Chapter 51

After Lu Chengyu's marriage is settled, Lu Tong's marriage is also settled.

Lu Lin was shocked when he heard about Lu Tong's husband.

What Lu Tong decided was the Li family! How could the Li family be?

The Li family, Li Ji, was the one that matchmaker Wang had introduced to Tang. Tang hated that he was a widower and had a child left by his ex-wife. He was very dissatisfied with the marriage. He had a quarrel with matchmaker Wang and made a lot of noise. Unexpectedly, he agreed.

Tang is the most important face, now actually eat back grass, it seems, the situation is not optimistic!

Chen Xiaomi turned his lips and said, "last year, I had to pay taxes. Most of the kids of the right age are afraid of paying taxes and are married." Three Liang silver is still a lot. Like Lu Chengyu, those who prefer to pay taxes rather than give in are a few in the end. "Twenty Liang betrothal gifts can't be taken out by a casual family."

Although Li Ji had a wife and a child left by his ex-wife, the conditions of the Li family are good.

"I didn't expect that Lu Tong would agree." Lulin road.

Lu Lin's impression is that Lu Tong is determined to be an official wife. She actually agrees to marry to be a stepmother. Lu Lin feels that it's unexpected.

Chen Xiaomi curled his lips and said, "she can't agree with me." Lu Chengyu wants to marry the eldest daughter of the town. It seems that it costs a lot of money. In the countryside, he takes the bride back with an animal. When Lu Lin comes here, he uses a door plate to transport it. However, Chen Xiaomi hears that the Lu family is going to do a lot to please the new daughter-in-law's family this time. It seems that the Lu family is going to rent a sedan chair in the town, and the bride price is also indispensable If you want to marry a poor daughter-in-law, just buy some rice, flour, grain and oil. But if you want to marry a young lady in the town, it seems that you have to prepare several kinds of jewelry at the most.

Although the Lu family has a lot of land, in order to support Lu Chengyu's study, they should have little money. At present, if we want to do a big job in this situation, we may have to sell land. The farmers will not sell land unless they have to. It's easy to sell land and it's not easy to buy it back.

About Lu Tong is also to get married, Lu Tong married out to receive the bride price, used to give Lu Chengyu next hire just right.

Lu Lin laughs bitterly and says in secret: the price of betrothal gifts in previous lives is rising. Many villagers live frugally in their daily life. They sell iron and smash the pot for their son's marriage and borrow money everywhere. After the wedding, they leave a lot of bad debts. It's a similar era!

"I heard that the old lady of the Li family is not a good friend."

Lu Lin's impression is that his cousin is very timid and has a great style. If she marries the Li family, it will be very difficult to get along with her. There is a powerful mother-in-law and a child left by her ex-wife.

Although Tang loves this daughter, he seems to sacrifice Lu Tong for Lu Chengyu.

Lu Lin turns to think that Tang doesn't care for his daughter. Naturally, he doesn't have to worry about her. What's more, Lu Tong is not a good person.

In my impression, Lu Tong makes trouble and falsely accuses the original owner. For example, Lu Tong steals eggs from his family, falsely accuses Lu Lin of eating them and makes the original owner kneel. There are many similar things.

Lu Tong is in a bad mood when she stays at home to get married.

Lu Tong is very dissatisfied with the marriage, but she has nothing to do. Compared with other families who come to propose marriage, although Li Ji's family has a boy left by his ex-wife, at least the family's conditions are not bad, and there is no bargaining on the issue of dowry.

There are several families who have come to propose their marriage. They are destitute. Let alone the bride price of twenty Liang silver, they can't bring out two Liang.

Seeing that she was about to pay taxes, the family seemed to be more and more anxious recently. Seeing that there was no one else to propose, they simply agreed with the Li family.

Lu Tong once looked forward to her beautiful marriage. Unexpectedly, she was such a family.

It's hard to be a stepmother. My ex-wife left another son. It's said that the old lady of the Li family doesn't like her son's ex-wife very much. However, she still loves her little grandson very much. If she marries in the past, it's OK to have a little boy. If she has a daughter and two children, I'm afraid that all the things of the Li family will fall on the big boy in the future.

