Chapter 166 Engagement (Part 2)

Chen Ran is just a piece of sweet pastry, and many people are staring at it to see who will get this sweet pastry. Therefore, the Chen family went to the Han family to propose marriage, and those who followed soon knew about it.

Mrs. Zhou felt a little uncomfortable. She got the news before, but it was not settled at that time. Now that the matchmakers have come to the door, the marriage is a certainty. The candidate she was most optimistic about ended up falling on that girl Yuxi. But she would not show this emotion in front of Zhou Shiya.

Zhou Shiya was very happy when she heard that the Chen family went to the Han family to propose marriage: "Mother, I want to go and see Yuxi. It's such a big happy event, I have to congratulate her on going."

Mrs. Zhou poked Zhou Shiya's forehead, hating iron and steel, and said: "When will you have a heart? If you have half of Han Yuxi's heart, I won't worry about it."

Zhou Shiya muttered, and said: "Mother, what are you talking about? Yuxi has no heart, she is lucky. Not everyone has her luck, and she happened to save the second master of the Chen family."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, what she said is true, not everyone has the luck of that girl: "If you want to go, go and come back early."

Zhou Shiya happily went back to the house to clean up.

Mrs. Zhou was very worried about Zhou Shiya's lack of roots, and said: "Yuxi's marriage is settled, Shiya should also step up." It can't really be delayed until next year.

Mrs. Min said: "Ma'am, why don't you get in touch with the young master of the He family that the master is talking about. Since he can be favored by the master, there must be something special about him."

Mrs. Zhou frowned: "The He family's rank is too low." Then He Yan's father was only a fourth-rank official. Try to guess enough.

After saying this, Mrs. Zhou said again: "I'll ask the master tonight." She didn't worry about the marriage of her two sons. Because of her daughter's marriage, she was really grey-haired.

The marriage has no effect on Yuxi, and every day is still the same as usual. When Zhou Shiya arrived, Yuxi was reading in the study.

Zhou Shiya looked at the thick medical book and shook her head helplessly: "It's a shame you can read it." She wanted to sleep after reading this book.

Yu Xi smiled: "Why are you here?" You should have told me before you came here, but this sudden running over surprised Yu Xi.

Zhou Shiya gave Yuxi a white look, and said: "You have obtained such a good marriage, so I naturally have to hurry over to congratulate you! Strange, why are you not happy at all!"

Yuxi smiled a bit: "I'm happy, how could I be unhappy?" Finally getting rid of the shadow of the previous life, how could I be unhappy!

Zhou Shiya said with contempt: "Why are you happy? Why can't I feel it?" The girl who is going to be engaged is either shy or anxious, but this woman is not shy or anxious. It was as if she wasn't the one who was going to be engaged.

Yuxi put the medical book in her hand back on the shelf, and said, "You come to congratulate me, what about the gift? If your gift can satisfy me, I will be happier."

Zhou Shiya was speechless: "I really admire you. When I get married in the future, you will give me a pair of embroidery. Now you want a gift when you get engaged, and I have to add makeup to you when you get married. You really make money!" If so, she will lose money.

Yuxi couldn't help laughing: "You won't lose money, when the time comes to add makeup, I will buy you other good things besides embroidery."

After chatting and talking, Zhou Shiya talked about Jiang Xin: "Yuxi, I saw Jiang Xin a few days ago. You haven't seen her, she has gained a lot of weight. She also asked me to bring you a message, saying that she also I want to contact you, but her mother refuses."

Yuxi smiled and said: "I don't blame her either. Let's not talk about it. Didn't you say that you have to work hard to learn needlework? The weather is good today,

Do you want me to teach you. "

Zhou Shiya doesn't want Yuxi to teach: "If you have this time, you might as well embroider a fan for me. The third cousin's fan is so beautiful. I have been greedy for a long time, but unfortunately I dare not ask her for it." That fan is really beautiful, if If you have one, you can show it off.

Yuxi smiled and said: "What do you like? I'll embroider for you after spring begins." After the marriage is settled, Yuxi will no longer be so tense, and she will be in the mood to do embroidery.

What a surprise, Zhou Shiya said: "Embroidering orchids, no, embroidering tigers is not good..." After talking a lot, at the end, Zhou Shiya also said that she was confused and didn't know what to do.

Yuxi laughed: "Don't choose, you can use whatever I embroider!" Let Zhou Shiya choose, and it is estimated that she will not be able to choose in three days.

Zhou Shiya smiled and said: "Success, you can make up your mind." Anyway, Yuxi knows what she likes, and the Yuxi she chooses may not be good at it.

It was evening in a blink of an eye. Zhou Shiya was very depressed, and said: "Yuxi, why does time pass so quickly, and I still have a lot to say to you?" The two of them are together, time flies so fast.

If you have something to talk about, the time will naturally pass quickly. Yuxi smiled and said: "Next time, you come to live with me for two days, and when the time comes, I will definitely let you talk enough."

Zhou Shiya pouted: "Forget it. My mother won't let me spend the night at someone else's house." I said many times before that her mother wouldn't let her live in Han's house, and now it's even more impossible.

The marriage went smoothly, and soon came the appointed day. Generally, as much dowry as the man gives, the woman's family has to accompany as much. Therefore, both of them need ventilation before making an order. The Qiu family said boldly, let Taining Houfu decide for themselves, even if they give sixty-four dowries, they can also give the same dowry.

