The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 421 The Eve of the Wedding (1)
In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of April. The gate of the Shen residence was opened early in the morning, and the entire residence was cleaned inside and out. On this day, all the members of the Shen family gathered in the residence to wait With the arrival of Xue Yaoxi - a betrothal gift.

"Here we come, here we come, Young Master Xue came to deliver the dowry in person!" Just after the time passed, the servant guarding the gate saw the dragon-like dowry from a distance, turned around and ran into the mansion, shouting loudly.

Hearing the boy's shout, the elders of Shen's family who were waiting in the front hall all laughed. Shen Chaochun, the eldest son and grandson, and Shen Chaoqiu, the eldest son of a direct relative, stood up and walked out of the hall. They should go to greet him soon. His sister-in-law - Xue Yaoxi.Shen Xuan, the heroine, was strictly detained in the backyard. The reason was: where did the parties go to the front to see her dowry in person?

As soon as Shen Chaochun and Shen Chaoqiu walked to the gate, Xue Yaoxi's figure stood in front of them. After the three greeted each other, the first betrothal gift entered the gate of Shen's residence.Seeing the endless dowry, the three of them entered the mansion with mutual humility.

It took a full two hours before all the betrothal gifts were carried into the gate of Shen's residence. The entire front yard was filled with boxes. There were a total of 1 betrothal gifts, whichever was "0 8 9 =[-], meaning long-term perfection.In fact, if it wasn't for the restriction of official position, Xue Yaoxi's dowry gift to Shen Xuan would be much higher, but in the officialdom, it is not good because the dowry gift exceeds certain standards, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes.

In order to show his intentions, Xue Yaoxi stuffed the one hundred and eight betrothal gifts without any gaps, and those who carried the betrothal gifts suffered a lot of fatigue along the way.Fortunately, with two rewards from Xue Yaoxi and the Shen family, these dowry bearers feel as happy as eating honey even if they are tired.

One hundred and eighth dowry.With such a high standard, Xue Yaoxi not only expressed his heart in front of Shen's elders, but also let some people in the capital see his heart clearly. He really loves Shen Xuan, and Shen Xuan, a peasant girl, is not a farmer. .

The list of betrothal gifts was delivered to Shen Xuan at the first time. Seeing the valuable items on the list, Shen Xuan knew that Xue Yaoxi had really put all his thought into these betrothal gifts.

After dinner on the eighth day of May, father Shen and Mrs. Zhou called their daughter-in-law He Yuyao and brother and sister Shen Xuan together, and they had something to talk about.

"Father, mother, please tell me if you have anything! Is there any problem with the dowry of my younger sister? If it is not enough, I will go to the warehouse to see if there is anything I can buy." Shen Chaoqiu said first, That tone seemed to add a dowry to Shen Xuan as a matter of course.

Hearing Shen Chaoqiu's words, in order to prevent him from saying more unreliable words, Zhou looked at Shen's father and motioned him to speak quickly.

"Cough." Father Shen coughed first.Attracted everyone's attention, and then said, "Letting you stay today is to divide our family."

Hearing the word separation, apart from Zhou, the other four looked at Father Shen, waiting for what Father Shen had to say.

"Originally, this family should have been divided when Brother Qiu moved to the next door, but I have never found a suitable opportunity. Now, let's divide the family before Xiaoxuan is married. In fact, how many things are there in the family, you don't know what to do." We all know, do you think the division of father and mother is fair?" Father Shen said.

At this point, Father Shen slowed down, and then continued, "I went back to my hometown a few years ago, and sorted out all the property in the family. Our hometown now has a field of 10 acres, a house, and a frying pan." For the Guazi workshop, we still have [-] taels of silver in our hands, excluding the taels given to Brother Qiu to get married at the beginning of the year."

"These 6 taels of silver are for Brother Qiu's family. You guys should buy some land yourself; the [-] taels of silver are for Xiaoxuan's dowry; the remaining [-] taels of silver are for Brother Xing. We are parents I will keep it, and I will give him the money when he gets married in the future. Dad and your mother have discussed things in my hometown, and now no one will give them. The money we earn in the future will be used by us, and parents will also want it. Save the silver used for your younger brother’s marriage. When the two of us go away in the future, all the things will be shared equally between the two of you.” Father Shen said while putting the silver bills of varying amounts in front of several people, and finished speaking After that, I waited for the reactions of the children.

"Father and mother, I don't want this banknote. You know that I don't lack this money." Shen Xuan said while pushing the banknote back in front of Mrs. Zhou.

"Xiaoxuan, take this banknote. Your parents know that you are not short of money, but this is the meaning of being a parent, so don't refuse." Zhou's tone resolutely objected, and put the money into Shen Xuan again. hand.

"Well, I'll take it. If my parents are short of money in the future, they can come to me directly." Seeing the resolute attitude of her parents, Shen Xuan accepted it.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you dissatisfied with? We are a family now, so we should speak out when we have something to avoid misunderstandings in the future." Zhou looked at the expressions of several people, and then looked at He Yu Yao made a special question.

Hearing Zhou's inquiry, He Yuyao quickly raised her head, met everyone's gazes, and replied aloud, "Father and mother, there is nothing dissatisfied with my daughter-in-law, but isn't our share of money a little too much?"

In fact, He Yuyao was still a little puzzled about the separation of the family, just like the rumors circulating outside, didn't it say that the hot pot restaurant and the vegetable shed belonged to the Shen family?Why no points?From this point of view, the hot pot restaurant and greenhouse vegetables are no longer the property of the Shen family, He Yuyao thought so.

Hearing He Yuyao's question, Shen's father and Zhou's also felt relieved, knowing that this eldest daughter-in-law is really sensible and knows how to be modest.

Others may not be able to see through He Yuyao's thoughts, but Shen Xuan guessed it, so Shen Xuan explained it aloud, "Sister-in-law, the hot pot restaurant and greenhouse vegetables belong to my private property. It's not the property of the Shen family, it's earned by myself, so it's not within the scope of the separation."

Suddenly hearing Shen Xuan's answer like this, He Yuyao was a little stunned. She couldn't figure out that such a huge property belonged to Shen Xuan alone. How did she earn such a large fortune?
Seeing He Yuyao's dumbfounded expression, Shen Chaoqiu, as her husband, understood that she couldn't figure it out and didn't want to occupy the younger sister's property, so she explained in a low voice, "Don't think too much about it. I'll explain it to you."

Hearing Shen Chaoqiu's voice, He Yuyao recovered from her daze, suppressed the curiosity in her heart, and adjusted her emotions.

Shen Xuan could see the expressions of several people. Now that the family has been separated, it should be done thoroughly, so as to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Tun Shenxuan continued to say, "The hotpot restaurant and For the two industries of greenhouse vegetables, the eldest brother gets [-]% of the dividends every year. After Brother Xing is admitted to the scholar, I will also give him [-]% of the dividends every year. In addition, the house where the eldest brother got married was bought by me. I will also give you a house when Brother Xing gets married."
