If the two families want to get married, they naturally have to sit together to discuss, so that if there is anything to say, what requirements are also easy to mention, there is no need to hide it, and then there will be a pimple in the heart after getting married.

When the two families sit together, they also have to recognize people, so as not to run into people who don't even know their in-laws in the future.

Uncles and aunts don't need to be mentioned, they all have to come out to meet, and cousins and sisters-in-law are inevitable.

First, it's out of courtesy, and second, it's to support the scene, sue the other party that there are people in our family, and you can't bully my girl.

Coupled with Zhong Siye and Xiang Ye, the pomp and circumstance are big enough.

After this calculation, a large table for entertaining male guests, one table for entertaining female dependents, and two tables are inevitable.

Murong deliberately asked people to move out the large wooden table with twenty seats in the warehouse and placed it in the courtyard of the front hall. Fortunately, it's a cloudy day, and it's cool, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sit in the courtyard.

In comparison, the Wei family, who only came with four people, seemed weak.

Rao is the heart of the defense of the country, and he can't help but tremble, which is more difficult than charging on the battlefield.

Each generation of their Wei family is a single passenger, at most one more girl, the rest are cousins and sisters, and they don't live together, like this family living together, in their opinion, it is troublesome, after all, there are many people, and there are many rights and wrongs.

The Wei family has always been not afraid of bloodshed and trouble.

Although I think it's cumbersome, I only have one son, and it's not okay if I'm not careful.

Hospitality is not only to drink and eat, but also to communicate between the two families, before lunch, everyone in the front hall to drink tea and talk. The old lady sits in the main seat, An Shiting and his wife sit on the first set of chairs on the left hand side, Wei Guogong and his wife sit on the first set of chairs on the right hand side, and the rest of the people sit respectfully and humbly according to the elder and youngest.

Just this orderly seating, a set of etiquette for hospitality. The types of tea and fruit are placed, so that Wei Guogong and his wife sweat, where will they pay attention to these in the Northeast, and they will arrange it, so it is still Shengjing's people who live finely, and it is no wonder that those local families with heritage look down on their Wei family.

Since moving to Shengjing, Wei Guogong and his wife have not been to other mansions as serious guests. This is an eye-opener. But both of them came through the storm. I wasn't scared by this rule, I just thought that it was good to talk about the rules and rules, and I married a daughter-in-law with routines in the future. There is also a radius in the house.

My heart suddenly favored this family business.

As for the old marquis's prejudiced gossip about the Weiguo Mansion, the couple didn't care.

This time it's bigger than the last time I came over, and I have to be so nervous that my palms are sweating, and my future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Uncle and uncle, there is still a night here. He is also choked enough, but because his parents are there, and most of them are elders talking, he doesn't need to speak much. He was just a little more relaxed.

As for Wei Shao, he had already been accompanied by the young lady of the An family to walk around the Hou Mansion.

In such a scene, the concubine cannot come out to accompany the guests. Now the concubines of the Hou Mansion only have An Ruolan in the big room and An Ruoyun in the fourth room, and An Ruolan can't come forward. Only An Ruoyun accompanied Wei Shao.

But Wei Shao is out of the bare temperament, and An Ruoyun really can't get along, only after a while, Wei Shao's face is full of tastelessness.

Although the Hou Mansion is not as big as the Wei Guo Mansion, it is indeed exquisite, but she doesn't like to enjoy the scenery.

An Ruoyun also knew how to look at her face, and when she saw this, she said, "Why don't I take you to Sister Xunlan?"

Wei Shao shook his head again and again, "No, no, let's just walk around at will."

She didn't dare to see Ruolan now, for fear of saying something she shouldn't have said.

An Ruoyun was puzzled, she heard that Sister Lan and Miss Wei were close friends, why did Miss Wei not want to see Sister Lan? didn't ask much, just took Wei Shao and continued to wander around the house.

At noon, the kitchen came to tell me that lunch was ready, and a group of people moved into the courtyard and sat down for a meal.

When the food was served, Duke Wei and Duchess Wei Guo looked at each other again.

Because he hasn't really decided on family affairs, he is only regarded as an ordinary banquet, and the Hou Mansion has prepared a relatively ordinary festival banquet.

Rao is like this, and it is enough to surprise the husband and wife of Wei Guo.

Before the meal, rinse tea, and then the beauty offers tea, four dried fruits, four candied fruits, four dumplings, four pickles, seven appetizers, one soup, five imperial dishes, two dumplings, five imperial dishes, two dumplings, five imperial dishes, two dumplings, two imperial dishes, two dumplings, two barbecue dishes, porridge, fruits, all kinds of flowing water, all kinds of dishes, add up to more than 40 dishes, dazzling.

