After checking the horoscopes first, it looked like good luck, and the Hu family was very happy.
Even if it is just for comfort, I feel that although the bride is a bit tough, she can't overcome her husband's family.
Then the Hu family invited a matchmaker to formally propose marriage, and the He family agreed with a smile.
The matchmaker was a relative of the Hu family, whose maiden name was Feng.
Mrs.
Feng praised the three girls as if they were flowers, and praised Mrs.
He and Mrs.
Shen very much.
Mrs.
Feng said, "Your girls, let's get married."
Countless wives and grandmothers are there.
If you really know how to treat people, why would you treat a girl like a squid?
As soon as I saw your cousin, I fell in love with her.
She is a perfect match for my Awen.
The two children are so talented and beautiful, they are a perfect match. " After the matchmaker proposes marriage, it is acceptance.
The man presented jewelry and silk, and the woman responded with pen, ink, and needlework.
Asking for the name Naji after receiving the lottery is relatively simple, but it is just a formality.
Since the horoscope has been combined long ago, it is no longer unlucky.
The next step is to accept the levy, which means giving the betrothal gift.
Hu Wen urged her, and besides, the family had a routine, so the betrothal gift could be prepared quickly.
Although the Hu family is one of the most prominent families in Bishui County, they have a large number of grandchildren, and the betrothal gifts are very generous for the He family, but there is still a certain gap compared to the wealthy Chen family.
Of course, the Hu family's betrothal gift included something elegant.
In addition to the customary items, the Hu family's betrothal gift included five hundred taels of betrothal money.
In fact, the betrothal gift for the engagement is given by the man, and the woman has to return the gift, either half of the betrothal gift from the man, or bring her own gift.
After the family discussed it, they returned half of the man's betrothal gift.
Of course, half of the jewelry given to the woman as a betrothal gift does not need to be repaid, but half of the other tea, fruit, candy, rice, and the bride price must be repaid.
Madam He didn't feel too distressed about the tea and fruits.
What she felt distressed about was the two hundred and fifty taels of silver.
However, her son and daughter-in-law tried to persuade her that although her family was not as good as the Hu family, it was not easy for her to have a reputation of being greedy for money.
Mrs.
He could only nod her head like she was cutting meat, and chatted privately with the third girl, "Your uncle and your aunt are all stupid and want to save face.
With these two hundred and fifty taels, I can buy you a lot of dowry."
The third girl advised He Lao Niang, "Auntie, with the remaining money, you can also buy a good dowry."
The third girl never thought that she could use hundreds of taels to buy a dowry.
Of course, even with the money now, the third girl is not the temperament of Mrs.
He.
It's not that the third girl is aloof and doesn't care about money, it's that the third girl feels that although her family is not rich, the Hu family should not look down upon this woman's return gift.
If they really left five hundred taels of silver, even if the Hu family didn't say anything, they wouldn't know what they were thinking.
What's more, Chen Erniu has chosen the third young master of the Hu family, who will definitely go out earlier than her.
Her dowry, even if the five hundred taels were used up, was incomparable to Chen Erniu's dowry.
In this case, it is better to be honest and not be greedy for the money, so as to leave a good impression on the Hu family.
What's more, the third girl has been able to earn money by working on her own since she was a child.
Two hundred and fifty taels is a huge sum of money in her eyes, but she doesn't believe that she will not be able to earn this money in the future.
Therefore, the third girl was not obsessed with the bride price, and she also agreed with her cousin's approach.
Even with the comfort of the three girls, He Lao Niang sighed all day long.

The reason why he only sighed all day was because Hu Wen secretly took the silver back to He's house the next day.
He said to Lao Niang He, "I am."
It's just for my sister.
Other brothers also have this money.
You always return it to do something else.
What's for my sister is not just for me.
Let her buy some things she likes. " Mrs.
He immediately smiled happily and said to Mrs.
Shen, "We, Awen, can live a good life at a glance."
