Chapter 63 Negotiating the Betrothal Gift
I said, "The magpies are chirping this morning. It should mean something good. Sure enough, you are here."
"This time, are you going to be a matchmaker for the youngest?"
Matchmaker Zhao knew all the men and women of the right age in the whole village, so naturally she knew that in the Mu family, there was only one Mu Jiaojiao who was ready to be married.
"Oh, it has to be Sister Zhao, isn't it? I'm here just for my Yao'er's marriage."
"Have you fallen in love with someone's good boy? Are you going to see Zhou Xiucai?" Matchmaker Zhao's thoughts were still on Mu Jiaojiao's pursuit of Zhou Xiucai.
For Gu Qingzhou.
She didn't take it to heart. In her opinion, Gu Qingzhou was just a bachelor.
Not only Matchmaker Zhao, but also many people in the village looked down upon Gu Qingzhou.
"No."
"Sister Zhao, we want you to help us propose marriage to the Gu family. Our youngest son has fallen in love with the boy from the Gu family." After saying this, Liu Guifen smiled awkwardly.
"Gu family?"
Matchmaker Zhao sat up straight in shock.
There is only one Gu family in the whole village, right?
Why can't she believe it?
"Is it Gu Qingzhou?"
Liu Guifen nodded.
Now Matchmaker Zhao was even more dumbfounded, "Sister, you are confused. What kind of good family is the Gu family? The Gu family is the only one. If something happens in the future, there will be no one to help."
"Also, that boy Gu still has problems with his legs and feet. If your Jiaojiao marries him, wouldn't he suffer a lot?"
Matchmaker Zhao frowned.
If the marriage fails, will it ruin her reputation as matchmaker Zhao?
"It's like this. My Jiaojiao likes Boy Gu. I can't help it. Also, Boy Gu wants to marry into my family. Sister Zhao, please pick a good day. Let's go to the Gu family to decide on the betrothal gift and the wedding date. .”
Matchmaker Zhao saw that Mu's family had already decided.
There is no point in saying more.
She asked for the birth dates of Mu Jiaojiao and Gu Qingzhou.
He counted on his fingers and said, "After next month, the sixth day of the sixth lunar month will be a good day."
"Sister, I wonder what kind of betrothal gift you are preparing?"
This marriage is different.
Liu Guifen rubbed her hands, "I don't understand. Sister Zhao, tell me what we should prepare."
"It's like this. According to the tradition of our village, when the Li family married into the family before, they gave it to the Nanfang family, two taels of silver, two sets of bedding, and two sets of new clothes. As for the specific amount, you can go home by yourself. discuss."
Liu Guifen nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it."
"I won't have to trouble Sister Zhao next time."
"Sister, you're welcome. This is what I should do." After all, she was paid.
During dinner that night, Liu Guifen talked about this matter.
"When the eldest brother and the third child got married, I always gave them one tael of silver. Let's not talk about the fourth child for now. This time I plan to give Yao'er two taels of silver and two sets of quilts. Yao'er and Gu Xiaozi Two sets of new clothes each. What do you think?"
"No." The three brothers said in unison.
Even the usually cautious Zhang Yun didn't say a word.
Song Xiuxiu lowered her head, with jealousy and envy in her eyes, but she did not dare to speak after all, for fear that Boss Mu would give her a letter of divorce.
Mu Jiaojiao waved her hand, "No, mother, I will pay for Gu Qingzhou's marriage myself."
"Five taels of silver, two sets of bedding, four sets of new clothes, and two wild geese."
She knew about wild geese when she read novels before. In ancient times, engagement was called betrothal geese.
Others gasped.
"Yao'er, is this, is it too much? And those wild geese, those are only used by people in the city. We don't have these things in our village." Liu Guifen tried to get Mu Jiaojiao to give less. The Gu family didn't have much, they were extremely poor, and they had to rely on Yao'er for everything.
Mu Jiaojiao thought that since she wanted to marry, she had to give him the best.
Material life must keep up.
"Mom, that's all. I'll go to the town to ask about Dayan tomorrow."
"Also, after we get engaged, I'll have to ask my mother to find a craftsman to build a house."
After the meeting, in the big room.
Song Xiuxiu really couldn't hold it back, "Chunsheng, how much money did my sister-in-law make from selling braised pork? If you tell me to give it to Gu Qingzhou, I will give it to Gu Qingzhou." Her words were sour.
Boss Mu raised her head and glanced at Song Xiuxiu. After being married for so many years, she naturally knew what Song Xiuxiu meant.
"What, you've been honest for a few days and now you're starting again?"
There was mockery in his eyes.
"No, I'm not, I didn't." Song Xiuxiu quickly denied, "I just care about my sister-in-law, I don't have any other intentions."
But how could Boss Mu believe it?
"You'd better be like this. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If anything unexpected happens with Yao'er's marriage, it will be all your fault." After the previous incident, Mu Chunsheng had always had a bad attitude toward Song Xiuxiu. No one in the Mu family wanted to talk to her, except the eldest baby and the second baby.
"By the way, mother said that she wants the eldest child to go to the school in the village."
"The money I have earned in the past few years has been deposited with my mother. I will give it to my mother later so that the eldest child can go to school. As for the second child, I can wait for another two years."
Song Xiuxiu had no objection to letting her children go to school.
"So, mother has so much money?" That's not to help the Song family.
As expected, the richer you are, the stingier you are.
Boss Mu ignored her.
"Then if the eldest child goes to study, my sister-in-law will also have to pay some money. Otherwise, let the second child go with her. The two children can still have a companion."
"Song Xiuxiu!" Boss Mu stood up and looked at Song Xiuxiu condescendingly, his face full of chills.
"Did you make a mistake again?"
"What obligation do you have to provide your son with education? What are you thinking?"
"Yao'er is getting married. As the eldest brother, I can't pay for it. How dare you worry about Yao'er's money?"
Seeing that Boss Mu was about to get angry, Song Xiuxiu panicked, "Chunsheng, I didn't mean that. I just didn't understand it for a while. Don't be angry. I will embroider two purses for my sister-in-law and give them to her on her wedding day." Give it to her, don’t be angry.”
Now that the divorce letter is in Boss Mu's hands, Song Xiuxiu really doesn't dare to make a mistake.
Boss Mu then continued to sit down.
But he was still wary of Song Xiuxiu.
Mu Jiaojiao didn't know any of this.
She is in Liu Guifen's room, receiving education in love.
"Yao'er, what will happen if people in the village find out that you gave so many betrothal gifts to the boy of the Gu family?"
"It's okay." Mu Jiaojiao didn't care about this.
Making money is to improve one's living conditions, otherwise what's the point of hiding it?
Besides, if she goes back one day, Gu Qingzhou will also have a good life.
"This time, are you going to be a matchmaker for the youngest?"
Matchmaker Zhao knew all the men and women of the right age in the whole village, so naturally she knew that in the Mu family, there was only one Mu Jiaojiao who was ready to be married.
