Chapter 9 Discussing Marriage
Seeing Fang Qing asking about the dowry, Zhang Meng patted Fang Qing on the shoulder.

"Girl Qing, our peasant family is not like those noble sons who have three matchmakers and six engagements. The village says that they invite a matchmaker to come and match the match. The dowry is usually three taels to four taels of silver. Does the woman like the man? Just give a few taels more. "

Fang Qing clicked her tongue, the dowry in this village was not as expensive as her one acre of beautiful land, she thought about it and decided to give the dowry to the Zhang family first, Zhang Zelin went to buy wedding clothes tomorrow, the Zhang family must not have much money.

Zhang Zelin wanted to live with her in the future, so she couldn't let Zhang Zelin's wedding clothes be sold by his father-in-law, and he reached out and took out 20 taels of silver from the space.

"Grandma, take this money away."

Seeing that Fang Qing was now offering the bride price, Mrs. Zhang yelled outside.

"Second brother, come in."

Xia Ye was chatting with a few sisters-in-law while paying attention to the situation in the living room. From the old lady and Fang Qing's mention of their son, he had been sitting at the door and listening. When the old lady called him, he quickly stood up and walked into the living room.

The men outside also paid attention to the situation in the living room. After the old lady called the second child's family into the living room, several sisters-in-law walked in behind Xia Ye.

"Second brother, you collect Brother Lin's dowry. After I discuss it with Young Maid, Qing Maid will pick up Brother Lin the day after tomorrow. You will take Brother Lin to the city to buy new clothes tomorrow."

Seeing Fang Qing's 20 taels of silver, Xia Ye stretched out his hand to take ten taels, he said to Fang Qing, "Girl Qing, father-in-law can take the ten taels of silver, and you take back the ten taels, and you and Brother Lin will live a good life in the future. "

Fang Qing shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, this ten taels of silver is my betrothal gift to Brother Lin, you take it well, as for Brother Lin's other things, I will take him to buy them tomorrow."

"Girl Qing, these 20 taels of silver are enough, what else do you want to buy?" Seeing that Fang Qing used 20 taels to hire his grandson, Mr. Zhang asked with a smile on his face.

Several aunts looked at Fang Qing curiously. You must know that Fang Qing's 20 taels of dowry is considered a lot in the village, and none of the elder brothers who are serious in the village have such a large dowry.

Seeing that they were all looking at her, Fang Qing cleared her throat and said, "There are few cows in the village. I'll buy Brother Lin a cow." Give him the cow.

Mrs. Zhang and the others looked at Fang Qing with wide eyes. They thought that Fang Qing had bought fields and horses, and then bought furniture. With the addition of the 20 taels of betrothal money for his grandson, his savings might be running out. exceeded their estimates.

The old lady Zhang asked Fang Qing seriously: "Girl Qing, what you said is true."

"Of course it's true, grandma. I don't know much about cows, and I don't know how to look at them. I'd like to ask you, old man, to help me check them out."

"Haha, okay, I, the old lady, will help you tomorrow, and... check it out."

Mrs. Zhang laughed happily when Fang Qing asked her to look after the cows.

Zhang Zelin was dragged by his younger brother and sister to listen to the conversation in the living room when Fang Qing said he would buy cattle for him. When he heard that Fang Qing asked his grandma to look after the cattle, his nose felt a little sore.

Fang Qing thought about taking Zhang Zelin home. Her house couldn't be deserted. How could she invite several families to have fun? She didn't know anyone in the village, so she could only leave it to Zhang Xin.

"Aunt Xin, you are the village head, so I have to trouble you about this."

"What did you say?" Zhang Xin happily asked what it was after taking a bite of the dish while Fang Qing was talking.

"Didn't you pick Brother Lin back the day after tomorrow? My house can't be deserted, and I have to trouble Aunt Xin to call a few families to come and have fun."

Zhang Xin thought of this problem when Fang Qing reminded him that Fang Qing had no relatives, so he had to call the villagers to have fun the day after tomorrow.

"Girl Qing, you and Brother Lin will live in the village in the future. Aunt Xin suggests that you call everyone in the village so that everyone can recognize you."

Fang Qing just came to the village, and she still doesn't know how many people there are in the village, so it is the best choice for Zhang Xin to help her decide to hire someone. "Aunt Xin, I will follow Aunt Xin's arrangement."

Seeing what Fang Qing said, Zhang Xin discussed with Fang Qing how she should invite people to do what.

"Girl Qing, there is only one meal in the village, so you are going to make some dishes."

"Since we invite people from a village, how about buying a pig and killing it? As for the dishes, make nine dishes and serve them on the table, including chicken, duck and fish."

"Nine dishes of chicken, duck and fish cost a lot of money." The old lady said to Fang Qing seriously.

"Grandma, I just arrived in the village, so I just got to know the villagers well this time, and let the children have a good meal."

Zhang Xin calculated that Fang Qing needed to buy nine dishes, and he needed to buy a big pig. "Girl Qing, do you want to buy a bigger or smaller pig?"

"Buy bigger ones, you won't be able to finish them the day after tomorrow, you can marinate them and save them to eat later."

"It will cost you two or thirty taels of silver to do this."

"It's okay, just do as I said, I will marry my husband and let the people who come to help eat something good." Fang Qing took out 50 taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Xin. "Tomorrow, I will trouble Aunt Xin and ask someone to do something."

"Okay, okay, then Aunt Xin will arrange for you to buy it tomorrow morning." Zhang Xin took the bank note and laughed, thinking that Fang Qing really knows how to do things, so she said that she needed 30 taels of silver. The girl will give her the money now.

By the time Fang Qing and his group had discussed the day after tomorrow, it was already very late, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly arranged for people who would go to the city tomorrow, and let everyone go back to rest.

Fang Qing got up and patted the clothes on her body, ready to go home, she and Zhang Xin's wife and husband walked to the door, and when she saw the dodgy people behind, she stopped and looked back.

Zhang Xin and Chen Shi smiled at Fang Qing and said, "Girl Qing, your uncle and I are waiting for you in front."

Seeing Aunt Tang and Uncle Tang waiting for Fang Qing in front, Zhang Zelin walked over quickly, "You...you need so much money for the banquet and to buy cattle, will you spend too much money? If you don't have enough money, I will! Can I not buy cattle?"

Fang Qing laughed and looked at the stuttering person, "I need to buy the cows. As for the money, you don't have to worry about it. I still have the money to buy these things. It's too late, so go back and rest quickly."

After Fang Qing finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.

Zhang Zelin walked out after talking with him. He didn't know how he felt, and his heart was a little complicated.

Fang Qing walked to the front, seeing Zhang Xin and Chen Shi waiting for her, she hurried to catch up.

Seeing her coming, Zhang Xin jokingly asked with a smile, "Brother Lin has gone back."

"Well, it's too late, let him go back and rest early."

While talking with Zhang Xin and his wife, they walked to her new home. After Fang Qing said goodbye to Zhang Xin and his wife, they took out the key and opened the door. He took out a pair of lanterns, lit one of them and went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash his face.

After Fang Qing left from the Zhang family, Mrs. Zhang was talking with her two daughters and three sons-in-law.

Mrs. Zhang took Zhang Zelin's hand and started to cry, touching his head while crying, "After my sister Sheng left, my poor grandson suffered so much. My grandson will be hurt by someone in the future. Woooo..., second child! You can see your daughter-in-law tonight on the ground! Woooo..."
