A strong farm girl is busy getting rich
Chapter 51 Preparations before Proposing Marriage
It was rare for Shen Qingfeng to see his father happy about his affairs, and he felt a lot better.
But Shen Dakuan soon frowned again and sighed.
Shen Qingfeng's heart, which had just relaxed, was lifted up again, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Dad? Is there something wrong?"
Shen Dakuan said: "But our family hasn't saved much money, I'm afraid we can't afford much of a betrothal gift!"
Shen Qingfeng had never thought about taking money from his family, so it was good enough that Shen Dakuan came forward!
He said, "Dad, don't worry about this. I'll figure it out myself."
Shen Da breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good!
Wait a minute, go tell the shopkeeper that we are going home now."
Shen Dakuan came out not long after he went in, and the shopkeeper also came out with him and congratulated the father and son.
Shen Dakuan and Shen Qingfeng arrived at the entrance of the town and just caught up with an ox cart returning to the village. The father and son then rode the cart back home.
Xu Guihua was puzzled. Didn't Shen Qingfeng come back yesterday? Why did he come back again today, and with Shen Dakuan?
However, because Shen Qingfeng had just sent the money back yesterday, Xu Guihua looked pretty good.
She asked, "You two came back together today, is there something going on?"
Shen Dakuan said: "It's something, or it's a good thing! Do you know that Landlord Liu has agreed to marry his daughter to our Qingfeng!
Get ready, let's go to the Liu family to propose marriage tomorrow!"
"What?"
Xu Guihua was a little shocked. How could a wealthy family like the Liu family agree to marry their daughter to Shen Qingfeng?
"Her father, are you telling the truth?"
Shen Dakuan said, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about something like this? Qingfeng has even found a matchmaker. We can just go there tomorrow!"
Xu Guihua had a complicated expression and murmured, "His father, but we don't have any money, what can we use to propose marriage?"
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Shen Qingfeng's face. The issues that these two people were concerned about were exactly the same!
However, he quickly calmed down and said, "Mom, don't worry about the betrothal gift. Shuyao and I have already discussed it. You just need to go there."
"Oh, really? That's great! Our Qingfeng is really capable!"
Xu Guihua said nice things, but she felt very jealous! I don't know what kind of shit luck Shen Qingfeng had to marry the daughter of the landlord Liu!
In order to avoid any trouble, Shen Qingfeng did not mention to anyone that the Liu family wanted 200 taels of silver as a betrothal gift. He had already told the matchmaker to give the silver note directly to the Liu family.
When the dust settles tomorrow, Shen Dakuan and Xu Guihua will naturally know about this matter. By then, no matter what ideas they have, it will be useless!
After the matter was settled, Shen Qingfeng and Shen Dakuan agreed on the time to go to Liu's house tomorrow, and then hurried back to town.
Shen Jiao and Gao Xiuwen returned to the village at noon.
In the end, Shen Jiao did not buy clothes for herself, but spent ninety cents to buy a dress for Gao Xiuwen's mother.
Gao Xiuwen originally had some opinions about Shen Jiao, but when Shen Jiao did this, the unhappiness in Gao Xiuwen's heart immediately disappeared!
Shen Jiao followed Gao Xiuwen to Gao's house, but Gao Xiuwen's mother, Zhang, still had a lukewarm attitude.
She wasn't very happy when she saw the clothes Shen Jiao bought for her.
Shen Jiao was so angry that she cursed Zhang a thousand times in her heart, but she still looked respectful on the surface.
When it was dark, Gao Xiuwen sent Shen Jiao back.
Standing at the gate of the Shen family, Gao Xiuwen said, "It's too late today, I won't go in. I'll come to see you next time I have a day off."
Shen Jiao thought about what happened in the jewelry store today, and finally couldn't help but said, "Brother Xiu Wen, tell me, where did Shen Qingqian get so much money?
I heard that she and Shen Qinglan have been living in the town for some time. I wonder if they have found some rich man?
They have always lived in the village and have never seen the world. I am really worried that they will be cheated by those shady men outside for money..."
"Jiaojiao!"
Gao Xiuwen interrupted her. The little bit of sympathy he had for Shen Jiao disappeared after hearing her deliberately slanderous words.
"I'm going back!"
Gao Xiuwen finally swallowed what he was about to say, turned around and left.
Shen Jiao stood there in a daze, not understanding why Gao Xiuwen was fine just now and left as soon as she mentioned Shen Qingqian?
Could it be that he also thought that Shen Qingqian's money might have come from illegal sources and was angry?
So, Gao Xiuwen still cares about Shen Qingqian?
Thinking of this, Shen Jiao felt jealous.
She looked at Gao Xiuwen's receding back, twisting the handkerchief in her hand tightly. In addition to the hatred towards Shen Qingqian in her heart, she was thinking that she must take down Gao Xiuwen as soon as possible!
The next day, the three sisters of the Shen family got up early.
People feel refreshed when they are happy. Shen Qingfeng looked particularly refreshed.
Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan dressed him up again, and he looked even more energetic! He looked like a noble son from a wealthy family!
Shen Qingfeng loaded the prepared gifts onto the carriage, and then the matchmaker arrived.
"Oh, Master Shen is so handsome today! The girl who was proposed to him must have been blessed in her previous life to be able to marry such a good young man!"
The matchmaker was beaming with joy and started praising Shen Qingfeng when she saw him.
Shen Qingfeng knew that the matchmaker's words were flattering, but he still handed over a piece of silver and said, "I'll trouble you with today's matter."
Shen Qingfeng knew that if Madam Liu intended to make things difficult when proposing marriage today, the matchmaker would have to step in.
The matchmaker took the silver and smiled even more brightly. She secretly praised Shen Qingfeng for being sensible. No wonder he was able to marry a girl from a wealthy family!
"Don't worry, Master Shen. I, Wu Matchmaker, will be there to help you. I can do the job of two people. Just wait and see!"
Everything was ready, Shen Qingfeng drove the carriage, took the matchmaker with him, and set off.
Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan watched them leave, feeling a little excited.
Shen Qingfeng arrived at Shenjia Village in a very high-profile manner. Shen Dakuan and Xu Guihua were already waiting at the entrance of the village.
Shen Qingfeng was very surprised by their performance. He didn't expect that not only did they not fall behind, but they also cooperated so well!
In fact, who wouldn't be happy to marry the daughter of a landlord without spending a penny? Who wouldn't want to marry into a wealthy family?
When we arrived at the Liu family’s gate, quite a few villagers had already gathered there.
The villagers heard Shen Dakuan and Xu Guihua say early in the morning that they were coming to the Liu family to propose marriage, so they all came to watch the fun.
The things on Shen Qingfeng's ox cart were all covered with red cloth, and people couldn't see clearly what was inside. So they all started talking about what kind of betrothal gifts Shen Qingfeng had brought!
Even Shen Dakuan and Xu Guihua became a little curious.
Landlord Liu walked out of the yard, bowed to the villagers, and warmly welcomed the Shen family in.
