The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 135 Jewelry
Niu Laogen smiled and said: "That's it, our two families don't need a matchmaker anymore, I just go home and prepare some dowry..."

Zhong Gensheng nodded, "There is no need for a matchmaker, but etiquette is indispensable. After two days, our family will send a bride price. The etiquette cannot be neglected. It also shows that our Zhong family values ​​this daughter-in-law."

"That's great..." Niu Laogen smiled gratifiedly and said, "As a quasi-father-in-law, I'm going to have a wedding, haha..."

Zhong Gensheng chuckled softly: "Our family has to hurry up to prepare a new house and make new furniture. Some are busy, haha..."

Both of them were very happy in their hearts, and they drank a little high.

In the early morning of the next day, after Shen Sisi distributed all the base materials to his respective buddies, he followed Dabao and the others to the county town, and He Axiu also went with him. Because he had to prepare a bride price, he had to buy a lot of things.

As soon as they entered the city, they dispersed. He Axiu took Shen Sisi to buy supplies for the bride price everywhere. Shen Sisi was a little absent-minded. She saw He Axiu bought a lot of red cloth and went back, and said with a smile: " Mother, you choose here first, I will go to the bookstore and come over in a while..."

"Cheng..." He Axiu saw that the bookstore was not far away, so she smiled and said, "Don't run around, there are many people in the city, if you can't find you, mother will cry..."

"Got it..." Shen Sisi went into the bookstore in a hurry.

Seeing her go in, He Axiu was relieved, and began to buy a lot of silk thread after bargaining. She was going to let Niu Xiaohua embroider her own wedding dress. New quilts, bed sheets, quilt covers... These have to be produced quickly, and Niu Xiaohua has to work overtime...

But this is a happy event. He Axiu is not a harsh person. Originally, these were prepared by her natal family, but He Axiu always regarded her as a daughter, so she bought it herself. She thought about making a set first and using it when she got married. It's the same for other things after getting married. Anyway, his mother-in-law doesn't pick her reasons, and cares about what to do.

I bought a lot of random ones.

Shen Sisi picked out a lot of books and brought them to Er Bao and San Bao, and smiled at the shopkeeper: "...my brother is getting married, I want to give him a book of erotica, do you have it here?!"

The shopkeeper stared wide-eyed, looked at the flushed face and said in thought: "...Little brother, do you know what erotic pictures are?!"

Shen Sisi nodded, and said with a smile: "...It's for getting married, I know, my mother asked me to buy it." Without hesitation, she turned her head and pointed to He Axiu who was choosing cloth in front of the shop over there.

The shopkeeper was a little speechless, thinking that the child's tutor was really... such a little brat, he actually knew this, he smiled helplessly, although he was slandering in his heart, he would not lose money, just smiled Said: "This one has a collector's edition and a simplified version, which one do you want?!"

"Is there any difference?!" Shen Sisi asked him seriously.

It's not easy to show him the one from the shopkeeper, I just think it's misleading, if an older boy buys it, he will recognize it, but this... is too small, right? !

He smiled and said: "The picture of the collector's edition is very clear. There are 24 styles in the picture, and there are instructions, but it is more expensive, it costs ten taels of silver, and it is still a color picture... The simplified version only has [-] styles, and there is no explanation. , the picture is naturally sketchy, and only two taels of silver..."

Without hesitation, Shen Sisi took out 50 taels of silver and said, "Five copies of the collector's edition..."

"..." The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and he looked at her speechlessly, thinking in bewilderment, why don't you even pay back the price! ?
He felt a little sinful, so he said: "Here, what do you want five copies for?!"

"I have four brothers above me..." Shen Sisi said with a smile, "I also keep a copy for myself..." Anyway, she has a thick skin and looks like a boy, so the shopkeeper treats her as a boy.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper was sweating profusely, he was a little uneasy after collecting so much money, he felt that he had cheated him, and he wanted to counter the price by offering ten taels, but in the end...

After all, he was still a good man, so he couldn't bear his conscience, so he said, "I'll give you some other books, you can choose five..."

"Success..." Knowing that he was making money, Shen Sisi didn't hesitate, picked a few thicker books, and prepared to take them home for the second treasure and the third treasure to read.

The shopkeeper packed the three layers inside and the three layers outside for him, and said with a smile: "...Be careful, don't let others see it."

Shen Sisi smiled at him, and ran away with a large bundle of books.

Only the shopkeeper was left wondering, "...such a young child, how can he understand so much."

Shen Sisi found a secluded alley and put the things into the space, leaving only two ordinary books in his hands, so he hurried to find He Axiu, He Axiu also bought something, and was looking for her everywhere, looking for her When she saw her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Tu Niu, didn't you tell you not to run around?! I can't find your figure, so I frightened my mother..."

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Mother, what can I do, don't say that there are too many things, you have bought your things, let's go buy some rice noodles, and oil, and now we have to fry the bottom ingredients at home every day, and the sesame oil is not enough. I also need to buy sesame oil, as well as spices, various seasonings..."

Counting in deep thought, He Axiu laughed behind her, feeling in her heart that she also likes this little daughter-in-law, seeing how she cares more about this family than herself, He Axiu feels that since she is a daughter, The local girl who is also a daughter-in-law is the most caring. Although she also likes Niu Xiaohua, Niu Xiaohua is still not comparable to Shen Sisi. After all, Shen Sisi is the person she raised by her side since she was a child, so her feelings are naturally different...

Fortunately, they pulled an ox cart when they came, so He Axiu put the bought things on the ox cart, and then followed Shen Sisi to buy a lot of things and put them on the ox cart.

