Chapter nine hundred and eighty sixth
After the two of them were doing needlework for a while, someone came in outside and reported that the skin he bought was delivered. Lian Man'er asked someone to bring the skin in bundles. The two of them did not do needlework, so they took a few close-fitting girls to check and pick them one by one.
There are shops selling all kinds of skins in the mansion city, but even Man'er's family wants more and the best ones this time, so they didn't buy them in the shop, but sent people to search everywhere. A total of more than a hundred high-quality furs were found, including golden rat, silver rat, sable, white fox, red fox, all of which were the thickest autumn boards, without any variegation.
Such a skin is naturally valuable, and even in the shops of the city, there is no choice for a few. Marriage between men and women is the top priority in life, and it is even more so in this era. Powerful families want to prepare all the things they will use in their lifetime at once.
Not to mention the other things I bought, just these skins, it is almost enough to use them even in my life.
There were about one hundred pieces of skins, and finally Zhang picked one hundred pieces and wrapped them all carefully, preparing to give Lian Man'er a dowry.
We don’t use these, and take them over to you. In the future, you will live your own life and buy one or two pieces a year, which will be enough for you until you are old. Zhang told Lian Man'er that when Lian Zhier got married, it can be seen that Zhang is generous and unwilling to take care of her daughter in buying dowry. This is also the tradition of Zhang's family.
Nothing is needed for these? Lian Man'er laughed. This fur clothes are not like other things. They are not used to buy them every year.
Ordinary people can wear one piece for five or six years or ten years. But the Shen family is not an ordinary family. Zhang said, "In the past few years, I have been careful. I don't look at others, but I just look at Grandma Shen San. There are new big sweaters every year."
Lian Man'er was a little moved. Zhang was not smart, but he was reluctant to pay attention to it, because he really thought about her. Grandma Shen San can indeed be regarded as a first-class wealthy woman in the city.
Mom, I don’t compare this. Lian Man'er said with a smile.
It’s not about comparing, and you can’t be worse than others. Zhang said, “This, your father and you, and your brother have already discussed it. I know, in the future, Master Six will definitely not treat you badly. Master Six is Master Six. What we give is given to our family. Now it’s not the past. If it were the past, our family wouldn’t think of it. Now if we have it, we will keep it all. You have a lot of things in your hands, and no matter when the time comes, you won’t be worried.
Well, Lian Man'er nodded. Zhang said this, if she wanted to give in, it would seem empty.
Moreover, it has to be admitted that Zhang's words are considered to be the most sensible saying. Especially in this era, dowry is the dignity of a woman. Moreover, from the dowry, a woman truly has the property protected by the law and recognized by the world, which is completely for her own control.
Even if the family doesn't arrange it for her, even Man'er herself has to arrange it. This is an opportunity to own her own property openly.
One hundred pieces of leather were kept for Lian Man'er to use in the future, and dozens of pieces of leather were left outside. This was to be made for Lian Man'er's clothes.
Mom, this really doesn’t work so much. Lian Man'er said again, look at me, I guess I can still grow up. Now I have made clothes and I can’t wear them for two years, and it will be a waste at that time.
Well, if you don’t do this for you, just follow the rules in the city and follow the big show. Zhang thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, “You have to make two more pieces for your brother, your father and Xiaoqi will add two pieces for each, and keep the rest, and give your sister and your brother-in-law one piece for each one.
In a while, Zhang and Lian Man'er settled all the top-notch furs of more than 100 Zhang.
In addition to these high-quality skins, the people sent out this time came to buy a lot of medium-sized and low-quality skins. The two of them did not check these skins one by one, and only sent the girl to check the points.
Those are also given half of them, so you can keep them for the girls in the future and give them rewards. Zhang told Lian Man'er.
After a busy morning, at ten o'clock at noon, even Shouxin and Wulang sent people back. One said he would stay at the village for dinner, and the other said he was left by Master Chen. Therefore, only Zhang and Lian Man'er had lunch.
After a nap, a familiar female family came to visit, and even Man'er also came to talk. After seeing off the visiting female family, an aunt who was in charge came to visit.
They were busy until the evening, and even Shouxin Goro and Xiaoqi came back, and the whole family had dinner together. After dinner, the whole family sat together to drink tea and chat.
Wulang told Lian Man'er that the things he sent to Chen Yi and Shen Shi had already been delivered.
Miss Ninth seems to be in a cold state. She has been at home these days and has not gone out. Wuro said to Lian Man'er again, "I have someone to send something in, and they also sent someone out to ask when you have time to go there."
Miss Ninth is seriously ill, so I will go over to see you tomorrow. Lian Man'er hurriedly said that she originally planned to go to the Shen family again in two days, but now when she heard that Chen Yi was sick, she thought she should go over to see you earlier.
