Chapter 169: Proposal...
From the moment Ji Xingle hurriedly walked out of the box, the Ji family knew that their in-laws had arrived, and several people stood happily waiting at the door of the box.
Qin Junqiao saw this scene as soon as he came up and immediately stepped forward and said affectionately, "Hello, relatives!"
Ji Caifu said with a smile, "Hello, in-laws!"
The two younger brothers said in unison; "Hello Uncle Qin..."
In order to prevent Qin Junqiao from feeling uncomfortable, the Zhao brothers also affectionately took his hands and entered the box together.
After they were seated, I asked them what they wanted to eat, ordered their meals, and then they started chatting about family matters.
While we were chatting, the waiter brought the dishes one after another.
Looking at the three people who were still chatting with gusto, Ji Xingle had to interrupt them;
"Dear handsome men, eat first and then talk after dinner."
Hearing Ji Xingle's joke, not only the three people who were chatting, but also the others burst into laughter.
During the meal, Ji Xingle was afraid that they would feel embarrassed to pick up dishes that were too far away, so he would occasionally pick up dishes for them, while Fu Leyu picked up dishes for her the whole time.
The two of them were emitting pink bubbles again~
The meal was finished in a happy mood.
After the meal, Ji Caifu volunteered to be the tea maker again. The Zhao brothers laughed and joked.
"Ever since she had some free time at home, she has been thinking about her tea. Now when she is outside, she will try it as long as there is a place to make tea."
Qin Junqiao understood;
"Just like us men, when we have free time we like to arrange flowers, make clothes, and do embroidery."
"Hahaha! Yes!"
......
Then they started talking about the engagement date, since both parties' parents, Ji Xingle, had agreed to it.
So there were no unnecessary questions when we talked about it. When it came to the bride price, it was divided into different categories. For example, the royal family got 128 dan, and the powerful and wealthy got the remaining 88, 66, 48, or 38 depending on their conditions and intentions. In short, it could not exceed 128 dan.
There was a disagreement about the bride price. Qin Junqiao felt that Ji Xingle had helped his family too much, so 48 dan was enough for the bride price.
But because of what Ji Xingle said, Ji's family said that 88dan was a good person, and since he was their first son-in-law, they didn't want to treat him unfairly.
Qin Junqiao insisted on 48 dan, and said that he would make up the dowry to 88 dan, so there was no need to worry about these.
Both sides had been trying to persuade the other side, and finally Ji Xingle couldn't stand it anymore and said that according to the 88 dan, he and Le Yu were the only two people in Beijing now, so he analyzed the pros and cons clearly.
If there is no strong momentum, I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will bring her back when he gets married anyway.
After much persuasion, Qin Junqiao finally gave in with red eyes. His brother Yu had found a good man and a good father-in-law! Good, good, good...
The Zhao brothers understood him. They knew about his life from their conversation, which had been full of ups and downs. Even though he was a descendant of a general, he had no real power now.
Now I must feel that having such relatives is the result of my good deeds in my previous life, so how can I dare to have any more nonsense thoughts?
The two brothers joked, "Don't think too much. Since we are getting married, it must be good for both of us. We have finally gotten what we deserved after all the hardships we have endured."
Qin Junqiao knew they were comforting him, so he didn't want to spoil the fun; "Yes! After all the hardship comes happiness. Now we just have to wait for the child to get married and have a baby."
Fu Leyu, who was sitting on the side and was innocently caught in the crossfire, blushed when he heard what his father said. Fortunately, they were just chatting and didn't catch anyone looking.
Fu Leyu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Xingle looking at him with a smile on his face, and the blush that had just faded reappeared on his face.
Seeing this, Ji Xingle couldn't help but pinch his cheek and whispered jokingly, "Your face is so cute, sometimes red and sometimes white."
Fu Leyu said coquettishly, "You just like to tease me."
"I don't. In my eyes, you are just good-looking and cute."
Fu Leyu's sweet words were no match for Ji Xingle, so she had no choice but to secretly grab her clothes.
Then the two of them started chatting in whispers, sometimes smiling lightly, sometimes covering their mouths with their hands while laughing.
Seeing this, the brothers Ji Ting and Ji Feng did not disturb the two teams, but started eating snacks.
......
The parents of both sides exchanged their birth dates, and finally Qin Junqiao couldn't stand it anymore and left~
Time flies
Soon the engagement day arrived, the gift-bearing team was dressed in festive clothes, and the sound of gongs and drums rang out...
The people on the street were curious about whose wedding it was. It was so grand, and the cold weather couldn't suppress their desire to watch the excitement...
"Whose engagement is this? So arrogant?"
"My goodness, haven't you heard of anyone marrying off their son recently?"
"Looking at this situation, she might be marrying a high-ranking official..."
"What a lucky life! Look at these betrothal gifts, at least tens of thousands of taels..."
"1.2.3.4.5.6...88 loads!"
"How many loads?"
"88 dan..."
"The lady in front is the newcomer, right?"
"He is a handsome guy. I wonder whose family has such a good fortune..."
"Does anyone know whose daughter she is?"
"What are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? I have a boy of the right age at home, so I'll definitely find him a date!"
Hearing this, the person who was talking to him glanced at him, pursed his lips and ignored him. It was tiring to chat with someone who didn't know what was going on...
......
There were people who were envious and jealous along the way, but that did not stop their curiosity. Men, women, young and old all followed the gift-carrying team.
After walking for nearly an hour, we finally arrived at the General's Mansion. We were shocked again when we saw this...
"What's going on? General's Mansion?"
"What happened?"
"This general's mansion..."
The others were shocked after hearing this, and then looked at Ji Xingle who was smiling happily at the door. They spent so much money to marry a man without any background?
Is this woman not in her right mind? Wouldn't it be better to use this money to marry a few more men for fun?
"Does anyone know where this lady came from?"
A woman who had been following from the beginning said;
"I know! This person has a great background. She lives near the Third Princess's home. Think about it, is there a simple person living near the Third Princess's home?"
The woman said mysteriously:
"Also, early in the morning, several luxurious carriages drove towards her home, and one of them belonged to the Third Princess."
Hearing this, someone nearby said, "It looks like the General's Mansion is going to rise again."
"Yes! With the princess protecting them, who would dare to give them a hard time?"
......
On Ji Xingle's side, the matchmaker handed the betrothal gift list to Fu Leyu with a smile, and after saying a lot of auspicious words, he started asking people to report the gift list...
Originally, some people with dark hearts thought that Ji Xingle must be trying to be rich by saying 88 dan, but who knew whether the things inside were valuable?
