Chapter Seventy-Nine: Prepare for Engagement!
The next day, Kapian, Li Xiufeng and Qu Xiangming all got up very early, because the day after tomorrow was the engagement date selected by Qu Xiangming, so now everyone is busy, and they are ready today.
After breakfast, the three of them came to the town to buy and find a matchmaker, the matchmaker was known to Li Xiufeng before, I heard that he has been doing this business for a long time, and he has a good character, he will never lie to the girl to marry the old man, and he will not talk nonsense about how good the man's family background is, so there are many people looking for her to be a matchmaker, but the price is higher than that of ordinary matchmakers, but fortunately, it is reliable and reliable!
Li Xiufeng took care of the matchmaker's affairs alone, because she felt that it was really not suitable for Kapok, a girl who had not been out of the cabinet, to talk about it, and Qu Xiangming was not a man who had to talk about it by himself, so as their elder Li Xiufeng naturally wanted to help solve this matter, so several people acted separately, Li Xiufeng went to negotiate the price with the matchmaker, Kapok went to the vegetable market to buy the ingredients used that day, and Qu Xiangming went to his mother's wedding store to buy gifts and clothes, the more festive the better!
Kapok thought about the ingredients he wanted to buy, so he started to go on a shopping spree, this time it was okay, only cooking for one or two tables of people's meals, so the ingredients needed were not very many, and she could get them alone!
Qu Xiangming went to the jewelry store and directly asked the shopkeeper to take out the best and most unique jewelry in the store for Qu Xiangming to choose, Qu Xiangming selected a lot of various types of jewelry, and asked the shopkeeper to carefully package it and use a big good-looking cloth bag to pack it, and leave directly with the bag. Then I went to my own ready-to-wear shop, chose the big red clothes to wear on the day of the engagement, and by the way, I also chose a silk red dress embroidered with peony flowers for Zhang Yan, so as not to pay for her to buy it here, after all, it is my own shop, Qu Xiangming chose several beautiful silk dresses for Zhang Yan even more intimately, and by the way, I also chose a few clothes for Kapok and Li Xiufeng, which can be described as intimate and thoughtful!
Li Xiufeng also went well here, and negotiated the price, originally the matchmaker wanted to receive fifteen taels of silver, but because he was not talking about matchmaking, he was just going to walk around the scene, so Li Xiufeng talked about five taels of silver, and the matchmaker agreed to come just for a trip.
Several people arrived at the agreed place to meet, and after shopping for such a long morning, Qu Xiangming decided to invite Kapok and Li Xiufeng to go to the big restaurant in the town to rub it, which can be regarded as comforting Kapok and Li Xiufeng, after all, because of their own affairs, they let them run around, and now Kapok and Li Xiufeng are equivalent to Qu Xiangming's family, plus Kapok's life-saving grace and Li Xiufeng's care, he really can't repay this favor!
The three of them entered the restaurant, and Qu Xiangming ordered a lot of dishes, all of which are the signature of this restaurant!
"Xiang Ming! So much, I can't eat it, don't order it" Li Xiufeng said heartbrokenly, although she didn't spend her own money, she also knew that Qu Xiangming was very rich, but she still felt that money couldn't be spent so indiscriminately, wasted!
"It's okay, godmother, he has money, don't be polite to him, he is not short of money" Kapok said unceremoniously, anyway, she wants to slaughter Qu Xiangming fiercely, who called this guy to invite guests to dinner for the first time, don't slaughter it!
Hearing this, Qu Xiangming could only smile helplessly, this girl didn't scold him for a day!
"You young people really don't understand that money is not easy to come by!" Li Xiufeng sighed helplessly.
"Auntie, you let go of eating, don't worry!" Qu Xiangming persuaded, still very happy in his heart Li Xiufeng's mentality of saving for himself.
"Okay, then I won't say more, eat open!" Li Xiuniang smiled.
After the meal was served, a few people tasted it slowly, worthy of the town's big restaurant, this meal was indeed delicious, and kapok was too good, and several people couldn't help but admire.
While eating, Li Xiufeng suddenly remembered something, so he opened his mouth and asked Kapok, "Girl, didn't we have a very smart fox in our family before!" I haven't seen it for a long time, I used to see it eat with us, and it was very humane, and I felt like I knew everything, why didn't I see it for a while! Blame this fox who misses it."
"It's not winter! Foxes are wild, go hibernate in the mountains! I guess I'll be back in a few days! Kapok casually made up a reason and explained.
"Oh! I see! ”
"What fox?" Qu Xiangming had never seen the little fox, so he asked suspiciously.
"It's a little fox I picked up, it's very humane, I kept it at home, it eats the same food as us, it understands everything, it was cold in winter a while ago, I want to come to the mountains to hibernat, I guess it's coming back soon" Kapok explained to Qu Xiangming.
"Oh! I didn't expect that a cunning animal like a fox could also be raised by you, not bad! Qu Xiangming laughed, this obviously means that Kapok is also a cunning person.
"Be careful that I beat you!" Kapok said.
"Then I'd better shut up" Qu Xiangming said with a smile, he was really not Kapok's opponent.
"Okay, you two don't make a fuss, eat quickly," Li Xiufeng said helplessly looking at the two.
