From the end to the other world

What he said was no different from a seller who was clearly marking the price. Except for the merchants, everyone in the room showed expressions of disbelief.

Matchmaker Zhao has seen a lot of human affairs in marriage, but this is the first time she has seen such a big mouth. Even if ordinary people ask for a dowry, they will have a limit. If it is too much, even if the in-laws give it, you still have to worry that your own family will be embarrassed when they marry.

Besides, this is a full 100 taels, which can buy more than ten acres of fertile land, and even buy a shop in the town.

A family in their village who can spend four or five taels of silver a year is already very wealthy. Few people have seen so much 100 taels.

She was here as a matchmaker, so she naturally wanted everyone to be happy, so she looked at the old lady Shang who was sitting in the main seat, hoping that she would make a statement.

The old lady remained silent, her eyelids slightly closed, apparently acquiescing to Shang Mingchi's words.

Matchmaker Zhao shook her head helplessly at Qin Luochuan. At this point, she couldn't change anything. Whether she agreed or refused depended on Qin Luochuan's choice.

After hearing Shang Mingchi's words, Qin Luochuan's first reaction was to look at Shang Qingyue who was sitting in the corner. Although 100 taels was a lot, especially since he had just finished building the house, it could still be squeezed out.

Being treated like this by her relatives, no matter how bad the relationship is, Shang Qingyue might feel uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after Shang Mingchi finished speaking, Shang Qingyue's face turned pale visibly.

Seeing him like this, Qin Luochuan felt like his heart was being pulled by something, sore, a little uncomfortable, and a little distressed.

He smiled consolingly at Shang Qingyue, then turned his head to look at the old lady Shang, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Luo Chuan will come to hire you in three days."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room except He Feixing looked over in shock.

Matchmaker Zhao didn't expect him to actually get so much money, and the merchants didn't expect him to agree to the terms.

But their original purpose was for money, as long as they could afford so much dowry, it didn't make any difference to them who Shang Qingyue married.They have already torn their face, and they would not think that if the person Shang Qingyue married had a rich family, they would help them more. What kind of day is it?

But is this person really a poor scholar?

Judging from Zhao Matchmaker's performance, this person's family should not be considered rich, and he is from a nearby village, but he agreed to the 100 taels of dowry without hesitation.

The old lady Shang was very puzzled, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Three days is too urgent, let's wait a few more days."

"Of course good things come early." Matchmaker Zhao said with a smile.

When Qin Luochuan accepted the 100 taels of betrothal gift without hesitation, she was shocked for a moment, and then suddenly understood everything.

The pair of merchants go to the mountains to cut firewood every day, and Qin Luochuan lives in the mountains, and the two probably knew each other a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have come to her in such a hurry to propose marriage.At the same time, she understood Qin Luochuan's thoughts. With such a family, the two children would suffer even if they stayed in this house for one more day. If her son fell in love with someone, she would also want to marry him back to her family as soon as possible.

So there was no time for anyone to refute, and he continued: "Then it's settled, I will come with Qin Xiaozi to make an appointment in three days."

Although something went wrong and Shang Qingyue was finally engaged to a different person, the dowry gift of 100 taels of silver remained the same, and Shang Qingyue would not be unwilling to live or die.After thinking about it, Mrs. Shang seemed to be okay, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

They have already made a decision, logically He Feixing should leave knowingly.

But he didn't leave, and sat there calmly, watching Qin Luochuan say goodbye to the merchants, and then left with Qin Luochuan.

From getting up to leaving the yard of the merchant, the two of them did not speak in tacit understanding, and they didn't even meet their eyes.

He Feixing cupped his hands and said, "Sorry, I didn't know he was Brother Qin's favorite."

Qin Luochuan rubbed his nose, "I didn't know that the person you mentioned that day was Qingyue."

After speaking, both of them were a little embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, He Feixing patted Qin Luochuan on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, I still want to congratulate you on your marriage. When you get married, you must notify me to come over for a drink."

The main reason is that this matter is embarrassing, Qin Luochuan has no opinion on He Feixing, because he knows that He Feixing has no other thoughts about Shang Qingyue, he just wants to find someone who can help him in business.

And as for the situation just now, others might not be able to see it, but how could he not know, asking Shang Qingyue what she meant was just pushing people to his side.

He Feixing is so frank, he will be hypocritical if he is awkward, so he also smiled and said: "Success, I will definitely inform you and brother Yang when the time comes."

After the two said goodbye, He Feixing went back to the town, and Qin Luochuan walked to Matchmaker Zhao's house together with Matchmaker Zhao.

Now that the marriage has basically been settled, there is no rush to give the gift of thanks to the matchmaker. When the appointment is made three days later, a gift money will be given to the matchmaker at the same time, and most of the gift money will be reserved for the day of marriage. Serve with gifts for matchmakers.

