Chapter 10 Chang'an - A Thousand Miles to Promote Marriage
At noon, the day, which had been gloomy, finally opened up a little brighter, and it was warmer than in the morning.
"By the way, lady, do you remember when we passed by Changshou Village before, Boss Qian asked us to propose to Mrs. Wang on his behalf?"
"Of course I remember, Mr. Qian also gave me the sachet he was carrying, and asked me to pass it on to Miss Wang."
"It just so happens that Mrs. Wang's house is at the entrance of the alley in front, and it is close."
As soon as the husband and wife walked to the door of Mrs. Wang's house, they met Mrs. Wang's family, who had just returned from outside.
"I don't know if the two of you came, it's rude to keep the two of you waiting for a long time."
"Madame's welcome, we've just arrived."
Mrs. Wang asked her daughter to beckon the couple to sit in the house, while she went to the back kitchen to wash the fresh fruit she had just bought.
"Please sit casually, why didn't you inform you in advance when you came to the house, we didn't prepare anything."
"Miss Wang doesn't have to be so polite, we also remembered that there were some things to tell the lady and the girl when we passed by the door, so we took the liberty to visit."
As she was talking, Mrs. Wang brought a plate of freshly packed fruit, with some water droplets hanging on it, which made people very greedy.
"Coincidentally, this fruit is exactly the girl's favorite food, since you are here, don't be polite, eat more."
"Thank you, ma'am."
The fruit is sweet and juicy, very refreshing, if the main meal is heavy in oil and water, it is excellent to eat some after a meal.
"Childe just said that something is coming, I don't know what it is?"
"Earlier, when my lady and I passed by Changshou Village, Boss Qian happened to come back from doing business in other places, and when he heard that we were coming to Chang'an, he asked us to come to visit Madame."
"He must have wanted to ask about Mr. Qian's marriage to my family."
"Exactly."
"If the two of them are in love, I don't object to it, but it's just ......"
The Wang family is not a rich family, but the family background is okay, life is good, and the family is harmonious.
Wang Jiawan'er is also slim, although she does not have luxurious clothes and jewelry, but she knows some poetry and books, so her temperament is not inferior to those ladies.
The Qian family is a businessman, and the business is booming, and it is a relatively wealthy family, and there is a small mansion in Changshou.
Although Mr. Qian is a child of a rich family, he has no arrogant temperament, but is low-key, and he reads poetry and books, and is a very knowledgeable young man.
"Madame thinks she is worried that Miss Wang will be wronged if she marries into the Qian family, after all, the Qian family is a rich and noble family, and it is inevitable that there will be more rules."
"Yes, although my Wan'er behaves in a good manner, she is used to urinating freely, but I am afraid that I will not be able to adapt to it when I go to the Qian family, which will displease the old lady."
"Mother, didn't Wan'er tell you that Mr. Qian treats me very well, and Grandma is also a very gentle person, and I am very close to her."
Speaking of which, the two families are old acquaintances, and they often move around during the New Year's holidays, and if Mr. Qian passes by Chang'an when he runs business with his father, he will definitely visit the house.
"Boss Qian said that the old lady and his wife like Miss Wang very much, and often talk to him about the marriage of the two."
"Yes, yes, this time Boss Qian asked us to come here to ask Mrs. what she meant, if Mrs. allows, they will send a bride price in a few days."
"Since Boss Qian has said this, I can't shirk it anymore, I like it very much, I like it very much, he is polite and filial, and he will take care of people, but he often runs outside, and he is not at home for many days throughout the year, how can he live his life."
"Mother, don't worry about your daughter, Mr. Qian is the future master of the Qian family, and he will take care of the business of the Qian family, and he has promised that if I marry him, he will definitely take me with him when he goes out."
Miss Wang said, with a happy smile on her face, she knew that her mother was afraid that she would suffer.
"Going out is naturally indispensable to the wind and sun, they are busy with business, and they often rush day and night, how can you stand it when you are a girl?"
