After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Chapter 135 Mr. is so greedy, what wealth can he save?
Lin Xiaoman went to pick some vegetables outside the courtyard wall, and went to get some meat from the freezer in the warehouse. He had just finished six dishes when someone knocked on the courtyard door.

Lin Xiaoman only came out after wiping his hands as if Lin Erhu had returned.After opening the door, there was Qingshu standing outside, holding a bamboo basket with a lid that was dripping water in his hand.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman handing over the basket, Qingshu grinned, "This is brought over quickly, Miss Xiaoman, try it."

Lin Xiaoman took it and opened the top cover, and saw that the inside was still covered with thick velvet, which had been soaked in ice water, and half red and half green lychees lay under the ice.

Lychees grow in the south, not to mention they are located in the Northeast, even in the Central Plains at this time, they are rare items. It is really rare to be able to send them here. I don’t know how much ice has melted and how many horses have been exhausted to send this small basket.

Lin Xiaoman thought of a poem that he had just read in the book: "When a concubine rides on the world of mortals and laughs, no one knows it's litchi."

Let's just say I'm touched, it's really touching.But distressed also really hurt!
This season, lychees that look better than this one over there are only a few yuan a catty.Sending such a basket of lychees from thousands of miles away is a waste of money and people, so why bother?
Seeing that Lin Xiaoman's face didn't show much joy, Qing Shu thought that she didn't recognize lychees, "This is a lychee sent from Lingnan, Miss Xiaoman, please try it."

Lin Xiaoman hummed, picked up a lychee, and pinched it gently with two fingers, the lychee shell was pinched in half, exposing the white lychee flesh inside.

Qing Shu, who was eager to try to teach Lin Xiaoman how to peel lychees, silently put down his raised hand, no matter how proficient Lin Xiaoman was in eating lychees, it didn't seem like he was eating lychees for the first time.

Well, it's embarrassing that the master asked him to take it like a treasure.

"Miss Xiaoman is skilled at peeling lychees, have you ever eaten them before?"

Lin Xiaoman naturally couldn't admit it, "I haven't eaten it, I just saw it in a book, and it's delicious."

Although it doesn't look like Lin Xiaoman has never eaten lychees, Qingshu doesn't suspect that she is lying, after all, one is south and one is north, and he has never heard that Lin Xiaoman has been to the south when he was a child, it is normal if he has not eaten.

Lin Xiaoman ate one by himself, and passed a few to Qing Shu, "Brother Qing Shu also eats."

To be honest, the time on the road was too long, and the lychees were not so fresh even with ice.The most important thing is that this lychee pit is too big, unlike the new varieties cultivated over there, which are all sweet flesh with only a small pit.

Qing Shu waved his hand and refused, "Your Excellency won't miss my food, I eat it often. Miss Xiaoman eats more, your lord said, I will bring any delicious food to Miss Xiaoman in the future."

"Yeah, thank you, my lord, for me, my lord will remember our siblings, and if I have any delicious food in the future, I will cook it for my lord."

Qingshu scratched his head, he didn't say that the adults told him to send lychees to Lin Xiaoman, and he didn't mention Lin Erhu at all.

Qing Shu took out another piece of silver and handed it to Lin Xiaoman, "My lord asked me to buy some melons with Miss Xiaoman."

Lin Xiaoman said: "If you want to eat, go to the field and pick it up. Why don't you buy it?"

"If it's just me eating with the adults, I will definitely not be polite to Miss Xiaoman, but this time I want to buy it to eat with the officers and soldiers in the county, so I have to pay for it."

After speaking, he winked at Lin Xiaoman, and Lin Xiaoman understood that although the officers and soldiers guarding the city were also under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, their immediate boss was the county lieutenant, and Lu Jin did not completely regard those people as his own.

If she took people to pick melons in her field without even saying hello, then those people became a habit of going to the field to eat and take. Her melon field was not enough for these man-made disasters.

After Lin Xiaoman took the broken silver, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

Qing Shu's eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrance wafting from the yard, but he looked back at the officers and soldiers stationed outside, in front of these people, it's not good for him to eat alone with adults.

When he was in trouble, Lin Xiaoman could see his worry, "Er Hu is still with Mr. Xu, I just want to pick him up, so I will bring the food over there. When the adults are done with their work, you can go over to have dinner with Mr. Xu."

Qing Shu nodded immediately, "All right, my lord and I will go there later."

Lin Xiaoman sent the food over, and brought Lin Erhu back along the way. Lin Erhu kept saying that Xu Qiuliang asked him to help arrange the dowry, and he was very worried, "Sister, you said that I have never married a daughter-in-law, so how do I know what dowry to prepare? Sir, you still have to ask me, do you think you are worried about others?"

Lin Xiaoman said: "The dowry of most families in our village is two taels of silver. For example, when Dajiaogu's third sister got married, the cow given by her in-laws was the only one in the village. However, the second grandpa added some dowry to Dahonggu and brought them back together. Dajiaogu's dowry is probably just a formality, and the second grandpa will still bring it back when he goes out."

Lin Erhu was not born when Lin Erjiao got married, so he didn't know about it, but after hearing Lin Xiaoman's words, Lin Erhu said, "So how much dowry does the husband give you, and you still have to bring it back in the end?"

Lin Xiaoman thought about it. In the past, Lin Youwang's family didn't have much money, and they didn't covet the little girl's dowry. Now every household in the village has money, and their family has grown a lot of tomatoes and peppers. Thinking about it, they are now the first richest people in the village, so they won't be greedy for Lin Dajiao's dowry.

"Well, Second Grandpa and Second Grandma are not that kind of people."

Lin Erhu clapped his hands, "Then what are you worrying about? You have to pay as much as you have, and you will bring it back anyway."

Lin Xiaoman disagreed, "You can't have this kind of mentality when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future. It's not easy for people to raise a daughter-in-law. She will marry her in-law's family as soon as she grows up. No matter how much dowry you give, you are grateful for the upbringing of your Yue's family. It's your affection to bring it back, and it's your duty not to bring it back. You can't blame her because your daughter-in-law didn't bring back the dowry in the future."

Lin Erhu nodded, "I know, I'm not such a stingy person. It's just that the husband doesn't have a lot of family property, and it's all taken as a dowry. The husband is afraid that Dajiaogu will suffer with him when he gets married."

Lin Xiaoman didn't think that Lin Dajiao would suffer when she married. She was the one who planted the most new crops with her in the village, and she earned more than 100 taels from selling tomatoes and peppers in the past month. She was also one of the richest in the village.

However, she was still curious about how much dowry Xu Qiuliang could offer, "Did Mr. Xu say how much he could offer?"

Lin Erhu stretched out two fingers, Lin Xiaoman asked, "20 taels?"

Lin Erhu shook his head, "Two Liang!"

The corners of Lin Xiaoman's mouth twitched, "His entire net worth is only two taels? Didn't he make any money last year when he went to the kang with the villagers?"

Lin Erhu sighed, "You also know that my husband is so greedy, what kind of wealth can he save? At that time, he never thought that he would marry a wife, and he spent the money in restaurants in the city. Now it's too late to regret it. The two taels of silver is what the eldest brother insisted on giving to Shu Xiu."
