Song Yuyan went back to the clan to see the progress of papermaking, and told the clan leader about her plan to propose marriage. Although she didn't intend to let the clan handle it, she still felt that she should inform the elders.

21 Uncle and Aunt Lie already knew about her plan, they had a look of "I'll call you a scum if you don't mention kissing again", and Aunt Lie even said, "I'll find a matchmaker for you, I'm sure I'll find you a good talker." Matchmaker, talk about this marriage as soon as possible."

Uncle 21 said: "The Tang family will probably agree to this marriage, but where do you plan to get married? How much dowry do you have prepared?"

Song Yuyan said: "Naturally, we will go back to Jinchuan Township to get married, so that parents can know that their children have grown up and have someone who will accompany them for a lifetime. I hope they will be a witness in heaven. As for the dowry, my nephew really doesn't care about it." experience, so I still need to consult Uncle 21 and Aunt Lie."

Uncle 21 nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It's enough for ordinary people to pay ten guan. If you want to make both parties face, then you have to ask for twenty or thirty guan. Are you enough? If not, I can borrow it here." Here you are some."

Song Yuyan distributed more than 20 guan from Wayuan. Later, when someone asked her to buy candle wicks, she would often receive a usage fee, so it was no problem to take out 25 guan.It's just that she felt that it was still a little less, so she planned to earn some extra money.

She has done a lot less work of straw weaving and bamboo weaving. Firstly, she has other sources of income. Second, the work of bamboo and straw weaving is too painful. Before, she endured it for the sake of making a living, but now she can still do it. Tolerance, but since there are other choices, there is no need to continue just to show that you can endure hardship.

After she came back from Jinchuan Township, Lou Gao brought a merchant from Korea to the door.The goal of the Korean businessman was naturally her green bamboo carvings, and he happened to be the Korean businessman who spent five thousand yuan to find Zhao Pei to buy armrests.

As for why he and Lou Gao appeared here, it has to be said that he spent [-] yuan at Zhao's house before and couldn't buy Zhao Yu's armrest. After all, he can't grasp whether he can sell it at a higher price after buying it back.

However, after he proposed [-] yuan at the beginning and was rejected by Zhao Yu, he unbelievingly proposed [-] yuan, but was still rejected by Zhao Yu.At this moment, he can also see that this is probably a work of great appreciation value, otherwise it would not have appeared in the wealthy Zhao family.

So he gritted his teeth and proposed five thousand dollars, thinking he could win it, but Zhao Yu said: "Although the five thousand dollars is far more than the value of this set of arms, I will not give it up. The so-called gentleman does not take what others like, I hope You can understand."

If he couldn't buy this set of armrests, he gave up buying again.However, when he went to collect other goods, he saw some bamboo carvings being sold. He went over and looked for a few times, but he couldn't find the engraving of the set of armrests he saw at Zhao's house.Although these bamboo carvings are well carved, they are not poetic and picturesque, and the nobles of Goryeo must not like them very much.

He curiously inquired about the bamboo carvings of the same style as Zhao Zi, and the bamboo carving seller knew immediately: "You are talking about Lufang's Liuqing bamboo carvings, right? There are no bamboo carvings of his for sale here!"

He became even more curious. According to Zhao Yu's treasured arm rest, it must be the work of a famous artist. There should be many of them on the market. Why are there so few?

The bamboo carving seller didn't want to tell him, but the peddler next to him said with a smile, "He's jealous of Lufang, why would he tell you so much?"

The Korean businessman gave the peddler some sweets, and the peddler told him the "legendary story" of Lufang, and pointed to Lu County School and Lou's family, "Song Lufang will not sell bamboo carvings at will. No matter how many people ask for it, those bamboo carvings Most of them are in the hands of scholars, if you really want to accept them, then go to them!"

The merchant from Korea thought that he still had some business to discuss with the Lou family, so he went to see Lou Gao at the Lou family. How to do this business so that it will not lose money.

"So, you want to order a batch of green bamboo carvings from me to be shipped back to Korea for sale?" Song Yuyan did not immediately refuse after hearing the intentions of the merchants from Korea.

If it was before, she naturally didn't have such leisure time. Recently, she wanted to earn some extra money, so she became a little moved.But she didn't agree immediately, the Korean businessman thought she didn't want to do this business - he had heard many people mention this capable man, he acted quite freely, and was willing to help carve some green bamboo carvings when he was in a good mood, whoever asked if he was in a bad mood She is useless, and she is indifferent to money.

So he hurriedly signaled Lou Gao to help intercede.Lou Gao didn't know why Song Yuyan was hesitating, so he proposed a price first, the green bamboo carvings like pen holders cost [-] yuan each, and the set of arm rests also cost [-] yuan...

When the Korean businessman heard that the price was about the same as his expectation, and that he could double the price and make a fortune when he went back to Korea, he immediately nodded.

Song Yuyan was a little surprised, because she didn't think her stay was worth so much money, but her stay was fired to a high price long ago, which may be considered cheap for Korean merchants!

After thinking about it, she accepted the order.

In view of her reputation, the Korean businessman first gave half of the money as a deposit, so that Song Yuyan finally got the dowry money together.

