Having said that, Chi Yu didn't want to keep it from her sister, so she simply called her over.
Qin Mu, because Shen Kai handled many things, and because Shen Kai was his confidant and a brother he had risked his life for, did not hide anything from him.
When Shen Kai arrived, he heard that the two were going to agree to get married, and he didn't seem surprised at all.
After all, the world is full of wonders.
Chi Yu had only been divorced for a short time and had limited time to spend with Mu Ge, so it was unrealistic for him to suddenly say he liked or loved her.
However, he believed that his brother Mu was such a good person. As long as the two spent more time together, feelings would surely develop between them.
There's an old saying that goes, "Familiarity breeds affection."
In other words, the longer you spend together, the more attracted you become, and the deeper your feelings become!
And so, the marriage agreement between the two was gradually finalized through the back-and-forth discussions among the four people.
The agreement was made in duplicate, one copy for Chi Yu and one copy for Qin Mu.
Inside, even the extent of their wealth was written down clearly and plainly.
After the agreement was signed, Qin Mu returned to his guest room, took out the package he had brought with him, which contained the betrothal gifts he intended to give.
“Miss Chiyu, there are three sets of jewelry inside. I asked someone to bring them back from the prefectural city.”
Two sets are gold jewelry, and one set is silver jewelry.
In addition, because of the special circumstances when I went up the mountain before, I couldn't buy things to bring back, so I exchanged them all for silver.
So, there are still two hundred taels of silver notes here.
One hundred and eighty-eight taels was the betrothal money, and twelve taels was the money for purchasing cloth, pastries, and meat.
I know it's a bit abrupt to only bring Ah Kai this time.
But given the current situation, we have no choice but to make do with this for now.
But don't worry, once it's easier to go up and down the mountain here, I'll make sure all the necessary rituals are completed.
I had previously told Tang Bingren that she would come on my behalf to formally propose marriage on an auspicious day.
Qin Mu gave this betrothal money because he had inquired about it before. When Chi Yu and Qi Mingyu got engaged, the Qi family gave six taels of silver.
He didn't want to wrong the girl; he felt she deserved better.
If people inquire later, they will find out that even though she remarried, she was still cherished and valued.
The highest dowry in Anping County was given to the second daughter-in-law of the Zhong family, who received 166 taels of silver, along with two sets of gold jewelry.
He felt that 188 taels was just right.
Having an extra set of silver jewelry won't be too outrageous.
After all, Anping County is small, and it wouldn't be good to be too abrupt or too high-profile, especially at a time like this.
Chi Qiao saw that he had even prepared all of this, and immediately stood up and said:
"Qin Mu, you should postpone the betrothal ceremony for now."
You and Xiaoyu go eat now. I'll go find the old clan chief and Xiaoyu's other brothers and sisters-in-law.
This is a big event; the whole family must be present. The betrothal gifts also need to be witnessed!
Otherwise, it would seem rather hasty, like something that couldn't be shown to the public.
Chi Qiao walked very fast. As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up a lantern and went out.
At that time, most of the people who were eating at Chi Erxiong's house had finished eating, leaving only one table of people drinking.
When Chi Qiao arrived, she was slightly drunk. Chi Dahu, who was about to go to the toilet, sobered up considerably upon seeing her.
"Honey, what brings you here?"
Didn't you say you couldn't come, and that you'd bring the lunchbox over tomorrow after you finished eating with Ah Kang?
Chi Qiao looked around and saw that the people at the main table had not yet dispersed and were still drinking and chatting.
Moreover, the people at this table were Chi Dongyi and others, accompanied by several of the older Chi brothers.
Seeing this, she said, "Qin Mu and Shen Kai also saw the giant python today, and they also felt that something was wrong."
