Chapter 1072: Proposing Marriage
The people looked at the huge team. They had never seen such a large lineup before. They became interested and followed the team.
The long team was surrounded by people on both sides, and now it looked more like a long dragon. Even the drum band in front became excited.
Shaking his head and blowing the instrument in his hand set off the whole atmosphere.
Even the Yongning Marquis Mansion in the distance could hear the sounds of festive drums and music. I didn't know whose wedding it was, but it sounded quite lively.
And the sound was getting closer and closer, as if it had stopped at the door of his house, with no intention of leaving.
Just as Marquis Yongning was stretching his neck to look outside, the gatekeeper ran in with a happy look on his face.
"My Lord, great joy! Someone has come to propose marriage!"
The servant rushed in with a happy face, pointing at the gate, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
I was just thinking about such a large lineup and didn't know whose house they were going to, but it turned out that they were heading towards their house.
Thinking of the lively scene outside, she felt extremely happy. Even the Marquis' wife stood up with a happy look on her face.
"Oh? Which prefecture are you from?"
She also stretched her neck and looked outside. Since he came to propose marriage, he must be after her unmarried daughter.
Judging from the lively atmosphere outside, he must be from a well-off family. I wonder which family he belongs to.
Marquis Yongning hurriedly stood up and walked out with a group of people. As soon as he reached the door, he heard a burst of singing and shouting.
"Qin Zhanshan, the adopted brother of Princess Chen, the adopted son of Prime Minister Qin, and a student of the Imperial Tutor, is proposing marriage to the Marquis of Yongning. I am willing to offer a betrothal gift of one million taels and ask for the hand of Xiao Yingying, the Second Miss of the Xiao family. I hope you will grant my approval!"
Feng Wu took a big loudspeaker and shouted at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid that the people around him couldn't hear him.
Although Xiaoshan has no achievements now, he has a strong background and reporting all of this shows that he has a strong background.
I have to say that the reaction was quite good. After hearing it, the people all opened their mouths in surprise.
Although some people know a little about Xiaoshan, he is far less famous than the big names reported before.
When they heard that it was related to so many people, everyone looked at Xiaoshan.
It turns out that the young man in the white robe has connections with so many powerful people, and his background is extremely strong.
Marquis Yongning and the others standing at the door were also stunned. They were obviously shocked by the previous lineup and did not expect such a grand ceremony.
He was even more surprised by Feng Wu's words. He originally thought that he was proposing marriage for his eldest daughter, after all, his eldest daughter was not married yet. He never expected that he was proposing marriage for the second daughter who was unwanted by that family.
And I just heard that the betrothal gift is one million taels. I don’t know if I heard it right. Even if the eldest daughter is the legitimate daughter, she cannot give such a large betrothal gift.
How could an abandoned woman give so much betrothal gifts? Just when the group was in a daze, Qin Chuchu came over with Xiaoshan.
Marquis Yongning was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and bowed with his entire family.
"Princess Chen, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the hill beside her and frowned slightly.
When my daughter wanted to marry him, she really didn't think much of him.
I didn't expect this guy to be so capable. Not only did he invite Princess Chen, he also brought such a heavy betrothal gift.
Seeing the contempt in Marquis Yongning's eyes, Qin Chuchu glanced at Feng Wu beside her.
Feng Wu hurriedly brought up the tray in his hand.
"My Lord, this one million taels of silver is the betrothal gift from our Young Master Zhan Shan. In addition, there is also a five hundred taels of dowry from our princess to Miss Yingying, also worth one million taels. Please accept it!"
As Feng Wu spoke, he pointed to the long queue outside the gate.
With such grandeur, I’m afraid there’s no other place like this in the capital.
Even if the princess gets married, it would be no different. If this old man still doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will be criticized by everyone.
Looking at the thick stack of banknotes on the tray, not only Marquis Yongning was moved, but even his wife's eyes were shining blue.
There have been severe droughts in recent years, which have not only reduced a lot of income, but also caused continuous outflow of money, even though the mansion looks prosperous on the surface.
But in reality, it has almost become an empty shell. This one million taels is not a small sum even when the mansion was at its richest.
What's more, now that we have this money, we can solve the boss's problem.
The sons behind him were also staring at her with wide eyes. They didn't expect that the rag-and-bone thing they divorced was actually worth so much money.
When he looked at Xiaoshan, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
What a fool! With so much money, he could find any good woman he wanted, but he just picked up the ones left over by others.
Even Xiao Qingyun and his mother, Aunt Liu, were surprised. They didn't expect that their daughter would be so blessed.
Especially Xiao Qingyun, he didn't expect that Xiaoshan would value his sister so much, even though he doesn't hold any official position now.
But those who know him well know that he is definitely not an ordinary person. With his talent and knowledge, it won't be long before he will stand out.
Seeing that the whole family's eyes were fixed on the banknotes, Qin Chuchu sneered in her heart, but still had a faint smile on her face.
"My Lord, I came here today to propose marriage on behalf of my brother. He has his eye on Miss Yingying. I beg you to help this couple get together."
As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Wu, who hurried to the door and greeted them. Boxes with big red flowers on them were carried in by everyone.
In a short while, the huge yard was filled with big red boxes, so much so that there was no room for them, and they were piled up as high as a hill.
Once again, everyone in front of him was shocked, especially the eldest lady Xiao Qingqing.
Looking at the huge boxes piled up as high as a mountain, I felt extremely jealous. How could that piece of junk Xiao Yingying be worth so much money?
Even the worldly-wise Marquis Yongning was shocked, but he managed it well.
"Princess Chen, please come in!"
We have to invite people in to chat. This is not the place to talk.
Everyone followed him into the hall, but when they turned around, their eyes were still fixed on the big boxes in the yard.
What a rare person! That's worth one million taels!
I think there must be a lot of good things in there, it would be great if I could keep them all.
Qin Chuchu was invited to the hall and sat down with Yongning Hou according to their seniority.
Looking at the one million taels of silver on the tray, it was hard for Marquis Yongning to ignore it.
Although it was extremely rare, his face did not show much joy, but rather he looked quite serious.
Just because Qin Chuchu is Han Muchen's princess, she doesn't intend to agree to this matter easily.
Qin Chuchu felt sarcastic in her heart as she watched the old man stealing glances at the banknotes.
“………………”
The greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and he thought he was pretending well.
But the Marquis's wife had a smile on her face. She was very happy when she thought that the little bitch was worth so much silver.
Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Chuchu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Marquis Yongning again.
"I wonder what the Marquis thinks?"
