Yu Jiao stopped talking, looked at Zhang Xiaoxia, and then at Dachu, this matter, no one can say anything, I have to ask the main family to talk about it.

"Sister Ling, don't worry about these, we are not a big family, we are all Zhuang people, the same to go to the field to cultivate, the beginning of the study, but also because of his cousin, if it wasn't for his cousin to build a school, he would not have had the opportunity to study, speaking of our family, but also a villager, just now my sister-in-law said that after the beginning of the year, I will be an official, may say big, but you can rest assured, you really want your daughter to be on the same with my family, I promise not to treat your daughter badly, are all mothers, No one wants their children to be wronged, and I have two daughters. Zhang Xiaoxia pondered for a moment, then took over and spoke to Cheng Ling's family.

"I didn't mean that, it's just the situation of my family, you know, my daughter, she is honest, and she doesn't know how to speak, although I don't have any opinion on what you say, it mainly depends on what my husband means." After listening to Zhang Xiaoxia's words, Cheng Ling actually thought that there was no problem in her heart, and her daughter was really going to get married, and she would definitely be able to live a good life, but she was a woman, and she still needed her man to decide in the end.

Although it doesn't matter whether there is a matchmaker to introduce it in this Zhuang family, as long as you know that the other party has a good character, you can basically determine that there is no problem, but now, Cheng Ling and their family's idea is also simple, that is, asymmetry, I am afraid that I am not worthy of the other party's family background, and the other party is still a scholar, so I have always had some small concerns in my heart.

"Let me say a few words, I am the beginning of his father, what about the family, I never asked, generally my wife to decide, the big things are basically my nephew to make decisions, we Chen Jiawan suffered a few years ago, this settled in my nephew, before my family of five, when there was no food, can only find some wild vegetables on the side of the road to fill the stomach, and then to the nephew's house settled, then there is a bowl of full rice to eat, we have to go down to the field every day, is a farmer's family, there is nothing unworthy, in the words of my nephew, There is no noble and lowly saying in this world, as long as your daughter and my son are married, if you really want to treat your daughter badly at the beginning, I will not let him go as a father, not to mention my nephew will not let him go, so you should put your heart in your stomach. When Chen Erlin rarely expresses his opinions, he is basically an honest person who goes around the fields, and this call comes out of his mouth, if Fang Jing is there, he must give a big thumbs up.

Everyone listened to what Chen Erlin said, but Zhang Xiaoxia knew that her husband rarely expressed any opinions, and she basically decided the affairs of the family, but she didn't expect that her husband was not ambiguous at all for the sake of his son's life events.

"Sister Ling, Brother Zhang, what my brother-in-law just said, you also know what they mean, how about you think this matter is settled?" When everyone was embarrassed, Yu Jiao stood up and said something.

"Husband, what do you think of this?" Cheng Ling looked at her husband, asked softly, and looked at Da Chu sitting on the stool from time to time.

Cheng Ling is very satisfied with the beginning, from the time she entered the door to the present, except for saying hello, she has not said a word, and has been listening quietly, in Cheng Ling's heart, people who have read books are different, her daughter is really going to get married, and she will definitely be able to live a good life, but because there is no dowry in this family, she is afraid of losing her daughter.

"I don't have an opinion, I believe it, Sister Xiaoxia." Zhang San looked at Da Chu, and then at his daughter standing behind Cheng Ling, and nodded in agreement.

"That's great, this matter is decided, you will be in-laws in the future, Sister Ling, you have to put away these things, although it is not much, it is just a meeting gift, tomorrow, we will come over again to settle this family matter, what do you think?" Yu Jiao looked at the couple and nodded in agreement, this matter is also settled, as for Da Chu and Zhang Meili, their faces are already red at this time.

"This ......" Cheng Ling was a little embarrassed to accept these gifts now, and they were all things that were not common at home, not to mention that there was a piece of cloth in it, which could be said to be a valuable item for their family, and the meeting gifts were so valuable, let alone this gift.

"Sister Ling, take it first, it's all in-laws in the future, there's nothing that can't be accepted, that's okay, let's go back first, we'll come back tomorrow morning, and send their family gifts." Yu Jiao and the others stood up from the stool, said goodbye to Zhang San's family, and then left the courtyard and walked home.

"How's it going? Did Zhang San and his lady agree? It should be fine, right? Xue looked at the group of people who returned home and asked.

"Mother, don't worry, Zhang San's family has agreed, just send this gift over tomorrow, and then choose a good day, and you can marry this beautiful Zhang home at the beginning of the year." Yu Jiao hurriedly introduced the matter to the Xue family just now, but fortunately, this family matter was decided, and she only needed to pass it tomorrow, basically just waiting for the day to get married.

"Okay, it's fine, this beautiful little girl is good, Dachu, you have to treat others well in the future, don't bully others." After hearing the news, the Xue family was quite satisfied, and then turned around and explained to Da Chu.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I will treat her well." Da Chu blushed and accepted Xue's words, and then, everyone started to joke about Da Chu again.

At this time, in Zhang San's family, the family of four was happy, and Zhang Xiaodong was even happier, because Aunt Yu Jiao, who came to talk about her relatives today, sent several pieces of bacon over, and now you can solve this slander.

"Mother, I want to eat meat and eggs." Zhang Xiaodong shouted loudly to his mother, Cheng Ling, but Zhang Meimei, who was still immersed in joy, blushed again.

"You can't eat these, you have to eat them after tomorrow, after someone comes over and makes a ceremony, don't worry." Cheng Ling is very happy in her heart, and her daughter can be regarded as having found a good family.

