Hua Pozi found a highly respected fortune teller and said, "Old Zhao, it's time to live."
The fortune teller named Lao Zhao stroked his beard and took the horoscope from Hua Pozi.
"Oh, noble man?" The fortune teller took a look at the man's horoscope and spoke.
The flower lady nodded. "How is it? Are the two of you a good match?"
The fortune teller carefully studied the two people's birth charts. His eyes were focused and deep, as if he could see through these words into their past and future. After a while, he smiled and nodded to Hua Pozi.
"Their horoscopes are very compatible," the fortune teller said slowly. "The girl's horoscope is auspicious for the boy. This is a very auspicious sign. Their meeting is not accidental, but arranged by heaven."
Hua Pozi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. This is the money for divination." Hua Pozi handed a purse to the fortune teller.
"The couple you are going to match up this time has a rare fate." Old Zhao took the fortune and said with a smile.
Mrs. Hua nodded. "Who said it wasn't? Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you next time."
Old Zhao stroked his beard and fanned himself with a fan.
Mrs. Hua found Gu Wanping and said, "Madam, the horoscopes have been matched."
Gu Wanping looked at Hua Pozi nervously. "How is it? Are the two of you compatible or not?"
"It's a perfect match, a very auspicious sign. The fortune teller said that the girl's destiny is very prosperous for your son. Although there will be some minor setbacks, as long as we support each other, grow together, understand and tolerate each other, we will be able to overcome difficulties and create a good life together." Hua Pozi took a sip of the water poured by Qinglian.
After hearing this, Gu Wanping, Qinglian and Qin Chaochao felt very satisfied and relieved with the result.
Gu Wanping and Qin Chaochao looked at each other and said, "This is considered to be Naji's completion, right?"
Hua Pozi nodded and said, "Yes, madam, the next step is the betrothal."
Gu Wanping and Qin Chaochao became more interested after listening to this.
"What needs to be done?" Gu Wanping asked.
"Next, we need to determine the betrothal money, gift money, and other gifts, and write the betrothal letter. The betrothal money, gift money, and other gifts must be written solemnly and formally. This is the gift letter. Although Lord Yao is very busy and has no time to participate, he should write a welcoming letter himself, which will be used to read the content of the oath when marrying the girl." Hua Pozi said seriously.
Qin Chaochao felt a little overwhelmed when he heard this.
"How much is the appropriate amount for betrothal gifts and gifts?" asked Gu Wanping.
Hua Pozi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go with your local area. Kyoto should give more than this. Whichever side gives more, we should go with that side. You can discuss this with the woman. I think it's better to go with whichever side gives more, or for both parties to agree on the amount to be given. It's less likely to cause conflicts."
Gu Wanping nodded and said, "Okay."
In the main hall of the He family,
Gu Wanping and the He family sat together to discuss the betrothal money and gift money.
Everyone's expression was serious, as it concerned the progress of this marriage.
The He family spoke first, "Wenyuan's mother, regarding the betrothal and gift money, here we usually pay sixteen taels of silver for the betrothal and ten taels of silver for the gift money. This is the typical betrothal and gift money that a middle-income family can afford."
Gu Wanping was a little shocked when she heard this. It was indeed a bit low. Hua Pozi was right. Whoever gave more should be counted according to the larger amount. Otherwise, if they gave less, both families would lose face in the future. Outsiders would think that "Oh, the Yao family didn't even spend a hundred taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law. She's a cheap daughter-in-law!" Or if He Huaixiu went to Kyoto in the future and heard that other people got married and gave more to the old man, what would He Huaixiu do? He would feel unbalanced.
Seeing that Gu Wanping didn't say anything, the He family felt unsure. They were already middle-income townspeople, otherwise if they were ordinary villagers, the betrothal gifts and gifts would be even less.
Gu Wanping smiled and said, "Okay, in-laws, I know the market conditions. You don't have to worry about this. I will pay according to our market conditions. Don't worry, we will definitely not let Xiuxiu get a lower price than others. I, Gu Wanping, will never be inferior to others in anything I do."
He Shoushan and Zhao Hongying looked at each other and said with a smile, "Hey, you have the final say."
Gu Wanping looked at the two people's simple smiles and suddenly felt that the troublesome things were not that troublesome. Even if she found a relative with a prominent family background, it was not certain that they would be able to sit down and have a good chat in such a calm manner, nor would they say, "Hey, you have the final say, we all listen to you."
After two or three days
On a sunny morning, Gu Wanping and Hua Pozi brought people to the He family with a large sum of betrothal money and gifts.
Gu Wanping was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an elegant temperament, attracting the attention of many villagers.
Hua Pozi was wearing festive red clothes and following behind Gu Wanping.
Box after box of betrothal gifts, betrothal gifts and other gifts were lined up and followed in a grand manner.
Mrs. Hua gently pushed open the door of the He family and walked into the yard.
Hua Pozi shouted loudly, "The Yao family has sent betrothal gifts, gift money, engagement letters, and gifts!"
When the He family saw her and the boxes behind her, they showed surprise on their faces.
Mrs. Hua smiled and handed the He family a red gift book that contained the betrothal money, gift money and gifts. The book was several pages long, and the amount of the betrothal money and gift money left the He family dumbfounded.
The He family took the gift book with trembling hands, their eyes widened, unable to believe what they saw.
These generous gifts far exceeded their expectations. Although the He family's financial situation has improved a lot with the help of Yi Yami, compared with what Gu Wanping brought, this money is undoubtedly a huge sum for them.
