Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Dayong is not high-profile. He takes off his military uniform when he returns home from the camp every day.

Now he went to Lingjia Village to propose marriage and put on military uniform just to let her know that he was constantly improving and could give her a good future.

Seeing the military uniform, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary soldier, and the villagers opened their eyes wide.

Someone who knew a little bit about it said, "This is the uniform of a military commander. He's in charge of at least 200 to 300 people."

"Oh my god, this girl from the Ling family is so lucky."

"Look at these betrothal gifts, boxes and boxes of them. They are even more expensive than many other families' weddings in this town."

The Ling family was deeply moved when they saw the Qiao family sending so many betrothal gifts.

In addition to the roosters and chickens, there was also a pair of geese. Then, a big fat sheep was driven down from the carriage.

"My God, such a big fat sheep is a gift. It should be worth at least three taels of silver."

"All of this added up to more than ten taels, and there's also a separate betrothal gift, which is probably higher than what an ordinary family would pay for a bride."

The villagers were astonished. With such a grand display, they thought the girl from the Ling family must have accumulated a lot of blessings in her previous life.

Qiao Jianer filled a tray with sugar cakes and gave them to everyone to eat.

When she came to the Ling family to borrow money and grain, many villagers must have guessed her intention. Seeing that the betrothal gift was so generous, in order to prevent some people from feeling aggrieved and spreading rumors, she still needed to win them over.

The villagers here didn't expect that they would also have a share. They came to grab the sugar cakes while expressing their gratitude. They had a better impression of the Qiao family and expressed their blessings.

Hearing that there would be sugar cakes to eat, other villagers also came. As they saw the trays were empty, everyone looked disappointed.

Qiao Jianer generously filled another large tray.

"Come, come, everyone, eat as much as you can, and there will be more on the wedding day."

The villagers were very happy.

"Baby, when is the wedding date?"

"I'm not sure yet, but it's not far off. It won't be after this year."

An aunt whispered to her, "Do you have any other brothers? My daughter Yuexiang just turned sixteen this year, and she is of marriageable age."

Qiao Jianer coughed and said, "Aunt, it's hard to say what's the matter with fate."

Afraid that this aunt would talk too much, he stuffed her with a handful of candy and went on to take care of other people.

Ling Yin and Qiao Jianer gave out sweets to everyone. When she saw Dayong, handsome and resolute in military uniform, her heart was filled with sweetness and she felt a full sense of security in her life.

"Jian'er, when did your elder brother become the leader of the soldiers?" This was a bit sudden for her.

"He's good at fighting, and General Chu from the camp took a fancy to him. All the men in the Qiao family joined the army, except for Brother Dayong, Brother Dacheng, and Brother Dameng, who all became small soldiers."

"So awesome." Ling Yin exclaimed in amazement. Come to think of it, the men in the Qiao family are all tall and strong, and good at fighting. Maybe they can make great achievements by joining the army.

When the villagers heard that there was candy, they came in waves.

Finally, Qiao Lianer distributed a bag of sugar cakes, weighing over a hundred pounds.

Ling Xiao and Ling Anguang were full of sugar cakes. They each grabbed a handful and sat in the yard playing rock-paper-scissors to bet on candy.

The adults were discussing the marriage in the main hall. The Ling family knew in advance that the Qiao family would come today, so they bought some good tea and prepared it. The aroma of tea was wafting through the air.

Qiao Jianer entered Ling Yin's room holding a box.

"Sister Kama, what's in here?"

Qiao Jianer opened the box, and inside were cosmetics, water, lotion and other things. She accidentally found these in the warehouse, but they were not free supplies, so she still needed to spend some gold coins to buy them.

"These are used for makeup. The makeup made with these things looks much better than the usual ones."

Ancient cosmetics, such as rouge and powder, contained heavy lead content, which could cause poisoning if used for a long time. In addition, the stone ink used to draw eyebrows was also applied very lightly.

Ling Yin took these things and looked at them, bottles and jars, all of which were of excellent quality, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

Qiao Jianer first moisturized her face, applied foundation, setting powder, nose shadow and highlighter, then drew her eyebrows and put on eye makeup.

Ling Yin had good facial features, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a good face shape, so she didn't have to bother adjusting. As she followed the steps, the person in the mirror became more and more beautiful, radiant, and finally with the red lipstick on, a vivid beauty appeared in the mirror.

Qiao Lian'er murmured in her heart that Ling Yin was still pretty, but she was just busy taking care of the household and didn't take care of herself much.

Ling Yin looked in the mirror in disbelief. Oh my God, is that still herself?

Her eyes were full of bright stars. She held her face with her hands, but didn't dare to touch it for fear of ruining her makeup.

"Sickle, I only have one thought now."

"What?"

"It's just like welding this makeup onto my face."

Qiao Jianer smiled: "Do you want to show it to my elder brother?"

Ling Yin stood up almost immediately and was about to go out, but when she reached the door, she came back immediately.

"No, it would be a shame to let him see such beautiful makeup now. I want to give him a surprise on that day."

She grabbed Qiao Jian'er's hand again and said, "Jian'er, this makeup is so complicated. I looked at it very carefully just now, but now I have forgotten everything. Wait until that day, can you do my makeup for me?"

"Okay." Qiao Jianer agreed.

Ling Yin was very happy. She opened her arms to hug her and kissed her on the face, leaving a lip print.

"Ah, I didn't know this thing would get on me." Ling Yin quickly looked for a handkerchief.

"No need for that, it won't clean."

Qiao Jianer picked up the makeup remover, poured a little onto the cotton pad, and gently removed it. The lip marks disappeared.

"Sister Lingyin, wait until night time and do this to get rid of everything on your face. Then use this." She picked up a bottle of facial cleanser and said, "Pour a little into your hands, lather it up with water, and use it to wash your face. It will be very clean."

"No, I haven't seen enough, how can I wash it?"

Qiao Jianer covered her mouth and laughed: "Sister Ling Yin, these must be washed off, otherwise you will get acne on your face and it will damage your skin."

"Ah." Ling Yin looked disappointed: "Then wash it."

In the main hall, Boss Qiao said apologetically, "I also want to get married as soon as possible, but the grain-collecting team hasn't gone far yet, so it's not a good idea to have a grand wedding. We have to wait. We have already gone through the necessary formalities and come with full sincerity. We will never let my in-laws down."

"Brother Qiao, I understand. We should be cautious in this kind of thing. We should hold two banquets at the same time and we must not be careless. You have considered it carefully." Ling Lao San agreed.

Originally, the Qiao family decided on twelve taels, but later added six more taels, for a total of eighteen taels.

Qiu walked towards the house holding the box of betrothal money.

On top of the betrothal gift were three pieces of silver bought by the Qiao family. They were quite heavy and inlaid with gold.

Such a large amount of betrothal gifts and gifts shows how much the Qiao family values ​​her. There is no need to worry that Yin girl will not have a good life in the future.

Someone at the door looked in: "Sister, how much dowry did the Qiao family give?"

Qiu's steps froze for a moment. The man was Lu Quezi from the village. When those people came to collect the tax a few days ago, someone secretly hid the silver. Lu Quezi reported it to the grain collection team, causing great suffering to that family. Not only was all the silver taken away, but they were also beaten with dozens of boards and are now unable to get out of the field.
