"Fifty taels of betrothal money, a bouquet of peonies, a pair of live wild geese, and a set of wedding attire."
"Skin-nourishing powder, peach blossom rouge, peach blossom hair oil, rose essential oil, three boxes of lip balm, goat milk silk soap for ten yuan, goat milk pearl soap for ten yuan..."
The elder of the clan became more and more proud as he thought she was marrying a peasant from the countryside.
I never thought that they were such a wealthy family.
This kind of betrothal gift is probably rare in the county. I didn't expect that a farmer's family could come up with so much betrothal gift.
"Kerou's sister-in-law also has a box in her hand."
A woman exclaimed, followed Qiu Yinong to Mo Kerou, and opened the brocade box.
"Sister-in-law, these are the eight tokens my eldest brother prepared for you."
"A hairpin is a gift for a wife, symbolizing a lifelong companionship.
A sachet is a token of thought, implying that one's heart belongs to someone.
A bracelet is a token of an oath, implying lifelong protection.
A wooden comb is a token of love, implying a long life together.
A robe is an object of love, implying mutual affection.
A pair of earrings, a cherished item, signifies a lifetime of companionship.
A ring is a token of love and symbolizes a match made in heaven.
A heart lock is a symbol of loyalty, signifying eternal love and togetherness! "
The rings, sachets, hairpins, and robes were all made by Qiu Yinong herself, and the others were either bought by her or owned by the space.
"What a generous gesture! Is this really a country bumpkin?"
"I think I've seen this aunt-in-law from the Mo family before. She seems to be the fake daughter of the Zhao family..."
"Tsk tsk, it seems the rumors are true. Although she has returned to her own home, the Zhao family still treats her as their own daughter."
"Well, it can be seen that the Zhao family has given her a lot of good things. Tsk tsk, what a silly girl! She used them all for her eldest brother's wedding?"
Qiu Yinong listened to these words but ignored them.
Mrs. Hu's face was full of smiles. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the happier she became, and the more grateful she became to her sister-in-law.
At first, she was a little reluctant, but she didn't expect that her sister-in-law would find such a good family for her daughter.
Mo Kerou's cheeks flushed, and she looked at Qiu Hansheng with more and more joy.
After receiving the things given by Qiu Yinong, she turned around and went back to her room.
The betrothal gifts were also delivered to her room by her brothers. Looking at the jewelry and items, she was extremely happy.
Pork and other ingredients were used as ingredients for today's banquet. Mrs. Hu warmly greeted Qiu Yinong and his party.
Mo Niang spoke up: "Sister-in-law, why don't you let Yinong go to Kerou's place."
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she felt that she was too rude. She was just a little girl after all, and she actually left her in the hall to be stared at by everyone.
"Look at your aunt's brain. You have wronged our daughter." Mrs. Hu quickly apologized.
Qiu Yinong smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, auntie. I'm not the kind of noble lady who stays in her boudoir and never leaves."
"I used to go around the shops with my father on weekdays. Now that I have my own shop, it's impossible for me not to be around."
"I know. My daughter Qiao Yun said that the soap shop belongs to the girl, right?" Mrs. Hu said.
Qiu Yinong nodded, and Mo Niang smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to Kerou's room."
"Okay." Qiu Yinong didn't tell Qiu Hansheng and the others. Seeing that her eldest brother and the others had heard it, she didn't repeat it.
There were many girls accompanying Mo Kerou in her room. When she entered, she happened to see a girl who took advantage of the fact that Mo Kerou was surrounded by others and opened one of the brocade boxes.
"Hu Jiao, what are you doing?" Mo Niang couldn't believe her eyes.
This Hu Jiao is Hu's niece. When Mo Niang scolded her, Hu Jiao was frightened and trembled, and the brocade box in her hand fell heavily to the ground.
Qiu Yinong saw all of this, and it was obvious that Hu Jiao had deliberately let go of the box.
She even saw a hint of triumphant smile in Hu Jiao's eyes. Is this your trick?
The moment Hu Jiao let go of her hand, Qiu Yinong took a few steps forward and caught the falling brocade box with the instep of her foot.
"You!" Hu Jiao's face changed instantly, then recovered immediately.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, this hairpin would have fallen to the ground. I remember you are my cousin's sister-in-law, right?"
"Yes." Qiu Yinong bent down and took the brocade box in her hand.
It's quite interesting that my sister-in-law actually has a green tea cousin, huh...
Mo Niang walked over with an unexpected look on her face. This Hu Jiao has always liked to do these little tricks.
She has never liked Hu Jiao, as her behavior is too similar to that woman from before.
"Hu Jiao, these are Ke Rou's betrothal gifts, how can you open them privately?" Mo Niang's tone was stern, and Hu Jiao's eyes instantly turned red.
Hu Jiao said aggrievedly, "Aunt, I'm just curious about what my cousin's betrothal gifts are. I really didn't mean it."
"Today is a good day for Kerou, so please don't act like this."
"Besides, it was you who almost got into trouble in the first place. Don't make it seem like I bullied you."
Seeing that this trick didn't work and she didn't want to be kicked out, Hu Jiao had no choice but to stop pretending.
"Aunt, I was wrong. Please don't blame me. I won't cry." She said with a very strong look.
Although Mo Kerou didn't like her cousin very much, as her aunt said, today was her good day and they were all relatives so it wasn't appropriate to make things too awkward.
"Aunt, it's okay. There's nothing to lose anyway."
"You are Yinong, right? Thank you." Mo Kerou stood up and walked to Qiu Yinong, thanking her with a smile.
Qiu Yinong smiled at her and said sweetly, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. We will be a family from now on."
"Come and sit down." Mo Kerou pulled her to sit down, then glanced at her sister.
The latter nodded and pulled Hu Jiao to sit down.
“Wow, Sister Ke Rou, your sister-in-law is so beautiful.”
"Yeah, she looks like some rich girl."
"How old are you? What's your name?" The girls enthusiastically praised or asked, surrounding Qiu Yinong.
Qiu Yinong was a little overwhelmed by this enthusiasm, but she still politely replied, "My name is Qiu Yinong, and I'm fourteen."
"I was secretly watching just now. You're so calm. There are so many people around, but you're not scared at all."
"Unlike me, every time I meet the elders in my family, I am a little afraid to speak."
"Me too. My mom always says I'm like a log, but I just don't know what to say to the elders."
As the girls talked, it turned into a complaining session.
Seeing that they quickly reached an agreement, Mo Niang left the room with peace of mind.
Before leaving, he gave Mo Keqing another look, and the latter nodded and replied with a reassurance.
"Ms. Qiu, I heard that you are from the countryside. Are your family the local rich people in the village?" Hu Jiao started to make trouble again.
Qiu Yinong looked at her and said calmly, "You guessed wrong. We are just an ordinary country family."
"Okay, okay, you must be hungry, come and try the wedding cakes!" Mo Kerou took the plate that her mother had sent earlier and asked everyone to sit down and have some snacks.