Then she ordered Aunt Yu to collect the money and said to Hu Wen, "I want to buy some land for the third girl, so that you can live your life in the future.
There is also a future.
Don't underestimate the land, it will only make a small fortune."
Hu Wen flattered Mrs.
He with a smile, "My aunt is still knowledgeable."
In fact, it was not a bad thing that the He family returned half of the bride price.
At least his grandmother said, "They are really an honest family."
At least they are not blind to money.
Yes, I still gave the money to my grandson, Mrs.
Hu Tai Dao said, "His family returned half of the bride price, which shows that they are polite.
Miss Jiang's family is not very wealthy.
Let's tell the truth.
It is common for men to use the bride price for dowry.
Give her this money quietly and ask her to take it.
Buy a dowry so that you can get married in a dignified way. " Hu Wen then sent it back to the He family.
It has to be said that Hu Wen's move was in line with He's mother's wishes.
He called her a fan at that time, and even praised Hu Wen's hairstyle, clothes, etc., making the young man Hu feel a little shy when he praised her.
Back.
After the wedding ceremony, the Hu family went to Chaoyun Temple to divine the auspicious day for their marriage.
Since Hu Wen was only fifteen years old and still in school, they set the date of marriage on the twelfth lunar month of the coming year.
The Hu family has to prepare the yard where Hu Wen will get married, and the He family has to start preparing the dowry for the third girl.
With the five hundred taels given by the Hu family, the He family breathed a sigh of relief.
Dowry is a trivial matter, especially for wealthy families.
Not only large items such as furniture, but also small items such as rouge and gouache must be prepared.
For this reason, Mrs.
He took Mrs.
Shen to the Chen family for advice.
Now that the three girls have a better marriage, He Lao Niang feels very proud.
Aunt Chen was extremely happy when she heard that the third girl had settled in the Hu family.
She smiled and said, "This means that our second girl is not only a sister but also a sister-in-law."
Grandma Chen hurriedly helped Mrs.
He sit down and smiled, "Auntie has something to do, please come over and say something.
I'll be there.
Why bother you and your siblings coming all the way here?"
Madam He smiled, "You are so busy with things, you can't spare your time."
"Auntie is making fun of me."

Grandma Chen took the tea back and inquired with a smile, "My aunt has kept this matter of the third girl a secret.
I wish I knew earlier and went over to congratulate my aunt early in the morning."
"It hasn't been decided yet, so how can we talk about it outside.
Now that it's decided, I have to come and ask my sister for advice."
Madam He smiled, "The Hu family is a wealthy family, and the third girl is getting married.
No matter what, I have to do my best to provide for the child.
Back up the dowry.
I heard that wealthy people are very particular about it, so my sister needs to give me some advice on this dowry.”
Aunt Chen smiled, "It's not difficult."
She said to Mrs.
Chen, "Bring Er Niu's dowry list to your aunt and your siblings."
He Lao Niang is illiterate, and Shen is mainly watching.
Shen is reading and explaining to He Lao Niang in detail.
He Lao Niang is smacking her tongue as she listens.
The furniture comes first, the bed is prepared by the man, but the couch, chairs, tables and stools have to be provided by the woman. , the Chen family is Qingyishui rosewood, a total of seventy-two pieces.
Then there are the jewelry, gold, silver, agate, emerald, gem-inlaid with pearls, hairpins, hairpins, step rings, complete sets of jewelry, they are all here.
After the jewelry, there are cloth and clothing materials, various decorated palace satins, lake silks, and tapestry, as well as several sets of directly made clothes, shoes, and socks.
Behind the cloth are antique calligraphy and painting furnishings and the like.
The Chen family is a wealthy family, so there are fewer of these.
Then there are the trivial things, such as rouge and gouache, porcelain bottles and jars, medicinal cups and plates, washbasins and buckets, combs, handkerchiefs, ear picks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc., etc., etc., etc., and so on, there is another long pile.
Finally, there are four fields and twenty hectares of pavilion.
He Lao Niang kept chanting to Buddha, "Oh my god, Er Niu will have enough to eat and drink for three lifetimes."
