Chapter 646: The Qin and Guan families are formally engaged [3]

Madam Guan smiled and said, "This is something that Xiaomi made. It uses several kinds of mushrooms that are dried and then fried, and mixed with several light spices. It has the fragrance and sweetness of the original flavor of food, and it is also healthy, especially suitable for winter cats."

Mrs. Kang was greatly shocked when she saw Mrs. Guan talking about the Qin family with a smile on her face and a look of kindness, and even saw that many young people were more naughty because of the Qin family.

When she first met Old Madam Guan, she was just as lifeless as the clerk Guan, and she felt she had difficulty breathing if she stayed with her for any length of time.

The next day, when Mrs. Kang was taken to see the marriage proposal gifts prepared by the Guan family, she understood even more clearly how much the Guan family valued the Qin family.

"It's actually a pair of wild geese." Mrs. Kang looked at the wild geese that were specially raised in a room and was surprised: "It's not easy to catch wild geese at this time of year."

Moreover, this pair of wild geese have bright eyes, shiny feathers, and smooth and beautiful bodies. The two geese are also a pair, snuggling together with their necks intertwined. They are a rare and beautiful pair of geese.

If it were placed in the capital, someone would buy such a pair of geese for one thousand and two taels of silver.

Madam Guan smiled and said, "I have been keeping an eye on those families who specialize in hunting geese. As soon as I heard the movement, I immediately sent someone to order it. I spent two hundred taels and got it."

Old Madam Guan was very worried about the marriage of Guan the clerk. Not only did she keep an eye on the families who hunted geese all year round, she also kept an eye on the families who were good at choosing dates and fortunes, the families of good embroiderers, and good clothing shops. She also bought a set of headgear every year just as a betrothal gift for her grandson.

What's funny is that Old Madam Guan was afraid that hunters, fortune tellers, and good embroiderers would change their careers because they couldn't get any work, which would delay her grandson's marriage. Seeing that they were having a hard time, she would give them some business so that they could continue doing their jobs and not change their careers.

So Madam Guan didn't feel bad about spending two hundred taels to buy a pair of wild geese.

Mrs. Kang was shocked. Two hundred taels was a sky-high price in the countryside.

And the fact that Old Madam Guan said it without disguising anything obviously showed that she wanted to let her know how much the Guan family valued the Qin family.

Mrs. Kang was a sensible person, and she immediately said, "It is really a good thing that the old lady's family values ​​my in-laws so much. I must tell everyone I know about this good thing."

Madam Guan nodded with satisfaction: "Then we have Madam Lao Kang."

I’ll tell you people from the aristocratic and powerful families clearly that the Qin family is the in-laws that I, an old woman, have been waiting for so long, so you are not allowed to bully my in-laws anymore!

For two consecutive days, Mrs. Kang followed Mrs. Guan to count the marriage gifts for the Qin family.

The Qin family is also preparing items and banquet dishes for the engagement day.

A total of twelve dishes and six kinds of pastries were prepared.

Thanks to Qin Liupo's good fortune, she was able to have a meal with 18 dishes.

But Grandma Qin Liu was not happy and was almost jealous. Why wasn’t the one being engaged her daughter Mei Zi?

Qin Mei saw that she was upset, and after returning home, she warned her: "I advise you to wake up. If you dare to make trouble for cousin Shu's engagement party, not only niece Xiaomi, but also uncle Wu and aunt Wu will tear you apart."

Qin Laoliu also said: "Mei Zi is right, don't commit suicide. If you don't have the protection of your fifth brother and his wife, Xiaomi will definitely kill us."

Qin Liupo was shocked when she heard this and shouted back, "Do I need you to remind me? I'm smart enough to dig a grave and bury myself!"

If she offends Xiaomi girl, and even her fifth brother and his wife plead for her, and if she ruins Shu Jie'er's marriage, her fifth brother and his wife will join Xiaomi girl in beating her to death. She is not stupid.

He scolded Qin Mei again: "Look at Shu Jie'er, she's already engaged, but you're still not anxious. Do you really want to be an old maid?!"

