Chapter 381: Chapter 381. Lu Chen agreed to marry into the family

Father Qiao looked around the Hundred Savory restaurant by Candlelight. “There used to be only one small room in the Hundred Savory restaurant. The Hundred Savory restaurant grew up with the Jin Niang. The Jin Niang was here before she was a year old.

“Sigh, it’s a pity that I really don’t have the energy to take care of the Hundred Savory restaurant and protect the Jin Niang.

Lu Chen, even if I beg you, you might as well just be homeless and have no one to rely on. You’ve forgotten what happened earlier. You said that you were born in 10 years of Hui Lin. If your birthday was earlier, you’d be 17 years old. If it was later, you’d only be 16 years old, at this age, I’m sure you didn’t have a wife before.

Just marry the Brocade Lady. Heaven’s will has already been decided. That day, the Brocade Lady and I went to the FA Xi Temple to seek marriage. When we came back, we met you on the river. Isn’t this Bodhisattva’s blessing?”

Father Qiao’s hands trembled as he held Lu Chen’s hands. “Please help us. If you recover your memory in the future, it’s fine if you want to separate. Just let the Jin Niang have a son to rely on..

“We won’t be robbed of the family assets that we risked our lives for her!”

Father Qiao trembled as he said and wanted to kneel down. “I’m begging you. On the account that we saved your life, will you agree to marry into the Qiao Family?”

Lu Chen said, “Benefactor, don’t be like this. Please get up first. Let me think about it for one night.”

“Okay, okay.”Father Qiao looked exhausted.

..

The next morning, Lu Chen was woken up by the noise outside.

He heard Qiao Jinniang’s beautiful voice. It was not as soft and soft as usual. It was the first time Lu Chen knew how sharp Wu Nong’s soft language was.

He could roughly understand the meaning of the dialect.

“Qiao Wei, how much silver did you steal from the account? And you ate the yellow croaker that was just brought from Yinzhou this morning before dawn? Do you know how rare that yellow croaker is?”

Qiao Wei was dug out of his bed by Qiao Jinniang and the manservant in the Hundred Savory Restaurant, he said angrily, “So what if I’m hungry and eat a yellow croaker? I heard that Your Hundred Savory restaurant can earn over a thousand taels of silver a year. I only took two taels of silver. Do you need to come here so early in the morning to cause trouble?”

Qiao jinniang said angrily, “Even if the hundred savory restaurant earns over a thousand taels of silver, it’s not yours. Hurry up and return the two taels of silver, or I’ll take you to the authorities!”

Qiao Wei spat, “Qiao Jinniang, you’re just a money-losing good. No one is willing to marry into your family!

“The Hundred Savory restaurant will be my property sooner or later. So what if I take some of my future money? “I heard that you’ve decided on a wedding dress worth two hundred taels of silver. So what if I take two taels of silver?”

Qiao Jinniang was so angry that she was about to burst into flames.

Qiao Wei continued to provoke her, “Your parents are terminally ill. They might die tomorrow morning. When that time comes, even if you don’t want to hand the Hundred Savory restaurant over to the Qiao family, you’ll have to Scream!”

Qiao Jinniang raised the rolling pin in her hand and fiercely knocked Qiao Wei’s head, with red eyes, she said, “Your parents are the ones who are going to die tomorrow. You cursed my parents, and I will beat you until even your own parents don’t recognize you! Star anise, fennel, glutinous rice… Go!”

The maids and waiters in the Hundred Savory restaurant all took out their weapons and surrounded Qiao Wei, beating him until he let out a series of miserable screams, comparable to a butcher slaughtering a pig in his house.

Qiao Jinniang beat him up, but she still didn’t get over her hatred and said, “Strip him of his clothes and throw him to the city gate!”

Qiao Wei was stunned by the beating and was thrown out.

Lu Chen opened the door and saw Qiao Wei, who was beyond recognition. He looked at Qiao Jinniang, who had her hair in a bun and her hairpin slanted. He did not expect this young lady to be so hot-tempered at the age of fifteen.

