The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 137
Zhong Gensheng responded with a smile before disappearing at the gate of the courtyard.

Only then did He Axiu go back to the house joyfully, refreshed by happy events, Shen Sisi only felt that the Zhong family and his wife were so smiling that their smiles were close to their ears.

When Zhong Gensheng came back, he still had a jug of wine in his hand, with a grin on his mouth, he said with a smile: "I told Lao Gen, he said he would come over after finishing his work..."

He put down the wine, looked at He Axiu and said, "The carpenter said that their house has some ready-made good wood. He means that we use it and pay according to the market price. He keeps it as long as he keeps it. The children are still young." , when the child gets married, he will buy it again..."

He Axiu said happily: "This saves our worries, and saves us from going to the market to find these, which are extremely difficult to find..."

"Yeah..." Zhong Gensheng said: "We don't know much, we don't know the goods, and we have no way to buy them. We don't know where to buy them, so this is our luck... Haha..."

"That's actually..." He Axiu said with a smile: "What style do you choose? They can say when it will be ready. It must be before getting married. After all, it's not too early..."

Zhong Gensheng smiled and said: "The date I told them, they will be rushing to work, and now it is not busy, don't worry, they will do it well, the style, it is a good match for a hundred years... They are used to it, you Are you afraid that they won't be able to complete it?!"

Only then did He Axiu feel relieved, and said with a smile: "You can't blame me for being so nervous, this is the first time our family is marrying a wife, am I not happy?!"

Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "It's the truth. I'm also happy in my heart, so I was in a hurry. They just smiled and agreed, and they were very happy. The wages I gave them are not low..."

Besides, the last time their family found them for furniture-making, they got a lot of wages, so they were naturally more happy this time, thinking that the Zhong family still has several children, and there will be more opportunities to find them for furniture-making in the future, so how could they not be unhappy? Yes, I just want to get things done as soon as possible.

In fact, there is still one month before March 28, but the furniture in ancient times was not as easy to make as today’s furniture. At that time, it was slow work and careful work, so the two carpenters are rushing to do it now, and it is indeed a bit rushed...

After it is done, it needs to be brushed with tung oil and let it dry for a while, so this work is quite urgent.

But this kind of craftsmanship does make things durable, strong, delicate, beautiful, and has a sense of simplicity.In modern times, this kind of craftsmanship has long been lost, and the infiltration of Western furniture styles has already left these crafts with no room for survival. The only things that exist are unearthed or passed down from family... This is called history.

When Niu Laogen came to drink in the evening, both Zhong Gensheng and him were more happy, and they got drunk after drinking. They also discussed some things by the way, such as giving the bride price in two days.

But, Niu Laogen didn't care about this, so he didn't ask what the Zhong family gave him at all.

Instead, he cared about what he had to prepare for his dowry, so basically the two of them had nothing to discuss, so they drank and chatted, and this matter was over...

When Niu Laogen was sent home by Sibao, he was already drunk, but he was very happy, and he was still talking nonsense.

As soon as Sibao sent him home, he handed him over to Tian Guihua and ran away.

Tian Guihua helped him into the house, but she was not in a good mood. She frowned and said, "...you said, why is the Zhong family so eager to marry Xiaohua? It can't be..."

She immediately thought of the unbearable place. Could it be that she and Dabao were messing around, what happened? !Or is Niu Xiaohua already pregnant? !

Although Niu Laogen was happy, his heart was not confused, he frowned and shouted: "...you old woman, what nonsense are you talking about?! Have you ever said that about your own daughter?!"

Tian Guihua froze, seeing Niu Laogen staring at her bitterly, she hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm not worried, Lao Gen, don't be angry, it's just that this matter is too urgent, I can't help it." I just think too much, and I'm afraid that Xiaohua will suffer... Besides, there are some gossips in the village, if it's what I think, Xiaohua..."

It's okay not to mention this, but when this is mentioned, Niu Laogen recalled the past, glared at her bitterly and said, "It's not because of you..."

Tian Osmanthus paused immediately, not daring to speak any more.

Niu Laogen vented his anger, and knew that it would be meaningless to pursue this matter further, so he suppressed it and said in a good voice: "... Dabao and Xiaohua are not this kind of people, you think too much, the Zhong family The reason why they are so anxious is because they want them to get married as soon as possible and live a good life. The Zhong family will not treat Xiaohua badly. They treat her better than your own mother, hum..."

Tian Guihua paused again immediately, and sighed for a long time: "...I regretted it a long time ago, why do you always talk about it, it's just..."

She began to weep again and said, "It's just that there is no daughter who does not go back to her natal family after getting married!? There is no one who does not go out to marry from her natal family... If the village finds out, it will start gossiping again. When the time comes, you will let my dear How can I be a mother?! No one will just say that I treated my daughter harshly, how can I live, woo woo..."

Niu Laogen also knew that this matter was unjustifiable, especially when she told Tian Guihua at the beginning, she was already in a daze. Don't mention that Tian Guihua couldn't justify it, Niu Laogen felt uncomfortable, but... Xiaohua chose to do this, and she hated it. Seeing this mother-in-law, Niu Laogen also felt guilty and blamed his old wife, so he naturally followed his daughter's thoughts, but after hearing what Tian Guihua said, he also felt regretful and uncomfortable.

