Chapter 226 Bean Sprouts
After Li Sandong left, Qin Yunyi's face turned cold.
The Cheng family is really a thief with evil intentions.
He asked Yuan Qing: "Have Cheng Er and his gang been caught?"
"They have been caught, five in total, and all have been sent to the county government office."
“Inform the gatekeeper that anyone from the Cheng family who comes to beg for mercy should tell the Cheng family to let Cheng Er and his family leave Anping County. Our Qin family will not be angry with the Cheng family’s direct lineage. If they beg for mercy, then the entire Cheng family’s business in Anping County will not be able to continue.
In addition, if any servant in the mansion dares to gossip about what happened today, they will be beaten to death."
"yes."
Yuan Qing responded and left.
Qin Yunyi went to Qin Yuzhen's yard.
Qin Zhili was comforting her.
Qin Yun also said: "Since my father is here, I just happen to have something to say to you, so I don't have to go looking for you."
"What's up?"
Qin Yunyi repeated what Li Sandong said, and Qin Yuzhen blushed instantly.
She lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief to hide her excitement.
Qin Zhili asked: "Really?"
"Yes, he also said that he would come to propose marriage in a few days."
Qin Zhili looked at Qin Yuzhen and asked, "Zhenzhen, what do you mean?"
"I think Brother Sandong is pretty good."
Qin Zhili slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "Okay, since you like her, then Dad has no objection. Since Miss Li was named a county lady, I'm afraid many people want to marry into their family. But I'm not after the title of county lady. I'm attracted to this young man Sandong. He has good character and is down-to-earth. I feel relieved to promise Zhenzhen to him."
Qin Yuzhen was overjoyed and waited for Li Sandong to come and propose marriage.
On the other hand, after Li Sandong got home, he did not mention his injury, for fear of worrying his family. He only said that he met Qin Yunyi when delivering goods, and Qin Yunyi invited him to visit the Qin Mansion, so he went and has stayed there until now.
During this time, he accidentally knocked over the teacup, so Qin Yunyi took a set of clothes and put them on himself.
Seeing that he was fine, his family felt relieved.
Then Li Sandong said that he wanted to propose to Qin Yuzhen. Everyone was stunned and did not react for a while.
Only Li Wanyue had an expression that said, 'This person finally has the courage to speak out.'
After Li Youshan and his wife came to their senses, they didn't know what to say.
Wow, good fortunes came to their son and daughter unexpectedly. First, the daughter married the county magistrate, and then the son caught the eye of a girl from the Qin family, one of the richest families in the county.
All of a sudden, both of them had their marriages settled.
His family was also happy for him, as he was already eighteen years old and it was time for him to get married.
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "What are you waiting for, Dad and Mom, let's go find a matchmaker tomorrow, prepare the gifts, and choose a time to come and propose marriage."
Zhao Suying nodded: "Okay, I'll find a matchmaker tomorrow."
Li Sandong was so happy that his mouth was stretched to his ears, and his brothers and sisters teased him.
The crowd then dispersed.
Li Wanyue dragged Li Sandong to the backyard and asked, "What happened today?"
Li Sandong didn't dare to hide the truth from his sister. He looked around and then whispered what happened.
Although Li Wanyue supported his behavior, she still felt it was dangerous.
She said, "You took too much risk this time. If you knew some martial arts, it would be fine, but you don't. Saving people is a good thing, but putting yourself in danger is not a good idea. If you encounter such a thing next time, you can tell the guys at Yuyanfang first and let them report it to the police instead of doing it yourself. If the two people who went out to fetch water and firewood suddenly come back, do you know the consequences?"
"I didn't think too much at the time. I just felt that Cheng Er looked familiar. And he would definitely not kidnap an insignificant person from the backyard of the shop. But Yuzhen was there that day, and I was afraid that the person kidnapped was her. I was too anxious to care about so many things. Besides, they had a donkey cart. If I went back to Yuyanfang to report the news, wouldn't it be difficult if I couldn't find the donkey cart when I came out?
Besides, I am not completely unprepared. I have chili lime powder on me, which is very effective."
Li Wanyue sighed: "In short, if you want to help others in the future, you must first ensure your own safety."
"I understand, sis."
Li Sandong smiled innocently.
After breakfast the next day, Zhao Suying went to find a reliable matchmaker.
You don't need to prepare too much for the wedding gift, as long as the gesture is there.
Three days later, he took the matchmaker to the Qin Mansion to propose marriage.
Since Qin Yunyi had already told Qin Zhili about it in advance, Qin Zhili naturally would not object.
Not to mention that the Li family's business is getting better and better now, Li Sandong has a sister who is a county lady, and in the future he will have a brother-in-law who is a top scholar and will be a county magistrate.
Take Li Sandong for example. He is handsome, down-to-earth, hardworking and motivated. He looks like a reliable person. His own daughter also likes him, so he is happy to see it happen.
The process went smoothly, the marriages of the children were settled, and both parties could put their worries aside.
Then Li Youshan and his wife became worried about the betrothal gift.
The whole family sat in the main room to discuss the matter.
Li Youshan said, "Although Master Qin said that the betrothal gift is just a formality, we can't be too stingy. The money in the family is earned every month, and it will be taken away as a dowry when you get married in the future. Sandong, you have saved 1,600 taels, and we will give you another 400 taels, making it 2,000 taels, and add some jewelry. What do you think?"
Although this is not enough for the Qin family, it is also very sincere.
Li Sandong nodded: "Of course, I won't use my sister's money, Dad and Mom, you can keep your money, and the 1,600 taels I saved can be used as the betrothal gift."
Zhao Suying asked: "Yueyue, what do you think?"
Li Wanyue said: "How about this, the betrothal gift is one thousand and one taels, which means picking one out of a thousand, or being devoted to each other for a lifetime, and then choose a few pieces of cloth and jewelry from the emperor's imperial gift, which will show your importance to Yuzhen. After all, these cannot be bought, and if you buy some other things, it will be almost enough.
We have quite a bit of savings at home, so I don’t need to bring that much. Ten thousand taels will be enough.”
Li Dachuan agreed: "One in a thousand, this one is good."
Wang Guixiang and Sun Xiuqin were listening on the side and had no objection. After all, Qin Yuzhen was the daughter of Master Qin, and her dowry would definitely be quite a lot.
Besides, the family is different now than when they got married, and the betrothal gift that Sandong paid was also earned by himself.
Once the betrothal gift is finalized, everything else will be easy.
When Old Lady Shen heard what Zhao Suying said about picking the best candidate from thousands, she slapped her thigh.
Why didn't I hear this earlier? If I had heard it earlier, I would have reminded A-Yan to increase the betrothal gift by one tael. It's a good omen to choose one in a million.
After the big issue was resolved, Li Wanyue began to think about cooking.
Put the mung beans in a pot, soak them in warm water, and place them against the wall.
Soak some soybeans as well.
The next morning, the mung beans and soybeans were moist and plump, and the mung beans had little white sprouts growing out.
Li Wanyue asked Mrs. Zheng to wash the flat bamboo basket used for drying, cover it with a layer of gauze, spread the mung beans in a thin layer, cover it with a piece of cotton cloth, and then water it again.
Press a flat stone on it to make the bean sprouts grow better.
Finally, cover it with a piece of black oilcloth and place it against the wall where the temperature will be more suitable.
Ask Mrs. Zheng to water the bean sprouts twice a day through a towel.
