Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 781 Universal Grocery Store

  After Jiang Dalang got married, the Jiang family had a big event, and the next one was Jiang Muzheng getting married at the end of October two months later. Marrying a daughter is easier than marrying a woman, and the main task is to prepare the dowry and deliver it. Jiang Muzheng's dowry has already been done under the control of Yazheng and Yan's family. When the wedding is delivered, the family has everything prepared by the big man when he gets married, so there is no need to prepare anything. Therefore, the family Everyone felt that the boulder in their hearts fell to the ground and relaxed.

   Mrs. Jiang handed over the affairs of the mansion to the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest granddaughter-in-law who had just entered the house, and brought the second daughter-in-law, third daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, grandson, and granddaughter to live in Jiangjiazhuang.

   In late August, the weather is cool and it is the best season for autumn. When Jiang was free, he took Xiaoshu and Xiaoyue to catch grasshoppers, rabbits, and watch hedgehogs carry fruit in the fields. When the shop was busy, he went to the city with his three sisters. Take care of the shop.

  Happy days always go by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is October, and Jiang Muzheng is about to get married. When the Jiang family was orderly preparing to marry their daughter, the atmosphere in Kang'an City became tense again. Because the two-month period that Emperor Jing He gave to Suzhou officials was coming soon.

Half a month ago, the imperial envoy Nie Linjiang's memorial was sent back to Beijing. A large amount of investigation evidence and post-mortem results showed that another imperial envoy, Kong Qingfeng, died due to acclimatization and overwork. Although the evidence was complete, it still made everyone feel alive. Suspected, Emperor Jing He also didn't see a smile for many days because of this. Everyone held their breaths and waited for the account book sent to Beijing by the Su Xuan appeasement envoy Fu Kaiwen.

  If the account books were full of loopholes, Emperor Jinghe would be furious and scolded the local officials for not doing well; if the account books were not exposed, Emperor Jinghe would be furious, thinking that local officials at all levels had fooled him. Therefore, no matter what the account book was brought up by Su Xuan Road, the court officials could not escape the queue, and everyone was careful in everything they did, for fear that if they made a mistake, they would become a long live punching bag.

   In this condensed atmosphere, Jiang Muzheng's first batch of dowry was pulled by ox carts and sent to the new house of Liao's family in Lingyun Lane, Chonghua Square.

Most of these dowries were large pieces of furniture, which were custom-made by carpenters after measuring the size. After the new furniture was neatly placed in the empty wedding room, Jiang Liu and Jiang Mujin went in and looked at them, and came back to tell the second sister, "The room is very well-lit. , the furniture is also suitable, how to look and feel comfortable after putting it in."

  Jiang Muzheng was both happy and shy, and whispered, "It's hard work for the two sisters."

   Jiang Muyan is concerned about the specific situation, "How are the two screens placed?"

   Jiang Mujin replied, "Four screens are placed in the main room near the door of the inner room, and a single screen for hanging clothes is placed beside the bed."

   Jiang Muyan asked again, "In what order are the four screens placed?"

  This... Jiang Mujin looked at Sixth Sister. Jiang Liu recalled and said, "From right to left, plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum are in order."

   Jiang Muyan nodded, "This order is correct. When Sister Rong Qing got married, the order of the four screens was wrong. Although no one said anything in front of the Zhang family, there was a long discussion behind them."

   Jiang Mujin smiled and said, "The third sister is careful, the sixth sister and I didn't think of this."

   Jiang Muyan smiled and said, "Actually, there should be no mistake with the mother and the third aunt watching."

The four sisters were talking and laughing when sister-in-law Yue Jinyi came over, "The Sihai grocery store in the West City has another batch of new and ingenious makeup boxes, which of you want to go with me, maybe we can add something to your second sister. What a beautiful dowry."

   Hearing the makeup box, the eyes of the four sisters lit up. Jiang Mujin took the lead and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go!"

   Jiang Liu also said, "I'll go too."

