Chapter 325: Marriage
Let's talk about the side of Youzhou. On this day, Zhao Yongzhong www.biquge.info and his wife called Zhao Erlang's family over for a light meal.
Zhao Sanniang has never liked Zhao Erlang's family, and even if her family moved to a new house a few days ago, if it weren't for Zhao Yongzhong and his wife's insistence, she would not have invited their family.
But today, Zhao Sanniang knew that her father and mother invited such a family, but she didn't avoid it, but chose to stay and eat with them.
Zhao Sanniang will do this, naturally it is not to change their family. She just likes to listen to gossip and wants to take the opportunity to eat to hear the ins and outs of Zhao Erlang's family business.
Yes, Zhao Erlang got married two days ago, and the object he set was named Lu Jin.
Speaking of Lu Jin, Zhao Sanniang also had a few encounters with her, and knew that she was a child in Baishifang. It's just that Zhao Sanniang can't figure it out, why did Zhao Erlang and Lu Jin become a couple?
After listening to Qiao's speech at the dinner table, she realized that the two of them met on Shiqiao Street.
Since Zhao Erlang moved to Fucheng with his mother and sister, he has been busy for his livelihood.
Zhao Yongzhong knew that Zhao Erlang had helped his father take care of the Zhao family's old shop since he was a child, and he more or less knew some ways to run the shop. So, Zhao Yongzhong asked Zhao Erlang to try to be a shopkeeper in the shop from home. But I don't want to, Zhao Erlang is an ambitious person, he doesn't want to work for others, and he wants to be his own boss.
Zhao Erlang is not his brother's master, he is quite practical, after a series of investigations, he decided to do popcorn business.
Popcorn was mentioned by accident when he was chatting with Zhao Shilang. Hearing Zhao Shilang talk about popcorn quite mysteriously, he asked a few more questions.
Zhao Shilang thought that Zhao Erlang was very interested in popcorn, so he found his hand-cranked popcorn machine that had been idle for a long time, and asked his father to pop a pot of rice and give it to Zhao Erlang to taste.
Zhao Erlang immediately fell in love with this kind of crunchy rice flower, and killed the small half pot alone.
Zhao Yongzhong saw that Zhao Erlang really liked it, so he thought that this hand-cranked popcorn machine was still last year, and Zhao Siniang got a drawing out of nowhere and poured it out according to the drawing. In the meantime, it really took a lot of effort for the blacksmith to create a machine like the drawings, but the total number of people who used it exploded three or four times, Zhao Siniang got tired of it, and never used it again. Anyway, it's useless to be idle, so it's better to give it to Zhao Erlang, who you really like.
Zhao Erlang was embarrassed to accept such a novel machine, and hurriedly refused. But when he learned that there should be only one hand-cranked popcorn machine in Youzhou, his heart suddenly moved. After repeatedly confirming that Zhao Siniang's family really didn't use it much, he accepted it with a red face.
At the beginning, in order to burst out the rice flowers with suitable heat, Zhao Siniang's family spent a lot of food, and Zhao Yongzhong mastered the skills. Now Zhao Yongzhong was afraid that Zhao Erlang would take a detour, so he taught him hand in hand, and also used his own food to practice for Zhao Erlang.
When Zhao Erlang learned that the popcorn machine could not only pop rice, but also pop corn, millet, wheat, etc., he became more and more determined in his heart. After he learned about the sales of tea in Fucheng, he made up his mind to do this business.
It's just that although the house where Zhao Erlang lives now is leaning on the official road, it is somewhat biased, not suitable for business, and he definitely can't wait for the guests to come to buy it. So, Zhao Erlang packed all kinds of grains in one jar after another, and sold them on the flat pole along the street.
Zhao Erlang usually carries a popcorn load in the south of the city, and passes by Shiqiao Street almost every day. Lu Jin They have a stall specializing in candy on Shiqiao Street, and Lu Jin often helps there, and he will meet Zhao Erlang from time to time. After coming and going, Zhao Erlang became familiar with Lu Jin.
Lu Jin felt that the popcorn sold by Zhao Erlang was quite innovative, so he asked him to put some of the goods in their stall for consignment. didn't think that popcorn would sell quite well in the stall, so Lu Jin often went to Zhao Erlang's house to pick up the goods. In this way, Lu Jin and Qiao's are also familiar.
can be familiar, Zhao Erlang and Lu Jin are not familiar enough to talk about marriage, and they will conclude this family business, all of which are matched by Zhao Erlang and his mother Qiao.
To be honest, Qiao Shi didn't know where to find out that Lu Jin had been mixed on the street before, and he didn't like Lu Jin very much. But she was always worried that Zhao Erlang would run back to find Li Cuiwei one day, so she wanted Zhao Erlang to get married as soon as possible, completely breaking his thoughts about Li Cuiwei.
I have to say that Qiao's has been confused all his life, and it is rare to understand Zhao Erlang's marriage.
In her mind, she could actually think that Zhao Yongnian and Zhao Dalang were unreliable, and she would have to rely on Zhao Erlang's family to support her in the future. In order to support the elderly, you must find a virtuous and capable daughter-in-law for Zhao Erlang, Lu Jin can't talk about how good, but it's not bad, so choose her. After all, no matter how bad Lu Jin is, he is better than Li Cuiwei's ruthless and unrighteous little fox.
With this in mind, Qiao's acted as a matchmaker several times. Every time Lu Jin came to her house to pick up the goods, she would praise Zhao Erlang fiercely.
Lu Jin was already very clever, so he naturally guessed Qiao's intentions.
In fact, she is fourteen years old this year, and she has also reached the age of marriage. It's just that her mother went early, and her father didn't care about her, so no one was looking for a suitable candidate. Now it seems that if she wants to marry, she has to rely on herself. In her opinion, Zhao Erlang has a good temperament, good looks, and diligence, and is a very good object.
So, she euphemistically revealed her meaning to Qiao's family, which was considered to be a disguised response to this family business.
Qiao immediately told Zhao Erlang about this, thinking that in order to get him to approve of this family business, he would have to spend a lot of tongues. But he didn't want to, Zhao Erlang was just stunned, so he readily agreed.
It turned out that Zhao Erlang had a good impression of Lu Jin for a long time, so he would often hang out in front of her stall. Now that Qiao's has facilitated this marriage, it can be said that it is in his arms.
As for Li Cuiwei, Zhao Erlang has always regarded her as a sister and a friend who can confide in his troubles, and he has no childlike affection for her, and Qiao's concerns about her are completely superfluous.
As a result, such a happy marriage that both parties are satisfied with has become.
Originally, Lu Jin considered that her younger brother was still young and her father was not responsible, so she wanted to take care of her mother's family for a few more years and wait for two years before getting married. But Zhao Erlang solemnly promised that after getting married, he would help her take care of her mother's family together, so that she would not have any worries.
As a result, the two quickly got married, saying that they would get married until next spring.
