The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 64 The Golden Ladder

After opening the box of the door-to-door gift, the two of them were even more happy.

The Lu family is considered to be a semi-literate family. The first layer of the box contains several new books, the second layer is a piece of bright red silk and satin, the third layer is a pair of silver bracelets carved with plum blossoms, and the fourth layer is a plate of lilies. .

Whether it is the meaning or the value of this gift, it shows that the Lu family prepared it with care.

Shopkeeper Chen is shrewd, and he has read books for a few days. He held up the pair of bracelets for a closer look, and couldn't help but feel sour and happy. The plum pattern pattern is really good. After a lot of trouble, now I finally have a good marriage.

After seeing Aunt Peng away, Mrs. Zheng was in a hurry to have someone take the horoscopes of her daughter and Boss Lu to calculate, while shopkeeper Chen took her own account books to calculate the family fortune, and made up her mind to add more points to her daughter's dowry.

The Lu family valued it, and the Chen family had to support their daughter even more.

In the backyard, Chen Yuexian listened to the maid's report with a blushing face, and her heart was as sweet as honey.

That night, Zheng's close wife put the horoscope back together. It is said that it is a rare match made in heaven, and there is a golden ladder to step on.

After hearing the news from the Chen family, Xiaomi still didn't understand what it meant to step on the golden ladder. Fortunately, Aunt Liu was by her side.

"Oh, Xiaomi, this is great joy."

Aunt Liu was overwhelmed with excitement, "The fate of marriages like this is all about wealth, that is to say, when a girl from the Chen family enters the door, life will become more and more prosperous. I remember that the richest daughter-in-law of the Liu family in Fucheng is this Life, the whole family is supporting her like a baby, and the Liu family is indeed getting bigger and bigger business."

Xiaomi doesn't believe this, after all, no matter how good his luck is, if he doesn't work, he won't get money from the sky.

But such festive things, no one too little ah.So, she started to prepare for the dowry again, and made new clothes for the whole family, especially Boss Lu, who made four sets in one go from head to toe.It made Boss Lu feel distressed, so he declined.

But Xiaomi didn't allow him to object, so he simply told him, "Brother, if you want to bring your wife back as soon as possible, just listen to me!"

Boss Lu blushed a lot, but he really listened to his sister's arrangements for everything.

Xiaomi looked helpless, and felt more and more that it would be wise to find a strong wife for this soft-tempered elder brother.

When the corn sticks were seen on the corn seedlings at the foot of the mountain, and the potato field was full of small white flowers, the Lu family's dowry was delivered to the Chen family.

The two families formally settled the marriage, and the auspicious day of marriage was reckoned and reckoned, and it was put on the eighteenth day of the winter month, which was suitable for marriage, and the Bai family's filial piety period came out again.

After the dust settled, Mrs. Zheng finally felt elated, and opened the courtyard door to let in those neighbors who had been scratching their heads with curiosity.

Lu Xiaomi is not a stingy person, and she also thinks that Lu Boss is the eldest son in the family, and Chen Yuexian will be Lu's parents-in-law in the future.

The so-called elder sister-in-law is like a mother, she should be more honorable no matter what.From now on, Lu Lao Er and Lu Lao San will not be hired over Chen Yuexian unless there are special circumstances.

So she took the abacus and counted it for a long time, tossed and fumbled the family property, and finally took out a quarter, which is 300 taels, as a dowry gift.

A full set of red gold jewelry, silk and satin of various colors, dry and fresh, everything is available.

In Dayuan, it has always been that marrying a daughter is more expensive than marrying a daughter-in-law.Generally, when people marry a daughter-in-law, they just need to prepare a dozen taels.Even if you really value the woman, it will not exceed 50 taels.

However, the Lu family's millet came to treat the eldest brother sincerely, and secondly, there was no elder to point it out, so he prepared the dowry gift according to his own wishes, and accidentally became an "upstart" in the hearts of everyone.

Needless to say, the Chen family gained face and gained countless envy and jealousy.

The Lu family has become famous in the village again, but these millets don't know it at all, and neither do the busy people in Laoxiongling.

The two thatched huts in the mountain pass had already been built. On the day of the beam-up, all the villagers gathered together, had a big meal, and set off a few bundles of firecrackers to celebrate.

Now that the doors and windows are installed, the big kang is heated, and the tables and chairs are placed, the two thatched houses will look good.

A young man named Shuisheng lived in the house for a few nights because he guarded the mountain pass, and he joked, "This house is enough for me to marry a wife, not to mention a place for night watch."

Everyone laughed. Xiaomi just came back from the potato field, holding two potatoes the size of a child's fist in his hand. Hearing this, he said, "The workshop will be built soon, and Brother Shuisheng will be able to do it in three to five months. Earning back a brick-roofed house, I'm afraid I won't care about this dilapidated thatched house."

"Xiaomi, why do you want to build a workshop again?"

Everyone was delighted to hear that, after all, they had plenty of strength, as long as the Lu family was not short of wages, they would not be afraid to work.But now the canal is only half built, no one outside the mountain has someone sending stones, almost all the copper coins paid by the Lu family are put in baskets.

If we build a workshop again, I'm worried that the Lu family will take too many steps, and if they can't turn around, it will be troublesome.

