Chapter 127: Saving a Dowry for My Daughter

In the box, Yang Zhengshan looked at the delicacies that were served, stroking his beard and nodded slightly.

Although I haven't tasted it yet, the aroma is still very tempting.

"grandfather!"

Yang Qingwan looked at Yang Zhengshan and blinked her big eyes, as if she was saying I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat.

Next to him, Yang Chengye stared at the braised fish in front of him, twitching his little nose from time to time.

As for Wang Mingzhe, this kid is still sleeping soundly.

Yang Zhengshan didn't say anything, and the two little guys didn't dare to move their chopsticks. This was the rule.

"Eat!" Yang Zhengshan smiled, picked up a piece of fried bean sprouts with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

It tastes pretty good!

This Fuyun Restaurant is worthy of its name and is worthy of being the number one restaurant in the city.

But the price is a bit scary.

A plate of bean sprouts actually costs four coins.

This is not bean sprouts, this is money!

But then again, it’s expensive for its own sake.

Bean sprouts are easy to grow, but bean sprouts in winter are not easy to grow.

There are no greenhouses here, only large families can build some greenhouses, and the greenhouses rely entirely on burning firewood and charcoal to ensure the temperature.

Needless to say, the cost of building a greenhouse is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If you calculate the cost, it is not incomprehensible that this plate of bean sprouts costs four taels of silver.

"Can I also grow some vegetables in the Lingquan space?"

Yang Zhengshan was thinking about it in his heart while eating.

But he soon gave up this idea. He was not a vegetable farmer and did not have so much time and energy to take care of a vegetable field.

The key is that it's hard to explain.

In order to satisfy his appetite, Yang Zhengshan felt that it was not worth it to do such troublesome things.

The two little guys ate very happily. The Yang family's food was not bad, but it was not luxurious. The meals everyone ate on weekdays were ordinary meals, which were definitely not as good as those in Fuyunlou.

It was rare for the two little guys to go out to eat once, so Yang Zhengshan naturally couldn't be stingy.

"How do you like it? Whichever one is delicious, I want another one!"

"Uh. Grandpa, no need, I'm full!" Yang Qingwan patted her round belly and said with a burp.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and looked a little embarrassed.

It seems like he did something wrong.

Children should not eat too much, as eating too much can easily lead to food accumulation. Judging from the look of this little girl, it is very likely that she has eaten too much.

This is also his fault. Although he has three grandchildren and one granddaughter, he rarely takes care of his children.

In the past, everyone would take care of whose children they had. Later, after having servants, the mother-in-law and maids helped to take care of them, and he only occasionally got close to the children and had no idea how to take care of them.

Today is the first time he takes the children out to play.

After this meal, the two children will have enough food to eat. This is really true!

Yang Zhengshan quickly picked up the little girl and asked, "Are you full?"

"Why are you such a greedy girl!"

He gently rubbed the little girl's belly.

"Grandpa, it's delicious!" Yang Qingwan said cutely.

Yang Zhengshan was helpless.

This belly is really stretched out and round.

"Let's go, grandpa will take you out for a walk!"

Let’s digest the food first, otherwise it will definitely be uncomfortable when we go back.

"Wu Hai!"

"Master! I'm here!" Wu Hai walked in from the door.

"You watch Mingzhe here, wait for him to wake up and let him eat something by himself!" Yang Zhengshan looked at Wang Mingzhe who was sleeping on two chairs, and felt that his brain hurt a little.

None of these dolls are worry-free.

One didn't get enough sleep, one was overeating, and the other was about to sneak out.

"Grandpa, come on, let's go over there and have a look!" Yang Chengye had already run out of the box door.

Yang Zhengshan quickly followed with the little girl in his arms.

Just as Yang Chengye was running down the stairs, someone happened to come up from downstairs and bumped into Yang Chengye.

"Ouch!"

The kid didn't look around and bumped into the man's leg. He lost his balance and sat directly on the stairs.

"Little guy, you hit me!"

