Chapter 407 Kim Nam Joo's Dowry
Liu Bai rode on horseback to find people. While Su He was waiting, he was not idle either. He took Jin Nanzhu to find a group of people to help move things, and first moved out the furniture blocking the door.
When Wan Ning and her people arrived, all the furniture in the house had already been placed at the door.
Su He frowned as he looked at the furniture.
"Master, we are all here. I heard that the dowry this time is larger."
Wan Ning got off the carriage and brought 10 classmates with her.
They are getting married next month, and they are gathering in the academy this month to enjoy their last happy time.
"Yes, here is the list, you guys take a look at it first. Let's discuss how to get started. It will probably take us two days."
Wan Ning took it and took her classmates to watch it together.
Su He turned to look at Jin Nanzhu, "What are you going to do with these furniture?"
Kim Nam-joo looked at it with a headache. Could she move to a bigger house?
"Lotus, do you have any suggestions?"
Su He nodded simply, "I have two suggestions. One is to buy a bigger house, at least three times bigger than this one. I estimate that such a house would cost 20,000 taels. And it may not be available if you want to buy it. You are too tight on time."
Jin Nanzhu nodded repeatedly, "Then I won't change it. I don't have that much money. What's your second suggestion?"
"Sell it, or exchange it with others for something you need. Take a look yourself and see if there is anything you think is unnecessary. Sell it and exchange it for silver and keep it for future use."
Kim Nam-joo knows what's right for her and doesn't try to save face just because she's a princess. She thinks the suggestion of selling the dowry is feasible.
"Lotus, please sell them all to me. These are not all new. Many of them are old ones that have been repainted. They are all heavy and worthless materials. I want to replace them with furniture that is suitable for the size of this house."
Su He nodded with satisfaction. This man could still be saved.
"Do you want to find a dentist yourself, or do you want me to find someone to help you?"
"I'm not familiar with this place, so I'll trouble you, Lotus. If you like these, you can take them all."
Su He shook her head. She had everything she needed. Liu Bai had bought everything the family needed.
"I asked Xiaobai to sell it, and I'll get someone to take it away for you today. I'll have someone come to measure the size tomorrow, and if there's any silver left, I'll give it to you."
"I'll do as you say, Lotus. I still have three rooms of fabrics, most of which are from two or three years ago. I can't wear them all. Can I sell them?"
"Okay, I'll go check it out first."
Su He asked Xiaobai to take people to deal with the furniture first, as leaving it at the door was not a good idea.
Then he took Kim Nam-joo to look at the fabrics.
"The patterns on these fabrics are unique to our Dali. Take a look. Although they are old materials, they are well preserved."
Su He touched the material and found it was indeed unique and soft. The pattern was simple if you looked closely, but the overall look was fresh and clean, making it very suitable as casual wear for young girls and wives.
"Are the cloths in all three rooms like this?"
"Most of them, there are a few red ones occasionally. I only need to keep 10. If there are more, I will just leave them to hide. They will go bad in two years."
Su He thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Let's call the girls over and have each of them pick two horses as payment for their hard work."
"Pick as many as you want. The clothes I've made are enough to last me three to four years. I don't need any of them. Lotus, pick more. You have two younger sisters at home, right? Hehe, let me tell you, the ones in the room on the far left are the prettier. Wait until they finish picking, then you can go to the other room and take your time choosing."
Kim Nam-joo smiled ingratiatingly, and Su He didn't refuse.
"I'm not in a hurry. Let the girls choose first. They are all going to get married soon. These patterns are rare. Let them pick some clothes to wear."
After Su He finished speaking, he called Wan Ning and her group over. "This is Jin Nanzhu's gift to you as a reward for your hard work. I've seen that none of your dowries have this pattern. Each of you can pick two. Jin Nanzhu has sold all the ones she wants at a low price."
The girls were quite happy when they heard this. They knew when they came that they were going to prepare the dowry for Princess Dali. They didn't have a good impression of Dali, and they were willing to come because of Lotus, so they didn't plan to ask for any money, just to kill time and practice their housekeeping skills.
When they heard that they could get two horses for free, they were very happy and went into the house to choose.
Su He saw that there were still a few servants at the door, so he asked them to move in two square tables and take out some of the fabrics so that everyone could see them more conveniently.
"Everyone, please choose the materials first. We are not in a hurry to organize them today."
Su He turned around and spoke to Jin Nanzhu who was standing obediently beside him.
"Go introduce some materials to them and get closer to them. Since you have decided to stay in Dayong for the rest of your life, you must maintain good relationships with everyone. If you continue to act like a princess, no one will pay attention to you."
Jin Nanzhu nodded solemnly, "I'll listen to you. I'm the best at matching clothes. I'll go tell them."
Jin Nanzhu trotted over and praised everyone she met, introducing the fabrics on the table one by one. The girls were just in the period of loving beauty, so they listened very carefully.
Su He watched with a smile, thinking that this person would not come knocking on her door again.
Half an hour later, the girls had all chosen the fabrics that suited them.
Su He looked at the purchasing power of these girls and couldn't help but marvel at it.
The least she bought was ten pieces, and the most was Wan Ning, who bought forty pieces. She said the material was special and she wanted to take them home to give as gifts. She also had sisters-in-law at her in-laws' house, so she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough.
When this was said, everyone thought it made sense, and so dozens of pieces of material were removed from the house.
There was no place to store the cloth in this house, so it had to be sent home first. The horse-drawn carriages outside made more than ten trips.
The girls were in a good mood after shopping and started to chatter and divide the work to clean up.
Jin Nanzhu watched in amazement as the cloth in the two rooms was cleared out in an instant. That was 300 pieces of material. The people of Dayong were really too wealthy.
"Don't be surprised. You've come at a good time. These girls are going to get married soon. In addition to wearing them themselves, they also want to give them away as gifts. Your material is cheap, so it's normal for them to buy more."
Jin Nanzhu nodded in a daze. To be honest, she didn't have that much cloth in Dali. It was only because she was going to marry into Dayong that her father spent a lot of money to prepare it for her, although these expenses were nothing in front of the people of Dayong.
"I see, you still have about a hundred horses. Take out the ones you want to keep and put them on the table. I'll take the rest. I'll take two for free, and I'll pay for the rest."
Jin Nanzhu looked at Su He in surprise, "He Hua, aren't you married already?"
"I have a large family, and I want to send some of it back as a New Year gift."
Su He was thinking about her relatives in Guangyuan, Magistrate Ge, and the old lady. She had to visit them. At least 60 horses had to be sent out. She would keep 30 of the remaining 15 horses for her own use, and then give them to Principal Wu and some people in Yunkai Academy.
The fabrics for the three rooms had been divided up, and it was impossible to sell them outside, so they solved the problem internally.
