In the evening, the sky was overcast, and it seemed that there would be rain tomorrow, and the stars in the sky would not be visible, and there would be no moon, and the three sisters were whispering in the house to discuss what gift to prepare for the eldest brother.

"Hmph, we took another job in the town, don't hand it over to my mother, no silver, how can we prepare a gift, although we are a sister, but my sister-in-law wants to give us a meeting gift, we also have to prepare, we won't pay it next month,"

"Well, I'll prepare a silver drill for my sister-in-law, what about you?" The clouds spoke first

"Then I'll just have a pair of earrings, Nizi, you embroider the best, can't you be too poorly prepared?"

"Then I'll have a little more, a pair of silver bracelets, but you are not allowed to pick your eyes, don't say that I give too much, you have no face"

"Cut, we won't, think like you, always compete for favor in front of your mother,"

"I'm competing for favor and coquettishness, it's not that you follow the light, which time you buy food, you eat less"

"Hey, hey, haha" The three sisters scratch me on the kang together, I scratch you, laughter fills the house, early in the morning, sure enough, there is a drizzle outside, even so, the three of Jiang's fathers, rain or shine, bring umbrellas, drive the carriage, and go straight to the town.

The agreement is to meet in a teahouse, and when I got there, the teahouse had just opened, and the three of them ordered a pot of green tea as soon as they entered, and the day in June, although it was not damp, but the morning was not cool, especially on a rainy day, it was hot and sultry, and the three of them drank a pot in one go, ordered a pot, and ordered four plates of snacks, and put on a show.

The matchmaker should be coming soon, the girl and their family also booked this point, look at the time is almost up, Yun Hai is nervous head is sweating, Jiang Yuheng and Li, it is also the first time to see their daughter-in-law, they are also a little nervous.

It was set so early, because there were few people at this time, no one was gossiping, and after drinking tea to quench his thirst, he looked at the door without answering, and the door curtain was raised, and the matchmaker put away the umbrella, glanced at the teahouse, and saw the three members of the Jiang family, and immediately piled up with smiling faces.

"Oh, you're so punctual,"

The three of them all stood up and hurriedly let the matchmaker to the table, and Li poured her a cup of tea, "You are tired, please sit down, drink tea to quench your thirst" The matchmaker glanced at the plates on the table, thinking that this family is not stingy, and knows how to order a few snacks

"Don't be thirsty, don't be thirsty, let's talk first, the girl and her family, it should be there in a while, if you fall in love, let's sit together and discuss the things that will happen next, I see, I must be eight or nine not far from ten, my brother Hai looks good, that girl and your family are just a match"

As he was talking, the door curtain was lifted again, and at the gate, three people came in at once, two old men and a man and a woman in front, followed by a girl, shyly bowing her head, no need to think about it, you can know at a glance that this should be the family that looks at each other.

Dressed similarly to Jiang Yuheng's family, it seems that they are really the right person, when they went to the village to see each other, their house was also a brick house, and the matchmaker saw it, hurriedly walked over, and pulled them to sit on this table.

"Sit, sit, even if it's all here, let's take a look, this marriage event, it's not just a good thing to look closely, people do business and don't buy and sell not benevolence and righteousness, life is a lifetime, sit down, let's talk slowly, it's not a big family, we don't have many rules"

Yunhai and the girl both lowered their heads, their faces were red, and the matchmaker had been on this occasion for a long time, and was busy introducing, "This family is from Xiaojiang Village, don't look at Xiaojiangcun's reputation before, but this family has never done that, although you can rest assured in terms of character, the conditions at home are the same as your family, let's not talk about anything else, look at each other first"

"Yes, yes, we don't point to the conditions of their family, our family values people" The girl's parents seem to be honest people, but they also know by looking at their eyes that people are very shrewd, otherwise they would not be able to build a brick house.

Yun Hai had studied in the school, although he was shy, he still stood up, took the teapot, poured tea for the three people opposite, and then sat and listened obediently.

The two looked at each other occasionally, even if it was looking at each other, the girl's father looked very satisfied with the sea of clouds from his eyes, they looked at the girl, there was a solicited opinion in their eyes, and the girl nodded gently at her parents silently.

Then the girl's parents nodded to the matchmaker, and the matchmaker was even happier, "Even if both sides have no opinion, let's talk about pre-deciding this relationship, oops, for the sake of the two of you, my old arms and legs are thin."

Li is not stage frightened, "What about our family, three sons, three daughters, this is the boss, called Jiang Yunhai, our plans for the children in the family are impartial, our family is different from other families, Yunhai is the boss, after marrying a wife, when we have children, we will divide them,"

Hearing this, the other side was a little confused, looking at it puzzled, and Li Shi explained with a smile

"Our family, there are three shops in the county, three brothers, one for one person, after getting married, we have children, we also help to take them, and when the children are older, we will buy them a pile base in the village, build a house, and then buy 20 acres of land, and then divide some silver to divide out, the three brothers are like this,"

"But he can't fight with his younger brothers and sisters, because what he has in the family, he will be close to him first, and then save some money, it will be the younger brothers, everyone is the same, a family shop, a house, twenty acres of land, our family's current land property, keep it for us to provide for the elderly, no division"

"When we are old and can't move, just the three families take turns to support us, our pension land, three families planted together, when the time comes, the three families will divide the food equally, and the three girls will marry in the future, and we will be the elderly, and we don't need a penny from her brothers,"

"If they are good to their sister, they will give some, and they will not give us anything or anything, you see?"

"It's the first time we've heard of such a separation, he's the eldest brother, and he has to wait for the younger brothers to start a family before they can be separated," the girl's father said

"I won't tell you, there are many people and many things, we have all experienced a big family, we are old, we want to live a quiet life, and we don't want to take the old road of the old man."

"I thought that your family would suffer some losses, but I didn't expect you to treat everyone equally, then we don't have anything to say, our family is very satisfied with your arrangement, then book a date, go to the house to propose, the dowry is done by your family, my family has no requirements, so that my daughter can get by with a good face"

In this way, Yunhai's marriage was booked in a teahouse, and on the eighth day of July next month, he went to the girl's house to propose marriage, and the matchmaker took him with him, and the marriage was completed, and the Li family settled the tea money, and after sending the girl's family to the carriage, he gave the matchmaker a thank you gift of five taels of silver, and the three of them went home happily.

This thank-you gift, which includes the two taels of silver, is the official media's fee, and the rest is for the matchmaker, this is the real thank-you gift.

When the three of them arrived home, it was not yet noon, and they saw that the little daughter had washed out the noon dishes, and there was nothing at home, and the children had not come back yet, so they took Nizi to the upper room, and the four of them sat down and talked.

"Dad, how many gifts do you think you need to prepare?"

"Our family is not short of silver, thirty taels of silver, and then bring the fabrics and jewelry you bought, and bring pairs of chickens, ducks, and geese over there, you go back and buy six of them, and that's it, add up to fifty taels, and on our side, this gift is not light."
