Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents and the words of matchmaking.

There is a young lady who is like a flower and jade at home, and no matter how high the threshold of the family is, it is inevitable that it will be worn by the matchmaker's feet. After all, Yao Baoxun is an alternate in Shanghai, and he has been influenced by Western thought, and his daughter's marriage must always listen to his daughter's wishes.

After returning from Liu's house, Yao Baoxun sat in the living room and asked his daughter with a smile: Fang'er, the man should marry and the woman should marry, and now you are not young. You have also seen the Liu family's family business and Liu Gongzi's appearance. Your mother and I are very satisfied, I don't know what you think?

Yao Qinfang blushed and lowered her head and was silent.

Yao Baoxun continued with a smile: Your father is also an enlightened person, and he will not force you. But you have to have an attitude, the Liu family is still waiting for us to reply.

Yao Qinfang was asked that there was no way, and replied shyly: Just listen to your father. After saying that, he got up and went back to his boudoir.

Yao Baoxun smiled and looked at the back of his daughter entering.

......

In the past few days, Tang Yanghe and his wife happened to be in Shanghai. Friends in distress have not seen each other for a long time, and they have endless human feelings.

Liu Yong said to Tang Yanghe: This time, you will come and stay for a few days. You and I are old, and seeing each other once is a once. Then he said: Hey, the third son will be engaged to the daughter of Shanghai Alternate Dao Yao in a few days, you have to leave, and it is not too late to drink the engagement wine. I'm worried that there is no suitable matchmaker, so you're coming to the door. Hahaha.

Tang Yanghe said with a smile: Your brother Liu's children are all wealthy marriages, and they are really the right ones. If I were to be a medium, wouldn't I be roasted on the fire, and where would I do this?

Liu Yong laughed and said: Brother Tang rest assured, he will never embarrass you. The matter has been negotiated between the two sides, and you and I are willing. All you need to do is do the ritual. Rest assured, as a ready-made matchmaker, eighteen hooves are still indispensable to you.

The two burst into laughter again.

.....

On the day of the engagement, the courtyard of the Liu family was hung with lights, and a table of eight immortals was set up in the hall, lit with red candles, and the ancestors were first offered. Liu Anlu worshiped his ancestors, and then six cars, loaded with twelve gifts, under the leadership of Tang Yanghe and Anlu's brother Liu Anjiang, set off to Yaofu.

The convoy was still 100 meters away from Yaofu, and firecrackers were set off to tell each other. Immediately, the Yao family also set off firecrackers to greet them.

On both sides of the road, it was crowded with people watching the excitement.

When the convoy arrived at the gate of Yao's house, Yao Qinfang's brother Yao Zhiqiang opened the door for the groom-to-be Liu Anlu, and then brought out a basin of hot water for Liu Anlu to wash his face and wipe his hands. Liu Anlu took out a red envelope to thank him.

One by one, the recruiters carried the dowry into Yao's house and put it on the table in the hall. Mrs. Yao laughed when she saw it. Dao: The rules of the south are greater than those of our north. In particular, I saw the sparkling pearl beads. Again: It's the first time I've seen so many pearls in my life.

Yao Baoxun smiled and said to his wife: Hey, hey, hey, don't just appreciate it, and forget to serve tea to the guests.

Mrs. Yao smiled: "Thank you for reminding me.

Yao Baoxun sent red envelopes to the recruits one by one.

Mrs. Yao invited her daughters from the boudoir to offer tea to the man's guests one by one. It stands to reason that the first cup of tea was handed to the prospective groom Liu Anlu first, but Yao Qinfang handed the first cup of tea to Tang Yanghe, and the second cup to Liu Anlu's brother Liu Anjiang. The last one slowly picked up the bowl from the tea tray, smiled and slowly handed the tea bowl to Liu Anlu's hand with affection.

Liu Anlu took the tea bowl, but felt a little puzzled in his heart. Doesn't she understand the rules at all?

......

