As a matchmaker, I'm not convinced by anyone

Chapter 323

Jinkui City, Jiangsu Province.

In a private room of a certain restaurant, three generations of the Qu family gathered for dinner and discussed the issue of dowry.

"Dad, Mom, in a few days, Wen Hua and Jiang Xue will register their marriage. Before that, we must send the dowry to others, but how much dowry is appropriate? Please help me to come up with an idea." .” The speaker was Mother Qu, who was the vice-principal of a middle school.

Grandma Qu, who is the owner of a food processing factory, said: "This really needs to be carefully considered. We are all aware of the Jiang family's situation. It is not comparable to our Qu family. Although they don't have the slightest requirement for bride price, we do We must pay attention to it, and we must not let people lose face in the bride price."

Qu's father, who is the president of the universe market, answered: "Mom is right, among other things, Jiang Xue owns [-]% of the shares of Happy Marriage Agency, and she married into our Qu family with the shares. If it's higher, you must marry the girl back in a dignified way."

Grandpa Qu, a retired employee of a certain state-owned enterprise, didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to his eldest grandson, "Wenhua, grandpa's small coffers are not comparable to your big boss, grandma. I support you with 50."

Qu Wenhua laughed and said, "Grandpa, the old man is really generous. He actually saved so much money."

Qu Wenqian couldn't help but joked: "Grandpa, don't empty out your small coffers. When I get married, you have to prepare a dowry for me."

Grandpa Qu laughed and said, "Don't worry, you are indispensable."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the words.

Grandma Qu smiled and said: "This old thing has come up with 50 yuan, so grandma can't lose to him, Wenhua, grandma supports you with 100 million yuan, and you must marry Jiang Xue back in a glorious manner."

Qu Wenqian gave a thumbs up and said: "Grandma is indeed the big boss of our family, and her actions are extraordinary."

Father Qu said, "I'll make up 50 too."

Mother Qu smiled and said, "Wenhua, your grandparents put together 80 yuan for you, and mother will add another 20 yuan to make it up."

Qu Wenhua's grandfather is a middle-level leader of a communication company, and his grandmother opened a dance training center in partnership with others. The two elders are Qu's mother and a daughter. Now the only grandson is getting married. Naturally, the support will not be low.

The family made up money casually, and in the blink of an eye, they made up a total of 300 million. Although this family is not very rich, it is still considered a very good family.

Qu Wenhua shook his head involuntarily and said, "How can this betrothal gift cost so much money?"

Grandma Qu said: "For the bride price, let's take an auspicious number, how about 188 million?"

Mother Qu praised: "This number is good. 188 means 'to send hair', and it also contains the meaning of 'blessings to share, and difficulties to share'. It is perfect for a betrothal gift."

Grandma Qu said: "I already have a house, so I don't need to buy another one. Just decorate the house more festively. Although I also have a car, but the grade is a bit worse, I might as well buy another car worth hundreds of thousands. The rest of the money can be used To buy gold jewelry and custom-made Fengguan Xiapei, Longfeng jacket, Xiuhe clothes, etc., the money is almost used up."

Qu Wenhua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to grandma."

Grandma Qu said: "Well, that's the deal. In a few days, when you register your marriage, you can book a restaurant and send out invitations."

Send invitations half a month in advance, enough time.

Mother Qu said: "Mom, let's buy all kinds of gifts tomorrow, fly to Jiang's house early in the morning, try to arrive at the county where Jiang's family is located that night, and then deliver the bride price to the door in the morning of the day after tomorrow, you see this arrangement How about it?"

Grandma Qu hummed, nodded and said, "Yes, then do it this way."

Qu's father answered, "Then I will contact the Universe Travel in the provincial capital of Guizhou in advance. I have a classmate who works there. On the one hand, I can make an appointment to withdraw money, and on the other hand, I can also ask the other party to rent a car for us." car."

"That's fine, otherwise it would be inconvenient to board the plane with 200 million in cash, and renting a car is also convenient for us to travel, so that we don't have to trouble others to pick it up when we get it."

"It's fine to buy the main gifts tomorrow, and those ordinary gifts can also be bought in the county seat, which will be more convenient."

"..."

As a family, you express your opinions one by one, and after the meal is over, the plan will come out.

At the end, Grandma Qu said: "Then do it this way, Wenhua, remember to say hello to Jiang Xue, we will come to give the bride price the day after tomorrow."

