Rebirth of First Daughter

After spring, tie Kui went to school. The teacher of the school was an old scholar. He was over 30 years old and didn't pass the imperial examination. When he realized that the imperial examination was hopeless, he opened this private school.

The farmer's children can't afford to read books, not only because they need to be repaired, but also because they need money for pen, ink, paper and inkstone. For example, tie kuijin's private school costs six taels of silver in a semester.

Hearing that tie Kui was going to live at home, tie Hu angrily said, "aren't you kidding? As soon as you go to school, study hard. Don't worry about the money. Dad can afford it Besides the thirty-five taels of gold, there are more than thirty taels of silver. Now he has land, so he doesn't have to buy food. The money he makes from hunting is enough for tie Kui.

"It's less than a quarter of an hour from home to town, and I won't be late," tiekui said

"With this time, it's better to study more."

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "you can study at home. My father, even if I live at home, I won't delay my lessons. "

Tie Hu can't persuade tie Kui. It's up to him.

Tie Kui not only went home to live, but also took food to school. In this way, Chunxiang gets up to cook before dawn. Fortunately, sir, there is a stove. You can heat the food when it's cold.

Teachers are partial to good students, although tie Kui has been convergence, but his foundation is very good. If you study at will, you will surpass other students.

Today, tie Kui went home early. Put down the book and went to the field. Sure enough, as soon as I got to the field, I saw Chunxiang and Chunni busy.

"Why are you back so early today?" At the beginning, tie Kui went to the school and came back to go to the ground. His father and daughter didn't agree. But the father and daughter were still convinced by tie Kui.

Tie Kui said, "my husband is not well. He gave us two days off." When people eat grain, illness is inevitable. In the private school, there was only an old scholar, who was sick and had to take a holiday.

With these words, tie Kui asked, "where's daddy? Did you go to the fields? " Tiekui goes to school. Chunxiang and Chunni are girls' families. No matter how capable an iron tiger is, it is impossible to grow ten mu of land. So, spring busy time invited people. When we collect food, we have to hire people.

Chunni shook her head and said, "no, I went up the mountain hunting with father Li."

Eh, tie Kui said, "didn't Li Bo say that the mountain is too dangerous to go hunting again?"

Chunni said with a smile: "uncle and aunt said to go up the mountain hunting with Dad, don't worry." In fact, not only Aunt Li, but also their sisters.

The Li family and the tie family both have houses and land. It's good for them to make money by hunting together. The reason why this method doesn't work is that iron tiger has to rely on hunting to support his family. Nowadays, we are not worried about our livelihood, making less money and making more safety.

In the evening, father Li and tie Hu came back with a wild boar of more than 200 Jin. Both of them didn't stop. They carried it to the town and sold it. By midnight, they were back.

The next day, tie Kui asked tie Hu, "Daddy, why did Uncle Li go hunting with you?" It was also because he knew that father Li and his wife were still worried about the days on the mountain and would not go hunting again, so he thought it was very strange.

Tiehu said: "your daughter-in-law is pregnant again. Your uncle and aunt want to save more money for your grandson." For the sake of his children and grandchildren, Uncle Li took up employment again.

Hearing this, tie Kui said: "Dad, it's not your son's daughter-in-law who is jealous. We build houses and land, and then encourage uncle to hunt with you to get a share."

"You child, how can you say that. Don't you know how your uncle and aunt treat us? " Tie Kui is good at everything, but sometimes he always thinks too bad of people.

Tie Kui said: "uncle and aunt are very good to us, but Li Gui and his daughter-in-law are not necessarily good." After several times of contact, I found that Li Gui's daughter-in-law was a person who didn't eat any loss. Li Gui, however, is the one who listens to his daughter-in-law most.

Tiehu explained: "the Li family is going to have another son. Your uncle doesn't have much land, so he wants to make some money to supplement his family."

"Daddy, I have no objection to Uncle Li hunting with you. But if you can't bear it, you can't agree with your son when he says he wants to hunt with you. " Although Uncle Li is older, he has rich hunting experience. He went hunting with Tiehu, but he didn't work hard. But Li Gui went down the mountain seven years ago, and never went up again. And he didn't really learn to hunt. It was a burden to take him with him.

Tiehu nodded with a smile and said, "OK."

After breakfast the next day, Aunt Li came with matchmaker Chen.

Iron Tiger busy let Chunni make tea, and then brought some seasonal fruit with peanuts to greet.

