Chapter 392 Preparations Before Getting Married (3)
Therefore, when Lu Haojie entered this house, seeing that everything was well tidied up, and there was an old servant behind him, he couldn't help feeling hot inside, and sighed for the thoughtfulness of his father-in-law's family!

After washing and resting, Lu Haojie took off the tiredness on his body, and woke up refreshed, and a flash of that shy pink-blue figure flashed in his mind, and he unconsciously felt a burst of brain fever.

After holding back for a while, but still not holding back, she immediately got up and put on her clothes, with a delicate brocade box in her arms, and went to Lin's mansion.

It wasn't until he walked in front of the Lin's mansion that Lu Haojie's mind came to his senses a little, knowing that it was impossible to see his sister Xiaoxi whom he had been thinking about so much.

Lu Haojie touched the small brocade box in his bosom. Inside was a pair of red gold hairpins inlaid with gemstones, which he personally selected during his spare time. He wanted to give his wife a wedding gift.

Originally, he wanted to hand it over to her, but he never found a chance. In desperation, Lu Haojie had no choice but to ask the concierge to quietly send a message to Lin Xiaoqiao, asking her to come and meet him, and hand over his gift to Lin Xiaoqiao. To Lin Xiaoxi.

These days, Lin Xiaoqiao has been busy with Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng. When Lu Haojie sent someone to pass on the message, she was accompanying Mrs. Li to check Lin Xiaoxi's dowry in the storeroom, preparing to register it and make a dowry list.

As soon as Lin Xiaoqiao heard the concierge's message, she couldn't help snickering, and hurried to her door, she didn't make much greetings, and said, "Brother Haojie, what did you ask me to come out for? The day is very busy, if you want to chat with my little sister, then I don't have time!"

After hearing this, Lu Haojie knew why she was busy, so without saying a word, he bowed to Lin Xiaoqiao to express his gratitude.

Lin Xiaoqiao was so amused by his serious appearance that he wanted to laugh, so he couldn't help but said, "Brother Haojie, don't talk to me anymore! My mother is still waiting for me in the warehouse to help her count the dowry." If you have anything to do, just tell me, it’s my duty to help you if you can! Just don’t point at me, and help me meet my sister! If my mother finds out, I’m going to It’s too late! It’s only a few days before we get married, so brother Haojie will take away that lovesickness again, and when we get married, you two will have to look at each other every day!”

Lu Haojie was suddenly teased by Lin Xiaoqiao, with a look of shame on his face, he climbed up, hesitantly took out the brocade box from his arms, and handed it to Lin Xiaoqiao, "Sister Xiaoqiao , please help me give this to your sister." After finishing speaking, she turned and left without looking back.

Lin Xiaoqiao smiled, opened the brocade box and looked at it, her mind became clear, she hurried to her sister's room, and stuffed the box into Lin Xiaoxi's arms, "Sister, this is my brother-in-law who asked me to give it to you." Yours, you take care of it."

Lin Xiaoxi was a little confused, but before she could ask her carefully, she saw her little sister and left in a hurry.

Opening the brocade box in my hand, I saw a pair of exquisite and beautiful hairpins inside, and my little sister said "brother-in-law asked me to give it to you" echoed in my ears. In an instant, my heart was like honey. , for a while sweet.

And Lin Xiaoqiao went back to the warehouse, and accompanied Li to count the dowry. The mother and daughter walked around the house, counting all kinds of furniture and clothes, while the other sat at the table, With a pen in hand, write down the same thing.

After Mrs. Li had counted all the dowry belongings, Lin Xiaoqiao was very careful again, and classified the things on the list just now.

Furniture and furnishings are classified into one category and written on the same list; clothes and jewelry are classified into one category and written on the same list; calligraphy and paintings and antiques are also classified into the same category and recorded on the same list.

All the dowries are recorded on four lists, and there is another one that should record the shop and farm of the dowry, plus the amount of silver at the bottom of the box. However, Mrs. Li has not given her the details, so Lin Xiaoqiao left it empty. There, there is no record.

Show Li Shi the list he made, "Mother, do you think this is the way to go? It won't look messy if the categories are sorted out, and it will be easier for others to count them up." ".

Mrs. Li was illiterate, but she could understand how to classify her daughters roughly, and she was happy with her intelligence, so she put her arms around Lin Xiaoqiao and praised with a smile: "Mother's daughter is capable, smarter than mother! "

Lin Xiaoqiao pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't respond to his mother's praise, he only pointed to the list in his hand that said 'Field, Zhuangzi and Press Box Silver', and asked: "Mother, what is our family planning to do?" How much land and Zhuangzi will you give to your sister as a dowry? And the silver at the bottom of the box, how much will you give?"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she smiled, and said with a little worry: "Zhuangzi, let's give it one place. I just asked Steward Ping to buy it a few days ago. It's just that Zhuangzi bought it from our side of the border." Yes, after your sister gets married, she will definitely follow your brother-in-law to take up the post, so what will happen to Zhuangzi then? There is also a dowry field, which is also a big problem!"

"It's not difficult. Brother-in-law's official position can't be done in one place all the time. We have to change places all the time. The fields we gave our sister as a dowry, Zhuangzi and so on, just choose those that are close to us. At that time, no matter if we help take care of it, or my sister chooses a few servants to help manage it, then it will be done!" Lin Xiaoqiao thought for a while and said.

Mrs. Li nodded, "According to what you said, it's not impossible." Then he thought of something, and said, "Ouch—we were so busy, we forgot to buy someone for your sister, and the dowry is over! "

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, she felt that it was the same. Like the current family of their family, when girls go out, they always have to marry a few servants, while Lin Xiaoxi only has one personal servant girl now, so she took another piece of paper , used to record dowry slaves.

"Mother, don't worry, we still have a few days. I'll ask Uncle Ping to ask the matchmaker to bring some. The clever little girl is here. Let's pick one today, and then let my sister bring it over." Li looked a little anxious, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't help persuading her.

Mrs. Li nodded in response, and Lin Xiaoqiao yelled out the door, calling her personal maid, Luzhu, and asked her to tell Uncle Ping about the matter in the afternoon.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter, who was so busy these days, but she was all in order, and she couldn't help sighing: "Oh, mother is getting old, if you didn't help me these days, I wouldn't have to go out How wrong!"

After finishing speaking, he stroked Lin Xiaoqiao's head again, and said quietly: "The days go by so fast, in a blink of an eye, your sister will be here, and she will be married! Seeing that your sister will soon be married I'm about to go out, and my mother always feels like I'm twisting a rope in my heart. I'm not strong! Fortunately, I still have you by my side now. What should I do when you get married? ..."
