Rebirth of farming for a living

Seeing that dinner was about to start, Li Qiuyan couldn't suppress his curiosity anymore.

"Sister Congcong, why hasn't your master arrived yet?"

Hearing this, Wang Congcong's face was filled with sadness.

"Master said that she is a widowed person, which is unlucky. I won't come over. I will go directly to Zhou's house tomorrow to have a dinner."

Mei Ruoqing is her most important elder besides her parents and family.

Originally, Wang Congcong wanted Mei Ruoqing to come over a day early, as a family member.

But Mei Ruoqing refused, Wang Congcong asked anxiously, and Mei Ruoqing gave the above reason.

"Although the rumors may not necessarily be credible, I would rather believe them than not. Master only hopes that you and Zhou Xiao will be happy for a lifetime, and does not want you to have knots in your heart."

Wang Congcong felt extremely sad. His master couldn't be a better person.

If the master doesn't come, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

But no matter what, Mei Ruoqing didn't agree to come.

Not only that, Mei Ruoqing didn't even help with her wedding dress.

They were afraid that Wang Congcong and Zhou Xiao would mind.

However, she personally selected the good materials and chose the pattern for Wang Congcong.

Let Wang Congcong embroider the wedding dress slowly.

Wang Congcong really cared about it. What she cared about was the master's loneliness.

Hearing what Wang Congcong said, Li Qiuyan felt a little uncomfortable.

Coming to this era, I am quite lucky.

I studied history in my previous life and knew that there were many dynasties that did not allow women to show their faces at all.

Women are also not allowed to have private property in their names.

This time and space that does not belong to any of my own cognition is already very tolerant.

As Li Qiuyan thought about it, his thoughts started to wander again.

In the past few days, I don’t know whether it was due to Jiang Zhe’s influence or the atmosphere in the Wang family.

Li Qiuyan will always consider his future marriage in his mind.

If we get married and my family wants to do business in the future, will my husband's family be happy?

Will you really be happy if you let yourself be trapped in the back house?

Wang Congcong is different, she married into a merchant family.

Shopkeeper Hu is also a woman doing business outside, so she won't interfere much with Wang Congcong.

Then yourself...

If it weren't for his young age, Li Qiuyan would have had the urge to tell his parents that he would never get married in the future.

How comfortable would you be if you had money and leisure?

Speaking of this, Li Qiuyan couldn't help but think of the violent heartbeat this morning.

If you marry Jiang Zhe, you don't have to serve your parents-in-law, and maybe you can always be free...

Bah bah bah, what?

The old cow wants to eat young grass again?

Amitabha Amitabha, Li Qiuyan quickly recited two sentences of the Buddha's name.

But we can't be restless.

She has a loli body and an old aunt heart. Judging from her age, she doesn't match Jiang Zhe.

It can't be like this, it can't be like this.

Li Qiuyan silently persuaded himself for a long time.

But seeing Jiang Zhe's figure appear, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, everyone was busy, so Li Qiuyan thought he had covered it up perfectly.

The bride needed to get up early, so not long after dinner, Mrs. Cheng boiled hot water and arranged for Wang Congcong to take a bath.

After bathing, you should go to bed early.

Before going to bed, Mrs. Cheng came in a little embarrassed.

Li Qiuyan stared at Mr. Cheng with his big innocent eyes.

Mrs. Cheng coughed uncomfortably: "Yanyan, you should take Xiangqiao to see what your mother is doing."

what?

Li Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly came to his senses.

Oh, Mrs. Cheng is going to take pre-marital education classes, right?

Li Qiuyan snickered in his heart, he really wanted to hear how education was done in this era.

However, when Mrs. Cheng saw that she was not going out, she stopped talking.

Li Qiuyan had no choice but to take Xiangqiao out.

What is Wang doing?

Mrs. Wang was taking a large handful of cypress branches and putting them in Wang Congcong's dowry.

The wardrobe and other items had been delivered to the Zhou family's house a long time ago.

Today Wang went over and tied red cloth strips on it and inserted cypress branches.

There are still some boxes and cages, mostly made of newly made bedding and clothing.

There are also dowries of various utensils.

Like tubs, barrels, etc.

Inside these things, cypress branches and red cloth strips must be placed one by one.

Mrs. Zhao was guiding Mrs. Wang beside her, while Mrs. Wang was still muttering blessings.

Some new copper coins were stuffed into the newly made bedding and clothes.

These were also specially exchanged for new copper coins, and Zhao couldn't tell what these rituals were for.

To sum it up in one sentence: "It's for the good of the newcomers."

Okay, for the sake of the new couple, do it.

After Wang finished all these and confirmed that there was nothing missing in the box, he closed the box.

They were tied one by one with red cloth strips.

In addition, there is the most important dowry prepared by the Wang family for Wang Congcong.

They are two very delicate boxes.

One of them contained silver. The betrothal gift given by the Zhou family was much higher than that of ordinary villagers, a full 20 taels.

The Wang family didn't keep any of the 20 taels of silver, and added another [-] taels of silver to it.

The other box contains the jewelry that the Wang family brought as a betrothal gift, and the dowry jewelry purchased by Wang Congcong's family.

Although the jewelry is all silver, a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver hairpins are not lacking.

Li Qiuyan also put in the gold-inlaid jade head mask that he used to add makeup.

Needless to say, everyone praised him again.

Wang Congcong's dowry is considered the only decent thing in rural areas.

The Zhou family worked hard, and the Wang family also spent a lot of money.

Dowry is a woman's confidence. In the past, when the Wang family's conditions were so poor, the Wang family also had silver jewelry when they got married.

It's just that the Li family's family background was not good, and later they were pawned by the Wang family for various reasons.

This is not mentioned.

After packing everything up, Mrs. Zhao handed Mrs. Wang a pair of brand new small copper locks.

Mrs. Wang continued to mutter a long string of words and then locked the two boxes.

The keys are tied with a red string, one for Ngawang and one for stone.

If the Zhou family's red seal is not in place tomorrow, then the key to the box may not be available.
