The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 198 Exile 25

Chao Yao's attitude was very firm, and Chao Tian had no choice but to agree.

He was still a little worried. After all, with Lu Fufeng's conditions, what woman could he not marry?

Now he also wants to marry his daughter. If it were in the past, he might not be able to look down on such a merchant, but now, such a merchant is the best choice.

"Uncle, what did you say to Miss Chao?"

"She agreed, but she hopes to get married in a year. Look at this..."

"can."

Lu Fufeng agreed without thinking, "She must be worried that you guys are not living well in this place, right? It's rare to find a girl like her who is kind-hearted and caring about her family. I should respect her thoughts."

This surprised Chao Tiancai and Yang Tiaotiao. Of course they knew that their daughter was good, but they never thought that at this time, there would still be someone waiting for her.

"Uncle, let's make a deal. When the snow stops in a couple of days, I will ask the matchmaker to come over. Then the six ceremonies will be performed according to the normal process. It will take a year to complete the six ceremonies."

Yang Tiao Tiao was a little worried. She frowned and asked, "Does your family know about this?"

Lu Fufeng smiled and said, "I am all alone in this world, without a father or mother, without a brother or a sister. So I can make my own decisions and do not need the consent of others. From now on, I will be your other son. Would you like to be my parents?"

Hearing this, Yang Tiao Tiao smiled.

Orphans are good, but what’s the difference between an orphan and a son-in-law?

Of course they were happy to have a son for free.

"Okay, it's settled."

The three of them had a very pleasant conversation, and Lu Fufeng stayed here for a few more days until the snow stopped a little.

A few days later, the matchmaker came.

The matchmaker, wearing a flowery cotton jacket, was a little bit unbelieving when she arrived at the Chao family's yard, and she was amazed at the sight of the yard.

"How lucky are you to have picked up such a yard? I heard that the Lu family kid has already obtained the land and house deeds for you, so they are also yours. Sister Yang, you have a good son-in-law!"

The matchmaker kept saying nice things to others as if they were free. She had received a lot of money from Lu Fufeng, so naturally she would not do anything to offend others.

You have to have a good attitude, these are all wealthy families.

"No, he was good to begin with, and we just took advantage of it."

Yang Tiaotiao's mouth corners were almost unable to suppress. She said, "You don't know that it is Lu Fufeng's good fortune. Of course, her own family's luck may be better."

The matchmaker talked to them in detail about the marriage customs in the north, especially since although Lu Fufeng was an orphan, he was not a native of the country, so the customs were more complicated.

Lu Fufeng stood up at this time and expressed his position.

"All the books should be written in the same way as Yaoyao did in Shangjin City. Don't worry about what's going on here. The main purpose of holding these ceremonies is to make her happy. If the things we do are too unfamiliar, Yaoyao may not be able to adapt to it."

This sentence left the matchmaker speechless. How could the rules be changed like this?

"Nephew Lu, this... isn't good, right?"

"There's nothing good or bad about it. These things should be decided by the woman's side. This way, everyone will feel more comfortable."

Lu Fufeng insisted, and Yang Tiaotiao and Chao Tiancai were happy to see this happen.

So, the six rituals and all the preparations were in accordance with the customs of Shangjincheng.

Chao Tiancai and Yang Tiaotiao were indeed worried about another thing, which was how to prepare Chao Yao's dowry.

When their family arrived here, they had nothing. If they took out the things in the space, they were afraid that others would find out.

After much thought, Yang Tiaotiao decided to give Chaoyao all the dowry that he had prepared for her since she was a child, but he should not take it out for others to see and should put it all in the space.

Face is for others to see, they are pragmatic and just want to live a good life.

The dowry for a daughter from a wealthy family is prepared from the moment she is born. Although Chao Yao's family was not considered a wealthy family before they were exiled, they also started preparing a dowry for her from the moment she was born.

If it weren't for the exile, it would have been no problem to collect fifty or sixty loads of dowry.

Fortunately, there was still a year before Chaoyao was to get married, so Chaotian decided to get together again.

It was snowing heavily outside and there was nothing to do in the ice and snow, so Chao Tiancai stayed at home every day making furniture for Chao Yao.

He had never done these things before, and he needed to figure everything out bit by bit.

Starting from a small chair, and then slowly to beds, cabinets, and other large items, if they failed to be made, they would be used as firewood. If they were successful, they would be repaired and then stored there.

A month later, Yang Jun brought the remaining people to this place.

There are now thirty-eight people left, including fifteen officers and soldiers.

Looking at the vast expanse of white in front of them, some people fainted and died on the spot.

Yang Jun and his team quickly made the handover and had no intention of saying hello to Chao Yao's family.

He just wanted to see the family there, as for how they lived, it was none of his business.

After the handover was completed, Yang Jun took his men away.

The few people who had just fallen in the snow were quickly dragged away by their families and temporarily buried in the snow. They would wait until the spring thaws and then find a place to bury them.

Chao Yuebai looked at the group of people through the crack in the window, feeling a little worried.

"Sister, you said they would come to us and ask us to give them a place to live?"

He smiled at Yao and asked, "Do you want them to come in?"

"I don't know. We rarely interact with them."

"You can pay them, but if you don't, just let them stay outside."

"Sister, isn't this too cruel? This... this is also the life of a fellow tribesman!"

"Have you ever thought about letting a wolf into your house?"

This is a life-or-death moment, and any weakness could lead to the destruction of the entire family.

Chao Yuebai is a kind-hearted child. He is still young and does not understand how treacherous people can be. Chao Yao needs to remind him.

"Sister, what is inviting a wolf into the house?"

Chao Yuebai looked confused and continued to ask: "They are human beings, not wolves."

"But brother, sometimes people are scarier than animals. If you don't believe me, you can wait."

As soon as the brother and sister finished speaking, someone knocked on the gate of the yard.

"Open the door, open the door!"

The voice outside the door was that of a middle-aged woman. Chao Yao took a look at the other person through his spiritual sense. It was an aunt from the same clan who had very few interactions with them. She used to be a very quiet person and was plump before being exiled, but now she was thin and might have survived because of her flesh.
