Chapter Seventy-Two

Everyone in the Xiang family became busy, and the job of herding cattle fell to Xiang Shan. Now he was the oldest child in the family, and he had to take on the responsibility of leading his younger brother to herd cattle, dig wild vegetables and collect firewood.

Fugui's sister-in-law and the others were also busy all day long. Not only did they have to cook and wash clothes, but they also caught several piglets and dozens of chickens at home, and they also had the remaining four acres of land to clean up.

At this time, Grandma Xiang felt regretful. If she hadn't been so cautious, I don't know how worry-free it would have been to hand over these four acres of land to Fu Bao.

The elder sister-in-law also took time to come back to her parents' house. When she mentioned her younger sister's marriage and the issue of the bride price to her parents and younger brother, the old man of the Wang family said that as long as the husband's family treats his daughter well, the bride price is meaningful. After all, their family does not have any extra money.

Make a dowry.

On the first day of June, the Xianghanhe couple asked the matchmaker to bring a basket of eggs to the Wang family's door. The old man of the Wang family narrowed his eyes happily. He was sincere enough to give them a basket of eggs.

The little girl of the Wang family blushed and glanced at the portrait of Shui Gen brought by the matchmaker, lowered her head and returned to her and her sister's house without saying a word.

The experienced matchmaker knew at a glance that the girl was probably willing, and the smile on her face became a little deeper. As long as the matchmaking was successful, she could get a hundred cash in matchmaking money.

A week later, Xianghanhe and his wife, and Xiangxianggen, came to the Wang family's door with a betrothal gift. There were five taels of silver in a delicate purse, and they also gave fifty kilograms of white rice and flour, and two hundred kilograms of whole grains.

These gifts were a bit shabby, but they also borrowed two knives of pork from their brother-in-law's house and a basket of eggs from their eldest brother's house, which at least showed their sincerity.

The old man of the Wang family happily accepted the betrothal gift. He was very satisfied with the marriage, especially after seeing Shui Gen himself, his smile became even deeper.

Although this child does not look like the reincarnation of Pan An, his appearance is not bad, and his eyes are pure. You can tell at a glance that he is a person with no evil intentions.

And his parents, their in-laws, who look like honest and honest people, should not be able to do such evil things as teasing their daughter-in-law.

The little girl of the Wang family hid behind the door and peeked. When he saw Xiang Gen's eyes looking towards her, his face turned red and he quickly ran away.

And Xiang Xianggen also had a preliminary impression of his wife. Well, she looks a bit like the sister-in-law of the Ping An family, but she is younger and more beautiful.

The two families had decided to get married on June 16th. The two children were really old, one was twenty and the other was eighteen. For people of their age, their children would be all over the place.

On June 15th, Ping'an and Jixiang both took leave, and even Xiangqian came back. Sister-in-law Fugui couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Xiangqian's clear eyes and different temperament from before.

Fu Bao looked at Xiang Qian with sparkling eyes. This was the future Wen Quxing. He didn't see that his heaven was full and bright, and there was also a faint colorful light. "Brother, hug..."

Fu Bao opened her hands and looked at Xiang Qian with eager eyes. She wanted to use the merit points. A future Wenqu star would have inexhaustible merit points.

When Xiang Qian saw Fu Bao, he quickly put down the book basket and picked Fu Bao up. Well, the dumplings seemed to be a lot heavier.

Fu Bao hugged Xiang Qian's neck tightly with his two little hands. The breath on his brother's body smelled so good, and the merit points continued to flow to his soul.

"How have you been studying lately?"

Mr. Xiang looked at the three descendants of the Xiang family wearing long robes, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"Grandpa, Master said that I have made rapid progress. If I can keep this up, I will be allowed to take the boy's exam in February next year." Xiang Qian said.

Mr. Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Xiangchu and Jixiang again. Jixiang also smiled and nodded, saying that he would take the test tomorrow and see if you can win the best. If you can't, keep working hard.

Xiangchu was a little embarrassed. The master said that his heart was not in studying. Indeed, his heart was in the little bison, his younger brothers and sisters, and of course Fu Bao.

"Grandpa, Master said he wants to see my development in the second half of the year. If it goes well, he will let me take the exam. If it doesn't go well, it will be postponed."

Mr. Xiang nodded with a smile. He was not that greedy. As long as one of his family was on the list, two would be the best. Three would mean smoke rising from the ancestral graves.

Ping An took his eldest sister-in-law to her natal family. Her natal sister will be married to Xiangzhang Village tomorrow. As the eldest sister, of course she has to add makeup to her sister.

The wealthy sister-in-law took out a piece of silver worth one tael, put it in her purse and handed it to the elder sister-in-law. The elder sister-in-law quickly pushed it away. Are you kidding? Three and a half taels is enough.

"Take it, your sister is also my sister, and she married her own brother. They live a comfortable life, and we feel comfortable too."

Grandma Xiang also took out a silver hairpin and handed it over: "From Ping An's family, take this. This is a jewelry for our old couple."

My sister-in-law was deeply moved. She must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to be able to marry into the Xiang family in this life. Not only did her husband-in-law treat her with gentleness and respect, but her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law also loved and cared for her.

"Thank you, mother, thank you brothers and sisters. I will definitely tell them when I get back." The sister-in-law carefully put away the silver hairpin and purse, and then went to her parents' house with Ping An.

Early the next morning, Xianghanhe came to Mr. Xiang's house to borrow a bullock cart. Seeing the little bison with red flowers on its head and the cart covered with red silk, Xianghanhe really wanted to kneel down to his elder brother.

Ji Xiang, who was also wearing a new gown, sat in front of the bullock cart and shouted as he walked to his home in Xianghanhe. Along the way, he attracted many eyes, including of course the eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law suddenly thought of her distant relative. The little girl was really good at embroidery. Two days ago, her mother came to her with a silk handkerchief and asked her to show the little girl to her husband's house.

Well, after Shuigen got married, she went to Xiang's house to propose marriage. Well, it was more grand to find a matchmaker. The eldest daughter-in-law had a very good idea in mind, but she followed the oxcart to Xianghanhe's house.

Today, Shui Gen wore a blue gown and looked quite dignified as a scholar. However, the big red flower on his chest ruined this temperament.

Seeing Jixiang coming with an ox cart, he quickly bowed and asked Jixiang to come in and have a sip of tea. Jixiang refused. There is a time to marry a wife, and you can't miss the right time.

The sound of firecrackers started. The eldest son of the Xianghanhe family was getting married today. Everyone was waiting happily outside their house, waiting for coins to be thrown into the Xianghanhe River.

Seeing the bullock carts slowly disappearing and the firecrackers being set off, Xianghanhe looked a little sad. He didn't have many copper coins in his pocket, but there were a lot of villagers coming.
