Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2489 Borrowing money

Lao Zhoutou and Qian’s are some private houses. I thought that if Dafang and Sanfang didn’t join hands, they would help, but since Manbao took the initiative to lend them, then the two elderly people would not be able to intervene anymore. , Ah, this is also a bowl of water.

The two couples with a flat bowl of water took out their own books and carefully distinguished the above figures. Old Zhoutou said: "I have seen a lot of Zhuangzi and fields. Alas, the land in Beijing is too expensive, and the land in Yongzhou is too expensive. It's cheap, and there are not many people selling land. I think it's better to buy this one in Yongzhou. It's not a Zhuangzi, but a large family sells it for a full 80 mu."

Old Zhoutou took out a note, scratched his face and said, "I asked about five yuan for seven taels of silver and an acre, and he figured it out for me, but I forgot. Anyway, it's more than five hundred taels. With this part of the money, we don’t have much money left. What more can we buy for her?"

  Qian did not understand, but the problem is not big, she said: "Let's buy land."

She said: "The fabrics are rewarded by the palace and the nobles a lot. We can't buy better ones, so we buy two more red cloths and pay for the wedding dress custom-made by the embroidery workshop. Buy her land."

  The house is full of treasures. If you are a shop, you can’t buy a shop in Beijing with this little money, so you can only buy land.

"Zhen Tian is something of the imperial court, and it is not stable. She should still have a few pieces of her own land," Qian said, "Looking back, you are still asking in the area of ​​Yongzhou. When the time comes, you will buy the land and still rent it to tenant tenants. As long as there is land, people cannot be hungry."

  Lao Zhou responded and stood up to another matter, "What do you think the Bai family will give?"

  Qian raised his head and glanced at him, then said: "Anyway, it won't be less."

   "But I haven't seen them buying anything recently. Are they preparing for the bride price?"

   Zhou Lizhong, who walked out of the yard, ran into Zhou Liwei after waiting for his uncles and aunts to return to the house.

   Zhou Liwei blushed and said, “I’m ill-informed first. Now there are too many people in my family, so naturally I have to explain more to avoid misunderstandings.”

  Zhou Lizhong nodded, turned his head and smiled with Zhou Lijun, “I’ll leave this to you, but will it open earlier in September? Shouldn’t it wait until my sister-in-law gets married?”

  Zhou Lijun shook his head, “It’s too late, it’s just in September, and autumn is dry, just use moisturizing cream and moisturizing cream.”

  Zhou Li nodded and frowned. He had the same question as his grandfather, "By the way, is the Bai family preparing for the betrothal gift? I haven't seen anything added over there when I came back several times."

  Of course, Mrs. Liu has started moving people to the newly-buy house since last month.

  Every three to five, she will take Zheng out of the house to check the delivery in the newly-purchased house.

  Let’s talk about the land deeds. The various ornaments, jade, porcelain, and some antique calligraphy and books that she has prepared have also been sent from Longzhou and Qili villages one after another.

  Of course, most of her things went to Qili Village with her when she moved. Only some things were too heavy to take away, so they stayed in the old house in Longzhou.

  She did not expect that Bai Shan would get married in the capital. In order to make the bride price good, she sent someone back to Qili Village to fetch some things, together with some things left in Longzhou, to make the bride price to Bai Shan.

  Don’t talk about other people, the daughter-in-law of Zheng, who was terrified when she saw it, couldn’t help asking, “Mother, do these all make dowry?”

Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, and said, "This is different from the past. Whether it is Manbao or Shanbao, the people they associate with are not low, and there are not many. After seeing this, we have to make some preparations for the future, so Shanbao’s betrothal gift cannot be bad, so that Manbao’s dowry can be supported."

She said: "I know what those people outside think. It's nothing more than the feeling that our Bai family has fallen, and Shan Bao has no father and brother to help him. A little bit. This time, I will let them take a look at the history of the two families."

  The Zhou family has no background, but the Bai family has it.

  Based on Mrs. Liu’s understanding of Zhou’s family, how many brides she gave in the past, I’m afraid in the end, apart from the cash, everything else will be accompanied back.

   And cash money can also be exchanged for other more decent dowry.

  Although these things have changed from Bai’s family to Zhou Man’s personal property after turning one hand, she is just a grandson. Isn’t the grandson’s daughter still the grandson’s?

  Lao Mrs. Liu’s eyes are piercing, and it’s also time for the people in this family to see if their branch is gone, huh.

   and Mrs. Liu were separated by a tunnel. Man Bao from the two yards was crawling over to close the window. After closing the window, she sat cross-legged on the bed to enter the space, and then counted her money.

  In June, Lang returned to Beijing on Thursday and gave her the money for selling gems and spices, most of which was silver, and the rest was copper.

  Manbao didn’t put the copper coins into the space. It took too much space. Generally speaking, she would only put a dozen coins in it.

  The remaining copper coins are placed in the penthouse next to her, which is used as a warehouse by her, and all the belongings that she can't keep in the space are stored in it.

  There are several sacks of copper coins.

  Man Bao went to open the box. Several boxes were filled with silver. There were ingots and ingots with a neat official seal, and there were also a patch of silver that was not neat, but the quality was still good.

  Man treasures are counted. Before counting the money, she wrote a label and put it on the box. In addition, she also has her own account book, so it is easy to know how much money she has.

  She counted, and she was relieved to find that there was a lot of money, so she released the two boxes and threw them in the corner of the wall.

  The next day Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian were called to count the silver quietly.

  Five hundred taels is not light, Zhou Dalang took two large baskets and put them in a lid, and then went home with Xiao Qian’s alone.

  I greeted people along the way. No one knew there was silver in the big basket.

  Man Bao thought this method was particularly good, so he also found two baskets filled with silver and went to Zhou Ligu, "You have to write me an IOU for your father."

   Zhou Ligu was also worried about not having enough money. He immediately nodded when he heard the words, went to see the silver in the basket and asked strangely, "How to put it in the basket?"

   "This is so inconspicuous, no one notices it."

   Zhou Ligu heard this, and immediately lowered his voice and asked, “Sister, can’t you tell your family about this?”

  Man Bao asked: "What do you tell your family to do, just tell your parents."

   Zhou Ligu was entangled, "Can't you tell the third brother, then, the third brother and I are the best, I can't hide a lot of things from him."

   "Then tell him," Man Bao said, "He also owes me money."

  Zhou Ligu was startled, and asked, "How much do you owe?"

   "Just like you, five hundred taels."

See you tomorrow
