Chapter 250 Family Tree

The Zhou family, Dong and Chang Lian have returned to their parents' home. Zhulan took Li and Zhao to sort out the wedding gifts. They really didn't have time yesterday.

Unlike modern times, people rarely gave money as gifts in ancient times; they only gave gifts.

At a wedding banquet, the gift boxes received by the Zhou family filled up half of the room. Zhulan had never seen them before. After checking, she found that most of the gifts were for daily use, such as decorations, fabrics, spices and other things.

Zhulan picked out quite a few for the newlyweds, mostly red and festive gifts for weddings.

Zhulan doesn't like spices because the smell is too strong and she can't stand it. She put them away and didn't plan to share them with her family.

Most of the fabrics are bright and festive in color, suitable for newlyweds, and Zhulan has also picked them out.

Everything was sorted out, and Zhulan felt very poor. She paid for the bride's wedding and the wedding banquet, but all the gifts were for the newlyweds. There was only a small amount of food for the whole family, and some fabrics for making clothes for the children. In the future, the return gifts would also be paid by her and Zhou Shuren. Who made the family not split up?

Zhulan distributed the fabric that could be used to make clothes for the children to Li and Zhao.

The rest were packed into boxes and carried to Chang Lian's yard by Boss Zhou. They were all useful to the young couple.

Li was jealous. When she married the head of the family, she had no relatives in the Zhou family, nor were they close to the clan members. There were very few people who came to attend the wedding, and she received even fewer gifts. In addition, the dynasty had only been established for a few years at that time, and weddings were not as grand as they are now. The gifts given were usually for the newlyweds. It was good enough for her to be able to bring gifts to the door, and they were all food. She only kept a few pieces of cloth for herself.

Zhulan, "Don't look at it, it's useless, it's only for newlyweds."

Li pursed her lips unwillingly. So many things were useless, so it was better to ignore them. "Mom, the gifts have been packed, let's go back to the main courtyard!"

Otherwise, it would be depressing just looking at it, and I wouldn't be able to enjoy my lunch. Oh, oh, I just can't accept this. I can't help thinking, if my third brother's wedding is like this, the scene must be even bigger when my youngest brother gets married. It hurts so much that I hold my heart with my hands.

Zhulan didn't bother to pay attention to Li. She spent money and effort, and she had to repay the favor in the future without any hesitation!

In the afternoon, Chang Lian and Dong came back. Looking at Dong's smiling face with the corners of her mouth raised high, he knew that she was not insulted when she came back to her parents' home today.

Zhulan said, "Go back and have a rest. By the way, I have sent all the gifts from the wedding banquet to your yard. You can go back and arrange them yourself!"

Chang Lian drank a lot of wine and felt a little uncomfortable. He said, "Mom, let's go back to the yard first."

"Go back."

At dinner time, Li was happy again. Zhulan raised her eyebrows, and Mingteng whispered in grandma's ear: "Third aunt gave mother a lot of fabrics and a pair of bottles to display, and mother was happy."

Ming Teng didn't muffle his voice; everyone at Zhulan's table could hear it.

Li, "........"

Specially designed to tear down the parents' platform!

Mrs. Dong smiled and said, "Mother, the guests all came for my parents, and we received the lion's share of the gifts. Chang Lian and I felt embarrassed, so we kept the ones we needed, and gave the ones I didn't need for the dowry to my two sisters-in-law. On the day of the wedding banquet, my two sisters-in-law worked hard and this is what they deserve."

As for why she didn't give it to her mother-in-law, she had given it to them. Wouldn't it be a slap in her face? It was as if the family was short of her things. Giving it to her two sisters-in-law was a sign of harmonious relations between the daughters-in-law, and it was also what her mother was happy to see.

Zhulan sighed in her heart, different status means different education, Dong handles things in a comprehensive way, "You are thoughtful."

Dong smiled and said, "I should do it."

Chang Lian felt very proud. His wife was just so generous. He saw that what his wife exchanged were the best things in the dowry. She didn't use any choosy tricks to fool her sisters-in-law. His wife saved face, so he sat up straight.

Boss Zhou listened to his third brother's wife and then looked at his wife. He still thought that his wife was good. Although his wife made stupid mistakes from time to time, their life was lively. He liked his wife like this and life was not tiring.

Zhou Laoer felt that his third brother's wife was very sensible and would not bully his wife in the future, leaving his wife alone and helpless.

Xue Han felt that her third sister-in-law had personally taught her how to be a daughter-in-law, and she learned a lot from her.

The next day, Li's father came with his three brothers. Zhulan's family had a lot of land, and Li's three uncles' families had a lot of boys. It was easy for each family to help Zhulan's family cultivate ten acres of land. When Li's father heard Zhou Lao Da talk about Dong's land, he brought his younger brothers to come this year.

