"Of course it's true!" Wang Mutou was about to swear by raising his hand, and said to Chen Dongqing: "Don't worry, I promise to treat you well. I will love Li'er as my own. If he wants to study, let him He can study, even if he is willing to go to the school in the county or the prefectural city. You don’t have to use the money you earn for your family, you can keep it for Li’er as a dowry!”

Wang Mutou's words reached Chen Dongqing's heart every sentence, which moved him quite a bit.

He can imagine this for himself and Li'er, but it is full of sincerity.Chen Dongqing was completely relieved, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you. Put it in my own money, and I will plan it myself. As long as you treat Lier well, I will also treat the three of your family like parents and children." Generally speaking, I will not treat your son badly."

When the two of them said this, they were all happy.

Their actions by the fish pond were noticed by the passing villagers and spread the word.

Within half an hour, everyone in Baitang Village knew that Chen Dongqing, a rich man, and the old widower Wang Mumu were in love.

For a while, many people beat their chests and stamped their feet, feeling very sorry.

After all, Chen Dongqing is no longer the poor and clanging Brother Chen. Now he is also very wealthy. Although he has a child, once he marries, he will be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

As for Wang Mutou, many people have long regarded him as a good-natured person, and they wanted to stuff the yellow flower girl into him.

As a result, the roads on both sides are broken.

At this time, Wang Mutou was going to Baiyu Villa with Chen Dongqing.

When Bai Shu saw the two of them coming in together, he smiled, knowing that the matter of the two of them was definitely done.

He and Chen Dongqing were close friends, and they were also witnesses to Chen Dongqing's unbearable marriage history.

Seeing that he can get out of his knot now and find a reliable partner, I am also happy for him.

As soon as Wang Mutou saw Bai Shu, he embarrassedly asked him to ask him for leave, and waited for him to say that he was going to the county town to purchase the dowry for Chen Dongqing.

Bai Shu nodded and said, "Since it's settled, the dowry must be prepared earlier."

After finishing speaking, he paused again and said: "Although you and Chen Dongqing are married twice, the marriage matters should not be simplified because of this. You don't need me to tell you about Chen Dongqing's current net worth. He Even if you fall in love with you, it is your blessing. If you want to marry him, you have to show some sincerity. If there is not enough, you can also overdraw from me. But if you can't get on the stage, I will be the first to say no agree."

By speaking like this, Bai Shu naturally wanted to make face for Chen Dongqing.Chen Dongqing was also very moved when he heard the words.

Wang Mutou swore even more firmly: "Don't worry, little brother Bai. Since I want to marry him, I won't lose him. I must let him marry in a beautiful way. I will overdraw half a year's monthly silver first, and go to Purchase for the county."

Seeing that he was so good at Taoism, Bai Shu was quite satisfied, so he gave him 15 taels of silver.

Among them, six taels were his wages paid in advance, and the remaining nine taels were red envelopes for the Chinese New Year, which were also given to him in advance at this time, and asked him to buy them together.

Wang Mutou got so much money, so he went out happily to buy the dowry.

The New Year is approaching in the county town, and because there are many people who come out to buy new year's goods, it is a bit more lively than usual.

Wang Mutou went straight to the Xipu, and began to purchase the betrothal gift for Chen Dongqing.

In Baitang Village, it is already a very heavy dowry gift for an ordinary family to give a wild duck or wild goose with a few copper coins.

A man with a bad reputation like Bai Dao before would have to spend some money if he wanted to marry a yellow flower girl again.But five taels of silver, plus some chicken, duck and eggs, would be more than enough.

But Chen Dongqing is different now, he can get five taels of silver in one month.If Wang Mutou hired him again, he would have to prepare a more serious gift, so as not to lose his identity.

At this time, he got the 15 taels of silver from Bai Zhu, and the three taels he had saved.

18 taels of silver It is quite easy to prepare a dowry in the county.

Seeing that Wang Mumu was interested in preparing gifts, the shopkeeper of the Xipu introduced him to the gifts in this county.

Different from the village, the dowry in the county is naturally much more complete.There are A, B, C and three models in this Xipu, and the prices are different.

Among them, the betrothal gift of Class C is the least, and it also needs five taels of silver. Not counting the betrothal money and jewelry, there is a load of betrothal cakes, ten catties each.

There are four types of seafood, one catty each of hair vegetables, yuan scallops, fish maw, and dried shrimps.

