Chunwa made a pot of tea and brought it over, but found that Wei Zijin was in a daze. He put down the tea and waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Brother-in-law of the Wei family, are you staring at the kitchen door, are you hungry?"

"Well, I'm not too hungry yet." Wei Zijin came to his senses and pointed to the bench opposite, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

"Does Brother-in-law of the Wei family want to ask me about Sister Xiaoyou?"

Chunwa was still very clever. Before Wei Zijin could ask anything, he told everything about Ye Youran being bullied in the village.

Then, Chunwa sighed like a young adult and said worriedly, "Brother-in-law of the Wei family, you promised to give Sister Xiaoyou so many betrothal gifts, and now many people are staring at Sister Xiaoyou."

The day after the fourth and third rooms severed their relationship, the matchmaker hired by Wei Zijin went to Yejia Village.

Ye Youran invited three trustworthy people, Mistress Ye, Aunt Ye, and Erniang Ye, to come forward to help her receive the matchmaker.

When the matchmaker comes over, she naturally proposes marriage, combines the horoscopes, and then discusses the date of the wedding.

Making a small commitment is actually an engagement.

According to the rules of the capital, when a man and a woman get engaged, the man must prepare eight boxes of cakes, eight sets of clothes, eight pieces of jewelry, eight pieces of cloth, and eight cans of tea for the woman. Then, the elders of both parties sit together to discuss the betrothal gift, dowry, and wedding date.

Wei Zijin was the seventh young master of the Zhongyong Mansion in the capital. When he gave the betrothal gift, he must give it according to the rules of the capital.

If the payment is less, the Wei family's face will be in trouble.

But Ye Youran is an orphan, and if her betrothal gift is too much, there will always be some greedy tribesmen who will target her.

Mistress Ye didn't want her tribe to worry about her betrothal gift, so she mentioned it in front of the matchmaker that Wei Zijin had already given the betrothal gift, so there was no need to pay any more money when making a small decision.

Unexpectedly, the matchmaker laughed and said, "Those few silver coins were just used by Major General Wei to open a restaurant for Miss Ye to pass the boring time. As the commander of 30,000 soldiers, Major General Wei's betrothal gift is more than that little money."

The matchmaker was invited by Liang Youqian from the provincial capital, and was sent here personally by the prefect of the provincial capital. Before coming, the prefect also had a good relationship with the matchmaker, letting the matchmaker know Wei Zijin's identity, and also asked the matchmaker to treat Wei Zi well.

Jin works.

Therefore, the matchmaker also understood that for Mr. Zhongyong to marry a wife, the betrothal gift of one thousand taels of silver would definitely not be enough, otherwise people would not be able to laugh at it if the news spread to the capital.

Mistress Ye's expression changed, "How much money does Major General Wei plan to give as a betrothal gift? Please let Matchmaker Cai spill the beans so that our Ye family can be prepared."

"Well, Major General Wei really revealed it to me and said it was sixteen thousand six."

Snapped……

The cup in Ye Erniang's hand fell to the ground and broke.

Aunt Ye's eyes turned into bull's eyes.

Even the usually calm Mistress Ye was shocked, "Sixteen thousand and six...did you hear it wrong?"

"How could I have heard wrong? This price is considered high even for a wealthy family in the capital. However, Master Zhongyong married a wife and lost ten thousand taels of silver. When it comes to the capital, he is not allowed to be laughed at for being stingy?"

"Mr. Zhongyong?"

"Oh, my mistress, you don't know that Major General Wei is the youngest son-in-law of Duke Zhongyong in the capital, right?"

Mistress Ye, Aunt Ye, and Er Niang Ye were all dumbfounded.

Even Ye Dashi and his wife were stunned and couldn't believe it.

Even Ye Youran was surprised that Wei Zijin would give her sixteen thousand six hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift.