After hearing this, Mrs. Taining Hou gave the bride price forty-eight lifts. Since Mrs. Shizi carried a dowry of one hundred and twenty, Yuxi naturally had less. The dowry of the younger daughter-in-law cannot exceed that of the eldest daughter-in-law.

Qiu didn't keep the betrothal gift either, and asked people to carry the things to Tao Ranju. This time the betrothal gift from Mrs. Taining Hou was very thick. Yuxi was born in the year of Ox. The betrothal gift consisted of twenty-four pairs of golden bulls, sixty-four bolts of silk and satin, among which there were several bolts of brocade. Six pairs of dragon and phoenix red gold bracelets, six pairs of red gold hairpins inlaid with east pearls, seafood of various colors, ginseng medicinal materials, etc.

Yuxi smiled, the Chen family is really rich and powerful. These things cost three to four thousand taels of silver anyway, so the Han family also had to dowry thirty to forty thousand taels of silver. But these will be her dowry in the future, the more the better!

Valuable things such as brocades are put in the warehouse, seafood such as abalone are sent to the kitchen, and medicinal materials are put in the pharmacy. The cakes, melons and fruits were all taken out and distributed to everyone.

Arranging these betrothal gifts will exhaust everyone in Tao Ranju to death. Yuxi said to Qiu Shi: "Mother, there are too few people in Tao Ranju, so we have to re-select people."

Qiu Shi has also been thinking about picking someone for Yuxi, but she has been too busy recently, and has not been able to spare time: "I will send someone in in two days, and then you can choose carefully."

Yuxi's marriage is settled, and a heavy burden has been lifted for the Qiu family: "When Yuxi goes out, I don't have to worry anymore, and I will be my old Fengjun in peace and contentment."

Mother Li said: "Ma'am, what you said is nice, can you really let go of the affairs of the mansion?" The old lady has completely ignored the matter now, and now the Qiu family is really in charge of the family.

Say let go, where can you really let go!

On the second day of the engagement, Yu Rong came over. Since the passing of the Wu family, Yu Rong rarely comes out on weekdays except to pay her respects to the old lady. When Yuxi came back, she only saw her during the New Year banquet.

Wu's departure seemed to make Yurong grow up overnight. At that time, Yuxi remembered very clearly that Yurong didn't even touch the dishes on the dinner table, and all she ate were vegetarian dishes.

Yurong was wearing light blue clothes, she didn't wear any jewelry except the silver hairpin on her head, she looked as simple as a different person.

Yuxi was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Come in and sit, Zisu, make a cup of black tea." The tea Yuxi drinks changes with the seasons. It is winter now, the temperature is low and the cold is heavy, it is advisable to drink black tea.

Yurong said sincerely: "Fourth sister, congratulations." Both Yuchen and Yuxi got such a good marriage, and they don't know what will happen to her in the future.

Yu Xi didn't expect Yu Rong to come this time, she came here specially to congratulate her: "Thank you."

The two have been at loggerheads, so apart from a few polite words, there is nothing to talk about. Yu Rong also just came to congratulate her, and didn't intend to chat with Yu Xi. Congratulations, ready to go.

Yu Xi said: "Don't think too much, take care of your body." It may be the reason why Yu Rong has been a vegetarian and does not eat meat, or it may be that her mood has been greatly affected. Yurong is so skinny now, it makes people worry just looking at it.

Yu Rong nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you, Fourth Sister, for your concern."

After the people left, Zisu said: "The fifth girl seems to have changed." Although the former fifth girl was annoying, she was sunny, but now she is lifeless.

After hearing this, Yuxi looked in the direction of Bitengyuan and said: "After going through such a thing, you will always grow up." Yurong has been taking care of Wu's side all the time, no matter how careless she is, she should be aware of Wu's There is something strange about death. Even if Yurong didn't notice it, it's impossible for Mrs. Chen, who was serving the Wu family, to know nothing. Her mother died young, at least her body couldn't bear her own illness. But what Yu Rong faced was the matter of killing her own mother, which was more cruel than what she faced.

Yuxi actually thought too much. Although Yurong was very sad that Wu's family was gone because of a small wind and cold, she didn't doubt anything. Mrs. Chen was aware of it, but how could she tell Yurong about this and let Yurong bear such a heavy burden for the rest of her life. Therefore, Yurong actually doesn't know anything now.

Zisu thought she was talking about the death of Mrs. Wu: "It's really sudden. The third lady has always been in good health. I didn't expect that she died because of a small wind and cold." Speaking of this, Zisu Su's face said seriously: "Girl, when you get sick in the future, you can't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. You must see a doctor to take medicine, otherwise, a minor illness will become a serious illness." Yuxi contracted a cold, as long as it is not particularly serious, usually It is to drink a bowl of ginger soup, play Wuqinxi a few more times to sweat, and don't want to take medicine.

Yuxi glanced at Zisu, and said: "The medicine is three-point poisonous. It's better to take less medicine if you don't take medicine." Yuxi didn't tell Zisu the real cause of Wu's death, because it was unnecessary. It's better for one less person to know about such a thing. In addition, Zisu thought that men were not reliable because of her father, so if she told her about this, she probably wouldn't marry. (to be continued)
