Chapter 220: Giving a dowry gift

Feng Lao Er was dumbfounded when he heard it, why did the two daughters still fall in love with the same?

However, he just stayed for a while, and then said: "The person who proposed today said very clearly, people are full of love, and all the conditions we put forward have been agreed." We can't be confused about this, and we can't just care about Yuanyuan's preferences. ”

Manniang sighed again: "How can I not know? But the problem is that Yuanyuan is one year older than Manman, and now that Manman's marriage is decided, Yuanyuan has not yet come to the door to ask for marriage, once Manman is married, Yuanyuan's marriage is only afraid that it will be more difficult. ”

This is also a fact, otherwise when people say kiss, they will not always take care of an orderly rule.

"Then hurry up and show Yuan Yuanxiang, this young man in the capital, can you still find a suitable one?"

Speaking of this, Manniang is even more worried.

She has a good temperament, but Feng Yuanyuan is very stubborn, but she is afraid that if she can't do what she wants, this matter will be endless.

Feng Lao Er didn't care so much, Fang Jiahe was a rare young man, not to mention working hard, and there was an aunt of an official's wife, who was always better than ordinary people.

Moreover, Fang Jiahe is not a businessman, and the money has been paid all year round, and the children's imperial examinations will not be affected in the future.

It was originally a happy event, but it was tossed in the Feng family.

The next day, Fang Jiahe came to the door with the matchmaker and sent a three-year-old donkey to the door, and the donkey also carried two cotton cloths and some rice grain on its back.

The Feng family is a merchant and has no land, so Fang Jiahe thought that it was the most affordable to send food.

A donkey, plus cotton cloth and rice grain, adds up to more than a dozen taels of silver, which shows that this kid is full of sincerity.

However, Feng Yuanyuan was still a little unwilling, and deliberately chose to dress up and serve tea when Feng Manman was not there.

"Shopkeeper Fang, this is the tea just made by the slave family, you can taste it."

Feng Yuanyuan is not ugly, but this person's face is not as pleasing as Feng Manman, and the shrewd calculation in those eyes is really obvious.

Fang Jiahe thought that he was not a man with many eyes, so he didn't dare to provoke such a woman at all.

"Thank you, second girl."

Fang Jiahe hurriedly got up and gave a half-salute, then took two steps back, and didn't dare to sit anymore, but looked at his future mother-in-law with a puzzled expression.

Manniang didn't expect this daughter to show up, although she was angry, she had to round the front first.

"Makes you laugh. Yuanyuan, you go back first, I still have business to discuss with Shopkeeper Fang. ”

I didn't want Feng Yuanyuan to deliberately coquettishly say: "A-Niang, I'm not an outsider, what can't I hear?" ”

As he spoke, he leaned towards Fang Jiahe's side: "Shopkeeper Fang, sit down." ”

There is also a matchmaker in this house, what is the difference between this Feng Er girl's style and the girls in that building?

The matchmaker coughed heavily and hinted, "Old sister, the marriage of these two girls hasn't been settled yet, right?" The reputation of the girl's family is very important, and I see that the appearance of these two girls is not bad, and I will definitely be able to find a wishful husband in the future. ”

Manniang was so embarrassed by these words that she couldn't lift her head.

Feng Yuanyuan only felt that these words were a little unpleasant, but before he could fully react, he was glared at by her mother.

"Go back! How can you be a girl here! ”

Feng Yuanyuan was taken aback, she has been favored at home since she was a child, when has she ever seen A-Niang so serious to her?

In front of outsiders, Feng Yuanyuan still retreated first.

The matchmaker said at the right time: "Fang boy, that title just now is not right, you have to call her second aunt, you can't call the second girl anymore, you have to remember to change your words." ”

"Yes, it's still mom who is right, it's the kid who is not careful."

In this way, it can be regarded as surviving the situation.

Thirty taels of silver, Fang Jiahe also sent it, and the two exchanged Geng stickers, so the marriage was decided.

Because Feng Lao Er wanted to marry Feng Yuanyuan first, this Feng Manman's marriage was set relatively late.

Fang Jiahe was not dissatisfied, so he naturally responded.

"By the way, if you are married, how do you plan to live?"

Fang Jiahe will also speak at this time: "Don't dare to deceive your mother-in-law, my son-in-law originally wanted to rent a small yard outside, but my aunt was not at ease, saying that we are young, and we will get married in the future, and there is no elder around us to take care of it, and there are many things that are inconvenient, so we let us live in Xie Mansion, and if the lady is pregnant and gives birth in the future, she can also help take care of it." ”

The matchmaker clapped his hands and laughed: "This is a good thing!" Mrs. Xie is kind-hearted, and after Fang Xiaozi got married, she lived alone by herself, and she usually didn't want to disturb the people in the house, so she could enter and exit from the corner door, which was both comfortable and safe, how good. ”

This makes sense.

Manmanniang also felt that it was better to live in Xie Mansion than to rent a yard outside, and it could save a sum of silver, and in the future, the two of them would save enough money to buy a small yard of their own in the capital.

It's just that she is still a little worried.

"Xie Mansion is in the inner city, so it is said that this security has no choice. Are you planning to buy a house in Beijing in the future? ”

"It's natural. My uncle and aunt also wanted me to settle down in the capital, but because I was only old last year, and I hadn't bought the land yet, my uncle asked me to put it on hold first, and it would be easier to apply for a household registration in the capital after I bought the land. ”

Manmanniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, mainly because she was afraid that after her daughter got married, this kid would want to go back to her hometown, so what should I do?

The matchmaker spoke more directly: "Don't worry, old sister, there is an uncle who is an official, and this household registration in the capital is not a matter of one sentence?" ”

Manniang thought about it, that is the fifth product, moving the household registration is just a trivial matter, since people are thinking about letting the Fang family and buy land, it should be thinking about giving him a farmer, otherwise there is no land and no house, is it not possible to complete the business?

Manniang's heart was settled, and she said, "I heard that you have two younger brothers who are also in the capital?" ”

"It's cousins, what they want to do in the future, it's all up to their own will."

"After getting married, this pension matter?"

"My aunt has already written a letter to my father and mother, and I must not shirk the matter of providing for the elderly, but the distance is far away, and it is not suitable to send food, so my aunt suggests that I can give one or two times a year of silver, so that it is convenient."

In fact, Manman Niang wants to ask, how much pension money can be given this year?

The matchmaker smiled and shook the red veil: "The pension money in the countryside is not much." I heard that Fang Xiaozi's parents have bought land in the village again, and this pension money is just a part of his filial piety, so the old sister doesn't have to worry. Anyway, there is still Mrs. Xie protecting Fang Boy. ”