Grandma Chen smiled, "This is the only time in my daughter's life.
My mother also loves her and gives her a lot more."
Grandma Chen is an enthusiastic person and said, "Anyway, the family is also buying a dowry for the second girl.
If there is any inconvenience for my aunt, just tell her directly and I will buy it together."
Her daughter married the eldest son of the second wife and the third daughter.
The girl married the eldest son, the third son of a concubine.
Of course, he was incomparable in terms of background.
However, her daughter and the third girl are also considered sisters.
They will marry into the Hu family as granddaughter-in-law.
It is always good to support each other in the world.
He Lao Niang smiled, "Even if I spend all my money on bone marrow oil, I can't afford such a rich dowry as Erniu.
I'll just ask you about the type of dowry.
Anyway, everyone will do their best.
Hu's family also knows the situation of my family and will do their best."
Just buy it.”
Aunt Chen knew the temperaments of her siblings and said, "As the old saying goes, a good man will not be separated from the family, and a good girl will not wear the clothes she married.
You have to live your life by yourself.
I think the third girl is a capable person, so what about the Hu family?"
The young master has vision."
Mrs.
He smiled and said, "It's okay, Awen is an honest person."
After looking at Chen Erniu's dowry list, Mrs.
He and Mrs.

Shen wanted to leave.
Aunt Chen had to stay to eat, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no choice but to stay.
After dinner, Mrs.
Shen was pregnant, so the maid took care of her and took a rest in the room she had cleaned up.
The old aunt and sister-in-law talked for a while, and Aunt Chen said, "Three girls have a good marriage, so I can rest assured."
He Lao Niang was extremely relieved and smiled, "I think it's fate.
Even those marriage arrangements we had made before didn't come to fruition."
"Yes."
Aunt Chen said, "Three girls, you are a lucky one."
Although the Hu family's young master is a commoner, he is not afraid of not having enough to eat in Bishui County by relying on the Hu family's brand name.
The third girl became a mistress as soon as she got married.
Even many girls from small wealthy families may not have the same luck as her.
Isn't she a blessing?
The third girl had a good husband, and Mrs.
He was in a good mood.
She chatted with her eldest sister for a long time.
Although her family is not as wealthy as the Chen family, Mrs.
He is still very confident.
The three girls have a good marriage, and her own girl is more capable, so she will certainly be good in the future.
Ah Lie and Anian are studying in the academy.
Her son studied with Xu Juren and got the title of scholar.
Her grandson is now studying with the Jinshi gentlemen.
According to Mrs.
He's guess, he will be at least the master of Juren in the future.
When he is a great-grandson, he may be able to earn a salary.
Master Jinshi's fame is back.
Think about it, it’s really cool.
Mrs.
He and Mrs.
Shen visited the Chen family and saw how to prepare a dowry for marrying into a wealthy family.
His family cannot compare with the Chen family, but for trivial things, they can prepare as much as they can.
The small family didn't pay much attention to it, so Shen took the third girl, He Zijin, with her and told them some things.
Shen said, "I went out to inquire about it.
The furniture of the big family is very particular about the materials used, such as mahogany and chicken wings."
Wood and rosewood are all made of these precious woods.”
The third girl said, "I heard that those woods are very expensive, so it would be better to use pine.
Pine is not the wrong kind of wood."
Shen laughed, "I think so too.
It's good to use expensive wood, but it's not cost-effective to spend the money all at once.
It's better to take a step back.
The pine wood is also very good furniture.
Let's keep it.
Put down some living money to buy a few acres of farmland, and also prepare some clothing materials.”
He Zijin said, "You might as well go to the state capital to buy clothes materials.
There are many varieties, but they are actually not much more expensive than the good materials in the county."

Shen smiled, "That's right."
The third girl is still working in the embroidery workshop.
According to the third girl's wish, she will quit her job before getting married next year.
As July entered, the weather became cooler, and the He family welcomed an unexpected guest.
