The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 209 Makeup Gifts

Li Family Village, Li House.

"I don't know where your elder brother and the others have gone? I've been out for the past few days, and I haven't received a single letter." Mrs. Wang muttered beside Mingmei.

Li Mingmei: "Mom, big brother and the others are rushing for the exam, and they may not meet the right opportunity to send the letter back. You can rest assured that my sister-in-law is here."

Thinking of Zhao Yunlan, Wang felt relieved.

At this time Li Mingli hurried in, "Mother, I'll go to Zhaojiagou to see the wood."

Mrs. Wang: "Go, remember to take the fine cotton to your aunt, and some tea leaves, which Uncle Zhao likes to drink."

"Hey, that's fine. Little sister, help me keep an eye on the school for the past two days." Li Mingli said as he walked out.

Wang yelled: "Your sister is a girl, what's the matter with running out every day! You can find someone else to help watch."

Li Mingli stopped: "Oh, I don't worry about changing someone. Isn't it because the little girl is still helping me keep the accounts, and it's more convenient. Besides, I'll just go for one night and come back tomorrow."

Wang said seriously: "No!"

Li Mingli sighed and suddenly raised his head: "Then I'll ask my father to watch for me." After speaking, he ran away.

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "Your father is also a flea."

Li Mingmei didn't dare to agree with Wang's words, but she couldn't help but smile.

"Mother, what are you laughing at, little sister?" Wu Yi came over holding Niu Niu.

"Oh, it's not that Mingli's child is unreliable. How did you take the child out?" Wang looked at Niu Niu and was overjoyed.

Wu Yi: "It's a good day today, take him out to bask in the sun."

Wang took Niu Niu and looked at the little man in his arms with a sigh.At the beginning, my body was so bad, and I lived a day without tomorrow, who would have thought that I could still hug the second child and coax her now.All this is thanks to Yunlan, this exclamation started to worry about Yunlan and Li Mingren again.

Wang put aside the things in her mind and handed Niu Niu back to Wu Yi.

"Girl Yuqing's wedding is coming, and I want to add some makeup to her. What would you like to add?" Wang asked the two people beside her.

The family more or less knew about Mingli and the reason why Wang did this.

Li Mingmei said: "Then give a pair of bracelets to Sister Yuqing!"

Mrs. Wang nodded and looked at Wu Yi.

Wu Yi thought: "Well, my sister-in-law gave me something before, saying it was a makeup gift for Yuqing." Wu Yi told Hongying to go back and get it.

After a while, Hongying took it over. It was Li Mingren's previous homework review book. There were many notes on it, which should be useful to Li Yuqing's in-laws.Wang Shi smiled, and sure enough Yunlan was thoughtful.

However, this was a pain for Li Mingren. At that time, Zhao Yunlan said that she would send some exam materials to Li Yuqing, so she asked Li Mingren to pick out a few of them. Li Mingren was reluctant to take any of them. In the end, it was Zhao Yunlan's combination of hard and soft ways that made this happen. Book.This is a copy that Li Mingren spent several days re-copying.I searched for it~
Perhaps only scholars can understand the preciousness of books and knowledge. Although Zhao Yunlan has also read books for many years, unlike Li Mingren's environment, Zhao Yunlan lives in an era where knowledge is readily available, as long as one is willing to learn it.And here, it's just like the old man Liu has taught Li Mingren so many times, but he still doesn't want to accept Li Mingren after so long.

Mrs. Wang put the book away: "Then make a pair of gold bracelets and add this book."

In the blink of an eye, it's October.

Today is Li Yuqing's day for adding makeup. Farmers don't pay much attention to these things, but in the past two years, the life in the village has improved, and the family's weddings have become more grand.And Li Yuqing's in-law's family this time is considered a good family in the town, so there is this Tianzhuangxi.

Mrs. Wang came with Li Mingmei. As soon as she entered the room, she was invited to sit in the main seat. They were all from the same village. Mrs. Wang was not willing to pay attention to these etiquettes, so she sat on the side seat next to her.

Li Mingmei was really bored at home and wanted to come out to play, so she followed Wang to the village chief's house.Mrs. Wang thought that her daughter was getting older, so she should understand these things, so she brought Mingmei out together.

Mrs. Wang saw that everyone brought out makeup gifts, some were fabrics, some were boxes and cages, and some were gift covers, all of which were made of good materials and could be used after marriage.Of course, there are also jewellery, silver hairpins, earrings and so on.

These makeup gifts are all piled up in the room, and it is a bit shocking to look at it at first glance. There are indeed too many. In addition to the relatives of the village head, there are some good relations in the village. Even the neighboring village has come. It can be seen that the village head The popularity is still very good.

