205: Hairpin (3 more)

"Xiaolang, how are the relationship between eldest sister and Dong Caizi?"

After entering Guanyin Temple, the third lady secretly inquired.

Cheng Qing summarized it seriously: "I've had a good chat, I'll have a chance to watch."

Dong Jinqiu couldn't control his mouth and said something to Cheng Hui all the way. Cheng Hui was generous, but Dong Jinqiu felt something strange in his heart. When he arrived at Guanyin Temple, he was no longer willing to talk to Cheng Hui.

He knew that if he showed some satisfaction, he was afraid that Dong and Cheng families would be excited to make the marriage.

Even if Miss Cheng is not satisfied, she dares not express her opinion, right?

Dong Jinqiu refused to show too much, but he didn't know that it was exactly the case. Mrs. Dong was already happy in her heart - a person who talked a lot suddenly stopped talking, but she was just shy!

I had thought about it for two days before I agreed to meet Mrs. Cheng.

Did you take this at a glance?

If I had known this, why would I have waited for those two more days?

Mrs. Dong became more and more enthusiastic about the Cheng family. The two families ate vegetarian food at Guanyin Temple. Before going down the mountain, Mrs. Dong took out the meeting gift that she had prepared for her to the eldest lady. Of course, the second and third lady also had them. Both of them got the jade bracelet that Mrs. Dong took off from her wrist, but the eldest lady got a golden hairpin from Mrs. Dong.

"Hui Niang's head is so good, it's black and shiny, and she's just about to match it with a good hairpin."

Mrs. Dong looked at Liu and Li. Seeing that neither of them objected, she raised her hand and inserted the golden hairpin into Cheng Hui's room.

I've got a hairpin in it!

Cheng Hui didn't react for a while.

Nowadays, both men and women meet each other. If the man is satisfied, they will insert a golden hairpin for the lady’s wife on the spot, using the golden hairpin as a contract. This marriage will enter the next stage.

If he doesn't like it, the man will give two pieces of colorful satin to suppress the woman's surprise and apologize.

Cheng Hui was ready to collect the colored satin, but Mrs. Dong put a golden hairpin on the spot!

What should I do now?

Cheng Hui couldn't help but go to see Dong Jinqiu.

Dong Jinqiu didn't expect his mother to move so quickly, so he made a statement without asking him. What should he do now? Could he rush up and pull off the golden hairpin from Miss Cheng's head?

For Miss Cheng, it was a slap in the face on the spot, a great humiliation... When she thought of Miss Cheng's resignation, Dong Jinqiu's feet were nailed to the ground and had roots.

Actually, he really can't stop him.

When Mrs. Dong took out the gold hairpin instead of the colorful satin, Dong Jinqiu could stop it.

Why didn’t you stop it? This may cause Dong Jinqiu torture his heart!

Dong Jinqiu was not moved, and Cheng Hui was surprised.

——So, Dong Caizi actually agreed to this marriage?

Cheng Hui was also in a trance.

Then she talked so much with Dong Jinqiu all the way.

What would Dong Jinqiu think of her?

Cheng Hui was so generous just now that she wore the Dong family hairpin on her head, and her face turned red.

The more Mrs. Dong looks at Cheng Hui, the more satisfied she is.

If she hadn't been afraid of being rude, she would have asked about her wedding date on the spot today!

Resisting the excitement of marrying his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Dong said she would come to her house on a date. Liu's eyes were slightly wet and she agreed in one mouthful.

The Dong family came to the door again to discuss the "small gift". How many betrothal gifts the Cheng family asked for, how many betrothal gifts the Dong family could give, and how much dowry the Cheng family would give. These all require a formality.

This marriage must be brought from verbal to reality.

Dong Jinqiu went down the mountain in a daze, while Cheng Hui was also absent-minded.

Both of them thought that the other party was here to go through the motions, and they were waiting for the other party to refuse. Wait for me, wait for me, wait for the hairpin!

Cheng Qing not only had to watch Dong Jinqiu pick up her elder sister in front of her, but also felt like she was forcibly stuffed with dog food... It was not just stuffing dog food, it was obviously cheating the single dog on the mountain and then killing it!

So, is her eldest sister really going to marry Dong Jinqiu?

Cheng Qing felt that the whole process was not real, but on the way back to the city, Li was already discussing the issue of the eldest lady's dowry with Liu.

"The Dong family is a big family, and Dong Jinqiu is the eldest grandson of the legitimate branch. Even if he wants to get married, it will be very grand. The Dong family will not be stingy with the betrothal gift. In terms of dowry, we will not compete with the Dong family, but we cannot lose too much."

When we came, it was Li, Liu and Cheng Hui in a carriage, and the second wife and the third wife were in a carriage.

The elders were about to talk about this marriage on the way, so they drove Cheng Hui to another car, and Li and Liu discussed it.

Cheng Hui had to be teased by her two sisters, but she didn't know that Liu and the others had already talked about her dowry.

The daughter at home said she was married, and her parents were afraid that she would marry in poverty and would suffer in the future.

If you marry too well, you may be despised by the man if your dowry is not generous. It will be difficult for you to be despised by the man.

Since Li wanted to protect the Dong family, in the two days when Dong Jinqiu nodded and agreed to see each other, Liu had already planned a dowry with Cheng Qing. The five thousand taels that Cheng Hui inherited from her biological mother Qi naturally wanted to take Cheng Hui to get married. Cheng Qing had already gone to the yamen to transfer the more than 300 acres of land back to Cheng Hui's name.

In addition to this dowry field, Cheng Qing would take out 5,000 taels of silver as a box of silver and transfer the two cents of the annual profit of Xianglu Workshop to Cheng Hui.

With the income from the farm, the cash bank, and the dividends from the workshop, Cheng Qing thinks that Cheng Hui's dowry assets are quite reasonable.

In addition, she also asked Mr. He to help buy furniture, silk, and Cheng Hui in the shortest time. These combined cost several thousand taels. Cheng Qing started by asking Si Yan to collect silk, and until Xianglu's production doubled this year, he made more than 10,000 taels of silver one after another. He squeezed his wallet dry when he married a sister. When the second wife and the third wife got married, he didn't know if she could save enough money again.

Liu said to Li, and Li was shocked:

"Brother Qing'er, this child is silent, but he is quite good at managing the business."

Li didn't expect Cheng Qing to take out so much money in one breath. Li could see the situation when Cheng Qing's family first returned to Nanyi.

Whether or not they are pretending to be poor can be judged after having been in contact with Cheng Qing's family for a long time.

——It’s really poor.

So this money was saved up one after another in the past three years.

If the Liu family had such a way of operating, the family would not have to rent a house in Wangbu merchant.

Li knew that this was all Cheng Qing's contribution.

I can't blame her for beloved Brother Qing'er. It's really hard to catch this child at home and outside.

Li sighed: "Don't worry about money. Now holding the fields and houses, there are so many people who want to give it to Brother Qing, it depends on whether Brother Qing is willing to accept it. Even if he refuses everything, he will also bear the cost of travel in the test tribe in the capital."

If the money paid in the clan is not enough, the fifth house will also pay the money.

What Li is going to talk about now is Cheng Hui's dowry. She took out two pieces of deeds from her arms and gave them to Liu.

Liu repeatedly delayed his request, and Li was so angry that he forced him to get angry:

"This is for Sister Hui, but you have to accept it for her and take it with you."

Liu was in a dilemma.

How dare you accept this?

One is a land deed on the outskirts of Xuandu Prefecture, with a total of 300 acres.
