Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

[Author's words: The mushroom picking project has come to a temporary end. I finally have time to make up for the words I owed before. If you can't follow the plot, you can start from the first eight chapters. I have completed the first eight chapters.

Hard!】

Look at the two of them who are about to open their mouths to refute.

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly took over the conversation.

"Stop talking. This is my order. You cannot refuse it. Just carry it out. An elder's gift cannot be refused."

The two of them had no choice but to shut their mouths.

"Thank you, mother. Being your daughter-in-law in this life is the blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes."

"Yes, it is my blessing that I have accumulated in several lifetimes to have a good mother-in-law like you."

"Then I am also very lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law like you, who is diligent, smart, and filial. I like you very much."

Zhao Yuanzhen also pushed the horse back.

The two daughters-in-law felt a little embarrassed. Mother was too talkative.

Zhao Yuanzhen saw that there was nothing to do and the ten things needed for proposing marriage were almost prepared, so she asked the two of them to go back to her yard to clean up the warehouse.

After all, the betrothal gift she had to give to Fan Qingqiu was quite a lot.

Zhao Yuanzhen packed the ten prepared items in exquisite boxes and planned to send them to the general's mansion tomorrow.

The next step is to prepare the betrothal gifts.

First is the bride price.

Zhao Yuanzhen planned to give 100 million taels of silver and taels of gold.

There are 180 pairs of auspicious dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, and each pair is made of three taels of gold.

One hundred and eighty pairs of pure gold tigers, each weighing three taels. Fan Qingqiu was born in the year of the pig.

Qian Xiaohui is also born in the year of the tiger, and there are 1,810 pairs of golden tigers.

Li Zhijuan was born in the year of the horse, and there were 3 pairs of golden horses, each worth three taels of gold.

There were eighty-eight pieces of various famous fabrics in various colors and styles.

There are eighty-eight pairs of each of the golden crosses, step-shaking ornaments, etc.

Each person will receive 9 sets of gold thread ready-made clothing.

Fur coats and cloaks, all made of fine fur, nine pieces per person.

Boots of good leather, nine pairs per person.

There were 18 large boxes of jewellery of various styles, including tiaras, small hairpins, combs, side hairpins, back presses, necklaces, waist chains, belts, bracelets, earrings, anklets, etc.

A set of eighteen gemstone headpieces in various colors, one set for each color.

Including ruby, emerald, sapphire, jet sapphire, topaz, amethyst and so on.

A complete set of eighteen pearl head ornaments.

A complete set of eighteen imperial green glass headpieces.

A large phoenix coronet and bridal robe made of pure gold, and a golden round fan.

Various jade ornaments, valuable calligraphy and paintings, and 99 pieces of rare antiques.

A red veil with gold thread.

In addition, there are all kinds of excellent seafood, tea, fruits, etc.

These plus the boxes can probably hold more than 300 pieces.

Zhao Yuanzhen plans to collect 360 units.

It means long lasting.

All items are in triplicate.

Except for the different calligraphy and painting ornaments, everything else is basically the same.

It can be said that this is taking the water-keeping approach to the extreme.

The master of masters.

These betrothal gifts were made of gold. Zhao Yuanzhen and the system provided the gold and had someone make them custom-made.

Even so, there is nothing but gold money.

After paying for the three betrothal gifts, Zhao Yuanzhen spent almost 3000 million points.

It translates to more than 10 million taels of silver.

This is only because Zhao Yuanzhen is rich, otherwise, even if an ordinary family were to take into account their entire assets, they probably wouldn’t have so much money!

These betrothal gifts are unique in the entire Daliang Dynasty!

Unprecedented and unprecedented.

Who knew that Zhao Yuanzhen actually got three copies.

This period of engagement is more than enough to ask for the princess' hand in marriage.

Zhao Yuanzhen first sent the ten items for proposing marriage to Yue Hongmian.

As for the remaining betrothal gifts, many of the custom-made ones have not been completed yet, such as the solid gold zodiac sign, so we have to wait.

It is estimated that it will take a few more days to complete the preparation of the betrothal gifts.

Yue Hongmian looked at the marriage proposal items sent by Zhao Yuanzhen. They were similar to the ones she had sent at that time, and the character and quality were also excellent.

Maybe the marriage proposal gift I gave at that time was prepared by Zhao Yuanzhen.

I have to say, the truth about Yue Hongmian has been revealed.

Yue Hongmian brought people and gifts to the old tutor's house to propose marriage.

Along the way, Yue Hongmian did not hide herself and was very open and generous.

Anyway, this matter is a done deal.

This will also make the matchmakers who go to the old tutor's house every day keep quiet.

Sure enough, when everyone saw Yue Hongmian's scene, they knew that she was going to propose marriage, and they all followed her curiously to see which family the general's wife was proposing marriage to!

I followed him all the way and found that we had arrived at the old tutor's house.

It seems that the third young lady is the only one in the mansion who has not been engaged.

Which man did the general's wife ask to be the third lady?

A brave man asked the accompanying servant.

"Young man, is this general's wife proposing marriage to the third young lady of the old master's family?"

"yes!"

"May I ask, young man, which young master are you proposing for?"

"He is the third son of our eldest lady."

After the servant answered, he quickly followed and carried the gifts.

Miss?

The third son?