It shouldn't be too serious. Goro said, I heard that I was taking medicine because I was afraid of passing it on to people, and I wouldn't see anyone these days. Man'er, if you go, you shouldn't go next year, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.
Most girls in wealthy families are weak, and things like colds are very common in the village households. They drink a bowl of hot ginger soup or two, cover them with a quilt and sweat. However, in wealthy families, they have to invite doctors to take medicine.
Of course, this attitude of attaching importance is not completely wrong. After all, if colds cannot be treated in time, it will become typhoid fever if it worsens. In this era, there are not people who have lost their lives or have lost their lifelong roots because of typhoid fever.
Moreover, colds are also considered to be contagious.
In this case, Xiaoqi, go over and ask me for some information every day. When Miss Jiu can meet someone, tell me that I will go over and see her again. Lian Man'er will tell Xiaoqi.
OK. Xiaoqi nodded and agreed.
What homework I learned today? Did you meet Xiaojiu? Xiaojiu is fine. The whole family continued to chat. Lian Man'er asked Xiaoqi.
I just came back, and Mr. Chu didn’t teach new homework today, so he just warmed up a few chapters of the book. Xiaoqi told Lian Man'er that he saw Brother Xiaojiu, Brother Xiaojiu is very good. Brother Xiaojiu also asked his sister, and asked his father and mother. Brother Xiaojiu said he would come to our house two days.
After hearing what Xiaoqi said, even Shouxin and Zhang were very happy.
That child, don’t look like he got older every day, he was still the same as when he was a child, and had no airs and was close to others. Zhang said with a smile.
In other words, Xiaoqi laughs with us, and Xiaojiu Ge is also arrogant.
Brother, if you have time tomorrow, Lian Man'er asked Goro again.
If you have any questions, Goro will ask.
Well, Lian Man'er nodded. My mother said she would add two more big sweaters to you. Tomorrow, the tailor shop and the embroidery shop will come. She just measured the size and set the appearance of the fabric.
It will be afternoon tomorrow, and I have to go to the academy in the morning. Goro said, and asked for a drink at noon.
Then let’s go, Xiaoqi, then you will tell Mr. Chu that he will come back half an hour earlier. Mrs. Zhang said, "I will follow you to the truth and you, and I will do it all together." There are many things to do during the New Year this year.
OK. Even Shouxin and Xiaoqi nodded.
Brother, did you invite me in our restaurant or come to my house and Lian Man'er asked Goro again about having an appointment with someone to have a drink.
Without having to arrange a house, I made an appointment in Shundefang. Wuro said.
That's fine. Lian Man'er nodded. If you ask him, when will Xiaojiu come, say hello to the store in advance and ask them to prepare a fat duck.
Nowadays, it’s a good time to eat roast duck, and Chen Xiaopang also likes to eat it.
Well, Xiaoqi smiled and nodded.
The whole family talked and laughed, and after they had eaten, they parted. Wulang and Xiaoqi were going to study at night, and Zhang and Lian Man'er had to take the girls to do needlework and thread, but Lian Shouxin was free at this time.
I went to see the night everywhere. I was a diligent person who was too busy to have sex, so I put on a big jacket and stood up and said. Before the evening, Wan Shuxin would personally check all the places, go to the stables of the courtyards and take care of the horses at home. It was not until the children were asleep that he and Zhang would rest.
When Wulang and Xiaoqi read night books, they would read the hour of Hai. However, Lian Man'er took a few girls to do needlework and thread every day, and then read a few pages of books or account books. They would rest at the beginning of Hai, which was the earliest sleeper in the family.
For several days, even Man'er didn't go out. He just handled some housework every day and did needlework with Zhang. That day, because I heard that Chen Yi's body was getting better and he could get up to meet people, Lian Man'er washed up early in the morning and ate breakfast, and told Zhang that he wanted to go to the Shen family.
You go, and I will say hello to me when I get there. The house is too busy and I can't leave. Zhang said, "You are stuck at home these days and should go out to have a break." You are happy to stay as long as you want. If you don't come back to have a meal, send someone back and tell me."
Alas. Lian Man'er agreed with a smile, brought a few close-fitting girls, picked up two pots of flowers from the garden greenhouse, and took them out to the second door to take the bus.
When Lian Man'er went out, in addition to the maid who was serving her, there were four maids, and the in charge of the business led several servants to accompany her, and came out of the gate and headed straight to the Shen Mansion.
At the entrance of Songshu Hutong, there is a tea stall that buys some hot tea and hot noodles all year round. Lian Man's car sedan left Songshu Hutong at the front of the tea stall. A man dressed in a merchant stood up and left, turned the corner of the street and got on a strong mule and ran past a man in the west of the city.
