After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 887 Various Parties Add to the Dowry and the Guan Family Sends Betrothal Gifts

"Yes, yes. On the day they arrived on the Mid-Autumn Festival, they were like young girls, fair-skinned, clean, and fragrant. Now, ugh, the stench is stronger than spoiled sauerkraut!"

Students: “…”

Ugh! These country bumpkins, how dare they talk to us like that? We're not girls at all! What's wrong with us... Ugh!

It was indeed spoiled; the stench emanating from the classmates around them made the students' faces turn green.

They needed to rush back to Taifu Restaurant to grab a spot to shower!
Unfortunately, they still had to finish up their work for the day.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Top of the fine list on August 18th—Zhou Rong. Total fine: ten taels of gold. Reason for the fine: As the supervisor of the auxiliary team, he failed to resolve conflicts within the team, resulting in a brawl involving nine people!"

Because Zhou Rong always wanted to replace Ying Zilin as the head of the students, Qiong Lao and Xun Lao specially appointed him as the assistant team leader, allowing him to manage the students to his heart's content.

As a result, there were too many auxiliary team members, and each one was unwilling to submit to the other. Today, two students got into a fight over the matter of lifting the pillar.

It eventually escalated into a small brawl involving the two men's friends.

By the time Zhou Rong discovered it, it was too late. Although the matter was resolved quickly, he was still fined!

No joke, Zhou Rong, who is only eighteen years old, has visibly aged because of doing this job of 'being a father and taking care of children'.

"Zhou Rongwa, do you accept the punishment? Do you still want to be the manager?" Old Xun asked him deliberately.

Managing this group of ancestors was indeed too much for Zhou Rong, but the thought of not being able to take over the job caused him great pain. He bowed and said earnestly, "Master, rest assured, I will rise to the challenge and lead my fellow students to learn from each other and improve together."

"Tsk," Old Xun said with a sneer, "Alright, keep up the good work."

Zhou Rong: "Yes, student will definitely work hard!"

"..." Uncle Qin looked at Zhou Rong with great agitation. This kid was a mix of good and evil, annoying yet also a bit funny.

It's hard to say.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Students, assemble! Let's head back to Taifu Restaurant!" Zhong Baihu shouted.

The students immediately gathered, each one radiating joy. Even when they heard the villagers talking badly about them, they were no longer angry.

Hmph, I'm on holiday, happy! I won't bother arguing with these rude and uncivilized people!

"I heard that Zhoujia Village is still collecting dye grass, which is the raw material for new dyes. Let's go to Zhoujia Village tomorrow and learn something new."

"I'd like to go to the outskirts of the county to see how preparations are going for the third rural martial arts school. Is there anyone willing to come with me?"

"I am willing to go with you!"

“I am also willing to go. This is the third village martial arts hall in the Great Wei Dynasty. Even the village martial arts hall in the capital city has to rank after the one in the outskirts of Baofu County. We must go and see it.”

The first village martial arts hall was located outside the capital city; the second village martial arts hall was given to Tianmang Prefecture; and the third village martial arts hall was given to Baofu County, where a century-old spy case was discovered.

The local martial arts hall in the capital city ranked fourth.

"Those who wish to go, come and register with Rong after you return to the restaurant!" Zhou Rong was truly working tirelessly.

Ying Zilin even wanted to give up his position to him.

The students were full of enthusiasm, planning what they would do the next day, but the next day, they were all sprawled on their bedding, unable to get up.

Some students even released pent-up illness after taking a break.

The entire Taifu Restaurant was in chaos for another day.

Zhou Rong had another task to complete: he was assigned to buy medicine for the students.

This time he was smarter and bought the medicine from the Qin family... After all, they were the employers of Grandmaster Taigang, so the medicinal materials should be fine.

They spent twenty-two taels of silver to buy thirty doses of medicine, which the healthy students then prepared and sent to the sick students.