A pair of three animals is a pair of male and female chickens.

A pair of fish, four cans of wine, some fruits, one catty each of Sijing fruits (dried longan, dried lychee, dried walnut, and peanut).

One catty each of four-color sugar (rock sugar, orange cake, wax gourd soup, golden scallion).

One catty each of tea and sesame, some incense sticks and firecrackers.

Twelve catties of glutinous rice, three catties and two taels of granulated sugar.

In addition to the third-class betrothal gift, there is also a second-class betrothal gift of eight taels of silver and a first-class betrothal gift of ten taels of silver.

The appointment cakes for the second class will be added to one pick of twenty catties.There are not only four types of seafood but six types of seafood, and mushrooms, squid, etc. are added.

And the three animals are not only a pair of chickens, but also three catties of pork.

The amount of Sijing fruit and Sicolor sugar in the back has also increased a little.

As for the first-class dowry gift, some more were added.The betrothal cakes were [-] catties each, and there were eight types of seafood. The chickens from the three animals were replaced by a pair of wild geese, and the weight of other betrothal gifts also increased.

Wang Mutou only had 18 taels of silver in total. He hesitated for a while between the second-class and first-class betrothal gifts, and he gritted his teeth and bought the first-class betrothal gifts.

With eight taels of silver left, he wanted to keep five taels for Chen Dongqing as a dowry, and with three taels left, he bought a pair of silver bracelets.It was also included in the betrothal gift, and the 18 taels were spent completely.

Such a heavy betrothal gift is only willing to be taken by a wealthy family in the county.

The shopkeeper of Xipu was very happy when he made a big deal, and promised to deliver the betrothal gift to Baitang Village in person tomorrow.

The next day, just after Mao's time, the clerk of the cake shop carried the dowry from the county to Baitang Village, and walked all the way to Baiyu Mountain Villa.

The betrothal gift was dazzling, all wrapped in red paper and carried in a basket.The two guys worked together to carry all the dowry gifts over.

Wang Mutou took his three sons and changed into new clothes, which can be considered to be very tidy.

Led by his sister, Mrs. Wang, they followed behind to find Chen Dongqing to propose marriage.

As they passed by, they attracted the attention of the villagers on the side of the road.

Everyone rushed to say goodbye immediately, and went to watch in groups.After all, it was the first time they saw so many betrothal gifts in many years!

After a while, the dowry delivery team stopped at the gate of Baiyu Villa.The two shop assistants put down their things and knocked on the door.

The door opened from the inside, and the four servants in spring, summer, autumn and winter accompanied Chen Dongqing, who was wearing brand-new clothes, out the door, and received the betrothal gift from Wang Mumu.

"Chen Dongqing! These are the betrothal gifts from my family, Wang Mumu, please count them." After Mrs. Wang said a few auspicious words, she loudly sang the betrothal gifts one by one.

Every time she recited the same words, the surrounding villagers exclaimed in surprise, and Mrs. Wang also showed a hint of color on her face.

So many betrothal gifts, how could Wang Mutou be willing?Still facing a brother like Chen Dongqing who had divorced before, many people shook their heads, feeling that it was not worth it.

More people are very envious, wishing they could go home and beat their man hard.

When they got married, they were sent away with just a chicken or a goose. How could there be such a big pomp.

A good girl with yellow flowers is not as beautiful as her brother who has been separated from her.

After Mrs. Wang finished singing the betrothal gift, Wang Mutou took out five taels of silver and handed it over, "This is the betrothal money I am willing to give you. I only have this money now, and I can't give you more. But I promise to treat you in the future." You put your heart and soul into it, no matter how much you earn, I will leave it to you to take care of it."

Chen Dongqing had a happy smile on his face, and he was very happy when he heard it in his heart.

He took the ingot of silver from Wang Mumu's hand and said, "Then I will accept the dowry money."

When he reached out to get the dowry money, Wang Mumu grabbed his wrists, took out a pair of silver bracelets and said: "These pair of bracelets... are for you too, I'll put them on for you."

Chen Dongqing was taken aback for a moment, and her face flushed immediately, she never thought that Wang Mutou would give him such jewelry for her rough hands and feet.

Wang Mumu carefully pulled out the silver bracelet from the red cloth, and put it on Chen Dongqing's left and right hands.

In this way, the betrothal gifts are all sent out.

At this time, those brothers and women who watched the whole process were very envious.