Duchess Wei twisted Wei Shao's arm under the table, and whispered: "It's too grand, isn't it just a meal, what does this mean?"

She thought it would only be like this when there was a feast in the palace.

It's not a fuss, she didn't go into the palace to attend a big feast, but she just felt that there was no need to make such a big show at home, it was like showing off.

Wei Shao secretly rubbed his arm and shook his head.

As if seeing the discomfort of the mother and daughter, Mrs. An said: "Mrs. Wei and Miss Wei don't mind, everyone is free to do so, but they are afraid that the hospitality will not be good, so these are arranged, and on weekdays, the Hou Mansion is a family that sits together and eats home-cooked meals."

Hearing this, Duchess Wei felt a little better, and said with a smile: "In the future, we will be a family, so naturally I don't mind, but I feel tired of the old lady and the eldest lady, and it is really troublesome to arrange these, and there are only four of us in our family, and we are too lazy to do this."

The implication is that there are few people in the Weiguo Mansion, and there is no such rule, and it will not be done in the future.

It's also a word in the word.

How could the old lady not hear it, smiled and didn't speak, Murong said: . [,！ "There are few people and they are pure, so there is no need to do this, that is, when you visit, you want to entertain well, so you make this effort. After all, we should pay attention to something."

"That's as it should be." Duchess Wei Guo agreed, and said heartily: "I also went to Shengjing, and I knew that the people in Beijing lived so finely, and when I was in the Northeast, I was really rough and raised. If there is any rudeness, please bear with the old lady and a few ladies, we really don't understand this."

To put it bluntly, after listening to these words, the ladies of the An family were also relieved, and the second lady said: "The rules and etiquette are made for outsiders to see, and my family doesn't talk about these fictitious things, but the grandfather and Mrs. of the country, Ling Lang Lingyan officially came to the door for the first time. The number of gifts that should be asked for is still not saved. After all, I grew up in Shengjing, and I want to talk about the rules here, if it is in the Northeast, it is naturally in accordance with the rules of the Northeast, and Mrs. Wei doesn't care, just talk about what you have to say."

"It's what it is, follow the locals. Come to Shengjing for a few years. We all get it." Duchess Wei Guo smiled and nodded, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she also felt that she had a lot to learn.

Talk about it. The atmosphere is harmonious and lively.

The front yard is lively, and the backyard is much calmer, An Ruolan thought that she was going to have lunch alone, but she didn't expect a few sisters to invite companions to accompany her. But it comforted her.

After the meal, the sisters talked, but did not want to come an unexpected guest.

Fang Bining stood generously outside the door. smiled: "The front yard is very lively, so I also want to find someone to talk to, so I ran to Miss Six, but I didn't expect other young ladies to be there."

Because he is an outsider. She was not able to attend.

After being surprised, An Ruolan smiled politely: "Miss Fang, please come in, there are many people. You can talk together."

Fang Bining smiled, and a touch of discomfort flashed in his eyes.

She's also an elder. Everyone gave her a seat, and after a few words of greeting, she sat down again, and An Ruolan asked her to bring new tea.

In the end, there are outsiders who are inconvenient to speak, and everyone loses their previous enthusiasm and only chats politely.

Fang Bining was uncomfortable, sat for a while, and then said: "Everyone is not familiar with it yet, I want to come here, and it is inconvenient for everyone to talk, so I won't bother everyone."

bowed slightly, and smiled at An Ruolan again: "I came here today, I originally wanted to ask Miss Six to accompany me to Xinyue Garden, after all, I haven't been able to visit my sister-in-law for a few days, and I feel a little uneasy. But Miss Six is inconvenient today, so I'll come back another day."

She called An Shiyan the fifth brother of An, and the sister-in-law in her mouth naturally referred to the Meng family.

An Ruolan's heart jumped, and she smiled politely: "Miss Fang is too polite."

I didn't say much on the side, and personally sent someone out.

After returning, a group of girls asked, "Why did she go to see Aunt Five?" Why did you come to find Sister Lan?"

An Ruolan shook her head and said absentmindedly: "I don't know, I heard from the fifth uncle that the fifth aunt is sick and wants to visit one or two."

She didn't believe it herself.

Fortunately, the younger sisters didn't ask too much and talked about other things.

At this time, the front was almost finished, the cups and plates were removed, the tea was served, and everyone moved to the living room to talk.

After gossiping, the meal has been eaten, and then it's time to get down to business.

