The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 11 The betrothal gift made the villagers cry

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Qi Xuan got up without knowing what time it was. He wanted to make some breakfast and find something to do.

He was busy in the kitchen when he heard Aunt Wang's voice, "Hey, my brother, what are you doing?" She stopped Qi Xuan who was kneading dough to make sugar cakes, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Auntie, I really can't sleep. Please let me find something to do. I've already cooked the porridge. Can you help me take it out?"

Knowing that Qi Xuan was nervous because of the special situation today, Aunt Wang didn't say anything more. He could do what he wanted. She took the porridge and brought it out, "Xuan brother, this porridge smells so good."

"I saw some green vegetables and yams, so I added them in."

Aunt Wang brought the porridge to the stone table in the yard and called her disappointing brother Yue, "Look at Xuan, he even knows how to help make breakfast in the morning, but all you do every day is eat and sleep."

Qi Yue listened to his mother's scolding without any reaction. He even smiled and praised the delicious porridge made by Qi Xuan. Aunt Wang sighed that her little brother was so heartless. She just hoped that he could find a family that was easy to get along with in the future.

After dinner, Aunt Wang sent Qi Xuan back to his room to tidy himself up and put on the new clothes she had made for him. Yue Ge'er also helped him tie his hair again and put on a new headband. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Qi Xuan was a little stunned. He had never taken a good look at himself since he traveled through time.

"Hehe, Brother Xiaoxuan, you are so handsome." Yue Ge'er's heartfelt praise made him a little shy. In the past, the original owner was abused by Qi Dazhuang. He didn't have enough to eat every day. He was skinny and small, and naturally not good-looking.

Since becoming Qi Xuan, he has had three meals a day, and sometimes he would secretly go to the space to eat some snacks, which made him gain several pounds. The most important thing is that he is in a good mood.

After getting ready, he heard a commotion outside and knew that Fu Jingyi had arrived. Qi Xuan began to get nervous again, his fingers twisted together, and his face started to burn. He didn't know the customs here, and he didn't know whether he should go out. He felt very uncomfortable in the room. He just felt uncomfortable.

It was even more lively outside. Fu Jingyi had invited the matchmaker to go with him to Aunt Wang's house early on. He had no intention of avoiding people on the way, so the idle aunts in the village followed him all the way. They wanted to join in the fun on the one hand, and also wanted to see what this hunter could bring.

Before they arrived at Aunt Wang's house, the matchmaker started shouting, "Aunt Wang! Great news, great news." The matchmaker was well-known in the surrounding villages. She had a plump figure and a loud voice. When she shouted, people gathered around her. When they saw the things Fu Jingyi brought, their eyes were glued to them and they couldn't take their eyes away.

Looking at Fu Jingyi again, he did not come alone, but called Lin Chen, the grandson of Grandma Lin, to come with him. He drove a bullock cart with a huge wild boar, several wild rabbits and pheasants on it. Lin Chen was holding a tray in his hand, covered with a red cloth, and no one could see what was inside, but it aroused everyone's curiosity.

When people entered the yard, those who wanted to watch the fun didn't want to go in, so they gathered at the door of Aunt Wang's house, craning their necks to look inside, afraid of missing something.

Aunt Wang also told Qi Xuan in advance that he could go out or stay in the house, it didn't matter. Qi Xuan was also curious about what this man would bring, so he went out of the house. When he saw the car full of game, he was stunned. What a big wild boar! He couldn't help but start to wonder, if this is considered a protected animal in modern society, would he go to jail if he ate it?

Seeing that his thoughts were getting out of control, he quickly stopped thinking about it. At this time, the matchmaker continued with a smile on her face, "Aunt Wang, your little brother is very happy. I am entrusted by the young man of the Fu family to propose to your little brother Qi Xuan."

Qi Yue pulled Qi Xuan to look around curiously. This matchmaker had been doing this for most of her life, and she immediately identified the protagonist of the day from the two boys. She smiled and said to Qi Xuan, "Qi Xuan is really a man with bright eyes and a golden complexion. He is a perfect match for the boy from the Fu family."

