087 Hiring
087 Retired
"When I see, this betrothal gift is really decent," Fang said happily. Unexpectedly, his parents-in-law gave them face like this. Yuan Shan and Yuan Fu got married this time, and their faces were completely gone.
Yuan Yongan also smiled, "My father and mother are willing to buy these betrothal gifts for the money sold by peanuts, which is not counted as the money given by the fish."
"It's better to have a higher betrothal gift. First of all, Shanzi is the eldest son. Sunset is a begging for marriage. The two children are more decent and they will get married in the future." Bai said with a smile.
"Mom, then I'll rent a ox cart. You guys are here for a while," said Yuan Qing.
Yuan Yongcheng nodded, and Yuan Qing ran back to the city gate of the town. There was a ox cart at the city gate. They walked around Heishan Hu for a long time, but they could take the ox cart up.
Yuan Xiaoyu looked at the betrothal gifts and kept asking if it was enough. Fang and Yuan Yongan said it was OK.
After a while, Yuan Qing brought two ox carts over. Because there was a lot of food, each of them occupied half of the cart, so one or two ox carts obviously could not be accommodated.
The coachman was very surprised to see so many things. He didn't expect that the betrothal gifts of the people in the mountains would be so heavy.
It would be very decent if someone in the mountains who had rich hiring silver to give him 5-10 taels. He would give him two big fat chickens, some candy snacks and wine, which would be very good.
Although the two coachmen were surprised, they saw that the owner had no intention of explaining much, so they pulled the cow and helped to carry things into the car.
First arrange the food, then a large box containing cloth, dried fruits and other items, then a basket of fruits, and then all of them are covered with the words "Big Red" and it looks very happy.
The road to the mountain is not easy to walk. When going uphill, in addition to Yuan Xiaoyu and others, they also ordered the ox cart to lose weight. Yuan Yongan and others were all honest people, and they helped push the road that was difficult to walk. The driver was happy and urged the ox to walk quickly.
They arrived at the place at noon. Yuan Yongcheng and his wife took Yuan Xiaoyu to the Fang family to deliver the betrothal gifts on behalf of the second wife Yuan Fu.
Yuan Yongcheng and his wife went to their in-laws Shentu’s house to give gifts, while Yuan Qing and Yuan Xing were together with their family.
As soon as the two ox carts entered the village, they attracted many villagers who happened to go home for lunch. Looking at the ox carts with the words "Happy" were posted, they all went to the two families to watch the fun.
The Fang family is their own family. Old Mrs. Fang was very happy to see Yuan Yongcheng and others. Qiu and Li were busy serving guests. Because they said hello in advance, Fang Shulin was also at home.
"Third brother and sister-in-law, thank you so much for your hard work." Fang Shulin was also very surprised to see the Yuan family driving a ox cart to deliver the betrothal gift.
Yuan Yongcheng smiled and said, "Today I will ask for a job offer for my nephew Yuan Fu. Are you satisfied with this betrothal gift? If you have any inappropriate things, please mention it. Let's choose an auspicious day to send it."
"Satisfied, satisfied, this is too much for Wanxia. Come to my third brother's house to sit." Fang Shulin smiled and pulled Yuan Yongcheng into the house. He didn't see the betrothal gift at all, so he naturally trusted the Yuan family.
Bai and Yuan Qing put all the betrothal gifts in the yard, and all the big wooden boxes were opened. The grain alone was enough to make people jealous. After all, millet, red beans, mung beans, glutinous rice and other grains were all fine grains, and farmers generally could not eat them.
And it would be even more different when other betrothal gifts were put out one by one.
Qiu was both happy and complained, "Why did you give such a heavy betrothal gift? This is so high-looking at my sunset."
Qiu Shi was not happy either. There were only a few boxes of jewelry. In order to show that there were many jewelry, Yuan Xiaoyu opened the jewelry in a wooden box prepared in advance.
These wooden boxes are all craftsmanship from their previous lives. The mahogany jewelry boxes are single-layered, and there are two-layered upper and lower layers, all with locks.
There are also auspicious patterns such as wealthy peonies, magpies climbing branches, etc. on it. There is also a dressing box with many small drawers, and there are sterling silver combs and other objects.
