Chapter 204: Marriage
Not to mention that in the Chengenhou Mansion, some people are worried about causing chaos to Jiang Zhixia. Let's just say that Chu Mufeng and Lin Qiushui have met and chatted frequently, but it has only been more than ten days.
As a result, Chu Mufeng was on this day, and Ai Ai talked to Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia that he wanted to ask to marry Lin Qiushui.
Because Chu Mufeng is a loner in the true sense. Therefore, the marriage can only be mentioned to his eldest brother, who is also a brother and friend, and ask for advice.
Chu Tiankuo groaned for a while, then took Chu Mufeng to the study and talked alone for a long time.
After sending Chu Mufeng away, Chu Tiankuo returned to the backyard and asked Jiang Zhixia to help manage Chu Mufeng's marriage.
"That's it? They haven't been together for half a month. Jiang Zhixia was directly dumbfounded when he heard that he really wanted to help with the marriage.
"They've known each other for a long time. After all, we've been together for almost half a month. There are many newlyweds who only meet on their wedding night. Chu Tiankuo said unhurriedly.
Jiang Zhixia heard Chu Tiankuo's same argument as Lin Qiushui before, and he was only dumbfounded.
She suddenly remembered a matter that Chu Tiankuo had said about Chu Mufeng a long time ago, so she hurriedly asked.
"When it comes to marriage, I think of one thing. You said back then that Second Brother Chu was seen by a woman... I've seen it... β
Chu Tiankuo suddenly understood, and asked with a smile: "There is such a thing. And then what? β
"And then. He has been watched, and he must not be responsible for the woman? Eighteen is not a small age. β
Jiang Zhixia said a little angrily.
Although she does not agree with these customs and rules today, rules are rules. The woman looks at the man's body, and if the man is not responsible, it will be a trouble for the woman.
"Hahaha." Chu Tiankuo laughed when he heard Jiang Zhixia's words.
Jiang Zhixia glared at him with some annoyance.
Chu Tiankuo saw that Jiang Zhixia was really annoyed, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Mu Feng is naturally not the kind of person who doesn't understand the rules. In fact, the person who looked at him was his cousin. How can that be responsible? β
When Jiang Zhixia heard this, he was speechless and choked, and he only stared.
Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo hurriedly explained clearly.
It turned out that it was Chu Mufeng who took Chu Tiankuo back to his hometown to visit his relatives. Because the weather was too hot, when he was bathing in the river, he was seen by his cousin, who was more than ten years older than him, who came to the river to wash clothes.
The cousin naturally gave him a good lecture, but he was so old that he didn't care.
After listening to this, Jiang Zhixia was silent for a while before changing the topic and asking, "Have you talked to Second Brother Chu?" Have you told him about Qiushui's family situation? Will he be able to accept Qiushui's family? Qiushui's maiden family is a burden. He has to think about it, don't get married, and then have a dislike for Qiushui. Anyway, Qiushui is your aunt and cousin. β
Although Jiang Zhixia was trying to change the topic, after finishing speaking, he was really worried.
Now, when the two of them are in love, they naturally don't think about some practical issues.
However, after getting married, you have to think about it.
She knows Lin Qiushui's mother's family.
Because Lin Qiushui's mother is the youngest daughter of the Mu family, from the parents of the Mu family, to the brothers and the sister of Mrs. Chengenhou, they all love this sister more. Therefore, she also developed her simple personality.
It is also because of her temperament that the Mu family's parents chose an ordinary scholar who was admitted to the Jinshi and married him.
It is because of this that she was bullied, did not know how to relieve it, and ended up depressed.
And Lin Qiushui's father has been counting on her to hold the Chengenhou Mansion.
Now, Lin Qiushui wants to marry outside the house, and it is estimated that her father will not be able to agree easily.
Even if you can barely get married, it is estimated that you will have to be a moth after marriage.
"What's the big deal?" Chu Tiankuo said disapprerovingly, "Let's not talk about it, now that a woman is married, she is a member of her husband's family." Let's just say that Mu Feng is now a captain of the sixth grade, and he is also a military attachΓ©. And Lin Qiushui's father is now just a petty official who is not in the middle of the stream. What are you afraid of him? β
"However, if after marriage, Father Lin always comes to Second Brother Chu to get money or ask him to help with things, it will also be a trouble. In that family, after all, there are still those younger brothers and sisters in Qiushui, and Father Lin naturally wants to plan for them. Jiang Zhixia said with some concern.
I'm afraid that after marriage, Father Lin will always come to find him, and when the second brother Chu is annoyed, it will not be a good thing for Qiushui.
Although they are Lin Qiushui's mother's family, but between husband and wife, if they don't beat or scold, they are always cold and violent, and other people can't always participate in it.
"It's simple. Let Mu Feng pay more rewry, which can be regarded as a buyout relationship. For ordinary trivial things, Lin Qiushui is willing to help. If it's a big deal, let Mu Feng refuse. I don't have to get along with their Lin family every day. β
Chu Tiankuo still didn't think so.
Jiang Zhixia gradually understood.
I think too much about it again. Always bring this life into the past life.
Marrying in this life is not the same as in the past. If the woman marries the man, she has her husband's surname and belongs to the man's family.
The husband's family paid a large amount of dowry, which is equivalent to pension money for the woman's parents.
In the future, the idle woman's family cannot take money from her husband's family----- of course, the woman's willingness to give it secretly is an exception.
"That'll do. I'll help Second Brother Chu handle it here. However, what happened to Qiushui? If she comes directly to the door to propose, I'm afraid that her father will beat the matchmaker out. β
Jiang Zhixia figured it out, so he wanted to help Chu Mufeng find the matchmaker to say goodbye.
But when she thought of what Lin Qiushui said about her family's situation, she stopped again.
"That's right." Chu Tiankuo also thought of this question, pondered for a while, and then said: "Don't look for a matchmaker first, I'll let my subordinates inquire about the situation." β
Let's say that Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia are discussing sending someone to check on the situation of the Lin family.
It is said that Lin Qiushui returned to the Chengenhou Mansion shyly and timidly, and saw Mrs. Chengenhou who stood up from the chair in her room.
Her steps paused, and she didn't know how to speak.
Although her cousin and sister-in-law let her in the door, she only had to talk about recognizing her as soon as she opened her mouth. The cousin had a frosty face, and the cousin was embarrassed.
She also knew that it must have been her aunt who broke their hearts when she said about the concubine. She stood in the position of her cousin-in-law, so naturally it was not good to say much.
However, every time she came back, she saw her aunt's hopeful expression, and she was helpless. Waiting for her to finish, looking at her aunt's disappointed expression, she was also depressed.
When Mrs. Chengenhou saw Lin Qiushui's paused footsteps and embarrassed expression, she understood that Chu Tiankuo was definitely still unwilling to admit it.
She sat back in her chair in disappointment and said with a wry smile, "Do they still refuse to recognize us?" β
Lin Qiushui chattered, not knowing what to say.
Mrs. Chengenhou sat down in her chair for a while.
After so many days, she has understood how tough her son is.
