Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 102 Sisters
"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, we are all a family, why are you talking about heretics? The girls in the family are all good. When you go out, grandpa will accompany you all with the best dowry. "The old man said hehe.

In this era, the status of women is very low. The Xu family is not bad, and they love boys and girls equally.In some families, women are not treated as human beings at all.Some families will directly drown the girls who are born, and some will raise them, but they have to do a lot of work, and when they grow up, they will be exchanged for a dowry gift.When girls get married, there is no accompanying dowry at all.For ordinary families, it is good for a girl to have a dowry of two burdens when she gets married.Like Huixin, it is very rare for the daughter of a peasant household to have a dowry of more than ten or twenty liters when she gets married.It's no wonder that Tao's mother-in-law misses Huixin's dowry, it's so enviable.

"Grandma, I'm going to see Eldest Sister." Jing Han stood up, said something to Mrs. Chen, and went out to the backyard.When I came to Jingya's room, it happened that Jingya had also changed her clothes. The 17-year-old Jingya is the best age for a woman. Her flowery face and slim figure all show youth and vitality.Dressed in red, she looked cheerful and charming. "Sister, you look so beautiful." Jing Han couldn't help but said.

Jingya looked up at Jinghan, with a gentle smile on her soft face, "Isn't it beautiful? Are you willing to come back? I thought you had to come back tomorrow." The voice was like an oriole coming out of the valley, accompanied by an obvious smile meaning, reverberating in the house.

Jinghan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Uh, am I thinking about those silkworm cocoons? Actually, it's fine if I don't come back, I guess my brother-in-law won't want to see me." It can be seen from that year that Yue Pengcheng was interested in Jingya After that, Jinghan made troubles a lot.When Pengcheng came to Xu's house, Jinghan hid Jingya and didn't let them meet.At that time, the family didn't know what was going on, and they would stay with Pengcheng for meals, and Jinghan would take the food to the backyard, and then the sisters ate together in the back, anyway, it was to make Pengcheng look down on Jingya.Later, it was still spring, and Jinghan had to go back to the mountain, so she didn't continue to make trouble.

Fortunately, when Pengcheng's mother came to Xu's house, she fell in love with Jingya as soon as she saw her. She directly expressed her attitude to Mrs. Chen, and Pengcheng's thoughts were made public.If it wasn't for the filial piety period, Jing Ya would have married into Yue's family long ago.

Jingya couldn't help laughing when she thought of the situation at that time, "You ghost, I didn't know what was going on at the time, why did you have to eat alone in the backyard and let me accompany you? Later I know, I don't want Pengcheng to see me." After three years of experience, Jingya is no longer as shy as she was at first, and has become much more cheerful.At the same time, because of the housekeeper's relationship, she is no longer a little girl who doesn't understand the world at all. Behind her gentleness, lies decisiveness and ability.

Jinghan looked at the eldest sister who was as delicate as a flower in front of her, and thought that the name her family gave her was really correct.Zhenjing and elegant, these four words are really right to describe her.Hmph, Yue Pengcheng was really lucky in eight lifetimes to be able to marry his eldest sister.When Jinghan thought that her eldest sister was about to get married, she complained infinitely to Yue Pengcheng. "Sister, has the wedding date been set? Let's get married later, I can't bear you." Jinghan stepped forward and put her arms around Jingya's waist, resting her head on Jingya's shoulder.

"Mother said it will probably be in Dongyue, and I've been busy at that time. It's still more than half a year, otherwise you don't go up the mountain, you just stay with me at home." Jingya deliberately teased Jinghan, she knew that she This little sister is all about making money. "Jinghan, listen to my sister, our family is doing well now, why bother to suffer so much? You are already fifteen, and you can stay at home for two or three years at most, so it's time to get married. No matter how capable you are, get married Can you still manage the family affairs? Let go when it’s time to let go. Everything in the future depends on the eldest brother and Wenxuan. If the two of them are incapable, so what if you earn a fortune? They have to be able to keep it You have to figure it out. If brother is capable, why bother you to work so hard to earn money?" Jing Ya patted Jing Han on the back, and couldn't help but persuade softly.

"At the beginning, you asked me to learn how to be a housekeeper, and asked me to learn more things. Now my sister is going to tell you this. It is time for you to learn these things. Now that I am going to get married, it is up to you to take care of these things at home. Take over the matter. You are indeed responsible for our family's current situation, but a girl should restrain herself when it is time to restrain herself. There is no man in the world who would like his wife to earn more money than her husband. It's a man's self-esteem problem. So once you get married, you can no longer run out all day like before. Besides, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. If a man can't support a family, then marry What does he do? On the other hand, marry a wife, marry a wife, eat and dress. If you marry a daughter-in-law, you can't do anything, so why would they marry you?" Jinghan never said so much, maybe she was about to Married, and really worried about this tomboy-like younger sister, that's why she said this.

