Chapter 2500 dowry

At the end of September, Thursday Lang and Xiang Mingxue returned with the caravan.

He took off the dog skin cap on his head and said to them, "It's snowing in the north, and the weather here in Beijing is better."

It is enough to wear a jacket in the capital at this time.

This year, he went late, so he brought back fewer items than in previous years, but he also has his own regular customers, so the speed of sales, exchanges and purchases is fairly fast.

If he hadn't rushed back to attend Man Bao's wedding, he would have stayed for a while longer.

He looked left and right and asked, "Why didn't the eldest sister come to Beijing? She was very excited to come to Beijing when I went to Beijing."

Man Bao said, "She is pregnant."

"Yo," Chuu Lang raised his voice and said in surprise: "This is good, only one child is still a little thin, and another one will have company later."

Man Bao said: "Father and mother are thinking of going home this year to see, then you will take them back."

Thursday Lang said that there was no problem, and asked, "Are the elder brother and elder sister-in-law going back?"

"If they don't come back, the second brother and the second sister-in-law will also stay for Liwei to get married."

Zhou Liwei's engagement with the eldest daughter of Mr. Lan's family in Zhou Li's school was one of the most proud things that Zhou Liwei was most proud of when he came to the capital last time.

When Man Bao came back, the marriage had already been decided, and the matter was still heard from Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu. She had seen the little girl twice, and she was about the same age as her, um, only less than a year old, she looked very shy a girl.

But she wasn't shy at all.

I heard that Mr. Lan was interested in Zhou Lixue at first. After all, Zhou Lixue was studying in the school, right?

But the girl looked at Zhou Liwei, and Zhou Lixue was only focused on making money by copying books and studying for imperial examinations. He didn't really want to get married, um, not now.

So Mr. Lan could only hold back, and the Zhou family also came to propose marriage for Zhou Liwei, so he reluctantly agreed.

When Zhou Lixue and the others first entered the school, they were often isolated and bullied because they were outsiders and spoke with a Shu accent.

However, the three of them went to school together, so they can become a small group by themselves.

But after a long time, I couldn't hold back a few times. Several boys fought in the school. That year, it happened that Zhou Lizhong went to the north with Zhou Lizhong, and Zhou Liwei who stayed behind was in charge of them. Friday Lang and Saturday Lang went there twice, and have been frequent since then.

Give them something to eat at noon, or occasionally call them when they pass by. Those students bully the soft and fear the hard. Knowing that their family runs a restaurant on the other side of the same street, they don't dare to provoke them.

And when Zhou Liwei occasionally gave them food, he would also give it to the gentleman in the academy. Occasionally, he would meet Mrs. Lan who also went to deliver meals to Mr. Lan. After going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other...

Later, when Xiao Qian went to Beijing, the steamed pork she made was delicious, and the restaurant would take out the steamed steamed pork with noodles.

Mr. Lan also likes to eat, so Mrs. Lan will buy it from time to time, and the two will become more familiar with each other.

When Mr. Lan showed that Zhou Lixue's knowledge and character were okay, and when he could be recruited as a son-in-law, Mrs. Lan quietly told her mother that Zhou Lixue was good, but she was interested in Zhou Lixue's brother.

Zhou Liwei is not too young, and Tuesday Lang thought about taking advantage of this time in the capital to do it together, but it's not counted yet.

In fact, the number of exchanges between the capital and Qili Village has increased, and they feel that the two places seem to be not very far apart.

Mainly because they have their own car.

Horse-drawn carts, um, no, but they have mule carts, donkey carts, ox carts, and especially mule carts, which they think are no worse than horse-drawn carts.

It is very convenient to have a car. If you go out more often, you will feel that you are staying in an inn, and there is nothing to hurry on.

Once or twice without experience, I can’t make it to the dormitory, so I have to sleep outside, but after the third time, unless I encounter an accident, I can live in a place I am familiar with, so I don’t feel uncomfortable. .

Thursday Lang is very accustomed to going out now. After he finished eating, he put down the bowl and wiped his mouth: "By the way, Lord Yang knows that you are going to get married, so let me bring you two boxes of gifts, one box is for you. , a box is for Bai Shan."

Man Bao was happy, "Where is it?"

Thursday Lang led her to see, the box was opened, and inside her there were exquisite fabrics, a set of colored glass tea sets, and a set of jade jewelry.

Man Bao was stunned, "It's so precious."

Thursday Lang said: "I said it was for you to add a box."

Man Bao looked at Bai Shan's box and wanted to open it, but Bai Shan was not there, so she held back, um, wait until he comes back from overtime to look at it.

Man Bao asked Xibing and Jiulan to take the things back to her room and put them away.

Time passed quickly, and Man Bao and Bai Shan took marriage leave together at the fifth o'clock.

Yes, officials in Dajin have marriage leave, up to nine days.

Both Man Bao and Bai Shan took nine days of vacation, including the two ten-day holidays in between, and they had a total of eleven days of vacation.

Bai Shan's family moved from Zhou's house to Changqing Lane, and on the sixth day of the sixth day, they went to give dowry gifts.

Bai Shan invited Bai Dalang, Bai Erlang, Yin or Liu Huan and others to be his relatives and friends in the escort team.

Liu Huan, who was already on duty, happily took a leave of absence and ran to join in the fun. He followed the gongs and drums to carry the dowry around the inner city and then deliver it to Zhou's house.

Many people in Chongyuanfang stood at the door to watch the fun, of course, the servants watched the fun, and the masters waited behind to listen to the report.

There were only one or two naughty ones, so they couldn't help leaning on the wall of their house and looking out, watching the betrothal gifts being sent to Zhou's house one after another, and couldn't help but stunned, "I saw at least the four-pitch house just now, the Bai family is so rich?"

If there is a house in the dowry, then put a model of a small house on the burden, and press the deed under it. When it arrives at the woman's house, it will belong to the woman. The woman's parents can choose to keep it or send it back as the bride's dowry. .

The old Zhoutou happily walked around the dowry, and then led someone to replace the happy word on it with the seal of their Zhou family, and then left some things for the meaning, and the rest was recorded on the dowry list intact. As Man Bao's dowry.

Old Zhoutou walked around and left two pieces of silver, one for him, one for Qian, and two pieces of cloth, all one for each person, even if he left something.

Old Zhou Tou sighed while sitting among the piles of dowry.

Zhou Dalang and the others brought a model of a small house and set it up, and when they saw it, they asked, "Father, the deed of this house has to be pressed, or else I'll forget it later."

The old Zhoutou said: "What's the hurry, there is still one more day, and I will press it again tomorrow. What should I do now if it is stolen?"

Zhou Dalang: ...Who would come here to steal something? Stealing is still the deed, it is better to steal money and fabrics.

No, no one will steal anything at all, okay?
