Chapter 259 Sky-high price dowry (1 more)
Chu Chu has no idea about dowry, especially since there are still so many rules in ancient times, but she doesn't know the various levels and specifications anyway.

However, Chu Chu didn't know, but Liu Shi and Chu Dazhuang knew it, and the villagers in Fuguang Village knew it.

Ye Yixiao made such a big battle, which attracted many villagers. Fuguang Village is not big at all. This is the beating of gongs and drums. Yes, someone must have come to propose marriage!

The people who liked to watch the excitement had already followed this team forward, and went directly to Chu Chu's house.

"Oh my god, who is this who fell in love with Chuchu, and the bride price is so generous?"

"Master Ye, I just saw that the person in the front seems to be Steward Ye."

"No wonder, in Yunshui Town, only the Ye family has such a big hand!"

"You can't say that. It's not that no one has such financial resources, but they won't give out so many dowry gifts. Do you know how many dowry gifts there are in total?"

"How many?"

"It's a full 180 feet! I heard that this is a specification that only those high-ranking ladies in the capital can have!"

"What! Ordinary official ladies don't get such treatment. How can they be born with a title like a Duke, so they can afford so many betrothal gifts!"

"Oh my God! Chuchu is so lucky! To meet a man who treats her so sincerely! Not to mention anything else, but these betrothal gifts should be the best in the entire Anton City, right?"

"It's definitely true. When Miss Zhifu got married, she only had a dowry of 24 liters. At that time, it was already a sensation in Andong City. Our village is going to be famous this time! This is 180 [-] liters!"

……

This kind of discussion among the crowd spread more and more widely, and the more it spread, the more intense it became.

"There are quite a lot of boxes. Who knows what's in them? Don't you know what's inside the gold flakes? It's very likely that there are so many boxes, but the other party is just putting on a show to look good."

Among the praises of everyone, this voice is very unique. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Mrs. Chu.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Almost everyone in the village knew about the Chu family's affairs.This eccentric old lady is really famous far and wide.

Now seeing her son, granddaughter, and grandson whom she doesn't want to see have such a good thing, I'm afraid they can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour.

Impulsively, he immediately said, "I just saw a lot of silk, all of which are patterns I have never seen before. The color is very positive. It is definitely a good material. Those fabrics alone are very valuable!"

"What are you talking about? I also saw two jade ruyis. They are white and transparent, and they look good at first glance."

"But just because of these betrothal gifts, I know that Young Master Ye prepared them carefully. You haven't seen those two boxes of books. You know, there are only a few bookstores in our town. How many books can there be? Chu Hong will take the imperial examination in the future , at a glance, you can tell that the things used by these literati are for Chu Hong, and these good things are not just bought with money!"

No one in the crowd paid attention to Mrs. Chu, but just like this, you said something and I said something. It seemed that they were chatting, but they couldn't say a word that Mrs. Chu was running on.

The complexion was even more ugly. The old lady Chu, who has always had a good face, was so squeezed at this time, how could she stand it? If she was admitted to a scholar like Chu Hong, she was at home and could not hear other people's words. Also acceptable.

But in such a situation, Old Madam Chu suppressed her unwillingness for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears, "Hmph, so what if it's a good gift, I'm still her elder, and I have a share of these things!"

Saying that, Mrs. Chu just walked into the yard.

Everyone twitched their lips tacitly. Such a shameless person is really rare.

In the courtyard, Ye Yixiao was discussing the issue of dowry with Chu Dazhuang and Liu Shi.

Both of them are farmers with their own duties, and they have heard of so many betrothal gifts when they were listening to books.In a small village like theirs, there are people who get married and daughters on weekdays. Not to mention so many well-behaved dowries, it is very rare to have a gift of ten taels of silver.

But this time, their family actually sent 180 eight loads directly!This posture really frightened Liu Shi and Chu Dazhuang. If there is a betrothal gift, then there will be a dowry.

With so many betrothal gifts, where did they get the dowry to accompany them!
If the accompanying dowry differs too much, they worry that Chu Chu will be wronged and looked down upon when she marries in the past. This is also an important reason why they don't want Chu Chu to marry into a noble family.

