A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Here.

Because in the past few years, sisters Zhao Xiaoxiao and Zhang Xiaohua have made a lot of money following Zhang Yunyue.

Xiang added a lot more to the dowry compared to the dowries given to girls in the town. There were two thousand taels of cash in the dowry. Originally, Xiang wanted to give more, but was rejected by Zhao Xiaoxiao. Zhao Xiaoxiao told her mother that she would get a share every month in the future.

But the family no longer had any more, but Zhao Xiaoxiao asked Xiang to embroider the patterns for her in the future, and the mother and daughter would share Zhao Xiaoxiao's share equally, but Xiang refused.

Finally, at Zhao Xiaoxiao's insistence, Xiang accepted 10% of Zhao Xiaoxiao's dividends, which was about one or two hundred taels every month, so that the family could also have income.

In addition to cash, Zhao Xiaoxiao's dowry also included a lot of high-quality furniture that Zhao Jin bought from the county town. It can be said that Zhao Xiaoxiao's dowry was the best dowry in the entire Sanhe Town.

Not only the villagers were discussing this, but even the Zhao family's relatives from other villages were envious. However, their family did not have any children of marriageable age now. The youngest was only less than eleven years old and it would take several more years for him to get married.

Sisters Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xiaohua also went to Zhao Xiaoxiao's room.

There were already quite a few girls sitting and chatting in the room, and the matchmaker was putting makeup on Zhao Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, we are here."

Zhao Xiaoxiao, who was putting on makeup, heard Zhang Yunyue's voice and turned around quickly.

"Yueyue, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, you are finally here, please sit down."

Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, we are here to add makeup to you."

Zhang Xiaohe: "Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao, we have prepared a gift for you."

Zhang Xiaohe took out her makeup and opened the box.

"Xiaoxiao, these are the earrings I bought for you. I think you will look great in them. I hope you will have a happy marriage and a loving couple in the future."

Zhao Xiaoxiao blushed when she heard this: "Okay, thank you Xiaohe."

When the other people in the room saw this, they were instantly surprised and started discussing in a low voice.

After all, other people gave me handkerchiefs and shoes embroidered by themselves, or those with better family conditions gave me rouge and other things. But as for gold jewelry, don’t say that you can’t afford it. It would be great if you had it when you get married.

"Wow, he actually gave me gold earrings. They must be pearls. This is too rich. A pair of gold earrings must cost at least ten taels."

"My sister-in-law's parents bought her a silver hairpin, a pair of silver earrings, and a pair of silver bracelets when she got married, which was already very impressive. I didn't expect them to give her gold earrings as a dowry. They are so beautiful."

Zhang Xiaohua also took out her own make-up gift and opened the box, revealing a gold necklace.

"Xiaoxiao, I also wish you a happy marriage, and may you and your husband live together forever."

Zhao Xiaoxiao said with red eyes: "Thank you, Xiaohua, I will."

"How come they are so rich? They have gold earrings and a gold necklace. I envy Xiaoxiao so much for having such good friends."

"I feel like the one the remaining girl gave is probably better."

"I also think that you can see her temperament better than anyone else here."

Zhang Yunyue opened the box she brought.

Those who were sitting down now stood up.

"Wow, what is this? It looks so rich."

"Yeah, I've never seen that before. Xiaoxiao is so happy."

"Yueyue is so nice to Xiaoxiao."

Many aunts and sisters-in-law outside the house heard the shocked voice coming from Zhao Xiaoxiao's room and followed her into the room.

Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, this is what I bought for you in the city, the Phoenix Hairpin. People say that when a woman gets married, it's like being reborn. I hope you can live a better and happier life in the future, just like the Phoenix Nirvana, with your spouse accompanying you, spending your life together, and having many children and grandchildren."

"Yueyue, your gift is too expensive."

Zhao Xiaoxiao knew that this hairpin would definitely cost over a hundred taels if it was in the city, so she quickly pushed it away.

The Zhang Xiaohua sister and her husband were also surprised by the golden phoenix hairpin in front of them, but neither of them was jealous.

"Nothing. I saw some nice ones when I was shopping in the city. There happened to be three of them, so I bought them all. They will also be available for Xiaohua and Xiaohe when they get married. You three are my best sisters, so just accept them. Don't be so formal with me."

Zhang Yunyue stopped Zhao Xiaoxiao's hand from pushing back.

Zhang Xiaohe smiled and advised Zhao Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, accept it quickly. There's no need to be so formal with Yueyue. Yueyue is rich. Hahaha."

"Haha, yes, Xiaoxiao, don't be shy, I have money, haha."

"Then Yueyue, thank you." After saying this, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Zhang Yunyue helped Zhao Xiaoxiao wipe away the tears from her eyes: "Xiaoxiao, don't cry. You should be happy and blessed today."

Zhang Xiaohe: "Yes, Xiaoxiao, smile quickly, otherwise your makeup will be ruined and you won't look good."

Zhao Xiaoxiao heard what Zhang Xiaohe said and burst into laughter: "Okay, I won't cry anymore."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xiaohua each helped Zhao Xiaoxiao back to sit on the stool.

The other people in the room were already surprised enough, and now they were even more shocked, as if the Phoenix hairpin they had just seen was an illusion.

After all, it is considered good for an average family in the village to have a few taels of silver as a betrothal gift for marrying a daughter-in-law. If a girl in the village can have a few silver jewelry as a dowry, it means that her family loves the girl very much.

Unexpectedly, the dowry given by the three of them has surpassed the betrothal gifts of other families and the dowry of the girl's parents.

Each one's makeup is thicker than the other.

Zhang Yunyue's hairpin alone cost more than one hundred taels, plus the earrings and necklace, the three items together would probably cost one or two hundred taels.

This is comparable to the dowry that girls in the county town bring when they get married, not to mention the various dowries displayed in the main hall.

The aunt who had just entered the room suggested, "Xiaoxiao, today is such a good day, why don't you wear the hairpin that Yueyue gave you when you get married? A bride wearing a phoenix hairpin when she gets married is a good omen, as it represents the phoenix's rebirth from the ashes, and will lead to a happier life in the future."

"Yes, Xiaoxiao, when you wear this when you get married, your in-laws will value you more if they know that your parents value you so much."

"Yes, Xiaoxiao."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, we all want to see how you look wearing this hairpin."

Everyone else in the room advised her to wear the hairpin when she got married.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was now wearing earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet, all of which were gold jewelry bought by Xiang in town.

So the jewelry that Zhang Xiaohua and her sister gave as a gift was placed next to the dowry in the main hall for everyone to see. There were two or three people guarding it, so they were not afraid of it being stolen.

There is a gold hairpin among the jewellery Zhao Xiaoxiao wears, but compared with this buyao, the buyao is more beautiful and more valuable.

Xiang also heard everyone's discussion outside just now. Zhang Yunyue gave Xiaoxiao a particularly expensive hairpin, so she came to Zhao Xiaoxiao's room.
