Nongmen's charming girl has a medicine field

Chapter 37 Dowry
"I'm coming."

Xie Yunchuan hastily averted his gaze before his elder brother could react.

Xie Yunshan was still thinking about what to pay attention to at night, when he suddenly thought of night, he seemed to have some vigorous exercise after his daughter fell asleep.

His face suddenly turned red, and he turned around to scold Xie Yunchuan.

Don't do business, what do you think about every day?

Stretching out his hands, just as he was about to knock third brother a chestnut, Xie Yunchuan jumped out.

"I'm coming."

Xie Yunshan is helpless, but the business is important. This involves his sister's marriage, which is the biggest matter of the Xie family today.

Everything else has to be pushed back.

Well, not bad.

The Zhou family invited the official media, obviously to show Xie's parents face.

Generally speaking, there are two types of matchmakers.

The first type is private media. Generally speaking, middle-aged women are in charge of serving as go-betweens for both men and women.

The official media is a marriage agency that represents the government and conducts marriages between men and women.

It's kind of like a modern day matchmaking.

The official media of the Dajing Dynasty has more power, for example, men and women who have reached a certain age but are not yet married.

At the beginning, they were fined, and if they refused to marry again, the official media would force the marriage.

Civilians, especially those without official status, generally do not invite official media, but private media.

Because official media is expensive.

It's so realistic.

But the official media was invited, which is also a face for the future daughter-in-law.

For this, the Xie family is extremely grateful.

This is not only for the face of Xie's daughter, but also for Xie's family.

Who would invite official media in these ten miles and eight villages?
The news spread before the official media came in.

Everyone in Xiejia Village knew that Zhou Tingyu from Huluao had come to hire him, and he hired an official media.

"As for it? She's just a silly girl, to be so flattering."

No, some people are a little sour.

But no matter how sour, they can't help it.

The patriarch of the Xie family is very satisfied. A daughter in Xie's village is well-married, which can also bring benefits to the Xie family.

The brothers from the Xie family were even happier, but they still had to be hired by the female relatives.

Xie Wu brought two daughters-in-law to greet the official media, and the elder who came with him was the patriarch of the Zhou clan.

This is another kind of flattery.

Huluao is not big and the population is not large, but Huluao basically has no foreign names.

The head of the Zhou clan is equivalent to the emperor of Huluao, not to mention that Lizheng of Huluao is the brother of the head of the Zhou clan.

This house has a high prestige in Huluao.

If it weren't for Zhou Tingyu's good reading talent, he would be admitted to Tongsheng this year, and in the next year, he might become Huluao's first scholar.

The patriarch of the Zhou clan will not come either.

This is for Xie Daoyun's dignity, but it also consumes Zhou Tingyu's favor.

In addition, there is Zhou Tingyu's enlightenment mentor, an old scholar.

Seeing this lineup, Xie Wu couldn't stop smiling.

Even, the eyes are a little sore, and tears are rolling in the eye sockets.

God knows how worried she is about this daughter, for fear that her daughter will not be happy in the future.Unresponsive, but how to get married.

But today, the daughter can not only marry, but also has an uncle who loves and respects her daughter.

Looking at those betrothal gifts again, Mrs. Xie Wu's smile grew stronger, her eyes bent into a bridge.

Aunt Xie slipped out midway, went to Xie Daoyun's room, and told her about it: "You didn't see the betrothal gift, six boxes were used."

These days, when ordinary people offer betrothal gifts, who will have six boxes of betrothal gifts?

When brother Xie married sister-in-law Xie, there were a lot of boxes for the dowry.

This is the standard for ordinary people to hire, and Xie Daoyun is obviously exceeding the standard here.

Xie Daoyun was not very clear about the dowry, she only knew that the sister-in-law's dowry was packed in one box.

With this comparison, she knew it.

I don't know how Zhou Tingyu got so many betrothal gifts?
But Xie Daoyun remembered that Zhou Tingyu was also a modern person after all, so it shouldn't be difficult to get some money.

But in the Dajing Dynasty, it was not that simple to make money.

Zhou Tingyu is a scholar, and those who want to take the imperial examination are naturally not allowed to do business.

"Forget it, at least you are a modern person, so your brain should turn pretty fast, right?"

Xie Daoyun owns a portable medicine field, and I don't know how many things are stored in it.

She didn't think the dowry of six boxes was too exaggerated, but she also felt sweet in her heart.

The second sister-in-law Xie was a little bit sour. The betrothal gifts given by the Xie family back then, including cloth and food, were all less than five taels of silver.

This is actually very good. The Dajing Dynasty experienced a drought a few years ago, and the previous years were not good.

Five taels of silver may require the family to save money and work hard for a year to save it.

But looking at the sister-in-law's betrothal gift, the jade pendant she saw, um, a jade ornament, was more than five taels of silver.

Not to mention, she also saw a box of cloth, most of which were cotton, but there was also a bolt of silk.

Judging by the tender green color, you can tell that this is used for wedding dresses.

The Dajing Dynasty stipulated that ordinary people cannot wear green.

But there is only one day that is an exception, and that is the day when a woman gets married.

Yes, the wedding dress at this time is green, not red.

In addition, the Dajing Dynasty stipulated that ordinary people can wear cotton and linen cloth, but silk cannot be worn.

But the only exception is the wedding dress.

After all, a woman may only be able to wear it once in a lifetime, a special grace given by the imperial court.

This may be the only chance for most people to wear silk in their life, right?

Xie Ersao sighed inwardly, she had no chance.

Second brother Xie is just an ordinary person, and it is impossible for her to be ordered because of second brother Xie. She probably will never wear silk clothes in her life.

No, there is still a chance.

She also has a son. Since the uncle is a scholar, if she works harder, she may not be able to let her son study.

Who said her son didn't have the talent to read?
Xie Wu sent the official media party out with a smile, and the smile on his face never stopped.

Even though her smiling face was stiff, she still kept smiling without feeling stiff at all.

Xie Zhao was actually very happy too, seeing the lady smile, he laughed too.

This is a good thing.

Zhou's family gave a betrothal gift, and the news that the betrothal gift was very generous quickly spread throughout Xiejia Village.

In this ancient society, there is no privacy.

Everyone relies on the gossip of the parents and the west to get through this life without entertainment. Who doesn't talk about other people's shortcomings?
Most people are a little envious, and many people have risen to jealousy.

Xie Zhaodi was embroidering at home. When she heard the news, she couldn't hold her hand steady and poked her own hand.

Enduring the pain, she put her fingers into her mouth and sucked a few times.

This is the folk remedy for the ancients to stop bleeding, but the bleeding stops, and the jealousy and hatred in my heart can't be suppressed no matter what.

A sour smell spread from the bottom of my heart.

"Why? Isn't she just a silly girl?"
