Chapter 34
After buying the cloth, my aunt went to the silver building and bought a pair of small silver cloves and a small silver hairpin with peony head for her daughter. The eldest aunt thinks that her daughter is going to look at each other. It's time to dress up. All these things can be used as dowries in the future.
Lin's mother also wants to buy two pieces of jewelry for you, but she is stopped by you. Lin's mother thought about all the jewelry her daughter wore when she just came back. She knew that her daughter was afraid she couldn't look up to the town, so she didn't insist on it any more. She just thought that she would go to the county to buy two good ones for her daughter after a while.
After shopping, we went home together.
After coming back from the town, leisurely began to be busy. August 29 is Mrs. Shen's birthday. Although she is no longer a slave in Shen's house, she doesn't intend to break the contact with Shen's house. After all, in this era, it is very important to have a strong backing. Shen Fu is undoubtedly the biggest backer she can find now.
August is the season when osmanthus is in full bloom. What she prepared for Mrs. Shen is a large screen with golden osmanthus pattern. Today's embroidery patterns are mostly peony, hibiscus and other flowers. Few people can embroider flowers like osmanthus. First, it's really hard to embroider the petals of this small flower. The main thing is that the pattern is hard to find. But leisurely can draw the flower appearance, naturally does not feel difficult.
Although most of the embroidery had been finished in Shen Fu, the rest will be finished in a month. Only after August, September 16 is Miss Fang's birthday, and she has to prepare her birthday ceremony. Now it's early June, and there are less than three months left for mounting.
Therefore, overall, the leisure time is still very tight.
Leisurely told his plan to Lin Mu, and Lin Mu He agreed: "you think very well. You have been in that mansion for so many years. Ladies treat you very well. You should bother to prepare gifts for them. You can do your work with ease. I am responsible for everything at home. "
Leisurely hesitating, he said, "in this way, I can't do my homework."
Lin's mother said with a smile, "good boy, you can't worry about these. We still have more than ten mu of land, and the money I earn is enough for daily use. Hengli, your brother has already handed in his bundle of studies this year, and he often helps the college copy books, which is enough for his own pocket money. Besides, I still have more than 30 taels of silver that I have saved these years to redeem you. Two days ago, we had asked someone to look at each other. If there is suitable good land, we will buy a few mu more. I'll save you some dowry. "
Leisurely quickly lowered his head and whispered, "what does mother say? However, since mother wants to buy land, she might as well buy more. I have also accumulated some silver in my residence these years. I'll take another hundred taels later, plus twenty taels from today's Embroidery sale and thirty taels from my mother. That's a total of 150 taels of silver. I can buy more than 20 acres of good land. With the 100 mu of land awarded by my wife, the harvest of these fields will be enough for our daily use, and my mother doesn't have to work so hard. "
Lin mother quickly refused, "how good is this? Your silver is what you have worked hard to save over the years. It's better to keep it as a dowry in the future. How can I spend your money? "
Leisurely exhorted, "mother, don't refuse. Isn't it right for me to be my daughter's filial mother? What's more, silver is dead in your hand. If you buy land, you will get some harvest every year. "
After leisurely repeated persuasion, Lin's mother accepted her daughter's kindness, but she also had her own idea in her heart.
It happened that a family in the village had made a fortune by doing business in the county. They were ready to move to the county. They wanted to sell all the land in the village, leaving only the ancestral house. His family has more than 30 acres of good farmland, and the market price is 7 Liang silver per mu. Because they are sold to fellow villagers, the owner wants 62.1 mu. Lin Mu spent all her savings to buy 25 mu, and the rest was bought by other people in the village.
And there are 20 mu of land in the title deed that Lin Mu took home, which has written leisurely's name, which makes leisurely very moved. In this era, most mothers prefer boys to girls. Some people want to peel their daughters off several layers to subsidize their sons. It's rare for Lin Mu to love her so much. And leisurely also talked with Lin Mu, the land can be recorded in his name, but the annual harvest is still used to supplement the family. After all, my younger brother will take the imperial examination in the future, get married, have children and so on. The big spenders are all behind him, so I always have to think about him.
It's not a leisurely way to spend your own money on others. But the world is like this. If a woman has a promising brother, her life in her mother-in-law's family will be much better. Even if, compared with the history of women's imprisonment has been much smaller, but there are still many unfair.
In the so-called "equality between men and women" of modern times, men and women are not really equal, let alone in this feudal society?
Now that you're here, you have to follow the rules here. This is the most basic law of survival.
Soon to the day of the jade lotus blind date, leisurely did not show up, just asked his mother to bring a delicate flower.
When Lin's mother came to Yulian's house, she saw that the house was clean inside and outside. And Yulian is shyly standing at the door of the hall, being teased by a group of seven aunts and eight aunts.
Seeing that Lin's mother came by herself, Yu Lian's mother quickly asked, "why did my sister-in-law come by herself? Didn't you say Youran would come? "
Lin's mother came up to Yu Lian Niang's ear and said in a low voice, "that child is just a child. It's inconvenient to come here. He's just at home."
The jade lotus mother said regretfully, "Oh, that's really not a coincidence. However, if this time we are engaged, we must let her come. " Mother Lin answered with a smile.
Hearing leisurely something can't come over, Yulian doesn't know whether she should be happy or lost. Happy is, leisurely regardless of appearance bearing all wants to be stronger than oneself, she does not come will not snatch own limelight. What's lost is that she always has a good heart for leisurely. Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to have more contact with her and deepen her feelings. Unexpectedly, she didn't come.
However, when Yulian saw the exquisite headdress brought by leisurely Tuolin's mother, she was only happy. This is a rose red peach blossom made of gauze. The gauze Satin makes the red look a little more hazy and beautiful, and the workmanship is lifelike. At first glance, it is not something that can be found in the countryside. Lin mother will help the head flower jade lotus hairpin to the head, immediately gave her a bit of glory.
Hear the side of a praise, Yulian thought leisurely sister is still very good, willing to give himself such a beautiful flower.
