Chapter 187: Giving Marriage
In fact, there is no need for Feng's persuasion, Feng Yulian has already recognized this family business. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info as long as Niu comes to mention, she will never refuse.
When the Niu family got the letter, they were immediately overjoyed, and solemnly entrusted the wife of the patriarch of the clan to be this big matchmaker. The patriarch's wife had just reprimanded the unconscious second niece and sent her back to the town's residence along with most of her mother's family, leaving only the eldest niece Xiao Shen to continue living in the ancestral house of the clan, and turned her head and went to the Feng family with a smile on her face.
When the Feng family learned of this happy event, they immediately changed their attitude. Originally, they had heard about Feng Yulian and Feng Yuting's sister and brother being persecuted by their uncle, but it was none of their business, and they got the benefits of their uncle, so they just stood by and watched. If it weren't for this, Feng Yulian would not be isolated, and she was forced to be helpless, so she could only make up her mind about her marriage, wanting to take advantage of the momentum of the Yongjiahou Mansion to get rid of her uncle's step-by-step pressure.
Now that her plan has succeeded, she has really gotten this family affair from the Yongjiahou Mansion. Before her uncle could say anything, the clansmen had already changed their faces, and all of them had become enthusiastic and caring elders for their younger generations. The patriarch of the Feng clan took his wife to Qinzhuang to come to see her, saying that he would take her back to the clan to prepare for marriage, and would not let her go back to her own house to live, and directly let her and her younger brother live in the Feng clan's house.
In addition, the patriarch of the Feng clan also had to prepare a rich dowry for her, and the patriarch's wife knew that there was only one girl and a mother-in-law waiting for her, so she immediately patted her chest and wrapped up the task of preparing a wedding ring and a companion room for her, and also took out her private jewelry to add makeup.
As for Feng Yulian's family property in their house, it is naturally given to whomever it should be, and no one can be greedy under the nose of the patriarch. The patriarch was in charge, saying that he would open an ancestral hall to divide the family for them, and Feng Yuting, as the heir to their family, would inherit seventy percent of the family property, and the remaining thirty percent would belong to their uncle. However, because their uncle had manipulated the accounts and robbed them by force, he had already obtained more than three percent, so he had to take out some of his property and pay it to his nephews and nieces. After the separation of the family, their uncle had to move out of the ancestral house, and from then on he would set up his own door, and he could no longer interfere in the affairs of their sister and brother. Now that they have become a side branch, their uncle is naturally no longer qualified to manipulate the heir of the branch of the branch.
Before the patriarch of the Feng clan came to Qinzhuang, he had already given an order to the elders of the clan, and the uncle of the Feng family's siblings was afraid that he would have been forced to take out the money by the clansmen a long time ago, and promised to divide the family and property. Relying on this, the patriarch of the Feng clan also made a request to Feng Yulian, that is, to let her not take her younger brother away. Feng Yuting is the male of the Feng family, and he is the only heir of their family who can inherit the incense. If he leaves his hometown, what will happen to their family's ancestral property? Feng Yulian wants to marry her younger brother and all the property, and it is even more impossible, except for her dowry, those properties are her brother's, and she can't touch them. Besides, there is still a large part of the land and shops here, and it is impossible to take it with them, and it would be a pity if they were sold and converted into silver taels. And after she took these properties away, was it her dowry, or Feng Yuting's property? Her husband's family was not an ordinary family, and this kind of thing must be made clear!
The patriarch of the Feng clan persuaded Feng Yulian that now the clan is willing to support their sister and brother, and will also help restrain their uncle, she should leave her younger brother behind, let him inherit the family property, study well, and make a name for himself in a few years, so that he can also glorify his ancestors. It doesn't matter if she marries into a foreign country, and it is inconvenient for her to take care of her younger brother, the clansmen will help her take care of her, and they will never let him go hungry in the cold! The patriarch will also find a good private school for him to study, and every year he will be given 20 taels of silver from the clan for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. This is already the treatment of the sons and daughters of the clan.
The patriarch gave such a generous treatment, and the Feng family felt that if she hadn't known that Qin Bai, Marquis of Yongjia, had promised to take Feng Yuting with her to teach, she might have been tempted and tried her best to persuade Feng Yulian to agree to the patriarch's request. But now, she doesn't have that mouth. What good teacher can you find in the Feng clan? No matter how good it is, it can't compare to Qin Bai, the uncle of the country!
Feng Yulian really declined the patriarch, but she said it tactfully, and vaguely revealed her intention to let her younger brother study from her future father-in-law, Yongjiahou, without directly saying that Qin Bai had actually agreed. The Feng clan patriarch immediately forgot to be angry, and instead laughed and said that she was thoughtful, and smart and clever. Not only did he no longer mention the matter of letting Feng Yuting stay in the clan, but he also offered to sponsor Feng Yuting's pocket money of twenty taels of silver every year for his daily expenses in the Hou Mansion, together with the twenty taels of ink, paper and inkstone promised before, a total of forty taels of silver, enough for a young man to live comfortably for a year.
He even asked Feng Yulian if he needed to choose one or two long-term followers or scholars for Feng Yuting from among the children of the side branches of the family? In this way, Feng Yuting would have reliable people around him to help him do things, and he could concentrate on his studies and not have to worry about the trivial matters of life.