At noon, the hired personnel had dinner at Yao's house and were about to go back to Liu's house. Because, the real official engagement ceremony will be held in the Liu Mansion in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, the courtyard of the Liu family was lit up, several large tables were placed, and a big red carpet was spread from the hall to the center of the courtyard, and many relatives and friends, some friends from the business community came to congratulate. There were also many news reporters who came to join in the fun.

Liu Yong stood at the door with a smile to greet the guests.

Even Shanghai's real estate tycoon Zhou Liantang and his son Zhou Xiangyun also came.

Liu Yong smiled and waved his hands to Zhou Zilian: Boss Xie Zhou is here!

Zhou Liantang said with a smile: On the day of Linglang's big day, how can there be no reason not to come?

Liu Yong pointed at Zhou Liantang and asked: Is that your brother Linglang?

Liu Yong said with a smile: A talent should also start a family.

The two laughed.

At 4:38 a.m., the celebration officially began.

Yao Qinfang was dressed in a pale green long skirt, with pale blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined by silver threads, a row of blue sea clouds dense at the hem, and a wide pale yellow brocade wrapped around her chest on her chest. Holding his arm, he slowly walked to the center of the compound.

Between them: Jiaojiao poured into the country, slowly moving lotus. looks like a princess, and looks like a Chu girl. Like a flower to interpret words, like jade and fragrant; The national color is clear, and the orchid flavor is sweet. With a bend, it is really Jinjiang's slippery and greasy moth eyebrows, beating Wenjun and Xue Tao.

At this time, the band sounded, firecrackers rang out, and the audience responded with warm applause.

Tang Yanghe came to the center and said into the microphone: Ladies and gentlemen, I solemnly announce that today, Mr. Liu Anlu and Miss Yao Qinfang have become lotus branches, and I hope they will enter the palace of marriage as soon as possible. There was another round of applause.

At this time, Liu Anlu knelt on one knee and offered a bouquet of red roses to Yao Qinfang, who smiled and took the red roses in Liu Anlu's hand. Liu Anlu put an engagement ring on Yao Qinfang's left ring finger.

Once again, there was applause.

At this time, the flash of the reporter's camera kept flashing.

Tang Yanghe came to the center and said: The engagement ceremony is over, I hope everyone has a good meal!

At this time, a group of reporters flocked to Liu Anlu and asked: Mr. Liu, please talk about your thoughts today.

Liu Anlu smiled and said to everyone: It is a privilege for me to be engaged to Miss Yao Qinfang, who is as beautiful as a fairy.

During the wedding banquet, Liu Yong took Liu Anlu and thanked him according to the table.

They came to Zhou Liantang's table, and Zhou Liantang took the lead in standing up and congratulating. He pointed to his son Zhou Xiangyun next to him and said: In the future, you have to learn more from Brother Anlu.

Zhou Xiangyun said with a smile: In the future, please ask Brother An Lu for more advice.

Liu Anlu said with a smile: Learn from each other and communicate more.

Everyone ate and drank until the moon hung high, and then dispersed.

......

After the banquet was dismissed, Liu Anlu drove Yao Qinfang home. It was the first time they had been alone together. On the way, they had no intention of enjoying the bright lights of Shanghai at night. They all felt that no matter how good the scenery was, it was better than the two of them together. They are all silent, let the heart enjoy quietly. It was Liu Anlu who spoke first to break the deadlock. Ask: Are you happy today?

Yao Qinfang nodded slightly.

Liu Anlu asked again: Hey, let me ask you, why didn't you follow the rules when you served tea today?

Yao Qinfang smiled and said: You are still a scholar, I know what the rules you are talking about. The rules are made by people, and Lang Jun is his own person, so he should respect the guests first. Besides, the last one, yes, you can look at Lang Jun a little more.

Liu Anlu suddenly realized that Yao Qinfang was not only beautiful, but also thoughtful and knowledgeable. So he held the steering wheel with his left hand and grabbed Yao Qinfang's hand tightly with his right hand.

The next day, many newspapers in Shanghai published reports on Liu Anlu and Yao Qinfang's engagement ceremony under the title "Flowers Have a Home", and some even distributed photos of them. also dispelled the idea of some princes and grandsons to pay attention to Yao Qinfang.
