Chapter 101: Auspicious Kiss
Looking at the packages of large and small bags, Jixiang was moved, and his eyes were unconsciously moistened, but the man did not flick his tears, and Jixiang secretly wiped away the tears with his fingers.
Then he raised his delicate but resolute face, said goodbye to his parents and brother and sister-in-law with a smile, and left in the carriage under the concerned eyes of several people.
The days go on like this, the season of cat winter is coming, and the whole camphor village is covered in silver, beautiful and not like words, but it is also silent and not like words.
Fu Bao sat on the warm kang and pretended to sleep, but his mental power had long been tossing in his backyard, the grain was ripe in batches, and the batches were harvested, but Fu Bao was still anxious in his heart.
She didn't know how much food she had hoarded in her spirit space, but for some reason, Fu Bao always felt that it was not enough, and as for why she felt this way, Fu Bao said that she couldn't spy on the heavens.
Suddenly, a tree in the window shook slightly, Fu Bao smiled, withdrew his spiritual power, came to the hall, climbed up the big kang in the hall, and snuggled next to Grandma Xiang.
When Grandma Xiang saw Fu Bao on the kang, she hurriedly stopped what she was doing, and was about to help Fu Bao pour tea and get pastries, but was interrupted by a knock outside the door.
In the season of heavy snowfall, auspiciousness came back, driving the snow-covered carriage into the yard, Grandma Xiang looked at the door as if she had just woken up from a dream, and then looked at Fubao, no wonder the little girl gave up the house today.
This time, the auspicious complexion was obviously much better than the last time I went home, and even the clothes and hats on my body were rich and noble, which they had never seen before.
Fu Bao was in his heart, the clothes and hats on Jixiang's body were obviously made of fox skin, and such a large fox fur coat required at least more than 20 fox skins.
And the quality of this fox fur is too good, so ......
Grandma Xiang touched the clothes on Jixiang's body and couldn't help laughing, Jixiang can even put on the fox fur coat worn by the rich and noble, proving that life is really good.
Jixiang still brought back a lot of gifts this time, especially Fubao's, colorful clothes, shoes and socks, which can almost open a small ready-to-wear shop.
Grandma Xiang took the gift from Jixiang's hand, and then asked: "Jixiang, when are you going to come to the door to propose, I have already told the matchmaker, and I will go to propose when you come back." ”
Ji Xiang gratefully made a gesture to Grandma Xiang, he knew that his father and mother were good, even after knowing that his future daughter-in-law was not a literati, he did not object.
"Today, no...... I listen to my parents. Ji Xiang quickly changed his words after speaking, in order to hide his urgency.
"You kid, my mother is ready here, you can give whatever you say, but you can't go too far, after all, your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law didn't give much dowry at the beginning." Grandma Xiang reminded.
"Mother, Miaoqin only needs five taels of silver and a hundred catties of coarse grain as a dowry, and nothing else, she also said that if I have something convenient, I can buy her some pastries or something." Jixiang said.
Grandma Xiang nodded, this bride price is really similar to peace and wealth, and she will no longer give two pieces of cloth, this is auspicious and earned by herself, and it cannot be regarded as silver in the gongzhong.
"Then give two more pieces of cloth, the girl's family always wants to make two beautiful clothes, and use the cloth you bought." Grandma Xiang said.
Jixiang smiled, in fact, he has already sent everything that should be sent, what gold bracelets and silver hairpins, he has prepared for Miaoqin, and Miaoqin also accepted it generously.
Although all the wages and silver of the dart were handed over to his father, he had a lively brain, and he could bring things from the north to the south to sell, and bring things from the south to the north to sell.
"Mother, listen to you." Jixiang was happy in his heart, picked up Fu Bao, kissed him hard, Fu Bao quickly closed his eyes, and accepted the merit points emanating from Ji Xiang.
"Then you can follow me to find the matchmaker now, you also know the matchmaker, and it is enough to give five coins of silver." Grandma Xiang said with a smile.
Jixiang hurriedly put down Fu Bao and pulled Grandma Xiang out of the door, Fu Bao shook his head, what is he in the first place in Ji Xiang's heart, it turns out that the uncle is a liar.
The process of saying that the kiss was very smooth, and the matchmaker was grateful for the auspiciousness because of the previous incident, so this time she riveted her strength and said that the auspiciousness was in the sky and on the earth.
Shen Miaoqin's father, Shen Biao, is five big and three thick, and because he has been walking darts, his face is darker, and he looks more rough.
When the matchmaker saw Shen Biao's appearance, she felt a little drumming in her heart, and she didn't understand that she was a good child, but she wanted to find such a family to say goodbye.
Shen Biao has a lot of experience in life, and when she saw the appearance of the matchmaker, she knew what she was thinking, and turned her head and asked Shen Miaoqin to come out, her daughter looked like her mother, and she was still beautiful.
Shen Miaoqin came out without twisting, wearing a silver fox fur coat, although her face was not as delicate as that of the boudoir lady, but it was also attractive.
"This Miss Shen family, the Xiang family auspicious asked me to come to propose, the dowry has been brought, if you are willing, please accept the dowry." The matchmaker is very optimistic about this girl, her eyes are upright, and she is worthy of auspiciousness.
Shen Miaoqin nodded dryly, seeing that her father hadn't expressed her position yet, she couldn't help but push it, making Shen Biao angry.
"Matchmaker, the dowry has been accepted, you let Jixiang this kid come to pull the dowry tomorrow, as for when to get married, let Jixiang and his father decide." Shen Biao said.
"Ming...... Pull the dowry tomorrow ......"
The matchmaker's heart jumped, she was in such a hurry, she wouldn't buy one get one free like the previous family, but the matchmaker knew that she couldn't ask, otherwise she would definitely be beaten out by them.
"Hey, I'll talk about it now." The matchmaker hurriedly turned around and left, and the moment she turned around, her eyes still glanced at Shen Miaoqin's stomach vaguely, but unfortunately the fox fur coat was tightly wrapped and she couldn't see anything.
Shen Miaoqin also looked at her abdomen, and couldn't help but ponder, people say that to look at a daughter-in-law, you have to look at your buttocks, and only those with big butts are easy to give birth to, but why should the matchmaker look at her belly.
The matchmaker was very loyal to her professional ethics, returned to Xiang's house, and quietly told Grandma Xiang what she had seen and heard, Grandma Xiang looked at the matchmaker's worried eyes, and couldn't help laughing:
"Matchmaker, thank you, we will go to ask for the dowry tomorrow, and you said that we will come to the door on the sixteenth day of the first month to welcome our relatives."
Matchmaker: "......"
Shen Miaoqin's dowry is not much, a dowry box, plus a few quilts, but Jixiang knows that Shen Miaoqin's pressed box has a lot of silver, a thousand taels.
That is the hard-earned silver that she and her father have saved in their lives, which can be said to be their lifetime savings, and the only hope of the old man is that his daughter will live well.