Qi Xuan also took a look at Fu Jingyi. Unlike his usual short hunting attire, he was wearing a navy blue long gown today, his hair was neatly tied with a headband of the same color, and his figure was handsome. Qi Xuan was completely stunned. He knew that this man was good-looking, but he didn't expect him to be so good-looking.

Seeing that everyone had arrived and the crowd outside was full of people watching, the matchmaker began to loudly read the gift list that Fu Jingyi had brought, "Today, the Fu family brought a cart of betrothal gifts, plus 20 taels of silver, a jade hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets, and a wedding dress."

As the matchmaker spoke, Chen Ge'er took off the red cloth from the tray and showed what was inside. The silence outside the door suddenly exploded. Just looking at the truckload of game was enough to make them jealous. Some families could only eat meat a few times a year, let alone see such a big wild boar.

Seeing the twenty taels of silver and the jade hairpin and silver bracelet, the aunts who once looked down on Fu Jingyi almost vomited blood. Twenty taels! They might not be able to save up twenty taels of silver in their lifetime. Why didn't they notice it before? Those girls and boys who were waiting to get married regretted it so much.

Qi Xuan was very touched. The previous incident of breaking off the relationship had been widely spread, and there were still people who said that he was unfilial. Fu Jingyi brought so many things with him in order to make everyone in the village look up to him.

Chen Ge'er took a few steps forward and handed the tray to Qi Xuan, and he could only hold back his tears and not let them drip on his newly made wedding dress.

After seeing Qi Xuan take the tray, Fu Jingyi took another tray from the ox cart. It was still covered with red cloth. After he opened it, he brought it to Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt, you have taken care of Xuan for so many years. This is for you. Please be sure to accept it."

The matchmaker sang loudly again, "Send five ounces of silver to my parents' home, a silver hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets, and a pair of earrings."

Some people outside the door couldn't stand it any longer, they were going crazy with jealousy, while some just continued to watch the excitement without caring.

Aunt Wang said that she would never accept it. Qi Xuan came over and accepted it for Aunt Wang. "Aunt, I told you that from now on this is my family home. This is what you should take."

Qi Dazhuang was also standing outside watching, his face turning green with anger. He thought that he had emptied his family's wealth by taking another ten taels of silver from the hunter, but who would have thought that the hunter would easily give him another twenty-five taels.

When the people around him saw Qi Dazhuang, they were also pointing fingers at him and talking about him. He couldn't stand it any longer and left in a rage.

Seeing Qi Xuan say this, Aunt Wang accepted the gift and held back her tears, "Xuan'er, I'm going to be generous today. If you are willing, you can call me godmother. From now on, we will be your mother's family." The tears that she had held back for a long time finally flowed down.

"Godmother."

"Good child." Aunt Wang also shed tears.

"Big sister, on such a happy day, let's not cry." The matchmaker consoled her, "Okay, I've finished my matchmaking," she smoothed her hair, which was not messy, "I wish you two a happy marriage and a long-lasting love. Remember to ask me to come to the wedding on the day of the wedding."

Fu Jingyi took out a small red purse from his sleeve and handed it to the matchmaker, "Thank you for your good wishes. The wedding will be held on the second day of next month. You must come to have a glass of wedding wine."

The matchmaker opened the bag, revealing a small silver hairpin and one tael of silver. She smiled more sincerely, this young Fu was a man who could get things done. "Sure, sure." Then she left the Wang family. Lin Chen was worried that her grandmother was alone at home, so she went back first. Before leaving, she gave the embroidered purse to Xuan Ge'er, which had a pair of mandarin ducks on it. Qi Xuan was so happy when she saw it, and told Chen Ge'er that she would see him later, and gave it to Grandma Lin, and then let him leave.

After watching the excitement, the people at the door had all left. Qi Zheng closed the door and left the family alone in the yard to talk.
