Chapter 8： Dowry count

Another example is "a number of fabrics for clothes in the four seasons". In fact, it is either cheesecloth or ge cloth, not to mention the first-class fashionable brocade, and there is not even a single piece of ordinary satin.

That's it, it was packed in several big boxes and divided into four dowries to be packed...

As for "the amount of silver at the bottom of the box", Qiao Xuan finally found the pitiful taels of silver.

Of course, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the daughter of a county magistrate is much better than a peasant girl.

In the eyes of the real county magistrate's daughter, these things are equivalent to bullying and humiliation, but for Qiao Xuan, she feels that she has earned it.

Just talking about those 12 taels of silver is a huge sum of money for the farmer!

Madam Qiao's humiliation may have been a fatal blow to the original owner, but to her, it was nothing.

Compared to being poor and poor, her starting point is not bad. If she wants money, she will earn it herself.

In the future, if you slap the face hard and return it, that will be a joy!

After tidying up, Qiao Xuan generously took out all the cloth and distributed it to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Xu, and dedicated it to tailoring clothes for everyone in the family.

These fabrics are nothing in her eyes, but they are very good things in the farmhouse.

Mrs Fang and Mrs Xu were both startled and couldn't believe it.

Mrs Fang was still a little hesitant, and she was hesitant to want it, for fear that others would say that she was coveting her daughter-in-law's dowry.

You must know that when the daughter-in-law's dowry was brought into the door yesterday, she heard a lot of sour words, especially the two younger brothers and sisters in the second and third rooms. Those words were so sour that they could squeeze out a jar of vinegar.

Qiao Xuan observed her words, her eyes were clear, and she said with a smile: "This is just a little bit of my daughter-in-law's heart. Mother, if you meet your daughter-in-law, how can your daughter-in-law feel comfortable? We are all a family, and we should be intimate and warm. , don't you think so?"

Only then did Mrs Fang accept it with a laugh, and she couldn't help but say: "This dowry is the most important thing in a woman's family, you, take good care of your own things, don't waste it. In the days to come , it's still growing!"

Qiao Xuan's heart warmed, she was really moved, she nodded and smiled, "Mother's teachings, I've written them down!"

She took out two pairs of very bright silk flowers and gave them to her sister-in-law Shao Taotao and her three-year-old niece Shao Qing.

From her point of view, the workmanship of this silk flower looks a bit rough, but it costs twenty-five cents a pair. Who in the country would be willing to buy it easily?

Mrs. Xu was very happy and thanked Shao Qing; Shao Taotao also liked it very much, blushing shyly and thanking her, she happily stuck it on her head, and won a lot of praise and praise from several women.

Qiao Xuan hid a little bit of guilt because she sent fabrics and silk flowers, but she is particularly hardworking when it comes to being nice and compliments.

In fact, when she sent something, she had a little bit of temptation in mind, to test the temperament of her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and aunt. If she was greedy, then she had a good idea.

But I don't want to, it's not like that.

Even if the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, is a little heavy-hearted, it is human nature.

Qiao Xuan was completely relieved.

But she didn't know that Xu Shi was feeling a little uneasy at the moment.

As soon as the fifth sibling entered the door, she was obviously compared to her in every aspect, and she was feeling resentful and sullen in her heart. Seeing her flattering and flattering her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu scolded many times in her heart, "Shameless!"

Who would have thought that the fifth brother and sister would be so generous and give her so much fabric, two of which are still very thick, and can be made into cotton clothes by sewing cotton in winter. He also gave Shao Qing such a beautiful silk flower.

She felt that she was so inappropriate!
