Chapter 1404 The Lin Family
"Sister Yu married a young master from Fucheng. Sister Dan also grew up in Fucheng. Why did she marry back to the village? Is there some hidden problem?"
Bah, mother Yanjin, shut up. She is the granddaughter of the village chief. If the village chief hears what you say, your family will be expelled!
Shang Yanjins mother said: Im not talking to the head of the village, but to the Gu family. We are kind-hearted and dont want them to be deceived.
Bah, dont you want the Gu family to be deceived? I think you did it on purpose, to ruin the marriage between the Gu family and the Li Chang family.
Shang Yanshengs mother immediately walked away and stopped standing with her, lest her family would be harmed by her.
Ah, you coward! Shang Yanjins mother scolded Shang Yanshengs mother.
But she didn't know that the Gu family already knew the reason why Shang Xiudan would marry back to the village, and it was not what she said at all.
The Gu family of Dafeng Village has come to propose marriage to the Shangli family! You can grab golden bean cakes and wedding candies as you please! The golden matchmaker sat on the front board of the mule cart and shouted to the people of Shangjia Village who were watching the excitement along the road.
Shangjia Village is richer than other villages, but it doesnt have to eat everything. Golden bean cakes and candies are expensive, and everyone comes to catch them one after another. After getting the bean cakes and candies, they will say: "Congratulations to the Gu family." Lucky you!"
Lao Yan was sitting in the carriage, grinning from ear to ear with joy. She asked Jin Niu to lift the curtain of the carriage and watch the guys congratulating her family.
I couldn't help wiping away my tears again: "You are a young man in his early twenties. He is finally a wife. She is also a girl from the eldest son's family. It's really... thanks to your family's blessing."
The last half of the sentence was addressed to Mrs. Cui.
Cui is the mother-in-law of Xiao Sanyuanlang, the mother-in-law of a hundred households, and the mother-in-law of a class leader. She is considered a noble person in Shili and Baxiang. This time she came to the Shang family to give the engagement gift, and she sat on the same table with Lao Yan. In a carriage.
"What you said is very serious. It is Qingliang's ability to decide on this marriage. Only if Qingliang is a good child can he be favored by the head of the Shangli family." Mrs. Cui is very happy recently. Both of her daughters have married Living with a familiar family, her life was going well. She had a smile on her face these days, and she became more courageous.
Lao Yan patted her hand and said, "I am old, but I am still awake. Not to mention Qingliang, even my family can live a good life because of your family's blessing."
He also praised Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, this child, will be lucky if she survives a disaster. After she was beaten and her head was broken by the Niu brothers and she woke up, our family's luck improved. Those days were getting better day by day. Now, The old woman can even ride in the carriage.
Horses are military assets, and ordinary people cannot buy them. If you want to buy one, you must have a good reputation. The carriage you are riding in now was bought in the name of Gu Jinan.
The third grandma smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please stop boasting, my wife from Dashan will be embarrassed."
He added: "Our family has been through life and death together, so there is no need to say any kind words. This blessing belongs to you all."
Lao Yan nodded: "Yes, yes, the third brother and sister can still talk. Our family is all blessed."
Mrs. Yan couldn't help but laugh. This was the heartiest time her mother-in-law had laughed in recent years: "Mom, you have a bad voice. Take a rest first and wait until you get to Shangli's house before you talk, otherwise your throat won't be able to bear it."
While fleeing from famine, Lao Yan made her throat so thirsty that she wanted her children to drink more water.
But old Yan laughed and said, "As long as you, my mother-in-law, are here, I, my grandmother, can just sit there. There is no need to say anything. I am not afraid." After hearing this, Mrs. Yan started to laugh, and her laughter spread to the outside of the carriage. .
People in Shangjia Village heard this and knew that the Gu family was very happy to marry the eldest member of the Shangli family.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the procession delivering the engagement gift stopped in front of the gate of Shangli Changs house.
Shang Zifu, the eldest grandson of Shang Li, and other brothers of the Shang family were waiting at the gate. When they saw the Gu family's carriage coming, they hurriedly stood up straight.
The golden matchmaker got out of the car first, and came forward with his mother-in-law, maids, and the master who was playing joy, and shouted: "On an auspicious day, the Gu family of Dafeng has come to present the betrothal to the Shang family. Please open the door of the Jishan Shang family to welcome us!"
After shouting three times, Shang Zifu and the others followed the rules and came forward to greet the Gu family.
After seeing the gift, open the door of the house and let the matchmaker come in with the engagement gift.
Sending betrothal gifts is a way for the grooms family to show respect to the girls family. Each time they carry something, they have to shout a few times and let the onlookers stare at it for a while before carrying the betrothal gift into the house.
Everyone looked at the engagement gift given by Gu Qingliang's family and almost drooled with envy.
"I thought only Gu Xiucai's family was rich, but I didn't expect that Gu Qingliang's family was also so rich. They gave three sets of gold-headed noodles and six pieces of fine clothing materials, two of which were silk. , I gave you sixty-six taels of silver, which is enough to build a big brick house with tiles, you are really rich!"
"No, this is just the engagement gift. How much do we have to give as a betrothal gift when we get married?" A woman counted on her fingers, and after a moment she exclaimed: "Oh my God, here is The elder's family can earn at least a thousand taels of silver by marrying their third granddaughter. Gu Qingliang's family has so much money that they can't keep it? Why spend so much money on marrying a wife? If they save a little money, they can at least marry a hundred times!"
The people in Shangjia Village are envious and jealous.
Shang Yanjin's mother even had a wrong idea and said to the women around her: "The Qin Gu Luotian family is really rich. They have a lot of young people and girls, right? Do you think we are also the same?" Go climb the doors of their houses?
A woman scolded: "Mother Yanjin, are you crazy? The door of Qin Gu Luotian's family is easy to climb? Have you forgotten Shang Laosi's family? Have you forgotten Mrs. Niu and the others? And shopkeeper Feng's family, Now it's all over. You still want to encourage the big guys to take advantage of these boys and girls, do you want to kill us?!"
Shang Yanjin's mother was exposed and said confidently: "What do you mean by killing you? I'm helping you, as well as the Qin Gu Luotian family. This boy and girl have to get married when they get older. We in Shangjia Village They are living a good life, it is a blessing for them to get married to us after fleeing from famine!"
As soon as these words came out, all the women nearby dispersed, **** at Shang Yanjin's mother: "You harmful shrew, don't come here to hurt us. The head of the village has said that anyone who dares to take advantage of the Gu family will be punished." Whose family will be expelled?"
"Jade pendant! Look, the Gu family also gave a jade pendant as an engagement gift!" Someone screamed, attracting everyone's attention.
People in Shangjia Village looked around and saw two Tongxin pendants placed on a wooden tray covered with red cloth.
Although the quality of the jade is not high-quality, it is rare for a peasant family to give a jade pendant as a wedding gift. The Shang family is really proud this time.
"Only officials and wealthy people will give jade to their betrothed family. This Gu family is considerate and willing to give it. The eldest family member has made a good marriage."
People in Shangjia Village praised the Gu family one after another because of the two jade pendants, and Shang Zifu and the others felt quite proud when they heard this.
Shang Zixiang looked at Lin Guangtong next to him. After seeing the surprised expression on his face, Shang Zixiang finally let out the sullen feeling in his heart!
