Chapter 354 Proposal
It was Dongfang Yun who introduced her to the manager of the Dongfang family, and she purchased goods from the people of the Dongfang family, so she got to know Dongfang Yi.
After Dongfang Yi fell in love with her at first sight, he told Qi Lan that he wanted to marry her sister.
Qi Lan was more naughty, so she told him that he would marry Qi Mei unless her master agreed.
No, after seeing Xia Zihan, Dongfang Yi was thinking about how to get her to open her mouth and agree to his marriage to Qi Mei.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zihan agreed before he said anything.
Dongfang Yi was just like a cat that had stolen some food, smiling proudly.
Qi Mei rolled her eyes and looked down upon them, "Please, is it me you are talking about? Can you not ignore me?"
"Haha...Sister Qi Mei, aren't I happy for you? Look, you are already twenty. You are not in a hurry, but I look anxious. After all, you are mine too. I don't want others to say that I The person is an old girl who cannot get married.”
"Just because Dongfang Yi is sincere and affectionate, you agreed to her, right?"
After Xia Zihan persuaded her, Qi Mei's cheeks turned red, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, "Am I yours or is he yours? Why do you speak specifically for him?"
"Haha." Xia Zihan laughed happily, then winked at Qi Mei and said jokingly, "Sister Qi Mei, what's wrong, are you shy?"
Qi Mei glared at her, stamped her feet, and left without even eating dinner.
Dongfang Yi quickly followed up and waved to Xia Zihan, "Thank you. From now on, your people will definitely get the lowest price when purchasing goods from Dongfang's shop."
When Xia Zihan saw the two of them walking away, a bright smile filled his face.
In fact, she had already seen that Qi Mei was attracted to Dongfang Yi. Otherwise, with Qi Mei's arrogant temperament, she would not have easily let Dongfang Yi come to the Chu family, let alone bring Dongfang Yi to her at will. Come in front.
She could probably guess some of Qi Mei's thoughts.
Qi Mei likes Dongfang Yi, but she doesn't dare to have him.
Dongfang Yi is the eldest young master of the Dongfang family, and Qi Mei, although she is a big shopkeeper in charge of one side, but in the end, she is still a little maid.
The maid's status is low and humble. Even if the Dongfang family is a martial arts family and is not as particular as the noble family, the Dongfang family may not be willing for Dongfang Yi to marry a little maid.
Qi Mei felt timid in her heart.
She wanted to accept Dongfang Yi, but was afraid that she was not qualified to marry Dongfang Yi, so he brought someone to her and asked her to make an idea for her.
And she just pushed the boat along and followed Qi Mei's thoughts.
As for identity...
She never regarded sisters Qi Mei and Qi Lan as maids.
However, what do people from the Dongfang family think of Qi Mei?
Xia Zihan fell into deep thought.
The next day, Dongfang Yi really sent an official media to propose marriage. Even he himself came, so Xia Zihan quickly notified Master Qi to come over.
The Dongfang family has great power in the world of martial arts and is famous far and wide. It is one of the seven great families in the martial arts world. Everyone who walks around in the world of making a living knows that Master Qi has been running a business for more than 20 years. The Escort Bureau has naturally heard of the Dongfang family, and even had the honor of meeting Dongfang Yi's father once.
Before he got married, he once took a escort and met a robber halfway. Dongfang Ming happened to be passing by. Not only did he save a dozen people from the Qi family, but he also helped them keep the escort.
As soon as Master Qi saw Dongfang Yi, he even said a few similar words, "You are very similar to your father. I met him once when he was young."
Dongfang Yi's father, Dongfang Ming, became famous as a young man when he was traveling in the world. He was called the "Flawless Young Master" by people in the world.
As for Dongfang Yi, he entered the world at the age of thirteen and became famous as a chivalrous man at the age of fifteen, and was called the 'Jade-faced Man'.
In those years, Qi Mei searched for various secrets in the world, and Dongfang Yi came forward to help get most of them.
Master Qi was very satisfied with the Dongfang family, especially when he saw Dongfang Yi's jade-like face, he was even more satisfied.
He felt that his precious daughter was so smart, shrewd, and beautiful that she deserved to be matched with such a talented and powerful young warrior.
Looking at Master Qi's cheerful and happy expression, he seemed to wish that Qi Mei could marry Dongfang Yi tonight.
Xia Zihan pursed her lips and smiled, "Master Qi, Sister Qi Mei and Sister Qi Lan are not young anymore. How about we arrange their marriages together?"
"The county chief means that the two sisters will get married on the same day?" Master Qi was stunned.
He really hadn't thought about this.
But think about it.
My daughter is not young anymore. If she delays it any longer, it will become a joke. Let’s get married as soon as possible.
Seeing Xia Zihan nod, Master Qi patted his thigh and banged the hammer, "Okay, I agree." Then, he looked at Dongfang Yi.
Dongfang Yi smiled like a fox, "My father-in-law agreed, so my son-in-law has no problem."
Well, I haven’t even changed my girdle yet, so I’m in a hurry to call my father-in-law.
However, Master Qi really enjoyed his mouthful of ecstasy soup. Seeing that he was so confused by Dongfang Yi after just a few words, he felt dizzy and agreed to everything.
