"I'm not worried about the marriage report. I'm mainly worried about the proposal." He Tingjun scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "I've never experienced this kind of thing, and my elders aren't here. I'm just worried that Yun Qiao's parents will feel neglected."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Your parents are both busy, and the distance from the southwest to Songjiang is over 4,000 kilometers. The actual situation doesn't allow them to come and handle it in person. At most, they can take some time off during the wedding to come and show up." Zeng Qi comforted He Tingjun, "Don't worry, Yunqiao's family isn't stubborn and will understand your difficulties."
He Tingjun hummed: "Yes, Yun Qiao is very kind, she understands me very well."
"Then what do I need to prepare in advance? And what about the betrothal gift? How much is appropriate?"
"The bride price is usually determined based on local customs and the financial situation of both families. There's no set rule. Generally, they pick an auspicious number, like 10, 88, or 99. Some numbers are lower, like 28 or 30, while others are higher, like 188 or 299. For even higher amounts, like Commander Liang's niece Cui Xuezhi, the Dong family gave her a full 100. I can't say for sure; it depends on how your two families negotiate."
He Tingjun said: "Yun Qiao has no requirements for the betrothal gift. She said any amount is fine. But I want to give a little more. After all, my money will be hers after we get married, so it's okay to give it to her in advance."
"You are really honest. You know how to love your wife." Zeng Qi was a little envious.
When she first married Lao Yang, he wasn't so secretive about her; she didn't even know how much money he had. It wasn't until they'd been married four or five years, and had their second and third children, that he slowly handed over the family's financial control to her.
Zeng Qi thought for a moment and said, "Young girls are shy and always feel uncomfortable discussing money. We'll have to discuss the betrothal gift with her parents. How about this? I'll go to Yun Qiao's parents tomorrow to ask their opinions. I'll also ask if there are any special customs in their hometown that need to be observed. We'll just go along with their wishes. It's always a good idea to cater to their needs. What do you think?"
He Tingjun nodded quickly, "I think it's okay, sister-in-law, you are really thoughtful."
Zeng Qi smiled and said, "That's settled for now. But, Tingjun, after we get married, you have to treat Yunqiao with respect. Yunqiao is a gentle and sensible child. If you dare to bully her in the future, I won't forgive you."
He Tingjun said seriously: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I love her so much, how could I bully her."
Besides, my brother-in-law Qin Zheng is watching us.
This guy's fighting power is not low.
Not to mention bullying Yun Qiao, even if he spoke to Yun Qiao a little louder, this guy would probably get angry.
"I feel relieved when you say that." Zeng Qi smiled and patted He Tingjun's shoulder. "Your brother Yang has been trying to bring you two together for the past two years. We are very happy for you two to be able to have a happy ending."
Afterwards, the two discussed some details and decided to wait until tomorrow when Zeng Qi learned about Yun Qiao's father's wedding preferences, and then choose an auspicious day to formally propose marriage.
The next day at noon, Zeng Qi appeared at Yun Qiao's door on time.
Although he came to ask for his father's opinion, Yun Qiao, the person involved, did not need to avoid him.
Like Yun Qiao, Feng Juan had no requirements for the amount of the bride price.
Qin Lin and Qin Zheng, father and son, both did well at their jobs, and their monthly salary was not a small sum. The family had no shortage of money, and they did not expect to make money by marrying off their daughter.
Her family is marrying off their daughter, not selling her, so the bride price is just about right, just follow the crowd.
Feng Juan asked Qin Zheng to give the betrothal gift under her supervision.
One hundred and ten, or one hundred and ninety-nine, is taken from the word "dashun", which means long and long.
She had only one request: "When proposing marriage, have Tingjun prepare a few gifts and bring one copy of each. We're from Henan Province, and Henan Province has a tradition of celebrating gifts like this."
There are not many such gifts.
Since this is popular, let’s prepare for it.
Everything is subject to the woman's request.