Qu Wenhua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call her later."

……

With regard to giving gifts, different places have different customs. Many places give gifts on the day of engagement, but there are also many places that do not have the custom of engagement.

For example, in Qinghe Town, there is no talk of engagement.

The dowry gift here is all about picking a good day to send it.

This morning, Jiang's family slaughtered chickens and ducks to prepare meals for the upcoming in-laws.

Jiang Feng's three brothers and sisters and sister-in-law all returned to the village yesterday. The whole family is a busy family. Now that they came back suddenly, they naturally attracted the attention of the neighbors. After asking, they found out that the person Jiang Xue was talking about was coming to give the bride price.

Ever since, in just one night, the whole village knew the news.

The villagers all wanted to know, what kind of person Jiang Xue talked about, and how much bride price would the man give?
Early in the morning, after breakfast, the villagers gathered under a lychee tree in front of Laosun's house, which was a neighbor less than 50 meters away from Jiang Feng's house.

"I heard that Xiaoxue is talking about foreigners?"

"It's a foreigner. It is said that they are from Suzhou Province."

"It's too far away, at least one or two thousand kilometers?"

"It should be about the same. If you find someone so far away, the condition of the other party's family should be good, right?"

"I heard from Aunt Jiang that the man is a lawyer, and he seems to be pretty good. His father is the president of their city's ICBC, his mother is the vice principal of a middle school, and his grandmother also owns a factory. His family is in a good position!"

"If the man's family background is not good, how could Xiaoxue like it? You don't even look at what kind of cars the three of Xiaoxue's brothers and sisters are driving now. Xiaofeng's dating agency in the provincial capital has already made a lot of money."

"Speaking of which, Xiao Feng is still very powerful, pulling the whole family up by himself."

"Does anyone know how much bride price the man will give to Jiang's family?"

"I really don't know about this. I asked Aunt Jiang last night. Aunt Jiang said that she didn't ask about the dowry. She just told the man through Xiaoxue and just gave it a look."

"With the conditions of the man's family, the bride price should not be less, after all, they also want face."

"How much, we will know later."

"..."

Amidst the discussions among the villagers, the time came to ten o'clock without knowing it, and a Mercedes-Benz car turned around the small bridge and drove in slowly towards Jiang's house.

The gossiping villagers lifted their spirits and stretched their necks to look towards Jiang's house.

I saw the car parked in Jiang's yard, and five people got out of the car, a handsome young man, no need to guess that this was Xiaoxue's object.Two handsome middle-aged people, these should be the parents of that handsome young man.There are also two hale and hearty old men, these should be his grandparents.

A family of five traveled thousands of miles to give the bride price, it can be seen how much the man's family attaches importance to this marriage.

Several members of the Jiang family also came out to welcome them.

After the two parties greeted each other, various gifts were moved into Jiang's house from the trunk.

The villagers didn't see the other gifts very clearly. They only knew that there were everything from tobacco, wine, tea, candy and biscuits. It wasn't until the man carefully raised a unique blue bag from the car that the villagers were surprised.

I saw that the blue was covered with colorful banknotes, among which the red hundred-yuan bills were the main ones, and there were very few banknotes of other colors, which were just used for decoration. There are also some window decorations with the word "囍" for decoration, and the overall look is very beautiful.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, the villagers couldn't help but stepped forward to watch.

After Jiang's family took the basket full of banknotes into the house and put it away, the villagers couldn't help talking again.

"Oh my god, if I'm not mistaken, what was on the blue box just now is all money, right?"

"It must be money. Although it is more than 40 meters away, the blue coin is so dazzling that you can recognize it at a glance."

"It's the first time I've seen so much money when I grow up. I'm afraid it's worth millions, right?"

"If there are hundreds of yuan bills inside, it must be in the millions. I don't know the exact number."

"It's really generous. If Gao's betrothal gift directly breaks the record of betrothal gifts in our Qinghe Town, I just don't know if we can rank first in Bailiang County."

"It's really enviable to find such an in-law."

"..."

Amidst the villagers' discussions, Jiang Feng's family invited the Qu family to drink tea in the large living room on the third floor. After saying hello, Jiang's mother came down to cook, while the eldest brother and sister-in-law came down to help.

Jiang Feng smiled while making tea: "Grandpa Qu, Grandma Qu, Uncle Qu, Aunt Qu, our place is remote and remote, and the transportation is not very convenient. You have worked hard all the way."

