Take a fool to farm

Chapter 21

Xu Wei had a good time in Linyin Academy during this period, the most obvious change was that Master Zhang was finally willing to cast his approving eyes on him.Although he is still unable to jump and walk freely, the diligent and studious spirit of being able to persist in going to school is enough to move Master Zhang.What puzzled the students the most was that Zhao Yang and Wang Bo's attitude towards Xu Wei was a good word, and he was almost enshrined as an ancestor.

"Little brother, this is the juanhua my mother brought back from the magistrate, can you help me bring it to Yuniang!" It used to be a joke to call him brother-in-law, but now he is called brother-in-law.Wang Bo quietly stuffed an exquisite box into Xu Wei's hands, "The silk flowers are all bought by the emperor. Many things are the most popular in the palace this year, and even the nobles wear them!"

"Unmarried men and women cannot teach each other privately." Xu Wei glared at him and threw out the small box, "Forgive me for not doing it!"

"Why is it taught privately?" Wang Bo laughed and flattered him, "She will soon become my wife, and it is an honorable thing for a husband to give his wife a gift!" , Now I use chicken feathers as tokens to teach myself ethics, but for Yu Niang's sake, I endured it.

marriage?This boy who is two years older than himself has no hair yet and wants to marry his second sister. Xu Wei looked him up and down, can he do it?
"I said, Wang Bo, what did you give me?" I don't have anything that girls like. The precious and exquisite things are all knives, guns and sticks. If I want to give these things to Yuanniang, I will break out in a cold sweat.Sometimes, Zhao Yang was really envious that he had a distant relative like the Wang family of the prefect, and when he grabbed the small box and opened it, he said, "Oh, they are all worthless things. There are a lot of them!"

"Don't pretend to be ignorant. This is given to my little sister by the magistrate's wife. I forced it here. If you have the ability, go get some flowers for our aunt!" Bo has been a bit tit-for-tat since he got engaged, not because of anything else, but because of vanity and compares Zuo Chong privately.He even dreamed that his bride would be ten times more beautiful than Zhao Yang's.Thinking of that little girl makes my heart itch, how beautiful the elder sister and second sister she said are as beautiful as immortals!
"Miss, my uncle really cares about you!" Mier held the small box and handed it to Yuniang with both hands: "It's been a while since I tried to get the young master to bring a gift!"

"Stupid girl, this is not a rare thing!" Opening it, the silk flower smiled silently. At the age of 12, he regarded himself as a child. Silk flowers can be bought everywhere, so he sent them here eagerly to please himself. However, it's not bad to have this kind of intention.

"They said it was given by the prefect's wife!" Mier took out flowers and brought them to Yuniang: "It's really pretty, but people are more delicate than flowers!"

"Poor mouth!" Which woman doesn't like to boast, Yu Niang is sweet in her heart, just as the mother said, although the Wang family she is going to marry is a small family, she can't stand her husband. Will climb a tree too!Thinking of this, Yuniang no longer rejects the marriage in her heart: "Mi'er, let's go to the Wufuyuan. Seeing that my sister's wedding is coming up on April 28, ask my mother if she needs my help!"

"It's good to go and have a look, learn from experience, May [-]th is a good day for you!" Madam Huang watched the young lady go out. As soon as the Xu family went out, there were three young ladies. Yuan Niang should also have Yu Niang, Mrs. The only one who kept secrets might be Jiaoniang, but that was impossible, the magistrate's dowry was as much as the dowry, and the Xu family would be hit in the face.

"Mrs. Xu, these are the gift lists prepared by the madam in the mansion!" Xing'er has been with the old madam for many years and knows that Mrs. Lin is a stingy person. Who would have thought that the betrothal gift she prepared for the third young master's marriage was so generous that Ji's acceptance of the gift list was not enough. It's really a joke to lift it all up.

"This elder sister is very polite, the dowry will definitely be brought to the Wang family with Jiaoniang!" Ji slammed her tongue secretly, the master only gave 800 taels of silver, even if you buy some extras, it is only 32 taels, and the 64 taels are indispensable. .The only way is to subtract some of Yuanniang and Yuniang's and add them in.

"By the way, ma'am, some silk flowers that the old lady ordered to give to the lady before I came here are not worth anything, and it would be nice to let the lady send them to the girls and women for joy!" Xing'er got up, and suddenly remembered What beckoned, and the little girl with him handed over a big box.

"Thank you, old lady, for your kindness!" After several rounds of negotiations, Ji knew that the marriage between the Wang family and the Xu family was possible because of the old lady's decision, and she had to do it for her, even sending silk flowers to the young lady.

When Mrs. Ji asked Nanny Zhou to send Xing'er out, no one noticed that Yuniang on the porch tore off the silk flower on her head with one hand, rubbed it vigorously, and stomped it with her feet a few times.

"Miss, these are flowers from my aunt!" Mi Er was very distressed, "What's wrong with you?"

"Only your lady with shallow eyelids wears on her head what other people use to send off girls!" Yu Niang laughed angrily, "I'd like to see what kind of betrothal gifts the Wang family also has!" Immediately raised his foot and walked towards Ji's family.

"Yu Niang, why are you here?" Seeing her second daughter appearing, Ji's face blushed slightly thinking about her dowry just now.

"Mother, it was the third sister-in-law's family who gave you a gift list just now. The magistrate's family must have some good things. Why don't you open my daughter's eyes?" Yuniang went forward and saluted Ji Shi without avoiding it.

"Yeah, these things are easy to accept and difficult to give away!" Ji handed the gift list to Yuniang casually: "Our Xu family has a shallow foundation, your father gave 800 taels of silver, and mother will take the good things I have saved over the years. Take out all the things, and you three sisters can’t share much, and the total does not exceed 1000 taels of silver. However, there are so many things on this gift list, and mother has to find a way to add 64. Yuniang, you and Yuanniang are afraid,, ,"

"Mother, my eldest sister and I are both small families, how can we compare with the third sister's husband's family, let's be close to her first!" Sure enough, she wanted to reduce her dowry, Yu Niang felt very ironic in her heart, instead of letting her say it It's better to sell yourself a good boy.I didn't learn anything since I was a child, but I learned to be duplicity, and learned to play tricks to please my parents.As soon as the words came out, Yu Niang wanted to bite off her tongue. That was a dowry, and it was a major issue related to whether she could gain a foothold in her husband's family!
"Yu Niang, mother's good boy!" Ji Shi hugged her daughter to her chest, and after a while regained her strength: "It's all my mother's incompetence, I wronged the three of you sisters!"

It's all right for me and my elder sister to be wronged, but she got a good family and got so much dowry, what kind of grievance is there?
