Chapter 441 The Wang Family
Within two days, Liu Wen led a team to bring out another batch of goods.
The food workshop is also bustling with wages.
Nowadays, let alone Xiahe Village, there are many families who are living a prosperous life because of the Li family.
In eight villages within ten miles, happy events are happening one after another. In this golden autumn, red silk is everywhere.
No, the next day, Pomegranate joined Father Li and the others to drink the wedding wine of the granddaughter of the sixth uncle's family.
I still want to eat both sides, because Xiju is marrying someone from this village.
As usual, only two people from a family can go to have a drink, but every time the Shiliu family holds a banquet, the whole family is invited. This rule has also been formed in the village. Whenever there is a wedding, everyone in the village Yes, come all!
Nowadays, the food is really good. Unlike in the past, when there were eight people at a table and eight bowls of food, there was no need to wash the bowls after dinner. Now there are eight people at the table and eight bowls of food. The leftovers can be collected, and everyone’s seat is no longer like fighting. It’s all about grabbing.
Watching these changes, Pomegranate couldn’t help but nod. This means every household is well-off!
The next day, Matchmaker Jin came to the door again and presented the betrothal gift list prepared by the Fan family to Li Ji and the Song family. If there was anything wrong, they would raise it.
In the previous marriage discussion, the Song family never mentioned why they wanted this gift. She also knew that the Fan family knew the etiquette and would naturally have the matchmaker come to ask.
But unexpectedly, the Fan family directly sent a gift list. This rule is enough.
Ms. Song didn't know many words, so she gave the gift slip to Pomegranate and asked her to read it out.
Pomegranate took the gift and stared at it.
The gift list from the Fan family... is quite generous.
Pomegranate felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
Song was urging, Pomegranate came back to her senses and quickly started to read.
"... Shops in the eight alleys of Luoshui City... Shops in the four alleys of Luoshui City with two entrances to the house... Shops in the east city of Luoshui City... Four sets of pure gold heads and faces... The bride price is six hundred and sixty taels..."
The Song family members also gasped when they heard this, their eyes bulging out in shock.
"How much do you think the betrothal gift is? Six hundred and sixty taels!"
Not to mention the store jewelry, and other customary wedding cakes and fruits, Song Shi Leng was startled.
Think about it, the betrothal gift she gave to the Lin family was only thirty taels. Here at the Huang family, the gift given a month ago was also thirty taels. No matter how rich the family is now, it is still a bowl of water, so it is too much. What do you think about calling her Mrs. Lin?
But the Fan family gave so much as soon as they came up. This is how much they really value their daughter!
After coming back to her senses, Ms. Song couldn't help but be happy. The large betrothal gift given by the Fan family proved that her daughter was good, right?
There was no reason for her to push the betrothal gift out. Anyway, these were all for Pomegranate to take home with her, and she would not keep them at all.
When Matchmaker Jin asked them if they were dissatisfied with anything, feel free to mention it. The gift list could be added or modified. Ms. Song also smiled: No problem.
Pomegranate, on the other hand, has an indescribable taste.
Being treated so solemnly, and not having a heart made of stone, how can anyone remain indifferent?
Hearing that Li Rongzhang said that Fan Jin was leaving for Fucheng early tomorrow morning, Shiliu got up early, took a carriage and left the village, and soon caught up with Fan Jin's car.
At that time, Bafang, who was driving the carriage, heard the rumble of a carriage behind him, looked back, and immediately shouted, "Sir, it's Miss Pomegranate! She's here to see you off!"
The curtain of the carriage was immediately opened, and he poked his head out. Come to think of it, Fan Yu here saw the carriage behind him and started teasing Fan Jin.
Fan Jin on the other side also grinned, extremely happy.
When the carriage drove side by side, the curtain was also opened, revealing a girl in a pomegranate red dress. Fan Jin sat up straighter, but his eyes were almost glued to the carriage opposite.
"Pomegranate, are you going to the store too?" He wanted to say if you would come and see me off, but he felt embarrassed.
