Chapter 334 Lantern Riddle Conference (4)
What he hoped in his heart was that Caiwei would ask him for a wedding, because the wedding he had prepared for her was almost ready, and he only had to wait for her to go there before the final decision could be made.
It's a pity that Caiwei didn't speak as he hoped. Her space returned to its original state. The crops planted in the soil had all disappeared, and there was not even a single ginseng beard left. What else could she use to open a ginseng row? She had already given up the idea of starting a journey!
After getting Huo Yuan's promise, Caiwei rolled her big eyes a few times and said with a smile: "In that case, the prize I want is to ask Brother Huo to allow me to buy back the five hundred kilograms of cumin at the original price!"
Buy it again? This request surprised him a little, but he didn't say much and just agreed readily: "Okay!"
When Caiwei heard this, she smiled with crooked eyebrows. If she didn't have these cumins, what would she do to open a barbecue restaurant in Kyoto?
She kept saying thanks: "Thank you, Brother Huo, for making it possible..."
Huo Yuan looked at her crescent-shaped smile and said warmly: "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter. Besides, this is what Wei'er deserves for guessing the lantern riddle!"
Caiwei smiled and said, "Anyway, thank you, Brother Huo!"
Cao Jin saw that Huo Yuan was looking at Caiwei a little awkwardly. He was afraid that Mu Zhongqing and his wife would find out, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "We are not outsiders, so don't thank us anymore. Why don't we all go together?" After guessing the lantern riddles, go to my restaurant to have a few drinks and have a nice gathering!"
Huo Yuan said: "This is very good. I just wonder if Uncle Mu and Aunt Mo are willing to honor it?"
When Cao Jin heard that Huo Yuan had called his uncle and aunt, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, thinking that Ziyou would have fought hard for the little girl of the Mu family.
Mu Zhongqing always liked young people who were gentle and courteous, and after seeing the lantern riddle Huo Yuan presented, he admired him even more, so he readily agreed.
Since Du had a business cooperation agreement with Cao Jin, she just wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him about the specific matters of cooperation, so she was happy to go along. Mrs. Du always puts her husband first, so Mu Zhongqing agreed, and she would naturally not object. Therefore, the matter was settled. After they finished guessing the lantern riddles, they would go to Cao Jin's restaurant in Lin'an for dinner together!
After the calculation was settled, Caiwei and Mu Zhongqing began to guess lantern riddles.
Both father and daughter were very good at guessing a lot. In the end, the whole family couldn't hold any more lanterns in their hands. Even Huo Yuan and Cao Jin's hands were full of all kinds of lanterns.
Not surprisingly, Mu Zhongqing became the final winner in this lantern riddle competition. The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture rejoiced with the people and personally handed the prize set by the competition, fifty taels of silver, into the hands of Mu Zhongqing. He also encouraged him with a few words of sincere words, to the effect that he should study hard and strive for success. Win fame as soon as possible and honor your ancestors!
After Mu Zhongqing respectfully listened to the prefect's teachings, he came back with fifty taels of silver. As soon as he saw his wife, he thrust the bare fifty taels of silver ingots into his wife's hands and said confidently: " Take it and keep it for future home use!"
This is the most money he has ever earned in his life. Although the family is not short of money now, he is still very happy that he can fulfill the responsibilities of the head of the family for this family.
But Mrs. Du pushed the money back and said, "You are a man and you have to socialize outside. You gave me all the money, what can you use for socializing? You should keep it for yourself. I still have some money here. If you don't have it, I'll ask you for it again later."
Mu Zhongqing refused, and insisted on putting the ingot of silver back into his wife's hands: "My husband will make money in the future. Don't worry about it, a good wife. You should keep this money for your family!"
Du Shi couldn't resist him, so she had to put away the money. Her face was full of happiness, but her mouth was full of anger.
"I asked you to keep some money with you, but you refused. If you get slapped in the face outside one day, you will regret it!"
Mu Zhongqing was not angry when his wife scolded him, he just looked at his wife's beautiful face that seemed happy and angry at the same time, and felt warm in his heart.
Caiwei looked at the loving look of her parents on the side and couldn't help but yearn for it. If one day she gets married, her husband can be like her father, devoting himself to their family and spending every penny he earns. She took them all home and kept them for daily use, and she was satisfied!
