Chapter 37 Marriage Proposal
Silence is nothing more than two endings, not to die in silence, but to explode in silence.
Liang Haoye felt that the dinner time was coming to an end, so he asked his entourage to bring in two large boxes, one box contained the four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study, a total of eight sets, and the other box contained a set of exquisite tea sets and two bags of tea, the tea leaves were Anxi Tieguanyin and West Lake Longjing, which were also eight sets.
There were only six guests in total, but he prepared eight gifts. Leaving room for doing things is a good habit of a good businessman.
The gift is of a very high grade, not a large road goods that can be seen on the market, and it can be seen that it is worth a lot. The combination of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and tea set tea is elegant and good, which shows Liang Haoye's gift-giving level.
Rong Hong and the others were embarrassed to accept gifts from people when they met for the first time, not to mention that the gifts were quite expensive.
Young Master Liang said with a smile: "Since you are willing to join our education cause and are willing to pay for it for the rest of your life, why should you care about these small gifts. ”
Everyone thought about it, so they accepted it after a little excuse. Young Master Liang took a gift and handed it to Xu Shou: "This one is for Mr.'s second son."
Xu Shou couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and there was a faint feeling in his heart that he was on a thief ship, just now he impassionedly said that he would bring his two sons to join together, why do you always feel a little awkward now, it seems that these people have not developed the habit of taking more than they like those bureaucrats.
Li Shanlan was the oldest among them, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xuecun teaches his son well, the two sons are like-minded, and there is a little girl who also likes this math and Gewu, alas, by the way, Brother Xuecun, simply match your daughter to Brother Liang, and achieve a marriage, which is also a good story for me to be equal."
The Liang family and the Xu family were stunned, but Hua Yufang came to join in the fun: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing!" Brother Xuecun, Boss Liang, this little brother Liang and Brother Xuecun's baby girl, it is really a pair made in heaven. ”
It is said that these two families are indeed a good match, although the Liang family is a rich family, but the Xu family is not bad, it can be called an official eunuch family, Xu Shou is now the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration of the fourth grade, Xu Jianyin is the alternate acquaintance of the fifth grade, a proper official eunuch family, according to the cognition of this era, it is the Liang family that climbs high, and the Xu family is married, so Li Shanlan has this proposal, and with the young master Liang is so amazing, presumably the Xu family will definitely not feel that their own family suffers.
According to the rules, marriage is a major event, and the words of the parents are matchmakers. In other words, Young Master Liang who was present had no autonomy, and the two who had the right to decide were both on the scene. But they didn't have a voice, Xu Shou didn't say anything because she couldn't take the initiative as a woman, otherwise she would lose face; Liang Haoye didn't speak because he was still in a daze, he never thought about it in his consciousness (all he thought about was marrying his aunt's wife), and when he said this today, he suddenly realized that he had to think about his son, but what kind of daughter-in-law should he marry?
Young Master Liang had to protest weakly: "Uncles and seniors, this seems to be a little early, I am only thirteen years old, and my two seniors are already forty years old and are not in a hurry." (The two old singles can only act silently as characters, who knows if they are lonely in their hearts?) )
Hua Yufang is still continuing his career as a helper: "Little Brother Liang, a good marriage is not to be missed, Brother Xuecun's daughter is a beauty, don't regret missing it", after speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Master Liang, with a tone that I understand your worries.
So Young Master Liang made a ghost and said a famous sentence from later generations: "Appearance is not important, what matters is character." Hearing this, Xu Jianyin almost couldn't help but get angry, thinking that your kid is still picky in front of so many people, and my sister-in-law's first-class character and appearance are not impossible to marry, not to mention that our family took the initiative to propose it.
Hua Yufang hurriedly came out to help: "What are you talking nonsense, Brother Xuecun's daughter is famous for being gentle and well-behaved, who doesn't know about ten miles and eight towns?" ”
At this time, the young master Liang, who realized that what he had just said was not appropriate, realized that he could not delay, and there was no choice in this matter today, otherwise he would offend the Xu family and Li Shanlan, who made the proposal, so he hurriedly looked at his own decision-maker, his father Liang Haoye, fortunately, Liang Haoye had come to his senses, and he understood what his son meant, and immediately spoke: "Forgive me, forgive me, I'm sorry everyone, please forgive me for being young and knowledgeable, I didn't react to what happened just now, I have always thought that my son is still a child, never considered this matter, today after Mr. Li said, only to find out that my father should be derelict in his duty, it is time to consider a lifelong event for his son, Mr. Li's proposal I very much agree, now our Liang family is high, but also hope that the in-laws see that this child is still talented, and promise our Liang family's proposal."
Don't say it, he said everything he said, and he really couldn't pick out any thorns, the successor of the Liang family really has a few brushes.
The faces of the Xu family and several others immediately turned cloudy, cloudy and clear, now it is the turn of Li Shanlan, who proposed marriage, to speak, this Uncle Li has become a moon old today, and his mood is particularly cheerful: "Okay, a good thing has come to pass (he forgot that Xu Shou hasn't expressed his position yet), Brother Xuecun, Boss Liang, don't forget the eighteen hooves of this matchmaker in the future."
In fact, he said this very wisely, in order to show the woman's reserve, the woman can't express her position in front of everyone, otherwise it will be rude (the woman can express her position to the matchmaker alone).
But if Xu Shou took his words and answered the matter about Xie Media's hooves, it would be equivalent to cleverly responding to the marriage, and it would not be considered rude, you see, we Chinese are very particular about etiquette. It's much more profound and elaborate than the hypocritical etiquette copied by the little devils.
Sure enough, Xu Shou still thinks very much about Liang Sihan in his heart: "Brother Li is too worried, although there are a lot of these eighteen hooves, my Xu family can still get them."
Licheng!
Liang Haoye immediately pulled his son closer, first met Xu Shou with the gift of his in-laws, and then asked Young Master Liang to meet his father-in-law and thank the matchmaker Li Shanlan. To say that he lacked mental preparation in this area even more than his father, but the matter has come to this point, what can he do! A manly man, he is not afraid of knives and guns, but he is still afraid of having a wife? Thinking of this, he strengthened his courage and returned to his true character as a hero, smiling with his father-in-law, eldest brother, matchmaker, helper and two seniors who watched the excitement without saying a word (these two said that it was too late for us to envy, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing) one by one, and followed his father to the residence to rest.
