Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

Today, just as Ye Guo and his companions' ox cart left, a horse carriage came into the village, and it was a four-horse carriage, which was unprecedented.

Almost all the men, women and children in the village came to watch.

The people who came in the carriage, young and old, were all dressed in brocade clothes and wearing sachets and jade pendants, looking like wealthy people.

Although they went to the headman's house at first, now all these people are sitting in Ye Guo's house!

Old Man Ye and his friends were originally busy working in the fields and did not join in the fun. Then, they were called back from the fields to entertain the guests. They had extremely complicated feelings along the way.

"You mean, they came here specially to thank Xiaoguo?" Logically speaking, they also knew about how Ye Guo saved the man, and they should be happy that someone came to thank them.

However, it has been almost a month since the rescue, and their family has been so busy lately that they have long forgotten about this matter.

The eldest grandson of the village head, everyone calls him Shuanzi, is in his early 20s and just had a big fat boy this year. He has dark skin and a strong body. He carries Old Man Ye's hoe on his shoulders and holds Old Man Ye's backpack in his hands. He speaks in a rough voice.

"Mr. Chen said it was my aunt who saved his grandson. Mainly, many young people came to the Chen family. I heard that the oldest is about the same age as Ah Cheng, and the youngest is about the same age as Ah Li. So Grandpa specifically told me to prepare you mentally."

"Prepare? Prepare for what?" Boss Ye looked puzzled. Didn't he say thank you?

Do you need to prepare in advance before being thanked?

Su, who was standing by, suddenly smiled upon hearing this. She reached out and pulled his clothes. She couldn't help but say in front of outsiders, "You idiot, they should want to marry into our family."

"Marriage? Why would they have such an idea? Dad, isn't this a bit bad?" Boss Ye didn't understand. How could they talk about marriage when they hadn't even met the person yet?

When the younger sister quietly slipped away, she said, just pretend you never did it. At that time, he felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Now that the person he wanted to thank had come to his house, he still felt very uncomfortable.

There was no sign of happiness on Father Ye's face, and he was full of solemnity. "Wait and see, eldest brother's wife, when you go back, stay with Xiaowan and stay away from her."

Su's hair turned white with worry over her children's marriages. The other party was from a wealthy family, so she couldn't even think about getting married. People wouldn't send their daughters here to suffer.

But, isn't it also not possible to marry off a daughter? No one dared to call this marriage a marriage exchange.

Although Su was reluctant in his heart, he did not refute in the end.

Old Lady Ye, who was standing nearby, also felt that something was very strange, so she asked Wang in a low voice, "Second wife, what about the Chen family?"

Wang had been thinking about something, and she lowered her voice and replied, "The Chen family has a good reputation in the county. If they really want to marry, it's not impossible. Our family can afford it now." When Mrs. Ye heard this, the worry on her face finally dissipated a little, and she listened to Wang continue, "It depends on which one you decide on. I'll ask my family to help find out."

"But Xiaowan, you are more or less married into a wealthy family. You know, there are many shady families among the rich and powerful."

Yes, to enjoy wealth and glory, one must be alive.

I hope the Chen family really wants to repay their gratitude.

As soon as the Ye family entered the room, they saw the old lady sitting at the top of the table. Although she was old, she had a dignified temperament. Her face was slightly wrinkled, but it revealed the vicissitudes of life and calmness.

The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the white hair on her temples, like frost and snow in winter, highlight her calmness and wisdom.

The old lady was wearing a light blue long cotton dress, a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls on her head, and her earrings and bracelets were all golden, making her look particularly wealthy.

The slightly plump middle-aged man sitting to her lower right should be Mr. Chen. He is dressed elegantly, has a plump face and well-maintained skin, which shows that he usually lives in good conditions.

There was an imperceptible majesty and confidence between his eyebrows, and his eyes were calm yet sharp. The young men around him all appeared quiet and polite in front of him, which showed that he had a lot of prestige.

"Master Ye, please forgive me for your sudden visit." When Mr. Chen saw Old Man Ye and others come in, he stood up immediately.

