The Zhou family was a farmer before, but later a certain ancestor was cruel and frugal, giving up a scholar who was frugal. However, his talent was not very good, and he stopped at the scholar. The second generation of the latter made a living by teaching, and his family was not wealthy. After buying some industries, he could only make a well-off life. It was not until Master Zhou passed the imperial examination that he got a small official, and half of these land and house deeds were bought by Master Zhou after he became an official.

What I brought today, plus the previous ones, was calculated as 10,000 taels, but it was barely enough to be worth the bride price of the daughter of a senior official above the first rank. Moreover, the gift list did contain 10,000 taels. In order not to let Zhao Yinghong suffer grievance, the Zhou family was really not easy.

Looking at the additional bride price, the General's Mansion of Zhenguo was really amused and crying: "The silver and jewelry were accepted, but the land deeds and house deeds were taken back by Lord Zhou."

"No, no!" Lord Zhou waved his hand quickly: "These officials are not available."

General Zhao was also kind-hearted: "Why can't you use it? Zhou's family will take office at that time. Whether it is renting or buying a house, it will cost money. You can choose one and buy one locally."

"The official can live with Zhuo Jing in the backyard of the yamen." Lord Zhou smiled all over his face, not feeling embarrassed at all. The eldest son could marry the lady from the General's Mansion and let him live in the stables and woodshed. Even if others live, they would not be able to live in such a good marriage!

General Zhao reminded: "You have another son."

When a eldest son gets married, he spends all the money in the family. What should he do if his youngest son gets married in the future? He must take a bowl of water to calm down, otherwise the youngest son will complain about being partial in the future.

Lord Zhou was very confident: "Erlang is still young and doesn't like to study. He said that he would learn martial arts from the third prince first, and then follow the third prince to be a errand-sending letter. If he gets military merit in the army, would he be afraid that he won't be able to marry a wife?"

General Zhao... In fact, there are a lot of people in the army who have not married their wives. Otherwise, they would have thought that their daughter had a bad reputation and no one wanted it, so they went to the army to find someone they liked.

Thinking about my daughter marrying a pretty good son of a small official, she is not only knowledgeable but also beautiful, not worse than her own son. This is always better than marrying a big boss in the army, General Zhao was in a much better mood.

However, the second son of the Zhou family is still young, and Lord Zhou is currently in the seventh rank, and his salary is much higher. Zhou Erlang really serves in the army and will also have military pay. If everyone saves money, it will be enough to get married in five years.

Lord Zhou looked at General Zhao's face carefully, as if his expression had become much softer, and pretended to be brave and said, "Why don't you go and think of a solution..."

General Zhao was curious: "What else do you have?" Could it be that he had to sell his ancestral home?

Lord Zhou was determined: "Go and borrow it!" A legitimate daughter from the General's Mansion said she wanted to marry his son, and said she could not let Miss Zhao down.

"Okay, okay, it's not that I won't repay it." General Zhao was almost moved. He was extremely sincere and wanted to emptie his family's wealth by marrying a wife.

Lord Zhou thought General Zhao was worried that they would take money from Miss Zhao’s dowry in the future and pay off their debts. The Bian Dynasty would have a generous dowry unless it was a greedy family. Generally, the dowry was higher than the dowry. Some brides with rich wealth had a dowry even twice as much as the dowry, several times.

Someone once borrowed Gaoli as a dowry. After the church, he took the bride's dowry to pay off the debt the next day, but in the end he paid off the debt only half of the dowry.

Lord Zhou immediately waved his hand: "The official is back. Although our Zhou family is small, he will never do anything to use the woman's dowry!"

If the dowry belongs to the bride, if you divorce or leave in the future, the dowry will be moved back to your parents' home according to the number on the gift list. Unless in an emergency, the use of your wife's dowry will be despised.

General Zhao really smiled. Fortunately, he needed to be calm on the battlefield and in the court, and he was not as happy as he was, otherwise he would really have to grin.

Regardless of whether the Zhou family is for the sake of profit or future, it is not easy to have such a heart. It can be said that General Zhao has never seen such a sincere marriage in his life.

On the one hand, it is to sell the bad guys, and on the other hand, it is to destroy the reputation. Without comparison, there will be no harm. It is obvious that it seems that it is right at the moment!

General Zhao turned his head and said, "Please come, my wife."

There are some words that he said were inevitably petty, and it would be better for his own mother to say.

It was already agreed that Mrs. Zhao asked the servant who came to invite him again, what happened in the hall, General Zhao's attitude was even more at ease.

After the past, he made a request: Zhao Yinghong was young and had not yet finished her birthday. She was in September and planned to get married in October, but she would not have children for the time being and would have a child after two or three years.

Lord Zhou nodded immediately: "The son of the dog wants to be a student next year. If his wife is happy, it will definitely affect his studies. If he is on the imperial list, taking office requires energy. He cannot take good care of his wife and children. It is no problem to be a few years later. After all, they are still young. They will set off soon and come back until October to get married."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao had to show some attitude, of course: "You might as well, let the young master rest assured, we will take care of it."

"Then it's time for Mrs. Zhao and General Zhao!" Lord Zhou bowed. In the future, General Zhenguo's mansion took care of Zhou Zexian, and naturally he would take care of his son-in-law, after all, he was a prospective son-in-law. In his spare time, he could make friends with the powerful and nobles in the capital, which was a good thing for Zhou Zexian.

Mrs. Zhao continued to propose: "There is also that Lihua is weak in her body and needs to take ginseng and bird's nest every day. We cannot say that she is not frugal and only cares about herself."

How many daughters-in-law in the mansion, let alone ginseng bird's nest, even if their parents send a fat hen, they will be sore by their mother-in-law and sister-in-law, saying that they only know themselves and do not know filial piety.

Lord Zhou nodded: "That's natural, so the dog should work harder to study and improve. When he gets a good exam and gets a salary, he will buy ginseng bird's nest for his wife. As for the lower-ranking officials, he must go to the county government with the lower-ranking officials to take up his post. My eldest daughter is already married and is not in the capital. We cannot take care of her normally, so we can only trouble the general's wife. As for family affairs, we will also leave all to Miss Zhao, and we can only ask the general's wife to teach her more."

It seems like it’s a hand-shaking thing, but in fact it’s something that many women will laugh in their dreams. Once they were in the past, they became the mistress, and everything was in their hands. The house was clean and there was no need to look at the face of the mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Although he married a wealthy family and became a wife directly. When he married a scholar without an official position, he could still be called a wife no matter how rich he was in the family, but he could not stand his daughter's marriage and could still take care of him without having to look at others' faces.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't hide the satisfaction on her face: "My daughters are all her family members, so they are not troubles."

My eyes just swept to the three sets of heads placed in the tray. Although the heads and faces of that style are decorated with red gold and jewelry, they look like they are wearing them by a middle-aged woman.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "When Mr. Zhou is about to take up his post, I happen to have a set of pearl-haired faces that were rewarded by the palace. Please hand it over to Mrs. Zhou as a congratulations."
