peasant girl

Chapter 14, this seniority
Zhu Danniang never dreamed that the sister-in-law would tell her so bluntly after seeing her thoughts.

He didn't want her to marry into Lan's family.

"Woooo!" The more she thought about it, the more wronged and ashamed Zhu Danniang felt.

She asked herself that she was not bad, she was not stupid, she could do housework, and the food she cooked was pretty tasty, so why did the sister-in-law look down on her?

"Dan Niang..." Liu exclaimed, and hurriedly followed.

Zhu Danniang entered the room, crawled on the bed and cried loudly.

"Danniang, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Liu asked softly.

There were all kinds of guesses in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask.

Danniang Zhu turned a deaf ear to it, and after crying for a long time, she looked at Mrs. Liu, "Mom, am I bad? I don't look good, and I'm stupid!"

Mrs. Liu gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter. Zhu Danniang was the youngest daughter, and she loved her more since she was a child.

In addition, these years have been easy, and I have nothing to worry about, and I have pampered my little daughter even more.

"How come, our Danniang is the best, not only good-looking, but also well-behaved and sensible, good at embroidery, and delicious food, why do you suddenly ask?"

"Mother, I, I..." Zhu Danniang choked up, and she said after a while, "Sister-in-law said that you want to marry me, I, I don't want to marry, I don't want to..."

"..."

Liu Shi immediately understood.

Lan Zhen probably knew what Danniang was thinking.

But it's no wonder Danniang has thoughts about that boy Xun Muyang. Not to mention that boy is good-looking, he can make money, and he looks like a nobleman. Although he lives in the mountains, is he short of money?Never!

Every time I come to the house, wild boars, pheasants, and sometimes even a deer, or even tigers, have you ever taken a penny back?Never!

Lan Zhen is also really kind to her younger brother. Lan Zhen makes all the clothes and never hands them to others. His younger brother still has a house on the mountain, and there is no one on weekdays, so he is the only one on the mountain.

In her heart, she hoped that Danniang would marry Xun Muyang, but in fact, she also knew that Xun Muyang looked down on her Danniang.

"Daniel..."

"Mother, can you persuade my sister-in-law for me, please?" Zhu Danniang asked pitifully.

Mrs. Liu thought about it carefully, "Don't cry, I'll ask your sister-in-law, what's the plan? But Daniang, since your sister-in-law said this, you have to understand what kind of person she is. Don't be stubborn, if you pissed her off, then it won't work here, if you marry someone else's house, she won't work hard for your dowry, and mother won't be able to give you a decent dowry!"

This is Liu's truth, such a situation in the family.

Those things don't only belong to the family, but more to Lan Zhen.

Zhu Danniang hesitated for a moment, then nodded with tears in her eyes.

If she really wanted to give up, she still wanted to hold onto the dowry firmly.

After comforting Zhu Danniang, Mrs. Liu went to Lanzhen's house.

Lan Zhen has always been diligent, tidying up the house, and lighting the incense, the faint smell makes her feel refreshed as soon as she enters.

"Lan Zhen!"

Lan Zhen raised her eyes, looked at Mrs. Liu and smiled faintly, "Mother is here, sit down!"

Lan Zhen asked Liu Shi to sit down and poured tea for her.

Mrs. Liu didn't drink, called Jia Yi to her side, held the child in her arms, and asked softly, "Lan Zhen, what do you think about Danniang's matter?"

"..."

Lan Zhen pursed her lips and raised her eyes to size up Mrs. Liu.

This mother-in-law is not particularly smart, but reasonable.

"Mother, we have no control over Ayang's marriage. If he takes a fancy to Danniang, I won't stop him, but look, he comes and goes at home, has he ever talked to Danniang? Since he didn't This kind of thinking, Danniang is still so entangled, it is boring!" Lan Zhen said, paused and continued, "Danniang is not young, so she should say kiss, you tell her, if she gets married honestly, In addition to the dowry on the bright side, I, the sister-in-law, will give her 500 taels of silver as the bottom of the box. If she is disobedient and insists on making trouble, then I will give as much money as the bottom of the box for the second sibling, and I will not pay a penny more. out!"

