After agreeing with Mrs. Ming that she would let Zheng Dachang send Zheng Youyan to Ming's house for a few days tomorrow, Mrs. Zheng immediately shifted the topic to the pair of silver bracelets she prepared for Mingyue.

“... You also know that I have always treated Mingyue as my own granddaughter, she is married, I always have to take something good out to supplement the child. Don't be polite to me. You know me, and if I want to give anything to anyone, then I must give it. If I don't want to give, then it's useless for others to say more. ”

Mrs. Ming hesitated again and again, Mrs. Zheng changed her tricks and persuaded and persuaded again, and Mrs. Ming put the pair of silver bracelets on Mingyue's thin wrist by Mrs. Zheng.

She patted her granddaughter on the shoulder and said, "You and Jiayan should be filial to your Grandma Zheng in the future." ”

Forced to be side by side with Yu Jiayan, Mingyue first said an embarrassed "um", and then thanked Mrs. Zheng very sincerely.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and patted Mingyue's hand, and then talked and laughed with Mrs. Ming and walked out of the east wing together.

Mingyue sent the two to the door of the room, and then turned back alone.

She sat on the kang, touched the silver bracelet in her hand, and continued to think about her plan to make money.

I don't know how long it took, her sister-in-law Minghe, her brother-in-law Chen Bai, a large group of people from her maternal grandfather's Tao family, her eldest aunt and third aunt's family, her grandmother's mother's family, and the Huang family who lived next door to her house, all rushed into her yard like a bee.

Her aunt and sister-in-law were the first to go to Mingyue's room, and the two sisters gave Mingyue a set of new clothes made of muslin.

There were a lot of people from her grandfather's house, and her grandmother Tao Li gave her a pair of silver earrings, a silver ring, and a silver hairpin on behalf of the Tao family.

The Tao family is not separated, and it stands to reason that since her grandmother gave her such a valuable gift, others don't have to send it separately. But Mingyue's eldest aunt Hu and second aunt Qian gave her a pair of pillowcases and two quilts respectively.

The pillowcase and quilt are made of muslin, not to mention the fine stitches, and the pillowcase is also embroidered with auspicious patterns of happy eyebrows and dragons and phoenixes.

Mingyue thanked again and again, and her mother Tao was even more moved to tears.

Following the Tao family, her grandmother, her eldest uncle, and her third aunt's family also sent small items such as rulers, wooden basins, pillowcases, and handkerchiefs to Mingyue as congratulatory gifts.

The Huang family who lived next door to her house gave two beds of water-red coarse cloth quilts, and as Mingyue's little sisters, Huang Xiaoying also privately gave Mingyue two velvet flowers and two handkerchiefs as congratulatory gifts.

Mingyue was also very grateful.

According to the customary rules they have here, on the day of marriage, the relatives and friends of the main family can only join in the fun without giving gifts, so the Ming family has been mentally prepared from the beginning to only go in and out.

They carefully prepared good wine and food to entertain relatives and friends who came to join in the fun, and made up their minds to let everyone have a good time, but unexpectedly, the relatives and friends who were invited actually brought gifts together.

Although compared with the silver jewelry given to Mingyue by Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Tao, the other ones are ordinary things, but in a small family like them, which lacks anything, three-foot coarse cloth, a pair of wooden basins, two square handkerchiefs, a pair of pillowcases, and two quilts... These are already very high-profile gifts.

Those who are more picky and who really have no money to spare often take a few eggs and a handful of vegetables from their own to give gifts.

Compared with them, the relatives and friends of the Ming family who take the initiative to follow the ceremony on occasions when they don't have to be polite can be regarded as quite generous.

Mrs. Ming was moved, she took the copper plate to Da Lang Mingxu, and asked him to go to the town to buy two catties of pork belly and two fatty fish to come back and add vegetables to everyone.

***

At the end of the day, Zhou Lizheng, Dr. Li, and Yu Shouyi, who was Yu Jiayan's elder, were successively led into the main house of the Ming family by Erlang.

Everyone exchanged a few words of greetings, and the Ming family and the Yu family made a marriage letter and deed under the witness of Zhou Lizheng, Dr. Li and the relatives of the Ming family.

The marriage book clearly states the names, birthdays, parents, grandparents of the two parties to the marriage, that is, Yu Jiayan and Mingyue, the matchmaker (Mrs. Zheng), the witnesses (Zhou Lizheng, Dr. Li), the main marriage (Mrs. Huang), and other important information such as the time of their marriage.

With this marriage book, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan's relationship will be decided, and as long as Yu Jiayan becomes an adult, they can choose an auspicious day to get married.

As for the deed, this thing usually does not appear in parallel with the marriage letter - after all, marriage is not a transaction, but Yu Jiayan's situation is a bit special.

Yu Jiayan's parents are dead and penniless, and he needs to be raised by the Ming family before he becomes an adult, not to mention the land, house, and dowry required to marry a wife.

It is said that in his case, it is simply an inevitable outcome, but Yu Shouyi is thick-skinned, he wants the Ming family to support Yu Jiayan and help Yu Jiayan in the future, but at the same time, he does not agree to let Yu Jiayan enter the family and be a son-in-law for the Ming family.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't convince him, so she had to talk to him.

“... If you don't pick up the child from the Ming family, and you don't agree with the child's involvement, you have to let your old Yu family take advantage of it? I said the eldest nephew of the Yu family, this is just that you are not kind. ”

"Don't tell me anything about life-saving grace, your Jiayan has a life-saving grace for Mingyue, doesn't the Ming family have a life-saving grace for Jiayan? When he was only breathed away by your brother's daughter-in-law, who gave him the medicine to the doctor he hired? Who is it that eats and drinks well to help him mend his body? ”

"When the Ming family contributed money and efforts, and was frightened, your uncle's neck shrank and pretended to be fine, Jiayan jumped around, and you jumped out to be the master of Jiayan's house again. It's okay if you want to be the master, as long as you take Jiayan back to your house now! ”

"Don't tell me you're here for the praise! I think you're doing it for yourself! You don't let Jiayan get involved, aren't you just thinking that when he grows up and can work, you will take him back to your house and let him make you a cow and a horse? ”

"You don't think so? You didn't think so, why did you bite to death and not let Jiayan get into trouble? He doesn't have a lot of money, so you give him money to build a house, buy land, and marry a wife? ”

Yu Shouyi was speechless when she questioned him.

If he had money for Yu Jiayan, why would he be cheeky enough to let Yu Jiayan stay at Ming's house?

But he couldn't say the secret expectation in his heart, if he dared to say that he was counting on the Ming family to help Yu Jiayan until he got married, Mrs. Zheng would not have to spew him to death.

He was squeezed by Mrs. Zheng and had no choice, so he finally had to agree to make a deed with the Ming family, so that Yu Jiayan could send off the childless Mingcheng and Tao's pension as a son-in-law.

However, he also won the right for Yu Jiayan to inherit part of the property of the Ming family, on the condition that Yu Jiayan's second son must follow Mingyue from his mother's surname to Mingyue's surname.
