Chapter 174 Conditions
Qin Ye couldn't bear to refuse his daughter's good marriage proposal.
Although it is said that he married a woman with a low profile and a daughter from a high family, his family was too low-class.
If this is all, in the eyes of outsiders, the daughter is just an adopted daughter, even more inferior.
Qin Ye tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The past is vivid in my mind.
The old wife was pregnant at that time, but she was aborted due to her stepmother's manipulation of the rules.
And that year, he was injured in an accident and could no longer have children.
I didn't have any children, I didn't have a job, so I stayed in the Camp and Repair Department.
The adults shared the money, and he followed behind, drank the leftover soup, and worked conscientiously when he had something to do. He rests when nothing happens and never jumps up and down. The adults above him think that he is honest. He can do his job steadily in the position of the Renovation Department Manager.
But even if he didn't reveal his wealth, he was still an official, and more and more people in the clan were watching him.
Everyone wants to stuff a child over and eat his whole family.
Especially the two younger brothers born to their stepmother, who are close by blood...
Qin Ye turned over again.
He survived the accident that year because the prince passed by and extended his hand.
So Keqing's daughter is not only his daughter, but also the daughter of his benefactor.
In recent years, his family has been called home because of his daughter.
The old wife had been in poor health because of the miscarriage, and was worried that the father and daughter would be devoured by the clan in the future. He also used the connections he had accumulated over the years to carry out Zhong'er's return from the Shantang according to the clan.
At that time, his family had everything they needed, and his old wife left with a smile.
Today...
Qin Ye turned over and sat up again.
Although there is Mrs. Shen in Ningguo Mansion, if she really wants to marry her, her daughter's mother-in-law is also a step-mother-in-law.
Back then, he promised his old wife that he would find a simple home for his daughter.
Even if you are poorer, it will be okay if they help you at all. You must never marry into such a complicated family again.
Ningguo Mansion... No way!
A big tree attracts the wind.
How many people were involved in the prince's case back then.
The heads of the Ning and Rong mansions also died that year, and Jia Jing of the Ningguo mansion was forced to go to a Taoist temple outside the city.
Nothing will happen from now on...
Qin Ye sighed.
He has never thought about setting a high standard for his daughter.
Living in a small household may lead to a harder life, but having a simple meal will keep you safe!
Forget it, refuse it!
Just when I was about to refuse, I was thinking about Jia Rong's civil and military skills.
He also wanted to guess the tiger that day.
And he is very filial.
With Mrs. Shen watching over her, there is little chance of her growing crooked.
Grandma You has no biological children of her own, so all she can rely on is her stepson Brother Rong.
Qin Ye tossed and turned and didn't sleep well all night.
After two days of this, I finally asked for leave and wanted to personally reject the matchmaker who came again, but I didn't expect that the clan leader came over with several clan elders as soon as the door opened early in the morning.
"Qin Ye, you have to accept this marriage for the girl."
It was quite a happy thing, but in the end, this guy's face became more and more sad day by day. They were really worried and had to come over and say something.
After all, this guy often takes off the beaten path.
There are many good children in the clan.
He wanted to take care of the one who didn't have a baby.
Forget it, but they must not let him mess around with the marriage in Ningguo Mansion anymore.
Although the Jia family is now considered in decline, no matter how much it declines, the hairs on their backs will still be thicker than their waists.
"That's right, what else do you want?"
As for their children, they happily agreed.
"Even if you don't think about the clan, you still have to think about yourself and Zhong'er. If you reject the Jia family, the Jia family will lose face. Can they spare you?"
"Yes, Qin Ye, you can't be confused!"
As long as the guards of the Jia family go out, they are all officials.
Although he is a small official, he is still an official, and he is still making noises when walking on the street.
But what about the Qin family members?
Counting Qin Ye, there are only two.
They are all poor officials in the capital who do not distinguish between camps.
In this world, if there is no one above you and you are reluctant to give gifts, then you will always be oppressed by others.
"Ke Qing's marriage, no matter what, we have to accept it."
"...But you are my daughter. I promised her mother back then..."
Bangdang~
The old patriarch threw a cup, "Qin Ye, do you still want to enter the Qin family's ancestral graves?"
Qin Ye: "..."
For a moment, he was speechless.
The old wife is still in the ancestral grave, and he will also enter in the future.
"That's it."
Shocking Qin Ye, the old patriarch made the final decision, "Now let's talk about Keqing's bride price and dowry."
Old Qin's family was poor, and the Ningguo Mansion knew it.
"Waiting for the matchmaker to come over in a while..."
He was about to tell everyone the details, but the matchmaker had already arrived.
In her opinion, this marriage was just bad luck for the Qin family, so there was no way she would not agree to it.
