Chapter 14 The Dowry Disturbance (1)

Watching Su Yan join, the cousin who instantly became uncomfortable, Su Jin was worried about someone.

Didn't this all become "everyone hates"!Su Jin had no choice but to find some excuses to reconcile.

"Cousin Juan's embroidery is good, and she's better than me." Su Jin picked up sister Juan's handkerchief and admired it.

I sincerely admire these ancient people. At such a young age, all the female embroidery workers are not bad, and each one is better than the other. I can see that Su Jin is always envious, envious, and still envious.

"Tch, you still have the face to say it? Everyone is better than you!" Hearing this disturbing voice, Su Jin wanted to slap her flat and get up again.

But think about it, forget it, getting angry with her is like wrestling with a pig.

Sister Juan couldn't hold her breath when she was young. She didn't like this big cousin since she was a child.Without a trace of self-consciousness of other people's sisters, she still bullies and targets her own sisters everywhere.

Seeing the little cousin who was about to retort, Su Jin took out two pockets from the sewing basket covered behind her at a speed like wind, each of which was made of six colors of cloth. the results.

"Cousin Juan, this is for you to play with." Looking at the colorful "small square" pockets, she instantly attracted Sister Juan's attention.

"Sister Jin'er, is this really for me?" Although this pocket is only two or three inches square, it is all made of new cotton cloth.

In this era when poor people are dressed in sackcloth, this cloth pocket is considered a luxury.

Especially sister Juan, who doesn't have a toy of her own.Now, Sister Jin'er has made her two glamorous pockets, which can be said to make Sister Juan ecstatic.

"Thank you, Sister Jin'er!" Excitedly took the pocket that Su Jin handed over, flipped through it repeatedly, unable to put it down.Both of Mei's eyes are narrowed, two small crescents!
Looking at the considerate sister Jin'er, Sister Qin couldn't help laughing, "That's our sister Jin'er's prodigal family. The material used to make pockets can be used to make a pair of shoe uppers!"

"It's not something, it's just a prodigal!" Hearing the annoying voice, Su Jin said in her heart: Brain is a good thing, but someone doesn't have it.

After Su Yan's outrageous words, everyone was completely silent.

In the upper room, the host and guest chatted happily, and when they were full of wine and food, they sent away the Gu family, and the relatives and women of the Su family came to the west chamber to congratulate Su Jin.

The eldest aunt, Hong Shi, spoke first, "The days go by so fast. In a blink of an eye, that little milk baby has grown into a big girl, and she is going to get married soon."

The second aunt also took over the conversation, "That's not it, it seems that the little girl who was asking for candy yesterday was sent a betrothal gift in a blink of an eye."

"It's not a big deal, they're all grown up, and we're all old too."

"Jin'er! Look at the fabric, are you satisfied?" Su Caifeng will go back with her husband and son-in-law in a while, so she ran over to ask her niece and daughter at some free time.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen it yet!" Su Jin said shyly.

"It's okay, let's take a look now, it happens that your aunt and aunt are here, let them help to make an idea."

"Well, listen to my sister!"

Su Caifeng was also polite, and opened one of the boxes, and there were several bolts of bright red cloth inside.

The texture of the fabric is fine and smooth, some are made of fine cotton and some are made of silk. Silk is definitely a luxury in this era, just like the Su family, which is considered a well-to-do family in this town.Even if Su Yan is favored again, she doesn't have a silk dress.

Seeing that there were actually two bolts of silk in the Gu family's betrothal gift, it was considered a big deal, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.Su Yan, who had shown disdain just now, now has bright eyes.

Going over, she took the two pieces of fabric into her arms, "What are you doing?" The sister-in-law looked at her blankly.

"I'm rare for this material, so it's mine." As soon as Su Yan said that, everyone looked at her like a monster.

"This is the dowry gift from the Gu family to Jin'er, are you willing to take it?" The aunt looked at Su Yan displeased.

"Then what's the matter, if you send it to the Su family, it belongs to the Su family, why can't I take it?"

Looking at the arrogant Su Yan, the elders present were a bit at a loss as to what to say.

The sister-in-law was not used to her stinking problem, so she grabbed the fabric with her hands, and looked at the eldest niece in front of her with contempt. "When your husband's family is hired, you can arrange it as you like, and you can't take this."

After finishing speaking, my sister took out a bunch of big money from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Xiangqin, "Sister Qin, please go to the grocery store and buy six locks. Come back quickly."

"Hey! I'll go right away." Li Xiangqin pulled Sister Juan and went out.

Seeing her sister-in-law ruin her own good deed, Su Yan poked her neck and glared angrily.

Su Caifeng didn't pay any attention to her, but just looked through all the fabrics, "Jin'er, are you still satisfied?"

To be honest, Su Jin doesn't know much about fabrics, but it's been almost a year since she wore them here. As far as she knows, these fabrics can be considered high-end in Taoxian Town.

"Sister-in-law, it's already very good, I'm very satisfied." Looking at the dignified and decent little niece, Su Caifeng felt extremely regretful.Such a good woman deserves a better man, but she wants to marry that sick guy Gu Chen?What a trick.

"Jin'er, since you're satisfied, let's use the ones sent by the Gu family as wedding dresses! My sister-in-law is going back to take a look. Our new products will arrive in the next two days. If there are suitable ones, my sister-in-law will send you two. I'm going to the embroidery shop next door to see how good their wedding dresses look."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, there is no need to spend money!" "What are you spending, dress up our Jin'er beautifully for marriage, and let them take care of the family to see how beautiful our Jin'er is."

"It's not a big deal, our Jin'er is getting better and better." The second aunt also praised her sincerely.

As everyone was talking, Mrs. Li walked in with Mrs. Chen, and everyone stood up to give Mrs. Chen a seat.

"Mother, have you read carefully?" "Mom, we only looked at the fabric, and haven't looked at anything else!" The girl replied on behalf of the big guy.

"Then open it now, let's all take a good look. Just now, the Gu family was there, and the people were so messy, I couldn't see clearly."

"Good mother!" Li Shi responded, and opened several other boxes in order.

Inside the first box, there was a wooden tray, and on the tray were four five taels of silver ingots, which were 20 taels of betrothal money.

Looking at the 20 taels of dowry, the Su family was doing well, but the eldest aunt and second aunt were speechless, "This Gu family is worthy of being a small landlord. Ordinary families can't afford such a dowry, and ordinary farmers only have two taels."

"I also think that they have paid less for the Gu family, and we Jin'er deserve better."
