Chapter 106: Two Family Affairs
On the last day of the Mituo River gathering, it was time for each family to propose marriage.
In order to avoid embarrassment after being rejected, several patriarchs discussed it and decided to use the "secret mark" method to ask for marriage.
That is, the young man of which family has a crush on the girl of which family, the patriarch of the man writes the conditions of his own children, attaches a list of dowries, and secretly passes it on to the girl's patriarch.
It is then up to the patriarch of the girl's family to consider and decide which family to marry.
The patriarchs of other families can basically be the family of the younger generation, and there are not many people who are as open-minded as Zhu Youdao and let the children of the family choose their own spouses according to their own wishes.
Maybe a girl will be favored by several teenagers at the same time, at this time, it depends on their respective conditions and the richness of the dowry. And because it is a secret mark, those who are rejected will not lose face, and everyone will be happy.
Zhu Youdao wrote a note to help Zhu Youli ask Hu Yanling for marriage, and attached a rich list of dowry gifts.
He also wrote a note to help Zhu Yunxing ask Bai Yuzhen for marriage, and the dowry was naturally the same.
After passing the note, he waited patiently.
Originally, a few teenagers fell in love with Zhu Youhui, but before that, Zhu Youhui let out that she didn't fancy anyone, so let them not bother in vain.
As for Zhu Gangyu, no one proposed marriage.
This led to Zhu Youdao not even receiving a note.
At this time, Hu Qinghe, the patriarch of the Hu family, glanced at Zhu Youdao in surprise, but he didn't expect that the two children had a fight, and the Zhu family still passed a note over.
Moreover, the list of dowry gifts of the Zhu family also made him very excited: ten bottles of elixirs used by monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation, ten first-order high-grade magic weapons, ten sets of array weapons, and ten dozen first-order high-grade spirit runes!
The total price of these dowries is close to 20,000 spirit stones!
Hu Qinghe asked himself, the Hu family is reluctant to take out so many dowries to marry the children of the family, unless the woman is Sanlinggen.
Hu Yanling is a five-spirit root, and she is not valued in the Hu family, and marrying such a family member has no loss to the family.
There are many young people who have fallen in love with Hu Yanling, and Hu Qinghe has received a lot of notes. He looked at the list of dowries from several other companies, and had a plan in his heart.
Of course, there are also women who take the initiative to hand over notes to men, and Yue Xinkuan of Hulu Valley is the most popular candidate.
He is already a foundation building monk and the patriarch of the Yue family in the future, so he is naturally very chased by the girls.
It's a pity that Yue Xinkuan didn't take a fancy to any of them, and all of them declined.
In the end, the results came out, and to everyone's surprise, the weakest Zhu family gained a lot at the blind date, and the two sons of the Zhu family and the young ladies of the Hu family and the Bai family made marriage contracts respectively.
Neither side mentioned the amount of dowry to the outside world, but only said that the children were in love and tied the knot.
The two parties agreed on the follow-up of the marriage, and said goodbye, the seven families went back to their respective homes, and the Mituohe Xiuzhen family gathering ended successfully.
Cultivating people do not have as many false courtesies in the mortal world, as long as the two families discuss it, it will be considered when the dowry is brought to welcome the woman home.
Zhu Youdao returned home, discussed with his grandfather and father, and sent Zhu Yunxing and Zhu Youli to bring a batch of scattered materials to Daluofang City to sell, making a look of selling assets to make up the dowry.
This is for fear that the Hu and Bai families will leak the details of the Zhu family's dowry and cause other people's reverie, after all, if the Zhu family can casually take out a dowry worth 40,000 spirit stones, the family background is too rich, which is not in line with the low-key style of the Zhu family.
Even so, the Zhu family still planned to marry the young ladies of the two families at intervals.
Although Zhu Youli is younger than Zhu Yunxing, he is a generation older than Zhu Yunxing, and the Zhu family decided to marry him to Miss Hu first.
After being busy for half a year, the Zhu family finally "gathered" the dowry and married Hu Yanling back with great fanfare.
Zhujiazhuang was full of lights, a big family, regardless of immortals, and it took several days to end the wedding.
In recent years, the population of the Zhu family has grown rapidly, and Zhu Youdao has invited skilled craftsmen from the mortal world, which has expanded the scale of Zhujiazhuang several times, and there are many more idle gardens.
After Zhu Youli got married, he divided a garden for their little couple to live in, and they were newly married Yan'er, but they didn't show up for a few days, Zhu Youdao was afraid that they didn't know moderation and affected their cultivation, so they sent someone to warn them.
