Chapter 187： Recruitment

Zhou Shuren called Zhulan's soul. When she woke up in the morning, Zhulan felt much better, at least not so empty. She was reluctant to get up in Zhou Shuren's arms. Feeling Zhou Shuren's body temperature, she felt very fortunate. The environment is accompanied by someone, if she is alone, she will not slow down so fast.

Zhulan stretched out her hand and played with Zhou Shuren's fingers. Zhou Shuren's fingers were clearly articulated, and she could still feel the calluses holding the pen. It could be seen how hard Zhou Shuren had worked. Zhulan lifted Zhou Shuren's hand and compared her own, showing that her hand was really small. .

Zhou Shuren was thinking about Zhulan in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well all night. When Zhulan moved, he woke up. Seeing that Zhulan was energetic and compared with him, he put down his heart and put his other arm around him. He took Zhulan's waist and put it in his arms, his voice was soft and tired, "Awake? Are you feeling better?"

Zhulan's heart twitched, and she smiled, "Well, it's much better."

She knew that she had dreams, one dream after another, and then she stopped dreaming and slept soundly. This is all due to Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren had Zhulan's hair on his chin and his arms were tight again. He really didn't expect that one day he would have love. In modern times, he didn't believe in marriage. He was going to be alone for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, once he was transmigrated, he became a father, had a daughter-in-law, and believed in love. He never told Zhulan that he thanked Zhulan for saving him and not letting him transcend alone. , Fortunately, with her, with her, in ancient times his heart had a place to rest.

Zhulan just thought, "It's too tight, do you want to strangle me?"

Zhou Shuren chuckled lightly, the atmosphere just now disappeared, and his hands relaxed, "Is it better this time?"

Zhulan exhaled, feeling comfortable this time, nodded, thinking of Chang Lian and said, "I'll go to the official media today, but Dong Chuchu is the lady of the county magistrate's family, how can we get the dowry?"

This is a worrying thing. Before the county magistrate did not take the imperial examinations, the Dong family was born as a landlord. The family had money, land and a shop. Later, he became a juren, and his family property was even thicker. Therefore, the county magistrate is not short of money, and it is difficult for their family to give a betrothal gift!

Zhou Shuren was also worried, "Our family's foundation is weak, and people won't feel too much if we give too much, and the Dong family will be shameless if we give less, and we have four sons. It is inevitable that there will be no lumps, no matter what, it is currently a common property."

Zhu Lan felt exhausted again, "I spent a lot of money in Pingzhou, and a lot for gifts for the county magistrate. At present, I have a total of 750 taels of silver and a dozen taels of silver. In a few days, you also said that if you buy some more fields, you will also save the daily necessities of the family. How much money do you think is appropriate to take out as a dowry?"

Zhou Shuren thought for a while, "The dowry should be 200 taels, and other dowry gifts should be well prepared, and it won't be too small."

Zhulan was surprised, "Two hundred taels!"

This is not a small amount!

Zhou Shuren sighed, "The county magistrate has inquired about our family clearly, too little is not good, anyway, the county magistrate doesn't know how much money our family has, and the two hundred taels should be the county magistrate's guess, why we just bought it. With the house and shop, I can’t hide my expenses in Pingzhou, and the county magistrate estimates that we can spend 200 taels as well, but the plan to buy land this year is shaky.”

Zhulan knew that Zhou Shuren had a lot of heart, and took out two hundred taels of betrothal money. Zhou Shuren talked about his greatest ability. The county magistrate would still feel a loss when he gained face. No matter what, the county magistrate looked at the Zhou family first and thought that Zhou Shuren has taken out all his family assets, so he will naturally be very attentive to Zhou Shuren. This man has a lot of heart like a beehive, and he will not suffer anyhow.

Zhulan turned her head sideways, "The dowry has been resolved, do you want to tell the eldest and second eldest, and Chang Lian, don't let him get too carried away, as if we gave 200 taels of dowry, and the family counts on him in the future."

Zhou Shuren smiled, "Don't worry, I'll cut Chang Lian with a knife after the meal, I will definitely not let him float."

Zhulan, "...En."

The two of them lay down for a while before they got up. The breakfast was ready. Zhulan specially explained that the porridge was boiled in a newly bought clay pot for breakfast. Zhulan drank the porridge and ate the pickles, and finally did not think of nausea. When there is food, people also have spirit.

After dinner, Zhou Shuren called several sons, but Zhulan didn't listen. She wanted to change and pack herself up, and went to the county town to find the official media.

When Zhulan was ready to come out, she saw that Chang Lian went out to the family study in a trance, feeling quite frightened, Zhulan pulled Zhou Shuren, "Look, Chang Lian was frightened, what did you say?"
