A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich
Chapter 175 Sky-high betrothal gift
Everyone present had gold and silver in their eyes, and the long gift list in their minds, looking at Lin Dashan with burning eyes. Even Han Yushan clenched his fists in envy. What a pity, what a pity, his daughter, ah, what a pity for a good marriage.
Xia Huo looked at his brother-in-law as if he was looking at a golden bowl. His sister had to be stuffed in even if she had to. Lin Xiaohua just stood there, her mind was completely blank. If her sister-in-law hadn't pinched her excitedly, she would probably have continued to be blank.
How much was her betrothal gift back then? Five taels, which was one of the highest in the world at that time.
Xia Lanhua pulled Lin Xiaohua and said, "Sister-in-law, please help me. I must marry into your family!"
She had always wanted to marry in and enjoy the good life. Today, seeing so many servants, so much land, such a good house, and such a comfortable life, her heart was already unbearable and she could not bear it any longer. Now seeing so much gold and silver, she wanted to pounce on Lin Dashan immediately. As long as she squeezed out Wang's position, she would have the final say on how much dowry.
She likes all these jewellery. She must look beautiful wearing them, right? She must...
Lin Xiaohua wanted to die. Do you think you can do it just because you want to? Who do you think you are? Big brother doesn't want to!
Because of this unknown sister-in-law, she offended her elder brother and sister-in-law. She still dares to covet her elder brother. As a widow, even the small families in the city look down on her. Otherwise, how could she not get married after all these years?
You are neither high nor low. You really think you are a nobody.
Lin Xiaohua was silent, because she was too lazy to pay attention to her. It was impossible to explain to her clearly, she was a self-righteous fool. She would not offend her eldest brother's family for her, especially Xiaomi. She asked her mother to take over. Would she agree? Let others bully her mother? She is now the future wife of the prince, and she can be crushed to death at will. With Xiaomi, no one can shake the position of Wang's family.
Everyone present was amazed at the generosity of the Marquis's Mansion. In fact, this was the most normal gift list among the nobles in the capital.
Old Li's eyes were full of calculations. These things could not be consumed by her family in a lifetime, no, several lifetimes. So, since they could not be spent, wouldn't it be a waste to leave them there?
And in the old Lin family, there were many people waiting to open fire.
Lin Fuqiang looked at the boxes full of gold and silver, and became more determined to please the prince. Everything his uncle had was given to him by others. As long as he was on good terms with the prince, he could have everything.
the other side.
"Miss, Miss!" Daya ran into the inner house, her face flushed with excitement. "The betrothal gifts in the Marquis's Mansion are as numerous as a mountain. The list of betrothal gifts is so long that two servants are needed to help the housekeeper carry it.
So exaggerated?
"have what?"
"Thousands of taels of gold, tens of thousands of taels of silver, and lots and lots of jewelry. The young lady wears a different one every day, and never the same one every month!" Daya's little mouth chattered about the dowry list she remembered.
Old Wang's hand shook slightly as she held Xiaomi's. The village head and the clan leader's wife were even more shocked. Wang was happy that her daughter had a lot of betrothal gifts, which showed that the Marquisate valued Xiaomi. With these things, her daughter would have no worries about food and drink in her lifetime and in the next.
"By the way, young lady, the Marquis's Mansion has also given you many shops and houses, both in the prefecture and the county, as well as thousands of acres of land and thousands of servants!"
Daya was still talking, but Mrs. Wang suddenly started coughing. Xiaomi and Mrs. Wang quickly supported her and gently patted her back.
She waved her hands to indicate that she was fine. She was just scared. My goodness, thousands of acres of land, there was not so much land in the whole village of Wangjia Village.
This granddaughter is truly blessed. Her old eyesight is not blurry at all and she can really judge people accurately.
Everyone in the room was silent and lost in thought, including Quan Xiniang and Tie Niangzi.
We are all human beings, why is there such a big difference between us?
They got married for a few taels of silver, and the two families quarreled, while others would easily spend tens of thousands of silver. They were also women, so were they really just a little less fortunate and inferior to others?
This huge gap really made them doubt their lives. Needless to say, in a few days, this marriage will be the topic of discussion in the city. The betrothal gift from the Marquis's Mansion will be the topic of conversation, and Miss Lin will be the envy of all the girls waiting to be married in the city.
Quan Xiniang took a look at the little girl who had not yet fully grown up. As expected of the girl chosen by the Marquis's Mansion, she was indeed dignified and polite. However, many unmarried girls in the city had these advantages. As for the rest, she really didn't see any difference.
Maybe some people are just born with good luck!
After the betrothal gifts were read out, Lin Dashan had all the things moved into the warehouse, locked it, and found several people to guard it.
The banquet begins.
All the Xiao family members were sitting in the yard, the Lin family’s closest relatives were also in the yard, and everyone else was in the greenhouse.
The female members of the family returned to the inner courtyard and sat down.
When they came, the elders told them not to be rude, not to be picky, and to eat whatever was given to them. They had to be polite and courteous to others.
Therefore, they were tools throughout the process, and were polite to anyone who asked them questions. Many villagers felt that the sons of the Marquis' Mansion were not difficult to get along with. Many people had their own little thoughts, and almost every young family had one or two such people in front of them.
They endured the discomfort and disgust and finally waited for the banquet. They quickly sat down, ate and left. The relatives of the Lin family were really scary. Someone just asked them if they were married, and their sister was still unmarried.
Do you think they are Xiao Ran and are willing to marry a village woman?
