Chapter 281 What else can I do?
These two birthmarks are exactly what my two sons had. Although they are slightly different in shape, their positions are almost the same.
In the eyes of Qu Zhiwen and Chen, this child probably came with the thoughts of their two sons from the afterlife.
So, the couple decided to name their daughter Sisi.
The saddest, but also the most beautiful thing in this world is missing someone.
Seeing that Qu Zhiwen and Chen were both happy because of Qu Sisi, everyone naturally didn't mention anything else and just said some words of congratulations. In addition, their attention was focused on Kang and Qin Jiashu.
After all, the fact that Kang is still unmarried at an old age has always been a matter of curiosity for others, and there has been a lot of speculation.
Some say Kang has a habit of polishing mirrors and doesn't like men. Some say Kang was hurt by a heartless man when she was young, so she has no interest in love anymore...
It can be said that they have heard a lot over the years.
But now, Kang brought back a man, and from the looks of it, it seemed that they were going to discuss marriage.
Kang is usually cheerful and free-spirited, capable and good at making money, and is also good at maintaining good manners. Everyone likes Kang and is genuinely happy for her at this moment.
However, it is inevitable that people are curious about Qin Jiashu's identity.
Kang introduced it generously.
He was born in the capital, a bastard. After his father and biological mother passed away, he and his brothers separated and lived on their own. They were given an ancestral home, a farm and two shops, which made them a wealthy family, but they had no achievements of their own.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
When it comes to marriage, family background is one aspect, but the most important thing is whether the husband's family is easy to get along with. In this case, you don't have to serve your parents-in-law, and you have some savings, so you can live a simple life behind closed doors, which is indeed great.
Moreover, the other party is from the capital, so he can already live a moderately wealthy life. Even if it is an ancestral property, it shows that his ancestors were extremely capable.
It is good to lean on a big tree for shade. Even if it is a side branch, if there is any problem, the direct line will lend a hand...
In short, life is not too bad! Everyone praised Qin Jiashu for his handsome appearance and good temperament, and praised Kang for his good vision in choosing such a good family...
Qu Sisi had been awake for most of the day, and after being taken away by the wet nurse to be fed, she fell into a sound sleep.
Kang accompanied Chen and carried Qu Sisi to the yard to sleep.
"This Mr. Qin Wu seems to be a nice person. There are many people here today, and he did not make any mistakes in etiquette. He seems more stable than the one in my family." As Chen said this, she covered Qu Sisi with a small quilt, moved her little body, and let her lie on her side.
Moved by the others, Qu Sisi frowned and pouted. Seeing this, Kang reached out and patted her on the back gently, "Maybe it's because of your background. You have to be cautious since you were young."
In a wealthy family, life is difficult for a concubine's son. If he doesn't do well, his life will be extremely hard.
Chen nodded, "Has Auntie visited Master Qin Wu's home?"
Although Master Qin Wu is probably not a liar, his property, such as a house, a farm, and two shops, can be large or small and there is no fixed quantity.
A house with five courtyards is different from one with one courtyard, a farm of a hundred acres is very different from one of a thousand acres, and the business of one shop can easily be very different.
Although her aunt did not care about money, marriage was the second most important event for a woman after reincarnation. Chen still hoped that Qin Jiashu's family would be more financially stable so that she would feel more at ease.
"No, I didn't care about it." Kang disagreed. "I don't plan to live in the capital for a long time in the future, so I don't care about these things. Besides, what does it matter if his family is rich? Even if his family is rich, can it be richer than mine?"
Chen: "..."
It sounds a bit Versailles, but it’s true!
Kang's business is quite big. Apart from other things, just looking at the skewers business, she has grown to over 80 stores in the past two years. To describe her business as making a fortune is quite appropriate.
The richest family in Hedong Prefecture is none other than the Kang family.
The financial resources of most people are simply not as good as hers.
As the two were talking, the maid Qiuyue walked in and said, "Madam, I have already counted all the gifts sent by the guests today. There is nothing else, but..."
Qiuyue glanced at Kang and said in a somewhat unnatural voice, "It's just that the gift sent by Qin Wuye is a little special. Madam, would you like to take a look?"
"What's so special about it?" Chen was a little surprised.
"It's just... I've never seen this thing before..." Qiuyue was a little entangled, "Maybe I'm just too ignorant."
"Then bring it here and let me have a look." Kang said, and then turned to Chen, "To be honest, he prepared this gift on his own. I don't even know what it is, so I just want to take a look at it."
Let’s see what it is and what kind of special law it is.
When Qiuyue heard Kang speak, she immediately felt relieved. After bowing, she called a few capable maids to carry the things over.
There were two brocade boxes, one large and one small. The large one was half a person's height, while the small one was only one tenth of that.
Kang and Chen opened the brocade box respectively.
The larger one contained a coral, which was so huge and brilliant that one could not take their eyes away.
The smaller one contained a porcelain jar. When it was opened, it contained pieces of light yellow, gelatinous substance.
Kang smelled it and said, "It seems to be a snow clam."
Chen was more and more surprised. Her eyes moved back and forth between the coral and the snow clam for a long time before she closed her mouth. "These two things are the first time I've seen them."
"Corals are found in the sea and are extremely difficult to salvage. Even if they can be salvaged, most of them are of poor quality. Corals of this quality are indeed rare. I have seen one with similar quality to this one before, but it was much smaller in size."
Kang said, "This snow frog is a tribute, and it is extremely rare, not to mention this full jar..."
The gift Qin Jiashu gave this time was indeed generous.
But the question is, where did he get such a thing? Chen reached out and patted Kang, "Aunt, this Qin Wuye's family must be extraordinary."
Unusual? Kang raised his eyebrows.
How extraordinary could it be? The worst that could happen was that he was a little richer than she thought? What else could that be... ——In mid-September, the weather was getting cooler.
The Third Prince and He Yanxiu are preparing to return home.
The reconstruction of Hongzheng Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures after the flood and the subsequent outbreak of epidemics have all been completely resolved, and there is no need for them to stay here any longer.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, so they must arrive in the capital before then.
After packing up and saying goodbye, the Third Prince, He Yanxiu, Su Yujin and their party set out early in the morning of that day.
As soon as the carriage walked out of the gate of the posthouse, the three people were stunned by the scene before them.
