Chapter 706 The Dowry Storm (2)
In fact, after Zhang Caiyun and Lu Bingwu got engaged, Zhang mentioned to Li. In addition to what he could prepare at home, some things had to be bought outside. If those things were done, they could also be bought in the town. However, it would be better to buy them in the county town.
Ordinary farmers may not have this condition, but the Zhang family has this condition, but in the past, because they were far away, it was also a trouble for them to move to the city. But now, the situation is different.
With Lian Man'er's family, entering the city is no longer a troublesome, but quite convenient. Moreover, Lian Man'er's family not only has a house but also a shop in the county town.
"When I came, your father, your brother and your brother, my wife agreed to take Caiyun to the city and buy everything I could buy. I bought it from your shop for the best place to save worry. I know that all the things you enter in your shop are good. We brought all the money." Li said with a smile.
"Mom, let Caiyun choose whatever is available in the shop, and why do you say that it is not worth it?" Zhang said.
"Sister, we have to agree on this." Zhang Wang said with a hurried smile, "Go to your shop to pick things up, but we must give the money as well. Otherwise, we dare not bother you. We will buy it in another place... Our relatives are relatives, and your business is a business, so we can't mess up."
As Zhang Wang said, he lifted up his clothes and untied a close-fitting purse to show Zhang. The purse was bulging, with some scattered silver and a few strings of money inside.
Lian Man'er estimated that she should have nearly twenty taels of silver.
When all other big items were purchased, the twenty taels of silver were considered very heavy for the merchants to marry their daughters.
"I have the final say in this matter." Li said, "I will give you the money to Caiyun for the things he bought in your shop. If you are the eldest sister-in-law, you need to add makeup to Caiyun, that's another matter."
The Zhang family was thinking that they would buy a dowry for Zhang Caiyun, and they would buy any shop. They naturally had to take care of Lian Man'er's shop. Moreover, buying things in their own shop is also worry-free. The money for buying things must be given, so they should not take advantage of Lian Man'er's family.
Zhang thought about what he had in his shop, and although Zhang Caiyun picked it up, she added a box to her.
Both sides have good intentions, so this argument is naturally friendly.
"Mom, just listen to my grandma." Lian Man'er thought about it and said to Zhang.
There are many other ways to subsidize Zhang Caiyun, and considering all aspects of the situation, it is best to subsidize him in the dark.
This matter was settled. After everyone had a meal, Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian went back to Li, while Zhang Wang and Zhang Caiyun stayed.
The next day, the Lian family prepared a carriage and horse, leaving only Lian Shouxin to visit the house at home. Xiaoqi followed Mr. Lu to study, Wulang, Zhang, Lian Man'er, Lian Zhier, Li, Zhang Wang and Zhang Caiyun took three cars to Jinyang County.
Because it was not early to come out of Sanshiliyingzi, the group arrived at the house in Liushujing Hutong. After a little rest, after dinner, Manager Jiang brought people and brought various items to choose from for them.
"They are all new and most popular products this year." Shopkeeper Jiang smiled and said.
Before coming to the county town, everyone had already communicated carefully. The Zhang family had already prepared something and planned to purchase something. Lian Man'er knew the Zhang family's budget and knew it. She simply put out a list and once she arrived at the Liushu, she handed it over to Manager Jiang and asked Manager Jiang to arrange it.
Therefore, Manager Jiang sent the best goods listed on the list and asked them to choose slowly. This is much more convenient and comfortable than going to a shop.
"Oh, these old things are enough to open a grocery store." Zhang Wangshi smiled happily when she saw the things on the floor.
"It's not that old. The best people in the shop are here, let's choose whatever you want.
"Liang Man'er said.
The Zhang family has prepared large pieces of furniture, bedding, ruler heads, jewelry and other items for Zhang Caiyun. This time, Li and Zhang Wang planned to only buy a few more ruler heads for clothes, and then choose two more exquisite decorations. The rest of the money is to give Zhang Caiyun two fashionable jewelry.
Seeing that they took out these things, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little dazzled.
Zhang already knew Li's plan, so he took Zhang Caiyun to pick it up and choose the ones he had, and then showed it to Li and Zhang Wang. In the end, the three of them only chose four rulers, two pairs of porcelain vases, and some silk flowers and beads.
"Pick out another set of lacquerware prepared for my sister." Lian Man'er told Manager Jiang.
Manager Jiang agreed, and in a short while, he picked out a set of them. There were four pieces of different sizes of holding boxes, four pieces of trays, four pieces of small storage boxes, two pieces of food boxes, and two pieces of storage boxes. The patterns of red paint carvings were also very rich, festive, with various origami flowers, pomegranate hundred-sper picture, etc.
