After dinner, Madam Chu took Chu Ping and Qingmei for a stroll in the garden.
"Miss Qingmei, don't take it the wrong way. It's not that I mind you don't have parents, but if your family has no parents to oversee the marriage, do you have any plans?"
Madam Chu asked warmly, "Don't worry, whatever you want, you can tell us."
"We only have Ping'er as our child, so naturally, everything in the future will be for you two."
"Ping'er likes you, and the more we see you, the more we like you too. Just say what you want, and his father and I will definitely comply."
Qingmei knew they were discussing the engagement betrothal gifts.
She quickly said, "Madam, you are kind; I don't need anything."
"As for betrothal gifts, let's just follow the usual custom: a pair of geese, six pieces of fabric, and two sets of new bedding and pillows."
That's what ordinary families need for marriage.
But it's different for noble families.
Hearing Qingmei's words, Madam Chu laughed.