Without thinking, Shiliu said, "I'm here to see you off."
Immediately, Fan Jin grinned, and the smile made Shiliu's eyes dazzled.
Fan Yu sat next to Fan Jin, looking here and there, covering his mouth and snickering. With Fan Yu here, it's hard to say some things.
The two cars were walking side by side, heading all the way to the front.
Not long after, we arrived at Dafengji Pier.
Fan Yu came with Fan Jin to see him off, and then drove the car back. Knowing that the two of them must have something to say, he didn't stay much. He waved to Fan Jin with a smile and drove ahead of the car. Gone.
On the pier in the cool breeze, the clothes were blown away.
Fan Jin looked at Pomegranate with a good look, waiting for what she would say.
For a moment, Pomegranate just said: "Pay attention to your health and study hard."
Fan Jindun nodded immediately, "I will work hard. I will give it a try when I wait for the Provincial Examination next year. I hope that after we get married, I will have an official position. When the time comes, I will take you to take office... You can do whatever you want. ..."
Pomegranate understood what he meant. They were pretending to get married. Naturally, they had to stay far away from home to avoid being spotted. It seems obvious that if he becomes an official and a newlywed couple, Lu will be hoping that she can follow him to take up the post -
"If anything happens, just go to Tongwanzhai to find shopkeeper Wu. If you have a family, You can also ask him to help deliver the letter."
She originally said that if Fan Jin wanted to write a letter to his family, he could ask Shopkeeper Wu for help.
But I didn’t expect Fan Jin to remember it in his heart. From then on, he wrote her two letters every month to talk about daily trivial matters. It was as if a husband who was away from home reported the latest developments to his wife at home. It was really just We need a mobile phone, otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to make three calls a day?
But Fan Jin wrote twice a month, never stopping, and over time, it became a habit.
Later, Pomegranate realized that habits are also a terrible thing.
But now, seeing Fan Jin boarding the ship and standing on the deck waving vigorously to her, Shiliu couldn't help but smile and raised her hand to wave to him.
Until the boat was far away, Pomegranate turned around and stopped getting on the carriage. She just walked like this. Within a few dozen steps, she arrived at Datong Warehouse.
Ding Fuguang smiled heartily when he saw her coming, and quickly asked He An to make tea, and then bought some snacks that pomegranates liked to eat.
The father and daughter went to sit in the backyard. The leaves of the big tree behind them slowly turned yellow and fell, covering the ground and even the stone table. It was a different kind of scenery.
Pomegranate reached out and flicked away the leaves that had just fallen on the table, and said, "How much does the adoptive father know about the Wang family?"
"The Wang family?"
Look at the adoptive father. There was a misunderstanding, Shiliu quickly added, "It's the Wang family in Xinglinfang, Fucheng."
Ding Fuguang thought she was asking about his old club, the Wang family. When he heard it was the Wang family, he knew more about it. .
"The Wang family of Xinglinfang and the third young master are not from the same family, but they both happen to have the surname Wang. I heard that the head of the Wang family lives in Hezhou and has practiced medicine for generations. He is also famous in Xinglin. As early as the previous dynasty, At that time, nine out of ten doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital came from the Wang family. Today's Taiyuan Hospital Juan is the younger brother of the head of the Wang family.
The Wang family in Xinglinfang is just a side branch, but it is also very famous. Their Tongxing Medicine Hall is spread throughout Bingzhou, and there is even more of this generation. Acupuncture genius."
"But his surname is Wang Yan?" Shiliu asked hurriedly.
Ding Fuguang nodded, "It's him! Everyone says that he is very talented in medical skills. He is a rare talent in the Wang family, including the main branch, for so many years!"
"Why did you suddenly ask about this Wang family?"
Shiliu shook her head, "I'm just curious, just asking."
What the adoptive father said was similar to what Liu Dong's family heard from him, but Liu Dong's family said it in more detail.
For example, the Wang family was so powerful in the previous dynasty that they were married to the royal family.
What a coincidence, Prince Yude had a Liangdi, who was the daughter of the Wang family.
