This kind of thing, Xie Pu had already asked someone to see it in private when he wanted to marry his eldest daughter to Huang Yan, of course, there could be no problem.

Mrs. Huang came to propose marriage this time, in fact, it was just a formality, so as not to let outsiders gossip, and the marriage of the two families of Huang Xie was actually decided by letting both parties look at each other. Mrs. Huang took out a pair of ancestral mutton fat white jade bracelets, and Wen took out a pair of jasper mandarin ducks, and the marriage contract was officially set, and then the two families could continue to follow the next procedures. If there is no accident, when Huangyan is admitted to the Jinshi next year and returns to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he will marry Xie Yinghui.

The Wen family took the opportunity to probe whether the Huang family decided where the young couple would live in the future? If it is Huangyan High School, or the Beijing Pavilion is selected to continue studying in the Hanlin Academy, or the official is laid-off, Xie Yinghui just has to follow, there is nothing to say; But if Huang Yan fails the list and returns to Peking to continue preparing for the next exam three years later, where do the young couple live? Do you want to go back to your hometown in Changping, or continue to rent a house in Beiping City? The Xie family's opinion is naturally that they hope that their daughter and son-in-law can stay in Beiping City, and they can communicate with each other from time to time, and it is convenient to take care of them. At that time, Xie Yinghui will definitely marry a house, a grange and shops and other industries. If the Huang family has a preference for location, communicate in advance, and the Xie family can buy property for their daughter in their preferred location.

This is not to let Huang Yan eat soft rice or anything, but to ask for convenience. Once the two children get married, the two families will be like a family, and there is no need to be outsiders. Instead of letting Huang Yan spend money to rent an ordinary small house outside and live with his mother and wife, it is better to let Xie Yinghui marry a bigger house, so as not to make her husband worry about these trivial matters of life. It is better for Huang Yan to concentrate on preparing for the exam, and Mrs. Huang can also enjoy the filial piety of her daughter-in-law, and Xie Yinghui (and her mother's family) will take care of the next things.

Mrs. Huang is a very elegant and gentle woman, but she will not have misunderstandings or anger because of Wen's words. Huang Yan once lost the opportunity to return to the national prison, and had to enter the command of the political envoy of Beiping for several years. When Wen said these words, his tone was very soft, he was still discussed, and he did not look down on the mother and son of the Huang family, and he was completely from a practical point of view. Mrs. Huang also considered it from a practical point of view for a while and said her decision.

In this kind of thing, she usually has to ask her son first, but she knows her son's temper, and if she asks her to make up her mind, it is not impossible.

She has a great deal of confidence that Huang Yan will be able to go to high school in the spring of next year, and the chances of staying in Beijing and entering the museum are also quite high, but if she really accidentally misses and needs to go back to Beiping to study for another three years, she is probably more inclined to settle down in Beiping City - Huang Yan has long been less close to the clansmen, but he is just maintaining the etiquette on the surface, and he is not interested in returning to his old parents.

At present, the small house rented by Huangyan nearby is only one entry, which is indeed too small, if you want to get married, you must at least have a courtyard with two entrances, in order to be worthy of the daughter of Xie Shenzheng's family, and it can't be rented, it has to be bought. Huang Yan is now asking for his family property back, and his money is quite loose, not that he can't afford to buy a second- or third-entry house, but the location is not easy to choose. Because the best places in the city are basically either encircled to build official residences, or the private residences of those high-ranking officials and nobles are occupied.

Before Huang Yan left Beiping, he had asked a familiar agent to help him pay attention to a suitable house and prepare to get married and settle down in the future, but there was no house that could fully meet his conditions. Mrs. Huang's side can only guarantee a guaranteed house - a three-entry courtyard house near the Liulichang, which has been built for only one or two decades, and it is still new, so there is no need to renovate it extensively, the place is spacious, the layout is very good, and the price is relatively affordable. But this address is a little far away from Xie's house. This is the property of an acquaintance in Huangyan, which is currently uninhabited and is not in a hurry to sell out. Within a year, the owner promised to keep the house until he said he didn't need it.

Therefore, if in the end, the agent found by the Huang family cannot find a house near Shichahai that echoes Huang Yan's request, and finally he has to choose to settle near Liulichang, the Xie family can give the eldest daughter Xie Yinghui a property that is close to the marriage, which does not have to be too big, so that the daughter and son-in-law can occasionally go over to live, so that they can go on vacation and save their relatives. If Xie Yinghui chooses to rent out this property, how much money she earns is her private house, and Mrs. Huang will not ask.

After listening to Mrs. Huang's words, Wen had a plan in her heart and said that she would discuss it with her husband. The two wives then discussed the dowry matter, and Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin were stunned when they heard it, they never expected that as soon as Mrs. Huang came to the door for the first time, the elders had already put the procedure to the level of discussing the dowry.

Xie Yinghui's cheeks were red, her head drooped lower and lower, but her ears listened more and more attentively to the discussion between the two elders, and even Xie Mulin gently pulled her sleeve and wanted to whisper a discussion with her, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Mrs. Huang had lunch at Xie's house. Wen not only specially invited Xie Meijun, who is well-informed and talented, to accompany the guests, but also instructed the kitchen to do his best to come up with a variety of special dishes unique to the Xie family to entertain the freshly baked in-laws. Mrs. Huang soon hit it off with Xie Meijun, and during the conversation, she "accidentally" discovered that the two were relatives, and their mother was actually of the same clan, and they felt closer and closer. After the meal, Xie Meijun led Mrs. Huang to meet the Song family, and this time it was Wen's turn to be a companion. The three ladies chatted for an afternoon, and when the sun was in the west, Mrs. Huang said goodbye and left.

During her stay in the Elder Courtyard, the Wen family also sent a girl to ask Mrs. Xie in the South Courtyard for instructions, saying that Mrs. Huang had come to the door to propose marriage to her eldest daughter Xie Yinghui, and asked Mrs. Xie if she wanted to meet her future in-laws?

Mrs. Xie has been stuffed in the south courtyard for many days, but she really wants to meet outsiders and chat. Although she doesn't love Xie Yinghui very much, she is also her own granddaughter, so she naturally wants to know what kind of family is proposing marriage. But as soon as Mrs. Xie heard that the marriage had not been decided without her nodding, she was Xie Pu's son-in-law, and the male family was still related to the mother's family of the Song family in the second room, so she didn't want to see anyone immediately.

She was also secretly angry, thinking that this was her son Xie Pu who was too biased towards the Song family, why did she marry her eldest daughter to the younger generation of the Song family? ! Even if Xie Yinghui and the Cao family have turned against each other, they are also the granddaughters of the Cao family, and they can show off when they say it! That's the daughter of the queen's niece! Fertilizer water naturally has to be left for your own family, why is it cheaper for outsiders?!

However, when Mrs. Xie remembered her mother's family, not only was she not close to her, but she also had few offspring who could handle it, and she didn't seem to have anything to mention, so she suddenly sulked again and didn't want to say anything.