When the second sister is married, it is not advisable to go out. If they all go, the second sister will be left alone at home. Jiang Muyan was about to say to stay, but Jiang Muzheng said, "What kind of makeup box do I want, the third sister is the most It's clear, please follow the troublesome third sister. If you see the right troublesome sister-in-law and sisters to help me bring it back, I will give you money later."

  Yue Jinyi said cheerfully, "It's all from my own family, so if you raise money, you will be divided. Choose the right sister-in-law to send you to make up."

  Since sister-in-law said this, Jiang Muzheng stopped being polite and got up to thank him. Yue Jinyi said to the remaining three sisters, "Today, my sister-in-law is the host, you can choose one of your favorites."

   "Thank you, sister-in-law!" The three sisters of the Jiang family responded in unison.

When Jiang Muyan and her two younger sisters went back to change their clothes, she whispered, "The Yue family has married the eldest sister-in-law two shops and a 100-acre farmland. Although it is enough for her daily expenses, she will not have too much money. But since the eldest sister-in-law spoke up, We can't refute her face. When we go to the grocery store, we will pick out the small items of more than five taels but less than twelve taels, can you write them down?"

   "I wrote it down." Jiang Liu and Jiang Mujin responded in unison.

   After separating from fifth sister and returning to her room, Jiang Muyan instructed her sister again, "We have a lot of dowry and a lot of income every year, don't tell my sister-in-law about it, do you understand?"

   "Understood." Of course, Jiang Liu understands the truth that wealth is not revealed in vain. Those who show off their wealth to others are fools.

   Sister-in-law was wearing pink, Jiang Muyan chose a lilac-colored dress for her sister from the closet and asked her to put it on before taking her to Dicuitang to see her sister-in-law.

  The three sisters and sister-in-law rushed to the Sihai grocery store in the same car, and went directly to the private room on the second floor, and let the young man bring in the new style of makeup box to choose.

   "Cosmetic Box" is a jewelry box for Dazhou women's jewelry, with ingenious workmanship and various styles. After a long while, everyone picked the one they liked the most and gave it to Jiang Muzheng, and then they chose their favorite objects. Yue Jinyi took her three younger sisters out of the private room and walked happily in front of the neatly arranged shelves on the second floor.

The ancient grocery store is different from the modern supermarket. There is a long counter in front of each shelf. The counter is also full of small goods. There are several young guys selling goods behind the counter. The customers are attracted by it. The things on the shelves can be taken down by the little guy and sent to the eyes for a closer look.

   Such an opaque counter is extremely unfriendly to shorties. Jiang Liu, who was as tall as the counter, finally chose a small bottle of flower arrangement, she tiptoed on the counter, pointed to the bottle and said to the guy inside, "Excuse me, I want to see the small celadon vase on the highest shelf. "

Being stared at by Jiang Liuniang's beautiful peach blossom eyes, the young man was both excited and scared. After saying yes, he turned around to get her a vase and handed it to her. He said excitedly, "Liu girl has a good eye, this celadon vase has plum blossoms in winter and summer flowers. Putting lotus flowers in it is wonderful."

   Nanny Zhao took the bottle and handed it to the girl. Jiang Liu looked around, raised his head and asked, "How much is a pair of silver?"

  This... The guy looked left and right, seeing that there were few customers nearby, he was about to report the purchase price according to the shopkeeper's order, but Jiang Liu raised his clear eyes, "As much as you want."

   "Yes!" The young man shuddered, "Twelve taels!"

  Twelve taels are expensive, Jiang Liu frowned, raised his hand and handed the bottle to the nurse, "Put it down."

   "Miss Jiang Liu, can you show me the porcelain bottle?" Before Nanny Zhao handed the bottle to the boy, someone asked.

  This voice... Jiang Liu turned his head and found Liu Xi of Yijiang Houfu standing pretty at the entrance of the stairs, smiling kindly at her.

   Thanks to book friend Da Yuer, for the delicious reward, and the second one today. I bought garlic and pickled Laba garlic today. Last year's pickled Laba garlic didn't work, and I don't know if this year's will turn green. I'm looking forward to it.
