Chapter 7: A Kai's Engagement

This year is the year 983 of the Taikang calendar, and time flies relatively slowly, especially for Yang Akai.

He is finally going to have a wife, like a man his age.

This year, he has become more popular and harder, working for such good news and for this can make time go faster.

His sister-in-law also went to inquire about Zhan eldest sister's personal situation, her family situation, although she is poorer, since she is a good person, that is the most important thing.

During this year, both parties knew the situation of both parties, and the matchmaker also moved around frequently, which was basically recognized by the families of both men and women.

The Yang family also once thought about marrying a woman from the south, and the surveillance of Naiyang Dachangguo is still very strict, and occasional contact is okay, if you openly want to get in touch with the south, or even get married, it is very likely to be secretly attacked.

Now in Dachang Kingdom, for the sake of Ah Kai, he always has to get married, and if he delays it any longer, he will be older.

At the end of the year, every family began to prepare for the New Year, and both parties invited Granny Li to come over for dinner.

Granny Li was busy eating, and she didn't stop talking.

The preparation is to pass the Qingming and give some details.

There was a light rain in the sky, cool and silky, dripping on the hands, very comfortable.

In the past few days, the gift money that the Yang family has been preparing and gold jewelry are all prepared one by one in accordance with local customs and under the advice of Granny Li.

The time for the engagement and the dowry is also set, which is on the eighth day of the fifth month.

Time passes day by day, sun rises and sunset.

Today is a good day, it is the auspicious day of the engagement calculated by the husband, the eighth day of the fifth month.

Yang Akai wore a new dress, he looked very energetic, he was really in good spirits on happy occasions, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The daughter-in-law of the eldest and second also came over to help.

Granny Li also watched together, whether it was okay or not.

Jia's family will accompany Yang Akai to the Zhan family to propose a dowry today, and the sister-in-law of the two rooms is preparing at home, and the neighbors are also invited to come over for dinner at noon.

"Old sister-in-law, I see that the time is almost up, let's get ready to go. Granny Li said.

"Let me count again. Jia Shi looked at the two loads of dowry and counted them the same again. There are also gift money and gold jewelry boxes.

"Count, let's go, the eldest and the second pick a burden each, and the two daughters-in-law prepare the food at home. Jia Shi instructed, "At noon, Ah Kai and Granny Li have a banquet at Zhan's house, and we all come back to eat at home, don't forget." ”

"Don't worry, mother. The daughter-in-law replied.

A group of five people began to walk in the direction of Zhan's house.

Along the way, everyone saw a "congratulations".

Yang Akai just smiled happily.

The Zhan family is also preparing for the noon banquet, and the woman's family also invited relatives and friends to come over to eat Zhan's eldest sister's engagement wine at home today.

Lan Mei also took her younger brother Xiao Hong to watch at the intersection, and when they saw the Yang family from a distance, they asked Xiao Hong to go back to report the news.

Zhan always took his relatives to watch at the door, and his eyes kept looking in the direction the Yang family came from. I was also slightly excited and a little nervous, after all, this was the first time that my child was going to get engaged.

"It's coming, it's coming. Someone said.

"Sister Lan, help your sister prepare tea and snacks. He commanded his children.

"Know, we're all set. Just wait for people to fall, don't worry. Lan Mei replied.

As soon as the Yang family arrived at the door, both sides were smiling, and Zhan always invited the Yang family to sit in.

Yang Ayi and Yang Ayi put their burdens in the house and also talked to the relatives on the Zhan family's side.

It's just that Yang Ah is still standing there after opening the door, just laughing, laughing when he sees people, and laughing when he sees the door. Keep looking into the house to see where Sister Zhan is.

The people on the side looked at Ah Kai and smiled, knowing what he was looking at.

"Lao Zhan, why hasn't your eldest sister come out yet, your aunt has been here for a while, and you haven't called me yet. A Chao Zhan on the side said forever.

Without waiting for Zhan to say forever, He called first, "Big sister, Lan Mei, isn't the tea and snacks okay yet?"

"Alright. "Two voices came from the listening room.

Then, the two girls came out, and the eldest sister walked in front, and when she saw Yang Akai, her face was also shy.

The eldest sister smiled at Yang Ah and handed over a cup of tea, "Please drink tea." ”

"Thank you. Yang Akai hurriedly replied.

The eldest sister led the second sister to the Yang family, and the others who came also sent tea one by one.

"You guys also broke the bill this time, and you picked up two burdens, which is too polite. Zhang Yongyong said to Jia.

"It should be, it should be. Marrying a good daughter-in-law is worth it. Jia said.

"It's also hard work for Granny Li this time, running on both sides. Jia Shi said to Granny Li.

"It is my best wish to have a good marriage, and today is a good start, in fact, I am happier than you. Granny Li said with a smile.

"When I first looked at my eldest sister, Ah Kai, I felt that it was a good match, just a good marriage. I said this on both sides, oops, there is no suitable one, I said to myself that day, if such a good marriage can't be done, I won't be a matchmaker. Granny Li said

"Look, now, the eldest sister looks at Ah Kai, and Ah Kai looks at the eldest sister, how happy. ”

Hearing Granny Li say this, everyone looked at one of the two protagonists here, and they were really full of joy on their faces. It's happiness that can be seen with the eyes.

Everyone watched, and the two of them also looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone was eating snacks, drinking happy tea, and talking like this all the time.

After a while, Jia stood up, "In-laws, I will go back with my two eldest sons first, and there are many relatives in the family who are waiting for us to go back and talk about this happy event." ”

"Don't eat some snacks before you go. Jen said forever.

"No, Ah Kai stays and comes back after eating at noon. Jia Shi left first with his two sons.

Zhan Yongyong and his daughter-in-law Yang sent Jia to the entrance of the village before turning back.

Yang Akai just sat like this, someone asked, he answered, no one asked, just look and smile.

Sister Zhan is also sensible, and she was afraid that Ah Kai would be embarrassed, so she asked Ah Kai to help open and sort out the things of the bride price. Two people, one commands, the other does.

Not idle, but more harmonious. Sometimes the two of them were still talking about something, and when they were done, they both laughed.

At noon, Yang Akai ate with everyone and drank some wine. Because he was happy, everyone said to drink, and he drank with him.

Drunk, Zhan Yong and his son helped Ah Kai to sleep.

After waking up, the eldest sister brought a bowl of sobering tea to Ah Kai to drink.

After a while, I told the Zhan family, and I reluctantly went home.
