reborn child bride

Chapter 83
Shen Ji listened roughly to the process, and envied the students who took the household registration booklet to get married immediately after graduating from university. Two chapters were stamped, and each person took a booklet, and it was done!
After getting this way, the marriage will be completed in three to five months.

Mrs. Lin glanced at her with a smile, "This is troublesome, you still have a lot of preparations to do. I just introduced you to the door. But fortunately, it's easy for you to get married. At least you don’t have to be so tense when you are young in the capital, and there is a buffer. You won’t have to live in a big family like the Wei family in Huaiyang when you don’t sit in the right place for the banquet once you get married.”

Shen Ji thought of that complicated family tree, it was only from the main family, if counted as side branches, the number of people would be huge.

"I shouldn't have said something. Mr. Xiao Wei is not here, and your grandfather and clan members are far away in Huaiyang. You are already very relaxed. Well, you can still go out while the two families haven't formally discussed marriage. Let's go. Come drink birthday wine with me in a few days."

"Yes, godmother." Shen Ji understood that Mrs. Lin was trying to lure her into the social circle.Recently, I have made some of the most popular clothes for her, and matched them with accessories.Originally, Shen Ji was still a little uneasy, but Wei Ying said that he would pay for these expenses, and then she calmed down.

"You only have one A Ling by your side, which is a little too small. I'm going to replace some of the servants in the mansion, and I'll call the servants into the mansion, so you can pick a few too. It's better to hold the deed of sale in your hand to be sure. Such people and their families are your slaves, and they dare not betray their trust."

"Yes." Up to now, Shen Ji can only follow the rules of the world, and can't be too unconventional.

Seeing that the time was still early, Mrs. Lin said again: "Master Xiao Wei sent 1 taels of silver, please be kind to me. Then I have to buy dozens of clothes and jewelry for you and spend a thousand taels. I want to hear your opinion on the rest. Do you want to carry dozens of red makeup into Wei's house in a beautiful manner or what?"

Shen Ji himself thought about this problem.Not to mention dozens of liters, she bought 120 or 2 liters, and that was also the money of the Wei family.The old man gave Wei Ying [-] taels when he got married, so will the other grandchildren also do the same? In the future, the sisters-in-law will spend tens of thousands of dowry when they come to their natal family. Once they know what her so-called dowry is like, what will they think?Let alone sisters-in-law, it is estimated that aunts and aunts will also be dissatisfied.She'd better try her best to keep a low profile.And the money is real when you hold it in your hand.

Wei Ying has just entered the officialdom, and although he has inherited the dowry from his late mother, holding a wedding like this involves buying real estate in the capital and buying a dowry gift, so he probably won't have any cash left in his hands at the end.The salary of a sixth-rank official is only 20 taels a month, and the expenses are far more than this amount.Even if she has benefits, outsiders, and a strong family background, I'm afraid it's not enough, let alone the social and entertainment in the officialdom.Therefore, it is best to keep more cash.

"Godmother, my daughter doesn't care about those imaginary things, as long as you have everything you should have."

Mrs. Lin understood what she meant, and also agreed to do a low-key dowry.But it can't be too low-key.The young couple didn't want to use Lin Fu's money, and she didn't force it.After careful calculation, the dowry can be done more beautifully with the least amount of money.

"Okay, I won't let you be laughed at then. I will leave you 5000 taels at the bottom of the box."

Shen Ji bowed and said, "I have to worry about Lao Ganniang."

Mrs. Lin waved her hand, "One family doesn't talk about two families, so don't talk heresy."

The servants came in to report, saying that Ren Yazi had brought people here and was waiting to see you in the outer hall.

Mrs. Lin stood up, "Okay, let's go pick and choose together. You pick the girls and companions by yourself, and I will check for you. My two daughters were two first-class personal maids when they came out of the cabinet. Four A second-class maid, a mother in charge, plus four companions. You can choose people according to this number."

When Ren Yazi came, she had already heard from the butler that Mrs. Lin wanted to choose young maids who could be trained, and she wanted to choose companion rooms and dowry maids for young ladies who were old enough to marry.

A Ling sent it with Shen, feeling a little uneasy.She didn't sign the deed of sale, only the paperwork for five years.But she is the first person around the girl, and the girl has always valued her very much, and she also studied hard in the Lin Mansion.In the future, the position of first-class maid will not be taken away by others, right?

Shen Ji took a half step forward, took Mrs. Lin's hand and said, "Godmother, my daughter wants to ask you to ask for Sister Wancui, so that I will have all the big maids. She was trained by you, so you should teach her a lot." Ling."

Ban Cui has an average appearance, but she is careful and cautious in her work, and she has a good relationship with A Ling.The point is, she swore not to be a concubine.Another point is that there is no old lady in Wancui who has a big family in the Lin family. She was sold into the Lin family alone, so there will not be so many entanglements in the future.

The big stone in A Ling's heart immediately fell to the ground.

Mrs. Lin cast a sideways glance, "You have made up your mind, do you want Ban Cui?"

"Yes." Mrs. Lin is asking if she really doesn't want to pick a good-looking, good-natured, easy-to-handle and moderate-aged Tong Fang?Shen Ji nodded without hesitation.Even if she waits a while to pick second-class girls, she will only pick the ones with good looks.

She is so good-looking that it is easy to have unreasonable thoughts. She doesn't want to have a few people around who will covet Wei Ying.If the appearance is bad, it is really hard to take it out.Moreover, it is not good to be too smart, nor is it good to be dull.Sometimes, the golden mean of the ancestors is really king.

As for the companion house, Shen Ji planned to choose one family who understood the affairs of the Zhuangzi, another two families who knew how to manage the shop, and keep another family by his side.The mother in charge is very demanding, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pick one today.She and Mrs. Lin asked for a second-class girl to be a first-class girl by her side, and then she asked for a mother in charge.The Lin family must be happy to give her their servants, so that they can have more contact, and she needs to express to Mrs. Lin that the contact will not be broken.You just need to pick the ones that don't involve so much with the Lin family.

For the four second-class maids, she only looked at the ones who could be trained by honesty and duty.There is an age difference of three to five years with A Ling and Wan Cui, so that when they get married, these little girls will come out of experience.She explained these thoughts to Mrs. Lin one by one, and Mrs. Lin asked the housekeeper to ask Ren Yazi.Then Ren Yazi made a selection and brought the recommended candidates to them.

The four companions are the entire family, namely Niu San's family, Fang Hong's family, Bao Ping's family, and Cui Daxiao's family.Among them, the Niu family and the Bao family had young girls of the right age, and Shen Ji directly let them occupy the places of the two second-class girls.Putting people around like this is good for each other.The other two little girls picked two who looked smart.It is tentatively planned that Niu San's family will go to Zhuangzi in the future, Bao Ping's family and Cui Daxiao's family will manage the shop, and Fang Hong's family will work with Shen Ji in the inner and outer houses.
