Hearing the laughter and chatter inside, Song Zhuiyan and Zhong Qingyi exchanged a smile. The two little ones didn't seem to feel lonely at all at home; they were quite boisterous.
Tomorrow is the day the two are getting engaged. Originally, Zhong Qingyi wanted to find a matchmaker to go through the motions, but Song Zhuiyan said it wasn't necessary. She said it would be fine for the family to have a meal together to celebrate. She said that she was living her own life and didn't care much about such formalities. Her own happiness was the most important thing.
Zhong Qingyi felt that she had been wronged too much and always wanted to do something, such as buying her some valuable jewelry or the finest silks, to show that she valued her.
"You have so much stuff you don't know where to put it all, right? Just pick a few things." Duke and his confidants have countless jewels. Song Tantan has stored all the good stuff in his storage space. Now he really has no shortage of gold and silver, no shortage of food and clothing, and he has everything he wants. He feels like he has too much, which makes him a little complacent.
Song Zhuiyan even considered whether she should stop farming and raising pigs.
Of course, this thought only flashed through my mind, and I immediately shook my head and denied it. How can a person live without doing anything? A life of just eating and waiting to die will wear down one's will, making one less and less energetic, and may even shorten one's lifespan.
The saying goes, "Those who have no hope die quickly."
She doesn't know about others, but she can't live an easy life. Well, she's destined to be a workaholic.
Song Tantan directly placed a box of silver and a box of jewelry into the space in his hometown, saying it was for Song Zhuiyan's dowry.
"How much do you have left?" Song Zhuiyan didn't refuse and readily accepted it, but she was very curious about how much good stuff Tantan had plundered.
“It’s just a few boxes, it’s not just mine. Xun and I will each keep half for him.” Song Tantan chuckled.
In fact, Zhong Qingyi also had some; it was a box of gold because he thought gold was more valuable. However, he didn't have a place to hide it, so he hid it in the house under his name. It was said that there was a secret room in that house, which was quite secluded. Ye Moxun specially chose the house for him to hide his treasures.
So the next day when they got engaged, Zhong Qingyi only kept five hundred taels of gold and gave the remaining five thousand taels to Song Zhuiyan. "Little Song, put these in your space. You can spend them all. Buy whatever you like. I don't know what to buy."
Both Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan acted like modern domineering CEOs, shoving bank cards at each other and saying arrogantly, "Here's your card. Just swipe it to buy whatever you want. Don't try to save me any money."
Song Tantan assumed it was Ye Moxun who taught him, but the latter looked completely innocent. He hadn't said anything; it was his uncle's own idea. He hadn't expected him to be so clever.
"Did you keep it for yourself?" Song Zhuiyan asked with concern.
"Keep it. I still have plenty." Zhong Qingyi smiled shyly. In fact, he felt that the extra gold was no more useful than iron. Ordinary people didn't need so much money.
Enough is enough. He doesn't feel at ease sleeping with too much money at home. He's not used to it. Sigh, he's just destined to be a busybody.
"Okay, I'll keep it for you." Song Zhuiyan put her hand on the box, and the things disappeared as if by magic. Zhong Qingyi had experienced this a few times and was used to it.
"When did you buy the groceries? Why didn't you tell me? I could have gone to buy them myself." Zhong Qingyi looked at the various meats and vegetables in the kitchen with a sense of frustration. Today was his engagement day, and he had no room to show off in other aspects. Why couldn't he even have a chance to impress others with something as small as buying groceries?
"Ah Xun and I went to buy these early this morning. Uncle Zhong, you'll be cooking today. We're all waiting to eat, so you'd better do your best." Once they're officially engaged, she'll have to call him Uncle.
“No problem, leave it all to me.” Zhong Qingyi was happy to oblige; he wanted to do as much as possible.
"Stop fooling around, go play by yourself, I'll go help you." Song Zhuiyan stopped her from teasing Zhong Qingyi and sent her away.
"Okay, I promise I won't disturb your time alone." Song Tantan said casually and without any seriousness.
During the meal, Ye Moxun gave Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan a pair of fine white jade pieces, which they each wore around their necks as rings.
Why not give a ring? It's not that we can't make one, but Ye Moxun thinks the ring is too small. Even if it's a gold ring, it won't be worth much. Besides, his uncle and Aunt Song both like to carry swords, and wearing a ring would be uncomfortable. A jade pendant would be better.
"It's beautiful, I like it, thank you, Xun." Song Zhuiyan smiled sincerely. She didn't know much about jade, she only knew that it was valuable, and that was enough.
Zhong Qingyi also liked it very much. He saw that Song Zhuiyan liked it, and since his partner and her partner were a couple, he extended his affection to Song Zhuiyan as well.
After accepting Ye Moxun's gift, Song Zhuiyan glanced at Song Tantan, who was still grinning foolishly, and thought to herself, "This silly girl didn't prepare anything?"
Upon receiving her gaze, Song Tantan paused in her smile. She hadn't really thought of that; she had only assumed that there was a box of jewelry in her spatial storage, which her aunt could choose from, so there was no need for her to prepare anything else.
Okay, it seems like it is necessary.
So she used her mind to rummage through the two jewelry boxes in the supermarket and finally found two pairs of bracelets. She really didn't know what to give as a gift. She couldn't just copy Ye Moxun and give him a pair of jade pendants, could she?
Song Zhuiyan naturally accepted the jade bracelet and put it on immediately. Zhong Qingyi was a little at a loss, holding a pair of gold bracelets. He could never wear such things, but since Tan Tan gave them to him, he couldn't refuse.
"Little Song, please keep this bracelet for me too," Zhong Qingyi said shamelessly.
Before they're even married, he's already handing over all his valuables. He'll be completely at their mercy after they get married. Ye Moxun shook his head inwardly. Oh well, as long as his uncle is happy, that's all that matters.
The next day, Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan took the fabric to the embroidery shop to find an embroiderer to make clothes. Before, they wore modern modified clothes from the supermarket, which were neither fish nor fowl. Now that there was plenty of silk and satin fabric, they quickly took some to make clothes.