Sure enough, they agreed.
She was about to say congratulations, but didn't want to, Qin Ye waved his hand, "I have one more condition."
"...you said."
Although she is a little surprised, her skills as a matchmaker are still there.
This girl from the Qin family has saved Mrs. Shen before, so as long as the conditions are not too excessive, she will agree to it.
"If you marry me, then you will be the eldest daughter-in-law, right?"
"Yes!"
What's there to doubt about this?
The matchmaker was puzzled.
"I have no ability in my life, and I haven't saved any family fortune for my children."
Qin Ye had to fight for something for his daughter, "But if you marry into the Jia family, then her future sisters-in-law will probably be higher than her in status."
How could the prince's biological daughter be compared to others?
"Their dowries will definitely be larger than hers."
Qin Ye was afraid of further opposition from the clan, so he spoke faster: "But my daughter, I don't want her to be compared with others, so in terms of betrothal gifts, I hope that the Jia family can buy a betrothal gift of ten thousand taels of silver. I, Qin Ye, will buy these betrothal gifts." If you don't take a penny, it will be included in your daughter's dowry
Please run an errand and ask first. If you agree, the marriage will be a done deal. If you don’t agree..."
"Let's discuss it again!"
The elder of the Qin family was afraid that Qin Ye would immediately fool him about the marriage, so he hurriedly added.
"This..."
The matchmaker didn't expect this family to be so caring.
Purchase a betrothal gift of ten thousand taels of silver...
She has never encountered anything like this since she has been a matchmaker.
She looked at Qin Ye, then at the rest of the Qin family. Before she could say anything, the patriarch spoke again, "By the way, for such an important matter, we have to ask Keqing what you mean."
The matchmakers hesitated. On the Jia family's side... the patriarch didn't dare to have hope.
So let Keqing object to this condition!
"Grandpa Patriarch, there is no need to ask, I listen to my father."
Qin Keqing's voice came from the back room, "Mother Hu, please go to Jia's house."
She not only heard but also felt her father's protectiveness over her.
The Jia family agreed that she must be a good daughter-in-law, honor her grandmother and parents-in-law, and take care of the family.
If you don’t agree... then let’s talk about the disagreement.
Even if she has regrets, she is still willing to listen to her father.
"Sure, I'll ask right away."
Matchmaker Hu walked quickly.
In the past two days, she didn't know how many people had asked her about the marriage of Jia and Qin. I don’t say that everyone stuffs themselves with benefits, but most of them are generous.
Really speaking, it was enough for her to buy several acres of land on the outskirts of the city.
Matchmaker Hu knew very well that among those who came to inquire, nine out of ten hoped that the marriage between the two families would fail.
It really doesn't work...
There will definitely be many people asking her.
So, it didn't take long for Shen Ning to see the matchmaker who followed Youshi.
A betrothal gift of ten thousand taels of silver...
Hiss~
Xifu Yingchun, Baoyu and the others only had three thousand taels of silver for their marriage.
Brother Rong is a nephew...
"Is this what Mr. Qin mentioned?"
Shen Ning was curious.
"Yes!"
Matchmaker Hu hurriedly repeated what she said in front of Youshi, "...Finally, the head of the Qin family asked Miss Qin for her opinion. Miss Qin said that she listened to her father."
If this girl marries home, she will probably move her husband's things to her parents' house in the future.
If it were an ordinary person, Matchmaker Hu would definitely give him some advice.
But for these two families..., she decided to just be the one running errands and delivering messages.
"Youshi, this is your wife, what do you think?"
Shen Ning ignored the matchmaker and asked about Youshi.
"I listen to my mother."
Youshi smiled.
"Don't just listen to me! I listen to you now."
It's just giving a piece of property in advance.
She gave it to Youshi, not to mention Qin Keqing.
Shen Ning had already discussed with Jia Zhen privately, and when she got married, the property that the royal family rewarded that day would be transferred to her name.
The eldest daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law, is tied up and has no belongings with her. That is definitely not possible.
So Shen Ning also planned to give Qin Keqing the Zhuangzi that her mother-in-law had given her back then.
But Youshi is the head grandmother, and Qin Keqing is her daughter-in-law in name. Shen Ning must protect her dignity first at all times.
"Listen to me, then give it!"
Youshi smiled, "Keqing is a good child. She is going to be the eldest daughter-in-law of our Jia family. Of course she cannot be looked down upon by others." At this point, her smile intensified, "Don't say she was married in. , even if you marry into someone else’s family, our family will give you the dowry.”
The Supreme Emperor also rewarded Qin Keqing with many things that day.
