Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World
Chapter 11 Dowry
Wan Shi is sleeping.
She was overthinking last night and couldn't sleep at all. Early in the morning, she walked for nearly three hours with Li Baolu on her back. After talking with He Zipei, she let go of half of her worries.
Regardless of whether the other party should or should not, she opened her mouth and took the most difficult step, and the rest is resigned to fate.
So Wan Shi fell asleep in the guest room as soon as he relaxed.
Originally Li Baolu was going to sleep too, but before she fell asleep, she heard footsteps, and as soon as she came out, she ran into Gu Jingyun with a serious face, pretending to be an adult.
The other party's expression of I'm the master, so I honor you by entertaining you made Li Baolu even want to go back to the house to sleep.
And she also wanted to know about the Qin family's situation through Gu Jingyun, after all, this was the shelter that her grandmother found for her after all the consideration.
It's a pity that before she asked about it, the other party despised her from various aspects, so Li Baolu resolutely forgot about the business.
She thinks it's not her fault, after all, she's only three years old, and children are forgetful.
As for her past life memory, she had selectively forgotten about it.
Although she was slightly disadvantaged in the confrontation with Gu Jingyun, she was still polite when dealing with He Zipei, so she asked the three of them to sit down in the outer room, and ran back to the inner room to wake up her grandmother.
He Zipei couldn't help laughing when she saw her seriously asking them to sit and wait like a little adult.
A smile flashed across Qin Xinfang's eyes, and she turned her head to glance at her nephew, who, like their family Jingyun, always pretended to be an adult.
But when Gu Jingyun was acting as an adult, he was too serious and lost the innocence of a child, while Li Baolu was cute and stupid. Not only He Zipei, but Qin Xinfang also liked her a little bit more.
Grandmother, Li Baolu pushed Wan Shi, and whispered in her ear twice.
Wan Shi struggled to open her eyes, feeling sore all over her body and dizzy, but she remained calm and smiled at Baolu and asked, What's wrong with Baolu?
Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin are here.
Wan woke up instantly. She didn't expect Qin Xinfang to come back so early. Shouldn't ordinary people wait until the sun goes down before returning home?
Wan tidied up his appearance, and was about to pull Baolu out when he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he stopped and asked, Why do you call them uncle and aunt?
Qin Xinfang and her husband are old friends, even if Baolu is not allowed to call him Shibo, should Baolu call him grandpa?
It was Aunt Qin who asked me to call it that way, Baolu said, Aunt Qin said that I would call it with Brother Jing Yun.
Wan's eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly, he grabbed Li Baolu's hand slightly, and said excitedly, They agreed!
Wan Shi dragged Baolu out happily, and the two sides greeted each other again.
Qin Xinfang really wanted to call Mrs. Wan Mrs. Sister-in-law, but after glancing at the two little bean dings in the room, he changed his mind and said: Mrs. Li's plan has been told by my wife, and the two children are about the same age, so I have no objection. , Sister She also agreed. It's just that getting married is a big deal. Even if Baolu is a child bride-in-law, my Qin family won't wrong her, so Madam might as well take her back first. It's time to bring her back.
Wan looked at Baolu with pity, shook his head and said, I understand the kindness of Mr., but the time is urgent. Just in case, let's make a decision in the near future. It would be even better if we can set the date tomorrow.
Qin Xinfang was displeased in her heart, but she still smiled and said, Madam, don't worry, even if you take Baolu back, my wife and I will soon set a time to come to the door.
I thought Wan Shi was afraid that they would backtrack.
Wan Shi was a little taken aback, and then came to her senses, she said bitterly: Sir, I misunderstood, it's not that I was in a hurry to push my granddaughter away... She hesitated for a moment, and said: I'm not afraid of my husband's jokes. I'm worried that Baolu will stay at home...
Qin Xinfang frowned, even He Zipei frowned.
There is only one nephew in their family, and it is possible that this generation has only one seedling with the blood of the Qin family, so they dote on him in every possible way.
Originally, it was a bit wronged to let him marry a child bride. If the engagement was made so hastily, I would be too sorry for him.
Wan Shi obviously thought of this too, she wiped her tears, got up and went back to the inner room, holding out a small bundle.
I understand the meaning of Mr. and Madam. I don't want to wrong the two children. I have no objection to the engagement ceremony, but it can't be at Li's house. Wan Shi rubbed the burden in his hand and said: I thought about it before I came. Well, if the husband and wife do not agree to this marriage, that's all, if they agree, then the marriage will be finalized by the way, and I have prepared the dowry for Baolu.
After that, he opened the small bundle, which contained a pair of bracelets, a few ingots of silver and four books.
Qin Xinfang and He Zipei couldn't help but sit up straight when they saw the books underneath, and their faces became serious.
Wan touched the four books sadly and said: This is the medical book written by the ancestors of my Li family. My husband was able to sit in the court at a young age. These four books have made great contributions. Let them be given to the treasure now. Let Lu marry as a dowry.