When Mrs. Wang took out the makeup she had prepared, there was a burst of exclamation in the room. The peasants exclaimed about the pair of gold bracelets, and some people who had studied and knew a few words exclaimed about the book.It was a book read by Master Juren.

Li Chunsheng and Wang Guifang felt complacent. This is to give their daughters face, and there are books in the dowry, so they will definitely be looked at by the Shi family who supports scholars.Not to mention that this book is indeed useful to Shi Baohua.

Wang Guifang: "Oh, sister, you are too precious."

Wang: "Sister, what are you talking about? Yuqing was originally raised by me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more.

Mrs. Wang took Li Mingmei to the village chief's house for lunch and then went home.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw that Li Mingli was about to go out.

"Third, where are you going?"

"Mother, I have to go to Zhaojiagou. There is not enough wood in the ancestral hall. I will order some more."

Wang waved his hand, and Li Mingli drove He Wu and Zheng Tian away in the bullock cart.

In Shangyang County, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren were eating in the inn.It can be seen that Shangyang County is larger than Xihe County, and the people here have a better life.

After the meal, Li Mingren went to the Escort Bureau to hire a bodyguard, which was discussed before.As soon as he entered the city, Ye Sheng went to inquire about the security agency in Shangyang City, called Tengma Security Agency.

"Does the guest want to deliver a letter or a gift?" A shopkeeper came out and asked Li Mingren. It seemed that Li Mingren and two boys stood outside the escort agency for a long time and did not come in.

Li Mingren walked away: "No. I want to give it away."

Shopkeeper Yu invited Li Mingren in, and asked the handyman of the Escort to bring tea.

"How and where does the customer want to deliver it?"

Li Mingren: "Just send me off, I'm going to Beijing."

Shopkeeper Yu said: "From the accent, the customer should be from another county. This is the first time to hire a bodyguard, right?"

Li Mingren nodded involuntarily, and the next moment he was a little annoyed that he had exposed his ignorance, and worried that he would be brutally slaughtered by the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Yu saw Li Mingren's worry, and said with a smile: "Guests, don't worry, our Tengma Escort will keep our promise and will not disclose information about the guests. However, before that, the guests should tell us some basic information."

Li Mingren looked at shopkeeper Yu, and he didn't feel any malice before he said, "I'm going to Beijing, there are six of us, there are female relatives, and there are no children."

Li Mingren didn't say what he was doing in Beijing, and shopkeeper Yu should have guessed it when he saw Li Mingren's behavior.If the customer doesn't say anything, shopkeeper Yu won't ask.

"Guest, let me tell you about the situation of this person's bodyguard. Generally speaking, we have two types here. One is a team of bodyguards who escort you to Beijing to protect your personal safety and property. Most of the bodyguard teams are The requirements of the guests are the main ones.

The other is to follow the darts, that is, there are darts who go to Beijing together, and you follow.This kind of protection only protects your own safety. If your wealth is in danger, the escort will not help you, and you have to follow the schedule of the escort team. "

Li Mingren was thoughtful, then the first type must be more expensive, Li Mingren asked: "What about the prices of these two types?"

Shopkeeper Yu said: "The first one depends on how many bodyguards you hire. Generally, there is at least one team. There are eight bodyguards in a team. Then count the distance. If you go to the capital to hire a team of bodyguards, it's about the same price. The price is 400. Two denarii."

Li Mingren gasped, 400 taels!It's so expensive, you can buy a house in Xihe County.

Shopkeeper Yu looked at Li Mingren's expression, and said calmly: "The second option is cheaper, only 160 taels of silver."

After listening to 400 taels, listening to this 160 taels is not so harsh.

Li Mingren didn't know how to choose for a while, and sat on the chair in a daze.

Shopkeeper Yu went on to say: "If the customer doesn't bring much valuable luggage, you can choose the second option. After all, these years have been relatively peaceful, and there are few dangers on the road. If there are turbulent years, 400 and the first option are not enough. Our bodyguards here are not flamboyant, so they also risk their lives to make this money."

Li Mingren nodded: "I'd better go back and discuss it first."

Shopkeeper Yu said: "Okay, but we will have a escort to the capital in the future. If you have discussed it, you can reply earlier."

Li Mingren responded and turned to leave. Ye Sheng and He Wen were also dumbfounded when they followed Li Mingren. They didn't expect this escort agency to be so expensive.

The three master and servant were stunned by the price, so all three of them forgot what Zhao Yunlan told them to buy some needed items to replenish their luggage.
