Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 214

On the eighth day of April, Bai Lan and his wife took Chen Yaqiu to Wangjia Village to attend Wang Liusong's wedding in a carriage. There were many gifts on the carriage, all prepared by the four daughters-in-law.

Chen Yaqiu looked at his sister-in-law who had prepared so many things, "Mother, isn't it a bit too eye-catching for us to go there in a carriage, and my sister-in-law has prepared so many gifts, although you didn't prepare any presents, but you plan to give gifts. Ten cars of silver, these ten taels of silver are enough to marry a daughter-in-law, and these two baskets of fruit are worth a hundred taels."

"These ten taels of silver are a big gift that your father promised to give at the beginning. Your sister-in-law bought so many jewelry and cloth. If we buy more, it will be a bit too much. Who wants to bring such a set in this rural area? Jewelry is Even if you buy it, it’s just to put it in the bottom of the box, it’s better to give it for money.”

The distance between Wangjia Village and Taoyuan Village is not very far. After about two cups of tea, the carriage had already arrived at the door of Chen Dongju's house. Some guests came earlier and sat in the yard eating melon seeds and chatting.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person saw a carriage parked outside the door.

"Whose family owns this carriage? Since when did Dongju's family meet such a rich man?"

"Wait and see who gets off from the carriage, and you'll know."

"It should be quite expensive to buy a carriage, right? I never heard that Dong Ju's family had such a rich relative. If there was a rich relative like me, how could his family still be like this? If it was me, I would have Borrow some money from his relatives to renovate the house."

Chen Dongju knew that her elder sister-in-law would definitely come today, so she kept telling her eldest daughter-in-law to wait at the door.

As soon as Zhao Lan saw the carriage pull up to the door, she knew it was her aunt.

"Uncle, aunt, you came here so early."

Bai Lan: "We just wanted to come here early to see if there is anything we can do to help."

"No need, mother-in-law has already made arrangements. Aunt, uncle and cousin can just go in and sit down for a while. It will take some time before we leave the banquet."

"It's okay. If you need any help, don't be polite to us. We are all relatives."

"By the way, all the things your cousins ​​bought are on the carriage. There are a lot of them. See if you want someone to come out and help take them."

The door curtain of the carriage was open, Zhao Lan forgot to go inside the carriage, there were quite a lot of things inside.

"There are some fruits grown by myself and some snacks inside. I made all the snacks myself. It looks very festive."

"Aunt, then I'll call someone to come and move it now."

Some people saw Zhao Lan holding a large basket of strawberries, and pushed the person sitting next to him, "Do you know what that is? Why does it look familiar to me?"

The person who was pushed took a closer look, "Isn't that the fruit that was sold in the town? I remember that it was very expensive, at least a few taels of silver per catty, and there must be dozens of such a big basket." Let’s say it’s a catty, it’s hundreds of taels if you calculate it casually.”

"The box at the back seems to be more expensive. It seems to be ten taels of silver a catty. Sometimes it is often sold out. Only rich people can afford it. I don't know if Dongju's family will buy it." Won't you take some out for us to taste?"

"Forget it, don't think about such a precious thing."

Zhao Lan also heard this when passing by some people, and hugged the strawberry basket tightly. She didn't expect this box of strawberries to be so expensive!

Some careless people directly took a fruit from the box and put it into their mouths, "Daughter-in-law Liulin, hurry up and wash some for us to taste, it doesn't need too much, just one for each person, it tastes really good, Everyone also wants to taste the taste of a few taels of silver a catty of fruit?"

"Grandma Wang, this fruit hasn't been washed yet, don't worry, I'll take it in and wash some for you to eat right now."

Zhao Lan secretly regretted, if she knew such an expensive fruit, she would have to find something to cover it up, wouldn't it be good to eat it at home, it's so expensive?How many points can they have left?
