Lady Wan Guan

After they settled in, the food and drinks arrived.

Xiang Zhenye assumed the posture of an elder: "Xiao Jiang, where are you from and what do you do for a living?"

Jiang Shi said with a respectful attitude: "Uncle, I am from Ningchuan. I opened a cloth shop in the capital and run it on a small business."

"Are you from the Jiang family in Ningchuan?" Xiang Baoyi was surprised.

Jiang Shi chuckled: "There are many people named Jiang in Ningchuan, but there is only one family that can be called the Ningchuan Jiang family."

Xiang Baoyi was very disappointed and thought it was the Jiang family of Ningchuan. If it was true, it would be very prosperous.

That's right, how could such an ordinary girl like Ruoruo fall in the eyes of the Ningchuan Jiang family.

Sigh... What a joy.

Jiang Haihua asked: "Ruoruo, I heard that you opened a Sanxitang pharmacy in the capital?"

Lin Ruoruo: "Cousin, who did you listen to? I didn't open this Sanxitang Pharmacy. It was opened by Qingping County Chief and the Vice President of the Royal Hospital. I'm just one of the doctors."

"Then why use the name Sanxitang?"

"At the beginning, Qingping County mainly opened medicine halls and was worried about choosing a name. I casually mentioned Sanxitang. The owner of Qingping County thought it was good, so he used it. I couldn't keep the Sanxitang left by my father and let Sanxitang be used. It’s just a thought that this name continues to exist.”

Jiang Haihua was dubious.

"Ruoruo, you work under the head of Qingping County. Your monthly salary is quite high, right? I heard that the housing and land prices in the capital are very expensive. Doesn't your house cost a lot of money?" Jiang Lin asked tentatively.

"This house is not mine, it was rented by Jiang Shi. I have no place to live now, so I live in the medicine hall. Jiang Shi is the same, he can only live in a shop, but it doesn't matter, we all have the money and we can save money." With a few years' money, you can always buy a house in the capital. It doesn't matter if it's smaller, as long as you have a place to live."

Jiang Shi agreed: "Ms. Lin is right. I will work hard to save money. Sooner or later we will have a real home."

"Wait a minute." Xiang Zhenye said: "Xiao Jiang, my niece has left a child like Ruoruo. Her marriage, as my uncle, must be taken care of for her. You see, if you want the family to have no money, Although our family is doing some small business to make a living, we can't even provide Ruoruo with a shelter from the wind and rain, so my uncle will have to think about the matter between you two."

"Yes, Ruoruo, marrying a woman is equivalent to reincarnation for the second time. Now you are working under the master of Qingping County. You have a bright future. You must be careful when marrying. Your aunt originally showed you a family. Although the husband of that family is bad Yu Xing, but my family is rich, if you are willing, they are willing to give you a gift of three hundred taels, and you will have no worries about food and drink in the future."

Jiang Shi was so angry that he dared to marry Ruoruo to another family in front of him, even though he was a lame man.

Lin Ruoruo's face turned red with anger.

"Aunt, I invite you here this time to discuss my marriage with Jiang Shi. If you are willing to be a witness, then stay. If not, then please come back. No need to say anything else."

Jiang Lin frowned: "You kid, how can you talk? Your father and mother are gone. My aunt has the right and responsibility to make the decision for your marriage. Can she still harm you?"

Xiang Zhenye now unites the front with the Jiang Lin family: "Your aunt is right. Now that you only have your uncle and your aunt left, we will naturally make the decision for you about your marriage. Xiao Jiang, don't blame your uncle." My father-in-law said something bad, but we definitely hope that Ruoruo can marry into a good family and have enough food and clothing in the future, so that we can be worthy of her parents who died young."

If Lin Ruoruo wanted to refute, Jiang Shi's hand held hers under the table and signaled her not to be angry: "Ruoruo, you go and have a rest first. I'll discuss the marriage with my uncle and aunt."

