Even so, she still invited Yan Chengyuan to come over and asked about Qin Dalang's character. Then she asked Xu Wenqu to discuss it, and the family considered it approved.
Tang Shiyue was quite excited and secretly wanted to find an opportunity for the two of them to meet, but Tang Shirong refused without hesitation.
He told her: "When I go to see you, I'm just looking at your appearance. Appearance is secondary. If your family background and character are acceptable to you, then that's fine."
Tang Shiyue was speechless: "Then you have to ask others to take a look at you!"
Tang Shirong patted her head helplessly: "Atu Ayang and I go out in the Yuwen car every day. Isn't it easy to see me?"
So you’ve already seen it, right?
Tang Shiyue was really speechless about people's views on marriage in this era, but after all, Tang Shirong was a native and a gentleman. Since he thought it was good, then it must be good.
From the proposal to the consummation of the marriage, there are six rites, which are to receive the favor, to ask for the name, to accept the acknowledgment, to receive the invitation, to ask for an appointment, and to welcome the bride personally.
Tang Shiyue didn't understand any of these things, and Meng Min didn't avoid suspicion. She stepped forward directly, found an official matchmaker, prepared gifts, went to Duanqing's house to propose marriage, and sent Dayan out. This was her acceptance.
Then "ask for a name", the woman writes her birth date and birth date on the Geng Tie and gives it to the matchmaker, and the man finds someone to match. If they get a match, they will find a good day, and then take a wild goose to "Naji", which is equivalent to
Both sides settled the matter.
I just waited for Tang Shirong to take the imperial examination before going through the rest of the process, such as "submission" and so on.
The horoscopes matched, and the auspicious day was chosen well. Within a few days, the matter was completed, so fast that the whole capital was caught off guard.
Mr. Fan was right. There were indeed many people who were optimistic about Tang Shiyue, so they wanted to wait for Tang Shirong to come to high school and then be ranked among the candidates to catch his son-in-law. However, Uncle Duanqing's house made a fuss about this, and they all secretly scolded them.
Start quickly!
Tang Shiyue didn't know what the man needed to buy as a bride price, so he directly asked Ding Jiu for 100,000 silver, gave it to Meng Min, and asked her to get it.
Meng Min couldn't stop laughing when she saw him.
Tang Shiyue was confused by her smile: "Is it too much or too little? If it's too little, I'll ask Ding Jiu for it... If it's too much, then it's too much! My brother is getting married, and he must not be embarrassed!"
Meng Min laughed and said: "There cannot be too much difference between the man's betrothal gift and the woman's dowry. There are twelve young ladies in Duanqing's house. If a young lady can get married, she can have a thousand taels of silver as a foundation, which is considered very good.
, ordinary
It's only a few hundred taels. Even if Mrs. Qin secretly supplements Eleven Niang's side, she can only have three to five thousand taels at most. Including the dowry, it will never reach 20,000 taels. Once you take this hundred thousand betrothal gift,
Uncle Duan Qing can cry for you."
Tang Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's just too much. It doesn't matter if it's too much. Give them less, and the rest will be used by my brother."
Meng Min pushed back the 80,000 yuan with a smile and said, "You secretly gave the 20,000 yuan to Rong'er as your gift. I will take care of the gift."
Tang Shiyue finally heard it: "Aniang?"
Meng Min said with a smile: "I have discussed with your father and want to adopt him as my adopted son."
She took her in her arms and said, "Your father will talk to him today. This matter will, firstly, fulfill your brother-sister relationship, and secondly, it will make things easier for him in the future."
Tang Shiyue nodded and whispered in her ear what Qing Weida had discovered.
Meng Min said: "It doesn't matter. Regardless of his previous life experience, if he adopts an adopted son and is included in the family tree, he is a member of our family."
She suddenly wanted to laugh, "Your names make us look like you are part of the same family. Wei'er's generation originally started with the character 'shi'. This saves a lot of trouble."
Sure enough, in the evening, Yan Chengyuan came back specially and talked with Xu Wenqu first and then with Tang Shirong.
When it came to talking, he was always concise and to the point, and didn't take much time.
After the conversation was over, he turned around and left again. Apparently he still had an errand and came to talk in person to show his importance.
In the evening, Yan Shirui went over to find Tang Shirong again, chatted with him for a while, and then smiled when he came back: "It's true that I underestimated him. Although Ah Rong is young, his ideas are quite sensible."
So this matter was settled and we were just waiting to do it together after the palace examination.
Although Tang Shiyue didn't worry much during the whole process, she still felt like something big had happened.
After getting up from her nap, she was practicing calligraphy with Xiao Yuan'er. Yan Chengyuan hurried in and said to her: "Change into clothes, and I will take you to see your grandfather."
Tang Shiyue was stunned and hurried over to find Meng Min.
Meng Min was a little annoyed when she heard this. While quickly helping her find clothes, she whispered: "It must be that the big house was afraid of getting into trouble, so they leaked the letter to the prince. They were protected by several rounds of soldiers.
It's really a good skill to be able to pass things on..."
Tang Shiyue said: "Do we have a bad relationship with that side?"
Meng Min snorted: "What you did back then...could it be that a kid like Liang Chou could accomplish it?"
She didn't say anything more, and quickly helped her change her clothes and comb her hair, while saying: "The old prince is a good man and has been a hero all his life. However, since he was injured and his legs failed, his mood has been a little bad. The imperial doctor also said
Nothing can be diagnosed, and he is just being raised anyway. Just remember to be good, and he will not make things difficult for you."
Tang Shiyue nodded and looked in the mirror. She knew that the outfit she chose was simple and cute.
She changed her clothes and followed Yan Chengyuan back to Prince An's Mansion.
Yan Chengyuan was ordered to move away, but Yan Chengze was Chengjue's eldest son, so of course he still stayed in Prince An's Mansion.
Yan Chengze's wife, whose surname was Dong, stood up when she saw them.
Yan Chengyuan asked: "How is father?"
Dong's expression was very affectionate, and he came up to him and said, "I don't know why, but Wan'er suddenly said that he was not feeling well. I didn't even invite the imperial doctor to come, but he didn't find anything. I don't know who talked too much to the prince.
I want to meet my granddaughter..."
Yan Chengyuan didn't even listen to what she said, so he turned back to Tang Shiyue and said, "Yueer, wait here, I'll go in and take a look first."
Tang Shiyue responded.
Yan Chengyuan went and Mrs. Dong looked her up and down.
She was really looking "up and down", his eyes moving back and forth across her body.
Dong could tell that she looked good when she was young, and her eyebrows could still be somewhat beautiful. However, her nasolabial folds were slightly deeper, and she looked older and mean.
She looked over enough, burst out laughing, and said to her: "We are relatives, but this is the first time I have met you? Do you think I should call you Yue'er or Shi Yue? If I call you Yue'er...
Ouch, I think of my mother in the temple. It’s freezing cold today, and she’s very old..."
Tang Shiyue said, "I will tell the Queen Mother that you miss your grandmother very much. I think the Queen Mother will be touched by your filial piety and will allow you to go to the family temple to serve your grandmother."
Dong's face changed immediately, and she choked and couldn't say a word.
Tang Shiyue looked at her with a smile and told her with her expression, yes, aunt, I will take this route. Think carefully before you beep. Don't think I am easy to bully just because I am young. There is someone above me! (To be continued)