At the beginning of October, the matchmaker that Aunt Lie helped Song Yuyan find came to Tang's house with a "grass post". Tang Haogen had heard Song Yuyan mention it beforehand, so he specially took a day off to stay at home.The eldest brother is like a father, so Tang Zhi's marriage will naturally be discussed by him.

Song Yuyan was a little nervous when she was talking about marriage for the first time. She knew that the Tang family probably would not object, but she still ran to the door of the Tang family and lingered.

Seeing her head dangling outside the fence, Tang Zhi couldn't help but secretly pursed his lips and smiled for a while.

Suddenly, she found that Song Yuyan had actually climbed onto the wall of her house, and then lay down on it.The man obviously didn't expect her to be watching her in the yard, so he almost fell back in fright.

"Cough, Miss Tang." Song Yuyan was doing this kind of thing for the first time, and was caught by the client, with a very embarrassing face, "Did you see the matchmaker?"

Tang Zhi walked over and talked to her with his head up: "She's in the house!"

Both of them listened intently for a while, and what the matchmaker said clearly reached their ears. Her clever mouth praised Song Yuyan to the sky, not to mention those who didn't know Song Yuyan were praised by her. Maybe she agreed immediately, and even Tang Haogen, who knew Song Yuyan's situation, almost thought that the Song Yuyan she was talking about was the real Song Yuyan.

Seeing Tang Zhi's intriguing eyes, Song Yuyan immediately explained: "I didn't ask her to say that."

Tang Zhi snorted, "If you can teach the matchmaker to speak, then you can be a matchmaker."

Song Yuyan said quietly: "If I were a matchmaker, I would only say a couple."

Tang Zhi looked at her curiously: "Which one is right?"

"you and me."

Chen Caiqi came out and saw the young couple, one lying on top of the wall and the other standing at the corner, muttering secretly for some reason.Song Yuyan stared at Tang Zhi with a smile on her face and eyes; Tang Zhi curled her lips occasionally, but she didn't show arrogance, but instead showed her authenticity and unpretentiousness in front of Song Yuyan.

Chen Caiqi, who was newly married in Yaner, found that she had a row of teeth broken by them. She shook her head and slipped back into the house.

Tang Haogen had already acquiesced in his sister's marriage to Song Yuyan, so the matchmaker just went back after a formality.

At night, Tang Haogen hugged his lovely wife and talked about life. After talking about life, he mentioned Tang Zhi's dowry.

Tang Zhi is still managing the accounts of the Tang family, and she is slowly telling her sister-in-law about the income and expenditure of the Tang family, so that her sister-in-law can slowly take over the finances of the Tang family.

It's just that Chen Caiqi didn't want to take care of the account books as soon as she married into the Tang family. This would make it appear that she was eager to take over everything in the Tang family. It is to help with some housework at home, or to deal with neighbors.

In this case, she didn't know anything about Tang Zhi's dowry, and Tang Haogen thought it was necessary for him to talk to his wife for the sake of a more harmonious relationship between husband and wife.

Chen Caiqi said: "I heard that the Song family paid twenty or thirty dowries, so Ah Zhi's dowry should not be too small. I will ask her tomorrow. If there is less, I will post some for her first."

Tang Haogen was very moved. The dowry brought by Chen Caiqi was her private property. Even if he wanted to use it, he had to get his wife's consent, so even if she didn't take out her own dowry, no one could blame her.But she actually offered to take part of her dowry to subsidize Tang Zhi, which shows that she has a broad mind.

"I know that the lady is the most considerate, but no need, Ah Zhi said that she has been saving a dowry. Besides, Song Dalang said that even if Ah Zhi has no dowry, he will still marry Ah Zhi."

Chen Caiqi has been married to the Tang family for a month, but she is still not very familiar with Song Yuyan, she only knows that Song Yuyan has a good reputation.From the way she saw the two young men whispering during the day, she knew that Song Yuyan was really not the kind of person who would mind Tang Zhi not having a dowry.

But it is said that "a person should not be judged by his appearance", Chen Caiqi said: "People have prepared twenty or thirty dowry gifts, even if Azhi really has no dowry, he will marry Azhi, but we, as brothers and sisters-in-law, cannot let Azhi be People gossip. Let’s just say it like this, I’ll go and find out about Ah Zhi tomorrow, and then I’ll post more about her.”

Tang Haogen laughed happily and said that he married a good wife, and the more he looked at his wife, the more he felt that she was soft and sweet, so he simply talked about life with her again.

The next day, Chen Caiqi told Tang Zhi about this, and Tang Zhi didn't want to use his sister-in-law's dowry, so he said: "I have saved some money over the years, and I also saved the money I earned from working as a 'trainer' in Wax Garden. That's enough money."

When Chen Caiqi saw her take out her account book, she couldn't laugh or cry. She dared to underestimate this sister-in-law. Don't look at her sister-in-law who was only twelve or thirteen years old when she took charge of the vegetable garden. Learned to count and count.In addition, the vegetable garden is bigger than before, and the income has increased, so she has saved a dowry of ten pennies.

Chen Caiqi said: "Suddenly I am reluctant to let you marry off."

If Tang Zhi gets married, where can she find such a smart and capable sister-in-law who can take care of the vegetable garden to help her continue to take care of the vegetable garden?

Chen Caiqi: "Why don't you get married and let Song Dalang wait a few more years."

Tang Zhi: "???"
