Seeing this, the servants at home and the workers in the front yard worked even harder than before.
Time flew by, and it was already May 26th. This day marked the formal engagement between the Lu and Feng families.
Qiao Mai didn't attend the event; she sent two kitchen maids in her place.
In the afternoon, Shopkeeper Lu came to her house with an unpleasant expression.
"Sister, you were right."
"How much is the betrothal gift?"
"Thirty carriages. I checked the gift list, and after double-checking the betrothal gift, it doesn't exceed one thousand silver taels."
"Don't feel uneasy about it. The Feng family has many descendants and supports several scholars. Though they may be wealthy, it's only on the surface. By providing such a generous dowry for Ruxin, they won't dare to covet it. After she marries into their family, Ruxin will stand tall. It will be considered a beneficial match for us."
