Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 364 Betrothal gift and dowry

Li Shi looked at Old Man Yang blankly.

Old Yang's eyes were red, and he had obviously cried a lot just now, "Old lady, why did you faint on this big day? You almost scared us to death!"

Yang Laoer's tense expression softened a lot after Li woke up. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, because he knew that Li didn't want to see him, so he didn't dare to do anything for fear of causing further trouble for Li.

Yang Laosan brought a glass of water and helped Mrs. Li sit up to moisten her mouth.

After drinking a glass of water, Li felt much better and struggled to get off the ground.

Zhu San, who had come to deliver the letter, just stepped forward to salute Mrs. Li, "Old madam, it's great that you are okay. The doctor just showed it to you and told you to remember the joys and sorrows."

"You are Zhu San!" Li thought for a moment and her eyes widened.

Zhu San nodded flatteringly, "The old lady is so amazing, she still remembers the little one."

"Why are you here? Did your wife ask you to deliver the letter?" Mrs. Li's only thought was about her two grandsons who were bewitched by scholars. Their illnesses and pains have long been cured.

Seeing her eager look, Zhu San quickly took out the letter from his arms and presented it respectfully, "Old madam, it is indeed madam who asked the young man to come and deliver the letter, mainly for the third and fourth young masters to pass the scholar examination. And the eldest lady’s wedding date has been decided.”

Li was stunned for a moment, and her smile gradually widened, "Erya's wedding date has been set? What did the man say?"

Zhu San quickly replied: "It's August 16th, it's a good day."

Mrs. Li immediately smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay! Are all the wedding stuff ready? Didn't your wife say if we need to do anything?"

Zhu San shook his head, "Madam said that she would arrange for someone to come to take the old lady to Fucheng in advance. All other things have been taken care of, so the old lady can feel at ease."

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li looked at each other and asked in a low voice, "Have you prepared Erya's dowry?"

"Third Madam, don't worry, everything is ready." Zhu San understood what they were concerned about, and continued: "The betrothal gift given by the Liang family includes two hundred taels of betrothal money, a load of betrothal cakes, eight types of seafood, abalone, ginseng, wing belly, and hair. Vegetables, oysters, scallops, and shrimps; the three animals were given two pairs of chickens, and pork; wine, fruits, fish, Sijing fruit, four-color sugar, tea, sesame seeds, sticker boxes, incense cannons, gold bracelets, and rice. Some of the betrothal gifts are generous, and they are all purchased according to the requirements of the official media.”

The couple Zhu San mentioned made everyone in the room dumbfounded.

Ms. Liu clicked her tongue and said, "This wealthy family has many rules for getting married. The bride price alone is two hundred taels. Just think of it, we can marry a hundred wives!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhu San pursed his lips and chuckled, saying nothing.

When Yang Laoer heard the two hundred taels of bride price, he couldn't help but regret. If he had persisted more, his daughter would still be his, and this kind of scenery would also belong to his family.

Li knew what Yang Laoer was thinking with just one glance. She lowered her eyes with a sullen face, and then said with a worried look: "The man has given such a large bride price, how much dowry should I prepare for you!"

Mrs. Liu consoled her, "Didn't Lao San's family give Erya a yard as a dowry? At least there are dozens of taels!"

"I thought this was the only gift in our village before, but compared with the betrothal gift given by the Liang family, it is not enough at all." Mrs. Li is so worried!

Yang Daya gritted her teeth and stood up with her child in her arms, "Grandma, don't worry. If it doesn't work, let's try to get it together. We should be able to get a hundred taels together."

Li looked at her with pity and shook her head, "You have paid too much for your second wife. Now that Erya is getting married, it is beyond our capabilities. How can we put pressure on you." After saying this, Li glared hard. Yang Laoer glanced at him.

This time Yang Laoer didn't even dare to fart.

Zhu San looked around and said unhurriedly: "Old madam, you don't have to worry. The eldest lady will also call our madam "Aniang" now. Madam has naturally prepared all the eldest lady's dowry."

"What has sister-in-law prepared?" Zhou asked curiously.

Zhu San straightened his back and said: "A set of plum blossom red gold noodle, a set of gilded green noodle, a set of pearl noodle, a set of sterling silver noodle, plus two red sandalwood dowry sets, huanghuali Babu bed, rosewood three There are various tables, screens, rosewood beauty couches, Eight Immortals tables, piano tables, desks, etc., screens, various porcelain ornaments, clothes and beddings from all seasons, and 600 taels of silver at the bottom of the box. , and a personal nanny.”

Zhu San read out Yang Erya's dowry in one breath without losing his breath.

The villagers were stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

Yang Daya was the first to come to her senses, swallowed her saliva, and asked: "These many things must cost a lot of money!"

She asked what everyone was thinking.

Zhu San nodded honestly, "It's natural. After all, you are marrying a girl from the Marquis of Guang'en, so there must be pomp and ceremony. Apart from other things, the furniture and porcelain alone cost thousands of taels, and the four sets of hair and face also cost several hundred taels." , plus the silver at the bottom of the box and other things, you must be able to get a few thousand taels of silver. "

Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. Li nodded dryly, a little nervous, "Why did you give Erya so much dowry?"

She felt powerless thinking about it later.

Zhu San chuckled, "Old Madam, Madam said, you don't have to worry about these things. I just came here to give you a message to put your mind at ease."

If it weren't for Yang Laoer being here, he wouldn't even want to say so much!

Now let’s explain these things clearly in front of Yang Lao Er, lest Yang Lao Er think that their wife took advantage of adopting Yang Erya!

Zhu San explained the matter clearly and left.

Seeing that Mrs. Li was fine, other people in the village congratulated her and followed her.

Yang Lao Er helped Yang Lao San send the villagers out, but did not dare to say a word from beginning to end.

Zhu San returned to Fucheng from Rongshu Village. When he saw Jiang Ning, he immediately told her vividly what he had seen and heard in the village.

Xu Nuoyan frowned as he listened, "Aniang, do you think the second wife will come over on the day Erya gets married?"

Jiang Ning sipped his saliva and said with a faint look, "Maybe! After all, Fugui is still here, and he won't rest assured if he doesn't take this opportunity to come and take a look."

Xu Nuoyan pouted and complained on behalf of Yang Erya and Yang Fugui, "If you ask me, they are really pitiful. Erya is just a girl. She is still protected by her mother-in-law. She will have nothing to do with the second wife in the future. But Fugui will never be able to get rid of him in this life!

The daughter-in-law heard from Yi'er and her father that Fugui worked steadily and steadily. She had worked in the brick kiln for so long and had never made any mistakes, let alone said a word about money. Although she was young, she could handle things. Listen to Yi'er Her father wanted to reuse it. "

Jiang Ning nodded, "I also know this. The three children of the second wife are all good in nature. They were taught a wrong way by those two bastard parents before. Now that they have straightened themselves out, they can naturally be cultivated without delay. As for wealth, he Dad, as well as his grandpa and grandma, won’t be able to cause trouble for the time being. In two years, when he becomes rich and wealthy, I will help him find a marriage. As long as he gets married, his dad won’t be able to cause any trouble. "