This set of lacquerware is exquisitely crafted and can be used as decorations and practical.
Lian Man'er also picked another vermilion makeup box for Zhang Caiyun.
“This makeup box is not needed.
"Zhang Caiyun refused, "Man'er, you don't remember. You have already given me a makeup box before, and I'll just use that at that time."
"I remember that." Lian Man'er smiled, "That's a little small and not happy enough. You can use it normally. This is the one used by the bride."
Lian Man'er said it well. Although the makeup box he gave Zhang Caiyun last time was also beautiful, the colors and patterns were lighter, which was more suitable for girls. If Zhang Caiyun wants to get married, he naturally needs to change to a bigger and more joyful one.
Lian Man'er opened the makeup box layer by layer for Zhang Caiyun to see. The makeup box also had a dressing mirror. Whether it was the carvings outside or the small drawers inside, they were all very delicate and beautiful. Zhang Caiyun became more and more happy the more he looked at it.
"If you are interested, then stay." My daughter had such a big event in her life. When Zhang Wang saw that Zhang Caiyun liked her, she nodded.
Zhang Caiyun likes this makeup box very much, but she also knows her own budget. Although she is tough, she is also a sensible girl.
Lian Man'er glanced at Zhang Caiyun and knew what she was thinking now.
"Don't worry about not having enough money, I'll do it for you." Lian Man'er said.
Lian Man'er asked Manager Jiang to calculate how much these things cost in total. Manager Jiang didn't need to make up for it, and in a while, he calculated the price.
When they heard the number that Manager Jiang said in the last time, Li, Zhang Wang and Zhang Caiyun were all shocked.
"I'm wrong, it can't be so cheap." Zhang Wang said. Even if you buy these things from the town, the price should double. Moreover, those things are definitely not as good as those here. Moreover, everyone knows that things in the county are more expensive than those in the town.
"How could Manager Jiang's account be wrong?" Zhang said with a smile.
"…………………If you want to sell it to someone else, it is not the price." Lian Man'er said, "But we buy it ourselves. As long as we don't lose money in the shop, can we really make our own money?"
"This is the reason." Zhang said.
The things that Zhang Caiyun picked for Zhang Caiyun were calculated by Manager Jiang, who calculated the purchase price, and of course it could not be compared with the sale price.
Li and Zhang Wang did not give in too much, and they still said that they would not make money in the shop, and they would not make money.
After picking things from Lianji Department Store, the group came out again and arrived at the largest jewelry shop in the county. Zhang Caiyun had the old jewelry saved by Li and Zhang Wang, and he planned to make two more fashionable jewelry pieces.
Zhang did not interfere with this, but waited for them to choose, and asked the shopkeeper to take out a few sets of faces to pick them for Zhang Caiyun.
"………………Caiyun and her eldest uncle have discussed it and plan to give Caiyun a set of makeup..." Zhang said with a smile.
Few women in the village households have a complete set of faces. But now Lian Man'er's family is doing well, and it is not difficult for them to have faces. As an aunt, Zhang has such a desire, so Li and Zhang Wang will naturally not stop him.
"Your aunt gave it to you, please choose what you prefer." Li and Zhang Wang both said to Zhang Caiyun.
Zhang Caiyun was naturally excited and asked Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er to choose a set for her.
The whole family stayed in the county town for one night. The next day, they invited a tailor to come over and cut the clothes for Zhang Caiyun in the most fashionable style. Only then did the group leave the county town and return to Sanshiliyingzi.
After the car entered the cross-yard, Zhang and others went back to the house first. Wulang and Lian Man'er watched the people unload the goods from the car. This time they entered the city, not only helped Zhang Caiyun to buy a dowry, but also Lian Zhier and some things they needed at home, which were a lot of. Xiaoqi heard that they were back in the study, so he took Mr. Lu for leave and came to join in the fun. Seeing that the things were almost moved, Wulang took the things he bought for Mr. Lu and took Xiaoqi back to the study first.
Lian Man'er was walking at the end, watching someone move the last thing into the house. Out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw someone leaning his head at the gate of the yard.
"Who is outside, what does it look like?" Lian Man'er said to Han Zhong's wife.
As soon as Lian Man'er finished speaking, the hidden door was pushed open, and He walked in with a smile on his face.
When she saw that it was He's Lian Man'er, she was surprised. Originally, she thought it was a long-term worker or wife who didn't understand the rules, so she wanted Han Zhong's wife to teach her a lesson, but she didn't expect it was He. Lian Man'er's family clearly did not welcome He, but He was not a tactful person. She sat at Lian Ye'er's house every day, and she had to go around Lian Man'er's doorstep back and forth. She would break in when she had the chance.