"Mother, I'm not one of those pampered rich ladies, you forgot that when I was young, I often went out of the city with Uncle Li next door to deliver goods."
Uncle Li is a businessman who runs goods, and often goes to the villages near Chang'an to deliver goods, and gradually more people ask him to deliver goods, so he makes a fortune.
Now that a shop has been opened, some people have been recruited, and most of the shops in the city have asked them to deliver their goods, which are cheap and safe.
"And you see, didn't Gongzi Yu and Miss Zhen also walk the rivers and lakes together."
"People have martial arts, what about you? Don't let the beast get out of the house. ”
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore."
Miss Wang snuggled in her mother's arms, but she looked like a child who didn't grow up.
"I think Mrs. is reluctant to Sister Wan'er, and the reluctance is written on her face."
Xiaozhen looked at Miss Wang, then at Mrs. Wang, and smiled softly.
"Alas, naturally I am reluctant, but this girl is old and always has to get married."
"Mother, then you agreed?"
"Agreed, of course agreed."
"Thank you, mother."
facilitated the marriage of the two, and finally lived up to Boss Qian's trust, and the couple could finally give an account to Boss Qian.
"By the way, Sister Wan'er, Mr. Qian asked me to give this to you."
Xiao Zhen took out the beautiful gold silk sachet and handed it to Miss Wang.
"This sachet Qian Gongzi always carries it on his body, and he has never been separated for a moment, so he must be regarded as a treasure."
Xiao Yu said, fiddling with a delicate sachet in his hand, which Xiao Zhen personally collected flowers to make spices and sewed them with ice silk, which he had always carried with him all these years.
Miss Wang took the sachet and stroked it gently.
"Mr. Qian said that this thing was given by the girl, and it was his most precious thing, and now he handed it over to the girl to send his thoughts and sincerity, and he only wants to grow old with the girl in this life, and bring it back to the wedding day."
Hearing this, the smile on Miss Wang's face became even sweeter.
Xiao Zhen brought a lotus petal, urged the spiritual power to send the news of the completion of the matter to it, and then summoned the spirit bird to spread the news.
After a while, the spirit bird returned, bringing a letter from the boss of the money.
The letter said that he would take Mr. Qian to the house to propose marriage in a few days, and set a date for the two to get married, and said that he brought some New Year's goods to Mrs. Wang's family.
"Now that it's over, let's not bother much."
"There are two people who are worried about the affairs of our two families, and there are just a few newly woven cotton cloths at home, so please accept them."
"It's just a gesture, Madame is too polite."
Chang'an's cotton cloth has always been famous, and the merchants of various gangs will definitely bring some when they run the goods, and they can sell it at a good price wherever they go, so it is a very valuable gift.
"Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, there is nothing decent as a gift, this cloth color and style are very suitable for the girl, the two of you will accept it, and ask the tailor Zhang to make clothes for the girl."
"That being the case, you're welcome, thank you, Madame."
"Wan'er, go and wrap these fruits and bring them to the two young heroes, Miss Zhen thinks it's a formal ceremony, and she hasn't eaten a few."
"Okay, let's go."
Zhang Ji Buzhuang is not far from Mrs. Wang's house, and the husband and wife went to Buzhuang when they went out.
"The two guest officers, please, buy cloth or make clothes?"
"The New Year is approaching, come and make clothes for my lady."
"Okay, it's just that tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and some of the orders ordered by the guests before have not yet been completed, and I am afraid that it will not be completed today."
"It's okay, I still have some things with my wife, I'll pick them up in a few days."
"Boy, wait, girl, come with me."
After a while, Tailor Zhang measured the size for Xiaozhen, and Xiaoyu stepped forward to pay.
"Won't Childe make a new dress?"
"I don't need to, there are still a few clothes that the lady made for me before that have not been worn."
"Since you're here, let's make clothes, this year's New Year, I don't think I have time to make clothes for my husband."
"Then listen to the lady."
Before Xiaoyu could say this, Xiaozhen was already choosing the fabric for him.