When I was wronged, my natal family couldn't help at all.

"Boss, why didn't you go back and inform me about such a big matter? After all, Chuchu is also my granddaughter, and now someone comes to propose a marriage, so why don't you ask my opinion?"

The old lady Chu walked over in such a swaggering way, and the tone of course made the few people who were discussing things in the courtyard stunned.

Chu Dazhuang frowned subconsciously, but for a while, he didn't know what to say to refute. He was originally not good at words, especially when facing his eccentric parents.

Then Chu Chu came over, "Why do I ask you? We have nothing to do with each other. Have you forgotten how the little girl and I left the Chu family, and how did we move here?"

Mrs. Chu was a little guilty, but after seeing the offer of dowry, she turned around and left without hesitation, "That's all in the past, don't you live with your parents too? We are still a family ,family!"

"Hehe, I don't dare to have a family like yours. My parents are my parents. As for you, you only have eyes for the talented gentleman of yours. If the talented gentleman of your family loses the ranking again this time, you have no money to study for him." , what if I sell my daughter again?"

Chu Chu started to dig through old accounts, this person skipped the past so lightly, so let her remember it more deeply.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The third child must be on the list this time, don't curse him here!" Mrs. Chu's expression immediately changed. As soon as she said this, she felt that something was wrong, and she became aware of some mocking people around her. look.

The old lady Chu immediately changed her strategy, and suddenly became tough, "Don't think that you can do anything if you marry a rich man?"

"To put it bluntly, after all, it is a family of merchants, with a low status. When the youngest son wins the Juren examination, he will have fame and fame, and you can also have a strong natal family. I am thinking of you! You don't want a dog Bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart!"

"No need." Chu Chu said lightly, three words, blocked the arrogance of Mrs. Chu.

The old lady Chu could only focus on Chu Dazhuang, "Chu Chu is young and doesn't understand these interests, don't you understand too? The Ye family has a big business, and Chu Chu still has a mop bottle. Backed by a strong natal family, when Chu Chu gets married, what can you do if you are bullied?"

"Mother, when Chuchu was arrested by the county magistrate, didn't you worry about being implicated and showed that you had nothing to do with Chuchu? Since you don't want to see Chuchu so much, we don't need to report to you about Chuchu's marriage."

Chu Dazhuang said.

The old lady Chu's face was flushed, she did say this, the situation at that time, the officers and soldiers were aggressive, she was worried about being imprisoned, and she was afraid that Chu Sanchuan would be implicated, so of course she had to get rid of the relationship.

"I'm the son of Ye's eldest son. If Chu Chu marries me, it's naturally Mrs. Ye. No one in the house will anger her, and no one will bully her! As for the little girl, she is my daughter, and she is not a fool. Please don't say any more, Madam."

Ye Yixiao suppressed the smile on his face and said in a cold voice.

At this sentence, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone couldn't help but envy Chuchu even more, how lucky she was to meet a man who fell in love with him so much!Even her children are her own!

I have to say, this is really a wonderful misunderstanding.

No one thinks that Chu Qianyue is Ye Yixiao's biological daughter.

The old lady Chu frowned even tighter, isn't Chu Chu lucky?
"As for the backer, I will be my sister's backer!" Chu Hong came out with a very firm tone. Although he was young, his back was straight, and the stubbornness in his eyes could not be ignored.

The old lady Chu saw that Chu Hong, who had just been selected as a scholar, was indeed very qualified to say this.

"Mother, you don't need to think about these dowries. Although these are good things, we always have to prepare some dowry when Chuchu gets married. We are ordinary people. Except for those books, the rest of the dowry is waiting for you." Chu Chu gets married, and we will give Chu Chu a dowry together."

Chu Dazhuang slammed loudly, and the old lady Chu's eyes widened in shock, she pointed at him, trembling, "You...you..."

Looking at the boxes of good things, thinking that she will give them away immediately, and she won't get anything, that makes her heart ache!