He behaved calmly and properly, wearing a dark green satin robe embroidered with intricate auspicious cloud patterns. He looked low-key yet exuded an unspoken nobility.

The village head, who had been accompanying them, also stood up. He was only in his early fifties, but due to years of hard work, he looked older than Old Man Ye.

Although it was Mr. Chen who greeted Old Man Ye first, the head of the village first introduced Old Man Chen, the oldest woman, to Old Man Ye: "Dafu, this is the old Lord of the Chen family. He came here today to thank Xiaoguo."

The old lady stood up, leaning on a carved cane inlaid with red gemstones, "Master Ye, I hope you don't mind my intrusive visit."

"Ms. Ye saved my grandson and did good deeds without leaving a name. It took us a lot of effort to find out that it was your family. We were in a hurry to come to your house to express our gratitude, so we didn't have time to greet you in advance."

"Mr. Old Madam, are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?" the old lady asked deliberately, turning sideways.

The woman in brocade clothes beside her was holding a child who was over two years old. The child was white and plump, just like a ginseng doll.

Seeing Ye Dafu, that is, Ye Lao Da behind Ye Lao Di, tears immediately welled up in his eyes, "Yes, yes, that's right, it was this big brother who stopped me at that time. That's why the young lady was able to rescue Fu Tuan."

"Brother, thank you so much." The woman in brocade clothes wanted to kneel down and kowtow while holding the child. Boss Ye wanted to help her but didn't dare to, and was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"If you want to thank someone, you should thank my little sister." Boss Ye dodged to the side and did not seek credit. To him, the fact that my little sister saved people made him happier than if he himself had saved people.

Seeing that they thanked me sincerely, I smiled.

Perhaps Chen Yuanwai also felt that what Ye Lao Da said was right, so he raised his hand slightly to stop him and asked Ye Lao Dad, "I don't know, Miss Ye, when will you return home?"

This question was very abrupt.

During this era, although women were allowed to go out on the streets or do business alone, and there were also female households, in general, unmarried girls from wealthy families were not easily seen by outsiders.

Although the Ye family is a farming family, they would not rush to bring their unmarried girls out to meet strangers.

Seeing that the woman did not even bow down, Old Man Ye's eyebrows were so tight that they could kill a fly, so he replied stiffly, "I don't know."

Mr. Chen seemed to have not noticed it at all. He looked grim and enthusiastically signaled the younger generation in the family to take down all the gifts from the carriage.

Each one of them was in an orderly manner, and the things they held in their hands always caused exclamations from the villagers watching outside the door.

Old Man Ye counted carefully and found that there were five young men from the Chen family. They were about the same height and age, and their appearance was impeccable.

The gifts brought by the Chen family included half a pig's leg, three rolls of cotton cloth, three rolls of silk, a silver headpiece, a set of pearl hairpins, and a bunch of oil-paper packages with red labels, which should be some cakes.

The most eye-catching thing is a basin covered with red cloth with silver ingots neatly arranged in two rows, ten in total, each weighing one hundred taels.

Everyone gasped.

Most villagers would not save more than 20 taels of silver in their entire life. To the people of Yejia Village, the Chen family's generosity was almost considered a huge fortune. They all started talking to each other, wishing they could be the ones to be thanked.

"No, this gift is too expensive." Old Man Ye looked at the head of the village at a loss.

The latter was also shocked. For a long while, he rubbed his hands and stood there in silence.

It was difficult for him to get involved in this matter. Most importantly, he also gained some benefits.

Now that it has been confirmed that it was Xiaoguo who saved the man, the Chen family has decided to form a marriage alliance with him. There is nothing wrong with accepting this little thing.

"These things are really nothing to our Chen family. The eldest wife has been married for more than three years, and only then did she get this golden nugget. The young lady saved Fu Tuan, which is a great favor to our Chen family."

"The gift is small but the sentiment is great. I just hope that the young lady will not despise it."

"All these nephews and nieces of the Chen family behind me have not yet been engaged. If your family likes one of them, we can get engaged right now while everyone is here."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers collectively climaxed! However, Ye Guo's family members turned green when they heard this.
