Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

After everyone left, Jiang's mother forced herself back into the house and sat down with a thud. Jiang Shangxian then realized that her hands were shaking. "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

My hands are shaking, could it be hyperthyroidism?

Xia Zhenying quickly gave her a glass of water and smoothed her back before she recovered. She pinched her thigh hard and jumped up with a scream.

"What a weird thing you're doing! Hurry up and sit down!" Old Lady Xia really thought her daughter was shameless!

Jiang's mother was scolded but continued to yell, a look of disbelief on her face: "Mother, this is actually true! How could the Cui family agree to this!?"

How could the Cui family agree to this? How would Old Madam Xia know? However, since Cui Bianxu had brought an official matchmaker to propose marriage, it was a done deal. Now she was worried about whether there would be any problems with the horoscope.

Some families, when they don’t want to get married, will say that the horoscopes are incompatible.

Jiang Shangxian had no chance to express his opinion during the entire marriage process. The Jiang family had always been considering Cui Bianxu as their son-in-law. They never thought that Jiang Shangxian would disagree. The only obstacle in their eyes was the Cui family.

Jiang Shangxian also understood this and did not dwell on it. Her biggest doubt now was why Cui Bianxu suddenly came to propose marriage.

"Nian Nu, you are the same child. Shaoqing Cui is coming to propose marriage, but you didn't even inform your family. We haven't made any preparations at all." Jiang's mother came to her senses and looked through the boxes on the ground. She directed Jiang Wangri to take good care of the two geese and complained to her daughter for being too busy.

These two wild geese cannot die. They must be taken good care of. They will be needed on the wedding day and will be released after the wedding.

Jiang Shangxian, who had not received any advance notice, remained silent. She now just wanted to find Cui Bianxu and have a long talk.

Old Madam Xia was in a very good mood at this time. Her own pig had successfully knocked down the Cui family's emerald cabbage. She almost wanted to set off firecrackers for three days and three nights!

"Don't rummage through it. Check it against the list and put it away carefully. You must take it back with you when Nian Nu gets married." Old Madam Xia handed over the gift list. This was only the betrothal gift, not the engagement gift. If she was so generous, by the time the engagement gift was given, wouldn't the yard be filled with so many items?

Jiang's mother took the gift list and began to worry as she reviewed it. "This gift is too generous! How can our family afford such a large dowry? The Cui Mansion is huge. I'll go take a look someday. I wonder how much furniture we'll need to fit it all in."

After the joy comes the troubles. At this time, the woman's dowry is generally in accordance with the betrothal gifts. When a wealthy family marries off their daughter, they will give her everything she needs for her whole life as a dowry, and they will also add a farm and a shop. This means that even if my daughter marries into your family, she will not use your things, but her own things. This is the confidence.

Ordinary people naturally don’t need these, but it is a great honor for poor families to be able to buy a good wedding dress.

But even if the Jiang family used all the money they had on hand to buy the dowry, it would still be far from enough to cover today's betrothal gift, let alone the betrothal gift.

Old Madam Xia rolled her eyes at her. "I call you stupid, and you really are. How could Jiulang not know what's going on in our family? Just do what you can. Even if you're just pretending to be rich, how much money can you borrow?"

It is difficult for poor people to even borrow money, but wealthy families can easily borrow more money than they can earn in a lifetime.

Jiang Shangxian was not worried about her dowry. This was the only money her family had. If she gave it all to her alone, how would her mother and brother live?

"Mother, don't worry. Just do as we said before. Erlang and I will each take half of the cash in the house. No need to give more." Even if she gave it all, it would not be enough. Why should she empty the house to fill the gap that could never be filled?

Old Madam Xia nodded: "You don't think as clearly as a child."

Jiang Wangri and Xia Zhenying surrounded Jiang's mother and watched her check the list. Every time they saw something, they would exclaim in surprise. The room was filled with shouting and yelling, and Jiang's mother, annoyed, simply kicked them out: "Why don't you go out and set up your stall? Your sister needs money right now! Dare to slack off or I'll skin you alive!"

The two were reluctant to leave, and kept looking back as they packed up their things and went out to set up their stall. Jiang Shangxian was in a trance, and his heart was the only thing beating the most violently in his body, and it hasn't calmed down yet.

She was the one who felt most like she was dreaming. Just as she was lost in thought, Jiang Wangri came running in again: "Sister, Cui, no, brother-in-law, brother-in-law is here!"

Brother-in-law? ? ?

Jiang Shangxian's expression froze on his face. He felt a little awkward, a little embarrassed, and a little asylum. He changed his words so quickly!

"Did Shaoqing leave anything behind?" She looked at the man who had gone and returned, and wanted to pinch him to see if he was dreaming.

Cui Bianxu, who had just used his ultimate move, was beaming with joy, yet he still forced himself to act nonchalant. "I'm taking a day off today."

"Yeah." Jiang Shangxian felt that his brain circuits were becoming more and more inconsistent with his. He agreed with his mouth, but his eyes were full of inquiry. Was he going to explain the situation to him?

"Let's go." Seeing her agree, Cui Bianxu jumped on his horse.

There were many people watching the fun outside. Jiang Shangxian didn't want his gossip to be too exaggerated, so he got on his horse and followed.

It was not until they left the city that Jiang Shangxian finally reacted, and her face was distorted with shock - even on the day of the marriage, this guy would not let her go.

Good man, if we get married in the future, won’t we have to practice every day when we open our eyes?

In the martial arts arena, the two men were facing each other in horse stance, just like Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng.

Jian Ming stood beside him with a tangled face. He couldn't understand why his Jiulang would marry Jiang Xiaoniang. He knew that his Jiulang had feelings for Jiang Xiaoniang, but he only thought that she would be taken into the mansion as a concubine in the future.

Marrying and taking a wife are two different things. None of the sons of the Cui family married anyone other than the daughter of a wealthy family. He was really worried that if this marriage really went through, his Jiulang would be left behind in the family in the future.

Jiang Shangxian's face was also serious at this moment: "Why did you come to my house to propose marriage?"

"You don't want to marry me?" Cui Bianxu also became serious. The two of them had been together for some time, and he always felt that Jiang Shangxian and he were in tune with each other.

But looking at Miss Jiang, she doesn't seem very happy.

Jiang Shangxian fell silent again. She couldn't say that she just wanted to take advantage of the relationship from the beginning and then run away after taking all the benefits, right?

If she dared to say that, Cui Bianxu would probably draw his sword and fight her in a duel!