"Is there a young lady in the general's mansion?"

"No, isn't it just a newborn son?"

"Yes, I remember that little boy was less than ten years old."

"Yeah, I remember that too."

"Oh, you idiots, isn't the eldest daughter of the general's mansion Madam Zhang?"

"Which Madam Zhang?"

"She is General Zhao's sister. The one who joined Zhangjia Village."

"Never heard of it!"

"Yeah, I haven't heard of it either."

"No way, you haven't even heard of Madam Zhang?"

"What's wrong? Is Mrs. Zhang's husband's family very powerful?"

"No, Madam Zhang's husband is dead, and the one who is powerful is not her husband, but Madam Zhang."

"Why is she so great?"

"Yup!"

"Don't you know that all the Zhang grocery stores, dessert stores, billiard halls, storytelling stores, wine shops, bathroom stores, beverage stores, etc. in the capital are owned by Madam Zhang?"

"What!! You said that Zhang something is General Zhao's sister, Madam Zhang!"

"Yes, the third son of Miss Zhao is the one who is being proposed to this time. That is Zhang Xinshu, the fifteen-year-old young scholar who was the last disciple of the old master, and now the youngest minister! The third lady and the third son are also a perfect match, a perfect couple!"

Others began to realize.

"I know that Zhang Xinshu. He was the top scholar among young scholars. He was quite a sensation at the time!"

"Yes, yes, I knew that too. I didn't expect that he was Miss Zhao's son."

"Yes!"

The onlookers were discussing it heatedly.

What a match made in heaven, a marriage between a talented man and a beautiful woman!

Besides, Miss Zhao is really awesome!

He alone led the entire Zhang family.

If you pick any of those shops, you can live a carefree life for the rest of your life.

What's more, there are countless shops like Zhang's that make a fortune every day.

I heard that in addition to the capital, the Zhang family also has businesses in the Yellow River, Yanshan Prefecture, and Yangzhou Prefecture.

Moreover, the industries are all very large and they are making a lot of money every day.

I have to sigh again.

Miss Zhao is so awesome!

I want to be Miss Zhao’s daughter-in-law one day.

"I remember that the third young master of the Zhang family was the disciple of the old master, wasn't he?"

"Yes, and he is still a closed disciple."

"Ah! This... isn't that a generation gap?"

The third young lady should call the third young master "Little Master Uncle".

"Now that you mention it...it seems so!"

"It seems a bit out of date."

The whispers of these people still reached everyone's ears.

Everyone's eyes were a little subtle.

Yue Hongmian brought gifts for marriage proposal and her men into the old tutor's residence.

Everything was communicated via letters in advance, and the mansion had also made preparations for the reception early on.

The ten items for proposing marriage were slowly reported, especially seafood and hair algae.

Even the knowledgeable old tutor was surprised.

This... This is not a tribute!

This is too big.

Yue Hongmian brought everything needed for the engagement.

The two families were also happily discussing what to do next.

"Madam, as you know, my nephew is 22 years old this year. We want to marry him off as soon as possible. Do you think we should start the ceremony in two days?"

Yue Hongmian wanted to complete the three books and six ceremonies quickly so that the couple could get married early.

In this way, my sister has accomplished a major event in her life.

The old tutor glanced at the others calmly and found that no one had any objections.

"Okay, Xin Shu has grown up under our care, and now he is indeed not young anymore, so let's start the ceremony."

Generally speaking, men get married at the age of 16. Zhang Xinshu is already years old, which is not a young age. It is completely understandable that the Zhang family is a little anxious.

"Okay, then I will come here with my little sister to propose in three days."

"Ok!"

Yue Hongmian chatted with the old lady and the others for a while, then said goodbye and left.

I have to go back and tell Zhao Yuanzhen to prepare the betrothal gifts.

But from what my younger sister said yesterday, it seemed that the betrothal gifts were almost ready, otherwise I wouldn't have said that I would go to the old tutor's house to pay my respects in three days.

"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard. Come and have some tea."

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly poured the tea and handed it to Yue Hongmian.

"Little sister, how is your betrothal gift preparation going?"

“Basically, everything is ready.”

All that's left is to arrange it properly.

"Okay, then we'll go to the old master's house in three days to start the gift-giving procession. You prepare the gift list and paperwork."

"Okay, don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm ready."

"it is good."

After the discussion, Zhao Yuanzhen went back.

As soon as I arrived at Chengyuan and returned to my own yard, I saw my two daughters-in-law waiting for me in the main hall.

What's going on?

The two of them seemed to be waiting for him on purpose.

"Mom, you're back!"

"Well, sit down. Is there something wrong with you two?"

The two of them looked at each other, and finally Li Zhijuan spoke.

"Well, mother, this morning my aunt went to the Taifu Mansion to propose marriage. My sister-in-law and I wanted to see the excitement, so we sent the servants to watch my aunt propose marriage. But outside the Taifu Mansion, we heard some gossip, and thought we should talk to mother about it."

Zhao Yuanzhen frowned. The two families were engaged, so how could there be any gossip?

"What gossip?"

"That is, they say that Xin Shu and the Third Miss are of different generations. Logically, Xin Shu should be the Third Miss's junior master, and this is not in accordance with etiquette or something like that."

Li Zhijuan told Zhao Yuanzhen what she had heard.
