Zhou Ruoxue could only force a smile as she looked at the piles of betrothal gifts. Although she didn't know how much of the betrothal gifts would remain in the Su family in the end, she felt unhappy. That bitch Su Yue didn't deserve so much betrothal gifts.

As soon as the Duke's wife entered the main hall, she smiled at Su Yuanwang and Zhou Ruoxue and said, "Sir Su, Madam Su, today is a good day. My son loves Yue'er deeply. Madam Su, please accept these betrothal gifts.

I hope the marriage between the two families can go smoothly, and the two children can get married soon and have a happy marriage. "

Zhou Ruoxue quickly replied, "Madam, you are too kind. It is her blessing that my daughter has won the favor of Mr. Li San."

Su Yuanwang also nodded with a forced smile.

Li Ming looked around but didn't see Su Yue. "Hey, where's my beautiful wife? Why can't I see her? Call her out. I haven't seen her for a long time."

When Lady Li Guogong saw that Zhou Ruoxue didn't look well, she quickly patted Li Ming's arm.

"Ming'er, didn't mother tell you that you should wait until the day of your wedding to see her? That way your beautiful wife will become even more beautiful. If you meet her now, she will become ugly."

Listening to Lady Li Guogong coaxing Li Ming like a child, Zhou Ruoxue's unhappy mood became much better. No matter how much the betrothal gift is, she is still a fool.

After listening to his mother's words, Li Ming nodded as if he understood, but there was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Lady Li looked at Su Yuanwang and Zhou Ruoxue, and said with a smile: "Sir Su, Madam Su, if there is no problem, let someone read out the betrothal gift list."

Su Yuanwang and Zhou Ruoxue looked at each other and nodded slightly. The Duke's wife winked, and the nanny next to her took out a long list of betrothal gifts, cleared her throat, and began to sing the list in a loud voice.

"A thousand taels of gold!" As this voice was sung, everyone in the hall was slightly startled. Such a generous golden betrothal gift showed how much importance Duke Li's Mansion attached to this marriage.

Su Yuanwang couldn't help but clench his fist. If these thousand taels of gold could stay in the Su family, it would definitely solve the Su family's current difficulties.

The maid who was reading the list deliberately paused for a moment and glanced at the expressions of the people around her. Seeing that everyone was shocked, her face was full of pride. This was how wealthy the Li Guogong Mansion was.

"A set of colorful embroidered brocade wedding gown and a phoenix crown made of pure gold!"

The Su family members widened their eyes again when they heard this. They didn't expect that Duke Li's Mansion had even prepared Su Yue's wedding dress and phoenix crown.

There was a strange look in the eyes of Lady Li Guogong. Humph, everyone in the entire capital knows that Su Yue is not favored in the Su family.

She was afraid that the Su family would prepare a too inferior wedding dress for Su Yue and bring shame to the Li Guogong Mansion, so she hurriedly prepared these things for Su Yue.

Regardless of what the married life will be like in the future, I must marry into their family in a glorious way and must not lose the reputation of the Li Guogong Mansion.

"Fifty rolls of silk, a hectare of North Sea pearls, a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets..."

Su Yao and Su Rou, who came over to eavesdrop, looked unhappy at this time. Their hearts were full of envy and jealousy.

Although these good things will eventually remain in the Su family, they are unwilling to accept this. However, the two can only keep telling themselves in their hearts that Su Yue is going to marry a fool and there is nothing to envy.

As the nanny sang out the betrothal gift list sentence by sentence, the mood of the Su family became more and more complicated. On the one hand, they were shocked by the generous betrothal gift, and on the other hand, they were worried about not being able to find Su Yue.

They are indeed husband and wife. At this moment, Zhou Ruoxue was secretly thinking in her heart that if she could really find a suitable replacement, the betrothal gifts could be kept.

After reading out the list of betrothal gifts, Lady Li Guogong said slowly, "Lord Su, Madam Su, are you satisfied with these betrothal gifts? If you are, I hope that the two families can prepare for the wedding as soon as possible, so that the children can get married soon, and both our families can have grandchildren soon."

Su Yuanwang said quickly: "Of course I am satisfied. Don't worry, we will do our best to prepare for the wedding."

……

Compared to the festivity and liveliness of the Su family, the farm where Su Yue lives is equally lively.

Su Yue was bored and had no appetite, so she asked someone to build a cloth tent outside, and then had someone cut a few bamboos, split them in two, and then put them up from high to low.

Considering that there were quite a lot of people on the farm, Su Yue asked people to make three bamboo racks, and then had people move tables and chairs to be placed next to the bamboo racks, and also placed a large wooden basin at the end of each bamboo rack.

She also asked Nanny Yang to ask Liu Cui to cook a lot of noodles and various vegetables. In order to make the vegetarian noodles more delicious, Su Yue asked Li Hui to prepare various seasonings.

There are chopped onions and garlic, delicious soy sauce, mellow sesame paste, spicy dogwood and so on.

Su Yue put these seasonings in bamboo tubes and placed them on the table so that everyone could add them according to their taste.

At this time, Honeysuckle came back with a group of servants carrying buckets of spring water. "Miss, this is spring water from the mountain. I have tried it and it is very sweet."

After saying that, she looked at the strange arrangement in the courtyard and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Girl, what are you going to do?"

Su Yue explained with a smile: "I saw that you all were listless due to the heat and couldn't eat, so I planned to make a fun and delicious vegetarian noodle dish to cheer you up."

Honeysuckle suddenly realized and said, "Girl, don't tell me, those messy notebooks are quite useful. From time to time, you can come up with something new."

Su Yue's mouth twitched: What a messy notebook, well, this reason is not bad.

"Go and see if your father and second uncle have rested. If not, ask them to come over to liven things up. Also ask Uncle Song and his family to come. This flowing noodles tastes better the more people there are."

Honeysuckle responded and ran happily to find someone, while Su Yue put some ice cubes into each bucket of spring water.

After a while, people from Liu Shan, Liu Qiang and Song Mingtao's families came over with Ren Dong.

Everyone was surprised when they saw the peculiar arrangement in the yard. At this time, Liu Cui, Liu Xiaomei and Yang Ma each came over carrying a large bucket of cooked noodles and a pot of vegetables.

Seeing that everyone was present, Su Yue asked everyone to sit around the table and stools, and said excitedly: "Everyone come and sit down, and try this plain noodles."

Everyone looked curious but sat down obediently because Su Yue had just arranged three bamboo tubes.

The three families then sat around one each, and since Song Mingtao's family had the smallest population, they sat in the same one with Su Yue.

Song Mingtao smiled and said, "Girl, your idea is really novel. How do you eat it?"

Su Yue patiently explained: "It's very simple. First, you add seasonings according to your own taste, then pour the mountain spring water into the bamboo trough and let the water flow down from a high place with the noodles. Then you can sit at the table and pick up the noodles with chopsticks and eat them with the sauce."