Grandma Qu waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's not hard, you have beautiful mountains and clear waters here, I just saw the scenery along the way, and those small peaks are really quite distinctive."

As soon as Grandpa Qu went upstairs, he kept looking at the huge living room, and said with emotion, "Dear family, this house is really well built. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Father Jiang smiled and said, "It didn't cost much. The land where the house was built was my homestead, and the foreman who helped build the house was a client of Xiaofeng's. They didn't even charge wages, they just spent money on building materials. That's all."

Father Qu said: "If this kind of house is placed in a big city, it will cost more than [-] million yuan. For the same money, living in the countryside is ten times more comfortable than in a big city."

Mother Qu said: "Living in the countryside is really comfortable, but the educational conditions are a bit worse than in big cities." As expected of a vice principal who has been teaching for many years, education was the problem from the beginning.

Jiang's father sighed: "The educational conditions in the countryside are indeed not good. In our village, many people drop out of school after finishing the nine-year compulsory education to work. Ten children may not necessarily produce a college student."

Mother Qu praised: "Educational conditions are worse than those in the city. My father-in-law and you can still train two outstanding 985 college students. It is really good enough. We all have to learn from you."

Jiang's father shook his head repeatedly when he heard the words, and said embarrassedly: "My mother-in-law, you really praised me, and I am not afraid of your jokes when you say it. How do we know how to train children? We haven't even taught them homework since they were young.

Xiaoxue and Xiaofeng were admitted to 985 University because of their own hard work, and have nothing to do with our parents. "

Mother Qu was slightly taken aback when she heard that, and then she smiled and said, "That's also my father-in-law. You have provided a good learning environment for the children. In addition, Xiaoxue and Xiaofeng are both extremely smart, hardworking and studious, so it is easy to be admitted to the 985 University." Not surprising."

Next, while drinking tea, everyone talked about education, and after talking about education, they talked about customs and habits.

The Jiang family has rich experience in matchmaking, and they have all practiced their tongues. They are all eloquent, and they greeted the Qu family with ease and thoughtfulness, and none of them were left out.

At eleven o'clock, Jiang's mother had also finished the dishes, and everyone sat down to eat.

Because the Qu family had called in advance to give the bride price, so the Jiang family's meals were extremely well prepared, and there were everything that could be said to fly in the sky, run on the ground, swim in the water, or hide in the mountains.

Coupled with the fact that Mother Jiang's culinary skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past year, the Qu family are full of praise for the food.

This meal was a joy for both the host and the guests.

Starting at eleven o'clock in the morning, they ate until two o'clock in the afternoon. They ate for a full three hours. Except for Qu's mother as the driver, everyone else in the Qu family, including Qu's grandpa and grandma, drank wine.

After the banquet was over, they went upstairs to drink tea for half an hour before the Qu family got up to say goodbye.

After the two families were courteous, Jiang Xue took the household registration book and drove away with Qu's family. This time, she and Qu Wenhua went back to their city to register their marriage.

Although it is also possible to register for marriage in the county here, doing so is like recruiting a son-in-law, so Jiang's father and Jiang's mother still ordered their daughter to go back to the man's registered residence to register for marriage.

After the Qu's family left, the villagers who had already waited desperately couldn't bear it anymore. They flocked to the Jiang's house, asking about the bride price inside and out.

"Aunt Jiang, how much dowry was given by your in-laws just now? We saw it from a distance. It seems that there is a large basket of cash. The thickness should exceed 100 million, right?"

"Aunt Jiang, your in-laws are really good, and you are very generous."

"Aunt Jiang, can we go in and visit the bride price?"

"Aunt Jiang..."

Mother Jiang greeted with a red face: "Come in, the betrothal gift is 188 million, and I told them to give them any betrothal gifts. I didn't expect their family to prepare so many betrothal gifts."

Everyone gasped when they heard it. Although they all guessed that the bride price should be in the millions, they didn't expect it to be 188 million. While they were all envious, they couldn't help flattering.

Soon, Mother Jiang opened the door for the dowry to let the villagers go in and have a look.

Seeing the unusually beautifully packaged 188 million cash gift, the villagers were all eye-opening, and they crowded around there and praised it loudly. Even if Mother Jiang didn't remind, no one would be foolish enough to touch it.

　Thank you Aini 01 for your reward, and thank you for your comfort. The author will grit his teeth and stick to it.