Jinghan leaned on her sister's shoulder, listening to her sister's words, Jinghan understood that it was because her elder sister was worried about herself.It's right to think about it. Since ancient times, the male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. It has not changed for thousands of years.Even in her previous life, some men still have such thoughts, and this is not something she can change alone.Now that I have come here, I still have to adapt to the general environment. I have family members at home, and it doesn't matter what I like to do. When I really get married in the future, I really have to take these things into consideration.Could it be that she can stay at home without marrying for the rest of her life?It's too unrealistic, okay? "Sister, I understand. Don't worry, I won't go up the mountain again this fall."

Now that the land has been bought, and there are two families, the Wang family and the Fang family, there is really no need to do everything by myself.A lot of things have already been handed over to them, whether they are good or bad, that is their business, and I just need to be responsible for supervision.Otherwise, if Wenhan and Wenxuan take the imperial examination in the future, wouldn't the family have to worry about their father all the time?These two families seem to be good, honest and reliable, and there are two boys who can be regarded as clever. If they are well trained, they will be material for management.Even if the two Wen Han brothers failed the exam in the end, they still had to have competent people to help them.

Jingya knew that it was not easy for Jinghan to make such a decision, so she didn't say any more.The two sisters were talking about some unimportant things, and it happened that Jing Wan and Jing Xian also came behind, so the four sisters talked together.Jingxian is now 12 years old, but her appearance is becoming more and more outstanding, and she has a faint smile on her face.Every time Jinghan sees this little sister, she will worry, how can such a girl not become a disaster, but protect her life and stability?If a woman does not have a strong backer, then her beauty is not happiness, but a disaster.And where will the Xu family go to protect Jing Xian and make her a happy life?Jinghan can't think of it now.

"Jingxian, after the eldest sister is engaged, you will go back to the mountain with me, understand? Jingwan can not use it, but stay at home and help the eldest sister prepare the dowry." Jinghan can't think of anything now, so she can only put Jing Xian hides.Jing Xian is still young and not often in town, so not many people know her.Now we can only let Jing Xian appear in the town as little as possible, and when Jing Xian reaches the age, I will find a good marriage for her.

Since she was a child, Jingxian liked to follow Jinghan. When she heard Jinghan say this, she was naturally happy. "Okay, I think the town is too boring, so it's better to be comfortable on the mountain. Second sister, you have taught me how to raise silkworms and mushrooms in the past few years. The eldest sister is going to get married, and I think the second sister will be soon too. I My sister is the same age as my second sister, and you are about to leave. I am still young, and I can stay at home for a few years, and it will be useful for me to learn." Jingxian is not those idiot beauties, her beauty has not damaged her IQ in the slightest.In these years, Jingxian has practiced literature and martial arts with everyone, showing the cleverness of a little girl everywhere, no less than Jinghan.It's just that Jinghan felt sorry for her young age and didn't teach her these tiring things.

Jinghan thought about it, and thought it was okay, so that Jingxian could spend more time on the mountain. "Okay, just now my eldest sister told me to come back to the town and learn more about needlework and cooking. It just so happens that I will take you with me this summer, and I can rest assured when I go back to town after autumn. The red lotus on the mountain and the others must be watched by someone from our family, otherwise how would they know what to do?"

When the sisters are together, it is inevitable to talk about Jingya's marriage. Everyone is curious about what betrothal gift the Yue family will send tomorrow. "Sister, what do you think brother Pengcheng and his family will send?" Jing Xian looked at Jing Ya with her big eyes flickering.

Jingya's face turned red, "Xiao Nizi, it's not easy for you to be so curious. I'll go tell grandma right now, hurry up and make a marriage for you, and then you'll know what they can bring It's gone." Jingya stretched out her hand and pinched Jingxian's tender face.

Jingxian covered her face and jumped away, "Eldest sister, you have learned badly from second sister, she is just curious."

"I'll find out tomorrow. The Yue family is a big family and is well-known in the town. I guess there will be some good things besides the usual necessities. Let's talk about it. Now it's an engagement, so it's not hard for Peng Brother Cheng. When we get married, hey, I won’t give enough red envelopes, but I can’t let him in.” Jinghan had already made up her mind to blackmail her, so she started looking for allies now.

"That's a good idea, yes, we must get big red envelopes then." Jingxian clapped her hands in agreement.

Jingya was so angry that she glared at Jinghan, "You, you can't take a good lead. Don't you think about how old you are? Be careful that everyone will be so difficult for my brother-in-law who doesn't know where he is. What do you do?"
