I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times

In the end, Old Man Jiang couldn't bear to leave his son and grandson behind, so he spent money to hire someone to collect the grain. Mrs. Liu was so heartbroken that she cried.

After harvesting the grain, Jiang Youguang returned from the county town.

Jiang Youtian looked at him and replied lightly, "I'm back."

He turned around and went back to his room.

Old man Jiang looked at his youngest son, his face beaming with joy, thinking that maybe this time he would really become a scholar.

"You Guang, what's up? Didn't your elder brother tell you to wait until the results are announced before coming back?"

Jiang Youguang whispered in his father's ear, "Dad, this year is different from the past. The new county magistrate is about to take office. The chief clerk said that for the sake of safety, we should wait until the new county magistrate arrives before announcing it."

Old man Jiang was excited: "Can it be done?"

"Dad, I guarantee it will be safe this time." Jiang Youguang looked confident.

"well."

His long-cherished wish is about to come true. His Jiang family is going to be successful and someone will become an official!

Jiang Youguang's confidence also infected Liu, who was overjoyed. Her son would soon become an official, and she was the official's mother. Look at him showing off over there!

Jiang Youshan began to collect stones, three cents for a cart of stones. Soon the yard was filled with stones of all sizes. Some villagers were sloppy and pushed their carts over without filling them up. Jiang Youshan was reluctant to ask for more, so he just paid him three cents.

Jiang Yue had no choice but to say to the person who was leaving: "My family agreed to charge three cents for a full cart of stones, but your cart just now was not full. If you do this again next time, I won't dare to accept your stones."

The man was embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "No, I won't do that again. I will definitely fill it up full next time."

Jiang Youshan felt ashamed and glanced at Jiang Yue secretly, only to be given a big eye roll in return.

Jiang Yue shook his head. It is hard to change one's nature. His father's temper might not change. The honest man believed that suffering a loss is a blessing.

While everyone is busy here, there is a quarrel over there.

Jiang Xue looked excited and hid in the corner to eavesdrop.

Jiang Youshan was puzzled: "What's wrong? Haven't they all been collected?"

Cai was speechless. Wasn’t she very happy the past two days?

Soon, during dinner, Jiang Xue learned about the situation over there.

"The noise over there is about building a house."

Cai clapped her hands and said, "Is it Jiang Changshun who is proposing marriage?"

"Not only that, there is also Jiang Youfang."

The crops have been harvested, the land has been turned over, and wheat has been planted. The farm work is done, and his son's academic achievement is almost certain. Isn't it time to take care of things at home? The two biggest things in Old Man Jiang's family now are marrying off his daughter and finding a wife for his grandson.

Li was anxious to find a wife for her son, so she went to Liu's ear every now and then to nag her. Liu scolded her but she still went there. Not only that, she also asked around to find a woman of the right age.

Regarding these two matters, Jiang Youfang's marriage had been mentioned a long time ago, but most of the things were put on hold in the meantime, and now it is being brought up again.

Liu was also anxious to marry her daughter off. She knew her daughter's thoughts and deliberately made it clear to the matchmaker that she didn't want her daughter to suffer. The matchmaker immediately understood that she wanted to find a man from a wealthy family. After several attempts, she finally mentioned the Jia family in the town. Liu was very happy. Jiang Youfang went to the man's house yesterday to see him. She saw that he was handsome and had a good appearance.

Jiang Youfang blushed, obviously very satisfied.

The second son of the Jia family also took a fancy to Jiang Youfang's face and figure, and was moved. He smiled like a pervert.

The matchmaker clapped her hands and it was done.

The two families understood each other and started talking about the marriage. The maid from the Jia family said with a smile that his family was not short of money and was willing to give 60 taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

Liu was so excited that she almost fainted. Such a generous gift, her daughter was so lucky. The betrothal gift was sixty taels, and other gifts were indispensable.

The two families became more and more affectionate, and the matchmaker struck while the iron was hot and immediately asked for the horoscopes to find a match. In fact, matching horoscopes is just a formality. The two children fell in love with each other, so they must be matched, even for the sake of the betrothal gift.

In fact, both families knew that the marriage was completed. As for when to get married, they just had to wait for the horoscopes to match and then they could set the date.

Liu came back excitedly, her old face blossoming with a smile.

The whole family is happy.

The three sisters-in-law thought to themselves: She’s finally married.

It will go more smoothly for Jiang Changshun.

The matchmaker was talking about a girl from Chenjiazhuang, who was brought here today to be seen. The girl's parents were very understanding and praised the Jiang family highly, saying that this family was great, as they had an uncle who was taking the imperial examination and their grandchildren were all studying.

As for Li, she saw that the girl had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a tall stature, and a big butt. This girl looked perfect for childbearing! She slapped her thigh and decided to take this girl. Even if the girl's family wanted twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, that was nothing. After all, it was the man's money.

Both parties were very satisfied with the meal.

Just when the girl and her family were about to leave, the girl's father asked where she would live after she got married.

Old man Jiang touched the corner of his clothes silently and said, "Live in the backyard. There is room in the backyard."

The girl's parents' faces turned black. The backyard was a mess, with a pigpen and a toilet, and the house was dilapidated.

Seeing that the man's face was not right, Old Man Jiang hurriedly explained: "The backyard was demolished to build a new house for the new bride to live in."

The girl and her family smiled happily and followed the matchmaker with satisfaction.

Mrs. Liu frowned. Her daughter's dowry was not enough, so how could she have the money to build a new house in the backyard?

"Clean up the east wing and it will be habitable."

Old man Jiang frowned, "Changshun got married, and Changping and Changli will be the next ones to come. Sooner or later, they will have to get married."

Liu was still unhappy: "How do I give Fang'er her dowry?"

According to the rules, the dowry and the betrothal gift must be equal to make it look good. Only those who are shameless enough to sell their daughters would withhold the betrothal gift and not give the dowry.

Old man Jiang was the most proud person. He loved his daughter, and originally he thought that he would give her a dowry in proportion to the betrothal gift, so that she could have a stronger position in her husband's family. But now, the betrothal gift was sixty taels. It was beyond his expectations.

"Just watch, it's almost done."

Liu was calculating in her mind that she definitely couldn't keep the sixty taels. If she added more, her sons might get upset. However, she had been secretly saving it all these years. When the time came, she would quietly add some and take some from the palace. It would be enough for her daughter to marry in style.

The Jia family is really rich. Yesterday's banquet was all meat and vegetables, which shows that they live a prosperous life. Youfang will definitely not suffer if she marries there. But the eldest daughter-in-law of that family is smart and knows how to deal with things. Yesterday she kept calling her "Auntie". Oh, how can I be fooled by her? This will cause me to fight with my daughter for the family property in the future.

Liu was proud of her daughter's good looks, and she charmed Jia's Erlang at first sight. Her daughter was pretty, and she looked a bit like... Liu tapped her forehead and couldn't think anymore.

No, my daughter’s dowry must be generous so that she can gain a foothold in the Jia family and hold her head up high.

Thinking this way, Liu hurriedly called everyone together and talked about the dowry.

Jiang Youcai was furious when he heard this: "Mom, what are you talking about? Add 80 taels to my little sister's?"

Liu had no expression on her face.

Qian was stunned and winked at Jiang Youcai.

Jiang Youcai's heart was bleeding: "Mother, please explain it clearly. Is it just the 80 taels of dowry, or is it also including the dowry clothes and plates? Or is it just the silver? No gifts?"