A dose of medicine cost less than an ounce of silver, but its effects were remarkable; the medicine took effect within half an hour of taking it. Si Pei was in good health, and an hour later he was jumping around again.

Zhou Rong was relieved. He was pleased to be fined. He thought to himself that he had done a good job and that he would definitely get more points, making it only a matter of time before he replaced Ying Zilin!
……

At the Qin family home, Grandma Qin was organizing her daughter-in-law Qin's dowry, but she still asked about the students several times a day.

"Have the students taken their medicine? Are they feeling any better?"

Uncle Qin said, "They are children from wealthy families, and their health has improved. They are already mostly recovered. Those who were more seriously ill have also had their fevers break and will be better in the next day or two. Mother, don't worry."

Grandma Qin was relieved and handed the neatly arranged dowry list to her family: "This is the dowry for Sister Shu. Take a look and see if there's anything wrong with it?"

Uncle Qin took it and read: "The dowry includes a house in the town, a house in the county seat, and a house in the capital; a total of one hundred mu of farmland in the county, twenty mu in the prefectural city of Dongming, and fifteen mu in the capital; twelve colors of cotton cloth, six bolts of each color..."

This amount of fabric is enough for Qin Xiaogu to make new clothes for a lifetime.

In addition, there were two bolts of silk, twelve pieces of leather, as well as dowry bonuses, gold, silver, jade beads, and other valuables.

The first courtyard house in the capital was separated from the third courtyard house on Songmo Street.

Qin Xiaomi insisted on giving some to Qin Xiaogu.

The fifteen mu of land in the capital was also divided from Qin Xiaomi's thirty-five mu small farm.

As for the hundred acres of farmland in Baofu County, Jiang Dalang sent a message home by carrier pigeon, informing his family that the Duke of Yan was going to restrict the purchase of farmland and houses in Baofu County, and his family quickly arranged for the acquisition.

The Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families each acquired at least 20 to 30 mu, and at most 100 mu, of new land.

They also bought a house in the county town.

After the downfall of the Yang County Magistrate's faction and the Feng County Assistant Magistrate's faction, they relinquished a considerable amount of property, and the county government also provided convenience to the Qin and Jiang families.

Therefore, all of them bought houses in the county town to settle down.

"That's fine, we, the second branch of the family, have no objections. Parents and Xiaomi can make the decisions." At this moment, Uncle Qin felt particularly aware of being a freeloader to his younger relatives.

Aunt Qin nodded in agreement: "These are all my sister's strengths, the more the better."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaogu looked at the dowry list and was deeply moved. She didn't say anything to refuse, knowing that it would be useless to refuse anyway.

Let's keep it at home for now, and she can take it out if the family needs it later.

She mentally spat a few more times. No need for it, the family will be fine, she'll never need to help out.

Jiang Xiaozhu was incredibly envious... Her aunt was a rich woman!

And now she is also the richest woman in the town... The fierce older brother bought her a house in the capital and gave her a small box containing dozens of pearls, two large South Sea pearls, and two red coral beads!
My ancestors were right! The gossip really wasn't lying. Being a soldier to suppress bandits and raid their hideouts is indeed the way to get rich quick.

When she grows up, I will definitely buy a group of servants, train them to be martial arts instructors, and send them to suppress bandits and raid their dens to make a fortune.

Qin Xiaomi: "???"

……

But Qin Xiaogu's dowry didn't stop there. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, people from all walks of life came to Qin Xiaogu's door to add to her dowry.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Reporting that the Dai family has donated ten cartloads of new grain as part of the dowry for Lord Qin's daughter's marriage!"

"Reporting that the Ji family has donated two sets of writing implements and two boxes of complete primers to congratulate the Qin family on the marriage of their daughter!"

"At the Gong family's residence in the county town, three large bronze vessels were donated as part of the dowry for the daughter of Lord Qin, to celebrate the Qin family's daughter's marriage!"

"The Chen family has donated a six-panel screen as part of the dowry for the daughter of Elder Qin, to celebrate the Qin family's daughter's marriage!"