He Axiu looked at the prosperity of the county town and said with a smile: "This is the first time I've come to this county town. I've been to the town before, but it's not as prosperous as here. Things here are actually cheaper than in the town. It's really strange... ..."

"Agricultural products are more expensive than those in the town, but cloth and other things are indeed cheaper, which is not surprising. After all, the things in the town are also sold from the county, so the cost has naturally increased..." Shen Sisi explained with a smile.

He Axiu saw that a tea egg was selling for two pennies over there, so she said with emotion: "It's really expensive. This thing only sells for one penny in the town, but I'm not willing to buy it. I have tea at home. Let's buy some eggs and cook them at home." It also saves money, you can buy two eggs for one penny..."

"Well, if you add some other things, it will become a five-spice egg, which is much more delicious than this tea egg..." Shen Sisi said with a smile: "Mom, let's buy some back, the eggs at home are almost enough, It is possible to buy them in the village, but you can only buy a dozen or dozens of them each time, and they will be eaten up in a few days..."

After all, when she cooks soup now, she has to put some chicken soup in it, even if it is bone soup, so their eggs are eaten very quickly.

"Sure, anyway, I brought a gong basket. I bought eggs and put them in the gong basket, with a cloth under them, so I won't be afraid of breaking them."

Shen Sisi happily went to the market to buy eggs. He bought [-] eggs at once, and bought a lot of vegetables to go home. The weather is not too hot these days, so he is not afraid that the eggs and vegetables will be spoiled. In the cellar, I'm not afraid.

Shopping also took time, and when they were almost done shopping, Dabao and the others finished their work, carrying empty baskets, small benches and tables, and went home with the ox cart.

It was already past lunch time when we got home, but fortunately Niu Xiaohua had already prepared a meal and waited for them. Dabao and Sibao moved their things into the cellar, and moved all the cloths into the house and locked them up before they came out. Have a meal.

"Father, have you eaten?!" Shen Sisi asked in a low voice.

Niu Xiaohua said: "Daddy helped my dad to build a hut. I've already eaten. Eat quickly. The rice is hot in the pot, the soup is also in the pot, and the vegetables are still on the steamer. I'll bring them..."

As she said that, she went away, but her face was red.Dabao also didn't dare to look at Dabao. Dabao also knew that the wedding was about to take place, so he was at a loss what to do. After eating in a hurry, he left the kitchen with a rosy face...

After Shen Sisi finished her meal, she followed Four Treasures to grind the bottom ingredients. Now she has to supply one hundred catties every morning, so she was really busy, and by the way, she sorted out all the spices and seasonings she bought, and put them one by one. good……

Seeing these huge projects, Shen Sisi is really stressed. I really want to build the workshop quickly, but I have to wait for Dabao to get married, and I have to wait for the villagers to finish their farming work and harvest the wheat. Who goes to work? !
Recently, Liu Tugen's family is also actively expanding the pigsty. Niu Laogen is also busy building duck and goose sheds. He is really busy. Naturally, it has attracted the attention of many villagers. Those who wait to see the results, and some who wait to see if they can make money, and those who want to follow suit once they make money, naturally belong to the category with more active brains...

Of course, the Zhong family is still the most noticed, especially the three acres of wasteland in their family sprouted, and it grew bigger and bigger. Everyone thought about it, and just stared at the Zhong family...

Obviously, they are extremely caring, and there are quite a lot of people who are thinking about living.These meditations are clear in my heart, but there are some things that I really can't rush...

After He Axiu finished his meal, he took Niu Xiaohua into the house, turned out all the red cloth, and said, "These are bought for your wedding dress and new quilt and pillow quilt, the custom is to prepare Six sets, but we are not in a hurry with these, you can make one set first and get married, then save the rest and make it slowly, the wedding dress should be more delicate, anyway, there is still more than a month before your wedding, It's enough to think about it..."

Niu Xiaohua blushed and was speechless.

He Axiu dug out all kinds of silk thread again, almost as much as a small bundle, and said with a smile: "This is the first time for our Zhong family to hold a wedding, so of course it couldn't be worse, so I bought a lot of money, this is gold Thread, very precious, you can embroider some on the quilt, pillow, and wedding dress cover, how beautiful?! Hehe, and this is a pattern given by the cloth seller, you can trace it on the cloth and then Embroidery, it will be done after washing it once, there are mandarin ducks playing in the water, a happy marriage for a hundred years, and a full moon, these are all festive patterns, you can embroider whatever you like, make up your own mind..."

Seeing that she was blushing and unable to speak, He Axiu wanted to laugh, so she didn't force her to say anything, but said: "I bought several balls of gold thread, so don't be reluctant. Now at our house, it's also There is no shortage of money..."

As he spoke, he dug out several bolts of better cloth, and said: "This is for making clothes for you, but you don't have to rush to do it, just wait until the wedding date is over and do it slowly, put it under the box and keep it for now." , and these few bolts of cloth are for making clothes for Dabao, I will trouble you to make them, but don’t worry, do it slowly..."

Niu Xiaohua blushed even more, she didn't say anything, she was very coy.

He Axiu took out another pack of buttons, and said with a smile: "This is a new button. I haven't gone shopping for a few years. This is a big change. It didn't exist before. Just sew it on the clothes." , It also saves you from making buttons yourself, and my mother is not reluctant, I bought some for you, bought some for Dabao, you can look at the embroidery yourself, if you don’t like it, let Dabao buy some other styles to come back..."
