Chapter 395 People hate dogs
Lin's father thought very well. Hu San told him that although the houses in Yancheng were expensive, they were also exquisite.
There are more or less ways to get it cheaper.
The old couple discussed the matter of Fat Ya's marriage and prepared thirty taels of silver for the dowry. The other thing was a complete set of furniture and bedding.
Adding it all up, it’s still fifty taels.
Father Lin was also a little worried.
If Shen Wenchen was still the same Shen Xiaolang, they wouldn't be so worried.
When Fat Ya married into the Shen family, she only had to pay five taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and her family even gave her a dowry of four to six taels.
It sounds like they are a good match.
But now.
Shen Xiaolang became Shen Wenchen, the lord of Yancheng.
Their daughter is capable and opens a restaurant, but they can't afford so much as a dowry.
After all, Fat Ya is not the only one in the family, and they can't just take out the two hundred taels of silver.
Even if you add in the dozens of taels of silver that Fat Ya has given to your family in the past few months, you can only make up one hundred and twenty taels.
"Dad, Fat Ya's wedding is coming soon. Why don't we rush to buy a yard first and exchange the money for Fat Ya's dowry, so that she can have some confidence." Lin Yicheng thought for a while, but still shook his head. shook his head.
"Dad, eldest brother is right. Prepare Fat Ya's dowry first." Lin Ercheng pursed his lips, but still did not agree.
Of course he wanted his wife to feel more comfortable.
But if a fat girl gets married and the dowry given by her family is too small, she will be laughed at by others.
"You can eat as much food as you have a big belly." Father Lin's voice was deep.
"Our family is not a rich family. How can we pretend to be fat? If we starve our family just to marry a daughter, then I don't need to take care of my family."
Hearing the anger in their father's tone, the two brothers looked at each other and said nothing more.
Lin Ercheng did have some thoughts of his own.
After all, now that his wife is pregnant, if the family really tightened their belts and gave all the money to Fatty as a dowry, he would have nothing to do with it, but he would have treated his wife and children a little badly.
"You two are now fathers, so you have to think about your wife and children more. Fatty has her destiny. You have done enough as brother and sister-in-law."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the carriage stop.
"Master, we've arrived."
The coachman was accustomed to saying good things, and he was also the most well-informed. Naturally, he knew that the people in his carriage were the city lord's father-in-law and uncle.
"Trouble." Lin Yicheng finished speaking and got out of the carriage first. Father Lin straightened his clothes before getting out last.
Because Sun Cui had one in her belly, Mother Lin was extra careful along the way and even asked the driver to slow down. Father Lin and the others arrived a while later, and then they arrived late.
"Mom, this way."
Lin Ercheng watched their carriage approaching, then hurriedly moved forward and carefully supported Sun Cui.
There were maids and servants waiting at the door of Zeng's house, but they were not Hexiu.
Nanzhi took a strange look, but didn't ask at the time.
"Sister Nanzhi." Miss Zeng is wearing a peach-pink skirt today, with two hairpins in her hair. She has a little makeup on her face and the blush on her cheeks, which makes her look particularly beautiful.
"Congratulations." Nanzhi nodded to her with a smile and handed over the bracelet he had prepared.
She quite likes Miss Tseng.
The little girl always smiles when she sees him, and has a good temper, just like Miaomiao.
"Thank you, Sister Lin." Feeling a chill coming from her wrist, Miss Zeng's eyes were full of joy.
What Nanzhi gave was a jade bracelet. Although the quality was not very good, it was still good.
The Zeng Mansion held a banquet. It was not a big event, but many important relatives and friends were invited.
Master Zeng was taking Wang Jingzhi to recognize someone. When he saw the Lin family coming in, they all came to pick him up.
"Brother Lin." Mr. Zeng has just turned forty and is much younger than Father Lin.
Knowing that Wang Jingzhi had been taken care of by the Lin family in the past two years, Master Zeng also had some respect for them.
They are the ones doing business who know how serious the exodus was back then.
In that case, bringing an outsider with you is a real kindness.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Father Lin waved his hand quickly.
Although the Zeng family is not that powerful in Yancheng, compared to a small family like them, they can only look up to them.
At this moment, Master Zeng called him brother, but he didn't dare to respond.
"Brother, I have thanked you for your hard work these past two years." Master Zeng said it sincerely.
"It's not hard, he is a good boy." Lin's father sighed.
The engagement party went smoothly, and it was even more impressive when Wang Jingzhi and Miss Zeng stood together.
A talented man and a beautiful woman are nothing more than this.
The young man lost his former gloom and restraint.
The moon-white robe made him tall and tall, and his shoulders that were originally buckled spread out again after two years.
Those past are no longer the shackles that trap the young man, just because a woman like the sun stepped into his life.
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help feeling happy when she saw that her former child had a new life.
"Wang Jingzhi, I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine."
Shen Miaomiao held the tea cup and spoke to Wang Jingzhi and Miss Zeng.
"Okay." Wang Jingzhi looked at Shen Miaomiao and nodded.
They used to play together when they were young. At that time, the elders in the village always teased and teased them.
Now that the two have grown up, although they can't compare to their childhood friendship, they are like brothers and sisters.
Miss Zeng knew that they had grown up together, so she just stood aside quietly.
"Wang Jingzhi, please be kind to Miss Zeng. She is a wonderful girl. You must not let her down."
"I know." Wang Jingzhi nodded and paused for a while before speaking again.
"If something happens to you after you go to Kyoto, just send us a message. I will be your brother."
"Okay." Shen Miaomiao smiled and nodded, but there were already some tears in the corners of her eyes.
She also has a brother.
Shen Wenchen and Twelve were speechless.
Surrounded by the little baby's exclamations.
"Uncle, do you live there?" Lin Jian looked at the high attic and shouted.
"no."
Shen Wenchen rubbed his eyebrows and tried to suppress his irritability.
A seven or eight-year-old baby is the age when people hate dogs.
When I was in the academy, I was disciplined by my master, so I could control my arrogant energy after returning home.
It's been less than half a month since the holiday, and they've gone completely wild.
"Brother Shen." Twelve felt there was a chirping sound next to his ears.
He had never thought a baby could be so annoying.
And he seemed to understand why his father threw him into the military camp in the first place.
"You said it." Shen Wenchen sighed, raising a child was really exhausting both physically and mentally.
"Am I right to do this?" Twelve lowered his eyes, feeling a little dazed.
Miaomiao has been packing up and saluting these days, but he always feels that Miaomiao is not happy.