Qin Mei: "If I can't find a true lover, then being an old maid is not bad."

Qin Liupo: "What's the difference between a real lover and a fake lover? Why are you so picky? Just a man will do!"

Haha, Qin Mei sneered: "Widows are all women, just come back and give it to your second brother."

"You you damn girl, you actually cursed your second brother, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Qin Liupo rushed forward and wanted to hit Qin Mei.

Unfortunately, her wrist was twisted and she was in so much pain that she kept shouting, "Hiss, hiss, it hurts, it hurts, Ah Ying, come and save me!"

Qin Ying said, "Mother, I know my limits and won't really hurt you."

Qin Mei: "If mother wants to take sick leave, I can also be filial and help her."

The workshop rules stated that if one was really sick, one could go home and rest without having one's wages deducted. Her mother had long wanted to take advantage of this, but unfortunately Xiao Baiying and the others knew medical skills, so her mother had no way of pretending to be sick.

"Rebellious daughter, rebellious daughter, you actually... woooo." Qin Liupo pretended to cry, hoping that Qin Ying would come to help her.

Qin Mei said, "Mom, stop acting. We can tell whether you are crying for real or fake."

"Also, my daughter doesn't spend any money from the family on her food and daily expenses. She spends her own dividends, and she also gives you money every month. If I get married, I will have to take this money to my husband's family."

"Are you angry when you see your husband's family getting money but you don't?"

Of course I’m angry. Just thinking about it, Qin Liupo is almost mad to death!

"So, mother, if my daughter stays one more year, she can give one more year's money to the family. Isn't it better than giving this money to the in-laws whose names we don't even know?"

"If your daughter never gets married, her dividends can be passed on to your grandson. Isn't this better than passing it on to the descendants of someone with a different surname?"

Hiss, this?

Oh my God, this makes so much sense!

Qin Liupo was convinced and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​forcing Qin Mei to get married, but she also said: "How can you stay single for life? You still have to get married. Getting married will not affect your leaving the dividends to your nephews to inherit."

Qin Mei/Qin Ying/Qin Laoliu: "..."

It has to be you, greed is so clear.

No matter what, Qin Mei finally fought for some quiet and free days for herself.

……

September 26th was a cold but sunny day. The sun came out before noon and melted the white frost.

Both the Qin and Guan families got up before dawn, bathed, changed clothes, and prepared for engagement.

As soon as the Chen hour arrived, the two families set up incense tables to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

Because Mrs. Kang was a matchmaker, she followed Mrs. Guan to worship the ancestors... She was very nervous, especially after seeing a few nameless tablets, she couldn't help but want to kneel down.

Fortunately, I held back.

It was past mid-morning, and Guan the clerk had already put on his new robe. He was supporting Madam Guan, carrying the marriage proposal gifts, and following behind the matchmaker, Madam Kang, as they headed towards the Qin family on Xinda Street, delivering congratulations every few steps.

The first quarter of the Si hour is the auspicious time, so the marriage-proposal team circled the street several times, attracting countless congratulations from the villagers.

The little kid was even more excited, just because the Guan family was so generous and prepared a lot of wedding cakes, wedding candies, and wedding money, and they would give them out more than once. As long as you line up to congratulate, you can get a wedding cake, wedding candy, and wedding money every time you line up.

The little kids were all very happy. Many of them said, "Mrs. Guan is so nice. I wish she could be my grandma!"

"Then I want Guan Shuli to be my father!"

Guan Shuli: "..."

Old Madam Guan laughed out loud when she heard these childish talk, and then looked at the clerk Guan... You should work harder and give birth to two lovely great-grandchildren after you get married!

Thinking of this, Old Lady Guan wished she could go back to the time when Guan Shuli and Qin Shu had a child.

It was half past one quarter before the hour of Si that the Guan family's marriage proposal team finally stepped into Xinda Street.

At the beginning of the Si hour, after completing various rituals, he officially stepped into the Qin family.
