Chapter 526: A Golden Phoenix Flies Out of the Grassy Nest (5)_1
"Ziyin, why didn’t you give me any hint?" Guihua looked at her with a pretended annoyance.
"I just said that they would come to propose. I had no idea they would come directly to give the betrothal gifts." Lin Ziyin had never seen such a grand gesture in this life or her previous one, especially with so many people surrounding and teasing her. She was genuinely a little bit embarrassed. "I had planned to invite my uncle and aunt over for lunch."
"You, younger siblings, should also come over, so we don’t have to invite you later." Hui Niang casually put out the invitation.
If Prince Ling was just coming with a matchmaker to propose, the Lin Family would certainly handle it quietly. They would only invite He Fuxing’s family over for a meal, just as token. But with Chu Suifeng bringing gifts for the engagement, it had become a big deal. The Lin Family would have to invite a few persons of status to keep them company.
Being the closest to the Lin Family, He Fuxing’s family would naturally have to come. Of course, on today’s occasion, they couldn’t miss out on inviting Lou Zheng and some respected elders from the village.
"They’ve set off the firecrackers."
"Such a loud sound, a good omen."
While they were speaking, the sound of firecrackers started ringing around the village. Then, a lot of villagers gathered around the Lin Family’s doorway to join in the fun.
According to village customs, the new son-in-law’s betrothal gifts must be displayed. Doing so was not for the purpose of show-off by any household.
