Chapter 81
Sun Xue drew a blueprint, and then instructed Chen Donghan to transform the paddy field according to the blueprint.

What Sun Xue wants to do is to raise fish in rice fields, so she has to heighten and strengthen the ridges of the fields, and dig fish trenches and fish pits.It took Chen Donghan two days to make Tian look like Sun Xue's drawings.

Chen Donghan said: "Miss Sun, if you do this, can you really raise fish?"

Sun Xue said: "Of course I can."

Once the paddy field is finished, it should be disinfected.Sun Xue sprinkled quicklime on the paddy field.

In a few days, Sun Xue will be able to raise seedlings in the paddy fields.

When Sun Xue and Chen Donghan returned to the Chen family that day, they found that the atmosphere of the Chen family was somewhat different.The Chen family all looked happy.It was rare for Wang Cuihua not to scold Chen Donghan.

At the dinner table, Wang Cuihua said to Chen Donghan: "Third brother, the Zhang family from the next village sent someone to our house to propose marriage."

Chen Donghan thought for a while, "But the Zhang family that produced a scholar?" There is also a scholar in Zhangjia Village in the neighboring village, but this scholar is ten years older than Chen Qiusheng.

Wang Cuihua said, "It's Zhang Xiucai's family."

Chen Donghan asked: "But Zhang Xiucai came to propose marriage to Second Sister?"

Wang Cuihua said: "Yes, it is Zhang Xiucai." This Xiucai is seven years older than Chen Xiahe, and judging from his age, he is a good match.

Sun Xue felt a little strange that this scholar was a scholar after all, and this year he could go to Beijing for the No. [-] examination.How could he fall in love with Chen Xiahe?
Chen Xiahe wants appearance but not appearance, and character but not character.Zhang Xiucai is a scholar after all, and she is lazy on weekdays. What is it about her that he has a crush on?

However, radishes and cabbages have their own preferences, maybe they like Chen Xiahe.

It can be seen that Chen Xiahe is still very satisfied with Zhang Xiucai.After all, he is a scholar, if he goes to Beijing this time to rush for the exam and is admitted as the number one scholar, Chen Xiahe can become the wife of the number one scholar.

Chen Donghan said: "This is a good thing. Congratulations to Second Sister."

Chen Xiahe said: "Thank you third brother."

Wang Cuihua said: "Third brother, you also know that Zhang Xiucai is a talented scholar, and Xia He's marriage to him is regarded as high-profile. Therefore, we have to provide a generous dowry, so that the Zhang family will not make Xia He look down upon."

Sun Xue felt that what Wang Cuihua said made sense.However, is she going to ask Chen Donghan to settle the dowry?

Seeing Wang Cuihua's amiable look towards Chen Donghan, Sun Xue knew that Wang Cuihua must have such an idea in her heart.

As expected by Sun Xue, Wang Cuihua really asked Chen Donghan about the money.What she meant was that the family had bought a house, and Chen Qiusheng was about to take the exam in Beijing, so the family had no money.Let Chen Donghan find a way to buy a dowry for Chen Xiahe.

Chen Donghan felt that Chen Xiahe was his sister, and he should prepare a dowry for her.He said, "Mother, what dowry should we prepare for Second Sister?"

Wang Cuihua said: "The meaning of the Zhang family is that there is no need to prepare other things for the dowry, and the dowry will be dowry with silver."

"Dowry with money?" Sun Xue was a little surprised.She probably knows a little about the customs and etiquette of this world.If the daughter is married, she must prepare some other dowry. It seems a bit unusual to use silver as a dowry.

Wang Cuihua said: "You also know that Zhang Xiucai's family is not very rich, and he will be going to Beijing this year to rush for the exam, so he needs money. So, I hope we can use the money to marry Xia He."

Only then did Sun Xue understand that the reason Zhang Xiucai proposed marriage to Chen Xiahe was for money.This is equivalent to Chen Xiahe spending money to marry into the Zhang family.

Yes, it takes a sum of money to go to Beijing to take the exam.If it is a relationship, it will cost more money.
