Chapter 249 Good Vision

Zhulan put down the needle and went out, Dong Shi held the box in her hand, Zhulan motioned Dong Shi to sit down, "What do you want me for?"

Mrs. Dong put the box on the table and opened it, and took out the land deed inside, "Mother, this is the land my father gave me as a dowry in Lijia Village, fifty acres. I heard from my husband that our family allocated the land to Lijia Village. I would like to ask my mother to help me find someone to ask, is there anyone willing to help plant the land?"

Zhulan glanced at the field, the name was under the name of Mrs. Dong, and Mrs. Dong had to pay taxes on these fields, and the tax paid for a 50-acre field was quite a lot. She and Zhou Shuren dared to do this, because Zhou Shuren had something to do with Zhongju. confidence.

Dong's is a pure dowry, and he has to manage it himself. In the future, how much of the business will be his own money. Zhulan wants to make it clear, "Your fields have paid taxes and then planted for you. If the years are not good, there will be nothing left. , the year is good and there is not much left, and you will earn a lot of money in a year, you can think about it."

Mrs. Dong also counts, but she is too young, and her husband is not even a scholar. According to the regulations of this dynasty, she cannot use servants, and there is no one in charge, and her husband has to study. Although she earns a lot less, she has her parents to support her. That said, no one dared to covet her food, and she was happy to save trouble, "Mother, I figured it out, my husband and I are young, so it's okay to earn less, we are just trying to save our worries."

Zhulan thought to herself, of the three daughters-in-law, except for Mrs. Li, the other two are people with big ideas, "Since you have figured it out, mother will ask your father to ask, and we will talk about it when you come back tomorrow."

Dong thanked: "Thank you, mother."

"It's all a family, you're welcome."

Dong picked up the box, "Mother, I'm going back to the yard."

"Go."

Mrs. Dong went out with the box in her arms, believed her husband's words, and tried not to get close to her mother. The father-in-law didn't like it. When she came, she thought that the father-in-law was studying in the study, but she didn't expect to be in the house. Even though she didn't see it, she knew it. If she wasn't reading in the house, Mother would have let her in just now.

The study of Zhulan's family is just a decoration for Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren is not an ancient person, he prefers to read books casually, reading books is already tiring, and it is so tiring to lie in the study, it is still comfortable to lie down.

Zhulan went back to the house and talked to Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren said that he knew it and handed it over to the boss. Many people asked when Zhulan's family would buy land again, hoping to help with farming.

It's a pity that Dong's field is near Li's Village. If it were in Zhou's Village, it would also benefit Zhou's impoverished relatives.

Mrs. Dong went back to the house,

The husband went to study, and she was sorting out the dowry. Now that she is not a young lady, she has to do it by herself. Fortunately, she was mentally prepared, comforted herself, and started to sort it out.

The cloths are arranged according to the dowry quantity, and put away by categories. When the dowry is delivered, the mother-in-law has already taken out the washbasins and shelves for use in the new house.

The main thing is to pick out the jewelry that can be worn now, and put the rest away. Some headgear is not something that her white lady can wear. The mother prepares it in advance for the future.

When it's all sorted out, it's quite a sense of accomplishment.

Finally, there is the silver money at the bottom of the box. There are two boxes of silver ingots, two hundred taels each, a total of four hundred taels, and a small box of fifty taels of gold ingots, of which two hundred taels of silver was the betrothal gift from the parents. The dowry was seven hundred taels, and one thousand taels of silver notes were stuffed in private.

The total value of her dowry is three thousand taels.

For the dowry, my elder sister gave me some make-up, mainly jewellery, and my elder brother and sister-in-law really didn’t give much, because my elder brother and sister-in-law knew that as an old woman, my parents would definitely give me some dowry.

In fact, she can have more dowry, but her sister married her brother-in-law again. In order not to be looked down upon, her father gave away half of her family fortune to her sister at one go. When she was young, her mother taught her to be housekeeper. Every family has a solid foundation, but several elder brothers are watching, and the annual expenses are so high that they really can't save much money a year.

Mrs. Dong didn't know, the window of the study room was open, and Changlian had been standing by the window to watch. Changlian was observing his wife's temper. He is not squeamish, he likes his wife more and more, he got up to add water to the kettle, and took out the tea leaves to make tea. When Mrs. Dong comes back, he can drink tea to quench his thirst, and there is hot water to wash his face and hands.

Zhulan didn't know that the newlyweds were testing each other, and she was preparing the homecoming gift for Mrs. Dong tomorrow.

Zhou Shuren contributed his handwritten book, which was brought back by Jiangnan, but it was not on the county magistrate’s bookshelf. Zhulan moved out the screen that the second sister-in-law gave her. This is Zhou Shuren’s change of chance for the Yang family. The ginseng he found, the second elder brother liked screens because of bamboo orchids, and the second sister-in-law embroidered the screens by hand, and because it took too much effort, they were sent over during the Chinese New Year.

These two things are not bad, Zhulan added the mutton left over from the wedding banquet, and some other things, and made up six items, all of which gave Dong's face enough, and also expressed Zhulan's satisfaction with this daughter-in-law.

After eating at noon, Mrs. Zhao's eyes were a little red and swollen, and Mrs. Zhou's eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, Zhulan not only touched Mrs. Zhao, but also Mrs. Zhou. As a man, Mrs. Zhou naturally hoped for the best for his wife. Yes, it's just that she was a daughter-in-law in exchange for food back then, and his mother didn't like Mrs. Zhao at the beginning, so he didn't dare to mention it. Later, his mother didn't talk to Mrs. Zhao. He also wanted to keep a low profile and planned to wait for the child to grow up.

Now that Mother has mentioned it personally, he feels comforted. Mother is the same as Father. Although she doesn’t say words of concern, she always cares about them with actions. Therefore, Mother must live longer than Dad. He felt more and more that if mother left first, he didn't have to worry about his father being his real father, he was afraid that his father would disappear with him.

My father appreciates my mother's strength, no matter how I look at it, I can do things to be buried with him. He has dreamed of this scene several times, and he was so scared that he dared not sleep for several nights. Therefore, such a good mother must live a long life.

Zhulan felt Zhou Lao Er's Confucian admiration, Zhao Shi also had the attitude of treating her like a mother, well, it was worthwhile for her to worry about it.

The next day, Mrs. Dong returned home, and when Mrs. Dong saw the ceremony at the door, Zhulan was moved again.

After going out, she took the carriage picked up by Dong's family, and Dong lowered her voice to be fair: "I will treat my mother as well as my mother in the future."

The homecoming gift given by mother not only gave her face, but also gave her mother's face. There must be a lot of people in the family when I return home today. There are quite a lot of bad people in her family.

Chang Lian chuckled, looked down at the little head raised and solemnly said promise, how could he find it so cute, couldn't help pinching his daughter-in-law's face, "I believe you."

Dong's face was flushed, except for being hugged by the husband in the bridal chamber overnight, they had no more intimate behaviors, but why did she think that the husband looked good when he smiled? Dad didn't have a good eye for picking a husband for the eldest sister, and the brother-in-law later found it by himself. She came to the door, but I didn't expect her father to be very discerning in choosing a husband for her!
