Chapter 126 Proposal
The color is tender white, warm and delicate, gorgeous and transparent. At first glance, it is the top grade mutton fat nephrite.
It's worth at least fifty taels of silver.
Xia Zihan was not polite. He took it in his hand and started playing with it. He said with a smile, "I like it very much. Thank you, Uncle Liao."
"Just like it. Next time I go home to play, I will give you other fun things." Mr. Liao laughed and looked very cheerful.
Liao Fangyi looked unhappy, snorted, and said with pout, "Dad is partial, why did you only give gifts to Sister Chu Yu and not me?"
"You little girl, why don't you shave off my things?" Mr. Liao glared at her, and Liao Fangyi's little face turned red, her eyes flashed a few times, and she started to show off, "I don't care, daddy wants to give it to me too." A jade pendant.”
"Okay, okay, when you get home, you can choose my jade pendant."
The tone was full of pampering and love, which made Liao Fangyi's eyes twitch.
Xia Zihan was so jealous that she carefully put the jade pendant into her purse.
In the alley, many female relatives on the carriage got off the carriage. Seeing the Chu family and the Liao family coming close, many people were jealous of Mrs. Liao.
You know, Mrs. Chu has been mourning Mrs. Chu Ge at home for the past three years without seeing anyone. Even if they want to please her, they have no chance.
However, the Liao family quietly became friends with the Chu family.
They scolded Mrs. Liao for being cunning and insidious in their hearts, but they came over to say hello with smiles on their faces, "Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Liao, hello, Mr. Liao."
"Oh, is this the Lord Chuyu County?"
Mrs. Xu, who was wearing a rose-red pleated Ruyi moon skirt, her eyes lit up when she saw Xia Zihan's exquisite and flawless face, "We haven't seen each other for three years. How has County Master Chu Yu grown so big?"
With a faint smile on her lips, Xia Zihan walked over and returned the half-courtesy to the two ladies. Liao Fangyi followed her and returned the full gift. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so beautiful." Mrs. Xu kept praising her, and then looked at Mrs. Zeng, "I wonder if County Master Chuyu can deny the marriage?"
"Her grandfather arranged a marriage for her when he was still alive."
Mrs. Xu was curious and wanted to ask, but she was afraid of being rude.
She laughed a few times and said, "Haha, that's a pity. My natal nephew is three years older than County Lord Chu Yu. He has a jade tree in the wind and looks better than Pan An. Now he has joined the Feiyu team." What kind of position does he have? Never mentioned it.
"My sister-in-law is planning to arrange a marriage for him. No, when I met County Master Chu Yu, I thought about wearing a pair of matchmaking shoes from County Master Chu Yu. But now it seems that my feet are not that lucky." The tone was very disappointing.
Mrs. Xu’s natal family is Qinyang Bofu in the capital, belonging to a third-class noble family. The nephew she is talking about is Xu Meng, the eldest son of the uncle’s son. He is only fourteen years old this year and is already serving as a guard in the Flying Fish Team. He has been from the eighth rank. .
Uncle Qinyang spent thirty thousand taels of silver to buy this position.
In the past few years, as Uncle Qinyang got older, the glory of the uncle's house was gradually fading and almost dimmed. Half of the 30,000 taels of silver was borrowed from Mrs. Xu's personal money.
Mrs. Xu was not too busy with her money. She had saved more than ten thousand taels of silver over the past ten years to buy a dowry for her daughter. After the money was loaned out, she began to worry that her mother-in-law's family would not be able to pay for it. Yin Zi was a little impatient, and wanted to find a wife for his nephew from a wealthy and well-backed family.
Firstly, if my nephew marries a good wife, she will be able to take a shortcut in her official career in the future, so that she can bring honor to Qinyang Uncle's Yaozu. Secondly, she will not have to worry about her mother's family not being able to pay for her money.
Moreover, if there is a rich nephew-in-law, if the family is short of money for something in the future, they will not lend money to her again.
A good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
