The next day, Steward Qiu called Wang Wenwu to the office,

"You're married!"

"Look at Liuquanju, are you satisfied?"

"Yesterday, my son brought back the roast duck, which was quite delicious,"

"I booked a table in Liuquanju, our two families are good, close, close, and when we leave, one roast duck per person."

"Where can you finish eating so much, and if you can't finish eating, don't you eat badly?"

"Quanjude's duck, I'll pay the money first, if you want to eat it, you can get it."

"Wenwu, it's still you thoughtful,"

"How's my marriage going?"

"Negotiated it, I invited someone to read the yellow calendar, the engagement on the tenth day of June, and the marriage on the thirteenth day of July, their family has long been looking forward to her marriage, and the bride price also agreed to four hundred silver dollars,"

"Okay, okay, okay, it's only a few days since the engagement on the tenth day of June, then you help me look at it, I'll go and play a gold bracelet weighing eight dollars, and what else do I need to prepare."

"You don't know anything, go, go, hit your gold bracelet, I'll make a list, and then you can just follow this."

"Thank you."

"Go, go!"

I found a store on the street, all of which have a good reputation.

"Man, come, come, come," "You make a pair of gold bracelets weighing eight coins, what price, how long will it take to make it." ”

"Now eight coins of gold cost fifty-eight silver dollars, and the wages depend on what you want."

"What's it, show me,"

"You see what we can do here, depending on whether you want to be frosted, smooth, or caroused,"

"I look at this glossy one, it's good, this heavy."

"This is not eight dollars, you are making a bride price, and there are few who give you a heavy gift,"

"Well, that's, when did I get it,"

"Your glossy one will take half a month, and you will first give ten oceans of money."

"Hey, half a month, I can't wait, I got engaged on the tenth in early June, do you say you can wait?"

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper first."

"Go quickly, don't influence the master to find the next one,"

"Okay, I won't delay you."

Wang Wenwu waved his hand to let the guy go quickly, and the guy stepped back and turned to leave. Wang Wenwu walked around the store and saw a hollow bracelet that was very beautiful, so he called a man,

"These two, wrap them up for me and pay for them later."

"Okay, sir!"

The guy who left earlier came running.

"Master, the bracelet you want, you can do it tomorrow,"

"Okay, I also looked at the two bracelets, how many together,"

"Okay, you have two or two silver dollars for these two bracelets, two hundred and twenty-seven silver dollars, and you will be paid one ocean, and you can first give ten oceans for the other eight yuan bracelets, and today, you will have to pay two hundred and thirty-seven silver dollars."

took out the banknotes of the Bank of Korea from the money bag and put them in the space, gave two hundred and forty yuan, and after the guy packed and found the money, he went home directly.

"Aegean, Aegean,"

"What's wrong,"

"Look what you bought!"

Wang Wenwu took out the six-dollar gold bracelet and offered her a treasure.

"Yo, this bracelet is so beautiful, is it for me!"

"Yes, it must be for you, master, reward you," "Come, master will help you bring it." ”

Xiao Nizi was very happy, and said that the master was really good, so she went to Zhao Sun's show. Although I was unhappy when I heard that Wang Wenwu was going to marry a while ago, the women of the Republic of China in this era still have a very high degree of acceptance of men marrying more. He smiled and said goodbye to Aegean, and went back to the warehouse.

"Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, are you there?"

"In, in, what's it called."

As he spoke, he pushed the door in, and Steward Qiu wrote and drew on the paper.

"You don't even knock on the door now!"

"Isn't this my dear Brother Qiu, why are you so outside?"

"You learned, dear, you just disgust me!"

"How, how did you write, okay!"

"The bride price, the bracelet you have prepared yourself, and what you want is to send some pastries such as "big eight pieces, small eight pieces", which usually have to be packaged in a snack box. Remember, don't use a pouch like the New Year's holiday, because the pouch means "ordinary two or five eyes", which is taboo in marriage and not serious. Got it! ”

"Got it."

"The old man of the Shu family is gone, her brother wants to kick her away now, you don't have to count on Miss Shu's dowry, she comes alone, you can't look down on her, you know?"

Wang Wenwu replied with a serious expression: "Wang Wenwu knows, if it weren't for the big changes in her family, I, Wang Wenwu, might not be able to ask to marry, such a good girl." ”

"If you know! I hope you do what you say. ”

"Thank you, Brother Qiu."

As the days passed, please go to Brother Qiu and the matchmaker, bring the newly beaten bracelets, eight large and eight small pastries. The big eight pieces are: 1. Flip the hair cake, 2. Big roll cake, 3. Big oil cake, 4. Butterfly roll, 5. Crisp, 6. Fat cake, 7. Champion cake, 8. 7. Seven-star Dianzi. The small eight pieces are one size smaller than the big eight pieces: 1. Fruit tart, 2. Small roll crisp, 3. Small peach crisp, 4. Small chicken fat cake, 5. Small screw crisp, 6. Salty dianzi, 7. Jujube flower, 8. Pit face. The latter four are the most popular with small children. In particular, jujube flowers are twisted into petals with jujube mud, which is very beautiful, so I bought more of the last four.

Entering the door, the whole process was negotiated between Brother Qiu and the matchmaker and the boss of the Shu family, and the second and third interjected from time to time. They also know that the last time they sold the house, they didn't have a light on their faces.

The second and third children of the Shu family were not very satisfied with the bride price, and asked Miss Shu openly like a commodity, and the two sides bargained, which was chilling, and finally Wang Wenwu still agreed, adding fifty silver dollars, but when it came to the dowry, there were only some clothes and a small amount of jewelry.

This is to sell Miss Shu, but Wang Wenwu thinks that not long after the old man died, it is not unusual for the brothers to make that scene, and it is not unusual to sell Miss Shu, probably because he is afraid of people poking his backbone, the old man sold the house and sold his sister as soon as he died, and it was still okay to return the gift that day, but it was to be returned later.

Then although the "invitation date" has already been agreed, this process still has to go, and this date should be extra cautious, not only to pick an auspicious day of the zodiac, but also to avoid the woman's menstrual period to prevent "red horses from going to bed and the family from ruined". This is from the matchmaker.

After receiving Wang Wenwu's gift, the Shu family should divide the tea and snacks and dragon and phoenix cakes into several portions, put them in a food box, and distribute them to relatives and friends such as the seven aunts and eight aunts around them, and inform them of the date of the dowry.

Now it's time to get married.

"You're going to invite those people!"

"Brother Qiu, you, I'll ask the owner if he's coming, another guy from the warehouse, a familiar shopkeeper, and a manager,"

"Plus the relatives and friends of the Shu family, you can't afford to rent a house in Zhao Siye,"

"It's better to put it in Liuquanju, it's not far away, it's convenient for everyone."

"Okay, otherwise the Shu family said that there are more than sixty tables, and you also have about ten tables, and building a wine shed is also a headache."

"I'll go to Liuquanju to set a table first, and I'll ask them to get ready." "There are still shortcomings, so please take care of Brother Qiu."

"I know, you go first."

"Alas"