After Hu Yanling arrived at Zhu's house, she was very peaceful at first, but only a month later, she made a fuss.
On this day, Zhu Youdao was cultivating and refining Kievdan, and a teenager came in to report: "Big brother, the sister-in-law of the third brother's family is making trouble in the front yard, and even grandpa and uncle are alarmed!"
This young man's name is Zhu Youzhi, he is only twelve years old this year, and he is the fourth oldest in the generation of characters, and he has five spiritual roots in his body.
Zhu Yunxing was sent out by him to do things, and now the Zhu family has a large backlog of magic weapons, array weapons, and spirit runes, and there is a shortage of spirit stones, so Zhu Youdao sent him to sell them in various markets.
After Yunxing left, Zhu Youdao lacked a right-hand man, and it happened that there were a few new little monks in the family, and Zhu Youdao chose the smart and clever Zhu Youzhi to teach by his side.
The person Zhu Youzhi said was making trouble was Hu Yanling, who had just passed through the door more than a month ago.
Zhu Youdao asked, "What's the matter with her?"
"She said that Yun Niang's sister-in-law acted unfairly, and the Zhu family treated her inappropriately, so she made a fuss in the front yard!"
Zhu Youdao frowned, walked out of the cultivation room, and came directly to the front yard.
I saw that the big and small monks of the Zhu family, except for Xie Xiaohong, had already arrived.
Hu Yanling was complaining to Zhu Yuanchang: "Grandpa, they are all your grandsons and daughters-in-law, you can't be so partial." Li Yunniang took control of the whole family's elixir, what's wrong with how many bottles I want to take? She just shirked in every possible way, she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, isn't I......"
Seeing Zhu Youdao coming in, Hu Yanling said again: "Patriarch, you came just in time, what your daughter-in-law has done, I want you to judge it!"
Zhu Youdao didn't speak, and saluted his grandfather and father first.
The old man said: "There is a way, you are the patriarch, whatever you do!"
Zhu Youdao nodded, turned his head sideways and asked Li Yunniang: "What's the matter!"
Li Yunniang has never liked to argue with others, so she said to Zhu Youhui, the little helper next to her: "Let Youhui speak!"
Zhu Youhui didn't have a good impression of Hu Yanling's sister-in-law, she jumped up and said, "Hu Yanling, she ......."
"Call sister-in-law!" Zhu Youdao interrupted Zhu Youhui's words sharply: "Our Zhu family has rules, filial piety to the elders, brothers and brothers, and orderliness, how can you call him by his name! Tomorrow you go to the school to copy the disciple rules ten times!"
Zhu Youhui hurriedly admitted her mistake in a low voice, and then continued: "Sister-in-law Yan Ling went to Sister-in-law Yun Niang to get the pill, all of us in the Zhu family go to get one bottle every month, Sister-in-law Yan Ling has already gone to get three bottles this month, and today I went to get it again, Sister-in-law Yun didn't give it to her, she made a fuss here!"
Hu Yanling said loudly: "Did the rules of the Zhu family say that you can't receive more? I've been married to the Zhu family for so long, why hasn't anyone told me that they don't treat me as a family?"
Everyone was speechless about this, the family has never restricted everyone's pills for the sake of their children's cultivation, and if they need it, they will go to Li Yunniang to ask for it. And for the sake of the family, the family members just have enough pills, and they never receive more, but they didn't expect Hu Yanling to make such a fuss when they arrived at the Zhu family.
Zhu Youhui was angry, and argued with her: "There is no regulation on how much you need to get, so many pills, you can eat enough for food, we have a bottle of pills every month, it is enough to use, what are you doing with so much?"
"Since there are no regulations, why can't I get more? She Li Yunniang is in charge of so many pills, why can't I? I marry into the Zhu family, and I also have to think about the future of the Zhu family. I also plan to use these pills on the future children and grandchildren of the Zhu family, am I wrong?"
Hu Yanling said to Zhu Yuanchang again: "Grandpa, everything in the Zhu family is in the hands of the patriarch's family, this is very unreasonable, you are polite and your grandson, but you can't manage anything at home, you can't be partial!"
Because his grandson got married, Zhu Yuanchang was very happy during this time. But being so troubled by Hu Yanling today, his good mood is all gone.
Before this, when did the people of the Zhu family have a dispute over interests? Which one of them did not think about the family?
But Hu Yanling is his granddaughter-in-law, and the old man is not easy to deal with him. He looked at Zhu Youli, but saw that the grandson was standing aside without saying a word.
The old man secretly scolded in his heart, this coward, he was ridden on the head by his daughter-in-law after only a month of marriage!
