C31 (1/2)
Granny Tao felt that the Qi family brat was not bad, but because of her granddaughter's problem, she had to discuss it with her parents, so she was just praised like that. Moreover, she didn't realize that there was any problem at all, and if it wasn't for her growing up and coming back home later on, she really wouldn't know what the other party was up to, so now that Mother Tao was asking, she felt even more embarrassed.
”Mother?” Mother Tao had only come to ask casually. Although the two of them stood there and thought it was a bit silly, one was her mother-in-law, and the other was her precious daughter, she naturally wouldn't say it out loud. She had to at least save some face, but now, seeing how nervous her mother-in-law was, she couldn't help but feel her heart tighten.
”Let's talk inside.” Granny Tao knew that this matter hadn't been decided yet, and it was best not to mention anything. Otherwise, if someone else were to talk about it, their family's Su Su Su's reputation wouldn't be good.
Compared to marrying into the town, she was actually more satisfied with the marriage. It was clear that at least the Qi family was not in need of food and clothing, and it was also very obvious that the Qi family used to be considered a big family in the past. It was also because of this that Tao Yu Su felt good about it, and at least because of her actions, she did not feel that she was a waste.
After she finished cooking, she heard a sound coming from the courtyard. She thought that someone had returned, but when she remembered that she had just left, she saw a tall and handsome young man standing at the entrance. It was because he had been under the sun for a long time, and he was very dark, not at all like the young man she saw today.
”The rabbit your family wants.” Of course, if his ears weren't red, then that would be even more convincing. And he had already encountered two sullen men. Tao Yusu could tell with a glance that this youth was being bashful. She couldn't help but be stunned.
”Thank you.” He also told them to wait in his grandmother's room and let them come out to get the silver. Now, when the two women went out, they naturally greeted him and told him to sit down and began commenting on him in all kinds of ways, feeling very honest. Such a man was good to women, they knew very well that even if he was like Tao Pa and didn't say much, he would still do the most for his family. He was the one who had raised the second house, and if others had already started talking about it, but he had never felt that his younger brother's days were not good, and taking care of him was also due to him.
Fortunately, he knew that he could not speak of the biggest matter of his family, so he did not mention that his family had gotten the royal eye. Moreover, his family had already decided to live a peaceful life here, so the royal family could not do much to them.
But when the youth returned home, he only said one thing to his grandmother: he liked it.
”…” Grandmother Qi didn't understand, indicating that this damned brat would die if she said anything more? Will it?
As soon as she reacted, she was immediately happy and wanted to go to the Tao family again. If they had the same intentions, she felt that this marriage would be enough. Their family would naturally invite the matchmaker to come over as a matchmaker.
This young man was really good, but he didn't know how heartbreaking it was. If he really didn't say anything like this, then this woman would be in a lot of trouble. Although they knew they couldn't let this go, they would still feel regret.
”What a pity.” The two women said at the same time. They didn't even notice the smell of burning rabbits coming from the kitchen, nor did they notice that this rabbit was even more fragrant than usual.
In any case, she felt that this young man was still pretty good. Although she was only 15 years old, he would still make her feel like she was luring a minor into a trap. But she felt that this world was ancient, and she felt that it was a bit too much to ask the ancient people to be like the modern era, where people who were already 20 years old and could become parents began to date and get married.
Although she didn't really care much about the betrothal gift, but in ancient times, she had shown her greatest sincerity in the betrothal gift. It was one thing if the Qi family didn't have any money, but Tao Yu Su had gone to the Qi family to find out that their wife wasn't the only one who could take care of food and drinks.
Even if the Tao family's daughter was like this, the betrothal gifts would always be accompanied. Her daughter's private house would also be accompanied, and the family would even give her 10 taels of silver. Of course, if her parents were willing to give her more, it wouldn't be a problem, but Tao's mother would naturally feel heartache for her daughter, and giving more wouldn't be a problem.
