Chapter 1496 Engagement II (for book friend Luo Qing
It is said that since Qiu Pei was ten years old, the clan began to think about letting the Qiu family adopt an heir. The Qiu family also adopted two children at first, but for some unknown reason, they gave birth to him in less than three months.
The child was sent back, and he never mentioned the step-heir again. Instead, he began to think about recruiting Qiu Pei.
The first candidate at that time was Uncle Jia's son.
However, on the one hand, the Jia family wanted the Qiu family's house and shop, and on the other hand, they refused to let their children come to the door. They delayed for several years. Qiu Pei herself despised her maternal cousin, and the Qiu family loved her. This matter
Just let it go.
Then they started to talk about other marriages. Before Zhou Lang, this girl had been on several blind dates, but the ones she wanted to be a home-based son-in-law were not good.
Their family didn't care about their family background, but they valued character and appearance, so they never paid attention to it, which made Mrs. Qiu's problem worse and worse.
Last year I saw Liu Lang, whose shop was next door, and we got to know each other very well. After learning that Liu Lang was not married even at his age, and that he was good-looking, Qiu Pei accidentally fell in love with him.
It was also because of Liu Lang's good conditions that the Qiu family did not dare to bring up the matter of visiting him. They only wished that the child they gave birth to would have the surname Qiu.
In Zhou Lang's opinion, the Qiu family is still not cruel enough and their relationship is not good, so why did they invite people over to see them?
Not to mention the expense, it also made me feel uncomfortable.
Like his family, his father had a falling out with his mother's family, and he never invited anyone over for wedding banquets at home these few times. It feels so comfortable and saves money.
However, since the guests were invited, Zhou Lang still had to observe the courtesy on his face. He invited them to the second floor, and after everyone sat down, he went to the kitchen to order the food.
When Zhou Lang was thinking about whether he had to cook by himself, Zhou Lang suppressed him and said, "Today is a good day for you. You don't have to worry about the kitchen."
The restaurant has already hired a cook and two helpers. Even if there is no Liu Lang, the food will be no problem. Plus, there are Zhou Lizhong and others to help.
Therefore, everyone had a great time at this meal. With the communication from the matchmaker, Zhou Lang said that he would send their invitations to Xuandu Temple tomorrow to calculate their dates.
They said they were going to Xuandu Temple, but in fact they did not enter Xuandu Temple. Instead, they found a relatively famous Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Lang's reason was also very good. He said: "I have inquired about it. This Taoist priest is also very good at doing calculations. He still lives in Xuandu Temple. He is the Taoist priest in the temple. It is better to go to him to do calculations than to go to Xuandu Temple."
The Taoist priests in Duguan are more economical."
Man Bao followed him and asked, "Does Xuanduguan have no objection to him stealing Xuanduguan's business like this?"
"Of course rich people won't be greedy for such a small advantage, and they still go to Xuanduguan. People who don't have money, even if they don't have him, can find someone else to deal with it, so it's the same with or without him. Xuanduguan
There will be no objection."
Man Bao started to think about it, "Does our family have no money?"
Zhou Lang paused and then said: "This is called saving when you can, you know? Anyway, I think his horoscopes are very good. Didn't you hear what he said? It's a match made in heaven!"
Zhou Lang took the three numbers written on the red paper to the matchmaker and asked the matchmaker to send them to Qiu's house for selection.
The Taoist priest chose three good days for them, one of which was June 24th. It was a bit late, so Zhou Lang rejected it himself.
One is on August 20th, and the other is on September 8th.
Zhou Lang looked at the two days and said: "The Taoist priest said that in terms of good days, the best day is the eighth day of September. It happens to be the day before the Double Ninth Festival. It fits their horoscope very well, but August 20th is the best day."
Not bad, let’s see what kind of life the Qiu family likes.”
Of course, the Qiu family chose the eighth day of September. The woman wanted to be more reserved, and she also wanted to keep the child with her parents.
And it also gave the old Zhou family room for discussion. If their family didn't want to, they could take a step back until August 20th.
So the two families quickly decided on the eighth day of September.
There were still four months of preparation time, so Zhou Lang immediately packed up and took Zhou Lizhong out to Xiazhou with peace of mind.
As for the family, it was left to Wu Lang, his wife and Fang.
Fang and Liu Lang discussed it and decided to use the room he lived in now as a new house, and then slowly began to prepare a betrothal gift for him.
Manbao didn't need to worry about these things. She wandered around for a long time, and finally ran to Jishi Hall to check on Sanya's progress. Then she went to the stall diagonally opposite to buy several meatloaf and put them in the basket.
All the efforts have been received into the system.
She decided to save the evening for a late-night snack.
Man Bao went home chewing a meat pie. Bai Shan and the others had already packed up and were waiting for her. "Where have you been? Leave quickly, or you will be late entering the palace."
Man Bao munched on the meat pie and climbed onto the carriage path: "The rest time is too short. We should be allowed to leave the palace that afternoon and go back to the palace to work and go to school tomorrow morning, so that we can sleep at home for three nights."
Already."
Bai Shan said: "Are you dreaming?"
Bai Erlang: "I never dreamed it would happen so quickly."
The three of them, who were joking around, arrived at An Shangmen first, and happened to encounter Zhao Liulang's carriage turning around. When they saw them, they raised the curtain angrily and said: "If An Shangmen is not allowed, you have to go through Zhuque Gate and Chengtian Gate."
"
Man Bao was curious, "Why?"
Zhao Liulang said: "I don't know why, after installing the door and closing it every three days, the Changle Gate is just a decoration. I always have to go through the Chengtian Gate. This is really, really..."
Zhao Liulang couldn't curse, so he could only throw down the curtain angrily and ask the coachman to hurry up. He was late and couldn't enter the palace. You are the only one asking.
Daji immediately turned around and followed Zhao Liulang's carriage. Several carriages behind them also turned around and caught up.
After entering Zhuque Gate and all the way to Chengtian Gate, everyone jumped off the carriage and queued up to check in and enter the palace.
Fortunately, everyone didn't bring much this time. At most, everyone checked for missing items and brought some tea and money prepared at home.
Bai Shan and the others also brought extra money, and the rest was their homework, so they went in quickly.
They entered from this side, but someone happened to be leaving the palace over there. Bai Shan turned his head and glanced, and saw them looking over.
By coincidence, they happened to be acquaintances, so Bai Shan smiled at the other person, nodded, and even cupped his hands as a salute.
Man Bao looked back and only had time to see the back of the person getting into the carriage. He couldn't recognize who it was, so he asked, "Who is it?"
Bai Shan looked away and said, "This is Mrs. Pi Guogong."
When Man Bao went to the Duke of Pi's Mansion to rescue Su Jian, Bai Shan followed him in, so he met Mrs. Su several times, and he recognized her at a glance just now.
He smiled and said: "She should have come into the palace to see the Crown Princess."
Man Bao nodded and didn't take it to heart. When they returned to their residence, they realized that Yin had already come in, and that he had come in on his father's horse.
He smiled and said: "Today my father is going to the Imperial Guard Camp, so he took me with him."
