Chapter 258 Dowry (5)
After they were all brought in, it was already dark. In the warehouse, Grandma Cui sent an oil lamp to facilitate everyone's conversation.

"Can you open it and have a look? What are these?"

Qingli took a look at her parents and second sister, she was just curious about what was inside, and there were red papers pasted on them, remembering the last time when the hall brother got married, her mother said that there seemed to be money and fabrics that had been ordered. Jewelry, cakes and snacks, as well as a lot of wine, cured chicken and duck.

"Then have a look."

These are all betrothal gifts for the second sister, and she has the right to decide. Seeing her nodding, the parents also took out the key given by the matchmaker, uncovered the red paper, and opened the first box. The whole family gasped!
This is the heaviest box that several people brought in together. Inside is a whole box of golden ingots. Each ingot is not too big, and they are stacked neatly in rows.

"This, this is too precious!"

Mother Liu also felt that she had seen the world, and there was a similar situation at home, digging out a jar of treasures, but she had never seen so much gold, which dazzled people's eyes this night.

"Little sister, I'm dreaming, can you pinch me?"

Although Mo Zisong knew that his family suddenly had money, he never asked about these things, and he would just eat what he had. This was the first time he saw Jin Yuanbao, and he blinked and blinked, with a dull expression on his face.

"Ow!"

Qing Li unceremoniously pinched the third brother, causing him to scream in pain, and jumped up and down, "I asked you to pinch you, it's too hard, you must be blue!"

"Is that the point?"

The only one in this family who is the calmest is Qingli. The ratio of this baby to the space is nothing compared to the big witch. She folded her arms and looked at the third brother Mo Zisong with contempt.

"hey-hey!"

Mo Zisong scratched his head, then looked at his parents, "There are other boxes, why don't you open them up and have a look?"

Dad calmed down, and then continued to use the key to open the box. After the shock of the gold ingot, the rest of the things calmed down a little, but every time the box was opened, they all opened their mouths in cooperation, and after reacting , and then close.

Among the other boxes, there was a box of silver ingots, which was also full. It was estimated that each box was about a few thousand taels. There were also three or four boxes of fabrics, and three or four boxes of furs, which were of a higher grade than those sent by Zhao Wanchun. The worst is also fox fur.

The rest of the boxes contained antique calligraphy and paintings, and a box full of jewelry. For Mrs. Liu, the things inside were the most dazzling, including gold and silver, gems, emeralds, and all kinds of things. Jade, pearls, Buddhist beads, and jewelry are basically complete sets, and the styles are also fresh, which are much better than the jewelry sold by Xu Zhutou's house.

There are also medicinal materials, including several ginsengs. It may be that the town is still investigating, so all the sent are nourishing bird's nests, etc., some of which Qingli has never seen.

"You are not allowed to tell this matter, you know, even your uncle and uncle are not allowed to say it."

After being amazed, Mo Ruhu seriously warned everyone, "Let's not say that this thing does not belong to our family, and it is not safe to put it in our house. If people know about it, there will be someone with a thoughtful screwdriver. It is not good to recruit a thief!"

"Godfather, godmother, don't worry, we all know the seriousness."

Li Moxuan took the lead in expressing his opinion, and also suggested that the family should not leave people in the future, and these things should be kept properly.

Qingli felt that even if the thief came to steal these heavy things, he would not be able to take them away, but he was afraid that he would be jealous if he was found out, and he would cause trouble for himself. ?But also, if the parents are really greedy for money, they might all kneel down to worship the gods now, and then pack up the second sister and send them away.

It was another difficult night, and Qingli could hear the movement outside in the space. In the next room, the second sister kept turning over on the kang, and then muttered to herself, saying "safe and smooth" and so on.

Qingli couldn't calm down when she was embroidering in the space, so she simply blocked it in the end. Some people are predestined, whether it's good or evil or evil, it's all predestined by heaven, just like her, who can live well in modern times Just like this world.

On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole family put all the unhappiness behind them and became happy again. No one mentioned everything about yesterday.

For dinner in the morning, the whole family ate four flavors of Lantern Festival made by Erni and Grandma Cui, including sesame peanuts, preserved walnuts, red bean paste and red fruit. Unexpectedly, the red fruit was the fastest to be snatched. Xiaozixi just likes this stuffing The ingredients, other flavors are almost unchanged.

"This red fruit is plentiful on the mountain. People in the village think it's sour, and no one picks it. It's delicious."

Niang Liu also ate two of them in a row, and they felt fruity, sweet and sour, although she felt that sesame seeds and peanuts were more fragrant.

"No, you have to add sugar to eat this, and sugar is also expensive, and the villagers don't want it."

A bag of sugar costs tens of pennies. Villagers don’t have that kind of spare money. Even if they have sugar at home, they won’t waste it like this. Those with small children can only eat hard lumps of white sugar that stick together occasionally.

"In the past, even if I was willing, our family didn't have this condition."

Mother Liu feels that life is very comfortable now. Although she is not rich and powerful, at least she can eat and drink well, and the family will soon have income again. There is also light.

The Mo family used to be a powerful family, and many of their ancestors were high officials. Later, they were implicated by the disaster and gradually declined. The clan members were also torn apart. They struggled in Mojia Village. If they had no money, they had no money to study, and then they failed the exam. Talented people.

"Yeah, after dinner, give this Lantern Festival to parents, elder brother and others, and the elder six's family. My second elder brother's family has all lived in the town to look after the yard."

The sixth child that Mo Ruhu mentioned was his cousin, Uncle Mo Liu, and Mo Zishan's father.The second uncle's family is busy in the shop in the town, and they live in the town at night, not in the village.

"I know, we have dinner early at night, and then go to the town to watch the lights, but who stays to watch the house?"

Mother Liu thought of those things in the warehouse and rubbed the center of her eyebrows with her hands. With these things at home, she couldn't feel at ease.

"I'll be at home, you all go to see the lights."

Dad Mo Ruhu is not in good health either, he has been out running for the shop recently, he is a little tired, he wants to take the opportunity to rest, besides, it is cold at night, it will take a long time to watch the lanterns and lion dances in the town, maybe he is suffering from the cold.

"Ah, isn't dad going? I heard that there are people who guess lantern riddles. Dad can guess it for sure!"

Hearing that her father would not go, Qingli was still slightly disappointed, she still wanted to see her father's demeanor.

"Haha, green is better than blue, isn't there your third brother and Xuanzi, they are all knowledgeable! When the time comes, you go to the town, let Che boy, and your cousin, it's lively, I'm not missing."
