"Lord
At this remark, everyone present except for
What family's daughter would personally step forward to make requests about her own wedding?
Very quickly,
Heaven knows it took
She stubbornly lifted her chin and said, "Mother,
She truly enjoyed medicine and herbology, especially watching the medicinal plants she sowed with her own hands grow a little more day after day. That gave her a sense of satisfaction she had never felt since she was little.
Although she was also fond of
Because
Among the nine sister-in-laws in her family, apart from
That wasn't the life she wanted. She wanted to be like
At first,
He was so frightened his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
He didn't expect that the young girl's request would be this small.
He instantly felt relieved. Seeing that the future mother-in-law was about to scold her, he quickly stepped forward.
"That's no problem. I was planning to get a residence anyway. If Miss Mo feels that West Ridge Village is suitable, I don't mind building a courtyard here just like the new Mo manor."
This was also one of
Today when he went to the foot of the mountain, he saw the new Mo manor. Its structure was very different from the norm, and it made people feel very comfortable after seeing it.
Moreover, he had no family or friends in Yuncheng, so he might as well satisfy his delicate wife.
If he happened to be very busy with work,
In fact,
If he had, he certainly wouldn't have tried to find so many reasons to build a house here. Just the word "comfortable" alone would have made him choose to do so without hesitation.
Speaking of building the same courtyard, everyone in the Mo family knew that the beautifully unique new manor was all
Therefore, everyone's gazes landed on
"Since Brother Meng has this intention, why don't we Mo family build it? We'll consider it one of Hanyue's dowries."
Over the past few days she had been thinking about what would be an appropriate dowry for
She had just seen the betrothal gifts
Since this was the case, the Mo family couldn't lose etiquette either.
She had also asked the villagers about it. When the big families in Yuncheng married off their daughters, they would often send gifts like shops, houses, or manors as part of the dowry.
Since
Then later, preparing some jewelry and other items would complete
Although she had plenty of these kinds of things in her space, after all they were still 'dirty items'. If they accidentally caused unnecessary trouble it wouldn't be worth it, so
Anyway, there was still around two months until their wedding date, plenty of time for her to prepare.
From
One had to know, although the house didn't look like much from the outside, the construction costs were extremely high. Especially the glass used for the windows, which was purchased from foreigners. How could the prices be low?
Moreover, there was only so much of the stuff. Once it was used up, getting more wouldn't be easy.
The family had nine daughters-in-law. Even if the Ninth Daughter-in-Law was generous, it was hard to guarantee the other daughters-in-law wouldn't feel unhappy about something like this.
She couldn't disregard the other daughters-in-laws' feelings just for the sake of her own daughter's dignity.
"This..." Wasn't it a bit too extravagant?
She thought that there was only this one young sister in the family. The amount of silver she had could be described as enough to rival a nation. She wouldn't care at all about the dowry she was giving
Moreover, she didn't plan to withdraw this money from the public accounts.
"Mother, my husband and I have already discussed it. Hanyue's dowry will be paid from our private funds, and won't touch the Mo family's public accounts."
Ever since settling down in West Ridge Village and starting to raise rabbits,
On the last day of every month, she would gather the family and make the account book public, and distribute wages to everyone. Of course, the wages were allocated based on work, so no one would have any objections.
But she wasn't an ignorant country woman who had never seen the world either. Now that the daughter-in-law had already spoken in front of the future son-in-law, there was no way she could kick the ball back.
"Since that's the case, Mother has also saved up some private funds. I'll take it out to build Hanyue a house too!"
The filial children in the family would all give her some of their wages every month, and she earned some herself from making dolls with the daughters-in-law.
But to build a courtyard like that, she was still worried it might not be enough. Thus,