"..."

Liu Shi took a breath when he heard this.

500 taels of silver.

She added up all the sevens and eights in her hand, but she didn't have 50 taels.

This is just the bottom of the box, given quietly, no matter how obvious it is, you have to give something of ten or eight, seven or eight, and this dowry will definitely not be too bad.

"Lan Zhen..."

Lan Zhen raised her hand and gently smoothed her hair behind her ears, "Mother, I hope that everything will be happy at home, I don't want to make trouble over such a trivial matter, let outsiders see jokes, and I don't want Ayang to think too much, and never come to the house again Mother, do you think this makes sense?"

"Yes yes yes, that's the reason, don't worry, I will persuade Danniang, and I will pay close attention to her marriage, but do you think there is any good family?"

"This Zhujia Village is definitely not going to work. My second brother is pretty decent in the town. I asked him to help me find out. Those who are rich in family background, motivated by young people, and kind-hearted are still studying. Yes, our Tanniang will be better off, what do you think of this?"

"Okay, okay, you can take care of this matter!" Mrs. Liu was very satisfied with this.

After sitting for a while, I went to tell Zhu Danniang.

Zhu Danniang sat on the bed and thought for a long time...

No matter how good Xun Muyang is, he is just a hunter and has no self-motivation, but if he marries to the town, the husband is a scholar, he is a scholar, and she is a scholar's wife. With the 500 taels of silver promised by his sister-in-law, plus the dowry, life will be uncertain. It will be too difficult.

"Mom, I'll follow your and sister-in-law's arrangement!"

Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, you obediently listen to your sister-in-law, she will not treat you badly, seeing that you have learned embroidery all these years, and you have saved some private money from the embroidery you sell. Take a look at the whole Zhujia Village, There are a few girls who can save private money, and those who are worse, such as Zhu Jiazhaodi and Zhu Xiao, who are not hungry, have done so much work, and are beaten. I heard that they were almost beaten to death. ...!"

I'm really afraid that Danniang will not listen to the persuasion and annoy Lanzhen, and won't give me a penny at that time, that would be really embarrassing.

Zhu Danniang pursed her lips slightly, "Mother, I know, some of my clothes are too small and old, and I can't wear them, you can give them to them if you have a look, I have seen Zhaodi, Xiaoxiao, Hua'er before, Poor thing!"

"Okay, I'll send it over some other day, pick the bad ones, cut two holes, take the good ones, and they won't fall into their hands!" Mrs. Liu patted Danniang's head.

Girls, at the beginning of love, will always fall in love with such a man, it's not a big deal.

Just don't get confused and drill into the dead end.

The carriage was pedaling on the country road, Zhu Fugui was very happy all the way, and kept talking to Xun Muyang, and Xun Muyang occasionally answered him.

Zhu Fugui didn't care, anyway, his brother-in-law had this temperament, he didn't like to talk, just got used to it.

"Huh?" Zhu Fugui looked at the man walking in front, "Isn't that Zhu Erlang?"

When he got to Zhu Erlang's side, Zhu Fugui stopped the carriage, "Erlang, are you going to town?"

Zhu Erlang looked at Zhu Fugui, then at Xun Muyang, and at the wild boar tied up on the cart, and nodded, "Well, go tell the boss and settle the wages along the way!"

"?" Zhu Fugui paused, and didn't ask further, "Then you come up, I'll give you a lift!"

"..."

Zhu Erlang thought, if he walks by himself, he will have to walk for a while, and he will have to rely on the help of the villagers to walk around the village in the future, "Okay, I will trouble you!"

"What's the trouble, come up!"

"Hey!"

When Zhu Erlang got into the carriage, Zhu Fugui introduced again, "This is my elder brother, Ayang, Ayang, this is Zhu Erlang, a few words older than me, you can call Brother Erlang!"

Xun Muyang looked at Zhu Erlang, feeling that this person looked familiar, but didn't think much, "Brother Erlang!"

"Brother Ayang!"
