The meal was in full swing here.
Chai Shao returned.
Yo! What wind blew this distinguished guest here?
Upon seeing Fang Er, whose mouth was still greasy from the food.
Chai Shao was very surprised.
Was it delivered right to his door?
Has Duke Chai eaten yet?
Fang Er merely glanced up at him.
Then he continued to bury his head in eating.
There was only the last piece of the small slices on the plate.
He had to quickly destroy the evidence.
The others were the same.
Chai Shao watched their actions, what was going on?
No one even got up to greet him when he entered the house?
What were they eating in the pot?
Such a familiar taste!
Then he took a closer look.
Holy cow!
Fang Er was already picking up that last slice and stuffing it into his mouth.
Chai Yue still had plenty on her plate.
After all, she was a girl and ate slowly.
Zaiwei, did you bring out my bear paw?
Chai Shao roared.
Damn it! My cured bear paw that I've been marinating for half a year!
I didn't even dare to eat it during the New Year.
Did you sneakily gobble it up while I was away?
No, no, no, Dad, you're mistaken.
Chai Zhewei said, and while he was saying it, he shoved the last piece of meat on his plate into his mouth without even rinsing it.
Dad? There's still half a plate here.
Chai Yue pushed her half-plate to Chai Shao.
Chai Shao looked at the few remaining slices of meat.
He instantly wanted to beat Chai Zhewei into a bear!
He glanced at Fang Er, then suppressed the impulse.
His expression changed, and he leaned closer to Fang Er.
An Zhi, how did this bear paw taste?
Huh? Delicious! This is the first time I've seen a kid marinate bear paw like cured meat.
Fang Er wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
But do you know why I prepared this bear paw?
Chai Shao smiled and pulled up a chair to sit down.
Perhaps you were preparing to give it to the former emperor?
Fang Er said.
No, I told you, this is prepared as a dowry for my daughter! kanshu伍.ξà
Chai Shao said with a smug look.
What?
Using cured bear paw as a dowry?
What kind of person would come up with such an idea?
Duke Chai, are you joking?
Other people's dowries are gold, silver, jewels, deeds to land and houses. This is the first time I've heard of using bear paw as a dowry. kanshu le
Fang Er looked disbelieving.
General Fang, Yue'er has finished eating. Dad, you guys take your time.
As soon as she heard Chai Shao's words, Chai Yue couldn't sit still.
She quickly found an excuse and left.
Watching his daughter walk away.
Chai Shao could finally relax.
Hahahaha, believe it or not, that's up to you! Anyway, you ate Yue'er's dowry, so how do you want to deal with this?
No, Chongzi and Da Xiang also ate it, and Big Brother Chai had a share too!
You can't just blame me!
Fang Er was dumbfounded.
Well, Da Wei is Yue'er's brother, so it's okay for him to eat it.
However, Chongzi and Da Xiang, did you two really eat it?
Chai Shao said, while drawing a three-foot-long waist knife from his side.
Then he picked up an apple from the table and started peeling it.
The tip of the knife was pointed at them intentionally or unintentionally.
Fang Er looked speechless.
This was naked intimidation!
No, no, no! Nephew didn't eat a single bite!
Changsun Chong and Zhang Da Xiang shook their heads repeatedly.
You're kidding!
Chai Shao said it was a dowry. Although they both liked Chai Yue very much, damn it!
Old Chai was holding a knife in his hand!
Moreover, his intention to take Fang Er as a son-in-law had spread since the grand court assembly.
Alright, Duke Chai, you tell me how to deal with this!
Fang Er spread his hands.
Deal with what? Hurry up and prepare the betrothal gifts! Get someone to propose! It's settled!
Chai Shao sheathed his knife and glared at Fang Er.
As if he would cut Fang Er if he dared to disagree.
How could Fang Er agree! kand
Betrothal gifts!
In his previous life, the mother-in-law's demands would make the earth tremble!
If it was the father-in-law speaking now, would it be any less?
Without a hundred thousand or eighty thousand strings of cash, would it be acceptable?
My family is poor! Where would I get the money for betrothal gifts?
Fang Er spread his hands and was about to continue speaking.
He was interrupted by Chai Zhewei.
Brother! I forgot about this matter! The colored glaze sold very well today, and I'll send you the payment tomorrow, a total of two thousand strings.
Brother Fang, and me too, I'll send you the payment for the soap tomorrow, a total of seven hundred strings.
Changsun Chong also chimed in.
Due to the large supply volume, the amount of money was considerable.
Therefore, Fang Er and they had agreed to settle payments every ten days.
Unexpectedly, these two guys said this at this time.
How many copper coins were these? The daughter of Princess Pingyang! Duke Chai's daughter! What could a few thousand strings do?
Are you looking down on someone?
Especially you! Brother Da Wei! That's your sister!
Fang Er suddenly stood up and pointed at their noses.
Hahahaha, so it's because of this!
Chai Shao pulled him back to his seat.
You wrote IOUs! I heard about you writing thirty thousand strings of IOUs to the Ministry of Revenue.
Therefore, I allow you to write IOUs! How about it?
State a number for the betrothal gifts that you think is worthy of Yue'er, and this matter will be settled.
Da Wei, go get the paper and pen!
Changsun Chong and Zhang Da Xiang were stunned!
What kind of operation was this?
Why did they feel a bit dumbfounded!
Chai Zhewei was not stunned; he stood up directly and went to the study to get paper and pen.
Come on! Brother Fang! Write with confidence! Write whatever you want, you can deduct it from the payment slowly! Big brother is not in a hurry for money!
