Chapter 494 Shili Hongzhuang
Not only his eyeballs fell into the pot, Zhu Pingan's whole body almost fell into the pot.
What Zhu Ping'an thought of was a bit horrifying, that is, the arrogant, sinister and willful Li Shu was actually the Li family chef who had been cooking delicious food for him for several years...
This girl is When did you start making food for yourself?
Then, Zhu Ping'an remembered the clues from the past. When he borrowed books from the Li family in Shanghe Village, he once told the story of Yitian Slaughter of the Horse. Li Shu had someone bring him a plate of snacks, which seemed to be braised meat. , the appearance is very ugly, well, the taste is even more like a dark cuisine, so unpalatable that it has no friends. I still remember that I asked Li Shu and the others if the Li family had changed their chef. Then, out of an attitude of being responsible for the Li family, I also severely damaged the new cook recruited by the Li Shu family. Finally, I came to the conclusion that this cook was good at cooking. Fan is completely clueless and has no wisdom. For your safety, it’s better to change to another one...
Now, Zhu Ping'an understood why Li Shu would lose his temper inexplicably, throw the plate, and make a bad face after listening to his words. It is said that Li Shu didn't mix a bottle of rat poison for herself at that time, so it was a minor incident.
At that time, it was probably the first time this girl made food for herself.
Then more clues emerged from the bottom of Zhu Ping'an's heart. Zhu Ping'an remembered that when he was reading at Li's house, one time Li Shu said she was going out to change clothes and refused to let the maid follow her, waiting for her. When he came back, Zhu Pingan found that there seemed to be a dark spot on the tip of Li Shu's pink nose. At that time, he thought it was because she accidentally dropped the eyebrow pencil on the tip of her nose while putting on makeup.
Now that I think about it, it must have been the ash from the plants that fell on the tip of this girl's nose while cooking.
Then, Zhu Ping'an understood why this girl Li Shu became so arrogant when he praised the chef of the Li family.
Then, I remembered that I like to get up early to study every day, but the sky is only about five o'clock, the rooster has not yet crowed, and the breakfast carefully cooked by the Li family chef has arrived; Li Mo checked the post, and he went to work in advance, and he had to go out before Mao o'clock, but Every time I have eaten breakfast cooked by the chef of the Li family; how early does this girl get up...
……
Even if Zhu Pingan is slow to react, he can still understand the hidden meaning of a arrogant noble lady lowering her body to cook for herself...
However, when I was a child, my legs were long and short. , Li Shu, who grew up to be a stinky toad and a stupid toad, actually...
Think deeply and fear the extreme
This fact is like a group of horses, suddenly appearing unexpectedly, and then roaring and running unreasonably in Zhu Pingan's mind...
When Zhu Pingan fell into a strange state, Xiahe Village had already It has become a lively sea, with the continuous sound of firecrackers and the suona blowing all over the world. The opera troupe has set up two stages in Xiahe Village and sings cheerfully. The village is crowded with people, and the trees on the roofs at the end of the village and alleys The streets were crowded with people.
The Zhu family’s mansion at the west end of Xiahe Village was hung with red lanterns and red couplets pasted on it. Dozens of tables of flowing water banquets were set up on the road outside the house, where pots were set up and pigs and sheep were slaughtered. , cooking chicken and stewing duck, cutting fish, picking vegetables, and moving the table, the villagers and neighbors all worked together, and the scene was very lively.
Many people came from Qiliba Village and crowded Xiahe Village.
What day is it today? Is Xiahe Village so busy?
To this question, the people who crowd the front streets and back alleys of Xiahe Village can tell you the answer. Today is the big day for Xiahe Village and the current number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Ping'an and the daughter of the wealthy Li family of Shanghe Village. No one will miss it. This excitement.
Everyone knows that Zhu Ping'an is the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knows how rich Mr. Li's family in Shanghe Village is. Everyone has also heard how handsome, well-managed and well-organized Miss Li is. How virtuous and filial
On an island thousands of miles away, the wedding without a bride and groom that Li Shu was worried about took place on time in Shanghe Village to her surprise!
As early as early in the morning, Xiahe Village was already bustling with activity.
People from Qiliba Village occupied the place early, eating the peanuts, melon seeds and candies generously distributed by the Zhu family, and joining in the fun with relish. People who didn't get a good spot also showed their creativity. They climbed a tree and sat on a branch, climbed a wall and built a house. They all turned into Spider-Man and almost reached the sky. The crazy naughty child took the wedding money and candies he had grabbed and ran through the crowd squealing like a runaway pony. Behind him, his mother chased him, shouting worriedly and angrily, "Slow down, slow down. Don’t fall”.
"It's coming, it's coming, the bride-to-be is back."
The crowd in front suddenly exploded like cold water dripping into a frying pan. For a moment, people stretched their necks and looked forward.
Then there was a uniform sound of cold air, which was so shocking.
The scene in front of them simply exceeded their imagination. Generally, a daughter’s family will give a dowry to a girl when she marries. The dowry given by her mother’s family is the woman’s private house, but when the married girl throws water, people give her a dowry. It's all for face value. If you feel sorry for the girl, give more so that the girl can feel confident in her husband's family. Sixty-four dowries for a woman are divided into a whole number, which is called a full dowry. If the dowry is less than this number, it is accompanied by thirty-two dowries, which is called a half dowry. Of course, this is only calculated for big families, but basically not for small families because they can’t afford it. As far as Xiahe Village is concerned, the dowry is only seven to eight times a dozen at most, which is enough to die
But the scene in front of them really almost made their eyes pop out. I almost doubted my eyes.
This dowry from Li Shu's family was simply suffocating them.
Shili Hongzhuang.
It’s really Shili Hongzhuang. There are 128 dowry bearers in front, neatly dressed in red clothes, carrying the dowry. It stretches from Shanghe Village to Xiahe Village. I heard that the tail of the team is waving. It’s a village further ahead from Shanghe Village.
What makes people gasp the most is that the dowry bearers deliberately open the dowry boxes and cabinets to show off the bride’s dowry to people. Did you see, our dowry? But they are all real, not a bit fake, both quantity and quality.
The dowry box carried at the front is open. It is not filled with gold, silver, pearls, jade, or banknotes and gems, but pieces of adobe bricks. Each one is very thick and large. There are maps carved on the adobe bricks. Patterns, people counted, there were a total of twenty such adobe bricks.
Just raising it made people's eyes pop out.
This adobe brick is not an ordinary adobe brick. This adobe brick represents land. This is a convention in the dowry of the Ming Dynasty. There is a land deed under each adobe brick. The size of the brick corresponds to the size of the land. As for the dowry bricks of the Li family, I'm afraid each brick represents ten hectares of fertile land. Twenty yuan is equivalent to two hundred hectares of fertile land. In the Ming Dynasty, fifty acres were converted into one hectare. This dowry is ten thousand acres. Good farmland.
According to convention, "the famous land of a powerful family is limited to a thousand acres." If a family can own a thousand acres of land, it is already an amazing "powerful family". But as soon as the Li family reaches out, it is a dowry of ten thousand acres of fertile land.
Not to mention there is a dowry of more than 100 kilograms later.
This old Li family is marrying a daughter, it is simply marrying a princess. Even princesses don’t have this kind of dowry, right? .
I have long heard that the old Li family is not simple, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
In fact, the dowry bearers of the Li family were very disdainful after hearing the words of people on both sides of the road. One brick is ten acres? It’s a hundred hectares! (End of this chapter)