"Lady, is this Chen Erlin's family really as good as you asked? Xiaoxia, I know the roots, there is no problem, but I don't know about Chen Erlin. Although Zhang San was happy in his heart, he still asked his wife about the news she had heard.

"Husband, don't worry, although Chen Erlin's family settled in Fangjia Village, but what is Fangjia Village, there is a Fangjia school, and there is a Fangjia thatched cottage, and the scholars taught there are all eating imperial grain, and the three children of Chen Erlin's family have all entered the school to study, even the girl has to study, and the character is a good family, otherwise Xiaoxia's sister's family would not have settled in Fangjia Village, I heard that her nephew has the ability, but I don't know the specifics, after our family is beautiful and married, but you are about to enjoy it. Cheng Ling introduced it to Zhang Sanyi one by one, but she was only talking about some one-sided things, and she really didn't know what it was.

And Zhang Meili stood aside, quietly listening to her father's words, and began to fantasize about the days after she got married, and then, her face began to turn red again.

On the morning of the second day, Chen Erlin and his party led the horses, and the horses carried two large baskets, as did the other horse, but there were many things in the baskets, covered with coarse cloth.

Yu Jiao had already gone to invite the village of Zhangjia Village, and of course, she would also invite a few village elders to come over, after all, this marriage still needs to be contracted, that is, a marriage book.

The group came to the door of Zhang San's small courtyard, the courtyard door was wide open, and Zhang San's family stood inside, waiting for today's marriage ceremony, and outside the courtyard gate, there were already a lot of villagers standing to see the excitement, Yu Jiao and Zhang Cunzheng and several village elders stood by the gate, waiting for them to come over.

"Chen Dachu of Fangjia Village, eighteen years old, now come to Zhangjia Village Zhang Sanjia to marry, Zhangjia woman is sixteen years old, compliant and co-system, please make a gift to the Chen family." Zhangjiacun Village is holding a piece of straw paper in his hand and reading it aloud.

"Zhang Cun is just right, this is my Chen family's gift." Chen Erlin and the others walked over with the horses, knowing that this was the rule of marriage, he directly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the village official.

Mura Zheng took the paper handed over by Chen Erlin, and the straw paper in his hand was completely one heaven and one underground, this was the white paper provided by Fang Jing, which was naturally much better, but when this Mura Zheng spread out the paper, he was even more frightened and speechless, and he was stunned for a long time, if it wasn't for Yu Jiao on the side who pulled his clothes, it is estimated that this marriage ceremony would have to take a lot of time at night, and a joke would have to come out.

"Chen Jiadingli, 50 catties of bacon, 50 eggs, 5 pieces of cloth, 50 copper coins, 5 sets of new clothes, and 50 catties of preserved fruits." Zhang Cunzheng finished reading the ceremony on the paper in one breath, and sighed in his heart that this Chen family has a family background, how much does it cost.

The villagers were really frightened when they listened to the number of the ceremony, how big a rich family can be so heavy to make such a heavy ceremony, the villagers can only listen to it in their ears, and they are envious in their hearts.

Zhang San's family, standing in the courtyard, listened to the number of this ceremony that Zhang Cun was reciting, the heart in his chest was pounding, and yesterday he thought that it was at most five catties, but today he didn't expect it, but it was fifty catties, but he began to worry in his heart, if this dowry didn't have a fifty catties number, it would be really sad.

Five or one, is the number of the marriage, if the ceremony is five, then the dowry also needs to be five, this is called double five in ten, if the ceremony is one, the dowry should also be one, this is called double one pair, in ancient times, there is no six or eight such auspicious numbers said, of course, if the woman's family gives more dowry, it is also possible, but it is basically unlikely, because this is called pressure, and the man is unwilling to accept such a situation, from the beginning, It is about fifty catties of rice to come as a fixed gift, and two fifty catties of rice together in one called stone, and the stone and dang have the same sound, so it is the meaning of the door when the household, the door is also the origin of the door, of course, the saying is different, and the statement of each class is also different.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaoxia's family began to unload things from the horses, lined up, so that the villagers could see clearly, this is also a process of the ceremony, also called the eye, although it is not good, but it is so, after the relatives of Zhang San's family saw it, Zhang Xiaoxia's family, this is one by one to Zhang San's house to send in.

"There is no doubt that both sides are righteous and courteous." After Zhang Cunzheng finished speaking, he entered the courtyard with Yu Jiao and several village elders.

"The in-laws of both parties, this ceremony has also been settled, and the next thing is to make a contract." After Zhang Cunzheng finished speaking, he approached a small stool, picked up the brush that had been prepared, and began to make a contract.

"Okay, the contract has been completed, both sides draw a handprint, each hold a copy, this marriage is also counted, and you will be really in-laws in the future." After Muramasa finished writing, he shouted to everyone.

Although it is said that before getting married, you still need to go to the town to register, but these only need to be registered by the village officials in each village, and when the officials come down to collect taxes every three years, they will be verified, of course, you can also go to the official media to register, but this costs money.

"In-laws, please."

"In-laws, please."

Chen Erlin and Zhang San made a gesture of invitation to each other to show respect, and then the two of them pressed their handprints on the contract, and the village Zheng and the village elders also signed, pressed the handprints, and handed them over to the two families, each holding a copy, which also completed the marriage.

"Congratulations, you will all be in-laws in the future, two newcomers, you have to get along well in the future, don't lose each other." Zhang Cunzheng and the others all congratulated the two families and the two people who were married.

The two families hurriedly thanked Zhang Cunzheng and the elders of the villages, and said some nice words, but at the same time they also joked about Da Chu and Zhang Meililai, which made these two prospective newcomers even more blushing with their heads down, and they didn't dare to look at everyone.