Lu Tong felt upset when she thought about it and wanted to refuse the marriage. However, it was too late to regret that the family had agreed to the marriage and accepted the bride price.

Recently, the family is preparing for the big brother's marriage, and they don't pay much attention to her marriage.

Lu Tong suddenly finds that her family has become strange. Lu Tong becomes silent unconsciously. Many Lu Tong sneaks to the door and hears her mother and elder brother discussing things in the door.

"Need to buy a gold hairpin?" Tang's path of some flesh pain.

Lu Chengyu nodded and said, "because it's a family in the town, there must be one or two pieces of jewelry to hold."

"Don't buy gold," he said In the countryside, it's decent to buy a silver jewelry. Why buy a gold one.

"After all, she's a lady in the town. It's said that when her sister got married, she had eighty-two dowries, three gold ornaments and two carts of silk." Lu Chengyu road.

Tang sighed and said awkwardly, "isn't he the master who married me? We don't have to compete with the master! "Lu Chengyu gritted her teeth and said, "even so, it can't be too bad. It makes people feel that we are poor. Fangyue's family doesn't lack money. They should bring back our dowry as a dowry."

Tang's clenched teeth, way: "this wants to prepare banquet, also want so big ostentation, I'm afraid silver is not enough!"

Lu Chengyu pursed her lips and said, "I can't do it. I can only sell a few mu of land first."

Tang frowned and said, "the land has just been planted with crops. It's not worth selling at this time. There's no way to do it. I'll buy it when I get into the scholar's college." Lu Chengyu gritted her teeth.

When Lu Chengyu went out two days ago, she met Chen Jing. Because of what happened before, they had become enemies.

Lu Chengyu has always looked down on Chen Jing, but he didn't expect that Chen Jing was admitted to Tongsheng. Chen Jing was very rude when he met Lu Chengyu. He said frankly that both of them are now Tongsheng. If Chen Jing's luck comes, he might be admitted to Xiucai first. Lu Chengyu thinks that Chen Jing's saying so is an insult to him.

Tang Shi narrowed his eyes and said: "Chen Xiaomi's family has a lot of silver. If you can borrow some, you don't need to sell the land."

Lu Chengyu shook her head and said, "forget it, Chen Xiaomi is a tough man. If he comes to make trouble, it will not affect the marriage."

The fact that the Lu family took Lu Lin out for ten liang of silver is not very glorious. Lu Chengyu is still very fond of fame and doesn't want to cause more trouble at this time, so as not to spread it to his brother-in-law.

Tang bit his teeth, some reluctant to, and vaguely feel cheap Lu Lin.

Lin Xiuer stayed at home, a little depressed and sighed.

Cheng Yu is so pompous when she marries a wife. There are twenty tables for the banquet. What do you want to invite so many people for? At the beginning, when Lu Linru gave Chen Xiaomi a piece of door, he didn't carry it out.

Lu an took a look at Lin Xiuer and said, "how can Lu Lin compare with Cheng Yu? Cheng Yu is a scholar. Naturally, there are more rules."

Lin Xiuer stuffy way: "all read so long, still didn't pass the examination scholar, this all spent the family how much silver." It's not as good as Lu Lin. Lu Lin has worked for his family for so many years, and he has earned ten Liang.

"It may be easier for Cheng Yu's daughter-in-law to pass by and have the relationship with the master." Lu andao.

Lin Xiuer sighed and said, "I hope so. How many betrothal gifts does Cheng Yu plan to give?"

"About thirty Liang." Lu andao.

Lin Xiuer gritted her teeth and said, "thirty Liang, this is to kill people!" Lu Lin's family will be redundant, Lu Tong married off, just got thirty Liang, Lu Chengyu married a daughter-in-law, full compensation is not enough.

"Thirty two are dowry, cloth, jewelry, and other things. I'm afraid..." Fifty Liang couldn't get down. The old man discussed with him and hoped that he would advance three months' wages. Lu an was afraid of giving a bad impression on him and refused.

Lin Xiuer clenched her teeth, and some worries flashed in her heart. The background of her new daughter-in-law is big, and the posture of her family seems to be that she wants to give up the girl. A Tang family is hard enough. If this woman enters the door, she will not only see the face of Tang family, but also the face of her new daughter-in-law.