After eating, the three of them took their things and drove the carriage back slowly, Qu Xiangming was outside to catch the carriage, Kapok and Li Xiufeng were sitting in the carriage, Kapok couldn't help but sigh that he was busy in the back, and he really should ask a groom to catch the car.
When I passed by the door of Wang Cuihua's house, I heard that there was a lot of noise inside, and many people in the village gathered around the door to watch! Kapok didn't want to join in the excitement and waste time, so he just listened casually and left, it was nothing more than Wang Cuihua teaching the maid, Mu Qing stopped it on the side, and then the two made a big noise, and what did they divorce their wives or something, it really polluted Kapok's ears.
When they returned to Kapok's house, the three of them sat on the sofa to rest, and Qu Xiangming took the clothes he bought for Kapok and Li Xiufeng today and handed them over.
"Not bad!" Kapok praised.
"That's," Qu Xiangming replied proudly.
Kapok put away the clothes sent by Qu Xiangming, and entered the space, and Qu Xiangming took the clothes and jewelry he bought for Zhang Yan and went to Zhang's house.
When the Zhang family saw Qu Xiangming coming over with so many things, they felt that Qu Xiangming was engaged to Zhang Yan with a sincere heart.
"Brother Qu, why do you buy so much, we should prepare these ourselves, how much does it cost!" Zhang Yan really didn't want to use Qu Xiangming's money before she got married.
"Don't worry! in his own store," Qu Xiangming explained.
"Then you can't give me so much! These jewels and dresses are sold for a lot of money! ”
"It's not in the way, this is what I'm willing to give you, you are my wife who hasn't passed through the door, what is this little thing" Qu Xiangming originally wanted to take more, but he was afraid that Zhang Yan would not accept it, so he took such a small part.
"Brother Qu, you are so good to me," Zhang Yan said shyly.
"It should be" Qu Xiangming touched Zhang Yan's head dotingly.
Kapok's house, Kapok came out of the space, and went to Li Qingming's house, asking them to be a witness for Qu Xiangming, Kapok walked slowly on the path, thinking about the fate of this world is also strange, he and An Sheng met because of selling fruits, and knew and loved each other, Li Xiuniang and Zhang Ming became people who stayed together for a lifetime because of getting along, Zhang Yan and Qu Xiangming liked each other because of themselves, and everything seemed to have its development in the dark.
Soon, Li Qingming's house arrived, and it was Tian Yulan who opened the door.
"Auntie, is Uncle Li here? I asked him something," Kapok asked.
"Yes, yes! Come in, your Uncle Li is drinking tea in the yard" Tian Yulan warmly took Kapok's hand.
Kapok followed in and sat down.
"Kapok girl, what do you have to say to me?" Li Qingming asked.
"That's like this, Uncle Li, Brother Qu and Sister Zhang Yan are going to get married, so please go to my house for a meal to be a witness, and then my aunt and Brother Li will also come to my house for dinner!" Kapok said.
"When did these two children come together?" Tian Yulan asked gossipingly.
"I don't really know about them," Kapok said with some embarrassment, not telling her that she had done it herself.
"Okay, our family will definitely go then, what day is it?" Li Qingming said.
"The day after tomorrow"
"In such a hurry?" Li Qingming was surprised!
"Yes! Brother Qu was going back in a hurry, so he booked the day after tomorrow," Kapok explained.
"Hmmm! I know, we'll be on time."
………………
After notifying the Li family, Kapok took his leave and prepared to go back.
This day is considered to be done with this matter, and tomorrow is more leisurely, just waiting for the good day after tomorrow!
After returning home, Kapok and Li Xiufeng embroidered together, Kapok's embroidery can be said to be more and more exquisite, and he is ready to embroider a pair of embroidered shoes for himself, but this embroidered shoes are not so easy to do, but fortunately, Kapok has experience, before Kapok embroidered a pair of embroidered shoes, which is ready to be given to Zhang Yan, and now Zhang Yan and Qu Xiangming are engaged, just at this time, although embroidered shoes are not very valuable, but this is Kapok's mind, Kapok is also going to buy some good-looking things to give to Zhang Yan as a gift for the engagement, But the relationship between Kapok and Zhang Yan, these things really can't reflect the friendship between the two, so they decided to use the embroidered shoes they made to give Zhang Yan.
Kapok embroidered quietly in the afternoon and only embroidered a little bit, this thing takes time, need to be careful and patient people, Kapok before the embroidery shoes were three days of fishing and two days of drying nets to complete, now finally insist on an afternoon to do embroidered shoes did only do so a little bit, Kapok really can't calm down, then put the embroidery frame to do dinner, the people take food as the day! It's good to have enough to eat. Li Xiufeng helped Kapok light the fire, and two hours later, the meal came out of the pot, Qu Xiangming stepped on the point and came back to eat, Kapok directly joked why he didn't stay at Zhang's house and come back after dinner!
After eating, the three of them sat at the dinner table to discuss the engagement the day after tomorrow, the chef handed it over to Kapok, Li Xiufeng as an assistant, Qu Xiangming just took care of himself with peace of mind, after deciding, the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep, go to bed early and get up early in good spirits!
