Chapter 139 Proposal
What gifts to buy and what clothes to wear.

The matchmaker taught the students what to say to different people.

Chen Baian has been a waiter for so long that he has long learned how to deal with people.

You will learn it as soon as you learn it.

"The young man is handsome, and my mother-in-law and brother-in-law will definitely like him when they see him." The matchmaker said with a smile.

"It's getting late, let's set off now." Liu Yingyue looked at the sky. If they went back now, they could still have lunch.

This time, she didn't buy a gift.

Since the protagonist today is Chen Baian, she won't steal the spotlight.

Following the matchmaker's advice, Chen Baian bought some roast goose, braised pork, gifts that Madam Qin liked, and also bought the wine that Qin Yiran liked.

I also bought some candy.

This is intended for the gatekeeper.

If it is another family, you have to prepare it for the children at home.

The Qin family has no children, but there are many permanent and temporary workers on the farm, so just give each person a few candies.

As soon as Chen Baian and Qin Xiuzhu left, Liu Huaiyue was the only one left in the shop. The girl was young and Liu Yingyue was afraid that she couldn't run the shop alone, so she decided to take her with her.

When Liu Huaiyue heard that she could have half a day off, she was so happy that she happily got into the carriage.

After closing the shop, Liu Yingyue and her sister and Qin Xiuzhu took a horse-drawn carriage, while Chen Baian drove the Qin family's donkey cart, bringing gifts and a matchmaker, to the Qin family's farm.

When they arrived at the place, the matchmaker saw that it was a large manor and whispered to Chen Baian, "To marry a girl from this family, you must be either rich or capable. Young man, how is your house prepared?"

Chen Baian also felt guilty, "The house is ready."

"What about the betrothal gift?"

Chen Baian: "..." He hasn't got the betrothal gift yet.

Seeing that he remained silent, the matchmaker said, "Then don't talk about the betrothal gift. Just talk about how capable you are. If you have ability, even if you don't have money today, you will be rich in the future."

Chen Baian nodded reluctantly, "I will. When the time comes, I hope Matchmaker Wang can help me."

Matchmaker Wang smiled and said, "Of course, of course."

She took the eight hundred coins from Liu Yingyue, so of course she would speak up for him.

The gatekeeper saw Liu Yingyue's carriage arrive and immediately opened the door, "Madam Ying is back?"

Liu Yingyue lifted the curtain and said to the gatekeeper, "The shopkeeper Chen from the market is here. He's the one driving the donkey cart behind. Please let him pass."

"Understood, Madam Ying." The gatekeeper nodded.

After Liu Yingyue's carriage passed by, the gatekeeper and several farmhands who were resting there walked towards Chen Baian.

Chen Baian immediately followed the matchmaker's advice and grabbed a handful of candy from the basket on the car and distributed it to everyone.

The gatekeeper smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Chen is thoughtful."

After Chen Baian's donkey cart entered the farm, everyone started talking.

"Why are you still handing out candy?"

"The other person in the car looks like a matchmaker. Could she be here to propose marriage?"

"Miss Xiuzhu is old enough to get married, but no one has come to propose marriage. Today's visit is the first."

"This young man is good-looking and worthy of our Miss Xiuzhu."

"I just don't know what the situation is like at home."

Everyone's discussion reached Chen Baian's ears, and he became nervous. The vehicle stopped beside the screen wall because there was a corridor in front and the vehicle could not go through.

Liu Yingyue got off the car first, called two farmhands to push the cart over, loaded all of Chen Baian's gifts on it, and then led everyone to Madam Qin's main room.

The matchmaker was a little nervous when she saw the magnificent house, but she still smiled and nodded to Chen Baian, "Brother Chen, are you coming?"

Liu Yingyue glanced at the nervous Chen Baian and said with a smile, "We all know each other, don't panic, I'll go in and tell Xiuzhu first."

She asked Chen Baian to wait and Liu Huaiyue to talk with her, and only took Qin Xiuzhu into the house.

Liu Huaiyue was a heartless person. She grabbed a handful of candy from the cart and ate it, smiling and saying, "Why are you shy? You are not a young wife."

Chen Baian felt more and more embarrassed.

When Liu Yingyue walked into the main house, she saw Madam Qin was also in the room, talking to Qin Yiran.

"What a coincidence, mother and Yiran are here." She said, pushing Qin Xiuzhu beside her.

Madam Qin laughed and said, "Xiuzhu is back? Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even ask anyone to bring a message."

Qin Yiran saw that Liu Yingyue's eyes were full of hidden meanings, so he asked, "You went to the market early this morning, and it turned out that you were going to bring Xiuzhu back."

Liu Yingyue walked over, sat down beside him, and said with a smile, "I was originally going to check on the business of the shop. Xiuzhu had something to tell you, so I brought her back. Xiuzhu?"

"What?" Mrs. Qin blinked.

"Yes..." Qin Xiuzhu blushed, "Bai'an is here, let him in first."

Qin Yiran glanced at his sister, understood what was going on, and walked to the door of the main house himself.

Seeing Chen Baian talking to a woman dressed as a matchmaker, he turned around and glanced at Liu Yingyue, who smiled at him.

Qin Yiran's eyes narrowed slightly. Liu Yingyue actually arranged things for Chen Baian and Qin Xiuzhu?

"Bai'an?" Qin Yiran walked down the stairs.

Chen Baian looked up and saw Qin Yiran, and hurriedly bowed, "Brother Yiran."

"You, you——" Qin Yiran patted his shoulder and smiled, "Come in."

Chen Baian said with an embarrassed look, "Brother Yiran, I'm here to propose marriage. I want to marry Xiuzhu."

"Well, you brought a matchmaker and gifts, so you are here to propose marriage, right? You have to go inside to propose marriage, so why are you standing outside the door? Come in, come in." Qin Yiran pulled his arm, and called on the matchmaker and the farmhands to carry the things into the house.

With someone accompanying him, Chen Baian became a little bolder.

After entering the room, he saw Madam Qin and immediately knelt down, "Chen Baian, greetings to the Madam." He also greeted Liu Yingyue and Qin Yiran.

Liu Huaiyue was very outgoing and found a chair and sat down.

"Congratulations, madam. Congratulations, madam. I am Wang the matchmaker from Jishi Street. This young man Chen Baian wants to marry your daughter, Miss Xiuzhu. They are a perfect match, of similar age, and in love with each other. They are truly a match made in heaven." The matchmaker walked up to Madam Qin with a smile on her face and started praising her.

Madam Qin was stunned by what she said, "Da Lang, Ying Yue?"

"Mom, I think Bai'an is doing well, so just approve it." Qin Yiran nodded.

"Mom, Yiran and I have the same idea." Liu Yingyue also said.

Liu Huaiyue, who followed in, said with a smile, "Aunt Qin, Brother Bai'an is very nice. He treats Xiuzhu very well. He cooks for her every day and helps her with her laundry. He even beats up the bad guys who bullied her."

She and Qin Xiuzhu both lived in the shop, and she saw whether Chen Baian was nice to Qin Xiuzhu or not.

He spoke in a burst of voices.

The matchmaker also said, "Such a good young man is hard to find even with a lantern. Madam, if you marry such a son-in-law, your daughter will enjoy endless happiness in this life."

"Mom?" Qin Xiuzhu became nervous when she saw that Madam Qin didn't say anything.
