Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Jinghe is getting married, and the Xu family is full of joy. It was also the first month of the year, so these little kids took firecrackers and set them off everywhere. The sudden sound startled everyone, but then they recovered and scolded the children with a smile.

"Jing Hui, Wen Rui, you are elders, you are also old, you must control these little guys, don't run around with fire. It's winter, the weather is dry, but you must pay attention to fire prevention." Jinghan went out and warned everyone. "There are also Hongbo and Hongchang. You two are brothers, so you have to pay attention. Do you hear me?"

"Hey, we get it. Second Aunt, you go quickly." Hongbo quickly agreed.

Jinghan then told the boys at home to keep an eye on these children before turning around and entering the house. "A bunch of monkeys."

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month is the day when the man comes to welcome the bride, and it is also the day when everyone adds makeup to Jinghe. Early in the morning, relatives from all the families came. Han's natal family, as well as the natal families of Wanting, Xiuyun, and Yuzhen, also sent people over. In addition, many people from the Lin family and the Yue family came. Now, the Xu family was really full of people in the yard.

Not only the Xing family couple, but also the Xingye couple from the Lin family came over. Ever since Xingye taught him a lesson about playing with his daughter and wife that day, Xingye had taken charge of matters at home. Xingye specially asked Mrs. Liu to prepare makeup gifts, and then everyone came together.

Zhixin and Zhiming are all helping Zhide outside. There are a lot of people coming today, and Wenhan and the others are also helping out in front.

Jinghe got married in the originally quiet and elegant room at the back. At this time, women from various families were here to add makeup to Jinghe. Now that the Xu family's life is getting better, Jinghe is getting married, and these sisters-in-law have brought out a lot of good things. And the elders didn't show any weakness, so just adding makeup for Jing He could fill a whole box.

Mr. Han now understands that he is extremely devoted to his daughter. She said on the spot that she would not keep any of the makeup and let Jinghe take it all away. In addition, the old lady gave Jinghe another 500 taels of silver to put in the box, and Han also gave 200 taels.

In the past few years, Zhide has given his money to Wencheng, which is regarded as a shareholding. He planned to let Wenxing follow Wencheng in the future, passing some medicinal materials back and forth. So Wenxing was asked to follow Wencheng out every autumn. Fortunately, Wenxing has become more sensible in the past few years. Although he has no talent in studying, he can still learn medicine and medicinal materials quite quickly. Zhide felt relieved now.

With Wencheng's help and Zhide's school, Si Fang's life gradually became better. Now that he had given a few hundred taels to his daughter, Mrs. Han didn't feel bad at all.

"Guilan, look at these granddaughters in your family. Each one is more blessed than the other. The Xu family is living a good life. When they get married, each one is more prosperous than the other. Well, this is how you have to live your life. Have hope. ." Xu Chengyuan's wife, Liu, praised with a smile.

Mrs. Chen's face was full of smiles and her heart was full of joy. Her grandsons were all prosperous and their granddaughters were marrying well. She was naturally happy from the bottom of her heart. "Sister-in-law, those in your family are not bad either. Haven't their lives been better over the years? We couldn't compare to what we have now in those days, and our lives will be even better in the future."

Everyone was putting on makeup and chatting, but before they knew it, they were already in trouble. The old lady looked at the sky outside, and then said, "We are done adding makeup. Everyone, please go to the front. The groom will come to welcome the bride later. Let's all go to the front yard to drink tea. No need. How long will it take before the banquet begins?”

So all these older women went to the front yard, leaving only Jinghan and the sisters to accompany Jinghe. After all the elders had left, Jingya and the others casually sat down on the kang, "Come on, take out the bottom of the press box we prepared for Jinghe."

"Sister, you all gave me things just now." Jinghe said with some confusion.

"Silly girl, in front of so many people, we just need to give something away. All of them are actually here." Jinghan smiled and took out a few banknotes from her purse. "Come on, everyone, please bring your money. As sisters, none of us are short of money. Jinghe is our sister, so please bring money."

So, Jingya, Jinghan, Jingwan, and Jingxian each took out some banknotes and said, "Come on, Jinghe, each of our four sisters will add five hundred taels to the bottom of the box for you. As for this, you must keep the private room where you live at your husband's house. You can't take it out at any time, you know? Who knows what might happen in this life, you keep it for emergencies. " Jingya took Jinghe's hand and instructed.

"Yes, you must take the money, even your husband, and don't let him know about it. Women, you have to have a private house of your own. You have to be careful about who you are with, and don't be stupid. Give all the money to your husband, do you understand?" Jingwan also asked.

