Chapter 703 You are happy
"Okay, okay, then let's go to Patriarch Han's house to propose marriage on the 28th." Qin Liupo was very happy. Going to the county town to propose marriage and get engaged, wouldn't she be able to have three days of paid leave?

She finally got the advantage of the new workshop!
but……

She stared at Qin Jie and reminded him, "You know the rules of our family. Our parents are old and can't do anything. We can only send people to propose marriage. We don't have the money or gifts to buy anything."

Qin Jie: "Just let your parents go to the Han family."

Seeing that Qin Liupo's face showed joy and then turned gloomy and looked sad, Qin Jie said first: "I brought new clothes for Dad and Mom. Dad and Mom have decent clothes to wear when they visit you."

Granny Qin Liu immediately became happy and said, "Brother Jie is really filial. It's worth it that when your mother gave birth to you, she had a difficult labor for three days and three nights."

It wasn't true at all, but she said that to every one of her kids.

Grandma Qin said, "In three days it will be the 28th. We must send someone to Chief Han's house as soon as possible to inform them so that they can prepare."

After the marriage is agreed upon privately, the two parties must agree on the exact date before the formal wedding.

Qin Jie said: "I will go and inform them in person tomorrow morning."

Grandma Qin asked worriedly, "It's so cold, and you just got back. Can you handle all this running around?"

Qin Jie smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Wu, we have been practicing martial arts with Uncle Wu since we were young, and we have eaten well in the past two years, so we have already made up for it. And going there in person will make the Han family happier."

While eating Qin's cakes, Granny Qin Liu said, "Don't worry about him, Sister-in-law Wu. Let him go. How can a new son-in-law not please his future father-in-law?"

Outsiders see that Ajie treats the Han family well, and if she bullies the Han family's daughter in the future, no one will believe it!
"Okay." Grandma Qin didn't persuade her any further.

Seeing that they had finished their business, Qin Xiaomi asked Qin Jie, "Uncle Jie, are the houses, shops and fields in the county still not allowed to be sold?"

Qin Jie nodded: "Yes, the adults said that they are afraid that the special envoy from the capital will blame us after he comes, so the properties involving the Feng and Yang families, as well as their relatives, must wait until the special envoy from the capital comes to close the case before they can be sold."

Then she said, "I'm sorry, niece."

Their family had always been living off their fifth uncle's family, and they were able to become wealthy because of their niece's generosity. However, when his niece asked him to help buy a property in the county town, he was unable to do so for a long time.

Qin Xiaomi waved her hand, indicating that it didn't matter, and asked again: "Is there any land for sale in Leibao Town and Junshi Town?"

"There are quite a few in these two places, and they are easy to buy." After being commissioned by Qin Xiaomi, Qin Jie and Xu Erjun have been inquiring about the sales of the land in Zhaipu.

And relying on the Han family, Qin Jie knows better than Xu Erjun.

Qin Jie took out a booklet and handed it to Qin Xiaomi: "There is land for sale, land that can be bought, and good houses, shops and fields. They are all written down here. Take a look."

Qin Xiaomi took it and looked at it, then nodded secretly. Qin Jie remembered it in great detail, even remembering which town and village had land for sale.

Qin Xiaomi pointed to two places on the booklet and said, "Let's buy the land on the Leiji Mountain in Leibao Town. If the mountain cannot be bought, then buy the land near the mountain. Buy as much as you can."

After purchasing the medicinal herbs, the government was afraid that wealthy families would buy up the mountains in large quantities, cutting off the villagers' source of income from digging and selling medicinal herbs, so it issued a document to suspend the sale of unowned mountains.

But the land near the mountain is land, not a mountain, so it can continue to be bought and sold.

"There is also Junshi Town. Buy the land with many strange rocks near Shilichang Village."

Qin Liupo immediately complained: "Fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law, you should control her. If she wastes money like this, she will be struck by lightning!"

"Leibao Town is a dangerous place that is struck by lightning every year. People in Leibao Town want to move away. Why are you still spending money to buy land in that shabby place? You really have a lot of money to burn!"

Qin Jie also frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Dalang.

Jiang Dalang nodded to him. Qin Jie knew what was going on, and asked Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin: "What did Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu say?"

