180. Preparing the bride price

Author: Yueshangyunwai

Shen Ruoxi looked at Zhong Zhouyi blankly: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Zhong Zhouyi nodded, not daring to look at Shen Ruoxi: "I know, I know very well, Ruoxi, this matter is my fault. If you want to make up for it, I'm really sorry for causing you to suffer these rumors."

Shen Ruoxi's voice was relaxed: "It doesn't matter to me. I didn't hear it and I don't care. After all, I am innocent."

Zhong Zhouyi blamed himself: "But these words are too ugly after all. I, I am not willing to let you be seriously injured like this. Ruoxi, will you marry me?"

Shen Ruoxi wants to marry Zhong Zhouyi. She doesn't hate him. He doesn't live long, so it fits her view of unmarried marriage in a disguised way: "Do you really want to marry me?"

"Yes." Zhong Zhouyi became even more nervous, "Actually, I have always wanted to marry you, but my body doesn't allow it..."

Shen Ruoxi didn't ask again, what if Zhong Zhouyi was worried about his health and regretted it: "I agreed."

Zhong Zhouyi suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and he looked at Qiao Junzhi with joy and excitement: "Are you really agreeing to marry me?"

"Really." Shen Ruoxi nodded.

"Ruoxi, wait for me, I will go back immediately to prepare for the wedding. Three letters, six appointments, eight sedans, nothing less. I will go back immediately to prepare..." With that, Zhong Zhouyi left excitedly.

Shen Ruoxi stood by the river and looked at the hurried figures: "Is it really not a problem to leave me alone by the river like this?"

There were also some people nearby who couldn't laugh or cry when they saw this scene.

Liu Ning, the eldest daughter-in-law of Barefoot Doctor, walked towards Shen Ruoxi and said, "You two are actually a good match. Don't worry about the nonsense in the village. Let's prepare for the wedding from now on."

There are still some people who did not follow the rumors and remained rational.

Shen Ruoxi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

…

News that Shen Ruoxi and Zhong Zhouyi were about to get married soon spread in the village.

After hearing this, Shen Wani smiled with satisfaction and finally completed the matter: "Shen Ruoxi, you can get back on track soon, just wait."

After returning to the room after dinner, Shen Ruohan took out the money bag from selling ice powder today, poured out the copper coins inside, and started counting: "One, two, three,..."

Shen Ruoxi walked into the room and heard Shen Ruohan counting money: "Counting money again?"

"Yeah." Shen Ruohan looked back at Shen Ruoxi, "Second sister, this is the money I made from selling ice powder. I haven't even started counting the money from selling cakes."

"Do you need help?" Shen Ruoxi came over with a smile and sat aside, waiting to teach everyone.

"Okay, one person is not as happy as two people. Second sister, come and count together." Shen Ruohan moved the box containing the copper plates towards Shen Ruoxi.

Shen Ruoxi took a piece of hemp rope and stringed a hundred copper plates on it one by one.

Here comes the sad thing - after the two of them made a string, there were only twenty-three copper coins left.

Shen Ruohan was helpless: "Looking at so many copper plates, it turns out there are only more than two hundred, which is too few. It would be great if each of these copper plates were silver ingots."

Shen Ruoxi smiled and said: "As long as you work hard, there will be a day."

"Yes." Shen Ruohan brought another small box over, "Second sister, this is the money from selling cakes, let's count it together."

"Okay." Shen Ruoxi wrote down the account to Shen Ruohan, then took another hemp rope and helped count the money again.

This time it was more, a thousand copper coins, which surprised Shen Ruoxi: "Are flower cakes and cookies so easy to sell? They can even sell for a thousand coins a day?"

"Not bad." Shen Ruohan said, "With the addition of Xu Qingfu and Shen Weiwei, I can make money a lot faster."

"Very good, I have to work harder in the future." Shen Ruoxi thought for a while, "How about I put up a sign at the hospital tomorrow and collect flowers for you?"

"Okay." Shen Ruohan said happily, "I'm sorry to bother you, second sister."

Shen Ruoxi patted Shen Ruohan on the shoulder: "The family says it's troublesome or not, do your best, the second sister takes good care of you."

Shen Ruohan nodded heavily: "Yes."

The two counted the money, and Shen Ruohao and Xu Qinglan walked in. After a while, Shen Suhong also returned to the room and started class together.

…

Gushengtang.

Shen Ruoxi took out a big wooden sign and wrote on it: This medical clinic is looking for the following flowers: wisteria, sophora flower, jasmine, lily, peach blossom and more than ten kinds of flowers that can be used to make flower cakes. We purchase them all year round. We charge as much as we can get.

As soon as she hung it up, someone came to see her.

"Girl, these flowers are usually rotting in the ground and no one wants them. Do you really want to buy them?"

Shen Ruoxi nodded: "If you really want to buy it, if you have flowers, you can pick them and sell them to me, but I only want the flowers and not the others."

"There are a lot of wisteria flowers behind my house. I originally planned to shovel them, but I didn't expect to sell them for money. I will go back and pick them right away."

"I know where there are jasmine flowers, and I will pick them and sell them."

"Let's go home and pick flowers..."

The people watching dispersed in a hurry, and those who knew there were flowers went back to pick flowers and sell them.

Shen Ruoxi clapped her hands and turned back to the medical center.

…

Shenjia Village.

Matchmaker Zhang came to Shen Ruoxi's house and called Shen Da out: "Shen Da, the Zhong family asked me to propose marriage. Do you agree or not?"

Shen Da Dao: "Of course I agreed. Ruo Xi also told me that she promised to marry Zhong Zhouyi. You just ask him to prepare a betrothal gift to propose marriage."

Matchmaker Zhang smiled. She didn't expect that another village would actually make this matchmaker. "I will go and notify the Zhong family. When they prepare the betrothal gift, they will come to propose marriage immediately."

Shen Da nodded: "You tell the Zhong family that if Ruo Xi is innocent, you must not wrong her, otherwise I will not agree."

Matchmaker Zhang smiled from ear to ear: "I know, I know, Zhou Yi likes Ruoxi so much, he will definitely not wrong her, don't worry."

Shen Da Dao: "That's fine, you go ahead and tell me."

"I'm leaving." Matchmaker Zhang happily went to Zhong's house.

Zhong Zhouyi was dressed up and ready to prepare the betrothal gift in person. Even if Matchmaker Zhang didn't come to him, he would go to Matchmaker Zhang: "Auntie."

Matchmaker Zhang praised loudly: "Oh, you see, our Zhou Yi is a very talented person, and Ruoxi is a match made in heaven."

Mrs. Zhong heard Matchmaker Zhang's voice and walked out of the room: "Matchmaker Zhang is here, please take a seat."

Matchmaker Zhang waved a red handkerchief and entered the room happily: "I would like to congratulate you two first. Unexpectedly, this marriage has finally happened. You are destined people and you can cherish each other in the future."

Zhong Zhouyi said solemnly: "Auntie, I will cherish Ruoxi even if I don't tell you. I am about to go out to prepare the betrothal gift."

Matchmaker Zhang praised Zhong Zhouyi vigorously: "Scholars are different, they are thoughtful and can do things better than us country folk."
