Chapter 100 Marriage 1
The county order hurriedly held "Brother Zhou, don't kneel, don't kneel!" I'm here today to help Situ Gongzi propose and hire your little Tao girl, just to protect the media, just to protect the media! It's not a prefectural magistrate! ”
Mrs. County Ling is in her thirties, very well maintained, her eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are a little smart, her azure skirt is covered with light gauze, and she smiles dignified and polite, "Situ Gongzi and Miss Zhou, they are two talented women, but they are a match made in heaven!" Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou! ”
After speaking, he turned around and smiled, "Come, come, hurry up and bring the dowry over for Master Zhou to see!" A group of officials in the back carried five wooden boxes with big red silk.
The officials opened them one by one, the first box was full of a box of silk and satin, the second box was two large jars of wine, the third box was a few wooden boxes, the official opened a box, which contained glittering gold jewelry, the fourth box was tea, and the fifth box was directly silver tickets and land deeds. There is also a cage with a pair of live geese, which is a real rarity!
This appearance calmed down the people in the courtyard, this dowry is expensive enough, and the average person is two pieces of cloth, a jar of wine, and two barrels of tea.
The county commander smiled, "Brother Zhou, because of the rush of time, the dowry is not thoughtful, Situ Gongzi specially explained, he asked to marry your little Tao girl with great sincerity, I don't know what you think?" ”
Xiao Tao's father was about to agree, but he didn't expect that the son would send such a valuable dowry gift to the county commander, he was very satisfied, and he paused and hurriedly smiled, "The county magistrate came to propose marriage in person, which really flattered the little people, not only is the son so sincere, but also the blessing of the little girl, of course I want to agree, come, come, sit in the county house!" Take a sip of tea to quench your thirst! ”
As soon as the county magistrate heard that he agreed, his heart relaxed, but the third prince had given a death order, and he had to do it himself!
When Mrs. County Ling heard this, she quickly took out the Geng sticker from her arms,
"This is Childe's Geng sticker, Childe has found someone to read it, saying that the sixth day of the fifth month is a good day, although the days are tighter, Master Zhou hurriedly prepares, but don't worry, Childe said that the wedding dress, and a thing to be applied, he will send it over in the next two days, you just need to wait for the marriage of the girl with peace of mind!"
I thought to myself, why didn't I give birth to a girl! What a son-in-law he is! It's the prince again, and he's so polite!
Xiao Tao's father hurriedly took it, and handed over the prepared Xiao Tao's Geng sticker, "Lord County, Mrs. has worked hard, go into the house and rest and drink tea!" ”
The county magistrate waved his hand and smiled, "My brother's family is busy building a house, so I won't bother, and if it is a marriage, I will go back to my life!" There are also many political affairs in the yamen! ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to the officials, "Go, go home!" Then he led the lady out.
The officials put down their burdens and went out, and Xiao Tao's father couldn't keep people, so the family sent the county order out of the door together, and there were already a lot of neighbors at the door who watched the excitement, but they just wanted to inquire and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Xiao Tao's family watched the county order him go away in a carriage before turning around and walking home.
Or did Xiao Tao's aunt rely on the relationship between the two families to ask, "Jiakun, this county order is to go to your house to give Xiao Tao a kiss?" ”
Little Tao's father smiled all over his face, "Yes, yes!" I didn't think that my Tao'er still had this blessing, and he could get the county order to protect the media! ”
The neighbors were complimented and envious, and after some back and forth, Xiao Tao and they returned home.
When I returned to the courtyard and looked at the expensive dowry, I was worried, where are these good things!
A few people hurriedly gathered things together and carried them into the house, only around to see that it was rare, and discussed that the family could not be cut off from watching, and the master went to work, and decided to put today's work first, and let the brother-in-law greet them tomorrow, and he and her mother prepared for Xiao Tao's marriage.
Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the dawn is early, the workers are also early, and my father is looking for veterans, who work fast and well.
The foundation of the house has been picked, and the foundation of the foundation has begun, and Xiao Tao asked to build the foundation a little higher, so that the house is bright, and Xiao Tao's father should respond.
Yufeng's father has already found wood to make beams and columns, and has been sent over one after another, these days there is no help to work, began to make doors and windows according to Xiao Tao's requirements, shaved logs, Xiao Tao painted the style is something he has never seen, left and right sliding windows, it is not difficult.
Xiao Tao Niang was fine, so she pulled Xiao Tao's grandmother and the two aunts to discuss what they needed to prepare.
Although Xiao Tao felt in a hurry, he also had a trace of expectation in his heart. Seeing that his mother had entered the state to buy things, he thought that he had nothing to marry, no silver, no real estate, pure naked marriage, but fortunately Situ Yu was not married naked, otherwise the two would get together and get married naked, so strange to test human nature!
I don't know what I need to prepare, it's really dark, the only thing that comes to mind is the wedding dress, but obviously there is not enough time at this time, not to mention, it's not a formal wedding! Let's talk about it later!
In the evening, the relatives are gone, Xiao Tao went back to the house and took out five hundred taels of his private silver to go to his father's house, the last time he bought something, the five hundred taels during the day have been changed, some were spent, and there are more than four hundred taels left, and five hundred taels are given to his father and mother to let them have more money on hand, and they will keep some to watch the door.
Moreover, the silver tickets of the Li Zheng family have returned, and they are in the dowry, and Situ Ran's share was also left to himself as a congratulatory gift, which is 100,000 taels!
Daddy saw her come in, smiled at her, the matter is a foregone conclusion, Xiao Tao's father and mother don't worry, the girl can marry a good family like the son, the face is still passable, and the son also likes Xiao Tao very much,
"What's wrong, Tao'er?"
Xiao Tao handed the silver ticket to his father, "This is what I earned by selling the dishes I made to other people's restaurants, I originally wanted to keep it for myself to do a small business, but I don't need it for the time being, and I can spend Situ Yu if I need it in the future, you can take it and look at it!" I'm at a loss for anything! I don't even know what I need to buy! If you can't spend the rest, keep it! ”
Xiao Tao's father knew that Xiao Tao had money in his hands, but he didn't expect that she still had five hundred taels, and Xiao Tao Niang was even more surprised.
"Girl, you're a little vault! But my girl is really capable! I just discussed with your father that I don't have the money to buy you some dowry things! Otherwise, with such a generous dowry from the son, we have nothing, how shabby! It's a joke, now it's okay, my mother will buy you some jewelry and clothes, and if you can't buy dozens of acres of land, it's enough! ”
Xiao Tao nodded, "Situ Yu said that he would also send some over, or don't worry about it first, see what he sent is missing, you can buy it, you can keep more!" Loose in your hand, too! ”
Xiao Tao Niang smiled with satisfaction: "My daughter is really sensible!" ”