He Xin and Mrs.
Li personally accompanied Mr.
Li Wu, the owner of Furongfang, and Mrs.
Li Wu.
Mrs.
Shen was taking He Zijin and Mrs.
He to draw up the dowry list for the third girl.
When she heard Cui Er's reply, she called for Mr.
Li Wu.
Go to the study room and ask Grandma Li Wu to come over and talk.
Mrs.
Li introduced with a smile, "This is the grandma from Furongfang."
Mrs.
Shen thought for a while before she remembered that Mrs.
Li had mentioned Furongfang last year.
Grandma Li Wu smiled and said, "My surname is Jiang."
Mrs.
Shen said hurriedly, "Grandma Jiang, please sit down."
Mrs.
Jiang, Li Wu's grandma, was quite handsome, and her clothes and jewelry were just right.
At first glance, she had an indescribable temperament as soon as she met her face.
Mrs.
Jiang was quite polite and asked Mrs.
He how she was.
Then she looked at He Zijin and said, "Is this the eldest girl in your family?
I've heard of her name for a long time."
He Zijin stood up and bowed, "I saw your pot of phoenix feathers at the chrysanthemum fighting party last year.
It was quite extraordinary."
After accepting the tea served by Grandma Yu, Jiang's eyes were bright with apricots and she looked at He Zijin with a smile, "Then the elder girl must also know the reason for my coming."
He Zijin sat firmly and smiled, "The chrysanthemums won't bloom until the end of August or September.
You're here early."
Jiang smiled, "I'm afraid I'll be late, so I'll ask someone to get there first."
He Zijin smiled, "You are too polite."
Jiang and her husband Li Wuye came here in person, just to buy He Zijin's green chrysanthemums.
Li mentioned this matter to He Zijin last year.
He Zijin did not expect that people from Furongfang would come to Bishui County in person.
Jiang and He Zijin discussed the business privately, and laughed, "If the eldest girl's flowers can win the place in the chrysanthemum competition, we at Furongfang will not take a penny of the bidding price.
Even if it falls outside the top ten, Furongfang can also take care of it for you."
Deposit transaction, only 10% tap.”
This condition is very generous, He Zijin said, "You are so kind to me."
When Jiang said such a condition, He Zijin didn't even make a move, and couldn't help but sigh that he felt calm.

Jiang smiled, "The eldest lady doesn't know what we have here.
Unless you are someone who doesn't like being famous, then we can possibly cooperate.
And the importance of reputation to our business, I don't need to say that the eldest lady also knows."
Last year, I asked the He Xin family to mention this matter to the He Xiucai family.
Naturally, Furongfang knew the situation of the He Gong family clearly.
Jiang was right.
He Zijin was seeking wealth, not fame.
These days, being too famous is not a good thing.
He Zijin said, "I hope your company can keep secrets from me and my family."
Jiang thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to maintain absolute confidentiality.
After all, if someone is willing to investigate the incident that the big girl made last year, it will definitely be found out.
If we cooperate, even within Furongfang, there will be no Tell more about the big girl.
After all, I am afraid that you will be kidnapped by other merchants with more favorable conditions."
After saying this, Jiang laughed first.
He Zijin said, "I still believe in the uncle's vision the most."
"My family has been friends with Mr.
He for decades.
Please rest assured, eldest lady.
If you weren't sincere and rash, you wouldn't ask Mr.
He to be your matchmaker."
Jiang asked, "Eldest lady, I raised a few pots of green chrysanthemums this year.”
He Zijin said, "Only four pots can be taken to the Chrysanthemum Fighting Club.
Two pots are sent to the Chrysanthemum Fighting Club, and the two pots are considered spares.
The remaining two pots will be kept in my house as a favor, and the rest will not go out."
Upon hearing this, Jiang knew that He Zijin was well versed in the principle of "rare things are valuable", and smiled, "Why don't we, Furongfang, buy and sell the two spare pots for the Chrysanthemum Fighting Club?"
"That's fine."