Being a son-in-law had already lost the rigidity of a man. He could not bear to marry such a hot-tempered and Willful Tigress.

Lu Chen thought that he should go to Father Qiao now and explain to him that he would repay the favor of saving his life. Even if he could not marry Qiao Jinniang, he would protect Qiao Jinniang.

But at this time, he heard the sound of a woman crying from the opposite room.

He entered and saw Qiao Jinniang sitting pitifully on the doorsill. She saw that he had a pair of bright deer eyes with tears in them. She was clearly crying, but Lu Chen could not see a trace of ugliness.

The Beauty’s tears were heartbreaking.

Lu Chen handed a handkerchief to Qiao Jinniang. “You were clearly the one who beat her up, but you’re still crying?”

Qiao jinniang whimpered, “He cursed my parents, but if I really can’t find a husband to marry into my family, perhaps this hundred savory restaurant will really be given to him in the future. I’m not convinced!”

“Whimpered…”

Lu Chen squatted down and looked at Qiao Jinniang. “Who said I can’t find a husband to marry into my family? Don’t Cry.”

Qiao Jinniang looked at Lu Chen and sniffled. “Are you really willing to marry into my family?”

“Yes, Don’t Cry, you poor thing.”

Qiao Jinniang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and turned her tears into a smile. “I’m not a poor thing, you’re the poor thing. You Don’t even remember your parents!”

Lu Chen said, “If you say so, I’ve changed my mind!”

Qiao Jinniang quickly grabbed Lu Chen’s sleeve and said, “Don’t. You said you would marry into the family. You Can’t go back on your word.”

..

After father Qiao heard Lu Chen’s reply, he was extremely happy. He was afraid that he and mother Qiao wouldn’t be able to hold on for long, and he was also afraid that the Qiao family would cause trouble, so the wedding date was set in a hurry.

Ever since they were seriously ill, they had not even held a wedding banquet for Qiao Jinniang.

Even when marrying into a family, they had to follow the six rites. However, the six rites had to come in a hurry. The day of the wedding was the same day as Qiao Jinniang’s wedding.

The clothes that Lu Chen was wearing at the beginning, Qiao Jinniang was afraid that she might be infected by the poisonous gas in the water, so she had thrown them away long ago. Fortunately, he still had a jade pendant that was not of such a good quality.

This jade pendant made Lu Chen certain that he was not from a wealthy family. After all, this jade pendant could only be used as five silver coins.

It could only be used to buy a silver hairpin.

On the day of Qiao Jinniang’s marriageable birthday, all the good sisters in the neighborhood came to celebrate.

Lu Chen saw the exquisite jade hairpin that Qiao Jinniang’s parents had prepared for her.

Mother Qiao said, “This jade hairpin was given to me by the old madam when mother was working in marquis an Yuan’s estate. This was the hairpin that the old madam had brought when she was marriageable.”

Upon hearing the words marquis an yuan, something flashed through Lu Chen’s mind. It was extremely quick, but he could not grasp anything.

After the banquet, Lu Chen went to Qiao Jinniang’s room and placed the silver hairpin in her hands. “Here, it’s a marriageable gift for you.”

Qiao Jinniang smiled. “Thank you, brother Chen.”

Lu Chen listened to her sweetly call him brother Chen and smiled. “Shall I put it on you?”

Qiao Jinniang gave the silver hairpin to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen gave the hairpin to Qiao Jinniang. “It looks good.”

“Of course I look good.”

Lu Chen: “I’m talking about the hairpin!”

Qiao Jinniang closed the door, her shy face burning up.

..

In the Xie family of Jiangnan, Lan Xin walked up to Xie Yun and said, “Master, master, that little shopkeeper of the Hundred Savory restaurant is getting married. I saw her future husband at her birthday celebration today, and he looks even better than you!”
