After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Brother Xiuwen!"

Seeing Zhou Xiuwen, Chu Wanyan stepped forward excitedly, but when her eyes fell on the two shabby packages of cakes, her smile couldn't help but freeze.

"Yanyan." Zhou Xiuwen directly took Chu Wanyan's hand affectionately, completely ignoring that there were other people present.

Chu Wanyan looked behind Zhou Xiuwen, wondering if someone else had taken the gift.

"Brother Xiuwen, is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"

"We're all here, Yanyan, meet my mother soon." Zhou Xiuwen motioned for her to look at Zhou's mother aside.

Chu Wanyan quickly raised a smile and blessed her body, "I've met my aunt."

"You're welcome!" Mother Zhou stepped forward with a smile on her face, held Chu Wanyan's hand and praised, "Xiu Wen praises you every day at home, and today we can see you. You are indeed beautiful and well-behaved, no wonder you can Come into our family’s eyes.”

"Auntie, thank you!" Chu Wanyan responded with a shy look on her face, her heart filled with joy. Her focus was entirely on Zhou Xiuwen praising her at home all day long, and she didn't hear anything wrong at all.

However, Xian Yue, who was standing behind Chu Huanyan, couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, what you said seems to be that we in the Hou family are high up."

Chu Huanyan had a smile on her lips and didn't say much. She just asked people to sit down.

Chu Wanyan did not shy away and sat directly next to Zhou Xiuwen. The two whispered from time to time, looking extremely close.

Zhou's mother picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea. She glanced at the two of them from the corner of her eye and felt confident.

When he put down the cup and looked at Chu Huanyan, his expression already took on the attitude of a parent.

"Sister Wan Yan, you have also seen that the two of them are so in love with each other. In fact, proposing marriage today is just a formality. In the final analysis, my family Xiu Wen is thinking about Wan Yan in his heart and refuses to be less polite."

When Chu Wanyan heard this, she looked at Zhou Xiuwen with even more affection, "Brother Xiuwen, you are so kind!"

Chu Huanyan glanced at the two packages of pastries and couldn't help but curl her lips.

Even if ordinary people come to propose marriage, they will definitely not bring only these two bags of cakes, not to mention that they are here today at the Marquis Mansion.

Only Chu Wanyan, who had been carried away, would believe this kind of nonsense.

"Young Master Zhou attaches so much importance to the dinner, and I, as a sister, feel relieved. Originally, I thought you were being negligent when I didn't see you come to propose marriage. But now it seems that I have misunderstood. I think it will definitely change in the past few days. It must be a betrothal gift carefully prepared."

Hearing Chu Huanyan mention the betrothal gift, a look of uneasiness flashed across the faces of Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiuwen.

Chu Wanyan was also reminded to come to her senses and noticed the two packets of cakes again.

"Brother Xiuwen, is this the betrothal gift you prepared?"

Seeing Zhou Xiuwen nodding, Chu Wanyan's face suddenly turned unpleasant. It seemed that she didn't expect that the betrothal gift on the day of the marriage proposal would be so shabby.

But before she could ask any more questions, Zhou's mother sighed and spoke first.

"Although our Zhou family is from a scholarly family, it has always been simple and does not have much wealth. Although the gifts for this appointment are not many, they are full of gratitude. If you want to come to a high-ranking family in the Marquis Mansion, you will not care about gifts like this from our Zhou family. .”

With that said, Zhou's mother stood up and walked to Chu Wanyan, and held her hand affectionately.

"Wan Yan, I have already treated you as my own daughter in my heart. As a family, there is no need to be so polite, don't you think so?"

Chu Huanyan sat on the main seat and looked at this scene with a smile.

Although Chu Wanyan wanted to marry Zhou Xiuwen, and she knew that the Zhou family's financial situation was far inferior to that of the Hou Mansion, Chu Wanyan always cared about face, and she was naturally unwilling to do so when she offered two packs of cakes as a betrothal gift.

I just don't know if she dares to say it in front of Zhou's mother.

Sure enough, the smile on Chu Wanyan's face was obviously much stiffer at this moment. She looked at Mother Zhou in front of her with a look of hesitation, and then turned to look at Chu Huanyan.

"Sister, what do you think?"

Is this because he is dissatisfied and embarrassed to have hurt Zhou’s mother’s face, so he wants to push himself out to be this evil person?

Chu Huanyan faced the looks of several people and said calmly: "After all, it is your marriage. As long as you are satisfied, I, the eldest sister, will not say anything more."

"As expected of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, she is indeed sensible!" Mother Zhou said immediately.

Chu Wanyan frowned and quietly winked at Chu Huanyan, obviously hoping that she could talk again.

Chu Huanyan reached out to pick up the tea cup, avoiding Chu Wanyan's gaze, and took a slow sip of tea before speaking again.

"If the betrothal gift for the marriage proposal is only two bags of cakes, then I wonder how the Zhou family plans the betrothal gift for the subsequent marriage?"

Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiuwen looked at each other, and Zhou's mother was still the first to speak.

"Sister Wanyan, our Zhou family is indeed not rich, but Xiuwen is a scholar and will definitely have a great future. Wanyan will definitely not be wronged if she marries her, so this betrothal gift..."

Mother Zhou hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her right hand and spread her five fingers.

"Five thousand taels?" Chu Wanyan asked subconsciously.

Mother Zhou's face froze, a flash of dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes, and then she said to Chu Wanyan with a smile on her face.

"Wan Yan, you are joking, how can we compare to the Hou family's wealth. A dowry of several thousand taels or tens of thousands taels must be trivial to you, but our Zhou family does not have so much money as a betrothal gift."

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows, "How much do the Zhou family plan to give?"

"Is this..." Mother Zhou said with a mocking smile, "Fifty taels of silver."

"What?" Chu Wanyan's voice suddenly rose, and she looked at Zhou's mother in disbelief.

Even Chu Huanyan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Although she knew that the Zhou family would never be able to give much as a betrothal gift, she did not expect that they would actually offer the amount of five taels of silver.

After being stunned, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart.

It seems that the Hou Mansion agreed to the marriage too happily, which made the Zhou family feel that they were completely convinced of Chu Wanyan, so he started to reveal his face so quickly.

"Auntie, do you mean that the betrothal gift is only five taels of silver, or is it just five taels of silver, and other things have been prepared in addition?" Chu Wanyan asked unwillingly.

"Wan Yan, you grew up in fine clothes and fine food, do you still care about this betrothal gift? Or..."

Zhou's mother paused for a moment, winked secretly at Zhou Xiuwen, and then spoke.

"Or are you saying that you despise our Zhou family and think the betrothal gift is too small, so you don't want to marry Xiuwen?"

"Of course not!" Chu Wanyan quickly turned to look at Zhou Xiuwen, "Brother Xiuwen, I sincerely want to marry you."

Zhou Xiuwen looked at Chu Wanyan with tenderness on his face.

"Yanyan, of course I know what you mean. But it's not easy for my mother to raise me alone. I can't afford more from this betrothal gift. The love between you and me is as strong as gold, how can these vulgar things be able to It’s measured, isn’t that what you think?”

"Of course!" Chu Wanyan spoke quickly, fearing that if she was slower, the other party would misunderstand that she only values ​​money, "Brother Xiuwen, don't worry, I am willing to marry you even without a betrothal gift."

After saying that, Chu Wanyan did not forget to turn her head and look at Chu Huanyan.

"Eldest sister, you won't stop our marriage just because the bride price is small, right?"