He Zijin just wanted to save trouble.
Jiang smiled, "It's refreshing to work with a big girl."
Although He Zijin is young, he has a clear mind and is not the kind of person to chirp.
He Zijin smiled, "Maybe you and I have the same temperament."
What she wanted was to keep her head down and have meat to eat.
Furongfang understood her idea clearly, not to mention that the conditions were favorable, so she really had no reason to refuse.
Jiang also felt that He Zijin had a bad temper, mainly because He Zijin was young, but he was a person who could make decisions.
She said, "I also have a daughter at home.
When the eldest daughter goes to the state capital, I will introduce you to her."
"Mr.
Jiang and her husband Mr.
Li brought many gifts.
Furongfang not only sells flowers, but is also a well-known rouge shop in the state capital.
Therefore, they specially brought some very good rouge and gouache.
After the Furongfang group said goodbye, the Feng family next door came to visit.
Feng Ning's wife, Mrs.
Zhou, said a few polite words before asking, "My aunt's family is familiar with the Jiang family."
Madam He smiled, "You are talking about Grandma Jiang."
If He Zijin hadn't said that the affairs of Furongfang should be kept secret, Madam He would have had to show off to Mr.

Zhou.
Her girl's flowers hadn't even bloomed yet.
A businessman is coming to our door "If my servants hadn't said she looked familiar today, I wouldn't have dared to come over."
Mrs.
Zhou sighed, "I heard that she married a good family again.
I just don't know about her.
Since I know, no matter what, I can't come here."
I want to give my aunt and sister a warning."
Not to mention Mrs.
He, even Mrs.
Shen couldn't help but look at Mrs.
Zhou.
He Zijin brought some tea and fruit to look after Mrs.
Zhou, and then sat next to Mrs.
He and listened.
Mrs.
Zhou said, "She is ours."
She is from the county, and her family is very poor.
However, she is handsome in life and has great means.
She just didn't want to marry into a talented family in our clan.
She just married Feng Xiu for five or six years.
She passed away due to illness.
She had only one daughter, so she should keep her husband safe no matter what.
Unexpectedly, she found a good family after a year of mourning.
I don’t know what she did to get married to the state capital.
"I just want to marry myself, but I forced a girl from our Feng family to marry into a wealthy family.
At that time, there was a commotion because of her, and the whole family was uneasy."
"Who can I ask for reason these days?"
Mrs.
Zhou said, "Her late husband's family can still live a good life.
Although they are not rich, they still have enough food and clothing.
What's more, Gaotang is still here, and she and her girl are here.
She remarried, but her mother-in-law had no choice but to live in her daughter's house as she had to live alone in an empty house."
"That's the kind of person she is.
We are real relatives.
Since I know about her, there is no reason not to tell her."
Mrs.
Zhou also had good intentions.
Mrs.
He sighed with emotion, "Looking at this pretty young daughter-in-law, it turns out she is married for the second time."
Ms.
Zhou said, "Not only is she handsome, but her skills are also unmatched by ordinary people."
Ms.
Shen said, "Sister-in-law told us, We also have confidence in our hearts.”
Mrs.

Zhou then talked about Jiang's affairs in Furong County.
After the children returned home from school, they stood up and said goodbye.
After seeing Mrs.
Zhou off, He Zijin and He Lao Niang said, "It turns out that Grandma Jiang is the manager Jiang who used to work in Aunt Li's embroidery workshop.
Because she got married, Aunt Li sent people to the state capital to take over what she used to manage.
There was a vacancy in the accounting office, and the third sister was promoted to accounting office by Aunt Li. " Mrs.
He waved her hand, "Never mind her, we can make it if we have money."
Her family and Mrs.
Jiang only have business dealings, so they can't control their marriages.
He Lao Niang is a real person, as long as she can get benefits, and Mrs.
Jiang is not a member of her family, she has no requirements for Mrs.
Jiang's morality.
What's more, Grandma Jiang just remarried, and she was not guilty of murder or arson. gd1806102:
