"Have you finished chatting?"

Mu Jin glanced at Ji Xuanming and nodded, then relayed to Ji Xuanming the requests her grandmother had just made on the phone.

How the Ji family prepares and what they prepare are things that Ji Xuanming should handle and discuss, and have nothing to do with her.

"Grandma said the following items are essential as a betrothal gift: a comb, a ruler, a scale, a mirror, scissors, and an abacus."

"The rest is the gift money. Grandma said it depends on your intentions. There's no specific figure."

"As for the betrothal gifts, including hardware and other gifts, you need to ask for an auspicious number, six or eight things, or more often twelve. In any case, it has to be an even number."

"It includes meat, wedding cakes, candy, tobacco, alcohol, dried fruits, and there is also a matchmaker gift and a banquet gift."

Mu Jin sat on the chair and counted them one by one on her fingers to Ji Xuanming. She herself felt that there were so many and complicated things. Some of them were even looked up by her on the Internet. Her grandmother always said that it was just a formality and there was no need to be too excessive. Just show your thoughtfulness.

So she basically only mentioned some common things. If she didn't say anything and let Ji Xuanming prepare it, she was afraid that Ji Xuanming would give too much and scare her grandmother.

"Grandma said it's the thought that counts."

Mu Jin didn't tell her directly not to give too much, for she was afraid that she would be too sentimental. But according to Ji Xuanming's character, he wanted to give all the good things to Mu Jin.

"Let's have lunch together? I'll take you to the fabric market in the afternoon, and then go home."

Mu Jin had no objection. She looked at the time and it was almost noon.

"I'll ask Mo Bai if he wants to join us."

【Baby, do you want to have lunch together? 】

[I'm fine with it. Why don't you go with your teacher Ji? ]

【Let’s go together. I’m calling you to come too. 】

Mo Bai on the other end didn't reply immediately. Although she had a good relationship with Ji Xuanming, she always felt that she would be a third wheel.

[You're probably eating takeout by yourself, so why not eat something casually together? Having one more person will give you more variety.]

Mo Bai was spineless and immediately switched sides.

[Since my darling has invited me like this, I naturally have to accept. Give me the address, and I'll be leaving soon.]

"Where are we going to eat at noon?"

"Do you want to eat anything?"

"It's all right. I'm craving Sichuan food, something spicy."

Ji Xuanming raised his eyebrows. He suddenly wanted to eat spicy food, which was really beyond his expectation.

"Then let's eat Sichuan food. I'll send you the address."

"Just send it directly to Mo Bai, without going through me."

Ji Xuanming paused and sent the location directly to Xiang Mobai.

He and Xiang Mobai rarely chatted privately, unless it was about something related to Mu Jin, such as preparing a surprise or a gift for her.

When Mo Bai saw the message, he just replied with an OK emoticon and then didn't reply again.

Mu Jin packed up her things and waited for Ji Xuanming to finish his work and take her out.

After Ji Xuanming finished signing the expedited documents that Wen Shi had just brought in, he let Wen Shi out and casually said, "If there's nothing else, let them leave work an hour earlier this afternoon."

"Okay, Mr. Ji."

Wen Shi went out and closed the door casually. Ji Xuanming motioned Mu Jin to go out and took the bag from her hand. Mu Jin was not polite and took Ji Xuanming's arm.

When the two arrived at the Sichuan restaurant, Mo Bai was already in the private room and ordered some dishes that were Mu Jin's favorites.

"Teacher Ji, do you want to see what you want to eat?"

"No, just order whatever Mu Jin likes."

Mo Bai didn't continue after hearing this. They ate and chatted for a while. Mu Jin hadn't eaten such spicy food for a long time and couldn't adapt to it for a while.

But the more I eat, the more I enjoy it.

Ji Xuanming was worried about her stomach, but when he saw Mu Jin so happy, he swallowed his words back. At worst, he could just prepare medicine for her in advance.

Mu Jin and Mo Bai were sweating all over their faces, but neither of them wore any makeup today, just pretending to be casual.

Ji Xuanming didn't move his chopsticks much. He couldn't eat spicy food very well, especially when something so exciting suddenly came. He was just happy to see Mu Jin eating so contentedly.

After sending the two to the entrance of the fabric market, Ji Xuanming left, saying that he would pick her up after finishing.

"Your teacher Ji is indeed capable."

Mo Bai walked in holding Mu Jin's arm. She had seen everything Ji Xuanming had done, both before and after their reunion. Mo Bai felt relieved to leave Mu Jin to him.

After the two met with Zhao Tong, Mu Jin briefly explained it to Zhao Tong. She didn't expect Zhao Tong to remember much.

Over there, Ji Xuanming drove back to the Ji family after sending Mu Jin off.

The two elders of the Ji family were sitting in the living room waiting for him. Gu Wei also made a pot of tea and Aunt Ji served some cakes.

Ji Hongsheng was accompanying Gu Wei beside her.

"He's back."

Ji Xuanming nodded to the two of them as a greeting, and then sat down opposite them.

"Mom and Dad."

"What did Hibiscus say?"

Ji Xuanming conveyed to the two what Mu Jin said at noon, and Gu Wei and Ji Hongsheng looked at each other.

"Give your in-laws a gift of 28.8 yuan. Bring a check when the time comes. Give the remaining 888 million yuan directly to Mu Jin and transfer it to her account. As for the hardware, take Mu Jin with you to buy it. There's no upper limit. We'll prepare the gold bricks."

Ji Xuanming nodded. He had no objection. The hardware really had to be what Mu Jin liked. He had actually almost prepared the diamond ring, and he would let Mu Jin choose the rest.

"For the rest, prepare twelve items. You can go to my private store to choose."

Gu Wei held the teacup and glanced at Ji Xuanming. Her son had no aesthetic taste. It would be better for her to let him prepare it than to let him do it. She had a lot of jewelry in her collection.

"Thank you, Mom."

"I remember that Xiao Jin likes tea?"

Ji Hongsheng also spoke on the side, and Ji Xuanming nodded.

"Then bring the tea leaves with you."

Ji Xuanming immediately understood who it was. He looked at his father and actually was willing to give it up.

Ji Hongsheng rolled his eyes at him unhappily. How could proposing a marriage be the same as any other?

"There are also some other skin care products and dry goods. Count them to see if there are twelve items. If there are more, eighteen will be fine."

Ji Xuanming certainly had no objection.

"A set of jewelry from my mom..."

Ji Xuanming was interrupted by Gu Wei just as he opened his mouth, "It's also possible to have more than one set, don't count the number yet."

"Then let's do it by sample."

Ji Xuanming paused.

"Jewelry, tea, cigarettes, alcohol, house, car, dry goods, wedding cakes and candies, meat, hardware set, gold bricks, diamond ring, betrothal money."

"Well, buy some bags and other things, about twenty items in total."

"Remember not to be stingy."

Gu Wei glanced at the person in front of her. In fact, this was her first time handling such matters, and she was afraid of neglecting Mu Jin and causing her to feel resentful.

Ji Xuanming nodded, sat for a while and then left.
