Chapter 165: The Fourth Brother Gets Married
The head of the village is married, almost all of them are three taels of silver gifts, and the other bride price, when the Zhao family made a decision for the third sister, they prepared a lot, and took out half of the amount to Shiro to give it to the Xu family, which was more than enough.
In the afternoon, the two sides exchanged birthday characters, and Huang Congjiang took it to the town to find Mr.
The eight characters of the two are naturally a match made in heaven.
In the evening, the Huang family prepares the bride price, and tomorrow chooses a good day and auspicious day, and asks a good matchmaker to go to the Xu family to make a dowry.
The next day, the matchmaker came to the door, invited someone to come, and sent the bride price to Xu's house.
However, after the Xu family saw the matchmaker coming to the door and someone picked up the bride price, the Xu family was stunned, didn't they talk to the Huang family before? Don't want a bride price, everyone in the Xu family looks at these bride prices, and they are a little nervous.
It's not that the Huang family has set a lot of dowry, but it's also a lot, and there are three taels of silver, and the things prepared are very complete and decent.
"Mother, this is ......." Xu Lin pointed to these bride prices and said with some stammer.
If you go back, this will slap the Huang family in the face, and I think that I don't want to marry the Huang family.
"Alas! It's okay, when the big girl gets married in the future, let's subsidize it more. Seeing this, Xu Yushi also sighed.
"That's all there is to it." Xu Feng on the side also nodded.
The Huang family is connected to the marriage, which is a little dazzling, and there are more people who don't know that the Xu family and the Huang family have married.
After Huang Congjiang dealt with the relatives of Shilang and the eldest girl of the Xu family, the two brothers Huang Congjiang took the fourth brother and the seventh brother and walked to the Zhao family.
Zhao's Hall.
"Old lady, see you at the Huang family." The little guy of the Zhao family walked into the hall quickly, and when he saw that the three members of the Zhao family were all in the hall, the little guy hurriedly said.
The Zhao family and the Huang family have already married, and have made a bride price, as long as they are old, they can marry the Huang family's girl, and the servants and servants of the Zhao family know it.
Therefore, after the porter welcomed the Huang family in, he also called a small servant to go to the inner courtyard to inform the lord and wife.
"Quick, Changsheng, let's go and greet you." When Mr. Zhao heard this, he hurriedly beckoned Zhao Mao and Zhao Changsheng to go out.
"It's the in-laws and brothers, please come in quickly." Before Mr. Zhao left the hall, he saw the Huang brothers carrying gifts and bringing two children to the door, Mr. Zhao arched his hand to the two Huang Congjiang brothers, stretched out his hand, and beckoned the Huang Congjiang brothers to come in first.
"My mother-in-law is polite." Huang Congjiang also arched his hand towards Mr. Zhao and saluted back.
"Changsheng, you don't call your father-in-law and uncle yet." Zhao Mao's mouth on the side smiled and shouted at Zhao Changsheng.
Now that the two families have been married, the bride price documents have been exchanged, and they are just about to get married.
"Father-in-law, uncle. Fourth brother, seventh brother. Zhao Changsheng shouted with a slightly red face.
His eyes were shining, and he was smiling, but his heart was very happy.
"I took the liberty to visit today, and it was abrupt." Zhao Xiucai welcomed the Huang Congjiang brothers in, and after the host and the guest sat down, Huang Congjiang bowed his hand to Zhao Xiucai and apologized.
"In-laws, the relationship between our two families is not an ordinary family, but a family of in-laws, and they should move around, otherwise, this is no different from ordinary people." Zhao Xiucai smiled and waved his hand at Huang Congjiang.
"Our two families have just been married for less than two days, and I took the liberty to visit today, and I really have something to ask for, and I am quite ashamed." Huang Congjiang was really embarrassed and abrupt, and he said to Zhao Xiucai stubbornly.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse." Zhao Xiucai looked at Shiro and Qilang, who were standing behind the two Huang Congjiang brothers, and said.
"Xiao'er and his nephew have reached the age of enlightenment, and after this military service, they only know the future of scholars, so I plan to send Xiao'er and my nephew to the academy to study.
It's just that my family is from a clay leg, and I don't know anything about studying in the academy, so I ask my in-laws for advice. Huang Congjiang thought about it and said.
"There are two academies in the town, one Qinghong Academy, one Cypress Academy, and the two academies have their own merits, but I prefer Qinghong Academy, Qinghong Academy is bound to seven taels of silver a year, and the course includes poetry and book etiquette.
There is also a daily practice of writing large characters class, and also provide paper, ink, pen and inkstone, Qinghong Academy has three gentlemen, two of them have a friendship, if the in-laws want to send Shiro and Shichiro two to study in the academy, then I go to Qinghong Academy to walk around, ask them to take care of one or two.
If Shiro and Shichiro are successful in their studies, they can go to Fangshan Academy in the county, and then I can teach them in person, I don't know what my in-laws want? Zhao Xiucai brushed his back and said.
"Well, then I'll leave this matter to my in-laws."
"In-laws, now Shiro and Qilang's two children have not yet been enlightened, and now it is still early before the academy starts, and my parents and students are also bored at home, so it's better to do this, starting tomorrow, let Changsheng enlighten Shiro and Qilang's two children, learn to learn a thousand words, know Braille, and explain the meaning, which can better help Shiro and Shichiro integrate into the school." Zhao Mao, who was sitting on the side, spoke up at this time.
"It's ......." Huang Congjiang hesitated a little.
"Madame's proposal is very good, I think it was decided." Zhao Xiucai also nodded in agreement.
"In that case, it's a hassle to nag." Huang Congjiang also felt that Shiro and Qilang's two children were brought with them, and learning something in advance would be more beneficial for them to enter the school in the future, Huang Congjiang only hesitated for a while, and then nodded and agreed.
After that, Huang Congjiang said something at Zhao's house for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
The Zhao family also wanted to keep Huang Congjiang and a few of them eating at home, but Huang Congjiang refused.
"I didn't expect that the Huang family was quite far-sighted and courageous, and they sent the two children in their family to study in the academy at once, and it cost a lot of money this year?" After Zhao Xiucai waited for the Huang family to leave, he also admired Huang Congjiang's courage and said.
Qingshan Village is a wealthy village, and at the end of the year, it can earn more than a dozen taels of silver, and there are many families who have saved it.
However, as for those who send their children to study in the academy, there are not a few families, and among the more than 100 families, only seven or eight families have sent their children to study in the academy.
The first is that the children can't read, it costs money, and they are reluctant to pay, and the second is that there are many children and brothers in the family, so they send this and that they don't send it, and the adults in the family will have contradictions.
Zhao Xiucai has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he feels a pity in his heart
The Huang family was able to send two children to study in the academy at once, which shows that the Huang family has made a lot of determination to study in it.
