Chapter 497 - The Only Request
Although he had already known the situation in her family, Wu still felt quite awkward at this moment.
Since ancient times, it has been the elders who have come forward to discuss marriages, how can any child be in charge here, but she can't pick anything else, there is really no one in her family.
This girl looks quite capable, she doesn't blush or be shy when she talks about her life's events, she is gentle and generous, and she is indeed a very good girl.
Wu took her hand and patted it, "Okay, since you are willing, let's go find someone to see the day, you are the first marriage, it stands to reason that it should be more lively, but the second child of our family is remarried, and it is not good to be too public, so it can only be done in a compromise, I hope you can understand this." ”
"Do you have any requirements for this dowry? If we can do it, our family can give it, and we can't let you be wronged. ”
Xiurong shook his head, "It doesn't matter if the dowry is or not, I only have one request, after I get married, you can allow me to come back every year to go to my father's grave, and come back to clean the house once in two months, my father has lived here all his life, he is used to this place, he loves to be clean before his death, I am afraid that he will be unhappy if the house is dirty." ”
Wu was very moved, and quickly nodded, "Okay, of course it's all good, we know that you are filial, this requirement is nothing, come back when you should come back, although there is no one in my mother's house anymore, but this is a thought, I can understand." ”
Xiurong laughed, "That's good, I'm afraid that you won't agree to this, I only have this request, there is no one on the side, it doesn't matter how much the dowry is, there is no one left or right in my mother's family, and I will bring back as a dowry as many things as I give me." ”
Wu patted her hand again, "Okay, I know everything, just do it according to your wishes, and when we are optimistic about the day, let the matchmaker tell you, you can prepare well at home, and if you need anything, you can also ask the matchmaker to bring us a message, since it has been decided, it is a family, don't be so polite." ”
Xiurong didn't refuse, and nodded, "I know, thank you, aunt." ”
They sat here for a long time, and Lin Changyuan came to pick them up, and then they left the Zhu family.
Xiurong stood alone in the courtyard, thinking about the happy days she had with her father and mother before, and shook her head, all this was over.
"Daddy, I chose my husband's family for myself, I don't know what kind of life will be in the future, resigned to fate, you are no longer there, I don't have a big deal with anyone, I see that they get along very well, I just hope that the marriage can be safe and smooth, Daddy, please bless your daughter."
Back at home, Wu said to Liu, "That girl is really good, I think she chose our family, didn't she see that our family is better, and she can come up with more dowry, and after discussing it today, I know that I am really careful." ”
Liu smiled, "I also think it's good, we are lucky, we met such a good girl, mother, I think the dowry should be prepared thicker, although it was brought to our house in the end, but the dowry is also the face of the girl's family, and the people in her village also look at it." ”
"Although she has no one in her own house, but people see it, if there is less things, our own family knows that they don't care about these, but people don't know what to say, only say that she married and suffered, which is not good, if her father and mother know about it, I am afraid that I will have to worry about my girl."
Wu said, "That's what I mean, let's get together in the evening and discuss it." ”
When it was time for dinner, Wu told what he had seen and heard when he went to Zhu's house today, Lin Dezheng was very satisfied, and said with a smile, "It's good, Second Brother Gu can watch the days, I will go to him tomorrow and try to pick someone over before the year." ”
Wu said, "After looking at the day, you have to prepare for the marriage, find a good day to get hired, prepare the dowry thicker, and come out of the public school, what do you say?" ”
For a period of time, the family collected the money they earned, but now it has begun to be handed over to the public middle school again, and the money is managed by the Wu family, so such a major matter has to be discussed with the family.
Lin Changfu and Lin Changyuan had no opinions, so the Wu family made the decision and initially gave a list, which was very generous.
Twenty taels of silver alone were given, and there were other things, which was already very good in terms of remarriage, and it was not good to prepare too much, so the Lin family was afraid that they would have to attract gossip again.
The next day, Lin Dezheng went to Gu Pingzhang to count the days, and he saw a good day, on the second day of the lunar month, it was too late to start preparing now, and it was almost time to finish a few etiquettes.
Lin Changgui has been thinking in his heart, although he has not seen anyone, but he also believes that person is his future wife, I only hope that God will bless, not like the Du family, the second half of his life is better than anything else.
In the past few years, he has also saved more than 20 taels of silver with his own hands, and the money is reserved for Zilong Zijie to marry his daughter-in-law, but now the silver has begun to be handed over to the public middle school again, and the children's relatives will also be paid by the public in the future, so he doesn't have to think too much.
He thought that the girl was pitiful, her father and mother were gone, and he didn't know if there was any money left at home, so let her handle the marriage by herself, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to do it, and there were no relatives at home to help, what should I do?
So he took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the Wu family, and asked the Wu family to come forward and give it to Xiurong, and asked her to buy a few new clothes for herself, don't be wronged.
The Wu family did it according to Lin Changgui's wishes, Xiurong's heart was warm after she got the money, she hadn't seen anyone yet, and she hadn't been hired yet, the other party was willing to give her ten taels of silver, so she wasn't afraid that she would run away with the silver?
She smiled and pinched the silver in her hand, Wu said with a smile, "Although my second son is a little disabled, he works quickly and dexterously, and there is no better job in the family than him. ”
Xiurong nodded and took out his handkerchief from his arms, which was an old but clean one.
"I haven't started making his needlework yet, but my aunt brought it to him, and that's what I wanted."
Wu also understood what she meant, the two of them hadn't met yet, and sending things to each other was considered a heart-to-heart relationship, and they had identified each other.
Although this is just an ordinary handkerchief, she also saw the affection from it, and took it back to the second child, and the second child will be happy.
She smiled, "Okay, I'll take it for him first." ”