Lin Ruoruo knew that Jiang Shi was afraid that she would be embarrassed here, but she was even more afraid that her uncle and aunt would unscrupulously embarrass Jiang Shi in her absence, so she shook her head. The worst case scenario is to chase people away.

Since Lin Ruoruo refused to leave, Jiang Shi didn't force it anymore and said with a smile: "My uncle and aunt are right. Ruoruo's parents left early. A little girl of thirteen years old had all her family property taken away. How did she survive? Relying on the support of her uncle and aunt? You didn't help her when she was in the most difficult time, and now everyone has stepped forward to make plans for her. These uncles and aunts are really good at it. "

"Jiang Shi, what do you mean? Have you ever talked to an elder like this?" Xiang Baoyi jumped up first.

"That's right, we Ruoruo are from the Qingping County Lord. Are you, a small businessman from a small family, worthy of her?" Jiang Haihua also shouted. Grandma Wang, who had been standing aside, couldn't help but laughed.

Mrs. Jiang Lin glared at Grandma Wang fiercely: "You servant girl is so rude. Master is talking, why are you laughing?"

Grandma Wang said: "My master is the head of Qingping County and is not here."

Jiang Linshi: Uh...

Unexpectedly, this old servant girl turned out to be the owner of Qingping County.

"This marriage is favored by the County Lord, and it is the County Lord's decision. Now that you want to make the decision, why not talk to the County Lord?" said Grandma Wang.

Jiang Lin's misfire.

She also hopes to gain a relationship with the county lord through Ruoruo and find a future for her son so as not to offend the county lord.

Xiang Zhenyeye didn't expect that this Xiao Jiang was actually the person favored by the county boss, so it would be difficult to object.

So he said: "It's the county master's wish, and we also believe in the county master's vision. But Xiao Jiang, our Ruoruo family is from a medical family and has a dignified appearance. If you want to marry her, you must have three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, and the betrothal gift must not be less." .”

"What does uncle mean, how much is the appropriate betrothal gift?"

Xiang Zhenye said: "We have to discuss this."

Jiang Lin: "It can't be less than five hundred taels."

Xiang Zhenye nodded in agreement.

"I would like to ask, if this betrothal gift is given, who will it belong to?"

"Of course it is..." Jiang Lin blurted out. Considering that the Xiang family must also get a share of the pie, she changed the second half of the sentence to: "Of course we will keep it."

Jiang Shi nodded understandingly: "Since you have accepted the betrothal gift, is it up to you to pay for the dowry?"

Suddenly, Xiang Zhenye and Jiang Linshi fell silent.

Obviously, they only wanted to receive the bride price and did not want to pay the dowry.

Jiang Haihua said shamelessly: "If such a good girl from our family Ruoruo can marry you, it is a blessing you have earned in your previous life. Why do you need a dowry? You won't marry without a dowry?"

"Marry, of course I want to marry. Even if I sell the pot, I will marry. I will pay you five hundred taels. After you accept the betrothal gift, go to the government to issue the marriage certificate. You will not have to pay the dowry. From now on, if Ruoruo follows me, I will follow you. It doesn’t matter, is this possible?”

Seeing Jiang Shi agreeing so readily, everyone murmured in their hearts, feeling that what they wanted was less.

"Well, I didn't think carefully just now. According to the rules of our Jiangcheng, the betrothal gift for an outstanding girl like Ruoruo must be at least 800 taels." Jiang Lin changed her mind.

Lin Ruoruo was blushing at her aunt's shamelessness: "Aunt, how could you go back on your word?"

Jiang Lin said calmly: "Ruoruo, my aunt is doing this for your own good. The amount of the betrothal gift represents how much the man values ​​you."

Grandma Wang was left speechless. Mr. Jiang is extremely rich. He will give you 80,000 taels, not to mention 800 taels, but the problem is that you cannot handle this wealth.
