The news of Yong Zhixu's successful proposal soon reached the Yong family.
The old man was dancing with excitement, and Lin Suiying was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. The two congratulated each other.
Thinking of Tang Xili's lack of disdain, the old man still felt a little ashamed.
"Xiao Xu was such a jerk, but Xiao Li could forgive her. She's really a love-brained person. But...
He changed the subject and said seriously, "We must not treat her unfairly because of this. We must treat her twice as well and let her feel the warmth of home."
Lin Suiying nodded, "Don't worry, Dad. I saved her phone number. I've called her every now and then in the past two months."
It doesn't matter what you talk about, just chat casually.
She has never been fond of shopping, but she has been shopping a lot in the past two months. Whenever she sees beautiful bags, rare jewelry, or exquisite small gifts, she will buy them and ask Chen Zui to deliver them to her.
She knew Xiaoli was very rich, but her saying no was different from her not wanting to buy it.
No one would be unhappy after receiving a gift, Chen Zui said, and when Xiaoli opened the gift box, her eyes were as curved as the moon.
The old man was very pleased to know that she kept in touch. "By the way, have they said when they plan to get married? This year or next year?"
Speaking of this, Lin Suiying was even happier, "This year, Xiaoxu said we'll get the marriage certificate on May 20th."
"May 20th?" The old man clasped his left hand with his right. "That's good, that's good."
Getting a marriage certificate on May 20th is very popular among young couples nowadays. Itβs a good omen, and he understands.
"So when will the wedding be held? Ask Xiaoli for her birth dates, and I'll find someone to match them and calculate the date."
The old man is not superstitious and does not believe in anything strange or supernatural, but if the younger generation is safe, he is willing to believe it.
Moreover, calculating the date based on the couple's birthday is a marriage custom that has been passed down for thousands of years. It cannot be considered superstition, but rather a kind of etiquette and a cultural heritage.
Lin Suiying shook her head and said, "Don't count it. Their wedding is on June 18th."
"Ah?" The old man was slightly surprised. "Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"Not rashly," Lin Suiying smiled. "Xiao Xu said that he first met Xiao Li at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau on June 18th of last year. It was an auspicious day with a very good fortune."
There is no day more meaningful than this one.
After listening to her explanation, the old man understood. He took out his cell phone and looked at the date.
"Today is March 12th, so we have three months to prepare."
He considered, "How about this, pick a day and have your eldest brother and his wife and the third brother and his wife go to propose marriage, and also..."
After a pause, the old man instructed: "Xiao Li's mother died early, and she has been alone and helpless since childhood. I'm afraid no one has prepared for her. Yingzi, you should prepare a dowry for her."
His granddaughter-in-law is taken care of and is not an orphan.
After dinner, the old man returned to his bedroom and took out two bank cards and an old red hardcover book from an old-fashioned mother-of-pearl dressing box with a peony pattern.
There is a "ε" character on the surface of the book cover.
He called Lin Suiying to the study. "This bank card was saved by her and me for Xu'er when Yuan Man was still alive. There's 20 million in it, so each grandchild will get 20 million, no bias. But I don't plan to give Xu'er the money now. I want to use it to buy Xiaoli's dowry. Yingzi, do you have any objections?"
Lin Suiying's eyes were red. "How could that be? Dad, you love Xiaoli so much. I'm so happy."
"That's good." Knowing she wouldn't mind, the old man handed over a second bank card. "There's also 20 million in this. It's my personal savings, and I'm also going to prepare Xiaoli's dowry. The three letters and six ceremonies, the formal marriage, and the ten-mile red wedding dowry are all necessary."
"Dad..." Lin Suiying choked up, "Thank you..."
"What are you thanking me for?" the old man said, "Once you enter our house, you are one of our family members."
He shoved the thick, hard-covered red book into Lin Suiying's hands and said, "This is the dowry list for Manman when she married me. You should buy Xiaoli according to this specification."
His wife, Yuan Man, was a lady from a prominent family in Jiangnan. When she married him, her wedding was so beautiful that she was the envy of everyone in Kyoto.
"Okay..." Lin Suiying took the list and bowed deeply to the old man, "Dad, thank you..."
"I already told you you're welcome..."
After Lin Suiying left, the old man called Yong Zhixu and discussed with him the time for the engagement.
After the discussion, the old man asked the eldest son and his wife to prepare the betrothal gifts.
In order to prevent the elders from making a long journey, Tang Xili and Yong Zhixu returned to the capital before proposing.
ββ
On April 20th, the sky was clear and the air was bright, and spring was in full swing.
Yong Hechen and Yong Hezhang brought their wives to Villa No. 18 of Chaohua Academy to propose marriage.
The betrothal gifts were carried into the living room of the villa by the servants, and were placed full on the floor, table and sofa.
Neatly stacked cash, diamond, gold, jade jewelry, various brand-name bags, car keys, real estate deeds, and various ceremonial items.
Among them, a pair of wooden carved geese is particularly eye-catching. Geese have three virtues: order of seniority, coming and going at the right time, and unwavering loyalty.
Regarding the amount of the betrothal gift, Tang Xili said that it would be enough to show its appreciation. Yong Zhixu's family is special, so it cannot be too conspicuous.
After the old man found out, he kept praising his granddaughter-in-law for her vision.
So the gift money is not much, 6.66 million.
However, the two courtyard houses, three detached garden villas, three luxury cars, and several sets of imperial green jade jewelry add up to nearly 1 billion.
While the betrothal gifts were being given, Lin Suiying was also busy preparing her dowry. In addition to the 40 million given by the old man, she also bought a lot for herself.
