingers were well-articulated, and she could even touch the cocoon that held the pen. It can be seen how hard Zhou Shuren worked. Zhulan raised Zhou Shuren's hand to compare with her own, showing that her hand is really small .

Zhou Shuren was thinking about Zhulan in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well all night. When Zhulan made a movement, he woke up. Holding the belt around Zhulan's waist, she said in a gentle voice, "Are you awake? Are you better?"

Zhulan's heart skipped a beat, with a smile in her eyes, "Well, it's much better."

She knew that she was dreaming, one dream after another, and then she stopped dreaming and slept more peacefully, all thanks to Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren's chin was pressed against Zhulan's hair, and his arms were tightened. He really didn't expect that he would have love one day. In modern times, he didn't believe in marriage. He planned to be alone for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, after being crossed, he became a father, had a wife, and believed in love. He never talked to Zhulan, thanked Zhulan for saving him, and did not let him travel alone. Fortunately, with her and her presence, only in ancient times did his heart have a place to stay.

Zhulan just felt, "It's too tight, do you want to strangle me?"

Zhou Shuren chuckled, the atmosphere just now was gone, and he relaxed his hands, "Is it better this time?"

Zhulan exhaled, feeling comfortable this time, nodded, thinking of Changlian, said: "I'll go to the official matchmaker today, but Dong Chuchu is a lady from the county magistrate's family, how will our family's betrothal gift come out?"

This is a worrying thing. Before the county magistrate Dong took the imperial examination, the Dong family was born as a landlord. The family had money, land and a shop. Later, he became a juren, and the family property was even richer. When he became the magistrate of the county, he never stopped receiving gifts. So the magistrate of the county is not short of money, and it will be difficult for their family to pay the dowry!

Zhou Shuren was also worried, "Our family's foundation is weak, if you give more, people won't feel too much, if you give less, Dong's family will lose face, and we have four sons, Changlian married too many wives, the eldest and the second It is inevitable that there will be no lumps, no matter how it is currently shared property."

Zhulan felt exhausted again, "I spent a lot of money in Pingzhou, and I spent a lot of money on presents to the county magistrate. At present, I have seven hundred and fifty taels of silver in my hand, and there are more than a dozen taels of silver. A few days ago, you also said that you would buy some more land and set aside the daily necessities of the family, how much money do you think is appropriate as a dowry?"

Zhou Shuren thought for a while, "The betrothal money is two hundred taels, and the other betrothal gifts are well prepared, and they won't seem too little."

Zhulan was surprised, "Two hundred taels!"

This is not a small amount!

Zhou Shuren sighed, "The county magistrate has inquired about our family clearly, too little is not good, anyway, the county magistrate does not know how much money our family has, two hundred taels should be the family property that the county magistrate guessed, why did we just buy it?" I can't hide my expenses in Pingzhou without the house and shop, and the county magistrate estimates that we can spend two hundred taels, which is already good, but the plan to buy land this year is in vain."

Zhulan knew that Zhou Shuren had a lot of eyes, so she took out two hundred taels of dowry, and Zhou Shuren talked about his best ability. Zhou Shuren took out all his family assets, so he would naturally pay special attention to Zhou Shuren. This person is as thoughtful as a honeycomb, and he will never suffer.

Zhulan tilted her head, "The betrothal gift is settled, can you tell the boss and the second child, and Changlian, don't let him go too far, as if we gave a betrothal gift of two hundred taels, and the family is counting on him in the future."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Don't worry, I'll kill Changlian after the meal, and I won't let him go away."

Zhulan, "......En."

The two of them lay down for a while before getting up, breakfast was ready, Zhulan specially explained, the porridge for breakfast was boiled in a newly bought earthenware pot, Zhulan drank the porridge and ate pickles, and finally no longer thought of nausea, stomach There is food in the house, and people also have spirit.

After the meal, Zhou Shuren called his sons over, but Zhulan didn't listen. She wanted to change her clothes and tidy herself up, and then went to the county to find an official media.

When Zhulan packed up and came out, she saw Changlian going out to go to the ethnology study in a trance, feeling quite frightened, Zhulan pulled Zhou Shuren over, "Look, Changlian was scared, what did you say?"
