It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

"It's hard to say. There must be quite a few people from all over the place proposing marriage. Brother Jian has very high standards. He even refused the matchmaking from the young master of a wealthy family in town."

"No matter how high his abilities are, he still has to get married in the end."

There was a lot of discussion outside the door, and the three people inside went directly to the living room (where guests were entertained).

Matchmaker Qian sat down on a chair in the room without any hesitation, and then pointed at the things the driver had placed on the table and said, "The eldest son of our county magistrate has fallen in love with your son. These are the betrothal gifts."

As he spoke, the driver opened the betrothal gifts on the table.

In a small box, there were 20 silver ingots, totaling 100 taels.

In another package were 10 rolls of expensive silk cloth.

There is also a jewelry box containing some gold and silver jewelry, all in pairs.

Ning Chengyong glanced at the things on the table, frowned, and said, "My brother has not agreed to get married."

Bai Lifen's face didn't look very good either. They had never had a blind date with the son of the county magistrate, nor had they had any contact with him. But they just brought the betrothal gifts directly. Was they planning to force him to marry?

Qian Mei didn't care about the two people's expressions at all. He said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "You are just farmers. You can be secretly happy to be able to marry the county magistrate. What else can you be dissatisfied with?"

"What's the situation with the son of the county magistrate?" Bai Lifen asked for the sake of caution.

The county magistrate is the highest-ranking official in the county except for the county magistrate. They don't want to offend him, so they want to know more about the situation before making any plans.

"What else could it be? He's a handsome man with a good family background. It would be a great honor for your brother to marry him." Matchmaker Qian said with pride.

But if you listen carefully, this time the words are obviously less confident than before.

The Ning couple didn't know this person very well, so they didn't hear anything wrong with her tone.

However, Bai Lifen still said directly: "We can't decide on the matter of marriage. It still depends on my brother's wishes."

The boy in their family has been very smart since he was young. He has his own ideas about everything. It is up to him to decide whether to get married or not. She said that she couldn't make the decision, and it was the truth.

When Matchmaker Qian heard this, she thought they were pretending to be superior in order to get more benefits.

Since ancient times, every marriage is decided by the parents and the matchmaker. When did it become a boy's turn to make the decision?

So she said bluntly, "It's a blessing for you that the son of the county magistrate can marry your son. Have you ever seen anyone in this area who would give 200 taels of silver as a betrothal gift to a boy?"

"After the marriage, he will be the eldest son's daughter-in-law, and will enjoy endless wealth and splendor, living in a spacious mansion. Yet you are still not catching up. If you ask me, with your behavior, you can't even eat hot shit."

When the Ning couple heard this, their faces turned dark.

200 taels of silver? His brother could earn 1000 taels of silver, and the family has several thousand taels of silver notes. Do you really think they have never seen the world?

If they hadn't heard that it was the son of the county magistrate who came to propose marriage, they wouldn't have said a word to this person.

Bai Lifen then said angrily, "My family really can't afford you, and we can't afford your things either. Take your things and leave our house."