Yang Chengye stood up quickly and said, "Sorry, it was Xiao'er Wuzhuang who hit Madam!"

Although Yang Chengye is young, he is a child who understands etiquette.

The person he hit was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She was wearing a blue embroidered cotton-padded jacket, a red fox fur, and a woman's bun on her head. Wearing a silver hairpin with beads and flowers, there were two nuns and two maids following behind her.

Seeing that Yang Chengye apologized, the woman stopped pestering him. She just said, "There are many people here, don't run around." Then she went upstairs.

When she went upstairs, Yang Zhengshan was standing at the top of the stairs.

Yang Zhengshan took a step back and gave way.

"You naughty boy is rude, please forgive me, madam!"

My eldest grandson bumped into someone, so as a parent, I naturally want to apologize.

The woman looked at Yang Zhengshan and was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Senior, you're welcome, it's just a small matter, no need to worry about it!"

After saying that, she turned around and entered the box on the left.

Yang Zhengshan didn't pay attention to this small episode and caught up with Yang Chengye and held him in his arms.

"If you dare to run around again, go back and copy the Three Character Sutra ten times!"

Five-year-old Yang Chengye has already begun to enlighten. When he was in Yinghe Fort, he followed Lin Zhan to school. After coming to Anyuan Prefecture City, he also followed Lin Zhan to study and enlightenment.

"Ah!" Yang Chengye was startled, "Grandpa, I won't run around anymore! I know I'm wrong!"

Copying books is the punishment that this kid fears the most.

Yang Zhengshan didn't punish him to copy books, but Wang often punished him.

"It's good that you know you're wrong!"

Yang Zhengshan didn't really want to punish him, he just wanted to scare him.

Then he dragged a baby in one hand and walked out of the restaurant.

Just as they walked out of the restaurant, the woman on the second floor looked at his back.

"Who is this person?" The woman asked softly.

The nanny behind him shook her head slightly and said, "It seems that he is not from the state capital. The old slave has never seen this person."

"Can you see his cultivation?" The woman continued to ask.

"I can't see it, but this person is full of energy and extraordinary momentum. He even faintly reveals a strong murderous aura. He may be a battlefield general!" said the nanny.

If the warriors don't fight, it is difficult to see the cultivation of a stranger.

However, there are many differences between powerful warriors and low-level warriors, and some clues can be seen in every move.

And murderous aura, which cannot be seen or touched, is real.

Some warriors with keen senses can still feel it.

As a military officer, Yang Zhengshan has been on the battlefield several times, and hundreds of people have died under his gun. Naturally, he has a murderous aura that is difficult to conceal.

The woman looked at the door of the restaurant and turned back to the box.

"Go and see who this person is!"

"Yes!" The nanny responded and left the box.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan had already led the two little guys to stroll on the street.

They first went to a bookstore, where Yang Zhengshan bought some books on military tactics and martial arts.

Then they went to a jewelry store. The little girl was not big, but she already knew how to love beauty. Yang Zhengshan bought her some pearl hair flowers.

By the way, he also bought some for Yang Yunxue and Wang Yunqiao.

A child without a mother is a weed. Although Yang Yunxue and Wang Yunqiao cannot be said to be weeds, they still lack some care in some things.

Yang Zhengshan, as a father and a master, naturally cannot take them to the jewelry store often. Although Wang is the eldest sister-in-law, it is impossible for her to take care of her sister-in-law in every possible way.

It is rare to come to a jewelry store, Yang Zhengshan must not forget his daughter and apprentice.

Looking at all kinds of jewelry, Yang Zhengshan suddenly remembered one thing.

That is to save up a dowry for his daughter!

Here, the dowries of wealthy families are saved up since childhood.

It is difficult to buy all the gold and silver jewelry, various gems, pearls, jade, etc. at one time.

Ordinary official ladies have to have at least 64 loads of dowry. If they are from an official family, they may have to have 128 loads, in addition to land, shops, houses, etc.

In the past, the Yang family was a farmer, so they naturally did not need to consider these.