They used to look down on an old widower like Wang Mumu, but now that he has made money and is so kind to Chen Dongqing, people think he is really nice.

Although Chen Dongqing had her natal family, she lost contact with her natal family after she remarried, so she accepted the dowry by herself.

After this side is ready, those guys who like to shop will leave.

Chen Dongqing and Wang Mutou, led by Mrs. Wang, went to Baibaoshan's house to sign the marriage letter.

Bai Shu had some ties with Wang Mutou before, so going out at this time will inevitably attract criticism, so he didn't show up, just stayed in the village, waiting for the four servants in spring, summer, autumn and winter to report to him.

After a while, Xiaochun was the first to run in, and happily said to Bai Shu: "Little boss, it's done! There were a lot of betrothal gifts, and all the villagers came to watch. Brother Dongqing is very beautiful."

Hearing this, Bai Shu felt relieved, his brows and eyes were curved, showing a row of white teeth, and he smiled happily.

Wang Mutou was able to treat Chen Dongqing like this, so he felt relieved, so he was naturally the happiest.

Xie Huaiyu was also sitting beside him at this time, seeing Bai Shu like this, he also smiled on his face, but his heart was astringent.

The little fool in front of him only thinks about the scene of his marriage.On my own side, I don't know how long it will be delayed.

In his heart, Baishu is a priceless treasure, worthy of the best dowry gift.It's just that the day when I can marry him openly, I don't know how long it will be delayed!

Bai Shu didn't know what Xie Huaiyu was thinking, so he happily went over and shook his hand and said, "Thanks to you for mentioning my brother Dongqing and Wang Mumu last time, otherwise I didn't know about it. Now they have become good friends." Brother Dongqing, I want to help Brother Dongqing buy more. Since Wang Mutou gave him face, Brother Dongqing's dowry must also be taken away."

Xie Huaiyu heard the words, hugged him, let him sit on his lap and said: "You know how to do things for others, have you ever thought about what you want for your dowry?"

Bai Shu was taken aback when he heard the words, his heart beat violently, and he looked at the other party with watery eyes.What Xie Huaiyu said, could it be...

Xie Huaiyu knew that he would be wrong when he saw it, and said with a wry smile: "The current situation of my family, I can't help it. I'm afraid I will have to wait for another two years. But if I don't write a letter, it's just a dowry, I can do it." Get ready first. Tell me what you want, just the moon in the sky..."

Xie Huaiyu paused, touched his forehead lightly with Baizhu, and said in a deep voice: "I'll try it too, what if I take it off for you?"

Only then did Bai Shu realize that he had made a mistake.Naturally, he had some regrets in his heart, but Xie Huaiyu had already told him all about his family's situation, so naturally he would not blame him.

Xie Huaiyu wanted to make up for it if he wanted to buy a dowry gift for himself.

Bai Shu then shook his head and said: "The dowry gift is just something outside of us, we should prepare it before we get married. Besides, what else in this world is better than you? If you insist on preparing a dowry gift for me in advance... then ..."

Bai Shu suddenly thought of something, approached Xie Huaiyu's ear with a burning face and said, "Then give you to me..."

He and Xie Huaiyu have been friends for quite some time.The other party has already seen and touched him all over himself.

But at critical moments, Xie Huaiyu stopped on the precipice and refused to go any further, which also made Baishu feel very disappointed.

Xie Huaiyu didn't realize that Bai Shu would suddenly make such a request, and was taken aback.

He was afraid of harming Bai Shu, so he would bear it very much every time, because he was afraid that if he was careless, Bai Shu would become pregnant.

He hesitated for a moment, struggled a lot, but still shook his head and said: "This matter has a bad reputation with you, I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry."

Seeing that Xie Huaiyu did not agree, Bai Shu was very disappointed.

He didn't understand the joy of London when he was on the Worm Planet.It was also when Daxuan came that he was taught by Xie Huaiyu one by one.

If this matter has never been touched, there is no way to think of it, and it is not a concern.

But now that he knew it and tasted bliss from it, he wanted to see Xie Huaiyu's expression of being infatuated with him.

Bai Shu feels a little bit wronged, only thinks that when the two are happy, the matter will be a matter of course.How can anyone bear it like Xie Huaiyu?

With a slump in his heart, he took the initiative to deceive himself and kiss Xie Huaiyu.

Stretch out one hand towards a certain place of the other party, and only lightly cover it, and feel that the place is suddenly full of energy, like mushrooms after rain, breaking through the ground and growing vigorously.

