Chapter 157

But Shen Ying said that after she died down, she saw that the wending gift sent by Shen Lian's fiance's house was very simple, with only one set of gold and silver head and four pieces of silk and satin. She was afraid that Shen Lian would not be able to pass, so she turned to persuade Shen Lian.

However, Shen Lian was not dissatisfied. She said with a smile, "since my father has decided this marriage for me, there must be his consideration. Besides, being poor has its own advantages. I've been married, and I've got my own dowry to eat, and I've got people's deed of sale in my own hands. I'm finally in charge of my own business. What's wrong? "

After listening to Shen Lian's words, Shen Ying said with a smile, "according to what you say, you are quite satisfied with the marriage?" Shen Lian smiles and shakes her head. "I'm not satisfied. When can we say that we're going to get married? Before long, we'll go out separately. It's not cheaper to see each other in the future. I have a few words to say

Shen Ying is one Zheng "our own sisters, what can't say?" They are the only two concubines in the family. They have been getting along well in the past two years. Shen Lian said, "I think the second sister's eyebrows and eyes are more relaxed than before. I'm really happy for my sister. I'm afraid that my sister can't get out of the dead end like before. After we got married, we didn't depend on our mother's family? My elder sister is no longer stubborn. She goes to be soft with her mother and lowers her head. She doesn't say how she will be in the future, even if she can get some cheaper dowry in front of her. " Seeing that Shen Ying just bowed her head and said nothing, Shen Lian whispered, "if you are not ashamed, you don't think about yourself. Don't you think about your second elder sister's husband? When you have a good relationship with your mother's family, your father is willing to support your second brother-in-law. Husband, wife and honor, second brother-in-law, you can be good. If this has been rigid, the father will look at the face of his mother and brother Hong, and will not take care of you more. When my husband's family sees that you are not allowed to be spoiled in your mother's family, I don't know what will happen. The general's family is the most unruly. "

Hearing that Shen Ying was stunned for a long time, Fang said with a bitter smile, "I grew up in Yuehua courtyard, but I didn't see it as thoroughly as you. It's just that I've broken my mother's heart. I'm afraid she won't forgive me. "

Just as he was talking, Han sent a servant girl to ask them to come.

Two sisters look at each other, or hurry to clean up, together to the Yuehua hospital.

Besides Han, Shen Mingchang is also here. When they finished their salute, Han asked them to sit in the next seat and said slowly, "today I want you to come here for your dowry."

Wen Yan and Shen Ying look at each other, and Shen Ying says with a smile, "these things are all decided by my mother, that is, my third sister and I have no more opinions." Shen Lian nodded and agreed.

Han Xiaoxiao said, "it's hard for you to trust me so much, but I don't know what to say. Since it's your dowry, it's natural for you to know. Because next year is the year of the widow, you two are not young, and your marriage will be in the year before. It's a rule in our house that a common daughter's marriage is five thousand taels of dowry silver. I will keep this money for you to buy headgear, clothes and other things. When your grandfather passed away, each of you left you two hundred taels of gold as a dowry. I thought this would be a box of silver for you. And the head and a thousand taels of silver that your grandmother left you. Because you were young at that time, I collected them for you. You will take them back later. Our income is not bad in recent years. Each of us in the government will give you another house and 500 mu of land in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, your father bought you a 500 mu village in Rehe. As a mother, I'll give you two shops for one person and five hundred taels of silver. In addition, the dowry sent by your husband's family when the time is too big, in addition to snacks, tea, wine and other things, the rest of the silver, headdress and clothing materials are put into your dowry. "

After all, their dowry can be as much as 1780. With the things in their own room, the dowry is not too simple for the common girl.

The two sisters quickly stood up and saluted. Without mentioning it, the husband and wife waved their hands and said, "you don't have to be so polite. You can take all the things in your room. The servant girl around with which a few release to which a few of their own mind to know. If you have any ideas of your own, you can tell them as soon as possible. "

Shen Ying has no idea. The dowry is much more than she imagined. The 500 mu land near the capital is worth 3000 taels of silver. But after listening to Han's words, Shen Lian stood up, gave a salute, and said with a smile, "since mother said so, her daughter is not polite. It's said that my betrothed family doesn't have a lot of money. So far, they don't even have a place to live. Moreover, he has no official position so far. As the saying goes, when you marry a chicken, you marry a dog. Therefore, her daughter thought that she might as well reduce some of the clothes in the regulations and save thousands of taels of silver to buy a small house. When I get married, it's better to live in a small house to save money. "

Shen Mingchang frowned, but Han said with a smile, "if you can say that, I'm relieved. It shows that you understand in your heart, and you are not afraid that your mother-in-law will take you. It's just that you're used to living in our big courtyard, and you can live in a small courtyard with two entrances? "

Shen Lian said, "there's nothing you can't live in. Just get used to it. If that person is capable, he will earn a big house for me in the future."

Shen Mingchang coughed, "you just don't believe in being a father." Shen Lian said with a smile, "naturally I believe in my father."

Han then looked at Shen Ying and said, "what do you think of Yingjie?" Shen Ying shakes her head. "Her daughter doesn't understand this either. It's all up to her mother." Han sighed, "it's just this time. When you get married, I can't think about it any more."

After hearing this, Shen Ying stood up and said, "a daughter is a married daughter and also a mother's daughter. As long as the mother doesn't dislike her daughter's noise, the daughters will often come to visit her mother."

Seeing that Shen Ying was more cheerful than before, Han also breathed a sigh of relief. Now she doesn't want to make any trouble at home. She said with a smile, "I wish you could come back often." As long as Shen Ying doesn't make mistakes, she is happy to be a virtuous and generous mother. She can vaguely detect her daughter's mind and wild hope. Her son is still young. If these common sons and common daughters can help her daughter, then what will she do?

All of a sudden to prepare three dowries, is capable, such as Han is also busy.

Since her son's engagement, Lin's mother has slowly prepared the betrothal gift of Dading. Next year is the year of widows. Both of them are very old. It's better to get married before the new year. Han Di Shi helped to get married on the sixth day of December, and the appointment was set on the second day of October.
