Chapter 2717: Chapter 2717: Proposal (5)
Qin Shou couldn’t help but give Yang Ruxin a thumbs up, then cheekily leaned over: "Sister Xin, why don’t you find a wife for me too?"
"You could still be missing a wife?" Yang Ruxin curled her lips in disdain.
"I am, really, I need a proper wife." Qin Shou nodded vigorously, "I promise, whoever you introduce, I’ll definitely like."
"Really?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Let me think, oh right, the daughter of Master Li in our town, Miss Cuicui is still unmarried, how about..."
That Li Cuicui had once set her sights on Gu Qingheng, and because she fancied Gu Qingheng, every other man after that seemed beneath her. It was a classic case of "seeing Yang and being ruined for life." I heard her marriage prospects have been a mess, she’s already twenty-two this year, and has been letting herself go more and more; her weight is probably close to two hundred pounds now.
"Sis, I’ll find one myself." Qin Shou swallowed a mouthful and hastily waved his hand.
Yang Ruxin chuckled unscrupulously.
A quarter of an hour later, the two who had been talking alone in the room came out one after the other.
Hao Jian was beaming with excitement: "I’ll go back and prepare right away, within three days I’ll have my dad go propose." After saying this, he dragged Qin Shou along with him and ran off.
"I don’t want to leave yet." Pulled outside, Qin Shou remembered he still wanted Sister Xin to check his pulse.
But Hao Jian didn’t give him the chance, directly stuffing him into a carriage and taking him away.
Yang Ruxin didn’t stop them, she just glanced at Peng Mingzi: "I hope you two won’t let me down in the future, let me not regret meddling in this affair."
"He gives me true affection, and I shall return it sincerely." Peng Mingzi smiled sincerely, "Great gratitude needs no words, in the future, I’ll be at your service with jianjian."
Yang Ruxin laughed out loud: "To have Miss Peng make such a promise, it seems I’ve gained a lot."
Peng Mingzi smiled without speaking, meeting you, wasn’t it a gain for me too?
Hao Jian moved quickly, no one knew how he persuaded Hao Lai, but by the next day, Hao Lai was already taking his wife Wen to the Prefectural City to propose marriage to the Peng Family.
Peng Cheng was a bit bewildered, the Hao Family from the county, he might have once looked down on them, but now he couldn’t afford not to pay attention, after all, Madam Ruyi’s medicinal wine was in the hands of the Hao Family. Don’t underestimate this business, it’s not just about making money, it reveals many complex relationships behind the scenes, as it involves the Empress Dowager’s shares.
Madam Jia wasn’t surprised because her daughter had tipped her off beforehand, but she didn’t make any statement either, just waiting for Peng Cheng, the head of the family, to make a decision.
Meanwhile, Hao Lai and his wife did everything right, confidently sitting there. To be honest, before, they might have felt a bit insecure about marrying the eldest daughter of the Peng Family, since the Hao Family lacked foundation, but now they were full of confidence. Lacking foundation so what? They had backing, Madam Ruyi was supporting the match, who else had such honor? The Hao Family did, they didn’t believe the Peng Family would dare refuse.
Honestly, you had to say, Hao Jian’s cheekiness actually had its roots.
But to be truthful, the Hao family elders were quite fond of Peng Mingzi, she was considered outstanding in the noble female circle in Changhuai State, with unimpeachable character and appearance. Her only flaw now was that she was a bit older, a year older than their son.
But the couple had already discussed it on the way, an older wife wasn’t a bad thing, after marriage, they could have children right away, maybe even give them a few more grandchildren.
