Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 271
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the day when Qin Hu and Chrysanthemum got engaged. The whole Qingshan Village was in a state of excitement. There were people who said anything.

Qin Shou got up early that day, put on new clothes, and tidied up extra vigorously. Qin Hu also changed into new kiss clothes, grinning and standing in the yard with eighteen loads of betrothal gifts piled up in the yard. They have to be carried to Chrysanthemum's house.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement today. Those children who didn't go to Qingshan to help, the old women gathered on the road outside the door, waiting to see the betrothal gifts and go out. They were all curious about how much betrothal gifts Qin Hu would give.

I heard that Qin Hu’s monthly money is very high, 30 taels of silver a month, so he can save [-] or [-] taels of silver this year, and work in Qin Shou’s house includes food, housing, and clothing, and clothes are provided all year round. This treatment made many people jealous.

"Tiger, let's go." Qin Shou shouted when he went out, and the matchmaker hurried out of the living room when she heard Qin Shou's voice, and greeted Qin Shou with a smile, her face was full of smiles.

Today Qin Shou specially invited a lot of people to help, don't look at it as a servant engagement, this standard is not low at all, eighteen strong men carried eighteen loads of gifts, and went all the way to He's house, because the two families were separated. It was so close that Qin Shou deliberately walked around Qingshan Village before entering He's house.

Uncle He and He Gen didn't go to work today. They cleaned up and waited at home. When they heard the noise, they came out to welcome them. They were shocked when they saw Qin Shou bringing so many people. , Eight lifts are already considered very advanced.

"Zichang, you, are you too much?" Uncle He asked a little stammeringly.

"Hey, Uncle He, not much. This is my family's wish. I hope Uncle He doesn't think it's too little. Quickly carry it in and set it up." Qin Shou smiled and turned around to have the burdens lined up in He's yard. Open, accept the inspection of the folks.

There is an unwritten custom in rural areas, that is, whichever family has given the bride price will put it in the yard to dry, so that the neighbors can see how much they have given, and it also means showing off. There is light, if there is very little, the face of the host family will also lose color.

Qin Hu's betrothal gift came into play, and there were good things to look at immediately. Someone opened a corner and looked inside. Oh my god, he pointed to the burden and shouted: "There are jewelry inside, a full set of jewelry, made of pure gold." , gold bracelets, gold ingots, gold pendants, etc., my god, that is worth old money!"

This call is okay, Aunt He was frightened, she didn't mind being rude, she leaned over to look at it, her mind went blank for a second, her eyes were almost blinded, she was shining golden, and there was a red pearl inlaid on her crown, She didn't know how much this headdress was worth, but it was the first time in her life that she had seen such beautiful jewelry.

If a woman can wear such a beautiful jewelry in her life, it is worth it!What's more, there is still a whole set in it. Aunt He's eyes are sore when she thinks of this, and she feels happy in her heart. This shows that Qin Shou attaches great importance to Chrysanthemum, and Chrysanthemum will not be wronged if she marries Qin Hu.

This load is so amazing, I don’t know what is in the other loads, someone’s heart is moved, and they curiously lifted the red cloth covering the other loads, peeked at it, amazed in their mouths, but envious and jealous in their eyes , if it's your own.

The more Aunt He looked at it, the more shocked she became. Looking at the [-]-dan betrothal gifts, she was at a loss and wanted to arrange other things, but she was also worried that these things would be taken away by many good people, so she would have no place to cry.

Some regretted letting so many people in. Seeing more and more people gathered, Aunt He found He Gen and whispered something in his ear. He Gen was stunned, moved a small bench and sat on the floor in front of the dowry, his eyes widened. Don't dare to blink.

In addition to the eighteen loads of betrothal gifts, Qin Shou also brought a fan of pork, which can be used to greet the guests. The matchmaker also played her role, saying that the He family's grandma was from ear to ear, nodding repeatedly, and gave the matchmaker a Big purse.

Now the matchmaker was even happier. He took Grandma He's hand and said, "Is your grandson the one who greeted the guests just now? Are you engaged?"

Grandma He was very happy, but when it came to He Gen's marriage, Grandma He's face became sad again. In the past, the old man of the He family was sick, and the family was so poor that they couldn't solve the problem, so no girl wanted to marry.

Later, the old man's body was cured by Qin Shou. Originally, he thought that the family would work hard for a year, and they should be able to save some money to say goodbye, but the weather was not good, and the tax was increased. There was nothing left in the family except food. The matter of root just dragged down again.

The matchmaker had very good eyesight, and when he saw Grandma He's face, he knew that there must be nothing wrong with it, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry, I still have a lot of goods, and I'll introduce you to the two later, so you can choose carefully." Well, as long as you're not picky."

"That's a good relationship, old lady, thank you first." Grandma He's face turned cloudy, and she took the matchmaker's hand and said: "As long as you can introduce Genzi, the thank you gift is guaranteed to satisfy you, old lady, thank you first. "

The two sang and chorused here, and they talked extremely well. Qin Shou sat in the main hall and looked left and right, but he didn't see the chrysanthemum. It seemed that he was hiding. Hehe, the little girl was also shy. Qin Shou had a wicked smile on his face.

Cough, Uncle He saw that Qin Shou's eyes were rolling around, he coughed loudly, pulled Qin Shou and said, "Zichang, when Chrysanthemum marries into the Qin family, she will be yours. Beat and scold, don't give us face."

When Qin Shou heard this, his face darkened. Is he the kind of master who can beat and scold servants?Besides, you can't do that even because of your relationship with the He family. Qin Shou smiled and replied, "Uncle He, you are thinking too much. He is a member of the Qin family when he marries into the Qin family. She is the only one who beats people at ordinary times. If someone dares to beat her, don't worry, Hu Zi is capable, and Chrysanthemum can't lose."

Hehe, Uncle He laughed dryly, looking at Qin Hu.

Qin Hu immediately sat upright, cupped his hands to Uncle He and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely take good care of Chrysanthemum and won't make him suffer."

Qin Shou learned this phrase from Qin Shou. Qin Shou usually talked to Feng Xian'er, and when he talked about Xian'er's father, Qin Shou would call him old man. So Qin Hu thought that this was the custom here, so this dear After deciding, I changed my mind.

Uncle He's face darkened, and he changed his mind to save money. Is this kid smart or simple? Why is he so thick-skinned?

Qin Shou lowered his head and covered his mouth with his fist, snickering, Qin Hu couldn't understand the laughter, and glanced at Qin Shou from time to time.

Qin Shou stopped laughing, and said to Uncle He: "Uncle He, don't let He Gen do the work on Qingshan, let him learn from Huzi at ordinary times, and let him help in restaurants or cloth houses when he has a chance. Farming at home is better, don’t you think?”
