How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 140 Double Happiness
Granny Tian glared at Qian Laifu, who was still happy. "Well? Gou Sheng is still young and doesn't know any better. Don't take it to heart. I'll talk to her properly later."

"No," Third Master Jiang laughed, "I'm telling you this just to put your minds at ease. I don't mean for you to punish Gousheng. My eldest brother really likes Gousheng."

“Yes,” Madam Jiang added, “When we set off, my eldest brother repeatedly told me to take good care of Gousheng. He even specially arranged a carriage for Gousheng.”

Third Master Jiang: "Let's continue discussing the matter of Nineteen's mother and my eldest nephew."

Once the dowry issue is clarified, everything else is no longer a problem.

After the ages of nineteen and twenty, everyone will be living in the capital. Little Dog Sheng asked Master Yi, "Can I go to the capital at eighteen? Will I be recognized like I was at twenty?"

Granny Tian suddenly walked over.

Just as Xiao Gou Sheng was about to ask what they had discussed, Granny Tian slapped him.

The little dog was stunned. "Grandma, you hit me?"

"Yes. Do you still want to get married in the future?"

"Yes, I do." If she said she didn't, her grandma wouldn't have slapped her.

"Then why did you hit Grandpa Nineteen and Grandpa Twentieth?"

So that's why?

The little dog shrank its neck. "It was Grandpa Twenty who tried to hit me first."

"Then why don't you run away? You're a girl, if other people knew you were so fierce, who would dare to marry you?"

"I was wrong." To avoid getting beaten up less, you have to admit your mistakes more often.

Seeing how quickly she admitted her mistake, Granny Tian left with the words, "If you hit someone again, Grandma won't let you leave the house," and went off to attend to other matters.

As soon as she left, Qian Laifu appeared. "Don't listen to your grandma. You still have to beat her, just don't let your grandma know."

The little dog, Sheng, thought the same thing. "Grandpa, you knew my grandma was coming to beat me, but you didn't warn me."

"...Um? Your grandma loves you so much, she won't really hit you."

"Hmph! You've already gotten a wife, so you're neglecting your granddaughter."

"What? Um? What were you two talking about just now?"

"Can you go to the capital if you say you're eighteen?" Master Daoyi looked at Xiaogousheng and laughed, "Sure, he even dared to fight the Duke."

"Aren't their grandsons all at my house? Can Shiba go to the capital?"

"can."

The puppy was relieved. "That's good. Otherwise, he would have cried if I left him here alone."

"Are you planning to take him to the capital?"

"Yes. The three of them grew up together."

"Aren't you afraid he'll envy Nineteen and Twenty for having a grandfather who is a Duke?"

"He wouldn't, he'd only sympathize with nineteen and twenty."

Master Daoyi laughed upon hearing this. "Hahahaha... You seem to know a lot about Eighteen."

How could I not know?
The little dog glanced at Master Daoyi with a sullen expression.

Master Daoyi laughed even more heartily.

Meanwhile, Master Jiang and his wife guessed that after Consort Tao and her daughter finished their private conversation, they went to find Consort Tao. Their trip couldn't just be about paying their respects to Consort Tao.

When Consort Tao heard that they had arrived, she let them in. "How is your mother's health?"

"My mother is injured."

Consort Tao was surprised to hear this. "What happened?"

Third Master Jiang recounted the whole story. Consort Tao: "..." This is too unlucky! "So that's how it is? I was wondering why your sister-in-law didn't come? Have you finished discussing things with the Qian family?"

"We've finished discussing it. The Qian family offered to put all of our betrothal gifts into Miss Qian's dowry. I advised Old Master Qian to keep some, but he said he has four sons and six grandsons, so there's no need to deduct from his granddaughter's dowry. Old Madam Qian and Uncle Qian, and Aunt Qian also think so."

Princess Qinghe and Kang Junwen were both surprised to hear this.

Kang Junwen: "Did the Qian family propose it on their own initiative?"

Princess Qinghe: "Should we add it all to Qian Chunhua's dowry?"

"Yes. I didn't expect the Qian family to do this either. Although the Qian family are farmers, their character is by no means bad. Heng'er is lucky to have such a family as his wife."

Consort Tao nodded. "Old Master Qian and Old Madam Qian have always been very good to their granddaughter and daughter-in-law. Gousheng wrote back saying that everyone in the capital is waiting to see how much dowry their family will give to Miss Qian."

"Gou Sheng said that this marriage was arranged by the Duke of Jin through his request to the Emperor. They cannot bring shame to the Duke of Jin, nor can they bring shame to the Emperor."

Madam Jiang: "The people in the capital are indeed waiting to see."

Jiang Sanye thought to himself, "No wonder Qian Gousheng beat his older brother up so badly and his brother wasn't angry." "Old Master Qian is very good to his granddaughter and daughter-in-law. Old Master Qian went to the capital twice, once for his granddaughter and once for his daughter-in-law."

"Hmm. How many days do you plan to stay here?"

“We want to stay a few more days. We want to explore the area. We’ve never been here before.”

"Then you should go back with Qinghe and Junwen."

Third Master Jiang stayed behind to wait for them. "That's wonderful."

The couple chatted with Consort Tao for a while before leaving.

As soon as they left, Princess Qinghe looked at Consort Tao and said, "Mother, you said that on purpose for me to hear, didn't you?"

Consort Tao smiled. "Yes. Mother has stayed at the Qian family's residence for so long, and the Qian family is truly very kind."

Princess Qinghe pursed her lips. "No matter how good they are, they're still farmers."

Consort Tao looked at Kang Junwen.

Kang Junwen considered his daughter's situation. "Alright, we'll do as you say. Mother, which young man from the Qian family have you taken a fancy to?"

“Qian Daniu. That kid may not be very good at studying, but he has a sense of responsibility.”

They can't read yet!
Princess Qinghe could hardly believe her ears. "Mother, is Yueyue really your granddaughter?"

Consort Tao glanced at Princess Qinghe. "If Yueyue weren't my own granddaughter, I wouldn't bother with this."

Kang Junwen: "I believe in my mother."

"You! You're not his biological father either!"

Seeing her daughter's attitude, Consort Tao simply ignored her. "Since Madam Jiang is here, let Madam Jiang act as matchmaker."

Kang Junwen: "Okay."

Princess Qinghe: "I disagree."

"Shut up." Consort Tao glared at her daughter. If she let her daughter have her way, her granddaughter would have to stay indoors every day like she did in the capital. "It's settled then."

Consort Tao instructed Granny Du to invite Madam Jiang over.

After Madam Jiang told Granny Tian what Consort Tao meant, Granny Tian asked her several times.

After confirming that Consort Tao was indeed going to marry her granddaughter to her eldest grandson, Granny Tian came to find Little Dog Sheng.

The little dog, Sheng, was arguing with Master Daoyi when he suddenly saw his grandmother walking over with a worried look on her face. "Grandma, what's wrong?"

When Granny Tian told them that Consort Tao wanted to marry Kang Yueyue to Qian Daniu, Qian Laifu and Xiaogousheng were both stunned!
Qian Laifu: "..." His eldest grandson has such good fortune?!
Little Dog Sheng: "..." Her older cousin has such good fortune with women?!
Granny Tian was nearly driven mad with worry. "What should we do? If we refuse, it will be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager. If we accept, we can't afford the betrothal gifts."

Now, Qian Laifu and Xiao Gousheng also started to worry.

*blushing* Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, sweetheart! You worked so hard! Sending you love! (*з)(ε｀*) *kiss*
