Man Bao and Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother stood together, looking at Brother Zhou who wanted to hug Old Man Qiu, and thought to himself: Is this an engagement for the Sixth Brother or the Fourth Brother?
Obviously when the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law got engaged, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word for a long time. What has her fourth brother experienced in these years?
Mother Qiu also took Madam Fang's hand and invited her to sit down warmly. Madam Fang naturally declined and just sat at the head next to Madam Qiu.
Liu Lang stood aside with a gift in both hands, his face slightly red.
Qiu Pei was even more like this. He stood aside and blushed like something.
After a warm exchange of offers, everyone took their seats. Man Bao noticed that the relatives and friends invited by the Qiu family opposite had very pale faces.
When both parties sat down, Zhou Lang was pushed forward by Wu Lang and put down the gift he was carrying. Only then did the invited matchmaker come into use. While lighting the gifts brought by Zhou Lang, he praised Zuo Lang
His character and appearance and the sincerity of the old Zhou family.
Zhou Lang was very satisfied. He was indeed the matchmaker he personally selected. His eloquence was really good.
Of course, after praising the man, the matchmaker also praised the woman in a timely manner, saying that they were truly a match made in heaven.
Even Man Bao thinks so, let alone others.
But the expressions of relatives and friends on the Qiu family's side became even darker. After the matchmaker finished speaking, Qiu Pei's aunt couldn't help but said suspiciously: "I listen to my aunt's wishes. After you two get married, you will provide for them until the end of their lives?"
"
Liu Zhoulang glanced at Qiu Pei and nodded with a blush, "Yes, Uncle Qiu only has one daughter, the eldest lady. Of course we have to provide for Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu to take care of them until they die."
"But you are not a heretic son-in-law after all. If you provide for your retirement here, what will your parents do?"
Zhou Lang, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said: "Don't worry, Aunt Jia, my sixth brother doesn't have to worry about this. I have many brothers in my family, and he is the youngest among them. My parents have loved him since he was a child, and we brothers also
Dote on him. From now on, we and the five brothers will have to take care of the old age. If he feels bad about it, he can just pay more tribute to his parents with money and gifts."
On Saturday, I talked silently on the side: It was strange that he was released by him. Has his parents hurt him, but he hadn't impressed him, but a few brothers often beat him, especially the fourth brother and the fifth brother.
All misfortunes like to be blamed on him.
However, no matter how cheerful the slander was, Zhou Lang was still very happy with what his fourth brother said.
Aunt Jia pulled back the smile on her face and said, "So this means that when they have children in the future, one of them will have the surname Qiu?"
Zhou Lang responded "Yes" with an unchanging smile.
Aunt Jia curled her lips and said, "Then why go to all the trouble? Just be your son-in-law. Anyway, you have many sons, so there is no shortage of this one."
"What Aunt Jia said is wrong," Zhou Lang said with a smile: "Even if I have many sons, my sixth brother was raised by his parents in the palm of their hands. They are all the flesh that their parents shed. I must feel sorry for him."
He glanced at Old Man Qiu and then smiled and said: "It is precisely because of the kindness of my parents that they thought that Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu would not let go of the eldest lady, so they asked my sixth brother to agree to the Qiu family's conditions, otherwise my sixth brother would
What wife can’t say anything about my brother’s conditions?”
Regardless of whether you can say it or not, let’s blow the cowhide out first.
But Old Man Qiu felt that he was telling the truth. After all, he had just visited their family's big house in Chongyuanfang not long ago.
And his sister also became a high official.
Although she is a younger sister, not a younger brother, but she is not married yet, so she is a family, right?
So Old Man Qiu quickly stopped Aunt Jia and nodded repeatedly, fearing that she would mess up the marriage that was finally negotiated.
Zhou Lang, who was still about to speak, saw Old Man Qiu's attitude, and his expression softened a little. Then he left Aunt Jia and started the main purpose of their visit today.
The matchmaker immediately took the opportunity to smooth things over, and heated up the atmosphere again. After the two families exchanged the wedding ceremony and marriage certificate, and signed the marriage certificate, the marriage was considered to be more than half completed, and all the steps were completed when the marriage was auspicious.
Of course, the requirements of both families are also written in the marriage contract.
Old man Qiu took Zuoru Lang's Geng Tie, and Fang took Qiu Pei's Geng Tie. Everyone looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Lang said with a smile: "Getting engaged is also a great event, so our family specially set aside some gifts on the second floor of our restaurant.
Table, can we all come over and have a drink together?”
Old Man Qiu immediately said: "This engagement gift should be eaten at my house. How can I let you spend money?"
Zhou Lang then laughed and said, "How can you and I divide this now? We have a large family, and Li Zhong and the others have already prepared it over there, so go over to my house to eat."
Old Man Qiu was still a little reluctant, but he was pulled over by Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang then introduced to relatives and friends of the Qiu and Jia families: "This is my eldest nephew Li Zhong, and this is my second nephew Li Wei. They are both doing business with our brothers now, and this is my second niece Li Wei."
Jun, Uncle Qiu knows that she is collecting accounts in the shop, and she is now in charge of our family's accounts. This is my third niece Liru, who is now studying medicine with my younger sister."
Zhou Lang smiled and said: "By the way, you don't know about my younger sister, right? This is my family's Man Bao. She is now the imperial physician in the palace. His Majesty just appointed her as a fifth-rank official not long ago."
Qiu family and Jia family:...
Zhou Lang continued to introduce, "This is my third nephew Lixue and my fourth nephew Ligu. They are both studying in the academy now. Alas, they are not as smart as my younger sister. I just thought that they would be able to read in the future and fail in the exam.
Official, it’s not bad to be a clerk. By the way, is Bai Shan here?”
When asked, Zhou Lizhong nodded blankly, not knowing what had happened to his fourth uncle today.
Zhou Lang then smiled and said: "Uncle Qiu, Uncle Jia, let me introduce you to my brother-in-law. He is very good at reading. Now he is a reading companion for the prince in the palace. It is rare for Xiu Mu to come out of the palace today, so I invited their family
Come and have some of Sixth Brother’s engagement wine.”
Everyone:......
After finally showing off, Zhou Lang felt refreshed and led Old Man Qiu's cousin and uncle upstairs, not forgetting to go back and greet the Qiu family.
Years ago, before deciding to tell Zhou Lang about the marriage, Zhou Lang had inquired about the Qiu family's situation.
The Qiu family only has one daughter, Qiu Pei. Generally speaking, in this case, they must either hire a son-in-law or adopt an heir from a brother's family to raise. Otherwise, after death, this wealth will not be able to accompany the daughter except for the dowry.
Most of them can only be divided among the clan members.
In addition to this shop, the Qiu family also has a small house two streets away from here.
Even though it’s only the first time you enter, it’s quite spacious inside. There are countless envious people in the clan.div