After Dongfang Yi took the matchmaker to leave, Master Qi slapped his thigh like a person who had just woken up, "Oh no, why did I just agree to do it in a month?"
This month, there is no time to prepare for the marriage of one daughter, how can there be time to prepare for the marriage of two daughters? Master Qi, that’s a regret.
Dongfang Yi said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival of reunion, and he wanted to marry a wife and go home before the Mid-Autumn Festival to have a reunion festival.
He couldn't bear it for a moment, so he nodded in agreement.
He also said thoughtfully, "The Dongfang family's farmhouse is in Longxi, which is far away from the capital. It takes two months by carriage from the capital to Longxi."
Then, he silently calculated in his mind for some time, and then announced the day when he would come to the capital to pick up the bride, and it was set on June 6th.
June 6th, there is still a month and a half left.
Where do you have enough time to prepare?
Master Qi, that’s a regret.
But the matchmaker is gone, so even if he regrets it, he can't change it.
The Dongfang family is no easier to talk to than the Zheng family, and the things he has decided can be changed at will.
Just when Master Qi was anxious, Xia Zihan spoke, "Master Qi, there are Cuiyu Pavilion and Yusha Pavilion here. You don't have to worry about not being able to make their embroidery. As for the dowry household utensils, these years , I have saved some for them, but there is still a little to go, we have enough time to prepare this month.”
"Thank you, County Master. I have prepared a dowry for each of them, but... the Dongfang family is not an ordinary family. If Qi Mei's dowry is less, I'm afraid..."
Xia Zihan understood Master Qi's unspoken words.
Master Qi was worried that Qi Mei’s mother-in-law would look down upon her when she arrived at her husband’s house because she was short of dowry.
You must know that whether a woman can stand up in her husband's family depends on the power of her mother's family and the generous dowry. Of course, for a martial arts family, it also depends on whether the woman's martial arts skills are high or not.
Qi Mei’s natal family......
To be honest, without the Chu family, the Qi family is nothing.
Master Qi understands this, Qi Mei understands, and Xia Zihan also understands this. But even if they rely on the Chu family, the Jianghu power, the imperial power, and the two individuals have never been on the same side. Even if Qi Mei has the support of the Chu family , I'm afraid it won't stand up to the Dongfang family.
Therefore, it can be ignored.
Qi Mei's martial arts is quite good, which should be able to stand up to the Oriental family.
On the other hand, it depends on Qi Mei's dowry.
Master Qi is worried that Qi Mei will be looked down upon by people from the Oriental family because her dowry is too small.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "Master Qi, I prepared a dowry for Qi Mei and Qi Lan early, which is more than that for girls from ordinary wealthy families. Master Qi, don't worry."
Qi Mei and Qi Lan helped her for five years. It can be said that she was able to open a shop and earn money because of Qi Mei and Qi Lan's dedicated help. Now, when they want to get married, she will only give them a generous dowry.
She began to prepare for this after moving to the capital.
Besides, over the years, she has given Qi Mei and Qi Lan a lot of share, which is enough for the two of them to feed and drink for a lifetime without doing anything.
After Master Qi left, Xia Zihan replaced Cui's mother and told her, "You and Aunt Yu go to the warehouse to count the dowries I have prepared for them, pick out two pieces, and make a list for me to see."
"Yes, County Lord." Cui's mother bowed, and she and Aunt Yu went to pick out the dowry.
As Xia Zihan accumulated more and more things, Xia Zihan now has four warehouses.
One contains the dowry her mother left for her, and the other contains the dowry she left for herself, which contains valuable and rare jewelry, clothes, antique utensils, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists and other items.
There are two left, one contains the daily supplies and utensils in her yard, and the other is a dowry she has saved specially for her maids.
There are also many valuables, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, jade and other things inside.
In the afternoon, Aunt Yu and Mother Cui brought two long lists filled with utensils to show her.
The items written on the two lists are different, but the quantities are the same.
"For each piece, I selected ten calligraphy and paintings, thirty pieces of antiques, four sets of tea sets and dishes, one set of chicken wing wood furniture, three sets of jewelry, and twelve sets of wedding quilts..."
Lili lala, after all that, it took a while for tea, and only then did Mother Cui and Aunt Yu finish reporting the above things.
Xia Zihan looked at it and still felt that it was missing something.
She heard from Qi Lan that the status of the Dongfang family in the world was no less than that of noble families such as the Marquis and Duke's Mansion in the imperial court, and the dowry she prepared for Qi Mei and Qi Lan was filled with household utensils and no Zhuangzi shop. Things like the house that can make money.
Regardless of whether it comes from a distinguished family or a martial arts family, if a new wife is left with no promising Zhuangzi shop, she will definitely be laughed at and looked down upon.
Xia Zihan thought for a while, then called Qi Mei and Qi Lan and asked them, "I want to buy two shops and two villages for each of you to make dowries. Where do you want to place them? Tell me, and I will ask the head of the farm... …”
It seems that Gianzhuangtou has no time for a while.
She changed her mind again, "I'll let He Donglin make the preparations."
