Chunwa brewed 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." Wei Zijin returned to his senses, and pointed to the long bench opposite, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

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

Chunwa was still very clever, and before Wei Zijin asked, he told everything about Ye Youran being bullied in the village.

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

On the second day after Sifang and Sanfang severed ties, the matchmaker Wei Zijin invited went to Yejia Village.

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

When the matchmaker comes over, it is natural to propose marriage, get married, and then discuss a date.

To make a small decision is actually an engagement.

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

Wei Zijin is the Seventh Young Master of the Zhongyong Mansion in the capital, and he must give the dowry according to the rules of the capital.

If there is less, the Wei family will lose face.

But Ye Youran is an orphan, if her dowry is too much, there will always be some greedy clansmen who will target her.

Mistress Ye didn't want her clan to think about her dowry money, so she mentioned in front of the matchmaker that Wei Zijin had already given the dowry money, and there was no need to pay for the dowry when she placed a small order.

Who knows, the matchmaker laughed and said, "The money is just for Major General Wei to open a restaurant for Miss Ye to pass the boring time. Major General Wei is the commander of [-] soldiers, so the dowry money is more than that."

The matchmaker was invited by Liang Youqian from the provincial capital, and the magistrate of the provincial capital personally sent someone to send it over. Do business.

Therefore, the matchmaker also understood that the dowry gift of 1000 taels of silver would definitely not be enough for Young Master Zhongyong to marry a wife, otherwise he would not be laughed at if it was passed on to the capital.

Mistress Ye's complexion changed, "Then how much dowry does Major General Wei plan to give? I also ask Matchmaker Cai to let me know, so my Ye family can make preparations."

"Well, Major General Wei really revealed it to me. He said it was sixteen thousand and 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 Mistress Ye, who has always been calm, was shocked, "Sixteen thousand six... Did you hear wrong?"

"How could I have heard it wrong? This price is considered high for a big family in the capital. However, Master Zhongyong lost 1 taels of silver when he married a wife. If it is passed on to the capital, why not be laughed at and miserly?"

"Mr. Zhongyong?"

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

Mistress Ye, Aunt Ye, and Second 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 600 taels of silver as a dowry gift.

In Beijing, this is considered high.
