Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 241 Caring people

Chapter 240 Third

He Lanshan told Mrs. Xiang about the 12 taels of bride price, and then it would be passed from Mrs. Xiang to Matchmaker Wang, and finally to the Song family.

If it wasn't for the year-end friendship with Mrs. Xiang, and Mrs. Xiang knew who He Lanshan's grandparents were, He Lanshan would feel ashamed, and the 12 taels of betrothal gift is not low!
On the second day after finishing speaking, a young man stood in front of He Lanshan's house.

This person was Song Wenlong. He kept touching his bosom with both hands, touching it every once in a while, for fear that others would not know what valuable things he held in his bosom.

After knocking on the door for a while, He Lanshan opened the door for him. Zhao Shuangxi was still making fried frogs this early in the morning.

"Uncle Song, what's the matter with you?" He Lanshan originally wanted to call her eldest brother, but after thinking about it for a while, Song Wenlong might become her uncle. Calling him elder brother seems to be inferior to him.

"I, I came here for a marriage..." Song Wenlong blushed when he said that. He was not white, but his face was so red that he could bleed.

He Lanshan found it interesting to see him like this, just like Peach Blossom.

Could it be that people in the Great Xia Dynasty would become shy when they got married, and suddenly a handsome face appeared in their minds, exactly like Gu Liuyun. If he was talking about marriage, would his earlobes turn red?

Immediately, He Lanshan thought it was impossible, Gu Liuyun was thick-skinned.

Seeing Song Wenlong's eyes kept looking into the room, He Lanshan said: "My sister-in-law doesn't live here, she lives in another place with my grandma, how about I ask my mother to take you there?"

"No, I'll go in and talk to my second sister-in-law." Song Wenlong buried his head in the ground after finishing speaking.

As for being so shy?He Lanshan was still surprised, and suddenly thought of what Song Wenlong called her mother, she wanted to give him a thumbs up, this is a master.

He Lanshan brought Song Wenlong into the house, just as Zhao Shuangxi finished frying a pot of deep-fried frogs, and came out smelling delicious.

She was also surprised when she saw Song Wenlong, before she could speak, she saw Song Wenlong took out from her arms the treasure that he had been touching when he was standing outside.

It was something wrapped in a piece of red cloth. Seeing him remove the red cloth layer by layer, it was a pile of small pieces of silver, "I know the bride price is 12 taels, but, but my whole family only made up [-] taels." Seven qian silver, there is still more than one tael short, I will go, I will make up, can you wait for me for a while?"

"Eh, since this is a bride price, why didn't your parents come?" He Lanshan felt strange.

"My parents said it's my own business, so let me do it myself." As Song Wenlong said, he lowered his head again. He Lanshan was short and stood low, and he saw the embarrassment in his eyes.

She almost knew it, maybe Song Wenlong's parents thought the bride price was too expensive, but seeing that their son liked the girl again, they let him come here by himself.

Zhao Shuangxi also noticed that the Song family's wealth was already here. Otherwise, apart from the 12 taels of silver, they would also need cakes, fruit and wine. Now there is nothing but silver, and the silver is not enough.

"You can leave it to us at ease, and there is no one to witness, so you are not afraid that we will be ignorant?" He Lanshan asked with a wicked smile on her face, wanting to deliberately tease her little uncle.

Song Wenlong shook his head like a rattle, and said in a low voice: "My mother went to inquire, and the people in the market said that you are very honest, and you are never short of money when doing business."

This was too sincere, He Lanshan couldn't help but smile.

She looked at Zhao Shuangxi, and it was up to her mother whether she would accept the ten taels or seven.

Sister-in-law wanted to marry Song Wenlong, so naturally she didn't care about the shortfall of one tael of silver, and old man He killed another 12 taels of silver, so the shortfall might have to be made up by herself.

"Okay, then I'll take it." Zhao Shuangxi took the money.

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law, thank you Second Sister-in-law, I will definitely raise enough money." Song Wenlong parted his lips and smiled happily, showing a row of big white teeth.

"Slow down, slow down."

"Hey hey."

When He Jinyi came back from work in the evening, Zhao Shuangxi held the money Song Wenlong sent to him, and she said, "It's all odds and ends. I weighed it and it was ten taels or seven."

"Father, you won't help my sister-in-law." He Lanshan said while pulling He Jinyi's arm.

"Why don't I help you, little girl, as long as you and your mother agree. In fact, before my father married your mother, I was still an apprentice in the accountant. At that time, I ate every day when I went home. If you don’t have enough food, your sister-in-law will leave me the white flour steamed buns that your grandma made for him every day..."

When He Jinyi told the story of the past, the corners of He Lanshan's eyes became moist when he heard it. This is the real brother-sister relationship, which can be remembered for a lifetime.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zhao Shuangxi feigned anger, and smashed his fist on He Jinyi's shoulder in dissatisfaction.

"At that time, I didn't want you to know that my parents treated me so badly. Maybe I was avoiding the fact that my parents treated me badly." He Jinyi also sighed when he said it.

But no matter how he tries to be a filial son, he still can't get the love from his parents.

Just like now, although Mrs. He is thinking of him, she will not treat his children better than He Qinhua and Qinzheng.

"Father, since sister-in-law treats you so well, isn't it enough for us to just make up for this two taels of silver?" He Lanshan blinked, and the old house of the He family had been emptied by He Laosan.

"The two taels of silver are not made up, but temporarily lent to Song Wenlong." He Jinyi's eyes revealed wisdom.

As for the banquet next to him, he wasn't worried at all, Mrs. He had already saved money for Taohua, and Mrs. He had always been a very good mother to Mrs. He and Taohua.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Song Wenlong arrived refreshed with the remaining one, two or three coins.

Zhao Shuangxi asked him to take it back for a wedding reception or to buy things in the new house and gave him an extra seven taels of silver. Under He Jinyi's instructions, He Lanshan asked him to write an IOU, which happened to be two taels of silver.

He Lanshan used some ingenious tricks to deliver this bride price to old man He, and naturally entrusted the village chief to deliver it. Old man He disliked that there was only money and nothing else, so he asked the village chief to educate him for a while.

As for the Song family, they were worried that they would raise prices on the ground or something else, and the auspicious day they picked was also very close. It was just the day before the beginning of autumn, and this day arrived in the blink of an eye.

He Jinyi's family also made an exception and entered Mrs. He's house in the county seat.

"Yo, it's really a rare visitor, what about the gift? Didn't you come here to eat and drink for free?" As soon as he stepped in, Hu stopped the door to receive the gift, and he looked at He Lanshan and the whole family with a face, and didn't care. One person was holding something in his hand, she immediately glared and grinned, ready to scold.