Matchmaker Chen said with a smile: "Shao Yong's daughter-in-law in Dazhang village wanted to marry Chunxiang for her second son, so she asked me to marry her."

Dazhang village is only a quarter of an hour away from the town. Because it is so close to the town, many people will go to do business in the town. Even if they don't do business, they will choose fruits and vegetables to sell. Therefore, the villagers of Dazhang village live a relatively comfortable life.

At present, matchmaker Chen also talked about the situation of the Shao family. Shao Yongjia has 16 mu of farmland and 8 mu of dry land. There are three sons and two daughters in the Shao family. The eldest son is married and has two daughters. Now the second son and the younger son are left: "Shao Yong is a carpenter, and his eldest son also works with him. Shao Yong's daughter-in-law always grows vegetables and sells them in the town. The second son works as a pharmacist in the county. He has a salary of two liang silver a month. The younger son is now studying in the town. " This time for Chunxiang, it's Shao Ji who works as a pharmacist.

Tie Kui asked, "what kind of job does the second son of Shao family do in the drugstore? Do you follow the doctor to learn medicine, or do you work in the drugstore? " There is an essential difference between the two.

Matchmaker Chen didn't expect tie Kui to ask so carefully, but her reputation is not blown out, but accumulated over the years: "it's in the drugstore to help greet the guests."

Iron tiger asked: "how is the child's character?"

Matchmaker Chen said with a smile: "if the character is bad, I dare not come to the door to say it's a kiss. Shao Erlang's character and appearance are all first-class. However, the child has a high vision. He has talked to him a lot in the past two years, but he has not taken a fancy to any of them. He is very anxious about his mother. "

Tiehu said, "why did the Shao family come to propose marriage?" If this Shao family Erlang does not agree, is it not in vain.

Matchmaker Chen said with a smile: "Chunxiang is beautiful and capable. Shao Yong's family has long been interested in Chunxiang. They are afraid that the child won't agree with her. It's also a coincidence that last time he came home from a holiday, he helped his mother carry vegetables to the town to sell. That time qiaochunxiang also went, this is not the child's eye on Chunxiang. So, it's fate. " What Shao Yong's daughter-in-law's early love of Chunxiang, in fact, Shao mechanics himself took a fancy to Chunxiang, and then told his mother.

Shao's mother asks for help. She knows that Chunxiang is dignified and capable. Then the iron family has a house and Tian tiekui goes to study in the town. She agrees.

Iron Tiger is also very moved, but marriage is related to a lifetime, also can't just listen to the matchmaker's one-sided words: "let's consider this matter, we'll reply to you in two days."

Those who attach importance to their daughter will generally inquire about the man's situation by themselves, and then give a reply. Matchmaker Chen said with a smile: "marriage is a matter of life after all. I'll come back in two days." She's sure she'll make it.

When going out, Tiehu gave matchmaker Chen a red envelope. That's the rule. Matchmakers have to work hard to run around. Otherwise, people are trying so hard to get money.

The iron tiger family has just moved down the mountain, and the people in the village are just familiar with it. People from other villages don't understand it at all. So iron tiger asked dashuan's daughter-in-law to help him find out.

Tie Kui said: "Daddy, two days ago, a classmate of mine invited me to his house. I agreed." He has a classmate from Dachang village, and his relationship is not bad. To be exact, he has a good relationship with all his classmates. Not because of good study, eyes above the top. This time, in the name of going to the classmate's house, I want to inquire about the situation of the Shao family. It would be better to see Shao er.

Shao Er didn't see it, but the Shao family's condition is really good as the matchmaker said.

Tie Kui said: "Daddy, Shao Er has a good reputation in Dachang village. But Shao's mother and Shao's eldest daughter-in-law are very shrewd. I'm afraid the eldest sister will be angry if she marries Shao's family. "

"Smart is not afraid, as long as reasonable." With that, tie Hu sighed: "kuizi, we choose others, but they also choose us. It's a good choice. Choose a good day to let him come. It will be as good as the matchmaker said. Let's settle down! " Jin's divorce had affected Chunxiang's marriage. In addition, many people believe that women follow their mothers. Kim always likes to take things from her husband's family to supplement her mother's family. People also worry that Chunxiang and Chunni will always supplement her mother's family.

Fortunately, the iron family now has a field and a house, and the iron tiger is fierce in hunting. Otherwise, Shao's mother would not agree with the marriage.

Tie Kui heard the words and didn't speak any more.

When the matchmaker got the word, she went to the Shao family to report the good news. Two said a day, Chen matchmaker will Shao mother and Shao mechanics two people brought over.