"The etiquette is not complete. I have never seen a daughter married like this..." Tian Guihua cried: "Just don't mention how I am, just talk about Xiaohua. If you go out to marry someone like this, you will be punished by the Zhong family." Underestimated, being underestimated by the villagers, as a mother, don’t I feel more distressed and guilty?! Lao Gen, I still want to mention it again, or you can discuss it with the Zhong family. Last time I said, You still hit my nose with ashes, now you have to think about it..."

Niu Laogen was silent for a while, but it was hard to say that Xiaohua insisted on this, but he just comforted her and said: "Don't think too much... This matter has already been settled, so there is no reason to talk about it again. Our family got married and got married directly at Zhong's family, the result is not the same..."

Tian Guihua knew that she couldn't talk to him, and she hated him deeply, but she could only cry hypocritically.

Niu Laogen sighed, fell down on the kang again, and said in a low voice: "... If you feel guilty, if you are afraid of Xiaohua being wronged, you should worry more about the dowry, give her something good, and let her be happy." If she can get a foothold in Zhong's house, she can't get nothing from her mother's house, don't mention you then, I won't be able to face it, Xiaohua will feel even more uncomfortable..."

When Tian Guihua heard him mention this again, she hated her deeply. Asking her to pay for it was even more uncomfortable than digging out her heart.

She stared at Niu Laogen lying on the kang with his eyes closed and fell asleep with hatred, and she wished to kick him off...

Dowry, marry with a fart.Do you want to accompany her with all her pension money? !
How can she be willing? !
If Niu Xiaohua doesn't go back to her natal family to get married, then wouldn't she have no bride price? !The Zhong family got it all, and will give a gift? !

But there was no betrothal gift, and Niu Laogen wanted to marry as a dowry. Last time, she got 20 taels of silver and left. She already hated it, but now it's good, and she's going to bleed again.

But Niu Laogen just didn't mention that Zhong's family would give a bride price in two days, so Tian Guihua felt very uncomfortable these two days.

Two days later, when the dowry gift from Zhong's family arrived, she showed a full smile, her eyes full of calculations.

This is a good thing, the bride price came, but Xiao Hua didn't come back, so she can choose some cheap dowry from the bride price, and the rest...she gets it all...

It's just that she has a good plan, but how can Niu Laogen agree? !

The last time I went to the city, He Axiu had almost bought the part of the dowry, Zhong Gensheng went to the city again, and bought all the parts that were not bought, and it was the day when I picked all these invitees to Niu's house and go...

The party attracted the attention of the villagers frequently, and there were a lot of adults and children watching the excitement.

Zhong Gensheng didn't care, he didn't invite a matchmaker, so he could only come to the door in person.

Tian Guihua saw that the Zhong family had picked out so many things, so she invited people in with a smile on her face, poured tea for them, and called Niu Laogen back.

Niu Laogen went to work on the shed, and he couldn't be idle for a moment. After hearing the news, he hurried back and said, "...Gen Sheng, why is it so early?!"

"It's better sooner than later..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "We don't pay much attention to other ceremonies, but these can't be saved, so I didn't invite a matchmaker. I will come to see you off in person..."

"That's a good thing." Niu Laogen was not that brainy after all, he invited the gift givers to drink tea and eat some melon and fruit snacks before sending them out with a smile.

The custom here is that those who give gifts must never stay for dinner, so everyone is very conscious, chatting and laughing, drinking some tea, and then voluntarily left. Although they cannot have a meal at Niu's house, these challenges Those who took the burden once can have a thank-you meal at Zhong's house. They are extremely happy. Compared with Niu's house, they are naturally more willing to eat at Zhong's house. The taste...is really nothing to say.

Zhong Gensheng took them home with a smile. Naturally, he entertained them with all his heart, but he was happy in his heart. In addition, the people around him said a few compliments. In his heart, because the eldest son was about to get married, he was very happy...

Start a family, start a business, start a business, get married... Which father doesn't want his children to live happily and have a livelihood? !And these have already been in the family, Zhong Gensheng can be said to be satisfied now, facing the congratulations from everyone, whether sincere or false, he is extremely happy.

As soon as Zhong Gensheng left, Tian Guihua began to look at the dowry gifts. When she saw the box in the middle with a total of 50 taels of silver, the corners of her mouth burst open, and she hurriedly put the money away. put it away...

Niu Laogen frowned when he saw it, and said: "...What are you doing with this!? Put it down, it will be used as a dowry."

The corner of Tian Guihua's mouth froze, her thoughts moved, and she persuaded with a smile: "I just took it for Xiaohua, where did you think?!"

Only then did Niu Laogen soften his face, and said with a smile: "It's fine, but you can take it away, and then you will have to pay for it. Also, you have cut all the red cloth, and your wives Let's make a few quilt covers for our daughter together, and play some quilts together, and we will have to pay for it together..."

Tian Guihua froze, she didn't care about these things, but why... had to work herself and her wives to do these things?And cotton, don't you have to buy it, don't you need to spend a lot of money? !

This Niu Laogen is too kind to his daughter.She was thinking of a way to refute, but Niu Laogen smiled again and said: "Let's get some more money and get some jewelry for Xiaohua, it's almost done, and it's considered decent, haha..."
