Chapter 1089: Showing off wealth
The hand-sewn sparkling crystal beads on the dress were clean and translucent, making Qiao Nan look sparkling and charming.
Qiao Zijin's first reaction to such a beautiful dress was, how much money would it cost to buy such a dress. The second reaction was, if this dress could be worn on her, she would definitely look better than Qiao Nan!
Qiao Zijin, who was staring at the dress on Qiao Nan, almost forgot why she had spent so much effort to walk into the door of the Zhu family.
Qiao Zijin forgot, but Qiao Nan would never forget: "Dad, we both know the situation in our family very well. The Zhai family did not look down on me. Many of these clothes and jewelry were bought for me by my mother-in-law. I think that whether the Zhai family values me or not may not necessarily be seen from the betrothal gift. What I care more about is the Zhai family's feelings for me. My mother-in-law has treated me like her own daughter. I will definitely have what Sister Zhai Hua has, and I may have something that Sister Zhai Hua may not have."
Dowry?
Will the Zhai family make Qiao Zijin fatter after paying the betrothal gift?
Qiao Nan is not unaware of the betrothal gift, but she just treats it like a dowry and has never mentioned this topic.
"Yes, yes, that's the situation. The chief's wife is so good to you. There is nothing to say." Qiao Dongliang nodded sincerely. Apart from anything else, in the past six months after the engagement, Miao Liang had already regarded Qiao Nan as a member of the Zhai family. She wanted to take Qiao Nan home and raise her herself. She wanted to send Qiao Nan all the delicious food, drinks and useful things.
It was also because of Miao Liang's attention to Qiao Nan that Qiao Dongliang agreed to the wedding banquet so readily.
Qiao Dongliang definitely felt deeply the Zhai family's kindness and love for Qiao Nan.
The Zhai family's love for Qiao Nan was definitely more actions than words.
"Dad, don't mention the betrothal gift. I'm going to marry Brother Zhai tomorrow. It's not good to bring it up now. It will hurt the reputation of both families. As for my problem, you don't have to worry about it. I really don't care about this little betrothal gift. I believe in Brother Zhai's feelings for me." After
all, when Qiao Dongliang proposed the betrothal gift, he kept saying that it was for his own good, and Qiao Nan couldn't say anything too unpleasant to shut Qiao Dongliang up.
She believed that no matter how confused her father was, his starting point when he mentioned the betrothal gift was really for her.
Unfortunately, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were standing next to her father.
With these two women present, the final beneficiary of the betrothal gift would definitely not be herself.
"Nannan, you can't say that. You are blinded by love now. You are irrational and unclear. That's why you think that as long as you marry Zhai Sheng, it doesn't matter whether there is a betrothal gift or not. This betrothal gift shows that the Zhai family values, recognizes and respects you. Nannan, listen to dad. We won't hurt you. We are all doing this for your own good."
Qiao Zijin walked forward with a smile on her face, and her hands stretched out obsessively, wanting to touch Qiao Nan's toast skirt.
Shi Qing narrowed her eyes, and with a "snap" sound, she slapped Qiao Zijin's hand away: "This is a new dress, just made. No matter how expensive the fabric is, it has a limit. The problem is that the price of the master's craftsmanship is unlimited. You have to know that the beads on this skirt, even if they are not diamonds, are pure natural crystal beads, and each one is worth dozens. If you drop one, it will be very troublesome to find someone to replace it."
"How many beads are there?" Qiao Zijin took a breath of cold air: "How expensive is this skirt?"
How many tens?
This is the price of her clothes at most!
Thinking that one of her clothes is only worth one bead on the skirt on Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin's heart feels like being stabbed several times, and it hurts bloody.
Qiao Nan is not wearing clothes, she is wearing silver and gold, right?
"You know nothing, I didn't say the most expensive one. These beads are not of average price." Shi Qing rolled her eyes: "No matter what, don't touch this skirt."
What if it is damaged?
Who let the Qiao family, they really can't afford to pay for this skirt.
Thinking of Qiao Dongliang not preparing any dowry for Qiao Nan, Shi Qing now dislikes Qiao Dongliang, this uncle.
As a father, what else can she say? She can only let Qiao Nan hold her nose and admit her fault.
Feeling Shi Qing's gaze, Qiao Dongliang stiffened his face and pulled Qiao Zijin: "Zijin, don't make trouble for Nannan."
After knowing that Qiao Nan's skirt was so expensive, even a grown man like Qiao Dongliang was shocked by the estimated price of this skirt.
"Dad, is there anything else? There will be a wedding banquet tomorrow, and Brother Zhai will come to pick me up. I have tried other clothes and want to rest early today, after all, I have to get up early tomorrow."
Seeing that Qiao Zijin's eyes were red and almost bleeding, Qiao Nan felt that her childish show-off was enough.
Too much is too little.
At most, she just wanted to make Qiao Zijin uncomfortable, and then let Qiao Zijin know that there are such luxury goods in the world.
Qiao Zijin knows more now. She can only make more requests when she is about to marry Chen Jun, which will put some pressure on the Chen family.
Qiao Dongliang couldn't wait any longer: "It's okay. As for the betrothal gift, you just need to figure it out. No matter what decision you make, don't worry, Dad will support you."
If they didn't all live in the same compound, it would only take Qiao Dongliang ten minutes to walk to the Zhai family. Otherwise, it would be too late for the bride to ask the groom about the betrothal gift the day before the wedding.
Similarly, if he didn't mention the betrothal gift today and waited until tomorrow to hold the wedding banquet, then Qiao Dongliang had better not mention the word betrothal gift in front of the Zhai family for the rest of his life.
Once this topic is brought up, both families will be embarrassed together.
Of course, compared to Qiao Dongliang who couldn't even give a dowry, the Zhai family could look better.
Marriage is a matter between two people, and it should be something that both families should prepare for together. The Qiao family didn't contribute a bit.
On the day of the wedding banquet, the relatives of both the groom and the bride went to the groom's house for the wedding banquet, which was equivalent to the groom's family taking care of the entire wedding.
The bride's relatives could just sit and eat like other ordinary guests.
With such a convenient wedding method, how many people in the world would be willing to marry their daughters off as soon as possible.
After understanding what Qiao Dongliang said, Qiao Nan turned around and smiled at Qiao Dongliang: "Okay, Dad, you should go to bed early today too."
"No, Dad, Nan Nan is not sensible, you can't let Nan Nan do whatever she wants..." Qiao Zijin was unwilling to accept it: "And Nan Nan, you will be the bride at your wedding tomorrow, so you will definitely need a bridesmaid. I'm your biological sister, so I'll be your bridesmaid. You should have prepared the bridesmaid dresses, right?"
