Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Then a few more people came to ask where their problems were. Qin and Chu Qinghe carefully pointed out the problems to everyone. Seeing that everyone was very sorry for not being selected, they said to everyone: "We are only recruiting ten people this time. Don't be discouraged if you are not selected. We will recruit more people soon. If you want to do it, go back and practice needlework and try to be selected next time."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and practice hard, and come again next time."

Several people came to agree and said they would come again next time. It would be stupid not to come. The monthly salary is so high, and there are extra rewards. After returning home, they must practice hard and try to be selected next time. It is possible that they can eat meat every day in the future.

Seeing that everyone accepted this situation, Chu Qinghe signed employment contracts with the selected people, writing down the work requirements, work rights, obligations, salary standards, reward and punishment clauses, and special confidentiality agreements in the contracts. Since no one could write, the village head signed on their behalf, and then they put their fingerprints on the contracts themselves. Three copies were made, with each party keeping one copy, and the rest was filed with the government.

After the contract was signed and the start and end times were arranged, Qinghe told everyone that they would officially come to work at his house tomorrow, and everyone left one after another and went home.

Not long after everyone left, the village head and Zhang Dashan came, holding two pieces of paper with dense writing in their hands. The village head saw them coming and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring it over to us."

The two men handed the things to the head of the village and sat down in the seats next to them.

"There are a total of 138 households in our village. Except for a few who do not participate, most of them are willing to participate in breeding. This is the statistics of borrowing money and borrowing seedlings. There are 39 households borrowing silver, and the rest borrowed seedlings. The number of chicken, duck, goose and pig seedlings is written here. He girl, these are not small quantities. Can there be so many? When can we buy the seedlings?"

Chu Qinghe took the paper from the village head and glanced at it. "Grandpa Village Head, I have contacted you about these seedlings before. I will let you know in advance and we will start delivering them the next day. They will be delivered in about seven days. You can arrange for everyone to sign and receive the seedlings by then."

Seeing that He Yatou's arrangements were so thoughtful and quick, the head of the village and the village chief were beaming with joy. They just needed to count the numbers and do nothing else, and they could start making money from breeding. They were full of gratitude to Qinghe and looked forward to the future.

After everything was arranged, the village head and the village chief planned to go back. The village head still had to look after the land reclamation, and the village chief was now helping to look after the house construction. They were both very busy with their work. When they were about to leave, Chu Lao Er said to them, "Uncle village head, uncle village chief, there is something important going on at home today. Would you two stay and help with the consultation?"

"Oh? What's the big deal? Isn't the recruitment of workers and factory building these days a big deal? These are all big and good things for our Shangao Village. Uncle would like to thank you and Qinghe on behalf of all the villagers." The village chief also echoed and said yes.

When Chu Lao Er heard what the head of the village said, he said quickly, "We are all from the same village. Everyone has taken good care of us. Qinghe is able to help everyone now, which is also her intention. Don't worry about it, uncles. Today's matter is not about building a factory and recruiting workers, but about Qinghe's marriage. You uncles also know that Qinghe broke off the engagement with the Lin family. I have been worried about her marriage, but I have no idea where to go. Someone came to propose marriage today, so I asked you two elders to be here to check it out."

"Oh, so that's what happened. Good news, good news. Who is this young man from? Have you found out more about his family background?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to be more careful when choosing a husband's family. You can't be careless, otherwise you will ruin your child's life!"

The head of the village and the village chief were talking about the precautions and importance of engagement.

As they were talking, several children ran into the yard.

"Uncle, Sister He, someone is coming to your house in a horse-drawn carriage. It's a really big carriage."

"Yes, not only did he have a carriage, but he also had many people following him and bringing many gifts. Lots and lots of them."

The children who ran in were more excited than each other. They had never seen such a nice carriage and such a grand display. They were eager to tell everyone what they had seen, as if they were afraid that others would not know.

Chu Qinghe knew that it was Baili Ye who came, and said to her parents with a smile: "He's here." Then she was about to go out to meet him.

Qin hurriedly grabbed her and said, "My ancestor, you are getting engaged today, how can you go out to meet someone? Go back to your room quickly, it won't be too late to show up when I call you out later."

Chu Qinghe realized it now. There were too many etiquettes in ancient times. When a girl was getting engaged, she would usually just look at her boyfriend shyly. If she felt that the guy was suitable, she would say that her parents would make the decision. If not, she would say that she wanted to stay at home to fulfill her filial duties. Just a quick meeting like this would determine the rest of their lives. Sometimes, the couple would get engaged without even meeting each other. It was all decided by the parents and the matchmaker.

When her mother said that, her pretty face turned red and she felt that she was too eager. This was the first time for a girl to get into a sedan chair in her past and present lives, so she obediently returned to her room. The head of the village and the village chief smiled and laughed at the girl's red face.

As they were talking, the people outside the door entered the yard. A well-dressed woman walked in front of them, holding a handkerchief in her hand and swinging it back and forth as she walked. This was the standard matchmaker for marriage proposal. Seeing that the matchmaker was dressed like an official matchmaker, the head of the village and the village chief were shocked. They invited an official matchmaker to come to their house, which meant that the other party attached great importance to this marriage.

My eyes moved behind the matchmaker and I saw a tall and graceful young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. It was obvious at first glance that he was not from an ordinary family.

Seeing the young man's appearance, everyone was very satisfied and stood up to greet him.

The matchmaker spoke first: "What a great event! Today I am here to ask for a bride and a happy marriage. Brother Chu, sister, I am the matchmaker of Tailai County. You can just call me Mrs. Wang. Today I am here to ask for a bride on behalf of Mr. Bai and to conclude a happy marriage!"

Chu Lao Er and Qin Shi hurried forward to greet the matchmaker: "Thank you, Sister Wang, for coming to our house and taking the trouble to arrange it. I wonder which young man is coming to propose marriage?"

After saying that, they both looked at Baili Ye at the same time.

"I am Bai Ye. I meet Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu." He bowed solemnly. Everyone saw that the young man was steady and polite. He looked like a child from a well-educated family. The first impression was very good.

Seeing that everyone had a good impression of each other when they first met, Matchmaker Wang continued Baili Ye's words and said, "I, Matchmaker Wang, have talked about at least 800 matchmakers, if not 1,000. I have never seen any young master take this marriage as seriously as Young Master Bai."

"Big sister, look at this ceremony and these gifts. We came here with full sincerity. Your daughter is blessed."

Chu Lao Er and Qin were also a little shocked when they looked at the endless gifts. He brought so many things when he came to propose marriage for the first time. Wouldn’t the ceremony be even more grand when he formally proposed marriage?
