After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 121 Jingui Gets Married

In October, it has gradually become cooler in the mornings and evenings.

The workshop also received its first payment of wages.

Shen Tang sent people to the bank early in the morning to get the silver and money. The carriage was loaded down with several boxes of copper coins.

The people who are most looking forward to it are the workshop workers, whose minds have already flown away.

After all, it’s five hundred coins a month!

Now Shen Tang no longer interferes in these simple matters and just watches from the side.

"I've asked the butcher to leave me a piece of prime pork belly today. I'll take it when I get paid!"

"I'm going to the market in a few days to buy some cloth to make a new dress for my daughter! I haven't made new clothes for her in the past few years."

"I can't bear to spend it. This is my first salary. I have to save it!"

"Ever since I started working in the workshop, my mother-in-law's attitude towards me has really changed every day. Now, I don't even have to cook when I get home."

......

Most of the workers are women. They stand together and chat casually, which sounds very noisy.

But there was an lingering smile on everyone's face.

When they saw Shen Tang and the people around Shen Tang, they all called them "Boss" and "Miss" affectionately and respectfully.

After the establishment of the workshop, the production of soap can not only supply various shops, but they have even begun to stockpile.

Today, soap is still popular in the Jiangnan region, or the Jiangnan Road.

Although people in other regions had heard of soap, most of the purchasing channels were still peddlers.

Not only will the quantity be small, but the price will also double.

Shen Tang had the idea of ​​recruiting investors again.

What makes the people of Shenjia Village happiest is that the late rice they planted has now started to grow. Although it is already autumn, the rice fields in Shenjia Village are indeed green.

County Magistrate Lin also came several times and even sent a minor official in charge of agricultural affairs in the county government to study and record the growth of late rice.

At the end of October, there was a happy event in Shenjia Village.

Shen Jingui was engaged to the son of a carpenter from the next village, and the wedding gifts would begin at the end of the month.

The children in the village were the happiest because every time there was a happy event in someone's family, they would always get some candy.

The other families were also happy and gave gifts of varying degrees.

The valuables included cloth, grain, and salt, while the less valuables included eggs and the like.

It was not for anything else, but just to let the girls from Shenjia Village go to other villages so that they would not be looked down upon.

When Shen Tang knew about this, he specially gave Shen Jingui a vacation.

I am also thinking about what kind of rewards to give to my capable employees.

Shen Jingui is the most independent-minded among the girls around her.

She was even worried about whether she could work in the factory after getting married.

It can be seen that she is a woman with her own ideas and is unwilling to be bound by her family. Shen Tang admires women with such thoughts in this era.

The red envelope must be given to the older one. As for the others, that was Shen Tang's selfish desire to give blessings to this young girl.

The ninth day of November is a good day.

It was also the day when Shen Jingui got married.

Shen Jingui is dressed in red and covered with a red veil.

"Tsk tsk, this red dress is so beautiful!"

"That's right. When I got married, I was just covered with a piece of red cloth."

"I heard that the betrothal gift to Jingui was quite a bit."

"Why don't you say that Jingui's dowry is also generous! Now that Jingui is the manager of the workshop, the man's family has found a treasure."

"I heard that the boss's carriage is taking Jingui to get married!"

"That's great! When my daughter gets married, I'll ask the boss to let her ride in a carriage too."

In the past, people usually used ox carts to get married.

The cow hung a red flower on its body and came to pick up the bride. After Shen Tang knew about it, he specially borrowed a carriage to go out.

The carpenter is from Wangjia Village, which is only a few kilometers away from Shenjia Village.

Shen Tang is now the most prestigious family in the area, so naturally he was invited.

Shen Tang arrived late, but the guests had already arrived early, with the relatives of the bride and groom sitting on either side.

Shen Tang had met Carpenter Wang several times. He was a craftsman with quite good skills and looked very honest.

Many things in the workshop are made by Carpenter Wang.

The sound of firecrackers, crackling.

The children outside the house shouted:

"Here comes the bride, here comes the bride."

Farmers don’t have so many requirements. They just start the feast after worshipping heaven and earth.

Shen Tang had a high status and was arranged to sit at the main table.

Many people wanted to toast Shen Tang, but they didn't dare to come forward.

After all, Shen Tang is different from them now.

Not long after, the groom arrived and inherited Carpenter Wang's craft. The villagers affectionately called Wang Cheng "Little Carpenter Wang".

Wang Cheng came to Shen Tang with a glass of wine.

"Boss, although I'm not working in the workshop, but Jingui calls you that, can I call you that in the future too?"

Shen Tang raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Cheng.

"Jin Gui is the most courageous girl around me, and I really can't bear to see her get married.

You must treat her well from now on. If you treat her badly, Shenjiacun and I will not allow it."

Wang Cheng smiled innocently and responded quickly.

Carpenter Wang saw that Shen Tang was happily chatting with his son, and a smile appeared on his face.

Everyone laughed at their family for marrying a girl who was more powerful than their son.

Although Carpenter Wang and his wife are honest, they are not stupid.

They are jealous.

I heard that the matchmakers had even flattened the thresholds of the homes of the girls around Shen Tang.

It must be that the couple had good eyesight and picked such a capable girl.

If my son works hard in the future, he may have a bright future.

Thinking of this, the smiles on Carpenter Wang and his wife's faces became even wider and more enthusiastic.

That night, red candles were brightly lit in Carpenter Wang's house.

Shen Jingui sat on the bed and opened the gift from Shen Tang.

Shen Tang actually wanted to send it to Jingui's house earlier, but when she thought of Jingui's brothers at home, she suppressed her desire.

The box was very thin, and there were only a few pieces of paper inside when it was opened. But when Shen Jingui saw it, her eyes instantly turned red.

The boss actually gave her a deed to six acres of land!

There is also a silver note worth fifty taels!

God knows, Carpenter Wang’s family only has eight acres of land, not to mention that Wang Cheng has an older brother!

The key point is that the deed to this six-acre land is still in her name, Shen Jingui!

The dowry her parents gave her was just five taels of silver and a few quilts, and the rest was the money she had saved.

By this calculation, Shen Jingui's dowry is as much as the property of Carpenter Wang's family.

Within a few days, the news that Shen Tang gave Shen Jingui six acres of land spread throughout the area.

For a while, the girls around Shen Tang became even more popular, and even many matchmakers came to visit other girls in Shenjia Village.

That evening, the door of Shen Tang's house was knocked loudly.

When Luzhu opened the door, she saw Shen Zhaodi's face covered with tears.

"Boss, please save me!"
