There were also many villagers gathered at the door. When they saw the large boxes, they could not hide the envy in their eyes.
“Qingyu has found another rich son-in-law. To be able to prepare so many betrothal gifts, this family is not simple.”
“I heard that Ning Yuting is from a wealthy family in the capital. Moreover, he’s the eldest son and eldest grandson of the first wife. He will inherit the family business in the future.”
“That good?”
“That’s right. Qingzhi is amazing. She saved Ning Yuting and put him and her sister together.”
“Haha, it’s all fate.”
The village chief and the matchmaker checked the betrothal gift. They were amazed. Although the betrothal gift was not as generous as Tang Jinghong’s, it was not much different. What a rich family.
Look at the jade bracelet, the tea leaves, and the incomparably smooth fabric. Most importantly, there were a thousand taels of silver. A thousand taels of silver. This was an astronomical figure to the villagers.
The matchmaker handed the betrothal gift list to Li Qingyu and smiled. “Qingyu, congratulations on getting another good son-in-law.” This meant that there was no problem with the betrothal gifts and it matched the list.
Li Qingyu was overjoyed. She took the betrothal gift list and hurriedly served tea. “Sit, everyone.”
After the betrothal gifts were in place, it was time to discuss the wedding date.
The wedding date was usually decided by the groom’s side. Then, they would ask the bride for her opinion. If the bride did not have any objections, they could start preparing it.
Grandpa Ning took out a red box. There were three pieces of red paper in the box. Each piece of paper had a date written on it. They were all suitable dates for marriage.
They were September 9th, September 19th, and October 10th.
“Future in-laws, which date do you think is more suitable?”
Li Qingyu wanted to hold her eldest son’s wedding first before holding her second daughter’s just for the sake of order.
“In-law, I think September 19th is not bad. This way, there will be more time. Qingyue will have more time to get ready.”
Grandpa Ning looked at Ning Yuting. After all, it was his grandson’s wedding. Ning Yuting agreed readily. “Auntie, we’ll do as you say, but I have something to discuss with everyone.”
Li Qingyu nodded. “Tell us.”
Ning Yuting said, “It takes more than four hours to go from here to the capital. It’s a long journey. I want to bring you to our courtyard in the capital on the eve of our wedding and let Qingyue get married from there. What do you think?”
Yuan Hongjun suddenly interrupted, “Why don’t we go to my house?”
Chu Qingyue was his master’s family, so he didn’t mind helping if he could. Moreover, Chu Qingyue treated him quite well.
“Which family are you from?” Grandpa Ning looked at Yuan Hongjun and thought to himself, This young man looks quite outstanding and should be from a big family.
Yuan Hongjun kept it a secret. “I’ll tell you in the future.”
Bao Linjiang was not to be outdone. “You can also stay in my house. My family is not inferior to his.”
“And you are from?” Grandpa Ning looked at Bao Linjiang.
Bao Linjiang smiled mischievously. “I’ll tell you in the future.”
Everyone was speechless.
Why were they acting so mysteriously?
Chu Qingzhi suggested, “How about this? It just happens that we need to prepare a dowry for Second Sister. When the time comes, we’ll buy a house in the capital and get married from our own home.”
This was the best solution.
Chu Tai was the first to raise his hand in agreement. “I agree.”
When Qingyue married into the capital, she would have no one to rely on. Buying a house could give Qingyue a place to fall back on, and she would have more confidence in her husband’s family.
Granny Chu echoed, “I agree too.”
Chu Rong and Li Qingyu also agreed. “Let’s do as Qingzhi says.”
Chu Qingzhi took over the job. “I’ll handle this. Coincidentally, Jinghong is in the capital. I’ll let him take care of it.”
Li Qingyu thought about it and said, “Qingzhi, remember to say thank you to Jinghong for us.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “1’11 tell him.”
Chu Qingyue’s marriage was decided just like that.
After dinner, Li Qingyu asked Chu Xuhua and Chu Xujin to send Li Qingyin’s family of three home.
She went to make arrangements for everyone’s accommodations. Now that there were more guests, the rooms had to be rearranged.
There were a total of seven rooms on the second floor. Chu Qingzhi stayed in one room alone. This did not change.
The four elders in the family felt that they owed Chu Qingzhi, so they favored her more. Actually, everyone in the family, from old to young, favored her. Regardless of whether they had money or not, they wanted to treat her better.
Chu Xuhua and Chu Xujin went to sleep in the old house. Their room was given to Grandpa Ning. He would only stay for two days.
Ning Yuting also went to sleep in the old house. He had asked for it himself.
Li Zhangjie also went to live in the old house. He said that he wanted to guard the two workshops to prevent theft.
The guest room was for Wu Yaqing and Ge Lihua.
The rest remained unchanged.
Chu Qingning carried a bouquet of flowers to Chu Qingzhi’s room, followed by a few sisters.
Chu Qingning placed the flowers on the desk. “Fifth Sister, these are the roses 1 picked. Use it to decorate your room.”
Chu Qingzhi glanced at the roses and then at the other flowers in the room.
The flowers that Tang Jinghong gave her were still blooming brightly, as if time had stopped.
Seeing the flowers made her involuntarily miss Tang Jinghong. He should have arrived in the capital, right?
“Thank you, Fourth Sister.”
Chu Qingning sat at the table and smiled. “Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”
Chu Qingyue continued and said mysteriously, “Let me show you something.”
Chu Qingyue was holding a bag in her hand. From the shape, it looked like clothes.
Shen Ruyue urged, “Open it.”
Wu Yaqing walked over and sat beside Chu Qingning. “Everyone, guess what it is?”
“A wedding dress!” the cold beauty Ge Lihua suddenly said.
Chu Qingyue paused and turned around to ask, “Lihua, did you take a peep at it without us knowing?”
Ge Lihua’s lips curled up slightly. “I guessed it. You were hugging the bag so preciously. It must be very important to you.”
Chu Qingyue smiled and said, “You’re so smart. It’s a wedding dress.” As she spoke, she showed the wedding dress to her sisters. “Does it look good?”
Chu Qingzhi sat on the stool by the table. “It looks good. Second Sister, when did you make it?”
Chu Qingyue said, “It’s been done for a long time. I was just waiting for you to come back and show it to you. Now that you say it looks good, I’m relieved.”
In her heart, the wedding dress was the most beautiful. It was red and the red color stimulated the vision the most. When one was in red, one would automatically become the center of attention..
