A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"Xiao Ran, the eldest son of Xiao Zhen, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and Lin Xiaomi, the daughter of Lin Mutu's eldest son, were arranged to be married by a matchmaker."

After a short pause, he continued: "To marry your daughter, I have prepared: one thousand taels of gold!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant carrying the betrothal gifts brought up the two boxes of gold and opened them. In the sunlight, the plump gold ingots shone with golden light, blinding the eyes of everyone present.

In the box, there are 8 gold ingots in a row, 5 rows in a box, neatly arranged and easy to see at a glance.

Who among those present had ever seen so much gold? No, it was a great thing for anyone to have a gold nugget at home. Everyone stared with wide eyes, attracted by the yellow before them, and even breathed more lightly.

"Ten thousand taels of silver!"

Ten more boxes were brought up and opened, and all that was seen was a sea of ​​glittering silver.

Not only the villagers, but also the young man of the Xiao family was stunned. They were not short of money, but they were young and had limited money. More importantly, putting so many together was really spectacular. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva and looking at Lin Dashan with envy. Getting rich overnight, this is it!

"Two gold tea canisters, two silver tea canisters, two silver basins, twenty jade articles, four jade ruyi handles, a set of dragon and phoenix enamel plates, and twenty sets of calligraphy and paintings by famous people."

"One hundred rolls of silk, ten rolls of embroidered satin, ten rolls of soft smoke silk, ten rolls of cloud brocade, six rolls of Sichuan brocade, and three rolls of Phoenix brocade. Twenty quilts. Sixteen sets of clothes for each of the four seasons."

"Twenty sets of pure gold head ornaments, twenty sets of pure silver head ornaments, ten sets of jade head ornaments, and ten sets of pearl head ornaments."

"One dan (50 kilograms) of betrothal cakes. Twenty dan."

"Seafood: 100 kilograms each of abalone, dried oysters, scallops, mushrooms, dried shrimps, squid, and sea cucumbers."

"Eight pigs, eight sheep, eight pairs of chickens, sixteen fish, and sixteen loads of wine."

"Four Beijing fruits: dried longan, dried lychee, dried walnut, and peanuts in shell, one load each."

"Four kinds of sugar: rock sugar, tangerine cake, winter melon candy, and golden candy, sixteen packs each. Tea leaves and sesame seeds, sixteen packs each."

"Sixteen boxes of boxes, incense, firecrackers and gold bracelets, incense (boneless and transparent green), firecrackers (large firecrackers and large cannons), bracelets (dragon and phoenix bracelets). Sixteen packages of each."

"One hundred and eighty kilograms of glutinous rice, sixty kilograms of sugar..."

The steward spoke passionately, and the people listening below were also excited. They never knew that marrying a wife would cost so much. With so much money, no matter how many wives they had, it would not be enough.

There were more and more boxes in the yard, piling up into a small hill.

Lin Dashan didn't know that the Xiao family would offer such a generous betrothal gift. He thought that after he said that, the betrothal gift would definitely be reduced. Who knew...

"There are two farms in Pingyang County: Kunwang Farm and Zhuyun Farm."

"In Kunwang Manor, there are 67 mu of top-quality farmland, 500 mu of medium-quality farmland, and mu of dry farmland. There are farm households and six hilltops. In Zhuyun Manor, there are mu of top-quality farmland, mu of medium-quality farmland, and mu of dry farmland. The farm households..."

"Ten houses in Pingyang County, located at..., and eight shops, located at..."

"Two manors in Ningzhou City... six houses... six shops..."

The butler read out the betrothal gift list in an eloquent voice for nearly half an hour, until his mouth became dry and his throat became hoarse, before he finally finished reading out the betrothal gift list.

He took a breath and said, "The two families are united in marriage, and the contract is signed in one hall. The good marriage is forever, and the match is the same. Look at the peach blossoms tomorrow, which are bright and suitable for the family. I predict that in the next year, you will have endless melons and sweet melons, and you will be prosperous. I hereby write this promise to be together until old age, so that the red leaf alliance can be recorded in the love genealogy. This is the proof."

(The above comes from Baidu)

Everyone was stunned, even Xiao Ran was dumbfounded. His parents gave their wife so many things, wasn't he destined to be a gigolo in the future?

The road ahead is dark and hopeless.

Looking at his future father-in-law, he knew that his daughter-in-law's family was very poor and his father-in-law had no money, so he would probably swallow up part of the betrothal gifts. The more he swallowed, the less pressure he would have. Looking at Lin Dashan's eyes, he was full of expectations.

Just be a little greedy, really, you’re welcome!

After the housekeeper finished reading, he saw that the people below had no reaction at all. What's wrong? Isn't this betrothal gift enough? At least give some response.

Oh my goodness, how rich must the Marquis's family be to be able to build something like this.

If Old Man Lin hadn't been supported by Lin Dachuan, he would have fallen to the ground. This much silver is enough to make a few silver men as big as millet, right?

Wang Sheng thought sarcastically, no wonder his cousin didn't want to marry him, the Marquis's mansion was so wealthy that he couldn't give her that much even if he lived for ten lifetimes.

Lin Dahe's eyes were glowing green. If one of them was his, not only could he continue to take the imperial examinations, he could also divorce his wife and marry another.

Lin Dahai's mind was full of gold, silver and land. Xiaomi got rich! Big brother and sister-in-law got rich overnight! He was so envious! Why is there such a big difference in giving birth to children and raising children?

Taohong, he has to choose carefully, find a good husband, sell it for a good price, and he can live on it for the rest of his life. Looking at his own daughter, it seems that she is not worse than Xiaomi!

Taohong always feels a little chilly.
