After Li Qingzhi and the others left, Zhu Qian asked the maid to take Fang Jinniang back to her room.
After talking with Jin Xiaoshu today, Fang Jinniang felt completely relieved and was in a very good mood.
She felt that the world before her eyes became clearer.
When she first took Jin Xiaoshu to see her mother, she didn't know who Jin Xiaoshu was. She was a little nervous, afraid that she had entrusted her trust to the wrong person.
But now she is not afraid anymore.
Shopkeeper Jin is a very good person, and Jin Xiaoshu is also a very good person. She will definitely be fine in the future.
When Fang Jinniang returned to her residence, she opened the purse that Jin Xiaoshu had given her.
This was the betrothal gift from Jin Xiaoshu. She refused, but Jin Xiaoshu said that other people already had it, so he gave it to her.
Ten taels of silver was considered a small amount as a betrothal gift in the county town, but she knew it was not a small amount in the countryside, not to mention that Jin Xiaoshu was planning to buy her a dowry.
Fang Jinniang looked carefully at the things in the purse and was shocked.
There were several silver ingots in the purse, just as Jin Xiaoshu said, a total of ten taels.
In addition, there is a gold ring inside!
The style of this ring is ordinary, but it is very bright in gold, and its quality must be very good... This ring is probably worth more than ten taels of silver!
Fang Jinniang held the ring in her hand and tears suddenly fell.
Not because of sadness, but because of happiness.
On the other side, Li Qingzhi left the county government office and found Jin Xiaoshu at a nearby riverside pier.
He originally wanted to take Jin Xiaoshu to the county government office, but Jin Xiaoshu didn't dare to go and insisted on waiting here.
"Brother-in-law, what are we going to do next?" Jin Xiaoshu asked.
"Aren't you going to buy a dowry for Miss Fang? Go ahead." Li Qingzhi said.
When Jin Xiaoshu heard the word "dowry", he became excited and immediately took Li Qingzhi to a place in Chongcheng County that specialized in selling dowries.
He had rowed a boat in the county town for several months and was familiar with the situation there.
What is sold here are things for ordinary people, and the prices are very cheap, but they are already good things for the people in Miaoqian Village.
In Miaoqian Village, many girls get married with just a few sets of clothes. Firstly, their parents don’t want to divide the family property, and secondly... everyone is poor.
Not many families in the village have toilets.
Jin Xiaoshu bought a lot of things in one go. These things were not easy to take home, so they went to Zhu's house again and asked Zhu's servants to move them to Fang Jinniang's house.
While passing by the dock, Li Qingzhi saw some large ships parked next to the dock. People on the large ships lowered baskets tied with ropes from the boats and bought food from the people around them who were rowing small boats to sell things.
The fleet was quite large. Li Qingzhi was slightly stunned before he remembered that today was the day Wu Baichuan was going north with the fleet to do business.
This should be the fleet that Wu Baichuan will join.
In the following days, the Jin family began to prepare for Jin Xiaoshu's wedding.
Jin Xiaoshu's wedding day
It was scheduled for twelve days later, and Jin Xiaoshu has been busy these days.
He asked the villagers for help and built two separate houses next to the Jin family's house.
Grandma Jin was very dissatisfied with this and felt that it would be enough for him to build one house next to the Jin family's original house and there was no need to build two.
