Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"It's over, the marriage has been settled." When the marriage was mentioned, the uncle blushed a little: "The daughter of that family is already dead.,'

Ding Tian was a little surprised: "Yes?"

My uncle is only a second child—that's all.

But according to his understanding, this world is very feudal. Isn't it the custom in the Qingming period that people get married as soon as they are fifteen or sixteen?

In the Qing Dynasty, there were many people who married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

It's all over and you haven't married yet. Isn't there something wrong with it?

"No, it was delayed by the war, and she has to keep her filial piety. Her father has gone." Hu Wei explained to Ding Tian: "Her brother is in charge of the house, and her sister-in-law is also going to marry this year. Before her sister-in-law comes in, She goes out on the back foot, otherwise there will be an old lady at home, no one to take care of her

"Oh, that makes sense." Ding Tian heaved a sigh of relief: "As long as there is nothing wrong with people, being virtuous is fine.

"I didn't ask much for the bride price, because they are all relatives, so I gave ten taels of silver, two bolts of red silk, two bolts of floral cloth, a pair of silver tin, two pairs of silver earrings, and two silver hairpins. There is still some food." Hu Wei took a sip of the wine: "The old lady of the Li Chang's family made an agreement with that family to keep the food, a pair of earrings, a silver hairpin for the husband's family, and the rest for the family. I will escort you back."

This is what it should be. The girl has been raised at home for 18 years, and she can't leave nothing to her husband's family. That's not a thing.

But it's not a problem to let the girl go out naked without giving any dowry.

In addition, the betrothal gift is generous, and the food alone is a stone of wheat and a stone of millet, and the other party is still a scholar. In the future, the children of the uncle's side will still expect to come here to attend a private school or something, so they agreed to this condition

Ding Tian nodded to show that he understood, his uncle drank a little too much, probably because he was happy, and said that if the other party is good, after the new year, he will have a cousin or a cousin.

"Uncle, you think so far!" Ding Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I had lunch at his uncle's house and drank two glasses of wine. It was obvious that he was alone when he arrived. His uncle was very happy. When he left, he insisted on giving him three This book: "This is copied by my uncle himself. Go back and have a look. Although it is said that subordinate officials cannot take the imperial examination within three generations, you can't be blind〇,

When the meat was delivered, he brought three books home. Ding Tian felt that he was at a loss, but the elder didn't think so, and asked him to read it when he was free: "Your uncle is doing it for your own good."

Ding Tian said he knew: "Have you made an agreement with that person?"

"Well, you have merit for this matter." The old village head was very happy, humming a little tune with a local accent all the way, looking very happy.

Ding Tian handed over the matter to the head of the village. He went back to Dingjia Village and went to bed very early. The next day he got up early in the morning to write and paint, and then went to Ding Zizi's house and said It took a long time to let Cripple Ding know how to do this thing.

Then he had to go back to the county yamen, and he had to take some pork with him to give the people in the county yamen a tooth beating sacrifice.

Ding Tian drove a horse-drawn cart back to the county government office for half a fan of pork, so the horses were raised in the county government office, and it was useless to keep them at home anyway.

This horse is a kind of war horse, and it is barely enough to pull a cart, but it is really impossible to pull a plow stick.

Ding Tian sent the four pig ears and the smoked sauce to the master, gave a pig hind leg to the county magistrate, and gave the rest of the pig head meat to the county yamen's back kitchen to cook for the big guy children to eat.

In addition, I also sent five catties of fat meat to Accountant Xu. Accountant Xu was very happy. People in ancient times liked big fat meat.

Ding Tian just wanted to eat something thin...

He only left two new hangs of bacon, hanging in the prison kitchen, so that he can eat slowly in the future.

And the bacon and sausage brought from home were also hung up, which will probably be his source of meat for the next year.

In fact, Ding Tian also bought two large jars for pickling sauerkraut.

Four small jars for pickling all kinds of pickles; eight small jars for small dishes.

Yang Li, who came to ask him to eat that day, saw his posture, and suddenly smiled crookedly: "You are in the posture of making a home here?"

"Yes, this will be my home from now on, second brother-in-law, come here if you have nothing to do!" Ding Tian stuffed him with a small cloth bag: "The boiled five-spice jerky, that's all, don't let people see."

In terms of seniority, this Yang Li is Ding Tian's second brother-in-law. In fact, Ding Tian is the same ancestor as his family, and he has already been out of the fifth suit.
