Chapter 382: Nanny He helps Mr. Li with the betrothal gift
Early the next morning, Nanny He changed into new clothes and put on some rouge and powder. She looked very energetic, and her temperament and appearance were even better than usual.
When the servants in the mansion saw Nanny He's outfit, they were stunned. They turned around to look and even discussed it.
"Madame He is so beautifully dressed today."
"Yes, is there any happy event today?"
……
Seeing Yaer pruning branches, Nanny He quietly straightened her dress, then put on a natural smile and walked over.
"Ya'er, prune the branches."
Yaer smiled and nodded: "Yes."
When she raised her eyes, she saw a completely different person from usual.
"Madam He, is that you?" Oh my god, could the person have been replaced?
Nanny He scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"So what are you wearing today?" She had never seen Madam He dressed so gorgeously.
"I came here today for something important."
Shen Jiarou heard the noise and came through the window. She was also surprised to see the refreshed Nanny He.
"What day is it today? Madam He is dressed so solemnly." Suddenly she thought of something. Could it be...
Grandpa Sun and grandma Sun came to the yard, and Ruan Qingling also came in to invite Shen Jiarou.
"Princess, Madam He, please step out for a moment."
Shen Jiarou put down the script and got off the couch.
"Madame He."
When Nanny He saw the girl in a light yellow dress, she bowed respectfully.
"Your servant greets the princess. Please be hello, princess."
"No need to be polite, please take a seat!" She still respected Madam He very much. After all, she was the first teaching madam who had always been with her.
Everyone was a little shocked when they saw the 1,200 taels of silver that Nanny He took out.
Shen Jiarou raised her eyes and then smiled slightly.
"Ya'er, Brother Li's attitude is good."
Yaer was so shocked that she couldn't speak at this time, and Grandpa Sun and Grandma Sun were shocked on the spot.
One thousand taels of silver, they had never seen so much money in their lives.
"This..." Grandpa Sun looked a little frightened, and Grandma Sun was also a little uneasy.
Shen Jiarou noticed their discomfort and looked seriously at Yaer who had not yet come back to her senses.
"Ya'er, accept it. We'll be a family from now on. Getting married and having children will cost a lot of money. You also have to learn how to run your own little family."
With her encouragement, Yaer took the banknote with trembling hands.
"Thank you, Madam He." Thinking of something, she took off the bamboo bracelet in her hand and put it in Madam He's hand.
"Madam He, this is your reward, please don't despise it."
Nanny He happily accepted it: "This is my first time as a matchmaker, so I will accept it without hesitation. I wish you a long and happy marriage."
Yaer shyly responded, "Thank you, Madam He."
Grandpa Sun and grandma Sun's faces were wrinkled with smiles, and you can see that they are happy from the bottom of their hearts. The future son-in-law gave a betrothal gift of one thousand and two taels of silver, which shows that he values their granddaughter.
After lunch, Shen Jiarou and others took Yaer out. They came to a familiar clothing store. The proprietress was stunned when she saw them, and then she showed surprise and warm hospitality.
"You're back, please take a seat!"
Shen Jiarou smiled at her and said, "Boss, please help us make a wedding dress for Yaer. Time is tight, so please make a simple style."
The proprietress was stunned: "The little girl is getting married?"
Yaer nodded shyly and had her size measured by the proprietress. Then she chose the cloth and Shen Jiarou took out the money to pay the bill.
"Princess, I have some silver."
"If you have it, then keep it. You will have many other uses for it in the future."
Zhen Luosang put his arm around Yaer's shoulders and said, "The first taboo when following the princess is not to refuse when you shouldn't."
Zhang Zirou agreed: "That's right, this is also the princess's intention, you can't refuse."
After leaving the clothing shop, everyone came to the jewelry shop. Looking at all kinds of exquisite accessories, Yaer was dazzled.
Mr. Li and Feng Jingyun were passing by the shop, and when they saw them they walked in.
"girl."
"Now that you're here, Yaer is confused. Brother Li, please help Yaer choose."
Before leaving, she received a silver note of 1,200 taels from Mr. Li, asking her to pay for Yaer.
Mr. Li walked forward to take a look, then pointed to a large gold bracelet inlaid with some jade, with green jade and white jade crossed. It was exquisite and elegant without losing its graceful beauty.
"Please take this out, thank you!" Everyone around Shen Jiarou was very polite, from the nanny and the housekeeper to the guards and servants.
The shopkeeper carefully took out the gold bracelet, and Mr. Li picked it up and put it directly on Yaer's wrist. It was just the right size.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"
"Five hundred taels."
Yaer was startled when she heard this and quickly reached out to take it down.
"Ya'er, don't move, let's buy this." He saw the look of love in her eyes just now, and he would buy it for his beloved woman as long as he could afford it.
Yaer shook her head: "Brother Li, this is too expensive."
Mr. Li has a doting look on his face: "You deserve it, be obedient and wear it."
Afraid that Yaer would refuse, Mr. Li quickly looked at his own princess, hoping that she could help persuade her.
Receiving his gaze, Shen Jiarou smiled and said, "Wear it. The old people and those who have experienced it say that the first thing to look at when judging whether a man is good or not is whether he is willing to spend money on you."
Nanny He was stunned: "Is there such a sentence?"
Shen Jiarou seemed a little embarrassed, then smiled calmly.
“Yes, but I summarized it.”
After everyone's strong persuasion, Yaer finally agreed to wear it, and the shopkeeper's face was filled with smiles.
"We still have many hairpins, pearl flowers, and velvet flowers here. If you see anything else you need, feel free to take a look." This man was very generous. Maybe if he said a few more words, he could close a few more deals.
When they entered the shop, everyone had nothing in their hands except handkerchiefs and round fans. Yaer, who came out, was wearing a gold bracelet worth five hundred taels of silver on her wrist.
Mr. Li was carrying a brocade box, which contained the hairpins, pearl flowers, hairbands, rings and earrings he had just bought.
Village chief Qin came to the county town to do some business and came across a group of young girls. He was shocked.
all?
Is he dazzled?
Feng Jingyun felt someone was watching them. He raised his eyes and looked around, finally stopping his gaze on Village Chief Qin.
"Village Chief Qin?"
Bao Zhiqing was stunned. He looked up and saw a familiar figure. He quickly reported to Shen Jiarou.
"Girl, Village Chief Qin is over there."
Shen Jiarou, who was eating a candied haws, was stunned. She looked up in surprise and met the gaze of Village Chief Qin.
"It's really Yi Yi." Village chief Qin was very surprised. It turned out that the girl Yi Yi had returned.
Shen Jiarou smiled at her warmly and brightly: "Uncle Qin, long time no see, how have you been recently?"
Village Chief Qin nodded repeatedly: "I'm fine, how about you?"
"Very good. Would you like some candied haws? I'll treat you."
Village Chief Qin waved his hand and said, "I'm already old, you guys eat."
When old friends meet, it is inevitable to reminisce about the past, so everyone went to a nearby tea stall, which kept the owner and his family of three very busy.
"Sir, your light tea."
