Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 75 The Dowry
Zheng Guofa sent the letter of credence, in addition to the marriage documents, he also attached a dowry list.

That's right, it's a dowry list.The man clearly listed the dowry that the woman needs to bring when she marries.

This list lists the name and quantity of dowry items, and also specifies the type and quantity of dowry personnel.For example, the number of brewers, the number of blacksmiths, the number of artisans, the number of doctors, the number of potters, the number of weavers, the number of gold, silver and jade wares, and the number of boxes of letters are designated.
Good guy, this is obviously robbery.The princes and kings who married the queen did not speak so loudly like a lion.

Hua Guogong was also very dissatisfied with this dowry list, but he was relieved at the same time.

The more things Zheng Wugong wanted, the less likely Zheng Guo would invade Hua.At least that's what the Skaters think.

Then the next step is to get the dowry together.

"Zheng Guo wants eighteen doctors?" Lin Xiaoxiao understood why Hu Zigui said that she might lose her freedom.

"Yes, take the number of double nine," Huzi returned. "The news hasn't been released yet, and the officials haven't started to recruit people. Shannv can still leave the city at this time."

"If that's the case, I'm not afraid," Lin Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, "I want to leave, but no one can stop me. But I have to send Erya away."

Hu Zigui was a little worried: "The mountain girl is not leaving?"

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but looked at Hu Zigui, her eyes became a little stern.

"What are you talking about when you come to the capital?"

The dowry matter happened in the past few days, and it has not been announced to the public, but Hu Zigui has already received news, indicating that he has been in the capital for some time.That is to say, he came to the capital for other reasons.

Beard Gui looked troubled.He didn't want to lie to Lin Xiaoxiao, but it was inconvenient to tell her.

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.

"It seems that you really have other things. Since you refuse to say it, it has nothing to do with me."

"Ah this."

"That's all. Make an appointment and help me send Er Ya back to Niu Shou Mountain."

"Recently there have been bandits running outside the city. It's not safe to go back to Niu Shou Mountain at this time. It's better to wait for the spring to warm up before going back to Niu Shou Mountain."

"Another bandit?"

"In recent years, due to the bullying of Zheng Guo people in the city, many low-level merchants have been unable to pay the poll tax on time, and can only be reduced from Chinese to savages."

"Those robbers were the original small merchants pretending to be?"

"It's not pretending, they really fell into bandits."

Due to the decrease in the number of small merchants in the city, the number of merchants who needed guards also decreased, resulting in the loss of jobs for the guards who used to make a living as darts.These people became rangers, and more and more people colluded with each other inside and outside the city to rob merchants.

Hu Zigui said: "We will temporarily live in Hu's house in Mouton Lane, so Erya can stay with us temporarily. When the weather is warmer, Shen Wu can send her back to Niu Shou Mountain."

"Alright, without further ado, I will let Erya leave the Guozhang's mansion tomorrow to find you."

After talking about the business, Lin Xiaoxiao threw a bottle of bruise ointment to Hu Zigui, and then went back to her residence.

Erya didn't want to leave Lin Xiaoxiao, and asked aggrievedly: "I don't want to leave, can Shannv take me to Zheng Guo with me?"

Lin Xiaoxiao still refused after thinking for a while: "I might go to Zheng Guo as the dowry of Sixteen Niangs. If you follow me, you will be a slave girl. This is not a good thing. If your life is controlled by others."

Erya felt that what Lin Xiaoxiao said made sense, and worried: "Since it's so dangerous, why don't Shan Nu leave with me?"

"I'm not in a hurry," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "You forgot that I have the 'magic body protection', and I can leave at any time. Even if I arrive in Zheng State, I can return to the mountain at any time."

Actually, Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to visit Zheng Guo a little bit, as if it was a tourist.

She used to like to run around, and it was always boring to stay on the mountain.

With the reputation system, Lin Xiaoxiao can teleport to Niu Shou Mountain at any time.She now has more than 2000 points, which is enough for teleportation.

Without fear of her life, Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to see what Zheng Guo was like.If the timing is right, it is also possible to collect points on the road.

Early the next morning, Erya left the Guozhang's Mansion with her luggage on her back, followed the route described by Hu Zigui to find Hu's Mansion in Mouton Lane, and stayed there temporarily.

As soon as Erya left, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little lonely in the Guozhang's mansion.Fortunately, she cared about earning points, and was familiar with the servants in the back room, and earned a few more points by treating everyone's illnesses and recuperating their bodies.

In addition, Sixteen Niang was going to get married and needed to learn a lot, so she didn't have time to talk to Lin Xiaoxiao.

After a few days of such a leisurely life, Lin Xiaoxiao was taken to another place.

Before leaving the Guozhang's mansion, the officials gave Lin Xiaoxiao a gold.This gold is equivalent to buying Lin Xiaoxiao's free body, officially adding her name to Sixteen Niang's dowry list.

Relying on her own system, Lin Xiaoxiao gladly accepted the money.

All the dowry of Liu Niang was placed in the mansion newly given by Duke Hua, and all the dowry staff lived there temporarily.

By the way, Duke Hua has officially announced to the whole country that Sixteen Niangs should be close to Zheng Guo, and named Sixteen Niangs the princess and bestowed the surname Hua.Since then, there has been no Gongsun Liuniang in the world, and the person who is close to Zheng Guo is "Princess Slider".

Princess Slider, representing the princess of the slippery country.

Lin Xiaoxiao encountered a "surprise" on the first day she moved into the new house.

Hu Zigui, Lu Nu, Hu Sanlang, Hu Laoshu, and A Chai, these five people actually live here.

"Shen Wu stays in Hu's house, and when the weather warms up, send Erya back to Niu Shou Mountain, and then rush to Zheng Guo to join us." Hu Zigui explained.

Was Lin Xiaoxiao surprised by Shen Wu's absence? ? ?

Lin Xiaoxiao stared: "Why do you also live here, you are also dowry?"

Beard Gui smiled and nodded.

"Why?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't understand, "What identity did you come in with? What if Zheng Guo people know your identity?"

"Of course I'm still Huzigui. If they know who I am, they'll just go and meet that grandfather I've never met before." Huzigui said indifferently.

Lin Xiaoxiao jumped off the chair and quickly closed the door.There were only the two of them in the house.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Zigui seriously: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Hu Zigui replied innocently: "Nothing."

"I don't believe it," Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Hu Zigui suspiciously, "I thought you were an honest person, but now I find that you are not a good person."

Beard Gui smiled wryly: "Where did I make a mistake?"

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were sharp: "The thing about the sacrificial vessel last winter, you took revenge on Du Wu's group afterward, right?"

Hu Zigui admitted frankly: "Forget it. Those people are villains, and Gui has a clear conscience."

Lin Xiaoxiao snorted: "Do you think you are smart, you are smarter than me, don't you?"

"Ah, this." Hu Zigui looked embarrassed.

"Okay, I don't care what you do when you go to Zheng Guo." Lin Xiaoxiao squinted her beard and returned a glance, "In order to prevent you from being smart, I can tell you a secret, a secret that Hua Guo people don't know."