"It's okay, I have a plan in mind. I just have to trouble my uncles again!"

"I'm not afraid, my family, even if there is no wages, we can't see you without help."

The villagers are all simple hunters, and their nerves are not much weaker than that of Lu's second son. Xiaomi said there is no need to worry, so they really don't worry.

On the contrary, Xiaomi took the little tail of the first day of the junior high school and turned around the hills on both sides.

Yesterday the Chen family came to pick up the last batch of green vegetables, and sent a message saying that they would send someone to measure two inches, and prepare wooden utensils for dowry.Xiaomi walked around the front and back yards of his house several times, always feeling uncomfortable.

The front yard now lives with Feng Jian's master and servant, Lu's father, Lu's second child, Lu's third child, and a first-year junior high school student.

Boss Lu can't squeeze in the front yard when he gets married, and it's not convenient for his sister-in-law to come in and out on weekdays.

If it were placed in the backyard, she would feel that her territory had been encroached on, and she would even feel like she was a sister-in-law light bulb.

But the Lu family is only this big, no matter how it is arranged, it will not work.

In desperation, Xiaomi took his idea outside.

Earlier, she had thought about buying the entire hilltop of Laoxiongling and operating it as a villa.In this way, it will be convenient to do things in the future, and the workshops and the like are also spacious.

There are thatched cottages built on both sides of the mountain pass, and the younger generations are clamoring to move there for a few days.It can't be said that whoever marries a daughter-in-law in the future can't live in the house, so he really builds a house near the thatched cottage to live separately from the old man.

As time goes on, there are also two small villages.

Since this is the case, why not build two courtyards in the Lu family, and when the eldest brother Lu and the second eldest Lu get married, they will live separately.

For one thing, the two sister-in-laws are definitely comfortable living alone, and their teeth cannot touch their lips, so naturally there is no time to quarrel.Secondly, if we build workshops and grow new crops in the future, we can count ourselves as having our own family.

During the meal, Xiaomi told the family about it.

Boss Lu was distressed that it would cost a lot of money. The second brother Lu was the shopkeeper and never cared about it. The third brother Lu was not at home and had no right to speak.On the contrary, Father Lu agreed very much. He always felt uncomfortable when he thought of living in the same yard with his daughter-in-law in the future.

Now it's not a separation of the son to live directly, what's wrong with it?

So, Boss Lu's objection was ignored by her father and sister, together gorgeously.

The Lu family has been tossing and tossing endlessly since years ago, and everyone in Laoxiongling has gotten used to it, or numb it.

The Lu family guarded Xiaomi, the virgin god of wealth, and there was no worry about lack of money, so they could build whatever they wanted.

But the village people's handicrafts to build thatched houses are still good, and there are still two yards in the second entrance, which is a little bit powerless.

Xiaomi went to Master Zhong for inquiries, but he really found the right person.

The old man's family is famous for digging wells, and he often does work for wealthy families, so he naturally knows many skilled craftsmen.

Old man Zhong went back to his hometown in person, and when he came back the next day, he brought two old men of his age to the mountain pass.

Of the two thatched huts, one was occupied by the descendants of the mountain patrol and the Zhong family, and the other was reserved for guests who could not take it to the mountain.

Xiaomi and Boss Lu met the two masters together, and briefly talked about the usefulness of building a yard at home.The two old men were very steady, and instead of clapping their chests to guarantee the ticket, they gathered together and frowned for a long time to discuss, and finally gave 200 taels for a yard, including artificial wood and stone.

In short, the Lu family took out the money and only waited for the inspection of the yard after two months, and ignored the rest.

Lu Xiaomi shook his head, which made the two old men look bad. One of them glanced at Master Zhong and saw that he didn't intend to speak, so he said, "Miss Lu, we have already reduced the cost to the minimum. We really can't do it anymore. If you enter the courtyard twice, only six beams will cost 60 taels, and there are many pillars, blue bricks and gray tiles, foundation stones, carved doors and windows..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaomi smiled and waved his hands, "Master, you misunderstood, our Lu family can accept the price of 200 taels for a yard. I shook my head because of labor. I want to use my uncle from my village. To be honest, there are many People are a little jealous of us, Laoxiongling, and we don't trust outsiders too much. As long as you two bring reliable people, the rest of the rough work will be done by our own family. What do you think?"

"Ah, so..." The two old masters didn't expect Xiaomi to say that at all, and they didn't know how to communicate, but old man Zhong blamed them, "I told you all on the way, Miss Lu is a benevolent and generous person, you still don't know what to say." Do not believe?"

The two old men blushed a little, and quickly saluted, "We misunderstood the girl."

"You two masters don't need to be so polite, I will bother you two in the future. Except for the matter just now, all the people who do the work here eat together, and our Lu family also provides for your meals. But the only One point, the people you brought into the mountain pass cannot easily go out, is it possible?"

"Yes, yes!"

The Lu family hired handymen and provided meals, saving tens of taels of silver inside and out, and with the face guarantee of old friends, the two old masters naturally agreed with joy.

Xiaomi didn't bother, and directly took 400 taels of silver notes and distributed them to the two.The two wrote a written statement and pressed their fingerprints, and the matter was settled.
