After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil
Chapter 48 Amazing Betrothal Gift
There was a naughty child who wanted to reach out and pull the wings of the wild goose, but was pulled back by his parents. The child refused and immediately burst into tears, and no matter how the parents tried to comfort him, it didn't work.
The people in the main hall could no longer sit still and came out.
Everyone in the Lin family felt dizzy when they saw the things filled in the yard, and they all turned to look at Li Yanqi.
"Yan, Yanqi this..." Mother Lin was so shocked that she stuttered.
"This is the betrothal gift that I prepared. I don't have parents or elders so I don't understand much about these things. If there is anything that is not well thought out or missing, remember to tell me."
Is this considered imprudent? Everyone was speechless.
The child who was trying to pull the wild goose's wings and was being held was still crying. The child's mother awkwardly picked up the child and wanted to leave, but the yard was surrounded by villagers in three layers inside and outside, and she could not squeeze out for a while, and sweat broke out on her forehead due to anxiety.
Lin's mother is usually warm and generous, and she knows how to behave.
He took out the candies that Li Yanqi had bought and distributed them to everyone in the yard, then said with a loud laugh, "Today is the day my daughter is getting engaged, and I hope all the villagers will share in the joy."
The crying child stopped crying immediately after getting the candy. He put the candy in his mouth, licked his lips and became happy again.
The child's mother smiled gratefully at Lin's mother and said auspicious words: "If you ask me, Yanyu is lucky. She is good-looking, has a good personality, is well-educated, and has found such a... such a... fiancé."
Due to the rumors over the years, the woman couldn't think of any suitable words to praise him, so she just let it pass.
Today, Magistrate Dong came in person to act as a matchmaker, Li Yanqi also became an official, and there was a yard full of betrothal gifts. This shows how much he values this marriage. The people always have a natural fear of officials.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, everyone who had received candy started talking about auspicious things.
No matter what they think in their hearts now, there are certainly some discordant voices.
"Hey? I remember that the eldest daughter of the Lin family was engaged to Mr. He from our county. Why is it that the marriage has changed to Lieutenant Li?"
A thin young man, not sure if he is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, coming out at this time is bringing bad luck to others.
"Skinny monkey, what do you want to say? When did Yanyu get engaged to Mr. He? Stop talking nonsense. Can't even eating candy stop you from talking nonsense?"
The man was humiliated and felt unhappy. He shouted in a timid tone, "Tsk, I don't care."
He threw the candy on the ground and squeezed out of the crowd cursing.
Li Yanqi's face darkened, but he didn't want to see blood today. In a corner where no one was paying attention, Ma Xigui slowly retreated from the crowd.
The scene was a little awkward for a moment, and Aunt Fat stepped out to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, today is the Lin family's big day, we are also sharing in the joy, let's all go home, let's all go home, don't crowd in the yard, it's not decent."
Then, he turned to Lin's mother and said with a smile: "When the date is set, remember to inform the villagers and have them all come to your house for the wedding banquet. Meiying, you won't be reluctant, will you?"
Mother Lin was grateful to Auntie Pang for helping her out and said loudly, "How can that be possible! I'll let everyone know when the date is set. There will be plenty of wine and meat!"
Everyone responded and walked out of the Lin family one after another.
Mother Lin greeted Chen Ermu and others outside the door enthusiastically.
"Come in and sit down. Thank you for your trouble. I'm going to cook first. Everyone, please wait until we finish eating before leaving."
When Chen Ermu heard that there was food to eat, he walked inside happily.
After being glared at by Li Yanqi, he stepped back timidly.
He was so scared that he stuttered even more. He said to Lin's mother with a sad face, "I, I still have things to do... I won't bother you for now. Big brother, I'm leaving first."
Li Yanqi pretended to be kind and said with a smile: "Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
Lin's mother thought they had official business to attend to, so she did not try to keep them.
The two brothers of the Lin family and Li Yanqi were driven to the main hall by the two sisters-in-law of the Lin family to chat.
The two of them went to the kitchen to clean up the food.
Aunt Li touched Lin's mother's sleeve and asked her worriedly, "Meiying, I remember that this boy didn't have a very good reputation before. How did you and Zhige agree to this?"
"Those rumors are not all true. Sigh... Yanqi is not easy to be with. She is not a bad person by nature and is good to Zhizhi. The world is so chaotic now. If she has someone to protect her, her father and I can rest assured."
Li put down the green vegetables in her hand and sighed: "Alas, who said it wasn't true? The world is so chaotic now."
She cheered up and said, "Forget it. I don't want to think about these annoying things. I really want to know how much betrothal gift this boy gave to our Zhizhi. Meiying, aren't you curious?"
To be honest, Lin's mother was very curious about what was in so many boxes of different sizes.
Mother Lin raised an eyebrow and said simply, "Let's go and take a look."
There are eight mahogany boxes in the yard, four large and four small, and a sandalwood box placed on top of the small mahogany boxes.
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and swallowed.
"Look at the big one first."
He casually opened the large box closest to them.
I saw that it was full of fabrics of various colors.
"this!"
Lin's mother's forehead was sweating and she didn't even dare to touch it.
Li's eyes widened. "Isn't this Shu brocade? It's a grand piece of work!"
Mother Lin had a premonition that inside the next box, there would be something even more unbearable for them, so she ran to lock the door.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think is in the second box?"
"I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened."
But when it was opened, Li couldn't help but exclaim.
Inside the huge box was an exquisite wedding dress. I believe any woman would be moved by this dress.
Mother Lin didn't dare to touch it and her face turned red.
Nana said, "This is the work of Jin Niangzi from Jinxiufang, I recognize it. Is that the Zhai bird embroidered on the veil?"
Logically speaking, only the royal family can use the Zhai bird pattern, but now, all the royal family has been killed by King Cheng, so why would there be so many rules?
Having been frightened twice, the two sisters-in-law had become more tolerant by the time they opened the third box.
Looking at the exquisite bedding in front of her, Li couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.
"My God, the pattern on this quilt is so beautiful. It must be the work of Jinxiu Pavilion. Your son-in-law is quite thoughtful."
According to etiquette, things like wedding dresses and quilts should be embroidered by the woman herself after she gets engaged.
However, the current situation is special and time is tight, so Lin Yanyu and her mother simply do not have the time to embroider these things.
I didn’t expect Li Yanqi had thought of it in advance.
The fourth box was full of books. Lin Yanyu loved reading, so this gift was very thoughtful. The books were precious, so this box would cost at least a hundred taels of silver.
The things placed in the four small boxes were even more thoughtful: two boxes of silk flower jewelry, and two boxes of fashionable rouge and powder.
The two sisters-in-law were so amazed that their saliva was almost dry from smacking their lips.
"Hey, what's in this sandalwood box?" Li asked.
Sandalwood is expensive, and a small box must be worth a lot of money. So what’s in this box?
The curiosity of the two reached its peak.
"Then... take a look?"
Mother Lin said as she slowly opened the box.
There were five silver bills lying inside. None of the things on the ground were as shocking as these five silver bills.
Mother Lin choked and almost fainted.
"Oh my god! Five...five thousand taels! Tsk tsk." Li marveled and shook her head.
"Meiying, your son-in-law is not a simple person, tsk tsk ..."
But Li's envy only increased Lin's mother's worries.
She thought, isn't Li Yanqi an orphan? Where did so much money come from? She would go to her daughter to ask for clarification, and make sure it was not money from unknown sources.
