Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Even the father agreed to give the shop to his daughter as a dowry, Zhou Dalang naturally had no objection, so the next day he gave old Zhou Tou a piece of colored silk, turned around and went out to find a matchmaker.

In ten miles and eight villages, not to mention towns, even in the county, there are very few people who will accompany their daughters to a shop when they marry, so the matchmaker went to Dali Village to find the head of the Guan after she had breakfast after hearing Zhou Dalang's words.

The Guan family didn't separate. In this era, as long as there is no enmity, the family can't live on, otherwise they won't be separated.

The rich and the powerful have the weak to rely on the strong, and the strong to use the weak, so there is no distinction.

And ordinary families can't afford to separate, and the labor and taxes after separation are too heavy.

Therefore, persuading people to separate their families will be struck by lightning.

Although the head of the village is the head of the village, they also have to do hard labor, and the tax is not less, so their family is not divided. Haven't you seen that the six sons of the old Zhou family are crowded in two courtyards and they are not divided?

He only has two sons, so there is no rush.

So when the matchmaker came, Guan's family members were all at home.

Chinese New Year is approaching, and those who are not at home in winter have no other place to go. When they heard that the old Zhou's family would give Zhou Lixin a dowry shop in the county town, the Guan family's eyes lit up.

Especially Dafang, who looked at Lichang Guan with piercing eyes.

Li Chang Guan asked the matchmaker, "I don't know what the Zhou family's requirements are for the bride price?"

The matchmaker smiled and said: "This dowry is just as long as it is done according to the rules. According to the old Zhou family, these things will be used for the two children in the future. It's just that the eldest son will go to the county to study in the future, and the eldest daughter of the Zhou family will also go. Running a shop, the young couple are both in the county seat, so it’s not good for one to live in the shop and the other to live in the school, right?”

Chief Guan nodded in thought.

The matchmaker smiled and said: "So what the old Zhou family means is that it would be great if you can buy a house for the children in the county, so that the eldest son can be taken care of while studying, and the shop will not delay."

She pointedly said: "Master Li, the two children are not too young. After getting married, they can't be separated often. It's better to be more stable after giving birth."

Guan Dalang and his wife felt that the matchmaker was right, and they looked anxiously at Chief Guan.

Guan Erlang's wife twisted Guan Erlang.

Guan Lichang pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's not bad, do you know what the Zhou family wants from this house?"

Guan Erlang couldn't help but said: "Father, even if you only have a small entry to the house in this county, it will cost you seventy or eighty taels, right?"

Even if their family was in a good family, it would cost around ten taels to marry a daughter-in-law, and it would cost too much to buy another house.

Guan lichang naturally knew about it, but the old Zhou's family was willing to marry the shop, so he couldn't let the eldest grandson lose face there.

He glanced at his second son, and then said to the matchmaker, "Please ask me what the Zhou family wants from this house."

The matchmaker immediately laughed and said, "Old Zhou's family said that it's just a place to live, and it's fine in the county. It's mainly for the convenience of two children, no matter how big or small, so the Guan family can make up their own mind."

She smiled and said: "I asked carefully before I came, the monthly income of their shop is quite a lot, mainly relying on the income of Zhou Dalang's wife, after the dowry, the shop will still be run by their mother and daughter, so there is no need to worry about business. "

Not to mention the second room of the Guan family, even the eldest room couldn't help but think, then is this shop still a dowry, and what's the matter if it is still run by her natal family?

The matchmaker said softly, unhurriedly: "Master Li is well-informed, so he should know that the restaurant owner mainly depends on the skill of the person who handles the spoon. I heard that their restaurant has only opened in the county seat." In two or three years, the business has been better than some old restaurants."

Li Zhang Guan obviously knew this, and even went to the restaurant to eat. He smiled and said: "The food in their family is good, and my mother-in-law's cooking is really good."

The matchmaker smiled and said: "Isn't it? So with Zhou Dalang's wife here, this restaurant can't lose money. In the future, she will keep the income of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family herself, but she and the eldest son are husband and wife. Where is the family?" Still share it with each other? She can also help out with the eldest son's food in the city, right?"

The Guan family all thought about it.

Studying is the most costly thing. The head of the Guan Li dare not say that all the bowls of water are flat, but the three grandsons are indeed studying, but the two younger grandsons seem to have shown their talent in farming. The head of the village, even their parents have given up a little bit, and plan to do their best to support Guan Yong's education.

Books, pens, ink, and paper are the most expensive things, not counting the various peripheral expenses for studying. If Zhou Lixin's dowry is used as the base, and some help from the side, the family will be much more relaxed.

Now Guan Erlang and his wife have no objection, although the cost of buying a house is quite high at seventy or eighty taels.

Guan Lichang thought more, Zhou's family can even take out their shop as a dowry now, it seems that Zhou Man really brought back a lot of things when he came back from the capital this time.

Otherwise, with Zhou Jin's stingy temperament, how could he be willing to marry a shop as a dowry?

However, what he valued was not the things that Zhou Man brought back, but the people and ability to earn these things back.

How old is that week?

How old is Zhou Zhoulang who followed her out?

The future is still long, and the eldest granddaughter-in-law has such uncles and aunts, who will always take care of them when encountering difficulties in the future.

The corner of Li Chang's mouth couldn't help but twitched, and he sent the matchmaker out in a friendly manner, then turned around and called the eldest son, saying: "Go to the city tomorrow and go to the dentist to have a look at the house, you don't need to buy too much money." , I just bought one with a small courtyard, and finally there is a well in it, so the young couple won’t need to buy water in the future.”

He added: "Choose one that is not far from the county school, so that it will be convenient for Ah Yong to go to school. I remember that their shop is not very far from the county school. It is also convenient for the grandson's daughter-in-law to go to the shop from there."

Of course, it’s not far away. Luojiang County is so big. It takes half an hour to complete a street. How far can it go?

But Guan Dalang agreed happily, buying a house and land is a big deal after all.

"Father, when will you buy this house?"

"Don't worry, our family won't go back on its word. We bought this house and we will live in it for a long time, so we have to choose it carefully, choose it first, and then buy it after the new year." Go to the county school to study, don't worry."

But Guan Dalang was afraid that his father would go back on his word, so he wanted to make a decision earlier, preferably before his granddaughter-in-law came in, so it would look more sincere, wouldn't it?

The head of the village is used to being prudent when doing things, and everything is slow, and it is the same at this moment.

However, the Zhou family was not slow in doing things. The matchmaker gave a letter of approval, so Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang found a time to change the shop to Daya's name before the yamen closed for the New Year.

see you at six pm
