Chapter 130: Parents' Homes
In the evening, Mrs. Xue and Shen returned to the house from the mountain together, Xue Qianxun had already received the news, so he did not rush to his grandmother, but waited for his grandmother to call him over, sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, a maid came to say that the old lady called him, his face showed a look of anxiety, pushed open the door and hurriedly said: "Grandma, what did Master Qingyuan say?" ”
At this time, Mrs. Xue had already changed her clothes, and she couldn't hide a smile in her eyebrows and said: "This girl is indeed the person you have destined, tomorrow the old man will personally go to her house to ask for relatives, no, the things are not ready, it is better to be ready to go, so show respect." ”
Everything was as Xue Qianxun expected, and the next thing he was waiting for was the day to go to Tang's house, thinking of this, his face softened, and Mrs. Xue, who was just finished sighing, saw it: "Finally, I can see you marry a daughter-in-law before I close my eyes." ”
Hearing his grandmother say this, Xue Qianxun felt a little embarrassed, he still didn't say something to her grandmother, and hesitated for a long time and said: "Grandma, this Qing'er is only thirteen years old after the New Year this year, I want to marry her next year, her father and mother also said the same to me, I have promised their family, when her thirteenth birthday is over, I will marry her,"
"This is the ...... Why didn't you say it earlier," Mrs. Xue said with a bad face, she thought that her grandson would marry this year and be able to hold her great-grandson next year, but she didn't expect that her grandson would agree to her family's request in order to marry a girl from the Tang family, and she hated iron and said: "You haven't married her yet, so you turned your elbow out, and you will see your mother coming in a while, how can you talk to her." ”
After Shen went back to the room to change clothes, he went to his mother-in-law again, and when he saw his son talking to his mother-in-law, he said with a smile: "Son, tomorrow my mother will start to prepare for the dowry, and the day after tomorrow, we will go to Tang's house to propose marriage." ”
Xue Qianxun looked at his grandmother for help, which caused the old lady to glare angrily, and finally the old lady Xue couldn't bear her grandson's eyes and said to Shen: "Daughter-in-law, I have to talk to you about something?" ”
"Mother, what are you talking about?" She is now full of thoughts about her son's marriage, and she doesn't think about what her mother-in-law is going to say.
"Xun'er told me that the day after tomorrow is a marriage, and he will only get married next year, and he has promised the Tang family that he will not get married until the Tang family girl has passed her thirteenth birthday." Old Mrs. Xue said carefully, the only thing that made the Shen family happy all these years was Xun'er's marriage, from listening to Master Qingyuan's doubts and congratulations to going down the mountain and returning home, the smile on her face along the way could not be hidden.
When Shen Shi heard this, his smile froze, and he raised his eyes to look at his son and said: "You really agreed to this, why are you so confused, you didn't get married on this day, everything is variable, you finally met the destined person, you should have caught her early and let her marry into the mansion." ”
In these years, I am not afraid of thieves and thieves, I am afraid of thieves, listening to what my son said, this Tang girl can read and break words, help the family make money, and can go up to the hall and get into the kitchen.
Xue Qianxun didn't expect her mother to think about this layer, so she smiled and said: "That's why I'm in a hurry to set her first, at least let others know that she has the master, and those who have this mind can dispel this idea." ”
Shen nodded and said: "This is not bad, then let's hurry up and quickly decide the relatives first, as soon as the Tang family's birthday is over next year, I will find someone to calculate a good life and get married directly." ”
What can Xue Qianxun say, her mother thinks more than him, more than him, he smirked: "Mother, then this matter will trouble you." ”
Mrs. Xue looked at the two of them discussing the matter of going to the Tang family the day after tomorrow, and when she thought of the eldest child, she said to Xue Qianxun: "That day, your father also has to go, you still give him a soft service, how can the two of them have so many overnight hatreds, when they meet, they are like enemies, with a red face and a thick neck,"
Xue Qianxun pondered for a while and said, "Grandma, I know," in the face of major events, face is still not important.
In ancient times, the father of the man first sent a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman agreed, he sent the matchmaker to send a gift to the family and officially set the marriage, so Shen went to find a famous matchmaker in the town to go to Tangjia Village to propose, and after they agreed, they began to purchase things for the family, such as silk and satin clothing, jewelry, cakes, incense and candles, and even sheep and pigs, etc., full of a large car.
Tang Qing'er was dressed up by her mother all morning that day, no longer a lively and lovely girl, she looked a little ladylike, waiting for Xue Qianxun's family to come home at home.
When the three luxuriously decorated carriages stopped at the door of Tang Qing'er's house, it still caused an uproar in the village, and only a few families who were good friends with the Tang family's daughter and the Xue family knew about it, and the rest of the village did not know.
The first carriage came down was Master Xue, followed by the Shen family's matchmaker, and the last one was Mrs. Xue, when did Tang Tiezhu and his wife see such a large lineup, the two looked at each other, not knowing how to say hello, or the matchmaker mediated on the side: "Brother Tang, this is the old lady of the Xue Mansion and the father and mother of the Xue family, and they all came over today to officially marry your Qing'er." ”
Tang Tiezhu said dumbfoundedly: "Oh, okay, hurry up and enter the house." ”
Li dragged the head of the house on the side, made him sober and sober, and said with a smile: "The humble house is a little simple, I hope you don't care." ”
The Shen family did not look down on the posture at all, and took the hand of the Li family, like a sister, and said: "In-laws, where is this, they will be a family in the future, don't you say these foreign ways?" ”
Master Xue helped Mrs. Xue and didn't speak, Tang Tiezhu looked at his father-in-law, and found that his expression was serious, his face was not good, and he wondered if it was because he came to see it in person, felt that his own conditions were not good, and wanted to withdraw from his family, thinking of this, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat and said: "Come into the house!" Let's talk in the house. At first they went into the house.
