Before Lian Shouxin and Wulang could say anything, Xiao Qi walked up to Lian Man'er first, said hello to Lian Man'er with a smile, and stretched out his hand to ask for money.

Lian Man'er was a little shy at this time, but seeing Xiao Qi's appearance, she immediately deliberately raised her eyes.

"If you don't like money, you have a brain." Lian Man'er said, and gave Xiao Qi a chestnut.

This time, naturally I won't really use my strength. Xiao Qi still jumped up with a sigh, protected his head with one hand, and cried out in pain on the other.

"Dad, mother, brother, watch my sister beat me." In this way, he did not forget to complain.

The whole family laughed, don't look at Xiao Qi now that he is always a little adult outside, when there are only a few members of his family, he still can't help but show childishness from time to time.

"Your sister is ashamed of you, and you still recruit her. She doesn't beat you or anyone. Zhang smiled.

Xiao Qi saw that the family didn't help him, and the grievances on his face disappeared in an instant, and he sat next to Lian Man'er, looking at Lian Man'er with a smile.

The girl's family said that it was a good family affair, which was naturally a great joy. But it also means that the girl is going to get married. Although the date has not yet been decided, the family, including Xiao Qi, knows that this day will definitely not be too far away.

In addition to the joy, I am starting to be a little reluctant now.

The girls brought hangover tea and some fresh fruits, and the family chatted about homely things while drinking tea. The topic has always revolved around the family affairs of Gorou and Lian Man'er.

"Gorou told me just now that he wanted to settle his affairs and do it. Don't delay Man'er and the sixth master. Lian Shouxin whispered to Zhang.

Lian Man'er was beside her, talking to Xiao Qi, when she heard a few words and guessed a little. I know what Lian Shouxin is talking about.

"Father, mother, brother, you can't do this." Lian Man'er hurriedly said, "My brother is also a major event in his life." It's not just his own life, it's also about our whole family. ”

To put it bluntly, if Lian Man'er marries badly, she is wronged alone. But if Gorou marries an inappropriate daughter-in-law and enters the door, it will not only be Gorou who is wronged, but it will have a great impact on the entire Lian family. So, Goro's matter is sloppy.

"I can talk about it in my head, don't be careless about my brother's affairs in order to rush me. It's not sloppy at all. Let's do the same as we discussed before. By the effort. Pick a sister-in-law for us. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said yes in the first place. Lian Man'er said with a deliberate tiger face.

"It's not sloppy, don't worry." Even Shouxin and Zhang laughed.

Gorou won't be able to say anything at this time.

“…… The sixth master is older than Man'er. Judging by what he meant, he also wanted to marry Man'er as soon as possible. "Zhang's said." Let's say that we have to wait for Gorou's business to be done first, and we say that this is the rule, but in fact, that's also a saying. …… There are just a few of you in the family, your sister is married, if Gorou hasn't added someone yet, Man'er will go out, oops, when I think about it, I don't feel good in my heart......"

What Zhang said at the moment was completely from his heart.

"Besides, the sixth master can't be in a hurry about this matter. Man'er's affairs must be handled well. This dowry or something, that can't be prepared! Zhang said again.

"That's for sure." Lian Shouxin nodded.

"Yes." Gorou also said.

In the past two years, the family has been busy with the two things of Wulang's marriage and Lian Man'er's marriage. However, for the upcoming busyness, the family is willing.

In the evening, the family had dinner together, and sat and chatted in Zhang's house for a while before returning to their rooms. Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi came out first, and Gorou stayed at the end, and talked to Lian Shouxin and Zhang before leaving.

When Lian Man'er had turned off the lights in this house and went to bed, the lights were still on in Lian Shouxin and Zhang's house.

The two of them were already lying under the covers, talking in a low voice with the lights on.

"Man'er's dowry can't be thin, it must be thick. Gorou is right, our family has now, thanks to Man'er. The sixth master is also the benefactor of our family, and it is appropriate to give more dowries. "Even keep the word.

Obviously, Gorou had already discussed this matter with them.

"That's for sure." Zhang also said, "Even without this, Man'er's dowry has to be thick." The sixth master has ten heads for us, and he doesn't have anything to choose. How will we go out of our five lang and Xiao Qi in the future, that will be in the future. Now the identity of our family is a cut away from the Shen family. Our daughter's dowry is thick, and after passing the door, the waist board of what she is talking about is also straight. ”

"Yes, that's right." Lian Shouxin nodded again and again.

The two of them spoke in a low voice, and discussed until the second half of the night, before turning off the lights and falling asleep.

Shen Liu came to Songshu Hutong in person, although it was to drink and listen to the play, and the matter of marriage was limited to a verbal agreement, but the news still spread quickly. Naturally, Shen Liu's lack of desire to keep this matter a secret was one of the main reasons. Therefore, on this night, the people who couldn't sleep were not limited to Lian Shouxin and Zhang. In this deep house compound in Liaodong Mansion, there are quite a few places where the lights are swaying all night.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang's were happy and couldn't sleep, and some people couldn't sleep, but it was another reason entirely.