Shao's appearance is very common, which can't be found in the pile. It doesn't go with the matchmaker's saying that she looks outstanding. But he's very smart, and he's good at things. This is also normal. If you are not smart, you can't do the job of greeting guests.

Iron tiger asked Shao mechanics some questions, and got a satisfactory answer.

Matchmaker Chen has been saying good things.

Looking at tie Hu's look, tie Kui knew his attitude, and then asked: "after all, this job in the pharmacy is not a long-term solution. I don't know what Shao Er Ge plans to do in the future?" Other people think that it's a very proud thing to be able to find a job in the county and have two liang silver every month. Unfortunately, tie Kui is not included in these people.

Shao's mother was displeased when she heard this. Listening to this tone, I don't think my son is a man. There are a few people in these ten li eight townships who can earn two liang silver a month.

Before she came, the matchmaker told Shao Li that tie Kui had a strong voice at home. If he can't make tie Kui satisfied, even if tie Hu and Chun Xiang fall in love with him, it's useless.

Shao said: "in the past two years, I have been learning how to identify medicinal materials and how to process them. In the future, you may grow your own herbs, or you may collect herbs and make them yourself. " He also knows that this work can not be done all the time, so he is also thinking about the way out.

Tie Kui asked this mainly to see if Shao had any plans for the future. If we go step by step, he will definitely not agree with the marriage. Fortunately, Shao's performance satisfied him.

Tie Kui nodded and said: "since Shao Er Ge is working in a drugstore, he should know that it is very harmful for women to get married too early and have children."

Hearing this, Shao's mother's face sank immediately. What does that mean? It's true that the iron family plans to keep this spring fragrance until they are 20 years old.

Shao Li's idea is completely different from Shao's mother. He is very surprised that tie Kui even knows this: "yes. The doctor of our drugstore said that it is easy for women to give birth too early to cause dystocia. "

Tie Kui said a word and didn't speak any more.

Shao mother excuse home still have something to do, lunch did not stay with Shao mechanics back.

Iron Tiger is not without eyes, looking at Shao's mother's appearance, we know that the marriage may be ruined: "you child, what's the meaning of women getting married too early. The girls in this village don't marry at the age of 16 or 17. "

Tie Kui said with a smile: "Dad, we can't manage other families. The elder sister must be at least 16 years old to get married. My father, I'm not a liar. The girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, and she hasn't fully grown. It's really dangerous to have a baby. "

According to his idea, at least Chunxiang will have to wait until she turns 17. However, he also knew that if he really kept Chunxiang until he was seventeen or eighteen, he would be afraid of frightening people who would come to talk with him.

As soon as Shao's mother went out, she said to Shao, "second, let's forget about the marriage." According to Shao's mother, the iron family should be flattered by them. As a result, this is not the case at all. Not only was his attitude cold, but he also put forward such harsh conditions.

Shao Li knows Shao's mother's mind, but he is very satisfied with the marriage. Tie Kui, in particular, has a long-term mind. My brother-in-law is sure to be promising in the future.

Even if Shao's mother was not satisfied, she couldn't get over it. Shao finally asked matchmaker Chen to come to the door.

At the time of engagement, the Shao family gave the bride price.

Tie Kui thinks that the dowry given by the Shao family is too shabby. He says that he wants the Shao family to add eight Liang silver to the dowry, otherwise the marriage will be over. Tie Kui and matchmaker Chen said, "we don't want any betrothal gifts. We'll give our eldest sister a dowry at that time." The problem is that the silver is used as a dowry, even if it is married back, it belongs to Chunxiang's private property.

With the economic ability of the Shao family, the dowry is really a little less. As a middleman, matchmaker Chen can't say which side is not good: "Cheng, I'm going to talk to the Shao family."

When Shao Li heard her mother say that the lion of the iron family wanted a large amount of betrothal gifts to sell his daughter, he didn't believe it at all. If the iron family is really a lion to sell her daughter, Chunxiang will not wear such good clothes and silver jewelry.

When he knew that the dowry he sent only cost two liang silver, Shao Li's face was very gloomy: "the dowry for my sister-in-law is more than ten Liang. When I marry my daughter-in-law, the dowry is only two or two? " The problem is that he goes home with half his salary every month. Since I went out to work at the age of ten, I have taken at least forty Liang silver back. As a result, the bride price for his future daughter-in-law was only two or two.

It was also this time that Shao Ji was on the alert. I didn't tell my family about the salary increase.