But now the Yang family is also an official family. Yang Yunxue must pay attention to the marriage when she gets married, and the dowry must not be less.

Dowry is a daughter's face and her confidence in her husband's family.

Yang Yunxue will be thirteen this year, and she is at the age of marriage. Even if she gets married at the age of sixteen, she should start preparing the dowry.

"Save a dowry for my daughter!"

Yang Zhengshan found this very interesting.

He looked at the jewelry on the counter, thought about it, and asked the shopkeeper: "Do you have gems here?"

"Yes, what gems do you want? We have rubies, sapphires, lapis lazuli, crystals, etc." The shopkeeper replied enthusiastically.

"Rubies!" Yang Zhengshan said.

The shopkeeper didn't waste any words and directly took a plate of rubies from Lijian.

There were actually two thumb-sized rubies among them.

"How much silver are these two?"

"Eighty taels!" The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The guest can also customize jewelry in our store."

Yang Zhengshan looked at the rubies in the wooden plate and scratched his head.

He didn't know much about the jewelry here. Zhou Lan had sent some head ornaments to the Yang family before. The head ornaments included hairpins, hairpins, pendants and more than a dozen other jewelry. He couldn't even name the jewelry.

But it didn't matter if he didn't know. Isn't there a professional in front of him?

Then, he customized a set of ruby ​​head ornaments under the recommendation of the shopkeeper.

More than a dozen pieces of jewelry were all inlaid with rubies, five hundred and eighty taels of silver!

When he heard this number, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but smack his lips.

Sure enough, no matter where you go, women's money is the easiest to make.

A set of jewelry actually costs five hundred and eighty taels of silver, and the key is that this is not the most expensive.

Anyuan Prefecture City is just a prefecture city. The jewelry that the jewelry shops here can make is definitely not the most high-end jewelry of Dayong.

Just when Yang Zhengshan was shopping with his children, Wei Cen stood respectfully in front of Lu Hua in a separate courtyard in Chongshan Pass.

Lu Hua looked extremely luxurious in a moon-white long gown. He leaned on the soft couch and looked at the book in his hand with a calm face.

Wei Cen stood in front of him and recounted the process of meeting Yang Zhengshan and what Yang Zhengshan said in detail.

"I did not do my job well, please punish me!"

After he finished speaking, he knelt down and apologized.

"It is true that I did not do my job well, but it is not your fault. I underestimated this Lord Yang!" Lu Hua said calmly while flipping the pages of the book.

Wei Cen knelt on the ground silently.

"Is his cultivation higher than yours?" Lu Hua asked again.

"I don't know, but I feel that he is very dangerous!" Wei Cen said.

"Hehe~~" Lu Hua chuckled and closed the book in his hand. On the cover of the book, there were four big characters written: "Training Records".

"Miss Zhou has found a great talent!"

"He is good at training soldiers, knows military tactics, dares to meet the enemy, and has the talent for governance. Well, his strength is not weak!"

"If this person's origin is not innocent, I would suspect that he has ulterior motives!"

Lu Hua said slowly.

He seemed to be talking to Wei Cen, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"Since he wants to know, then tell him!"

Lu Hua sat up and looked at Wei Cen, "If you don't do things well, you should be punished. You should be punished to cooperate with him. You can tell him whatever he wants to know and cooperate with him in whatever he wants to do!"

"Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Wei Cen breathed a sigh of relief.

If you don't do things well, you should be punished. This is Lu Hua's rule.

If you say it's his own fault, then you are fooling you. If you really think so, then you are in trouble.

Wei Cen knew the admiral's temper very well. He knew that Lu Hua would definitely punish him, so he knelt on the ground and didn't get up.

Fortunately, Lu Hua didn't get angry, and this punishment was not a punishment, at most it was an assignment.

As for cooperating with Yang Zhengshan, the word "can" cannot be understood literally. There is a prerequisite before "can", that is, it cannot violate the rules of the Secret Weapon Guard.