Bai Shu was overjoyed, so he kissed harder, imitating the methods the other party taught him in the past, using most of the skills.

Xie Huaiyu froze, and let Baishu kiss for a while, until he couldn't restrain his breath, then he suddenly grabbed Baishu's wrist with all his strength, and said with a low face, "Stop, we can't continue!"

Bai Shu was pushed away by him, and fell unsteadily on the bed.

Xie Huaiyu got up by himself, took a few steps back, and opened the window.

Being rejected by Xie Huaiyu like this, Bai Shu felt sad and didn't speak for a while.

Xie Huaiyu slowed down for a while before regaining his composure.Looking back, I saw Bai Shu sitting by the bed, where she still had the same energy as before, but her brows and eyes were downcast, with a lonely look on her face.

There was also a stalk in his heart, he hesitated for a while before saying: "Don't be sad, I love you and value you, but it's not the time yet."

Bai Shu nodded his head and twitched the corners of his mouth, but there was still a trace of puzzlement in his expression.

Xie Huaiyu saw it, and knew that if the other party's wishes were not followed at this time, it would be difficult to solve his knots, so he could only shake his head and stop thinking about it.

Bai Shu is simple, if he doesn't think for himself, he can't be the same as the other party.

If Bai Shu doesn't want to take care of it, he Xie Huaiyu will take care of it.Now that I have decided to stay with him for the rest of my life, I have to make comprehensive plans for him.

After Chen Dongqing and Wang Mutou got the documents, they became the official husband and wife who had registered with Daxuan.

But according to the rules of the village, there must be a wedding reception ceremony.We have to wait until the ceremony is over before we can be considered a real husband and wife.

Because Wang Mutou's betrothal gift was so beautiful, the news that the two of them were going to get married became the best topic of conversation in Baitang Village.

The autumn harvest is over, and now everyone is in a panic.Those village women, brothers and girls gathered together in the fields and repeatedly talked about Chen Dongqing's scenery that day.

As he talked, he would inevitably bring Chen Dongqing's ex-husband.

Every time at this time, Zhao Er was compared with Wang Mutou.People with more good things went to Zhao Er and his mother's house to talk about it.

The old lady Zhao Er who was talking about it couldn't bear it anymore, she closed the door and didn't see anyone anymore, and drove all the visitors out.

"The daughter-in-law of the Tian family is so deceitful!" Zhao Da's daughter-in-law whimpered, "In the past, I had some friendship with her. Today she even specially told me about that brother Chen." , and said that Brother Chen has made a fortune now. If Zhao Er hadn't beaten people away, our family would be the one who got rich today."

"It's true which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. The Tian family's daughter-in-law, like her mother-in-law, is a gloat." Mrs. Zhao slapped the table angrily and said, "Then brother Chen is a hen that can't lay eggs. No one wanted it back then." That Mrs. Tian asked me to divorce him earlier. Now that he has made a fortune, those people have changed the subject and rushed to it. Zhao Er is also a no-brainer, and his daughter-in-law can just teach him a lesson. The son beat him to death, and now he has beaten him away, and he doesn't even have a servant."

The old lady Zhao complained, and the old man Zhao and Zhao Da were also unhappy, smoking dry cigarettes with bitter faces.

Laoziniang's family was uncomfortable, and Zhao Er himself was even more uncomfortable.

He worked tirelessly for a year, and [-]% of the food he received was taxed, leaving only [-]% of the food left, which was enough for him to eat and drink alone.

Although he had a bad life in the past, he still had money to drink some wine.

Now I get up early and stay late by myself, and when I go home at night, the room is deserted, and there is no one to talk to.

Looking at this house again, when Chen Dongqing was here, it was still clean and tidy, but now there are garbage piled up everywhere, and there is nowhere to go.

On the day Wang Mutou hired Chen Dongqing, he didn't have the face to look at it, but he heard it said ten or eight times.

Zhao Er still couldn't figure out how Chen Dongqing, a brother, was so lucky that he got Baishu's blue eyes and made him a lot of money.

And that Wang Mumu, who bought so much dowry to marry a divorced elder brother, if he has Wang Mumu's savings, he must marry a yellow flower girl.

But these can only be thought about, now his family property, not to mention marrying a yellow girl, even the brothers in the village who can't get married will not talk to him.

Besides the Zhao family, Brother Liu is also feeling very uncomfortable recently.

