Chapter 1084: Engagement

Su Rongrong's appearance couldn't be called peerless. It could only be called beautiful!

Compared to the Hou Fu girls with excellent genes, it was slightly inferior.

But she had been in and out of the Hou Fu for a long time, learned the rules and etiquette in the Hou Fu, and read books for so many years, so her temperament was very prominent.

Among the small households in the capital, she was the only one who had such an outstanding temperament, beautiful appearance, and had properly read books. All other girls were compared by her.

She didn't need to do anything; just standing there, without even a smile, could make boys of the same age look dazed.

Boys from commoner families had never seen a young lady with such outstanding temperament. They couldn't put it into words themselves; they just knew that the Su girl was exceptionally attractive, making people unable to help but take a few extra looks, and after looking, wanting to look again.

Other girls, even if they had a pretty face, compared to Su Rongrong, always felt like they were a big cut short.

The key is that the families are well-matched.

Upon learning that the Su family was looking for a marriage match for Su Rongrong, the surrounding neighbors, especially those with sons of marriageable age, all had their hearts stirred. Even if the mothers-in-law-to-be couldn't stand Su Rongrong's slightly delicate temperament, for the sake of the generous dowry, they still wanted to crowd in and give it a try. If it happened to work out, their family would gain a wealthy daughter-in-law.

Even if it didn't work, it didn't matter. It just happened to break the daydream of her own boy.

As for whether her own family could take out enough betrothal gifts, no one cared.

Invited a matchmaker to the door, and after talking, they knew that the Su family already had a suitable marriage partner, and the two families were looking at each other. Others were not considered.

The surrounding people inevitably muttered a few words: Su family, don't tell me they want to climb a high branch.

Some even guessed wildly, "Don't tell me they want to marry the girl to the Hou Fu?"

Some gossip reached Chen Xiaolan's ears, and Chen Xiaolan was worried that her daughter was on a blind date, so it was not appropriate to make a big move, so she endured it for the time being. If it were normal times, she would have taken a broom and hit the door.

She was a spicy one.

Young, without father or mother. Taking her brother to marry. If her personality were a bit soft, she would have long since been unable to live.

She had long seen through that the world is bullying the soft and fearing the hard. Those who gossip, she remembered them all. After the child's marriage is settled, she will settle accounts with those gossips.

Invited a matchmaker, and the Su family and the Mu family began a formal look.

The parents of both sides met, and the children also took the opportunity to see each other.

They met twice, and the chat was okay. The situation of each other's family was relayed by Medical Official Mu and Chen Guanlou. They didn't just say good things; what problems the other party's family had, what shortcomings they had, were all told truthfully.

Don't wait until after marriage to pull skin.

Regarding betrothal gifts and dowries, the matchmaker ran between the two sides.

The Mu family looked inconspicuous, and the name was just a Mu family medical clinic. But after all, it was a medical family; they couldn't say anything else, but they definitely weren't short of money. Just revealing the number of betrothal gifts, the matchmaker clicked her tongue in wonder.

The matchmaker ran to the Su family and revealed the Mu family's sincerity.

Chen Xiaolan simply said the dowry prepared by her own family, and said: "The child's uncle prepared a dowry separately, we didn't count it together. Her uncle's side, the number is afraid it is a bit big. Specifically, I didn't ask."

She said this, in fact, to indicate to the Mu family that the Su family didn't covet the Mu family's betrothal gifts, even if the Su family was short of money, but the child had a rich uncle. So for the dowry, it was only more, not less.

These are all women competing.

The two families talked about almost everything in all aspects, and they were quite satisfied with each other, so they picked an auspicious day and formally wrote down the marriage and settled the marriage.

As for the betrothal gifts, wait until the wedding date is set.

The Su family's meaning is that Rongrong is still young and wants to stay for two more years. It is best to set the wedding date two years later.

The Mu family had no opinion.

The Mu family was also worried that getting married early would delay Mu Wenxu's energy in studying and researching medicine. Two years is just right, just right for peace of mind to study. After marriage, wanting to study with one heart and one mind without distractions would be difficult.

Su Rongrong's lifelong event was settled, and Chen Guanlou was truly relieved.

If it weren't for fear of delaying Mu Wenxu's study of medicine, he would have wanted to take that kid to make money and save for his wife's capital.

Medical Official Mu warned him repeatedly: "Don't spoil the child, don't spoil Wenxu's character, don't take him to some messy places."

"I am Rongrong's uncle, not your Mu family's Wenxu's uncle. Old Mu, you worry a bit too much." Chen Guanlou couldn't laugh or cry; he was definitely thinking for Su Rongrong and would never take Mu Wenxu to some messy places to hang out.

Medical Official Mu didn't trust him. In this regard, he truly had no credibility to speak of.

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to argue.

Medical Official Mu teased again: "The two families have become in-laws, master, you can't call me Old Mu, Old Mu anymore. At least call me Old Master to listen."

Chen Guanlou laughed happily when he heard this, hugging Medical Official Mu's shoulder. "In my place, you will always be Old Mu. Do you want me to think of a way to get a few medical books from the palace, as Rongrong's dowry, to bring to your Mu family?"

"No need! What medical books are there in the palace. Truly brilliant medical books are all held in the hands of major medical families and are not passed on. Just like our Mu family, we also have exclusive secret recipes, only passed on to Mu family men."

"Cherishing the broom! If you encounter troubled times, I'm afraid it will be lost." Chen Guanlou simply commented.

Medical Official Mu was very unhappy when he heard this, blowing his beard and staring, disliking him for being a crow's mouth.

"Even if I encounter troubled times, my Mu family's medical skills cannot be lost."

Chen Guanlou was too lazy to argue with the other party; this kind of thing has different views and different positions, don't expect to convince the other party. Respect each other!

Having free time, he went down to the A-grade prison to patrol.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen..."

Someone called him.

He looked over in the direction of the sound; an old man was squatting in the cell, looking old and decrepit, dying.

The prison guard hurriedly said: "Report to the master, this is Qin Master who was locked in at the end of the year."

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly. "Is Qin Master calling me?"

Qin Master pulled the cell bars and stood up suddenly. Looking at the agile movements, it didn't look like he was seventy or eighty.

Initially understanding, in fact, Qin Master was only fifty-something, not old at all among officials. People seventy or eighty are still struggling in the officialdom. At his age, if things go well, he can still struggle for twenty or thirty years.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, can you help me kill someone!"

Chen Guanlou heard this, and his face immediately went cold, saying extremely seriously: "What kind of place do you think this is, what kind of person do you think I am? I am the Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng, a proper official under the Great Gan Dynasty. Although the rank is the lowest in the official order, I am also a person who eats public food properly. This is not a hit squad, and I am not a thug; I am not responsible for killing people."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen misunderstood. It's all my fault for not explaining clearly. Someone is harming our Qin family. If it is not stopped in time, the Qin family will be wiped out! It's all my fault, my fault for having eyes but not seeing! I am ashamed of the ancestors of the Qin family!"

Qin Master wailed, the miserable appearance was moving.

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow. "Stop wailing! Wailing is useless! You tell me first, what is the situation." ===== CHAPTER 1085 =====