My wife has a son and grandson, why should I give it to a three-year-old child? She was still a girl who was destined to get married.
Not to mention the arts and crafts of the Li family, even the scholarly family like the Qin family, some books and some things are only for boys to read, and girls are not allowed to touch them.
Because no matter how well a girl studies, she will belong to someone else's family after she gets married.
However, the Wan family chose Li Baolu instead of their children and grandchildren. Qin Xinfang admired her choice, but at the same time she was curious.
Wan Shi didn't have such complicated considerations, she said: Li Hong has no talent for learning medicine, Jun brother was brought by his grandfather to recognize herbs when he was three years old, and he has no talent, and this medical book is left to them. , and may not be able to keep it, it is better to give it to Baolu.
Wan Shi solemnly said to Qin Xinfang: So I have one more request, sir.
Ma'am, but it doesn't matter.
If Baolu grows up in the future and my Li family is still there, then let her copy a set and send it to the Li family. It will be up to them whether to pass it on or sell it off. Wan sighed: The efforts of several generations of ancestors of the Li family cannot only be placed on Li Hong and his descendants.
This set of medical books was brought to Qiongzhou Mansion by her and her husband through untold hardships and hiding all the way. For this reason, almost all the money they brought along the way bribed the government officials.
For the Wan family, it is not important whether the children of the Li family inherit this set of medical books. The important thing is to pass on this set of medical books, no matter who the successor is.
After Li Hong abandoned Baolu, Wan Shi no longer trusted him, so naturally he did not dare to entrust this set of medical books to him.
Qin Xinfang is her husband's old friend, and the two have been in close contact for the past few years. When she brought the medical books with her, she made up her mind to keep the books with her husband, regardless of whether he agreed to the marriage or not.
Qin Xinfang was surprised by Wan's open-mindedness. He immediately understood that Wan's determination to quickly engage the two children was not because she was afraid of their side changing their minds, but because her second son was so unbearable that she couldn't take Baolu back. As for not even dare to leave such a family heirloom to him.
No matter how precious the bracelet is, it is a dead thing, Qin Xinfang and He Zipei don't care, but the book is an endless treasure, especially the family heirloom written by the family itself, which is full of rare medical knowledge in the world, It is the crystallization of wisdom of several generations of the Li family.
Li Baolu's dowry is indeed rich.
Qin Xinfang is not a stubborn person, after realizing the real reason for Wan's anxiety, he agreed to get married tomorrow, and Li Baolu didn't have to go back to Li's house.
This is the advantage of child brides. The etiquette can be the simplest, and the rules can be changed at will.
Although the engagement ceremony was simpler, Qin Xinfang still solemnly took out a piece of paper to write Li Baolu's dowry list, and signed it.
He promised Wan Shi: This list is in triplicate. I will take one, Jing Yun will take one, and Baolu will take one. When she grows up, I will personally hand over this set of books to her.
The Wan family bowed to Mr. Qin respectfully, but Qin Xinfang hurriedly avoided, saying: Since our two families are going to get engaged, then I will be Madam's junior. Wouldn't Madam's salute to me be a disservice to me?
This is what you deserve, sir and madam, Wan said with red eyes, These medical books are the painstaking efforts of my ancestors of the Li family, not to mention just a blessing, even a great gift.
The three adults happily decided on the marriage of the two children, while the two children who were listening were already confused.
Gu Jingyun realized belatedly that he was going to have a wife!
Gu Jingyun turned his head to look at Li Baolu, seeing her dull face, he immediately curled his lips in disgust, but thinking that her parents had both died, and she was not very stupid, he reluctantly agreed.
Li Baolu was staring at the silver ingots in the bag in a daze.
It was the first time she knew that her grandmother had so much money in her possession. Since her grandmother had money, why did she send her out as a child bride?
They can pay their own small tax by themselves, at worst they can live without their second uncle.
Li Baolu's heart became hot.
She was willing to follow her grandmother's wishes to be a child bride, but that was when they had no other choice.
The second uncle couldn't tolerate her because of the little tax. Rather than being sent away by him at random or abandoned by him, it would be better to listen to her grandmother.
But grandma is rich!
They have money and can pay their own taxes, so why should they be child brides?
Don't think that she wants to fool her because she is young. Although she has never seen silver a few times, she still knows the four ingots in the bag, each of which has ten taels!
Forty taels is enough for her to grow up with her grandmother!
Li Baolu looked at her grandmother eagerly, wondering what was going on in her head, that she was sent out as a child bride with so much money, and even gave her all the money as a dowry!
Li Baolu was so sad that she couldn't help herself, so she pursed her lips and didn't speak. In Gu Jingyun's eyes, she felt that she was also shocked that they were going to be a husband and wife. But in the eyes of Qin Xinfang and He Zipei, the child raised his head and stared wide-eyed. Stupid and cute, it seems that they didn't understand what they said.
