Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 257 Dowry (4)
"Come in, hurry up, carry it to the yard, and put it in the open space!"

The matchmaker commanded in front of her own backyard, and more than a dozen men rushed in from the yard, each carrying a big box in their hands. After putting it on the open space, some of them turned back again.

"Erni, go get some hot tea!"

Mrs. Liu washed her hands in the kitchen, and even though she didn't want to see guests at home, she had to be courteous.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Erni just came back on the sixth day of the lunar new year and didn't know anything about Mo Qingqiang. She was a little curious when she saw so many people at home, thinking that the host family had bought something.

"Scholar's lady, great joy! These are just dowry gifts. The Ye family boy said that this is part of it, so you can accept it with peace of mind, and make up the rest after he comes back."

The matchmaker took the hot tea from Erni and thanked her. The things have been delivered and there is nothing else for her. Now she wants to go home quickly and get into the hot bed to count the money. These days are like a dream , holding that snowflake silver every morning to feel real, I really can’t see it, everyone has it, I guess the things in the box are worth a lot, but let her keep her mouth shut when the customer leaves, since she took the money, She also promised not to talk nonsense.

"Boy Ye?"

Niang Liu frowned. Last time I heard that Girl Qiang said that Brother Ye should be alone. In the past few days, there was no one in the yard next door. She thought that this matter would just pass away. Who knew that the betrothal gift would be delivered directly to her door. How could this happen!
"We can't accept these. The child's father hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't made a decision yet. Let's talk about the engagement documents..."

"Hey, Mrs. Xiucai, I'm afraid that I, an old woman, can't make the decision. I can only do what the customer tells me, and if I give it to your family, it belongs to your family! Even if I don't get married in the future, I won't want these things."

The matchmaker curled her lips inwardly, she is not just a farmer in the village, the man has a reputation as a scholar, and he still holds it, so where can I find the conditions of the Ye boy, the second girl of the Mo family is going to fly to the branch!What else is there to be dissatisfied with, if her girl can be attracted by such a person, she will wake up laughing from a dream!

"It's not polite, we can't..."

Mrs. Liu was about to refuse, but the matchmaker smiled and interrupted her, "Miss Xiucai, we are in charge of delivering the things, and now that they have been delivered, don't bother me!"

As the matchmaker spoke, she greeted a few men, and everyone put down their teacups one after another, and went out sullenly. Mrs. Liu wanted to chase them out, but only had time to see a few carriages going away.

Thanks to the new year, it is still this kind of winter, everyone in the village is in winter, it is quiet outside, the courtyard wall of Qingli's house is also high, and Goudan's house next door can't see what's going on inside, otherwise, just that Several carriages were surrounded by villagers.

"Girl Li, go and close the courtyard door!"

Seeing a row of boxes piled up in the yard, Mrs. Liu frowned, and even the little disciples Xi and Dongwa were drawn out, looking around non-stop.

The second sister, Qing Qiang, opened a gap in the curtain at the door of the house, looked at the rows of tall boxes on the opposite side, her eyes were full of complex colors, and her hands were used to touching the jade pendant inside the collar.

"Girl Qiang, follow me into the house."

Mother Liu glanced at Mo Qingqiang, then walked ahead silently, while the second sister bowed her head and followed behind in a shy manner.

Qingli was just curious about these big boxes, what kind of treasures were contained in them, she couldn't tell that the black shadow was still a local tyrant, and it was only a part of the betrothal gift that he sold so many things.

It was almost dinner time when father Mo Ruhu came back with his third elder brother Mo Zisong and Li Moxuan. The courtyard door was closed, and the three of them knocked on the door for a long time, but they were still confused when they came in.

"Girl Li, why are you still closing the door? You just don't want Dad to come back?"

The shop in the town is running smoothly, and Mo Ruhu is also very happy. Now the whole family is working hard in one place, everyone is full of energy, and they are waiting for the shop to open to make money.

"Father, it's not that I don't welcome you, you'll know when you go in."

After Li Moxuan came in, Qingli locked the courtyard door again.

"Ah? What is this? Who came to our house?"

Sure enough, Dad Mo Ruhu didn't go far, when he saw a pile of boxes on the open space, he turned his head and asked Qingli in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Let my mother tell you."

Qingli spread her hands, pretending she didn't know anything, she went into the kitchen to watch Erni make Yuanxiao.

During dinner, Qing Li secretly took a look at Dad's expression, as usual, Mother looked slightly worried, while the second sister Qing Qiang was completely happy, with a smile on her face, the kind of expression that is missed by her sweetheart , If you don't stay in a female college, you can't stay.

"Little sister, dad said that he will take our family to the town tomorrow! Xiaofeng County's annual lantern festival is held in our town this year. Haha, there are lantern riddles and lion dances. There are many tricks."

The third brother Mo Zisong and Qingli shared the good news. They hadn't been to the town a few times since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and this time it was finally exciting to watch.

"Really, that's great! If Cousin Gingko is here, she will definitely jump up!"

Qingli is also very happy, she also wants to see the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival in ancient times, Erni said that there are more customs in the south, and there are also river lanterns. ice.

"The Lantern Festival is very lively, and everyone around will come! There are snack sellers and stilt walkers in the town, and we have to cross the bridge to get rid of all kinds of diseases."

Walking all kinds of diseases is the Lantern Festival, when women go out together, go together, and cross every bridge, thinking that this can cure diseases and prolong life.There will be a lot of people in the town tomorrow, Qingli's grandma won't go, and grandma's actions are not particularly agile, too many people will easily lead to stampede incidents, the elderly and children must be cautious.

During the meal, the originally depressed atmosphere gradually became lively during the discussion between Qingli and the third brother Mo Zisong. I heard that if you are lucky, you can catch up with the troupe to sing, but the troupe in the south is not there It's New Year's Eve in the north, so I can't tell.

After dinner, father Mo Ruhu and Mrs. Liu went into the house to discuss it, but in the end he was very helpless, that Ye Xiaozi didn't know where he was, so the things were delivered first, and he couldn't keep them in the yard to attract attention, so he had to move them to the warehouse , but these twenty boxes are quite heavy, now father Mo Ruhu has no strength after being injured, and only the third brother Mo Zisong can be used at home. He has great strength after practicing martial arts with Lin Fengche. The two of Li Moxuan can also carry a box and transport it to the warehouse at a tortoise speed.

In fact, Qingli can move a box by herself, she also has kung fu, and she walks lightly with the lightness technique, but in order to be discovered, she had to lift it with Li Moxuan.

Until dark, when the twenty boxes were finally transported into the warehouse, the third brother Mo Zisong muttered out of breath, "What are these things? They are so heavy!"

There were two small boxes, which were too heavy, and they were carried in by Qing Li, second sister Qing Qiang, Er Ni, mother Liu, and third brother Mo Zisong.