On the way, Matchmaker Zhao talked to Qin Luochuan about the general specifications of the gifts required for the next engagement. She said that they were all the things that ordinary people in the village must bring when they propose a marriage. It’s a lot of talking, since his parents can ask you for a dowry like this, you don’t have to think about how much dowry you will have, so there is no need to spend too much on other things except for the 100 taels.”

After sighing, she went on to say: "Qingyue is also a child with a hard life, you can save some things, and the two of you can live a good life by yourself in the future."

"Thank you, auntie, for your reminder." Qin Luochuan cupped his hands, "You also said that he is a poor man, so there are certain things that I don't want too many people to know."

Matchmaker Zhao smiled brightly when she heard the words: "Don't worry about that, Auntie's mouth is the best at keeping secrets."

Both of them understood that if they were recognized by the village, he and Shang Qingyue would have known each other a long time ago, and they were afraid that some rumors would spread again.

As long as Matchmaker Zhao doesn't say anything, or if he is interested in Shang Qingyue after seeing her once, then Shang Qingyue will have much less gossip in the village in the future.

After agreeing on a time to meet in three days, Qin Luochuan went home first. After all, although it was just an appointment, there were a lot of things needed, so he had to go back in advance to prepare.

After arriving home, Qin Yan saw that he looked both happy and worried, thinking that the marriage was not finalized, and was a little surprised, but in a blink of an eye, he noticed that Qin Luochuan didn't mention anything in his hand, and the gift he brought to propose marriage was accepted. It worked.

For a moment, I couldn't understand what was going on, so I asked, "Did something happen?"

Qin Luochuan told all about meeting He Feixing, the merchant's offer of 100 taels of betrothal gift, and matchmaker Zhao asking him to give less other gifts.

Qin Yan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and didn't care about the 100 taels of silver, but asked, "What do you think about other gifts?"

"I want to give more other things, cloth, jewelry, ten feet of soft red, I don't want to lose anything, this is what Qingyue should have." Qin Luochuan wants to give him the best for the person he is attracted to. Things, he wanted to do his best to give the other party a lively wedding, but he knew in his heart that Shang Qingyue's family members were like blood-sucking insects, and he didn't feel bad even if these things were given away, but he was not reconciled. .

Qin Yan laughed, Qin Luochuan had always had his own opinions, even though they were father and son, he didn't bother to worry about most things in the family, since Qin Luochuan could do well anyway.

I didn't expect that it was so rare to encounter something that I couldn't choose. It was because I wanted to give the best thing to the person I liked, but I didn't want to take advantage of the other party's excessive relatives.

This made Qin Yan want to laugh, but after being ridiculous, he still adopted his fatherly attitude and said, "Why don't you ask Qingyue for her own opinion?"

"Ask Qingyue for her opinion?"

"Yes," Qin Yan said, "You also said that his family treats him badly. If that's the case, you will definitely continue to let him work before you get married. He has come out to work. You should find a chance to meet him. It's not easy to meet once, and then we can make arrangements based on what he thinks."

Qin Yan asked him to find an opportunity to meet Shang Qingyue, but there was no need to look for this opportunity, because he had just proposed a marriage, and that afternoon the family asked Shang Qingyue to come out to work again.

When the two met again, the relationship was different, and the state of mind was naturally different. Just making eye contact, I felt secretly happy in my heart, and the two of them didn't speak for a while.

After a while, the two spoke at the same time, "You..."

Shang Qingyue: "You speak first."

Qin Luochuan simply omitted other things and went straight to the point, "Do you need to prepare more for other things in the dowry..."

"No need!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shang Qingyue with a cold face, "It is fine to pay according to the standard of ordinary people in the village, and there is no need to add anything."

He even wanted to give nothing but the 100 taels, just because he was afraid that it would damage Qin Luochuan's reputation.

Shang Qingyue said so firmly, Qin Luochuan naturally listened to him, "Okay, then don't add it."

After a pause, he asked again: "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Shang Qingyue hesitated for a moment, her expression became a little shy, and she seemed embarrassed, "If you have 100 taels... I still have some here."

After speaking, he handed out the purse that he had been holding in his hand.

Qin Luochuan was surprised at first, and then laughed dumbly, "Don't worry, the money is enough."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to support the back of Shang Qingyue's hand, wrapped it upwards and at the same time wrapped the purse in Shang Qingyue's palm.He wasn't surprised that Shang Qingyue would have some private money, but he didn't expect that the other party would send it to him.

Although he didn't need it, Shang Qingyue's move shortened the distance between the two in an instant.

Qin Luochuan's hand was released as soon as he lifted it, and the skin to skin contact was only for an instant, but Shang Qingyue's neck turned red.
