The marriage talk this time was different from the previous time when the Liao family tried to marry Dong Nuan.
At that time, it was the Dong family that held the initiative. Even if they made some demands, as long as they were not too excessive, the Liao family would agree.
But this time, it is the Liao family who holds the initiative. If the Dong family wants to make a request again, the Liao family can directly refuse.
Anyway, it's not the Liao family that got a bad reputation in the end.
When she thought of this, Mrs. Dong felt panicked.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you are really lucky." Mrs. Liu came in and praised her again, and then she praised Ernie and Dongxing.
I have to say that the matchmaker’s mouth is a liar.
When Dong Nuan listened to this rainbow output, even Ernie, who had been making a long face every day in the past two days, started laughing out loud.
It can be seen that being praised by others is a very comfortable thing.
Dong Nuan squinted his eyes due to the glare of the sun, and changed his position again, so that the cat was under the tree as much as possible.
After Mrs. Liu finished her praise, she slowly got to the point.
The two families had already made initial intentions to get married, so they invited Mrs. Liu over just to go through the normal process.
Mrs. Liu did not get straight to the point, but slowly brought it up.
Compared with Mother Liao's slightly arrogant attitude that day, some words came out of Mother Liu's mouth, which sounded much better.
"Young Master Liao's future is limitless. We have to broaden our horizons, right? When the Liao family came to our door, they took the initiative to say that because they were worried about Young Master Liao, their attitude may not have been good, and there was no gift for them.
How can I let go? Now I went back to collect some money and found that I can still give some betrothal gifts. Most families in our village only give two taels of bride price. You also know the situation of the Liao family. Even so, the Liao family is also willing to pay five taels of bride price.
, I’m afraid that I will wrong Xingya.” When Mrs. Liu spoke, she looked at Dongxing with a bit of ridicule.
Dong Xing was originally coaxed into confusion by Liao Mingkun and couldn't find the answer.
When I heard this, my cheeks turned red instantly, and I didn't know how to position my hands and feet.
Seeing her like this, what else does Mrs. Liu, who has come here, not know?
Although this marriage seems very stable at first glance, if both parties are willing, then she will receive more matchmaking gifts in the middle.
Originally I was afraid that the Dong family would not be willing, but now I see that regardless of what the adults think, their children are willing.
The Liao family was willing to give more gifts, but Mrs. Dong was relieved, as long as she didn't marry too ugly.
The second aunt was also surprised. She was smiling at first, but now her smile became much more sincere.
Five taels of silver is enough to find a wife for his two and a half sons.
The eldest son of the second wife, Dong Jing, was already fifteen, and it was time for her to get married. Now that the money was just right, she went back to look for a suitable girl.
The two parties talked politely for a long time, and at the end, Mrs. Liu said slightly hesitantly: "One more thing, as you all know, the Liao family is not in good health, and she is also afraid that something might happen.
Yes, so I thought it would be best to get married before the year before, preferably after the autumn harvest is over, so that if she really doesn't get well, she can rest assured and close her eyes."
At this point, Mrs. Liu adjusted her breathing and immediately explained: "I also know that this matter may have been decided in a hurry, but since the two families are interested, they actually don't care about one more day and one day later, and Mr. Liao has promised
, he will definitely behave like a gentleman and will never offend our girl."
This is a hint that even if they get married now, they will not consummate the marriage immediately. They will take care of Dongxing's age, so that the Dong family can rest assured.
As soon as the second uncle heard that she was planning to get married by the end of the year, she felt sour and bitter.
She didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only look at Mrs. Dong for help.
Mrs. Dong is obviously thinking about it, but Mrs. Liu is not in a hurry. Even if the Dong family disagrees, she still has a plan to take a step back.
Dong Nuan, who was sitting outside the courtyard, couldn't help but curl her lips and smile after hearing Mrs. Liu's words.
What the Liao family said sounds nice, but others are not fools. It’s not like Mrs. Dong and the others can’t see it, but can they refuse now?
cannot.
Putting aside the issue of Dongxing's reputation, they couldn't give up easily on Liao Mingkun.
After all, a very promising scholar might become a very popular minister in the future. How could they give up so easily?
It’s just that it’s a little harder to invest a little now.
Dong Nuan bets that they will agree in the end and won't bargain.
that's the truth.
After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Dong sighed heavily and said, "Sister Liu family, this means that if you come to your door, I wouldn't be able to agree to anyone else. How old is our Xingya?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I know that my sister-in-law is giving me face." Hearing what Mrs. Dong said, Mrs. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two parties discussed it for a long time, and finally the marriage was agreed upon.
Although the engagement gift sent by the Liao family is simple, no one in the Dong family would dislike it.
Because it is a pile of books, not to mention how expensive books are these days, just the fact that this is Liao Mingkun's learning experience is enough to make Dong's family happy.
Mrs. Dong did not dare to touch the book, fearing that her rough hands would damage it again.
The second aunt was so excited that her hands shook. She stretched and retracted her hands. After repeating it several times, she didn't dare to really stretch it out.
Naturally, she was thinking about her son. As for Mrs. Dong?
Then she must be thinking of her most promising eldest grandson, Dongxu.
It's just that this is Dongxing's engagement gift, so it's hard to force it, but it's okay to copy it, right?
The Liao family showed their sincerity, and it was impossible for the Dong family not to express their sincerity.
Mrs. Dong held a bowl of water very evenly. She also found her treasured fabric and cut out a hairband early. Although it was just ordinary cotton, it looked good because it was new fabric.
In addition to the engagement gift, the Liao family also gave a piece of meat, a pack of sugar candies and ten eggs.
Mrs. Dong naturally smiled with satisfaction.
Although the other members of the Dong family were not in the room listening, they were scattered in various places.
After seeing Mrs. Liu off, the aunt came over and asked.
She is the sister-in-law, so it is normal to ask.
When she heard that the engagement gift from the Liao family was a book, the aunt's eyebrows twinkled. She didn't shamelessly ask for it directly, but she must have had something in mind.
Dong Nuan had already stood up and was leaning on the fence. Looking at the deep look on the aunt's eyebrows, she knew that she definitely didn't have any good ideas.
Mrs. Dong Wu didn't get close to her. She and the second roommate never got along. What was there to do in the past at this time?
Furthermore, Dongnuan's endorsement was very good and she can now be a primary school teacher. Dongyao's reading was also good. Dongwu felt that life was not bad, so she didn't bother to see how the second room was going.