“…… Is it really decided? Or did the sixth master come to the door to mention it himself? …… No way...... Why is she, a country man...... What can I do......

Then there was the rattle of cups and plates hitting the ground.

"No one can say anything about this. Don't say that you haven't made up your mind, even if you have made up your mind, then it may not be possible in the end. Even if it does, there are people who enter the door on the first day and die the next day. If you don't have that blessing, you don't have that blessing. …… The Shen family is not without such a ......."

"Even if he dies the next day, he will take the position of the eldest wife. How good is the reputation of filling the house...... I'm not happy ......."

"Okay, okay, okay, then don't let her in......"

……

Although Lian Shouxin and Zhang slept late this night, they still got up early the next day, and they were not tired. Lian Man'er actually doesn't sleep well at night, after all, her life will change dramatically, even if she is calm, her mood will inevitably fluctuate a little.

After the family had breakfast, they discussed arranging a dowry for Lian Man'er. Although Gorou hasn't decided on a marriage affair yet, marrying in the past two years is also a sure thing, so the family is discussing some things that can be purchased together.

Lian Shouxin first mentioned the problem of the house.

"Your mother and I have thought about it, we are reluctant, but we are not the ones who don't understand things. Gorou will go forward, I'm afraid that there will be more time to live in Fucheng. No matter how far away it is, the capital, the south or something, then we won't stop it. Even so, our old house is also our roots. ”

"I discussed with your mother, and in our old house, I built a cross-courtyard for you. Let's also learn from the style of this city, and when the time comes, you young people will have your own yard and be in the right place. ”

"Yes." Zhang nodded.

Making this decision was not easy for Lian Shouxin and Zhang. If you follow the hearts of these two people, you will build a wing room in their yard of the old mansion, so that Gorou and Xiaoqi can live after marrying their daughter-in-law. In this way, in a courtyard, the sound of each other, so that it is in line with their parents' desire to like their children and grandchildren to be around their knees, reunion, and lively.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang's are still very considerate of their children, and they are quite enlightened parents.

Xiao Qi's yard didn't wait to go back, so he built it with his hands. The yards of the two of you, we're exactly the same. "Even keep your word and say.

Neither Gorou nor Kochi makes sense. Originally, when planning the old house, enough space had been set aside to build additional buildings, and in the past two years, Lian Shou has been planning to build Gorou and Xiaoqi's house. Now, the time is right.

"Then this house, let's ask someone to paint it in Fucheng, and see what my brother and Xiaoqi like, you can also add or subtract." Lian Man'er said.

Although it was to discuss buying a dowry for herself, Lian Man'er did not avoid it. This is also a major event in the family, and her opinion is as important as ever.

"Okay, that's all. When the painting is done, I will go back and lie down and put things in order. Supervise the work later, and arrange a few more reliable people. "Even keep your word.

"The house of the old mansion is such an arrangement, and in the future, the two of you will live here in Fucheng. Our yards, plus the old places in the garden, can live in any way. Zhang said.

The matter of the house is settled, and the next thing is to buy things.

"I'm going to make a bed for Man'er, a full set of furniture, this wood thing, I've already heard about it. Just buy it from our city timber store, there are all kinds of good wood. "Lian Shouxin said, obviously, Lian Shouxin had this matter in his heart for a long time, so he would pay attention." Needless to say, there are pine, elm, and poplar trees in our Liaodong Prefecture, as well as the best rosewood and mahogany shipped from the south, so we will pick up the good ones and buy them when the time comes. Hire the best carpenters and start work as soon as possible. ”

As for cloth, spices, etc., the family discussed letting the shopkeeper Jiang, who is now the chief steward of Jiang, go south to buy it in person.

"In previous years, when I went to buy department stores, he always went. He is familiar over there, and his eyes are poisonous, so it is most appropriate for him to leave this matter to him. ”

"We opened an order and asked him to buy it according to the list. In addition, he was instructed to not limit himself to the list, he looked at what was good and fresh, and he just bought it. ”

In this way, the family agreed on several big things, and immediately began to arrange for people to arrange for them to be handled.

In joy and busyness, time passes the fastest. And the winter of Liaodong Mansion, with the first snowfall, can't wait to come.

In the backyard of the inverted hall, Lian Man'er wore a homely brocade smoky red cardigan, and a silver-red brocade leather skirt, sitting on the kang.

It's winter, the kang in the house is warm, and there is a brazier on the ground. Lian Man'er sat there, holding a small hand stove in the shape of a square pier in her hand, stepping on the foot stove, watching the fresh things brought in by the little girls.

…

Ask for pink.