Of the fifty acres of land, each of Li's three uncles was given ten acres to cultivate, leaving twenty acres. This favor was given to Li Zheng's family to arrange the land. With Li Zheng around and the land being the daughter of the county lord, no one dared to cheat.

Li Xu came along, and Zhulan invited Li Xu to come over for dinner tomorrow to be a witness.

In the afternoon, Zhulan asked Zhou Laoer to go back to Zhoujia Village and tell the clan leader that the time was set for tomorrow. Zhou Laoda went to Yang's house, and everyone in Yang's family would come tomorrow.

Li took Dong to prepare dishes for tomorrow. Zhulan's family still had some mutton and a lot of pork left, enough for several tables of meals.

Because dozens of villages within a dozen were damaged by wolves and more were consumed during the New Year, there are not many poultry left in the nearby villages. The chickens used tomorrow are all pheasants, all bought from hunters. It is quite difficult to prepare pheasants, so Li and Dong must hurry to get them out.

When Chang Lian got married, Zhulan's family used up a lot of dried vegetables, and the remaining dried vegetables were only enough for tomorrow. Fortunately, spring was approaching and the wild vegetables were about to sprout.

In the afternoon, not only did Zhou Laoer come back alone, but Xuemei's family also came with him.

Zhulan is holding Jiang Miao. This girl looks like Xuemei, except that her eyebrows and eyes are like Jiang Sheng. The girl's hair grows fast and she has big eyes. She is getting cuter and cuter. She is the second prettiest girl in the family, and Yu Lu from the eldest family is ranked last.

Speaking of Yu Lu, this girl's personality is not like Li's. The little girl is introverted and not very willing to speak. She has the personality of the eldest. Well, she likes to stay with Zhu Lan the most. Although she is small, she can sit still. But she has a problem. It is estimated that because she sees Li doing it a lot, the little girl learns from her. The little girl likes to hide things, such as food and toys given to her. Sometimes she forgets and keeps spinning in circles in a hurry, which makes Zhu Lan and Zhou Shuren laugh so hard. The personalities of the little girls are completely different, but they are all sensible children.

Xuemei sent her daughter and brother out to play, and took out a cloth bag from her arms, "Mother, this is what I'm going to give to my second sister-in-law tomorrow."

Zhulan took a quick look and saw a pair of silver earrings. "You are thoughtful."

Xuemei smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law has helped me a lot, this is what I should do."

The next morning, the Yang family was the first to arrive, followed by Li's parents, and finally the patriarch Zhou and his wife, who also brought a family tree.

Zhulan found out when Mingrui was listed in the family tree when he was one year old that the Zhao family had no marriage certificate and no matchmaker. The Zhao family was not listed in the family tree at first. There was no Zhao family in the family tree, so she wrote the marriage certificate and matched the horoscopes not only to clear her name, but also to be included in the family tree.

Zhao had been at a loss and excited since waking up in the morning.

Zhou Wangshi didn't like Zhao. Even though Zhao didn't cry often later on, she still didn't like her. She got angry when she kept looking at her with her head down. Zhou Wangshi was not surprised that Yang cleared Zhao's name. After more than a year of contact with her, she found that Yang was indeed a rare good mother-in-law and a kind-hearted person.

As for why they didn't give it to her before, Zhou Wang took the initiative to think about it, and Yang also wanted to train Zhao. Look, now Zhao doesn't cry anymore.

My horoscope was calculated by Zhulan Huayinqian, who consulted a famous fortune teller. It is a happy marriage, a good marriage.

The marriage certificate was written by Zhou Shuren and signed by the chief of the Zhou clan. After the marriage certificate was written, the chief of the Zhou clan took out a thick family tree and filled in the surname Zhao. From now on, no one would question the Zhao family's legitimacy.

Zhao tried hard to hold back her tears. She couldn't cry. Today was a happy occasion and she couldn't cry.

Zhou Laoer found something to thank the elders. Zhou Wang patted Zhao's hand and said, "You have a good mother-in-law. Live a good life in the future and respect your parents-in-law."

Sun didn't say anything, but just patted Zhao on the shoulder to comfort her silently.

Zhulan asked Zhao and Zhou Laoer to go out, and the younger generation of Li also went out. Zhulan was actually very curious about what Li gave Zhao, but unfortunately she had to wait until tomorrow to find out.

After dinner in the afternoon, the guests left and Xuemei also went back home in the clan leader's ox cart.

After dinner, Zhulan took out a cloth bag and handed it to Zhao, "Take this back and look at it when you get home. This is the last gift from your mother to you."
