Chapter 159 Tian Tian’s betrothal gift
"Mom, are these things missing as betrothal gifts?"
Looking at the two inconspicuous boxes, Tian Tian was a little hesitant. Aren't the ancients very particular about marriage? There are always sky-high betrothal gifts and sky-high dowries.
Tian Tian was still thinking of hiring Wu Shengnan to gain face. How could she earn such a small amount?
"You don't understand this. There are rules for the amount of betrothal gift and dowry. We commoners can't have more than six dais at most. Scholars can't raise more than 16 dais. Princes and ministers can only have 36 dais. Only the royal family can have ten li of red makeup. !”
The old lady was telling Tian Tian the so-called rules while packing her things.
"Six betrothal gifts? Our family only has two betrothal gifts. Isn't it a little too little?"
It was his identity that was causing trouble again. Tian Tian felt a little weak and couldn't fight!
"It's quite a lot. We can't exceed the Wu family's dowry, right?"
If the betrothal gift exceeds the dowry, the Wu family will be laughed at, so the old lady specially prepared two dowry gifts.
"Don't put these in a box. Can't we just let the nieces and nephews hold them when the time comes?"
If it's not packed, it won't count. Tian Tian has to work hard to build momentum for Wu Shengnan.
"Okay, okay, but you can't put nothing in the box, right?"
The old lady was in a dilemma. These were the same things when she married her husband. Almost every household in the village had the same things, and she didn't know what to add.
"I'll pretend!"
Tian Tian waved his hand, and both boxes were filled with gold and silver.
"That can't be done!"
The old lady didn't know where Tian Tian got so much money, and she didn't dare to ask.
"Why not?"
Tian Tian was puzzled. There was no rule that gold and silver could not be used as betrothal gifts!
"Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will be jealous? Her narrow-mindedness is smaller than the tip of a needle. I'm afraid she will get into trouble!"
The old lady has always looked down upon the eldest daughter-in-law. In her eyes, she is a scheming girl who can only deceive her daughter.
"No way! My elder sister-in-law is not that kind of person. Besides, the era is different, so the betrothal gift should also be different. Besides, this is my second sister-in-law's gift, not yours or my father's. My elder sister-in-law can't choose anything!"
Tian Tian picked her fingers reluctantly. She wanted to take care of everyone's emotions, but she wanted Wu Shengnan to feel proud even more.
Although time and space are different, Wu Shengnan now is the same as her in the previous life. She is an old girl who cannot get married and is laughed at by others.
"It's just that Mom looks down on me. I'm not that kind of person!"
The eldest daughter-in-law opened the door and walked in.
She didn't feel comfortable with the old couple paying the betrothal gift, after all, they had separated their families.
The original separation was because of the second son's family.
But after hearing Tian Tian's affirmation to her at the door, she suddenly figured it out.
"Are you really not jealous? Look, this is real money!"
The old lady never believed that the calm-looking woman in front of her was her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Mom, so what if it's real money? I don't think the Wu family will be greedy for this little betrothal gift from our family. When the time comes, they will definitely send it back with the dowry!"
The master will not covet these gold and silver for the sake of his daughter. Anyway, if it were her, he would definitely bring it back to his daughter.
"After the wedding is completed, just let the second son's family be returned to Tian Tian!"
If she really gave two large boxes of gold and silver to Lao Er's family, she might suffocate.
"You~"
The old lady instantly understood the meaning of the boss's wife's words.
"I will definitely take it back. After all, it is divided into different families!"
Tian Tian hasn't used mind-reading skills for a long time, but after knowing her sister-in-law's thoughts, she felt that this should be the case.
"Of course we have to take it back. None of you can worry about Tuanzi's things!"
The old lady strongly disapproved of Tian Tian using his own things to prop up appearances for others.
The Tian family's procession to propose marriage was spectacular.
The bison dressed in red silk carries a frame of grain, which means that the grain will be abundant and the livestock will be prosperous.
The young man from the Tian family was walking hard behind the bison carrying two boxes of gold and silver.
The women proudly held the few betrothal gifts common in Lingshui County.
"Is this the house where the man's mother-in-law married? Didn't he say he was a dirt-legged guy from the countryside? Why is he so rich?"
Everyone was shocked to see the excitement.
As soon as the Tian family entered the city, people asked where they were going to propose marriage. When they heard that they were going to the master's house, everyone followed to watch the excitement.
"Perhaps the rumors are wrong? Mudlegs is so well-dressed? Look at those women, they are wearing pearls and lilacs on their ears. I heard that those things are not cheap!"
Watching the excitement makes me sigh.
Tian Tian was sitting on a bullock cart with a group of old people, and her back straightened when she heard the discussion.
Although this is a bit childish, she is still a child.
The high-profile Xu family of the Tian family almost had smoke coming out of their noses, especially Xu Zheng.
Their family is now in decline. Although her father has some money, he can't even find a place to live.
She was not living a good life. How could Wu Shengnan, a manly woman who couldn't get married, be so prosperous?
Jealousy often blinds the eyes and confuses the mind.
"stop!"
"Why can your cattle enter the city? Where does your money come from?"
Xu Zheng stood directly at the front of the team with a whip in hand.
"Hey, is there anyone in the way?"
"Is this a girl from the Xu family?"
"what happened?"
I was very excited to see the excitement.
"Why is the girl blocking the road? My cow has obtained a city entry permit and has not violated the ban!"
Wearing red silk, Tian Maochun's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes are like a luminous body.
"So what if I have a city entry permit? Isn't your family a mud-legged family? Where did the mud-legged family get so much gold and silver? Don't steal it!"
Xu Zheng's eyes were red. She didn't expect that the widower Wu Shengnan married, Nishanzi, was actually very handsome and dignified. This simply hurt her heart.
"Haha, girl, you are joking. The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. Although our family is a farmer, everyone is educated and literate. How can we do anything illegal or taboo?"
Tian Maochun kept saying that he was a farmer, but when he opened his mouth, he spoke in a good manner, which made Xu Zheng blush.
She is also rare for rich and handsome men.
"Besides, my family runs a paper mill, so this little gold and silver is not much!"
"If there were no rules, I could take out eight boxes out of ten!"
Tian Maochun always remembered Tian Tian's words and kept a high profile. Today they were here to save Wu Shengnan's face.
"I can testify to this. This is the young boss of Tianjiacun Paper Mill. We have dealt with him before!"
The shopkeeper who was expensive in everything squeezed out the crowd. Now the Tian family's paper is only supplied to Prince Fu's Mansion. He urgently needs to establish a good relationship with the Tian family.
"Paper-making company? That's a lot of money!"
"Wu Shengnan is so lucky. He thought he would never get married in this life, but he didn't expect to marry a rich man!"
"You're from a big family but a small one, haven't you seen how handsome the groom is?"
Many girls looked at Tian Maochun with starry eyes.
"Are you from the Tian family?"
Xu Zheng was a little confused and panicked. Their whole family was thinking about the Tian family's papermaking technology. Unexpectedly, the Xu family was defeated before they could get the papermaking technology.
