Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 163
Mrs. Fang is at home, leading people to make a dowry for Chuntao.The quilts were not finished yet, and Mrs. Fang escorted four bedding and four coverings.Bilian sent people to bring a lot of good materials, as well as quilt linings and so on. Fang picked out the best ones to make quilts for Chuntao, and put the rest in the dowry.

Today is already the tenth day of the winter month, and we are only five or six days away from getting married.The betrothal gift was sent on the sixth day of the lunar new year. On the day when the betrothal gift was given, members of Tong Shiwang and Tong Shiming's family came to join in the fun, even Mr. Tong and the Qin family came.This is a happy event, so Fang's naturally can't say anything, so he can entertain him as he pleases.For the Qin family, the Fang family did not try to please or anything, and treated them like villagers.This really angered the Qin family. Seeing that they were about to start a fight, Tong Shiwang glared, "Ah Rong, today is a good day for my grandson to give a bride price. If you can't control your wife, please lead her away. Don't disturb the good things for me."

Mr. Tong repeatedly agreed, then pulled Qin Shi aside again, and after a long pause, he stopped.Fang Shi naturally served these people with good food and drink, and when they were gone, Fang Shi called Chun Tao out. "Chuntao, this is a bride price gift from Junxiang's family. I checked the list, and there are a lot of things. After you get married, you can live a good life with Junxiang. Their family is good, and they can't treat you badly. This I'm relieved. In addition to giving you those things, Bilian also gave you 20 taels of silver as the bottom of the box. I'll give you ten taels, and with these 30 taels of silver, you have confidence." 30 taels, but a Not a small amount.

"My servant thanked Mrs. Xue and Grandma Xue for the reward. Although my servant is married, if my wife has anything to do, you can order this servant, and this servant will die." Chuntao knelt in front of Mrs. Fang.

"It's unlucky for you to die. It's a great joy to get married. You should cultivate your spirit these few days and get married beautifully." Fang helped Chuntao up, "You are the first one in our family to marry. The girls who go out have to make a good appearance for Chunmei and the others. We want to get married in a good and prosperous way, and live a prosperous life, so that those who look down on you will be envious."

"It's the servant who listens to the wife." Chuntao got up and wiped her eyes.

"Okay, let's hurry up these few days and get all your bedding done. I'll find two more people to help and make it quickly."

Fang called Chunsheng's daughter-in-law, Zhao's daughter-in-law, Zhuzi's daughter-in-law and Shuanzi's daughter-in-law over to make quilts at home.Today is the third day, and I have done almost the same, only two quilts are missing.Fang was busy in the house, when she heard someone calling her mother outside, she knew that Yuxian might be back, so she hurried out to have a look.

Yuxian ran all the way from the front yard to the back, just in time to meet Fang. "Mother, I'm back, I miss me so much." She threw herself into Fang's arms all of a sudden.She had never been away from her mother since she was a child, so she had been away for more than a month, so she couldn't imagine it.Fang was happy holding her daughter in her arms. "Quickly, let mother see, have our Yuxian lost weight? Hey, I'm not thin, but I'm getting fat. It seems that I don't miss mother too much." Fang was playing with her daughter.

"Mom, you don't even know that I'm in the car, I eat and sleep, and I have no place to move around. How can I not be fat? Brother Haoyu has gained a lot of weight." Yuxian put her arms around her mother's neck and did not let go. Shi had no choice but to pick her up, when Haoyu also came in, "Haoyu, come on, let's go inside." Fang hugged her daughter and led Haoyu into the house.

Everyone who was making quilts in the room stopped what they were doing, and pulled Yu Xian to ask her how she was.After a while, Da Lang and the others, Yun Song and Fang Yun also came in.Naturally, they lifted and hugged, and brought in all the things they brought back.Fang hurriedly sent all the things to the east room suite, Yuxian followed, separated who sent them, and then handed Fang Xin and Haoyu Niang's gift list to Fang.Fang didn't have time to take a closer look, so he directly locked it in the cabinet and looked at it later.

"Brother Yun, this trip has been hard for you, and it's enough for you to lead two children." Fang turned around and said to Fang Yun.

"Sister, these two are very obedient. They didn't cause any trouble. Thanks to Yuxian, they solved a lot of problems this time." Fang Yun smiled. "Sister, I won't delay here. I have been out for more than a month, so I have to go back and have a look. The two coachmen sent by Hao Yuniang just troubled my sister to entertain them for one night, and they have to go back tomorrow." Fang Yun's note Ji Shitang wanted to go back first.

"Success, you go back and get busy first. Don't worry about the two coachmen, I will make arrangements. On the fifteenth day of the winter moon, remember to come and have a wedding wine. Chuntao is going to get married." Fang knows that Fang Yun has a lot of things to do, so They didn't keep him, and let Yun Song and Da Lang go out to see Fang Yun off. They couldn't leave by themselves, because there were still so many people in the room.Then she ordered Chunmei to tidy up the front wing and give it to the two coachmen.