Feng Yulian hesitated, but did not refuse the patriarch's proposal, only said that the candidate was for her and her younger brother Feng Yuting to decide. If the younger brother really worships under his father-in-law, it is impossible to go to Datong with her, and he will be alone in the capital in the future, although he will have in-laws to take care of him, but it is inevitable that there will be times of embarrassment. If there are people around to take care of you, you will not be left alone. As long as you are careful when choosing candidates, and pick one or two old and stable people, even if her sister can't always be by her brother's side, she can feel much more at ease.
The patriarch of the Feng clan got a satisfactory answer from Feng Yulian, although there were still some shortcomings, but he was also in a good mood. He was going to take Feng Yulian's sister and brother back to the sect room to live, so that he could prepare for his niece's marriage.
But Feng persuaded him: "Let my sister stay with me." First, the second son of the Yongjiahou Mansion is not in Jiangning, and he will not meet his sister, so he is not afraid of any disobedience; second, the sister is not going to marry an ordinary family, and she still has a lot to learn before the wedding. Living with me, I can still teach her a little bit, and save her from having a dark eye when she enters the door, and she doesn't understand anything, so that people can see jokes. ”
Feng Yulian's parents died, and it seems that it is not impossible for her cousin to do this kind of task that should have been the responsibility of her mother. The wife of the patriarch of the Feng clan originally wanted to say that she could also teach, but she didn't know much about the rules of the Hou Mansion, but the Feng family was the clan wife of the Qin clan, and she must know everything she should know, even if she didn't know, she would know it if she asked Mrs. Yongjiahou for advice. In terms of teaching Feng Yulian, the Feng family is indeed more suitable, and the wife of the Feng clan patriarch will not say more.
The Feng clan patriarch and his wife went back quite satisfied, and before leaving, they also left Feng Yulian a small bag of broken silver, a total of ten taels, to give her a reward and pocket money, and explained that she would send a few more people to serve their sister and brother. In addition, they still have to bother to prepare for Feng Yulian's dowry, and if they can marry with the uncle's mansion, the Feng family can't be lazy, and they must take the opportunity to have a good time!
Feng Yulian didn't care about the movements in the clan, as long as her uncle could be punished, she and her younger brother Feng Yuting could keep the property left by their parents, and her younger brother could study with peace of mind.
However, now that the marriage is decided, it is almost time for her to start embroidering the wedding dress. Before she could do it, she had to finish her brother's new autumn clothes.
Feng Yulian calmly faced the changes that this marriage brought to her life, while Niu's was happy that she had finally agreed on a reliable daughter-in-law for her second son. She waited until the eight characters were combined, the wedding book was decided, and the dowry was paid, so she asked Qin Bai to write a letter to her second son Qin An, telling him that he had a daughter-in-law, and now the family is inviting Mr. Yin Yang to watch the days, and let him get married next year!
Qin Hanzhen said that her grandmother clearly cut first and then played, and did not give Qin An a chance to refuse. Once the marriage is a foregone conclusion, even if Qin An is reluctant in his heart, he can't change it. The concubine Jin Huan beside him, if he was a person with evil intentions, he would not have time to destroy this marriage. Qin Bai and Niu's were obviously frightened by Qin An's first marriage, and he was not allowed to make his own decisions anymore.
On Wu Shaoying's side, Qin Bai didn't know that his granddaughter Qin Hanzhen had already reported the news first, and he also wrote a letter to Beijing, telling him about the situation of the Shen family, and asking him if he was willing to marry the little Shen family. However, for Qin An's marriage, the Niu family has already begun to prepare. She discussed with the patriarch's wife, the Shen family, to borrow someone from the clan and be responsible for the marriage. Feng Yulian is going to travel thousands of miles to Datong to get married, her brother is still young, and the clan is ...... It seems that there are few who can handle it, and it is best that someone from the Qin clan can accompany them on the road. After all, her cousin is the grandmother of the clan, and the Qin clan's clan can barely be regarded as half of her mother's family. This person didn't have to do anything, and along the way, he had his own tiger uncle to take care of all kinds of trivial affairs, but there was always someone who came forward to deal with the outside world.
Originally, this task was best taken over by Feng and her husband Qin Keliang. It's a pity that the couple are the sons and wives of the sect, and Qin Keliang is weak and can't withstand the long journey. There are also outstanding children in the side branch of the sect, but now they are working for Qin Bai's new house with six rooms and three rooms, and at most they can only draw out one person, but this person has never known Feng Yulian, so it seems a little embarrassing.
The patriarch's wife discussed with the eldest daughter-in-law, Feng, and decided to hand over this important task to the second son Qin Keyong. Qin Keyong also took this opportunity to follow Qin Bai and the Niu family back to the capital and Datong. Now that he has decided to go out to business, he can take the opportunity of this trip to see what business he can do.
In the capital, there are Yongjiahou Mansion and Chengenhou Mansion to support him, and Qin An to take care of him in Datong. If you want to do a leather business, Zhang Wanquan can give him some help; if you want to do a tea business, you can have Zhao Mo to match; if you want to do something else, the Wen family may be able to provide a lot of contacts. This trip north is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Qin Keyong. The patriarch and his wife are looking forward to him getting out of the current predicament and doing his next career.
And for Qin Keliang and Feng's husband and wife, it is also a good thing for Qin Keyong to leave Jiangning and start a new business, which means that he will never fight with his brother again. The brothers are at peace with each other, and the natural family is prosperous. Not only did they not object, but they also helped him to do it well.
Qin Keyong accepted the new task happily and with some apprehension, but his wife, Xiao Huang, had a different view.
