Chapter 102

~5 min read 900 words

"This Lord Viscount Jia is truly wealthy."

"How can he be so wealthy, and so generous!"

"This Qin lady, and the entire Qin family, have truly hit the jackpot; this must be a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes!"

Neighbors and passersby whispered, filled with shock and envy!

This made both Jia Hui's side and Qin Zhong's side feel proud and in a great mood!

After all, people!

What is the point of these few decades in a lifetime if not for fame and fortune!

What they wanted now was this glory, this face!

Awesome!

Although Jia Yun already knew, as he read the gift list, his tone trembled slightly with excitement: "Betrothal cakes, one load!"

"Eight types of seafood: abalone, dried oysters, scallops, dried mushrooms, dried shrimp, squid, sea cucumber, shark fin, fish maw, and hair moss, two packs of each."

"Three types of livestock, two pairs of chickens, two male and two female, three to five catties of pork, representing a pair of wings flying together, meaning a piece connected to open two, expressing sincerity and respect."

"One mud carp, with head and tail, meaning abundance every year!"

"One box of fresh fruit, meaning vitality..."

When reading to this point.

The young girls all blushed, and the older men all began to smirk.

"Four types of Beijing fruits, one box each, meaning the Jia and Qin families will have prosperous descendants, fullness and many blessings, and endless generations."

"Four-colored candies, meaning sweetness and growing old together."

"And fine wine, incense, gold bracelets, two dou of rice, red bean rope, red envelopes, betrothal money, gold jewelry, a box of jewelry, ginseng tonics, and a pair of couplets..."

Jia Yun then read for a full half hour.

This was because every time he spoke, he added pleasant and auspicious meanings.

But the main reason was that there were too many things!

The numerous betrothal gifts!

Not only made Qin Zhong and the others dazzled.

The neighbors and passersby all felt dizzy!

How much money must this be!

An astronomical figure!

At least tens of thousands of taels of silver!

The fact was indeed so!

A total of fifty thousand taels of silver as betrothal gifts!

Equivalent to hundreds of millions in modern times!

Completely inhumane in its extravagance!

"Sister, brother-in-law, please come in!"

"Come in quickly, you must be thirsty; someone, go brew tea for my brother-in-law, the best kind!"

Qin Zhong was so excited he almost fainted.

He had never imagined that Jia Hui would send so many gifts.

Originally, they had thought.

It would be good if Jia Hui could give three to five hundred taels of silver as betrothal gifts!

After all, Jia Hui was penniless before.

Now he had been promoted, but it hadn't been long.

They never expected there would be so much!

Tens of thousands of taels!

Even the Ning and Rong Prefectures could not possibly have brought it out!

The Ning and Rong Prefectures did indeed have this money!

But taking it out would basically empty the two prefectures, which were already struggling to make ends meet!

Therefore, it was impossible to use it all as betrothal gifts.

Even when Li Wan and Fengjie were married, the betrothal gifts they received were only a few thousand taels of silver.

And that was several years ago, when the Rongguo Prefecture still had some money.

And their two families had also sent many dowries!

Of course.

The cost of the entire wedding was not just the betrothal gifts; other expenses, such as the wedding banquet, added up to over ten thousand taels.

But compared to Jia Hui, the difference was still huge!

Jia Hui's scale was something not even an Imperial Prince's wedding had!

It might not be unprecedented in the entire Great Gan.

But it was definitely one of the top few!

Without a doubt!

Jia Hui's luxurious betrothal gifts would definitely spread throughout the city at the most astonishing speed!

And then sweep across the country!

That is no exaggeration!

Jia Hui, beaming with glory, led by Qin Zhong, entered the Qin residence with his people!

He met the honest and upright Qin Ye!

And Qin Keqing was hiding behind the screen!

"Jia Hui, pays respects to the honorable father-in-law!"

"Today, I specifically deliver the betrothal gifts!".

【76】 (7) Meeting Qin Keqing and getting Diaochan! Qin Banruo, Lord Viscount, you are in great danger now

The main hall of the Qin residence!

Qin Ye was beaming, and after seeing Jia Hui, he happily exclaimed: "Good son-in-law, good worthy son-in-law!"

Regarding the commotion just now, servants had actually been reporting continuously.

The news of Jia Hui's tens of thousands of taels in betrothal gifts.

Both he and Qin Keqing knew about it.

They were incredibly excited and happy!

"You have been too extravagant, too extravagant."

"This is only right."

"Honorable father-in-law, Keqing is a beauty of national grace, naturally gifted, and her conduct is gentle and peaceful. Being able to marry her is my good fortune."

Jia Hui said with a smile.

This praise not only made Qin Ye incredibly happy.

Qin Keqing, hiding behind the screen, was also overjoyed!

Jia Hui looked over, sensing something!

His eyes were as hot as the sun in the sky!

"My lady!"

Although he couldn't see clearly through the screen.

The silhouette of her figure was perfect!

Previously, praising Yan Shi as being able to be ten was...
