Chapter 220 - 157 Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop_1
At noon, after hosting Wan Dazhong and his son for lunch, Lady Wu was delighted and prepared several excellent dishes with the help of Qian Xiaoyu.
Qian Sangui felt that the jar of Golden Black Snake Bone Wine must be ready, so he had someone bring it out. He chuckled, "Today, let Wan Erge and Da Zhong taste this rare wine," and then told the story of the Golden Black Dragon Snake.
Wan father and son were extremely pleased to hear this, commenting that they had never heard of such a strange snake and that today they were fortunate to taste it.
Qian Sangui laughed and said, "If you want to drink it again in the future, feel free to come over anytime."
After hearing the words reported by Lady Wu, Qian Manxia was too embarrassed to step out of the house and even ate her meals hidden away in her own little room.
The next day, Qian’s third wife received Matchmaker Wang with great ceremony, not only agreeing to the match but also giving her a red envelope containing two hundred Wen Money.
It is uncommon for the bride’s side to give thank-you money to the matchmaker, and when they do, it is never so generous. Matchmaker Wang was thrilled, clutching the red envelope on her way back, cheerfully spreading the news of the betrothal between the Wan and Qian families to everyone she met in the village.
In the evening, Qian Sangui invited Old man Qian and Old woman Qian from the Main Courtyard to dinner. Because of Auntie Die’s situation, he did not feel comfortable inviting Qian Dagui and his wife. The elderly couple also liked Wan Dazhong and had been looking forward to his proposal. They too were extremely happy to hear the good news.
Thinking about Auntie Die and the other granddaughters, Old man Qian sighed and said, "I was just telling the old lady how we haven’t done anything shameful, yet each granddaughter’s marriage is less than ideal. Now, things are finally looking up, with Auntie Xia about to marry a husband that pleases everyone."
Qian Sangui said, "Our family’s fortunes will continue to improve, and once we’re strong, the in-laws won’t dare to mistreat our nieces anymore. As for Auntie Die, we just need to look harder in the future and we’ll find a good family for her. Better not to marry her off into a bad family; it’s preferable she stays at home where she has support."
