Chapter 295 - Chapter 295: Chapter 288: A Woman’s Fear of Marrying the Wrong Man_1 (2/2)
“I am grateful for everyone’s help in carrying the bridal gifts to the Wang Furen’s house, and I will definitely reward you afterward!”
Hearing that Qin Niu would give reward money, the crowd waiting in the courtyard all smiled brightly.
They usually had no opportunity to enter Qin Niu’s grand mansion.
Now they had the chance to go into the front courtyard; they took this opportunity to broaden their horizons and admire Qin Niu’s grand mansion.
The flowers and plants in the front courtyard and the hall were mainly arranged by Tang Caixian.
She had put a lot of thought into it, making the entire mansion look particularly elegant and full of vitality.
“Master Qin is too polite!”
“It is our honor to do something for Master Qin!”
The people were more than willing to help Qin Niu carry the bridal gifts.
Even without the promise of reward money, they were glad to help. If they could become familiar faces to Qin Niu, they might be able to count on some favor or consideration in the future.
This is the most enticing aspect of power; it can easily mobilize massive amounts of social resources at a very low cost.
Qin Niu, dressed in the Insect Master’s robe, went to Wang Furen’s house together with Auntie Hua.
Behind them, a group of villagers carried the bridal gifts.
“Haha, please come in!”
Wang Furen had heard the commotion and couldn’t wait to open the gate, greeting them with a beaming smile.
Both parties entered the main hall, took their seats according to their status, and the matchmaker proceeded with the marriage proposal.
Since the girl’s family had agreed to marry their daughter to Qin Niu, the matter was settled very easily.
“Uncle Wang, thank you for giving me your daughter in marriage. In addition to these bridal gifts, I am going to give you an extra hundred taels of silver money as a token of my respect. Buy whatever you want, eat whatever you like, it’s all up to you.”
Qin Niu was indeed generous, immediately pulling out a silver note of a hundred taels and handing it to Wang Furen.
“Oh my, you child, with such generous bridal gifts, and now even more silver money! It hasn’t been easy for you either, so I accept your kindness. I only have one daughter, and from now on, you’ll be like a son to me.”
Wang Furen took the silver note, his hands trembling with happiness.
He was a businessman and loving money was in his nature.
A hundred taels of silver was a sizable sum, even for someone of his modest means.
“Please rest assured, Uncle Wang, I will take good care of Wan Yan and will always honor you. There is another matter I would like to discuss with you and Wan Yan, in the presence of Auntie Hua, the matchmaker.”
After giving the silver, Qin Niu took advantage of Wang Furen’s good mood to discuss another important matter.
“Call the young miss over!”
Wang Furen seemed to guess a bit and instructed Nurse Wu to call Wang Wanyan over.
He then pressed the silver note on top of the table and picked up his cup of tea to drink.
Auntie Hua’s eyes were spinning with curiosity. She wondered what matter Qin Niu wanted to discuss.
Wang Wanyan quickly descended the stairs with light steps.
She glanced timidly at Qin Niu but smiled nonetheless.
“Master Qin has something he wishes to discuss with you and me. Please take a seat here,”
Wang Furen turned to signal to his daughter.
The father and daughter surely had a very deep affection for each other.
Conscientiously speaking, Wang Furen had treated his daughter well. Because she was the only child, there was no problem of favoring sons over daughters.
Wang Wanyan sat down gracefully.
“Wan Yan, to marry you is a blessing that I, Qin Niu, have cultivated over several lifetimes. I will treat you well and we will spend our lives together.”
“Mhm!”
She nodded shyly, this time not avoiding his gaze but boldly looking at Qin Niu.
Her eyes were pure and clear as water, as if they could speak.
Marrying such a beautiful girl made Qin Niu feel extremely content.