"Jingwan, why do I hear this? You seem to be talking about me?" Jinghan glared at Jingwan, and then laughed. "Yes, Jinghe, what your third sister said is right. You must not imitate the second sister and take out all the dowry. Now, people are worrying about you."

When Jingya heard this, her expression immediately changed, "What's going on? Jinghan, please explain clearly."

Jinghan was speechless for a moment, so she had to say, "Hey, what else can I do? I've made a lot of money, and there will always be people who care about me. It's okay, Zixuan and I are of the same mind, and my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law are also good people." "Nothing happened. We will go back to Xizhou after grandpa's birthday." Jinghan, her sister, didn't think there was anything bad to say.

Jingya pointed at Jinghan, and then said to Jinghe, "Look, your second sister is a lesson learned from the past. This is something your second sister can do, and others can't do anything about it. Jinghe will have to learn from it in the future, and be more aggressive. Don't let others bully you. This husband is your lifelong support. You respect him, love him, and love him. However, you can't be careless about money matters. ”

Jinghe didn't expect that there would be so many ways to live a married life. Mrs. Chen has said something in the past, but Mrs. Chen is old after all, and the Xu family used to be poor. As long as they had some money in their hands, they would have used it to supplement their living expenses. Jingya and the others don't understand these things about dowry management. Jinghe listened attentively to what the sisters said, remembering every word in her heart.

As she spoke, Jinghan laughed, "Sister, if the groom knew how we taught Jinghe, wouldn't he hate us?"

Everyone listened and laughed. For a moment, the whole room was filled with the laughter of the Xu family's daughters.

"By the way, I brought a few people over from the capital, and they were reserved for Jinghe as a dowry. Jinghe, wait, I'll have them all called." Jingxian I clapped my hands and remembered this. I've been so busy these days that I forgot about this. "Come here, go and call Jixiang and Ruyi who are in my house, as well as Grandma Sun and everyone from the Wang family."

Someone outside agreed and then went out. Not long after, several people came in from outside, including a grandma who was about forty years old, a daughter-in-law who was probably less than thirty years old, and two girls in their grades of twelve or thirteen.

"Jinghe, this Auntie Sun is assigned to you by one of the stewards around me. Auntie Sun is smart and capable. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask Auntie Sun for advice. That is Wang Er. Sister-in-law, together with her husband Wang Er, will follow you. For outside matters, her husband will help with running errands and so on. The other two girls are called Jixiang and Ruyi. , stay with you and serve you." Jingxian introduced Jinghe one by one, and then waved her hand towards Wang Er's family. "Mother Sun, Second Sister-in-law Wang, you two go back and get ready, and then go out with Miss Fifth tomorrow."

Grandma Sun and the Wang family members all came forward to give gifts to Jinghe, then turned around and went out to pack their things.

"Jixiang, Ruyi, you two come here." Jingxian waved to the two girls, "Come here to meet your future master. This is our young lady. You two will serve by the fifth lady from now on. Remember. You are here to serve the fifth young lady. You must help the fifth young lady in everything. If you dare to do anything that is ungrateful or seduces your uncle, I will drag you out and beat you to death. Understand this. Are you done?" Jingxian said a few words.

Today's Jingxian is no longer the little girl she was back then. When she has a straight face, she naturally has an aura that makes people awe in their hearts.

The two girls quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Jinghe. "I have met the fifth young lady. I will definitely do my best to serve the fifth young lady."

Jinghe passed by these people and said, "Fourth sister, this is not needed, is it? How can I still have people to serve me?"

Jinghan laughed at the side, "Silly girl, your husband's family is one of the best in this county. If you don't bring a few dowry girls or servants to accompany you when you get married, how can you do it? Don't worry, It’s been half a year since the New Year, second sister, let me think about it again and help you build a shop or something. By then, won’t it be useful? After all, my husband’s family won’t be able to do it without our family’s manpower. People are caring to you.”

Jinghe was not stupid, and he somewhat understood what the sisters meant, so he thanked Jingxian.

"You, it's best to thank the second sister first. Since the second sister said she wants to help you build a shop, you will get a gold mine in the future." Jingxian said with a smile.

While we were chatting and laughing, in the middle of the night, the sound of blowing and beating came from the front yard. It seemed that the bride was coming. Jinghan and the others were too lazy to go out to see it. As for the groom, he would naturally be able to see it when he returned home in three days. So the sisters stayed with Jinghe in this room, and no one went out.