Qin Xiaomi hurriedly said, "Grandpa and grandma, the land struck by lightning in Leibao Town is cheap. It only costs three hundred taels of silver to buy 500 acres. Just think of it as a birthday gift from your granddaughter. Please agree to it."

Because it was struck by lightning every year, that piece of land was sold as a barren wasteland. Three taels of silver could give you two acres of land.

Even this, it still can’t be sold.

After all, no one wants to be struck by lightning while planting crops.

Qin Liu Po: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, listen to what you said, it's really a sin. Isn't three hundred taels of silver money? If you really have too much money to burn, you can throw it to Liu Po ​​to spend. God will even remember your merit of respecting the elderly, which is better than you using it to commit sins!"

"Sixth Auntie, don't you want your dividends anymore?" Sometimes, Qin Xiaomi really wanted to send Qin Sixth Auntie on a trip to the underworld.

"Look, look, the elders are trying to persuade you with good intentions, but you are threatening me!" Auntie Qin was tough on the outside but timid on the inside. She stood up to get the food box Uncle Qin brought back. "Ignore you, girl. Sister-in-law, let's go deal with these leftovers."

Guan Shuli invited Uncle Qin to a banquet. There was half a table of dishes left uneaten, so naturally they packed them up and took them home for their family... They were not from wealthy families, so they didn't pretend. They had been used to eating leftovers since they were young.

In the front shop, Grandpa Qin finally nodded in agreement, and the matter of Qin Xiaomi asking Qin Jie to buy the land struck by thunder was settled.

Qin Jie also said: "It will be ready after the engagement banquet, so if my niece wants to regret it, she should do it as soon as possible."

Qin Xiaomi: "I won't regret it, Uncle Jie, go ahead and buy it."

If a place is struck by lightning every year, it is obvious that there is something wrong.

The ancients were superstitious and said that this place was struck by lightning, but she was a modern person in her first life and a queen in her second life. Whether from the perspective of modern science or ancient geomancy, it is clear that the underground of this place struck by lightning is not simple.

There must be either ancient tombs or mines underground.

All in all, it's worth buying.

There is also Junshi Town, which has many beautiful stones. The head of Shili Town even gave my family a Huangshi inkstone.

After Qin Xiaomi took a look, she determined that the yellow stone in the yellow stone inkstone was close to jade... However, even if there was a jade mine underground, the quality of the jade would not be very good, so it would be more valuable to invest in the land struck by lightning.

Jiang Dalang was also aware of the differences between Leibao Town and Junshi Town, but he did not dare to buy it in his own name, let alone remind Su Su, for fear that Su Su would use this to determine his identity.

Now that Susu has finally taken action, he can finally rest assured.

The next day, Qin Jie drove a carriage to the Han family early and informed them that the Qin family would come to propose marriage and arrange the engagement on the 28th.

In the countryside, things are not so particular. After the deal is made privately and the horoscopes are matched, the engagement will be done directly on the day of the proposal. It is not like in the aristocratic families where there is a lot of going through the process of seeing each other, proposing, offering betrothal gifts, asking for the name, offering good luck, and paying the betrothal gift.

Nazheng means engagement, and the woman becomes a member of the man’s family.

After that, the wedding date will be set, and then the betrothal gifts and the bride will be welcomed.

After the Han family learned the date for the Qin family's visit, they were both reluctant and happy... They were happy that after the engagement, their daughter would no longer be gossiped about being an old maid by relatives during this New Year.

On the 27th, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Uncle Qin and his wife, Qin Laoliu's family, and Qin Eryong and his wife got up early and prepared to go to the county town to stay for one night.

"Fifth Aunt said that we have to prepare in advance, otherwise we won't be able to arrive at the Han family until the afternoon of the 28th, which will miss the auspicious time." Qin Eryong said as he helped Qin Jie move the engagement gift into the carriage.

Seeing this, his wife laughed angrily: "Why did you move the gifts in first? It's so cold, we need to put two thick quilts in the carriage first, hurry up and move the things down!"

"Hey, wife, I was wrong. I'll move right away. Wait a minute." Qin Eryong shrank back. His wife's temper had been a little erratic lately. He was afraid, so after apologizing, he moved the things immediately.
