Man Bao stood at the same place with the fifth and sixth brothers, looking at Zhou Zhou who was eager to hug Old Man Qiu, and thought to himself: Is this the sixth brother's engagement, or the fourth brother's engagement
Obviously, when the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law got engaged, he also blushed and couldn't say a word for a long time. What happened to her fourth brother all these years
Qiu's mother also took Fang's hand and warmly invited her to take a seat, but Fang naturally declined, and insisted on sitting at the head of Qiu's mother.
Liu Liulang stood aside with gifts in his hands, blushing slightly.
Qiu Pei was even more so, standing aside, blushing like something.
The two sides gave way enthusiastically, and then everyone sat down. Man Bao found that the faces of relatives and friends invited by the Qiu family on the opposite side were very pale.
After both parties sat down, Saturday Lang was pushed forward by Friday Lang, and put down the gift in his hand. Only then did the invited matchmaker come into play, pointing to the gift brought by Saturday Lang, while praising Saturday Lang His character and appearance and the sincerity of the old Zhou family.
Zhou Zhoulang was very satisfied. As expected of the matchmaker he personally selected, this eloquence is really good.
Of course, after complimenting the man, the matchmaker also praised the woman in a timely manner, saying that they are really a match made in heaven.
Even Man Bao thinks so, let alone other people.
But the faces of the relatives and friends of the Qiu family became even paler, and after the matchmaker finished speaking, Qiu Pei's aunt couldn't help but doubted and said: "I heard what my aunt and grandma mean, and after you two get married, you will provide them with pensions until the end of their lives? "
Liu Liulang glanced at Qiu Pei and nodded with a blushing face, "Yes, Uncle Qiu only has one daughter, the eldest lady. Of course we have to give Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu the old age."
"But you are not a door-to-door son-in-law. If you provide for the elderly here, what about your parents?"
Sitting on the side, Zhou Lang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Jia, but my sixth brother can't worry about this. There are many brothers in my family, and he is the youngest of the brothers. My parents loved him when I was young, and our brothers don't care too much." Pet him, there are five of us brothers in the matter of supporting the elderly, if he can't bear it, just show more filial piety to his parents and some money."
On Saturday, I talked silently on the side: It's strange that he was released by him. Has his parents hurt him, but he hadn't impressed him, but a few brothers often beat him, especially the fourth brother and the fifth brother. Misfortunes like to be pushed on his head.
However, no matter how cheerful the slander is, Liu Liulang is still very happy with what the fourth brother said.
Aunt Jia pulled the smile on her face and said, "So this means that after the two of them have a child, they will have a surname Qiu?"
Zhou Zhoulang answered "Yes" without changing his smile.
Aunt Jia curled her lips and said, "Then why bother, it's enough just to be a door-to-door son-in-law. Anyway, your family has many sons, so you don't need this one."
"Aunt Jia's words are wrong," Zhou Zhoulang said with a smile, "Even if we have many sons, my sixth brother was raised by his parents in the palm of his hand. They are all the meat that fell from his parents, so he must feel distressed."
He glanced at old man Qiu and said with a smile: "It is also because of the kindness of my parents that I thought that Uncle and Aunt Qiu would not be willing to part with the eldest lady, so they asked my sixth brother to agree to the conditions of the Qiu family, otherwise my sixth brother Brother's conditions, what daughter-in-law can't say?"
Regardless of whether you can say it or not, anyway, blow out the cowhide first.
Old man Qiu felt that he was telling the truth, after all, he had just been to their big house in Chongyuanfang not long ago.
And his sister became a high official.
Although she is a younger sister, not a younger brother, but she is not married yet, so it is a family, right
So Old Man Qiu hurriedly stopped Aunt Jia, nodding repeatedly, for fear that she would spoil the marriage that was so easy to talk about.
Seeing old man Qiu's attitude, Zhou Zhoulang, who was still about to talk, softened his face a little, and then left Aunt Jia behind, and began their main purpose of coming here today.
The matchmaker also immediately took the opportunity to smooth things over, and heated up the atmosphere again. After the two families exchanged the engagement ceremony and Geng Tie, and signed the marriage certificate, the marriage was more than half done, and all the steps were completed when they got married on the auspicious day.
Of course, the requirements of the two families are also written in the marriage certificate.
The old man Qiu took Liu Liulang's Geng invitation, and Fang took Qiu Pei's Geng invitation, so everyone looked at each other and smiled, Zhou Zhoulang said with a smile: "Being engaged is also a great event, so our family specially vacated the second floor of our restaurant for a few table, let’s go over to have a glass of wine together?”
The old man Qiu immediately said: "This engagement ceremony should be eaten at my house, how can I make you spend money?"
Zhou Zhoulang smiled and said: "How can you and I divide this now? We have a lot of family members, and Lizhong and the others have already prepared it over there, so let's go to my house to eat."
Old man Qiu was still a little reluctant, but he was pulled over by Zhou Zhoulang.
Zhou Zhoulang introduced to the relatives and friends of the Qiu family and the Jia family: "This is my eldest nephew Li Zhong, and this is my second nephew Li Wei. Both of them are doing business with our brothers now, and this is my second niece Li Wei." Jun, Uncle Qiu knows, she collects bills in the shop, and she is in charge of our family's bills now, this is my third niece Liru, who is now studying medicine with my younger sister."
Zhou Zhoulang smiled and said: "By the way, you don't know my Yaomei, this is my family's Man Bao, who is now working as an imperial physician in the palace. Not long ago, His Majesty appointed her as a fifth-rank official."
The Qiu family and the Jia family: ...
Zhou Zhoulang continued to introduce, "This is my third nephew Lixue and fourth nephew Ligu. They are both studying in the academy now. Alas, they are not as smart as my Yaomei, so I thought they would be able to study in the future and fail the exam. Official, it's not bad to be an official. By the way, is Bai Shan here?"
Zhou Lizhong, who was asked, nodded in a daze, completely unaware of what happened to Fourth Uncle today.
Zhou Zhoulang smiled and said: "Old Man Qiu, Uncle Jia, let me introduce you to my brother-in-law. He is a good reader. Now he is reading with the prince in the palace. It is rare for Xiumu to come out of the palace today, so I invite their family Also come to eat the engagement wine of the sixth younger brother."
Everyone: ...
Finally finished showing off, Zhou Zhou Lang was refreshed, and took old man Qiu's cousin and uncle upstairs, not forgetting to come back to greet the Qiu family couple.
Years ago, before deciding to tell Zhou Zhou Lang about the marriage, Zhou Zhou Lang had inquired about the situation of the Qiu family.
The Qiu family and his wife only have one daughter, Qiu Pei. Generally speaking, in such a situation, one must either recruit a son-in-law, or adopt an heir from a brother's family to raise him. Yes, most of them can only be divided among the clan members.
In addition to this shop, the Qiu family also has a small house two streets away from here.
Although there is only one entrance, it is quite spacious inside, and there are many jealous people in the clan.