The fact that he and Chen Dongqing had a falling out had been rumored in the village before.

He is still at home now, although his parents have not said anything.But the elder brother and sister-in-law are always sarcastic and sarcastic.

He just added an extra bowl for dinner today, but when his sister-in-law saw it, she took Chen Dongqing and said: "You were on good terms with that brother Chen before. But look at him, he is about the same age as you, and now he has earned a lot of money. Said, married a newcomer again, and lived a splendid life. Fortunately, you are such an old man, and you still stay at home, and it seems that you will stay for a lifetime. "

Brother Liu didn't dare to refute, he just buried his head and ate the bowl of rice, but it was very unpleasant.

When he made a lot of money before, his brother and sister-in-law at home treated him well, but now that he can't make any money, he dislikes him for eating too much.

He remembered that when he was cooking at Baizhu's, every meal had fish and meat, and there were copper coins to take.

If he hadn't left back then, and now that Baiyu Villa has risen, he would beg for mercy and find a job to light the fire in the kitchen, and he wouldn't be able to hold his head up at home.

It's just that he committed stupidity before, and it's hard to get over it, and it's useless to regret it now.

·

Chen Dongqing and Wang Mutou went to combine their horoscopes, and then asked someone to make a fortune, and set a date for picking up the marriage.

The time was set on the ninth day of the first month of the new year, and the banquet was also held that night.

In this way, there is still more than half a month to prepare the dowry, which is considered ample time.

According to Daxuan's rules, the marrying party is not allowed to deliberately prepare a dowry, but only needs to choose a few from the man's dowry and return it.

Chen Dongqing didn't need to give the betrothal gift to his family, but he could return all of it and bring it back, which was already a great honor.

But now that he has money in his hands, he is not satisfied with this.Wang Mutou treated him sincerely, so he wanted to add more dowry, and let everyone know that he also wholeheartedly treated Wang Mutou.

Chen Dongqing wants to purchase a dowry, thinking that Bai Shu is well-informed, so he asks Bai Shu for advice.

Bai Shu is an unmarried brother, how would he know how to make a dowry to be more dignified?After thinking about it, he thought of the shop in Fucheng.

He had told the boss before that if he wanted to buy a dowry, he would go to his place, but now he can take Chen Dongqing to have a look.

The shops in this prefecture city are different from those in the county, so they must be more grand.

After Baishu was settled, he greeted Xie Huaiyu, and accompanied Chen Dongqing to Fucheng to pick out the dowry.

The two of them walked together, so there was no need to put on a forehead to pretend to be a man.

The next day, Bai Shu brought Chen Dongqing to the county pier early, and took the ferry to Fucheng.

This was the first time for Chen Dongqing to go to Fucheng, and she was dazzled along the way, gaining a lot of insight.

But now he has worked as a steward in Baiyu Villa for a period of time, and has read some books, so his knowledge is quite different from before.

This time I came to Fucheng, although I was surprised along the way, but I didn't show timidity, and I dealt with everything well.

When he arrived in Fucheng, Baishu specially invited him to Laifulou for a meal.

Chen Dongqing was also disrespectful, no longer the same as in the past, just blindly rejected.

The dowry in Fucheng is indeed larger than that in the county.

After all, there are so many rich ladies and gentlemen here, just for the dowry money and jewelry, there are countless styles to choose from.

Chen Dongqing didn't choose the top one either, just listened to the shopkeeper's suggestion, and bought some things to make up for it according to the level of the average family in Fucheng.

He also bought a pair of silver bracelets and three silver locks.The silver bracelet was brought back as a gift to Li'er, and the silver lock was also put in the dowry and brought back as a gift to Wang Mutou's three sons.

In this way, another 20 taels of silver was spent, and the dowry was already extremely rich.

On the other hand, the store manager used to think that Bai Shu was a man, but he didn't know that he was a brother until today.

He couldn't believe it for a long time, and then remembered the young man who came with him that day, the ring was made according to the size of him and that young man.

He peeked at Bai Shu's hand, he was indeed wearing a garnet ring, so he knew it.He just laughed, and said to Bai Shu: "Brother Bai, this time you helped this brother make a dowry. I don't know when you and the young master's dowry and dowry will be arranged? Don't forget when the time comes. Is it my little shop?"

The author has something to say: Baishu: The old house is on fire, thank you for waiting~

Xie Huaiyu: Go ask the author, I have taken another step away from being an eunuch.
