Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 253 Generous Dowry

Because of Yan Cen's matter and Du Yunnian's matter, Master Zhuangzi helped Du's family's junior wife a lot, so when Du Fangfei got married, Du Jinning simply set up running water mats in the yard and outside the door, and invited all the people in Zhuangzi Come to eat, besides, she also set up a few tables in the hall and the east and west rooms to wait for the banquet, and invited Qi Bokun, Yuan Xiuzhu, Guan Lehe, Huang Chengming and other elders and husbands who had taken care of her to have wine; Guan Jiaze Waiting for friends and classmates is naturally indispensable. Shopkeepers such as Zhuang Yue and Yao Shuqi were also invited, and even the shopkeeper of Cao Ji Shuyin who had a good relationship with her was also present.

Du Yinsheng and Mrs. Zhang were shocked when they saw these people and learned their identities.Zhang's small thoughts of venting anger were also frightened and dissipated immediately.

When Du Fangfei's dowry was put out, everyone gasped in surprise.Not to mention everyone, even Xu Chengyuan, who came to welcome the bride, was shocked and his face was full of bewilderment.

Xu Chengyuan's classmates and friends who came to greet the relatives whispered to their companions: "Didn't it be said that Du Jinning left the house clean when he separated from the family, and lived in a house on the Zhuangzi and a field on the Zhuangzi? How could there be fifteen years?" Mu Shanghaotian and half of the mountain to give to my sister as a dowry? And just now at the new house, did you see the whole set of new furniture made of good wood? No one can beat ten or twenty taels of silver."

Fearing that people would take it into account when revealing his wealth, or be suspected by others for no reason, and cause unnecessary troubles, Du Jinning specially instructed Chen Shi before that.

So when everyone's admiration stopped, Chen smiled and said loudly: "Everyone knows the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" that the storyteller in the teahouse in the city said? These two stories are not only popular. It is used to tell books, and the bookstore sells very well. It was written by our family, Brother Ning. He didn’t want to spend any of the money for selling the book, so he saved it all to buy a paddy field for his elder sister. As a dowry with the mountain. We Brother Ning is a posthumous child, and we lived a difficult life before. If it weren't for his elder sister, he would not have grown up to this age. He also wants to repay his elder sister's kindness to him. "

Immediately, all the relatives and friends praised Du Jinning again, lamented that Du Jinning was promising, and lamented that he had a conscience.He won the money, not to mention buying property for his family, but giving it back to his elder sister who was kind to him.

Of course, there were also people who secretly scolded Du Jinning as an idiot, not spending money on his own, and taking advantage of Xu's family.But in front of people, he dared not say this.

Chen turned to Xu Chengyuan again: "Son-in-law, our sister Fei has suffered a lot in the past, you have to treat her well in the future."

"I will, I promise." Xu Chengyuan promised quickly, "I will definitely not let her be wronged. I will also work hard to make money to support my family, work hard to take the imperial examination, and let... let her live a good life." Speaking of Du Fang Fei's face turned red.

He is not a person who likes to speak bold words, and what he said just now was completely stimulated by the dowry.He thought that the set of furniture that he moved into the Xu family when he was building the house was the most valuable thing in Du Fangfei's dowry. Their Xu family was also poor, and he didn't expect Du Fangfei to have any dowry.Unexpectedly, Du Jinning took out such a big easter egg.

He suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

If he is not promising, he will be the one who eats soft food in the future.Not only does he eat, but he also has to take his mother to eat.As a responsible man, eating soft food made him feel ashamed.

Hearing what her son-in-law said, Mrs. Chen was very satisfied.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Dong also helped Du Fangfei out of the new house.The bride is covered with a hijab, but she wears a satin wedding dress of fine fabrics, a jade pendant hanging from her waist, a golden hairpin and gold earrings occasionally exposed from the hijab when she is crying goodbye to her mother, and a jade pendant on her hand. The bracelet caused another burst of exclamation from everyone.

At this moment, Aunt Dong took the responsibility to explain to everyone: "Aren't their mother and daughter making dried tofu day and night? All the money they earned went to buy such an outfit for the eldest sister."

All married women are envious.Du Fangfei is really blessed to have such a brother and mother.

Mrs. Zhang said from the side: "It's also our sister Fei who is kind-hearted. She even risked her life several times to save her brother. That's why my mother and brother treat me like this."

So Du Fangfei didn't do anything, and his reputation among relatives and friends increased to another level.If something happens to her in the future and people criticize her, others will use what happened today to refute her.

After Du Fangfei got married, Mrs. Chen entrusted Mrs. Xie with the business of making dried tofu.Mrs. Xie was looking forward to having a grandson, and once Du Fangfei became pregnant, she would not be too tired, so she didn't plan to do it alone, but invited two very honest neighbors and daughters-in-law to help with the work. Take the most critical steps yourself.Du Fangfei only needs to do embroidery and some housework.

After handing over the work of making dried tofu, only the work of marinating dried tofu is left. That work is not tiring, just put the dried tofu in and cook it. And Du Fangling and others are not used to it.

Mrs. Chen came to discuss with Du Jinning: "It's not a problem if we are so idle. Do you have any delicious food to cook? You can find it in the book and then teach us?"

Du Jinning couldn't help laughing, and teased his mother: "You are really born to work hard."

"Isn't it?" Chen admitted very straightforwardly, "We just work hard, and we feel uncomfortable when we are idle. Tell me quickly, is there anything you can do?"

"Yes." Du Jinning freed them from the tedious work of making tofu, because they had more important things to do, "Did you see the strawberries I planted in the yard? After this year, I also cultivated strawberries. There are a lot of seedlings, and the backyard is about to run out, and the rice in the field has been harvested again, so you clear up the field closest to us, add some base fertilizer, and then move the strawberry seedlings to the field for planting.”

After the strawberries were planted, Du Jinning was not in a hurry to sell them, but let the family eat them, and gave Yuan Xiuzhu, Qi Bokun, Guan Lehe and others to taste if there were any.Naturally, Mrs. Chen knew about this novel high-end fruit, and usually helped Du Jinning take care of the strawberry seedlings.

Hearing Du Jinning's words, she nodded: "It's really going to be moved. When there are more plants, we will sell them."

"Mother, when we do things, we have to take three steps to take one step, so it's not easy to fall. When this strawberry seedling goes out, the people in the village will be curious, and then ask you to plant the seedlings. You have to think about how to deal with it." .”

Mrs. Chen was taken aback for a moment, then realized that it was true, and quickly asked Du Jinning, "Then how should we deal with it?"

"Think for yourself." After Du Jinning said this, he lowered his head and practiced his handwriting.
