The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 54

"A month ago, the old general received a letter from the major general saying that the Japanese invasion has been wiped out, their army will be withdrawn in a few days, and the major general will return to Beijing. Now I think it's almost here."

Shi Chuying's heart was shocked when she heard this!
Chu Xu is back?
She blinked her eyes, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Xiao Meng explained his reason for coming in a few words, then took out a letter box from his luggage, got up and handed it over with both hands, and said: "The clan's residence has approved the marriage of the two families. On the fifth day of the next month, the general's residence will send a matchmaker Come to the door to accept the ceremony and ask for the name. This is a letter written by the old general."

Shi Chuying collected herself, suppressed her smile, took the letter box with both hands, looked it over, and saw the sign of General Zhen Guo's Mansion on the red sandalwood box, and replied calmly: "It must be handed over to the elders in the family."

After talking about the business, Xiao Meng took out a stack of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, "This is the survey map of the Major General's residence in Beijing. If you want to change anything, you can think about it first, so we can follow up." Negotiation changed."

Shi Chuying thought about it but didn't answer it, she turned around a few times, thinking, the two families haven't officially engaged yet, why is it her turn to change their house now?When she is a fool? !Whose idea is this?Don't let her know who it is, otherwise, hum!
Thinking like this, he said in his mouth: "It's not my turn to talk to a girl... I don't know whose order it is?"

Xiao Meng heheed a few times, but didn't answer.Where can he say whose idea?There is no suspicion of provocation.But this girl is not stupid, people in the house heard that the major general is going to marry a village girl who gathers herbs, everyone is eager to see some excitement, hmph, I'm afraid this is also a good person to provoke.

With this incident, Shi Chuying didn't have time to do other things, so she hurried back to the mountain to deliver the letter.

The Taoist priest Wuming read the letter, put it in a box and kept it. After pondering for a while, he wrote a reply letter, sealed it with sealing wax, handed it to Shi Chuying, and said, "Let's go down the mountain in a few days. You won’t be able to stay on the mountain for some time in the future, you need to pack up your things, these three books and six rituals will be busy.”

He stroked his beard again and said, "You should also go over your dowry carefully, and show me the list later. Don't forget to make a few pieces of jewelry, our family is not rich, a few pieces are enough."

Shi Chuying was sitting opposite the Wuming Daoist, poured her a bowl of tea, thought for a while and said, "Then, don't we have overpacked furniture? And is it too early to make clothes for the four seasons? It's already March now , at least not until this time next year?"

Wuming Daoist took two sips of tea and said, "We rely on the mountain, so it's not uncommon to get some good wood and make more furniture.

Gold and silver things are different, how many times have ordinary people seen gold?Even if you sell some medicines, you won't let people know and show off.

We are not a big family, so there is no need to make that face.You should go to the cave and find some things, so that no one will recognize them. "

Shi Chuying now feels that she is indeed the direct disciple of her master, look, she even thinks exactly the same.She thought so too.

"As for the marriage, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until this time next year. You'd better get everything done early! You also have to buy the gift in advance, and I'll leave it to Li San to handle all of these." The Taoist Wuming gave an order, and Shi Chu Sakura quickly responded.

Then he asked anxiously: "But master, can't these dowry be transported back from Jianzhou? Don't they have to be sent to the capital at that time? This tossing back and forth is quite troublesome!"

That's a problem!The brides who marry far away can't compare with the local married people.

Wuming Daoist also stroked his beard, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "When you go to Jianzhou, you will rent a house, and when you have all the things, you can store the dowry there. You put everything in the storage In the bag, just make a show. When the time comes, whether to rent a house from the capital to get married or to marry directly from here will be discussed."

"Well, Tu'er understands. Then I'll go down the mountain now."

Marriage Marriage has been a major event in life since ancient times.For this important event, everyone in the Shi family was too busy to see Ying'er. Since Li San's family couldn't help now, Shi Chuying had to hire four more helpers, two men and two women, from the dental broker.

Li San took his hands to Jianzhou City to buy all kinds of return gifts, dried fruits, sundries, etc. needed in the dowry; while Shi Chuying took his hands to check the already laid furniture, porcelain and other dowry in Jianzhou City After making the list, they will all be put in the temporarily rented house.

In the tailor shop and Jinxiu shop, more than half of the needlework has been completed, and the remaining clothes, screen cores and other fine items have been hurriedly made. Fortunately, there are not many. Shi Chuying only plans to make 5 sets of clothes for each season and 10 sets of inner clothes. , three cloaks and three cloaks, and fur because I have it, but I made 7 or 8 pieces.

There is no shortage of manpower in the two shops, and they can finish the work properly in two months.

Shi Chuying took a few more ingots of gold and silver, and made some jewelry.

Time flew by while Shi Chuying was busy and flustered.
