The next day, Manager Qiu called Wang Wenwu to his office.

"You are getting married!"

"Look at Liuquanju, are you satisfied?"

"Yesterday, the roast duck my son brought back was quite delicious,"

"I'll book a table at Liuquanju. Our two families will be very close and close. When we leave, we will have a roast duck each."

"How can we eat all this much? Why don't we waste our food if we can't finish it all?"

"I'll pay for the Quanjude duck first. If you want to eat it, you can go and get it."

"Civil and military, you are still thoughtful,"

"How is my marriage going?"

"We have negotiated and asked someone to read the almanac. The engagement will take place on the 10th day of June and the marriage will take place on the 13th day of July. Her family has been looking forward to her marriage for a long time and the bride price has been agreed to be four hundred silver dollars."

"Okay, okay, okay, it's only a few days since we got engaged on the tenth day of June. Please help me keep an eye on it. I'm going to get a pair of gold bracelets weighing eight coins. In addition, what else do I need to prepare?"

"You don't know anything. Go ahead, go ahead and get your gold bracelet. I'll make a list, and then you just follow this."

"Thank you."

"go Go!"

I found a few shops on the street that all had good reputations.

"Brother, come on, come on, come on," "You guys can buy a pair of gold bracelets weighing eight cents. What's the price and how long will it take to make them?"

"Now eight gold coins cost fifty-eight silver dollars. The wages depend on what you want."

"Show me what kind of thing there is,"

"You see, we can make three types of this. It depends on whether you want matte, glossy, or embroidered."

"I think this glossy one is pretty good, but this one is heavy."

"This is not worth eight cents. You are here as a bride price, right? There are not many people who give you big gifts."

"Well, when did I get it?"

"You, the smooth one, want half a month. Please give me a deposit of ten oceans first."

"Hey, I can't wait for half a month. I'm getting engaged on the tenth day of June. Do you think I can wait?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll ask the shopkeeper first."

"Go quickly, don't affect me from finding another family,"

"Okay, I won't delay you."

Wang Wenwu waved his hand and told the clerk to go quickly. The clerk stepped back and turned to leave. Wang Wenwu walked around the store and saw a beautiful hollow bracelet, so he called the clerk.

"Wrap these two for me and pay later."

"Okay, Master!"

The guy who left earlier came running.

"Master, the bracelet you want will be available tomorrow."

"Okay, I also looked at the two bracelets, how much do they cost together?"

"Okay, these two bracelets are one tael and two hundred and twenty-seven silver dollars. I will charge you one ocean as wages. For the other eight-dollar bracelet, you will first give a deposit of ten oceans. Today, you have to pay two hundred

Thirty-seven silver dollars."

He took out the banknotes from the North Korean Bank in the space from his money bag, gave him two hundred and forty yuan, waited for the clerk to pack the change, and went home directly.

"Aegean, Aegean,"

"What's wrong?"

"Look what I bought you!"

Wang Wenwu took out the six-dollar gold bracelet and gave it to her like a treasure.

"Oh, this bracelet is so beautiful. Is it for me?"

"Yes, it must be for you, Master, to reward you." "Come, Master, I will help you take care of it."

Xiao Nizi was very happy. She said that she was really good and went to show off to the Zhao Sun family. Although she was not happy when she heard that Wang Wenwu was getting married a while ago, women in the Republic of China in this era did not accept men marrying more.

The level was quite high. I smiled and said something to Aiqin, then went back to the warehouse.

"Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, are you there?"

"Here, here, what's your name?"

As he was talking, he opened the door and walked in. Manager Qiu was writing and drawing on paper.

"You don't even knock on the door now!"

"Isn't this my dear Brother Qiu? Why is he so out of touch?"

"You learned this and that, and you're still dear, just disgust me!"

"How come? How is your writing? Is it done?"

"You have prepared the betrothal gifts and bracelets yourself. What is more important is to send some pastries such as "big eight pieces and small eight pieces". They usually have to be packed in snack boxes. Remember, don't use cattail bags like those used during the New Year.

Because the cattail bag means "two or five eyes", which is taboo in marriage and not serious. Do you understand!"

"knew."

"The old man of the Shu family is gone, and her brother wants to kick her away now. Don't count on Miss Shu's dowry. She comes here alone, and you can't look down on her. Do you understand?"

Wang Wenwu looked seriously and replied: "Wang Wenwu knows. If her family hadn't had a big accident, I, Wang Wenwu, might not have been able to marry such a good girl."

"It's good that you know! I hope you can do what you say."

"Thank you, Brother Qiu."

The days are passing by, please go to Brother Qiu and the matchmaker, bring the newly made bracelets, eight big pieces, and eight small pieces of pastries. The big eight pieces are: one, fur cake, two, large roll cake, three, large oil cake,

Four, butterfly rolls, five, pancakes, six, chicken fat cakes, seven, Zhuangyuan cakes, eight, seven-star dumplings. The small eight pieces are one size smaller than the big eight pieces: one, flan, two, small rolls, three

, small peach cakes, four, small chicken pancakes, five, small screw cakes, six, salted dumplings, seven, jujube flowers, eight, cheating face. The last four are the most popular among children. Especially jujube flowers, which are twisted into petals with jujube paste.

, very beautiful, so I bought more of the last four.

After entering the house, Brother Qiu and the matchmaker negotiated with the eldest son of the Shu family throughout the whole process. The second and third brothers interrupted from time to time. Fortunately, their brother and the third brother had reached an agreement today without causing any trouble. They also knew that the house was sold last time.

When I made a fuss, my face was not even bright.

The second and third sons of the Shu family were not very satisfied with the betrothal gift. They openly asked for the price of Miss Shu like a commodity, and the two parties bargained. This behavior was quite chilling. In the end, Wang Wenwu agreed and added fifty silver dollars, but when it came to the dowry,

Just some clothes and a small amount of jewelry.

This was to sell Miss Shu, but Wang Wenwu felt that it was not long after the old man died, and it was not unusual for the brothers to cause such a scene and sell Miss Shu. Maybe they were afraid of being stabbed in the spine, so they sold the house and sister just after the old man died.

, it is still possible to return the gift that day, but it will have to be returned later.

Although the "request date" has already been agreed upon, this process still needs to be carried out. You must be extremely cautious about this date. Not only must you choose an auspicious day, but you must also avoid the woman's menstrual period to prevent "going to bed on a red horse and ruining the family"

.This is what I heard from the matchmaker.

After the Shu family received Wang Wenwu's betrothal gift, they had to divide the tea, snacks, dragon and phoenix wedding cakes into several portions, put them into food boxes, and distribute them to the seven aunts, eight aunts and other relatives and friends around them, and inform them of the date of sending the dowry.

Now it's time to get married.

"You plan to invite those people!"

"Brother Qiu, I'll ask my boss if he's here, someone from the warehouse, someone familiar with the shop, someone in charge,"

"In addition to the Shu family's relatives and friends, you can't fit in the house rented by Mr. Zhao."

"Let's place it at Liuquanju. It's not far away and is convenient for everyone."

"Okay, otherwise the Shu family said there are more than sixty tables, and you have about ten tables here, and setting up a wine tent will be a headache."

"I'll go to Liuquan Residence to set the table first and ask them to prepare it." "There are still some gaps, so I'd like to ask Brother Qiu to take care of them."

"I know, you go first."
