PNB Chapter 235 Unique Gift
Chapter 235 Unique Gift
"We all have gifts for marriage here, so how could I not prepare anything?
But given my family's financial situation, anyone can see that I definitely can't get the kind of money that's popular in big houses now."
Lu Yao did not deny that she had no money now. She smiled and looked at the second aunt: "So~~"
"So how much are you going to take?" The second aunt listened attentively.
Lu Yao: "So I seriously considered the significance of the gift."
!!!
Several old ladies were choked up in their hearts: Your [so] is quite a roundabout way!
Lu Yao smiled and said seriously:
"From a man's perspective, the bride price is a sense of security. But Mr. Song's sense of security obviously does not require a bride price.
From a woman's perspective, the meaning of the bride price lies in commitment and respect for her husband.
I respect Mr. Song and am willing to give him a sincere promise.
I think that since the bride price means commitment and respect, it should not be expressed simply in silver.
I want to express it in my own unique way.”
Her own unique way???
Several old aunts couldn't help laughing.
In the Feng Dynasty, it was popular for wealthy people to watch and listen to operas. Many operas would incorporate stories from the folks to achieve certain propaganda and educational purposes.
For example, the most famous "Regret" tells the story of a nobleman who disobeyed his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words and secretly got married to a poor girl. He married her even though the girl had nothing and gave him nothing.
As a result, after working like a slave for several years, they are abandoned when they are old and ugly.
The most classic part of the film is when the nobleman's parents questioned the poor girl about what she was going to do to ensure her son's future life. The girl sang, "Although I have nothing yellow or white, I have something unique!"
Then she took out a smooth stone and offered it as a betrothal gift, saying that it was her unique way of expressing her feelings.
Because there is nothing harder than stone in the world, it represents her strongest feelings.
The young man was moved by the stone and insisted on marrying her, but eventually regretted his decision.
The purpose of teaching that kind of music is self-evident. The key is the most famous part of it, "the unique way of expressing emotions", which is exactly what Lu Yao is saying now.
Lu Yao was an outsider, so she had no idea about the plays that the people here watched, let alone this story or this plot.
It just happens to be the sentence "Any similarity is purely coincidental."
But some of the old aunts couldn't stop laughing.
Even many members of the Song family present had seen the play.
Everyone knew what "unique way" meant, and they wondered anxiously, would Miss Lu also take out a stone?
There are many such songs. In them, the bad heroines, besides using stones, have also used straw rings, necklaces made of apricot kernels, hairpins carved from chopsticks and other strange and worthless things to deceive the innocent young men.
Song Yanyi's handsome face turned red and white.
He has also listened to quite a few operas and knows all kinds of "unique ways".
"Lu Yao, Lu Yao, if you dare to take out a stone, or a grass ring or something, I will break your dog legs and support you for the rest of your life!"
Song Yanyi couldn't help but clench his fists again.
'Just shut up and don't say anything. When we get back, I'll give you 20,000 taels of silver, and you can use it as a betrothal gift and give it back to me!
It can not only shut them up, but also save your face. Kill two birds with one stone, and everyone is happy.
But you! You fool!' Song Yanyi silently "scolded" Lu Yao.
Lu Yao had no idea what Song Yanyi was thinking. She cleared her throat and announced seriously:
“Although I don’t have anything yellow or white…”
In an instant, almost all the members of the Song family present held their foreheads and lowered their eyes.
Isn’t this the line from the opera?
Miss Lu, do you really want to imitate that play, or what?
Several old ladies laughed so hard that tears came down their eyes, and they were just waiting to see the stones next!
Lu Yao said loudly——
“Although I don’t have anything rich, I have business and creativity.
I will give Mr. Song the operating rights of ten Kende Chicken chain stores as a betrothal gift.
Allow and support Mr. Song to take full charge of the ten chain stores as an individual, be responsible for his own profits and losses, and all income will belong to him personally."
The Xirong Hall suddenly became quiet.
You can hear a pinhole, it's so quiet!
what!
It turns out that Miss Lu’s unique way was to give the operating rights of the Kende Chicken branch to Song Yanyi as a betrothal gift!
That is a very popular store nowadays, making a lot of money every day.
Everyone present was a business person, and they knew that as long as they found a good business, they could make a lot of money even if it was a branch.
And Lu Yao gave away ten such branch management rights!
This is simply ten mountains of gold!
Everyone was really shocked.
However, this wave of shock did not end, because Lu Yao continued:
“I do quite a lot of business, not only the Kenji restaurant, but I also recently started a new business called playing cards.
I will give the operating rights of this playing card business to Mr. Song as a betrothal gift, and make him the exclusive distributor of playing cards."
Everyone was so surprised that their mouths opened wide.
Poker?
Although many people still don’t know what this thing is, when Miss Lu said this, it sounded very powerful.
It should be very profitable.
Business people know that new things often make a lot of money.
So, the betrothal gift to Song Yanyi, in addition to ten Ken's Chicken chain stores, also includes the exclusive operating rights of playing cards? ? ? ! ! !
"I have another gift, which is a recipe for some dim sum. There are about fifty kinds of them, which are just right for Mr. Song's Jixiangzhai."
Lu Yao smiled slightly and set off another bomb.
What! There's more!
Everyone in Xirong Hall, young and old, was already numb from the shock.
I thought Miss Lu was going to dig out stones, but I didn't expect she was digging for mountains of gold and silver.
Whether it’s chain stores, management rights, or recipes, everything can make money.
When others give a bride price, they give a basket of eggs.
Miss Lu gave three laying hens as a betrothal gift.
It is clear at a glance which is higher and which is lower, which is more important and which is less important!
Song Yanyi clenched his hands even tighter, but that was not out of anger, it was out of excitement.
If this place wasn't full of elders and relatives, he really wanted to rush over, hug Lu Yao tightly, and then punch her chest hard twice!
"This idiot, he gave me everything!" Song Yanyi's eyes were moist.
The two elders of the Song family could hardly sit still any longer.
Especially Mrs. Song, the head of a business family, of course she understands the value and weight of Lu Yao's waves of gold content.
"This child has given too much, too much!" Mrs. Song murmured to herself, but she was happy and proud in her heart.
"This is all for our Yan Yi. It shows Miss Lu's sincerity." Mr. Song wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
Since the betrothal gift represents commitment and respect, let's ask whether Lu Yao's commitment and respect are important!
"Miss Lu is both ambitious and capable!" Mrs. Song praised!
What's there to worry about after my son marries a girl like this?
Seeing that Song Yanyi's parents were very satisfied, Lu Yao said happily: "Aunt and Uncle, I still have..."
