Chapter 305 Dowry
Hearing the sound, Yang Ruyi, like a frightened rabbit, broke free from Li Xiaodao's embrace, and turned to look.

Li Xiaodao was also very embarrassed, he didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to look at the person coming, and looked down at his boots.

"Sister-in-law." Yang Ruyi saw who was coming, and called out softly, the blush on her face became more intense.

Li Xiaodao gritted his teeth, mustered up the courage to raise his head, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen my sister-in-law."

"Hey! Are you a knife?" Xin'er said with a smile on her face.

She readily accepted this title, because she knew a long time ago that Yang Jinzhong had agreed to this marriage and would discuss it with Li Xiaodao today.

Obviously, the two talked well!
"Exactly." Li Xiaodao nodded.

"Sure enough, he is a good-looking talent, no wonder my family Ruyi is tempted." After looking at her, Xin'er praised.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Xiaodao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Sister-in-law..." Yang Ruyi snorted coquettishly, walked to Xin'er's side, and shook her arm.

Xin'er smiled slightly, took Yang Ruyi's hand and patted it lightly, and said softly: "Both colleges should be married, female colleges should be married, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Hearing this, Yang Ruyi blushed even more, and secretly glanced at Li Xiaodao.

"Sister-in-law, it's my first time here. I don't know what you like. I have prepared a small gift, and I hope you will accept it." Li Xiaodao took two steps forward and handed over the gift in his hand.

"I'm interested." Xin'er reached out to take it, and handed it to the maid behind her.

"Let's go, don't stand in the courtyard anymore, let's go into the house and chat." After saying a word, he turned around and walked in front to lead the way.

in the hall.

Xin'er picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Xiaodao, you just came to Fucheng, do you have a place to live?"

"Sister-in-law Lao remembers that I already have a residence in Fucheng. My sister bought the storefront and brought a house behind it." Li Xiaodao cupped his hands.

"What shop?" Xin'er asked curiously.

"Medical Center, Huairen Hall." Li Xiaodao replied.

"I know, there have been discussions in Fucheng recently, and I heard that there is a plaque sent by the chief minister." Xin'er said.

"Yes." Li Xiaodao nodded.

"Sister-in-law, I have already found a matchmaker, and I will come to propose marriage in a few days." Li Xiaodao said solemnly.

"Okay." Xin'er nodded with a smile on her face, and looked at Yang Ruyi who was sitting beside her.

She lowered her head in embarrassment, and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her fingers.

After chatting about homework for a while, Li Xiaodao refused Xin'er's invitation to stay for dinner, took his leave and left.

……

Huairen Hall.

As soon as Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er, who had been busy all morning, sat down, Li Xiaodao came back.

"Brother, how is it?" Fat Miao'er asked anxiously.

"I agree." Li Xiaodao nodded.

"Yeah!" Fat Miao stretched out two fingers, making a V-shape.

"Congratulations to the double happiness, big brother." Liu Ye'er said with a smile.

"Ye'er, how did you find the matchmaker?" Li Xiaodao asked.

"Don't worry, brother, I've already found it. It's a well-known official media in Fucheng." Liu Ye'er replied.

"The day is counting. It will be three days later. Since you have agreed, we will go to make a final decision in the afternoon and let her prepare the letter of appointment." Fat Miao'er said.

"Three days, is it too urgent, can you prepare all the gifts?" Li Xiaodao asked.

"Tomorrow we will ask Uncle Shen for help, as long as we have money, we will be there in time." Fat Miao'er patted his chest and promised.

Just as the three of them were discussing, the compass returned.

"Brother, quickly put on the official uniform and show me." Compass rubbed his hands with excitement.

If it wasn't for looking at this official uniform, Compass should have set sail for Liaodong Mansion this morning.

Hearing this, Li Xiaodao smiled, picked up the package and returned to his room.

After half a stick of incense, the neatly dressed Li Xiaodao returned.

"Brother, you are so handsome!" Compass circled around Li Xiaodao and said enviously.

"Brother, you are so majestic in this official uniform." Fat Miao'er praised.

After chatting for a while, Wei Shu came back from the government school, and everyone was going to have lunch.

After dinner.

Everyone left one after another, busy with their own work.

Three days later.

"So much?" Li Xiaodao said with a look of surprise as he looked at the gift list in his hand.

He has been in the military camp for the past few days, leaving all the preparations to Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er.

He was going to propose a marriage in a while, so he opened the gift list to see what he knew.

But it didn't matter at first glance, and he was taken aback, because the total value of the items on the gift list was at least 1000 taels.

"Not much." Fat Miao'er waved his hand.

Li Xiaodao is the first in their family to get married, so he must be beautiful.

"Brother, the matchmaker is here, let's go." Liu Ye'er walked in and said.

"Okay." Li Xiaodao nodded.

"Let's go!" Fat Miao'er looked excited.

A group of people headed for Yang's mansion with a set of gifts.

At this time, the Yang family was already ready to stop, because Li Xiaodao had already informed Yang Ruyi and told her the date of marriage proposal.

in the hall.

The matchmaker first said some auspicious words, mainly praising Li Xiaodao.

Then the matchmaker asked Xiner if she agreed to the marriage.

Although known in advance, none of these processes should be missed, because this is etiquette.

After Xin'er nodded in agreement, the matchmaker took out the engagement letter, and both parties signed their names, and the marriage proposal was completed.

After the two sides exchanged Geng Tie, Fat Miao'er and his party left.

After the matchmaker matched the two's birth dates, Li Xiaodao could go to Yang's family with the betrothal gift.

Then select a few auspicious days for welcoming the relatives, and negotiate with the Yang family.

In the end, Li Xiaodao discussed with the Yang family and decided to marry Yang Ruyi in the spring of next year.

……

The weather gradually became colder, and it was winter in a blink of an eye. The river was frozen, cargo ships could no longer pass, and the compass was not so busy.

Now he often travels between Linjiang Mansion and Lin'an Mansion, planning how to deal with the Liu family.

Now that Li Xiaodao has become the general manager and is married to the Yang family, the confidence of the few people is even stronger.

"Third brother, is everything going well?" Fat Miao'er asked.

"Successfully, I have already contacted various drugstores, as well as medicinal material merchants that compete with the Liu family. When the time comes to make a move together, the Liu family will definitely suffer heavy losses." Luo Pan looked longingly.

"That's good, I will trouble the third brother." Fat Miao'er said.

"Small idea." Compass waved his hand indifferently.

"Third brother, the charcoal is almost used up, you can find someone to send a letter back, and ask Uncle Qiang to send another cart." Fat Miao'er said.

"Good!" Compass nodded.

Now the number of charcoal kilns in their family has increased to [-], basically monopolizing the charcoal business in Yulin County, and there is a great tendency to develop to surrounding counties.

The charcoal used by Fat Miao'er was naturally made by themselves, and Zhu Qiang drove the carriage to deliver it.

"Fat Miao'er, when are we going back to Dashi Village?" Compass asked.
