Chapter 69 The Ye family’s decision
Thinking of last night's craziness, Su Tai blushed, hurriedly grabbed her clothes, put them on randomly, and sat in front of the dressing table.
The dowry she brought yesterday had not yet been packed away, and now she had time to put everything away, starting with her dowry jewelry.
Mrs. Han prepared a silver hairpin for her, a pair of silver bracelets and a silver necklace. She bought herself a jade hairpin with beads and silk flowers, as well as the hairpin that Su Yu gave her before. From this point of view, there are quite a few. It feels like something is missing.
Just as she was thinking hard, a dowry suddenly appeared beside her.
Su Tai raised her head in surprise and looked into Shen Yi's deep and gentle eyes, "Prepared for me?"
Shen Yi smiled lightly and nodded, "Originally I wanted to send it to your house together with the betrothal gift, but then the second aunt said that everything was complete, and the dowry was not a pair, so I secretly kept it as a surprise for you."
Su Tai was really pleased and hurriedly opened the box.
The entire dowry is made of fine ebony, with lifelike carvings of flowers, birds, insects and fish, and is also inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which is very delicate.
The first layer is movable, and there are three small layers inside. Rouge and gouache is placed on the top, lipstick is in the middle, and a delicate wooden comb is placed below.
The second floor is divided into two small compartments, with a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of jade bracelets on the left, and a pair of pearl earrings and a pair of silver earrings on the right.
Su Tai's eyes widened instantly, "I remember, my mother didn't prepare any earrings for me!"
No wonder she always felt like something was missing.
Shen Yi's smile deepened and he took out the pair of pearl earrings and helped her put them on.
Su Tai opened the last layer, which contained hairpins and hairpins.
This makeup package should contain two sets of hair and face masks.
"These must cost a lot of money!" She held the things lovingly, raised her head and looked at Shen Yi eagerly, her eyes were really endearing.
Shen Yi touched her hair and said warmly: "It's not much. The dossier is made by a master. It costs six taels of silver. The two sets of hair and face add up to twelve taels, totaling twenty taels."
Su Tai couldn't help but take a breath of air, and her hands holding the dowry tightened inexplicably, "Are you getting rich?"
Shen Yili was happy, and while helping her do her hair, she explained, "You didn't ask me to buy more fields. This year, I worked hard to take care of them. I sold the profits from the fields and earned more than five hundred taels. These It’s all what you brought to me, and it should be used on you.”
Su Tai calculated the account with her fingers, "The betrothal gift you gave me is two hundred taels. Plus these dowries and the things I bought for my home, wouldn't there be not much left?"
"There are still more than four hundred taels." Shen Yi opened the cabinet and took out a bag of silver from the mezzanine. "These are all my belongings. I will leave them to you for safekeeping from now on."
Seeing that he was not hiding anything, Su Tai would be lying if she said she was not moved. She immediately dug out the money she had brought and said, "My parents gave me two hundred taels as a dowry, and I have saved more than three hundred taels myself. It’s a bit more than you, so our two families have exactly one thousand taels!”
Not that they didn't know, but both of them were frightened.
At this time, there was a knock on the door from outside, "Shen Yi, open the door!"
"It's the second aunt." Shen Yi said.
Su Tai quickly collected all the money.
Shen Yi helped her open her cabinet, and then used her skill to open the hidden compartment for her, "Our family's money will be kept with you from now on. You can think about it later and hide it separately. Don't put it all in one place. I'll go out and give it to you first." Second aunt opens the door."
Su Tai nodded. As soon as Shen Yi left, she immediately took out two hundred taels of silver from the package and put it into the secret compartment. The rest was sent to the Gate of Time and Space transfer station.
It will never be lost wherever you put it.
After doing this, she looked at her dress again and made sure that there was nothing wrong before opening the door and going out.
Mrs. Xu was talking to Shen Yi in the main room. When she saw Su Tai come in with a peach-like face, she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. "Seeing that you guys are doing well makes me feel at ease!"
Su Tai quickly poured a glass of water for Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu drank it generously, and then started to discuss the matter of Su Tai's worship.
After all the work was done, Mrs. Xu hurriedly went back.
Seeing her leaving in such a hurry, Su Tai was a little puzzled, "Isn't the autumn harvest over? What else does Second Aunt have to do?"
Shen Yi chuckled and said: "This year, my second aunt followed me to plant crops, and she also had a good harvest and made money. She has money in her hands, so she will naturally learn from me to buy land and build a house. These days, my fishing boat has been used by my second uncle and cousin. They took it to get rocks."
"This is a good thing!"
The Xu family are all good people and they treat her well. They are Shen Yi's only relatives in Shenjiazhuang. Su Tai is naturally happy to see them live a good life.
Shen Yi didn't have a fishing boat, so he stayed at home with Su Tai, and the two lived a happy wedding day.
At the same time, the Han family in Dongmen Village was completely free after marrying off their daughter, and immediately led Sun Nizi to the old house.
When the five Ye Chunhua sisters saw the Han family, they immediately guessed their purpose.
"Aunt, please sit in the house." Ye Chunhua calmly led them into the house and said: "I agree to what aunt said before. I am willing to marry. If aunt doesn't dislike it, my sister can also marry with me. Ke family."
"Hey! This is a huge happy event for us, how could we dislike it!" Mrs. Han smiled from ear to ear.
I thought I had to find a way to find a daughter-in-law for the Ke family, but now that someone is willing to marry her, it's like pie in the sky.
Xia Hua on the side said: "But we have a request."
"You say it, you say it." Sunizi was so excited that she was trembling as she spoke.
The two sisters glanced at their three brothers reluctantly.
Ye Chunhua moved her lips and said: "Auntie also knows that the five of us siblings depend on each other. Originally, I was the only one willing to marry far away from the ice field, but my sister was worried that I would marry so far away alone, and the five of them took care of me, so she thought of marrying me together. In the past, there were only three people left in the village, my brother and I.
After the two of us sisters got married, it was time for Ye An to get a wife, but the two of us probably couldn't take it into consideration, so we had to ask our aunt for help. "
Han took a long breath and relaxed, "I don't think it's a big deal. If you really marry into the Ke family, we are also real relatives. I am the elder of the three brothers Ye An. This favor will definitely help." .
But it would be best to wait until next year's autumn harvest before discussing. Once everyone is free after the autumn harvest, the three brothers can also save some money and there will be more people to choose from. "
Ye Chunhua nodded gratefully, "Auntie has thought carefully about it, I have no objection."
After saying that, she looked at her three younger brothers and urged her earnestly: "You should marry your wife and live a good life in the village. If you encounter something that you are not sure about, just go to your uncle and aunt. We will be together and you don't have to worry about it. "
Sun Nizi said hurriedly: "From now on, the child's father will take the sheep out every year. If your sister wants to come out, that's fine. She won't miss seeing the boss."
