Chapter 2489

Old Zhou tou and Qian Shi have some private houses. They thought that if the big room and the third room didn't do well, they would help them. But since man Bao took the initiative to lend them, it would be difficult for them to intervene again. Well, this is also a bowl of water.

The husband and wife with a bowl of water took out their own account books and carefully distinguished the above figures. Old Zhou said, "I have seen many chuangs and fields. Alas, the land in the capital is too expensive, and the land in Yongzhou is not cheap, and there are not many people selling the land. I think I'd better buy this family in Yongzhou. It's not Chuang Tzu, but a large family sells it, which is 80 mu."

Old Zhou tou took out a note, scratched his face and said, "seven liang of silver per mu. I asked five heads before, and he calculated it for me, but I forgot. Anyway, it's more than five hundred Liang. With this money, we don't have much money left. What can I buy for her?"

Qian didn't understand, but it wasn't a big problem. She said, "you'd better buy land."

She said, "there are many gifts from the palace and the noble people. We can't buy better. We'll buy two more red cloth, pay for the wedding clothes customized by the embroidery workshop, and buy her the rest."

The house is full of treasures. If there are shops, this money can't buy shops in the capital, so we can only buy land.

"Zhitian is something of the imperial court. It's not very stable. She should still have some of her own land," Qian said. "Look back and ask in Yongzhou. When you buy the land, you still rent it to tenants. As long as there is land, people can't be hungry."

Lao Zhou stood on tiptoe and said, "what bride price will Bai family give?"

Qian looked up at him and said, "it won't be less anyway."

"But I haven't seen them buy anything recently. Are they preparing the bride price?"

Zhou Lizhong, who came out of the yard, bumped into Zhou Liwei after his uncles and aunts returned to the house, winked and said, "OK, you will sing a white face to Lijun."

Zhou Liwei blushed and said, "this is a bad remark. Let's talk about it first. There are many people at home now. Naturally, we should make more explanations to avoid misunderstandings."

Zhou Lizhong nodded, turned around and smiled with Zhou Lijun, "I'll leave it to you, but will it open earlier in September? Why don't you wait until your sister-in-law gets married? "

Zhou Lijun shook his head, "it's too late. September is just right, autumn is dry, and moisturizing cream and moisturizing cream are just right."

Zhou Li nodded and frowned. He had the same question as his grandfather, "by the way, is the Bai family preparing the bride price? I haven't seen anything over there several times. "

Of course, Mrs. Liu has asked people to move things to the newly bought house since last month.

Every once in a while, she would take Zheng out to check the things in the newly bought house.

Not to mention the house deed and land deed, all kinds of ornaments, jade, porcelain, as well as some antique calligraphy, paintings and books she asked people to prepare were also sent from Longzhou and Qili Village.

Of course, when she moved, most of her things went to Qili Village with her. Only some of them stayed in the old house in Longzhou because they were too heavy to take away.

She didn't expect Bai Shan to get married in the capital. In order to make the bride price look good, she asked someone to go back to Qili Village to get some things and give Bai Shan a bride price together with some things left in Longzhou.

Not to mention others, Zheng's daughter-in-law was frightened when she saw it. She couldn't help asking, "mother, are these all bride price?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded and said, "today is different from the past. Whether it's man Bao or Shan Bao, they have a lot of people. From this point of view, we have to make some preparations for the future, so the bride price of Shan Bao can't be bad, so man Bao's dowry can stand up."

She said: "I know what those people outside think. It's just that we Bai's family is declining, and Shanbao has no father or brother to help. Man Bao was born in a poor family. Although he is deeply favored by the king, he is a little different from the aristocratic family. This wedding, I'll show them the details of the two families. "

The Zhou family doesn't have any details, but the Bai family does.

According to Mrs. Liu's understanding of the Zhou family, how much bride price she sent in the past, I'm afraid that in the end, except for cash, everything else will be sent back.

And cash can also be exchanged for other more decent dowries.

Although these things changed from Bai's to Zhou man's personal property, she has only one grandson. Isn't the grandson's daughter-in-law's grandson's?

Mr. Liu's eyes are bright, and it's time for those people in my family to see if their one has declined. Hum.

Across a corridor from old man Liu, man Bao of the two yards was climbing to close the window. After closing the window, she sat cross legged on the bed into the space and counted her money.

In June, when Zhou Silang returned to Beijing, he gave her the money for selling gems and spices, most of which was silver and the rest was copper.

Man Bao didn't take the copper money into the space. It took up too much space. Generally speaking, she would only put more than a dozen hanging copper money in it. If it wasn't enough, she would go home and put some in.

The rest of the copper money was put in the ear room next to her, where she used it as a warehouse. All the belongings she couldn't take into the space were put in it.

There are several sacks of copper money.

Man Bao went to open the box. There were silver in several boxes. There were neat official seals and irregular pieces of silver, but the quality was OK.

Man Bao knows how much money she has. Before counting money, she wrote labels and pasted them on the box. In addition, she has her own account book, so it's easy to know how much money she has.

She counted and was relieved to find that there was a lot of money, so she made room for the two boxes and threw them in the corner.

The next day, Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian were asked to count the silver quietly.

Five hundred Liang was not light. Zhou Dalang took two big baskets and put a lid on them. He and Xiao Qian went back with a basket.

I greeted people all the way. No one knew there was silver in the big basket.

Man Bao thought this method was particularly good, so he turned out two baskets of silver and went to Zhou Ligu. "You have to write me an IOU for your father."

Zhou Ligu was worried that there was not enough money. When he heard the speech, he nodded immediately. After seeing the silver in the basket, he asked strangely, "how do you put it in the basket?"

"It's so inconspicuous that no one notices."

Zhou Ligu immediately lowered his voice and asked, "sister-in-law, can't you tell your family about this?"

Man Bao asked, "just tell your parents what you're doing at home."

Zhou Ligu tangled, "can't you tell the third brother? I'm the best friend with the third brother. I can't hide a lot from him."

"Then tell him," man Bao said. "He owes me money, too."

Zhou Ligu was stunned and asked, "how much do you owe?"

"Like you, it's five hundred Liang."
