Chapter 971: Prepare Enough Dowry for My Daughter

In ancient temples, pine trees are the most common, because pine trees have a long life and ensure peace. During major festivals, masters will break some pine branches and give them to pilgrims, taking them home to keep their families safe.

All year round, the pine trees are towering and leafy. Several people sit under the pine trees, enjoying the cool breeze and feeling very comfortable.

As they sat down to rest, the novice monk from the temple brought them a pot of tea and several plates of snacks.

These are all offerings, snacks that have been used to enjoy the incense, and have the effect of exorcising evil spirits and calming the soul. Children from the surrounding villages, if they are frightened and lose their souls, will come to ask for offerings of fruit for their children to eat.

For this reason, during major festivals, temples will also prepare a special case table with offerings removed from the offering table and distribute them to pilgrims to take home to frail children to calm the souls and ward off evil spirits.

"It's still cooler in the mountains and forests," Mrs. Duan wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have a village in the suburbs of Beijing. Mountain spring water runs directly through the entire village. The fields and orchards are growing well. My master also built a large yard. It is a good place to escape the summer heat. If you don't mind it, come and stay with me for a few days. The fruits and vegetables are all grown on the farm, and they are picked fresh and taste good. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at the few people and suggested happily. Her daughter's marriage was decided, and she felt relieved.

Take advantage of this time to rest and recuperate.

I also got to know the Bai family better by the way. After getting married, my daughter's life will be easier.

She has some small thoughts, but they are all for her daughter. She had no intention of harming anyone, and the Bodhisattva would definitely not blame her.

Listening to Mrs. Xu's inner voice, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but curl her lips. The Xu family are people who know how to run things. Such a temperament can really win over people's hearts.

They all have a motherly heart.

She has been a mother for ten years and can already understand this concern. Even if Mrs. Xu doesn't bother to run the business, she won't treat her daughter-in-law badly.

After entering the door of her Bai family, they are her family members. Isn't it a disease to embarrass one's own people?

However, these words reminded her that the Zizhu Manor she bought was specially used for training workers, and she had to buy it if she wanted to build a summer manor.

"You're welcome, in-laws. We are a family now. We don't want to play tricks. As long as the children live well, that's all."

Bai Yunxi said, looking at Mrs. Xu's smiling expression, she couldn't help but tease,

"Although I don't want to admit that I am old, I am still at the age of a grandmother after all. I hear the words "grandma" every day. It's okay not to admit it... Young people have young people's lifestyles. Even if we rush to catch up, we can't catch up. Just let go and don't worry too much, otherwise you will be exhausted. "

Her meaning was very clear. She directly told the eldest lady of the Xu family that she was not a mean mother-in-law and would not interfere in the lives of her children, so she could just rest assured.

Duan listened, blinked, covered her mouth and laughed,

"After my godmother said this, if the daughters-in-law in Kyoto heard about it, they might be very happy and grateful. I have long heard from my officials that you are an enlightened parent who considers everything for your children and never suppresses their interests. , every time the officials mention it, they look forward to it, wishing they could be reborn next to you, even if they eat chaffy vegetables.”

The official told her that the Bai family's life was ups and downs. There was a period of time when life was very tight, and the whole family had to go into the mountains to find food. Just thinking about it made her feel hard.

But on days like this, the children in the family are more promising and more diligent than the other.

In just a few years, with hard-working hands and the leadership of my godmother, I managed to live a better life.

Even so, the fifth brother did not delay his studies, and the other brothers also had their favorite things to do. After all the hardships, the godmother became the most respected grandmother in the house.

Listening to Duan's thoughts, Baiyun Xi almost twitched the corner of his mouth,

Those days really tempered people's minds, and they were also the path of transformation that she created with her own hands.

Only by allowing these brothers to share joys and sorrows and come together can they be unforgettable.

This process alone is enough to exercise the mind. This kind of unity is usually not obvious, but whenever the family encounters obstacles, this ability to work together to resist can highlight its advantages.

"It's not as good as what you said. In fact, what Brother Yu envies is not our life, but the maternal love he lost when he was little. It is also his only obsession with his biological mother. I heard that the more a person lacks What, the more he yearned for it, he happened to meet me at the same time he longed for his mother’s company.”

Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, Duan was stunned. Thinking of Guan Ren's childhood experience, she nodded sadly.

"What my godmother said makes sense. The official has always treated you as my own mother, and I really have a heart for you. I can feel this. Because of this, as soon as I entered Beijing, I couldn't wait to see my godmother. You."

Duan said, he couldn't help laughing. During the years when the official was in office, he couldn't help but get red-eyed every time he lamented the kindness his godmother gave him. The official admired his godmother from the bottom of his heart.

Listening to Duan's voice, when Bai Yunxi thought of Xie Yu, she could only sigh with relief.

Mrs. Xu was only happy as she listened to the two talking.

Her in-laws were just as they found out, they were kind-hearted people, and her daughter really found a good in-law.

Later, she would sort out the dowry list and fill in some things for her daughter, so that her daughter would get married in a grand manner. No, she will come to the dental club tomorrow and buy a few more from Zhuangzi near the suburbs of Beijing for her daughter to stock up on.

Originally, she divided her dowry into three parts, one for each of her three children. The eldest son got married two years ago, and his share was used as a betrothal gift.

The remaining two parts were still in her hands. This time, she also took out one to give to her daughter, and the last one was left for the second son.

But now she was thinking about it, and decided to take out a part of the second son's share to subsidize her daughter, and when the second son got engaged, she would buy a new one.

Daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets, and they can't be treated badly.

Bai Yunxi: "..."

The three of them sat in the backyard, enjoying the breeze and talking softly, and then had a vegetarian meal in the temple, rested for a while, and then got up and left.

After returning home, Bai Yunxi washed up, leaned on the Luohan bed and let Shi Liu squeeze her hair dry.

Just when it was half dry, Ginkgo ran over in a hurry,

"Old lady, my wife is having a fit."

Is the daughter-in-law going to give birth?

Bai Yunxi sat up and said, "Hurry up and ask the midwife to come over and watch, and then ask someone to invite the doctor to come and wait. Madam Zhu, prepare the ginseng I asked for, just in case."

The baby's period is coming, and she invited the midwife to the house early, fearing that she would be caught off guard.

Shi Liu quickly braided Bai Yunxi's hair, put it on her head, and fixed it with a hairpin.