Wei Guo went to the door openly and said: "We don't know much about the customs of Shengjing, how to arrange it, what the process, let's follow the Hou Mansion."

In a word, the conditions are arbitrary, and we all listen.

Duchess Wei patted his hand, signaled him to be calm, and said: "I heard that the two families are going to get married, and they all invite a matchmaker to come to the door first, called Nacai, but we have already been here today, but we still have to ask the matchmaker to go again?"

Murong replied with a smile: "Today, I just invited a few people to come over and sit and get to know each other, but it can't be regarded as Nacai."

The fourth lady also covered her lips and smiled: "Let's invite a matchmaker, I haven't heard that the man's mother came to propose marriage by herself as a matchmaker."

Duchess Wei Guo thought about it, but still smiled: "They all say that they are asking for marriage, so naturally they have to be sincere, and I, the matchmaker, also do it."

In one sentence, he said that his previous ignorance of customs was sincere.

And said: "I also learned a little bit of fur, everyone corrected what I said, and after Nacai, I asked for the name, Najib, Najib, Na Zheng, and then I asked for a date to greet you, am I right?"

"Yes, that's how it is." The Murong clan all laughed.

Mrs. An said: "These are all going through the motions, for outsiders to see, since everyone has sat together and decided to get married, you can set the wedding date first."

"Mother, the eight characters are not right." Mrs. Murong said.

Duchess Wei Guo also said: "This transition has to be done well, let's take it slowly."

"That's the case, because my daughter in the second room married to Jiangnan, and now she is pregnant, I plan to let Sister Lan accompany me to Jiangnan for a trip, and I will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." The second lady said.

Mrs. An shook her head with a smile and said, "What do I say, you are all more anxious than me, and you don't wait for me to explain your words. I don't mean to say that the rites are exempt, but they can be done at the same time."

Everyone suddenly realized and said embarrassedly: "It's us who heard it."

Duchess Wei Guo disagreed: "This matter is still as planned, I really don't dare to wronged the county lord of Chenshuang, how long will Mrs. An go to Jiangnan this time?" If it's not long, it's the same if you come back and talk about your relatives."

"The second aunt is going to go in February and March, mainly because Sister Lan will turn fifteen in December, so she is engaged first, so as to make a ceremony." Murong explained.

"I see.". [,！ The Duchess of Wei Guo is in trouble.

The women discussed this, but the men were not easy to interject, and Zhong Siye and Xiang Ye couldn't interject, which would encounter problems, so Mrs. An asked Zhong Siye: "What is the best way for the nephew?" Or is there something else?"

"......" Fourth Master Zhong was stunned, and said in an unusually deep voice: "These things, the old lady discussed with Mrs. Wei and a few Mrs. An."

I am a man, and I don't care about you women.

God knows how much he wants to intervene, but he can't tell the ancients that he wants to take wedding photos when he gets married, and he has to go on a honeymoon trip after marriage!

Zhong Siye was silently messy.

An Shiyan paused and said, "Although the fifteenth salute is the best, it is not necessarily necessary to rush before the age of fifteen, and it is the same to wait for the fifteenth year to bow again."

"Fifth brother means ......," An Shiting hesitated.

"Big brother, since the time is inconvenient, why not postpone the matter of the marriage? First, there will inevitably be negligence in the hurry, and second, I am also worried that things will be done in a hurry and some people will gossip." An Shiyan vibrates with words.

Zhong Siye glanced at him, rarely echoed him, and said: "What Brother An said is reasonable, our sister is not an ordinary lady, and she is even in a hurry to get engaged, and she will be misunderstood that she can't get married."

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Wei Xing pursed the corners of his lips and said, "Then wait for Miss An Liu to come back from Jiangnan before getting engaged."

The parties all opened their mouths to agree, and Duke Wei Guo and Duchess Wei Guo had nothing to say, so they all agreed, and only said: "If there is anything else you need, just bring it up."

The two families are married, not traded, and the An family naturally does not ask too much, saying that it is good to follow the customs.

It can be said that each other has given each other convenience, and there is no dissatisfaction, so the matter is decided like this for the time being.

The family sat for a long time before sending them away.

Mama Zhang has been helping An Ruolan pay attention to the movement in front, and An Ruolan soon knew about the delay of the fall, she was helpless and funny, she guessed that her biological father still didn't agree with her being with Wei Xing, and her father-in-law, it was because Wei Xing made her wait for three years, so he could be embarrassed and wanted Wei Xing to wait for a while.

Knowing the father and daughter, An Ruolan guessed accurately. (To be continued)