The jewelry boxes were opened one by one, and the complete set of jewelry and coral jewelry were shocked.
"Sunxia, come on." Bai Shi picked up the pure gold dragon and phoenix bracelet with a red silk squid, then pulled her another hand that was not wearing the token bracelet of her token, and put the dragon and phoenix bracelet on her with her own hands.
"Dragons and phoenixes bring good fortune, I wish you and Yuan Fu a long and long-lasting old age"
"San Aunt" Fang Wanxia was a little shocked, and Old Lady Fang and Qiu were also surprised and happy.
"Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet! Pure Gold"
"Oh, Sunset, your husband's family respects you"
"That's right, the dragon and phoenix bracelets have been given, but there are not many of us in Gou Xiongling..."
"The sunset is blessed..."
Several wives from the village who came over to watch the fun also turned red and started to discuss.
"Thank you grandma" Fang Wanxia said a little grateful and shyly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She was getting married and was fighting for her parents' family.
Bai Shi smiled and patted her hand, "Good child, you are a sensible, your grandparents will love you naturally."
Fang Wanxia embarrassedly pulled Yuan Xiaoyu as a shield, then went into the kitchen, and then made egg custard for Yuan Xiaoyu to eat.
The yard was still lively, with bright red satin fabrics, fresh fruits, etc., plus a red tray with five taels per ingot, 30 silver ingots, and 30 taels of proprietorship, which made the villagers burst into pieces.
"Oh, it's amazing, I'm afraid Sunset's betrothal gift will be worth a hundred taels."
"No, the Yuan family has really made a fortune, and the sunset has fallen into the lucky nest."
"It's not that. I didn't look at other people's houses. It's the first one in the mountains..."
After the betrothal gift, Bai and Yuan Qing, the second house, took all the valuables to Qiu's house and locked them together.
Qiu was so happy that he quickly took out the snacks and washed the fruits to entertain the guests. The fruits, meat and food sent by Yuan Jiarenyi were not good enough to be taken back to his in-laws as dowry. Except for jewelry and guild silver, Fang Wanxia could add these betrothal gifts to her husband's house as dowry, and almost all other items were prepared for the Fang family. This kind of heart is honest enough.
Li and Fang Wanxia were busy cooking. The old lady in the house received the Yuan family. She must have a meal. Qiu killed the old hen that her family couldn't bear to eat. In addition, the betrothal gifts she sent contained meat and cut pork to stir-fry.
Qiu was happy, and Li was quite envious, but it was a pity that her two sons had no daughter.
"Yanxia, I want my second aunt to see. If you marry into the Yuan family, you will enjoy more happiness than the town." Li said to Fang Wanxia while cooking.
"Well, I know, I will do my duty well in the future and live a life," Fang Wanxia said shyly.
Yuan Xiaoyu was taken to the kang in the upper room and sat at the kang table. Old Mrs. Fang was peeling apples for her, and her face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.
The Fang family is lively, and the Shentu family is the same.
Yuan Yongan and his wife personally gave their son a betrothal gift. The villagers who had seen the betrothal gifts were praised by the Yuan family for their big deals. The two grandsons actually gave the same betrothal gift. The betrothal gift alone costs 200 taels of silver. After all, jewelry such as dragon and phoenix bracelets are real, plus those fresh fruits and so much fine grain.
Many families who have daughters of appropriate age immediately set their sights on the Yuan family. It is estimated that the Yuan family has many grandchildren, and they are about to get married when they have a twin.
Heishanhu was hired today because the Yuan family came to hire him, so it was really lively. The gossip topics about working in the field in the afternoon were all talking about the Yuan family.
It was afternoon when Yuan Xiaoyu and the others walked back. Fang Shulin was stopped by Yuan Yongan and others.
When we arrived at a hidden place, we took out several wheelbarrows one by one, and then the things we bought for our home were taken out of the space by Yuan Xiaoyu. Then we added a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits, pastries, dried fruits and other items to prepare for marriage.
The Yuan family ordered live pigs at the foot of the mountain and would take them up the mountain in two days.
"Oh, it's so magical." Even Yuan Yongan and others saw Yuan Xiaoyu turning into something empty-handed several times, and they were still very surprised.