Even if there is no reward... just because she saved her mother-in-law's life, it would be nothing for the Jia family to give her a dowry.
You married into a wealthy family and knew the pain of not having a dowry.
This big house is really completely different whether it has money or not.
With the property given by her mother-in-law and the booming business of the roast duck restaurant she cooperates with, Youshi really doesn't care about the little face she makes for her daughter-in-law.
"In this way, when the father-in-law gives out the betrothal gift requested by the Qin family, I will personally give her eight hundred taels of silver as a back-up gift."
"You offer eight hundred taels?"
Shen Ning blinked, "What do you mean? Do you want me, my mother-in-law, to provide your wife with more bargains?"
"Haha!"
Youshi was amused, "Look what you said, isn't my wife your granddaughter-in-law? Mother, just tell me, how much will you give me?"
Matchmaker Hu: "..."
Even though he was well-informed, he was stunned by the coquettish actions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
In all my years of working as a matchmaker, I have never encountered anything like this.
No, there are not many like this in the whole world.
Even if the kind person wants to show face to his wife, he should give more as a betrothal gift, which can be a few hundred or even a thousand taels.
It's not a fight or a quarrel. The betrothal gift of ten thousand taels of silver is not counted at once, but another box of silver is also required?
Does the sun come out from the east today?
Or was the way she came in wrong?
Or is she dreaming?
Matchmaker Hu's eyes turned between Shen Ning and the sunshine outside, and then she heard someone say: "Then I'll give you one thousand two hundred taels! Let's make it up."
After coming out of Ningguo Mansion, she was still in a daze.
What seemed impossible at first was finally accomplished?
"Quick, go to Qin's house."
Sitting on the carriage, she secretly pinched her thigh.
Oops~
It's true.
Matchmaker Hu quickly rubbed herself.
No wonder everyone is staring at Ningguo Mansion.
Look how well the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along.
Now if anyone tells her that Grandma You is a petty person, she will definitely spit on him.
Although she is a step-mother-in-law, she is an extremely good mother-in-law just because she generously gives her so much.
Don't talk about bringing the betrothal gift back to Jia's family.
Since it is recorded as dowry, it is Qin's private property.
Private property and public property are completely different things!
When she went to announce the good news to the Qin family with a smile on her face, all the Qin family members were also shocked.
Is this true?
Several old men exchanged looks with each other.
When Qin Ye saw it, he knew that they were planning his daughter's things again.
He hurriedly said: "The Jia family has great justice!"
The old man cupped his hands in the direction of the Jia family, "Then I'll trouble you, Matchmaker Hu, to include all the betrothal gifts in the dowry and record it in the record."
"Natural!"
Matchmaker Hu is also well-informed.
He nodded quickly and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have done such a matchmaking in my life, so I will record it on my record."
From then on, she was considered the number one in the matchmaking world.
Matchmaker Hu wishes she could spread it to the whole world.
She had a wide network of contacts, and the marriage between the Jia and Qin families was already attracting attention. Within a short time, teahouses, restaurants and other well-informed places in the capital were all talking about this strange incident.
Ten thousand taels of silver.
How much dowry will this cost?
It's enough to marry into a prince's palace.
The Jia family is so generous.
No, the Jia family is really good to their daughter-in-law.
That's not right, it's because Ning Guofu is too kind to his daughter-in-law.
Thinking about Jia Jing being searched out by the Shen family and having to make a living by picking up excrement, many people felt extremely complicated.
This woman is in charge...
Many people want to say no.
But when the words came to my lips, thinking about my daughter, I could only swallow them.
Every family has long been optimistic about Brother Rong, but they couldn't grab his wife as son-in-law. They wish they were beating their chests and feet.
If I had known about the lantern festival that day, I would have taken my daughter there anyway!
It's hateful that the adopted daughter of a fifth-grade official was so cheaply paid for nothing.
They were sad and regretful at home, but they didn't know that at this time in Shoukang Palace, after listening to the secret guard's report, the Supreme Emperor sat there and said nothing for a long time.
It wasn't until the secret guard who reported the report quietly raised his head that the Supreme Emperor raised his hand, "You've done a good job. Please keep an eye on the Qin family."
Now the granddaughter is also noticed.
The old man was afraid that others would secretly attack his granddaughter because of Jia Rong.
"When they get married, the job will be done."
The Supreme Emperor was very moved.
Sure enough, it was the Jia family that had to win his heart.
Look how openly this is done.
His prince...
The Supreme Emperor couldn't help but get up and walk around the room a few times to calm down.
The prince can rest assured.
He has always liked the Jia family.
Now his daughter has married into the Jia family.
With Mr. Shen here, this life will be peaceful and smooth.
No one will bully her again.