Mrs. Xue didn't have a good opinion, but she didn't like to talk outside the house, so she whispered to the boss: "You didn't see the tone of your father-in-law's speech, you want your son to hug the beauty, you have a happy face, if you let the next person go back and tell you Xun'er, wouldn't it be unpleasant to find it, don't forget, you have such a son in your life,"
Master Xue said unhappily: "This son of a son wants to marry a daughter-in-law, so if I come over to fill the scene, I won't say some soft words, and I will say directly: If you don't want the Xue family to break off the bloodline, you won't go." "Isn't that a slap in the face?
Old Mrs. Xue said happily when she heard this: "It's not your own sin, it's all sons and mothers, everything you did back then was right from the Shen family, it's just that the past is not worth mentioning, if Xun'er is dissatisfied with this matter today, don't blame me for not reminding you, you know what kind of temperament your son is." ”
"Hmph, love is as much as you want." Having said that, the expression on his face softened a lot.
After entering the house, the Li family called her daughter out, Tang Qing'er greeted her future in-laws in a regular manner, and when she looked up, her face that had not blushed for eight hundred years turned red, and she thought that it was really: the eldest girl was proud of flowers - the first time.
Shen fell in love with Tang Qing'er at first sight, and took her hand and chattered about Xue Qianxun's childhood, Tang Qing'er was embarrassed, but she couldn't leave with her hands, she could only accompany her future mother-in-law to talk about family things, Mrs. Xue didn't talk much, she kept carefully observing Tang Qing'er's every move, and found that this girl was indeed very calm, people like the Tang family, seeing them pulling such a car of valuable things, how could their eyes show greed, who knows, Tang Qing'er just glanced lightly and retracted her gaze, I used to receive too many things from Xue Qianxun, and I still feel uncomfortable, so Tang Tiezhu and his wife felt that these things in the car were a bit suspicious of selling their daughters, and they looked at them even more unkindly.
Tang Qing'er didn't have anything to do, so she could only take out a few small items embroidered by herself and give them to Mrs. Xue and her future mother-in-law, and said with a crimson face: "Over the years, I have always been unskilled in embroidery, and the embroidered things are all things that I can't handle, but I don't want to lie to you, this is my handkerchief embroidered in the dark since the day I knew about my marriage, I hope my grandmother and aunt don't laugh." ”
Shen nodded with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't embroider as our Xue family's daughter-in-law, when you marry into the Xue family in the future, you will have more branches and leaves for us, this is better than anything else,"
Old Mrs. Xue also called Tang Qing'er over and talked to her carefully, Tang Qing'er obviously felt that the questions asked by Mrs. Xue were all sharp, from ancient poems to women's morality, from home cooking to the kitchen, in short, Tang Qing'er answered a little nervously, and finally Mrs. Xue took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and handed it to Tang Qing'er and said: "This is what my mother gave me when I was a girl's house, and I have been with me for almost fifty years, so I will leave it to you to bring, I am not willing to give your mother-in-law, you have to take it away," he took Tang Qing'er's hand and put it on her wrist.
But Tang Qing'er's wrist is very thin, and it will still fall off when she wears it, she looks at the level of this jade, it is obvious that the old jade, this jade can support people, and the old jade is even more rare, the first time they met, she gave her such a big gift, how could she not accept it, and pushed: "Grandma, you still keep this bracelet!" I often help my mother with housework, if you accidentally bump and break, it's not in vain that you are blinded to this heart,"
When Mrs. Xue came, she didn't want to give Tang Qing'er such a big gift, so she asked her some questions, and this son answered very much to her heart, and she was satisfied, so she wanted to give her the jade bracelet on her wrist, and when she said this, she hugged her and said: "Then grandma will help you collect it first, and when you marry into the Xue family in the future, grandma will bring it to you with her own hands, do you think it is feasible?" ”
How can it not work, Tang Qing'er said shyly: "Listen to grandma." She really doesn't like to talk like this, she chews the words, and she has to think twice before she can say it, which is really tiring.
Seeing her father and mother sitting on a chair talking to Xue Qianxun's father and mother, her tone was humble and a little overwhelmed, which made her suddenly regret agreeing to marry Xue Qianxun.
There was a matchmaker in the middle who was reconciling, and finally made the matter of marriage very successful, Tang Qinger and her father and mother sent the old lady of the Xue family to leave before entering the house, and when they saw so many dowries in the house, they sighed: "This is not yet married?" There are so many dowries, if you get married, you can't ...... Rich people are really ......."
Li has been laughing with him all morning, his face is a little stiff, he rubbed his face, and said to his daughter: "This is not married yet?" is so tired, if you marry and live in the Xue family after getting married, how tiring it will be! ”
Tang Qing'er comforted her mother and said, "Is your daughter adaptable?" Otherwise, Grandma Xue Qianxun wouldn't have given me a jade bracelet, but fortunately I didn't ask for it, if it was broken, I wouldn't have to feel sorry for me. ”
Lee also nodded yes.
