Chapter 136 Dowry
Gao raised his chin proudly and said, "It's not what I guess, it was Jingming who mentioned it to me. He said that your marriage will be settled in almost two days. Let me prepare well, otherwise why would I send a message to your father to get mutton back!"
Jiang Maolei: "..." What a good guy, you know everything about your feelings, but you didn't tell me! No, Qiu Jingming is really amazing!
This time, Jiang Maolei was really impressed by Qiu Jingming and rushed out of the house and ran to Qiu's house.
Gao was chasing him from behind, "Boy, your mother hasn't asked clearly yet, what are you running away!"
Gao's voice was really loud, and he called everyone out. When he saw the two running towards Qiu's house, he went to watch the fun.
The Qiu family is ready for dinner. Old Man Qiu and Qiu Changsheng set up a table of food together. They were about to call someone, but when they saw Jiang Maolei breaking in, Old Man Qiu raised his white eyebrows and asked hoarsely, "What's wrong with your child?"
How strange the word "典" sounds? Jiang Maolei was stunned for a moment and didn't think much about it. He said anxiously: "Grandpa Qiu, I'm looking for Jing Ming, is he here?"
"Here! I'm in the study with my granddaughter-in-law, wait a moment!" Old Man Qiu shouted twice at the back door of the hall.
Qiu Jingming and Tang Ning came out one after another.
When Jiang Maolei saw the person, he immediately rushed over excitedly and hugged Qiu Jingming in his arms.
Qiu Changsheng was so scared that he took a step back and said to Tang Ning: "Sister-in-law, don't you care?"
Tang Ning grabbed a handful of melon seeds and was about to watch the fun, saying, "It's okay, let's see, if there is anything wrong with me, you can make them part ways."
Jiang Maolei was so scared that he shivered all over and quickly let go of Qiu Jingming.
Gao also chased after him, panting with his hips, "Stupid boy! Why are you running? It's so deadly!"
Qiu Jingming curled the corners of his mouth and said silently: "Looking at the movement of cousin Hongluanxing, good things are coming soon. I'm so anxious to invite me to have a wedding wine."
Jiang Maolei was excited again, sat down happily and said, "Don't mention a cup, I specially prepared a table of matchmaker gifts for you! Now I want to ask, the woman said that the betrothal gifts are just for a livestock and a bag of food. They raise deer, and it is not easy for us to catch deer here. They said that pigs and sheep are also fine, as long as they are living animals, please help me see what is better to make."
He said enviously to Li, who came to watch the fun, "This wife is so beautiful! She doesn't even need a betrothal?"
Gao also looked at Jiang Maolei with surprise.
Jiang Maolei shook his head and explained: "Their villages are relatively closed, and they are less commonly used for money. They are more bartered. For example, their village raises deer, other villages have a lot of food and fruit, and some villages are good at weaving cloth. Everyone looks at each other and exchanges things, which makes people more popular."
When everyone heard this, they nodded in understanding. Many villages here do have their own characteristics. Not to mention anything else, Daoyang Village, which is closer to them, has their own clothes. The cloth they wear is woven by themselves, and the cloth outside cannot be used.
Gao said, "This is easy to deal with. There are pigs in our village. There are sheep raised in Daoyang Village. You can do whatever you want. If you want a deer, your mother can find a way to inquire for you."
Tang Ning, who had been watching the excitement, finally spoke out, "Uncle, are you still trying to find someone else in this kind of thing? There were deer in our land, but we developed it. Now the deer has gone to the unmanned valley further away from the back mountain. It is okay to catch it. I will go around tomorrow and get a deer for my cousin, which also makes us feel sincere."
"Ouch! That's so thank you!" Gao was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.
Jiang Maolei also smiled foolishly, patted his chest and promised: "Cousin, if you are useful in the future, just speak up, I will be fine if I am a cousin!"
Tang Ning spat and said arrogantly: "Who wants you to be a cow and a horse? Just live a good life and don't make any trouble!"
Gao was not worried when he heard this, so he hurriedly asked with Qiu Jingming: "Jingming, please help my aunt again. Your cousin... will not have any problems this time."
Qiu Jingming took a sip of water and said, "Uncle, don't worry, this time my cousin is over and over again."
After hearing this, everyone stepped forward to thank Gao, and some people wanted Qiu Jingming to tell fortunes.
Qiu Jingming was amused and cried, and advised: "The life is getting thinner and thinner. The so-called secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. If you forget it and know your fate and make some actions against your will, the fate will change accordingly. What's the point?"
Tang Ning stood up and said, "Yes! This time, Jing Ming also saw that his uncle and uncle were so anxious about his cousin's marriage that he was confused. However, even so, he never explained it too clearly, for fear of losing his cousin's marriage."
After listening to it, everyone was thinking, but no one mentioned fortune telling again.
Qiu Jingming also breathed a sigh of relief and sent off a large group of people. The Qiu family was finally able to have a quiet meal.
At the dinner table, Qiu Changsheng looked at Qiu Jingming several times and wanted to speak but stopped.
Tang Ning put down his chopsticks and said, "If Changsheng wants to say anything, just say it."
Qiu Jingming also put down the bowls and chopsticks and listened carefully.
Qiu Changsheng looked at the old man Qiu and asked weakly: "Brother, I also want to know my future marriage..."
After she plucked up the courage to say it, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her face turned red like a ripe peach.
Qiu Jingming shook his head and said seriously: "Changsheng, it's not that my brother doesn't help you calculate, but that you are my sister. Our destiny is closely related. I can't calculate it. If I don't talk about you, I can't see through your sister-in-law's future."
Tang Ning touched Qiu Changsheng's head and gently coaxed him: "It doesn't matter if it's not a big deal. With your brother and I, can you still be wronged in the future?"
Qiu Changsheng smiled sweetly and nodded heavily.
Old Man Qiu was happy to see them dear and love, and did not interrupt.
The next day, Tang Ning really went to the back mountain. In fact, she didn't have to go to find the deer in person. She just placed an order from the system to buy one. She just wanted to find out if there were any other good things.
After wandering around the mountains for more than a day, when she came out, there was a deer in her back basket, carrying a big wild boar in her hands. The big wild boar was tied up and her mouth was even more tidily tied. Although one of them struggled, it was useless at all.
When Tang Ning put these two things in the hall of the Jiang family, Gao and his wife were so scared that they retreated repeatedly, especially when the wild boar moved, they also trembled.
Tang Ning said: "Uncle, are you saying such a betrothal gift enough?"
Gao nodded desperately, "Enough enough! That... Aning, is this wild boar really going to send it as a betrothal gift together?"