Everyone seized the time to prepare the quilt, and Fang arranged for people to cook a lot of dishes to entertain the big guys.After dinner, the daughter-in-laws all left and went home, so Fang had the time to have a good chat with her daughter.

Dalang and Yun Song accompanied the two coachmen for dinner, and then they all ran to the back to listen to Yuxian and Haoyu's stories on the road.Yuxian and Haoyu talked a lot with each other. When it came to the prosperity of the capital, Xiaosan and Xiaosi couldn't help it, and they all asked to follow them to Beijing next time.Boyuan and the others didn't feel much, after all, they had been there before.Later, when he talked about meeting the robbers when he came back, everyone couldn't help but sigh, the world is really getting more and more chaotic.

"We don't understand the affairs of the imperial court. But these robbers are left alone, and we can see that the current situation may not be good, and no one cares at all. I really hope that the matter of the crown prince can be settled quickly. Otherwise, I don't know how long the chaos will last." Fang sighed.

"That's right, my little uncle also said that now several princes are fighting for the reserve position. There is only one third prince who was taken to the northwest border and did not participate in the dispute for the reserve. Now Officials from all over the country have turned to the prince one after another in order to become a hero in the future." Yu Xian relayed Fang Xin's words.

"Okay, we don't understand and don't need to understand the affairs of the imperial court. We just need to farm the land well, as long as it doesn't spread over our heads, and we can live in peace and stability." Yun Song didn't understand these things , waved his hands and stopped talking. "Okay, I think Chuntao's dowry is almost ready. Tomorrow the boys will come into the mountain with me. We have to hunt some prey for Chuntao to marry and hold a wedding ceremony." Yun Song has already cleared out the surrounding forest. Alright, I'm just taking a break.

The boys were also very happy when they heard it. They haven't gone hunting in the mountains seriously this year.In the boy's blood, it seems that he is born with a restless and adventurous factor.So they all went back to rest early.

Yuxian and her mother took out the gift list and read it over.Haoyu's mother sent a lot of things, from clothes and fabrics, to pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and some high-end porcelain.There are so many things, I wrote several pages, and finally there is 1000 taels of silver.When Fang saw it, she felt a little uncomfortable, "This Haoyu's mother is also, just send so many things, why did she send money? She is a woman, and she lives in Zhuangzi. It's more difficult. If you take out so much money, how can you live this day?"

"Mother, maybe Brother Haoyu's mother felt that Brother Haoyu was at our house and caused us trouble, so she gave it to us. It doesn't matter, we just have to give her some good things when we have a chance in the future. Besides, Brother Haoyu's mother is not an ordinary person, she still has a lot of property in Beijing, and although she is in Zhuangzi, she is doing well." Yuxian persuaded her mother. "Furthermore, the two families were not related at first, but now they are considered relatives because of Master. We should have walked around more, gifts and so on. Although our family is not good, it is always on our minds."

"What you said is true. In fact, this is not a relative, so it is not necessarily worse than relatives. Those who are originally relatives, if they are not easy to get along with, are worse than this outsider. You don't know, a few days ago, sent On the day of the bride price, your grandma acted like we all owed her. If your grandpa hadn’t said a few words, there would have been another riot that day. Oh, I really want to keep them far away and not see each other. But they are closer in blood than your great-grandfather, how can this be for sure?" Fang sighed again.

Yuxian really doesn't know what to do about this matter, she stays far away, and doesn't communicate with her on weekdays.But when something really happened, if they came to the door, would they still be kicked out?This is a serious relative, it's really wrong. "Mother, we just need to avoid dealing with them on weekdays, there is no other way."

"Everyone says to stay away, but they can't stop them from coming here. Yun Bai and his wife came to our house the other day and said they wanted to borrow 100 taels of silver to open a shop in the town. Your father didn't borrow it, so he kicked them out." Fang said it was helpless. "Fortunately, your father is still stubborn and ignores them, otherwise, this day will be quite noisy."

"Well, Daddy has done a good job, so it has to be like this. With less than [-] acres of land, it is enough to support their family. If you raise some chickens and pigs, you can also earn ten taels of income a year. Brother Junjie and the others also Are you afraid that you will not be able to live well when you grow up and can work? Go to the town to open a shop, thanks to their thinking, I am afraid that the amount will not be enough to compensate." Yu Xian curled her lips.

"No, man, as long as you work hard, there is nothing wrong with it. I'm afraid that if you don't want to do anything, you just wait for the pie to fall from the sky." Fang also laughed.

Yun Song went out to look around, locked the gates, and then returned to the room.Yuxian took out a purse from her body, and put a stack of bank notes in it. "Father, mother, this is the money for selling snow clams. I sold 9000 taels in total, and I left 2000 taels for Shunzi. After all, he helped sell them. So there are 7000 taels left. I bought some things and spent It’s quite a lot, so there should be 500 taels left. They are all bank notes, so they are easy to carry. When you need them, just go to the town to exchange them.”
