Pastoral little master

Chapter 375 The Dowry
Could it be that grandpa is also interested in barren mountains and wasteland?
Thinking of this, Qiduo asked with a smile, "Grandpa, is it possible that Wangsong County also has barren mountains and wasteland?"

"Haha, you girl, you are a ghost, you can't hide this from you." Old Master Xu laughed loudly.

"Grandpa, if you buy it, then I will provide you with a batch of high-quality seedlings, and I guarantee that the barren mountains and wasteland will be like Luhuapo." Qi Duo said with a smile.

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Okay, I have set my sights on a few barren hills for a long time, but I have been hesitating because I am afraid that they will be difficult to grow. Now I am relieved after hearing what Qiyatou said. Buy them."

Then he raised his eyebrows at Qiduo again, "Qiyatou, if that barren mountain can become like Luhuapo, how about I use half of it as a dowry for you?"

"Haha!" The others laughed amusedly.

"Grandpa!" Qiduo shyly annoyed, but quickly blinked her big eyes and asked, "How many acres is that half?"

"You...haha!" Seeing that Qiduo was still shy one second, and asked how many there were the next, Mr. Xu couldn't help being overjoyed, "You little girl is really different from ordinary girls, you are generous, okay, I I like it. Don’t worry, I will never lose you by then, at least five hundred acres, how about it? Haha!”

"Then thank you grandpa first." Qi Duo also laughed.

Don't reject the things that grandpa gave you for nothing!
Qiduo smiled mischievously in her heart.

Next, Qiduo talked about some details of the cooperation with Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu was happy, and temporarily decided to stay at Qiduo's house for a few more days before going home.

Mrs. Xu was very happy about her father's decision. She took care of her carefully after busy work, and wished she could honor her father with all the delicious food in the house.

And Mr. Xu has been holding Qiduo to chat with her about business-related matters.

After chatting for a few days, Qiduo gained a lot, lamented that Jiang is still old and spicy, it is not accidental that the Xu family can achieve today's success, and indeed learned a lot of practical and valuable experience from Mr. Xu.

After sending off Mr. Xu reluctantly, Qiduo's family started to get busy again.

However, this time it was Erxia's marriage that was busy.

Erxia and Kang Jin are scheduled to get married on the eighth day of November. Now it is late October, and the family is busy preparing the dowry for Erxia.

After the family sat down to discuss, they decided to prepare a dowry for Erxia at 36. Not to mention in the countryside, even in the county town, it was comparable to the daughters of wealthy families.

In addition to Erxia's own embroidery, the dowry included clothes for the four seasons, various fabrics, jewelry, land deeds, furniture, pots, etc.

These fields are fertile fields that Erxia specially bought in the outskirts of the county, so that it will be easy for Kang's family to take care of them.

In addition to Qiduo's family preparing the dowry these days, relatives and friends from the family also came over one after another to add boxes for the dowry.

Zheng Wanru sent ten bolts of high-quality lake silk and a pair of jadeite bracelets, which were extremely generous additions to the box.

Mr. Tan and Mrs. Zhao also added cloth and a silver collar.

In addition to the gifts from other relatives, the 36 dowries were genuine, so full that you couldn't even put your hands in them.

Seeing so many dowries, Erxia felt very sorry, so she said to Mrs. Xu, "Mother, you don't need these, you take some down and keep them for Ju. We have today at home, but it's hard-won. This dowry can save you a lot of money." Save some."

Mrs. Xu patted her daughter's hand, straightened her daughter's hair on the sideburns, and said softly, "Silly girl, dowry is a woman's dignity when she enters her husband's house, and it is also to earn face for her husband's house. Aunt Guirong's family is kind , They made a re-employment, so naturally we can't be thin. You don't know, if Yiduo would like to prepare more.

Duo told me a long time ago that she must work hard to make more money and buy a generous dowry for her eldest sister. She must not make her elder sister poor, she must let her get married in a dignified manner. "

Erxia's nose was sore, and tears fell uncontrollably, "Duo is a silly girl, at such a young age, she has really worked too hard and tired for this family, like an adult, worrying about this and that.

Mother, life at home is getting better now, and you also advise Duo to take a good rest and stop being as tired as before.I only blame me for being useless as an elder sister, but let her worry about it. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely find a way to help the family and prevent Duo and Dad from working so hard. "

"Yeah, good girl! You blame your parents for being incompetent, and you and your sisters have suffered a lot since childhood. Now that you have finally made it through, our life will be better and better in the future." Mrs. Xu hugged her Erxia fell into her arms, but couldn't help being wet with tears.

Thinking that in a few days, my daughter will marry a woman. Being a mother can be described as mixed feelings. I am happy that my daughter has a good home, but I am also worried about whether my daughter will live well in her husband's house.

Here Erxia thought that the dowry was too much, and she was very panicked. The next day, the Xu family's carriage came again.

No, it should be said to be a carriage team.

Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu got off the first carriage.

"Father, elder brother, second younger brother, why are there these carriages?" Mrs. Xu and Tan Dejin rushed forward to greet them, Mrs. Xu pointed to the carriages behind and asked puzzledly.

"Hehe, Erxia is getting married, of course I, as a grandfather, will come to add a box for her." Old Master Xu squinted his eyes and smiled.

"And I'm an older uncle, and when my eldest niece gets married, I can't afford to add a box." Master Xu responded with a smile.

"There's my second uncle as well." Master Xu Er also replied with a smile.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming, the adults of the Xu family have many things to do, and Hu's sister-in-law has to arrange family affairs, so she can't find time to come.

Oh my god, add boxes?
How much do these wagons have to pull?
Xu and Tan Dejin's eyes widened.

Then Master Xu waved his hand, and his own coachmen moved the things on the carriage down.

Exquisite boxes and cages were brought down from the carriage, and several screens filled the main hall of Qiduo's house.

"Father, this... this is too much." Xu said in shock.

"Not much, not much." Mr. Xu waved his hand, then sighed softly, and said, "Well, speaking of it, I am very ashamed of Erxia, but if I do something wrong, I do it wrong. I can’t do it all over again. As a grandfather, I didn’t fulfill my duties as a grandfather before, and now it’s too late to repay, and she’s about to get married, so I asked the eldest and second child to prepare some small things for her, As a dowry, let her live a smooth life in her husband's house in the future, and I will be satisfied."

"Father, don't say that. It's not your fault. It's because my daughter was too impulsive at the time." Xu's eyes turned red again.

"Father, Mingxiu, this is a happy event, so don't mention those unpleasant things anymore." Master Xu interrupted hurriedly.

"That's right, sister, it's my father's wish, so you can accept it. Our Xu family's granddaughter is getting married, and the scene can't be too shabby." Master Xu Er's words were very arrogant.

Qiduo was listening, feeling very emotional, ah, it’s good if the family has money, and they speak confidently.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly wiped away her tears, and smiled at her father and the others, "Father, elder brother, and second younger brother, don't worry. Although Xia's dowry is not heavy, it is by no means shabby. There are 36 liters, which is enough."

"That's just right. Our side should be able to make up twelve liters. Add up to 48 liters. Four or four are as you wish, perfect, rich and rich, good meaning, so let's make 48 liters." Mr. Xu twisted lightly. Short beard said.

Liuju came in, seeing those things, his eyes flooded, he touched a white jade bottle in the cage, and said enviously, "Grandpa, Uncle and Uncle, you are so kind to Eldest Sister, give these good things."
When she first met Mr. Xu, she was still afraid.

Later, he stayed at home for a while, had more contact with him, and found that he was a lovely old man. The fear in his heart disappeared immediately, and he dared to joke with the old man.
"Liu girl, don't worry, when you get married, grandpa will also prepare a dowry for you, and I won't lose you, haha." Mr. Xu laughed heartily.

Liuju blushed immediately, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, you are good or bad. But, you have to keep your word."

Then she ran out shyly.

"This girl is also a little clever ghost." Mr. Xu and the others roared with laughter from behind.

"Sister, Liu Yatou will be fourteen in the new year, right?" Second Master Xu looked at Liu Ju's back and asked Xu.

"Yeah, life flies so fast." Xu said with emotion.

"Has the sixth girl ever been engaged?" Elder Xu continued to ask.

"Not yet, why, is there anything suitable for the second brother?" Xu's eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately.

Master Xu Er glanced at Qiduo.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled, "Grandpa, Uncle and Uncle, you guys drink tea, and I'll go make something delicious for you."

Then she left the hall with a smile.

In fact, I really don't want to leave, I want to hear what kind of family Xu Er wants to introduce to Liuju.

As soon as Qiduo left, Second Master Xu immediately pulled Mrs. Xu to sit aside, and said, "Sister, Caiyun's son from her brother's family has grown up to be outstanding this year, and it just so happens that he hasn't yet..."

Caiyun is the boudoir name of Qiduo's second aunt.
"Come on, second child, that kid looks too bad, he doesn't deserve to be a sixth girl." Before Master Xu could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Master Xu.

"Father, there is nothing to be afraid of if a man is ugly, as long as he has the ability." Master Xu Er argued.

Mr. Xu glared at him, "Hmph, with his little ability, he still can't catch my eyes." Then he looked at Mrs. Xu, "Xiu'er, what do you think of Xuan'er?"

Master Xu opened his eyes and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Father, Xuan'er's character, appearance and ability are all top-notch. I'm worried that he will not like Liu girl." Xu replied hurriedly.

This is her truth.

Xu Youxuan was a frequent visitor to the house, and she noticed that his eyes never stayed on Liuju too much.

He didn't like Liuju, if Liuju were to marry him, he would definitely not be happy in the future.

But now that her father opened his mouth, it made her feel embarrassed.
