In fact, it is extremely lucky that Madam Song has reached her current state in life, and it is also her blessing to marry Xiao Qin.
She was a widow with a young daughter, helpless in Jeju City. Fortunately, she met the Xiao family and got together with Xiao Qin. What else could she complain about?
Aunt Xiao has already said so much, so of course she will just follow this flower path!
Hearing her tone and words, Xiao's mother knew that she meant to agree. Her smile deepened for a moment. She took her hand, touched it again and again with satisfaction, and looked at it again and again.
"Don't worry, Wan'er. Our family and Xiao Qin will definitely treat you and Xuxu well and won't let you down. You are a good woman who can endure hardships and behave decently. It is true that we, Xiao Qin, are marrying up to you. You two should discuss how to live your life. When you have made up your mind, tell your aunt and she will prepare everything for you."
Xiao's mother thought about it and decided that if Song Wan got married, she would definitely have to wear a set of pure silver jewelry. Rich families would give her gold, while ordinary families would give her silver. A pair of silver hairpins, a pair of silver bracelets, and a pair of jade earrings would be a must.
This preparation requires two copies, one for Song Wan and one for Liang Cuicui.
Do what you are capable of. When we were in Xianhe Village before, the conditions were there. Let’s not talk about it for now. The second son’s wife and the fourth son’s wife were at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it, and they can only make up for it later.
Based on my understanding of the two of them, I guess they wouldn't have any objections, especially Jiang Sui, who cares the least about these things.
You didn't have money before, but now you have some money. You have to pay attention to it. It won't work to be stingy with your future daughter-in-law. Anyway, Xiao's mother will explain this to Zhou and Jiang Sui one by one and make it up to them in the future.
"Aunt, Xiao Qin and I have discussed this a long time ago. Let's pick a date, go to the government office to get the paperwork done, sit together as a family and have a meal, and go through the ceremony. It doesn't have to be too grand. We are both widows with children, so there's no need to make a big fuss. Anyway, there's no one in my family now, so we can just keep it simple."
Song Wan's idea was that the family should just have some fun together, hang some red silk, paste a few wedding characters, buy two new sets of clothes and a new mattress, and then the two of them should wear their wedding clothes, find a witness, and have the ceremony.
"But wouldn't that be too unfair to you?"
Hearing her say this, Xiao's mother felt bad, thinking it was too simple. As a woman, even if she had been married once before, who wouldn't want to have a lively marriage with the man she loves?
"I don't feel wronged. These are enough for me. Everyone has been very nice to me. You have the final say, so just listen to me!"
Song Wan really didn't want to make a big fuss, so she decided to keep it simple, which would make her feel more at ease.
In the end, Xiao's mother couldn't persuade her anymore, so she nodded and agreed, and then asked Xiao's father to find someone to choose a date. However, she was thinking in her heart that she should try her best to make Song Wan feel that her family valued her.
So he went to Jiang Sui to discuss what to do.
Jiang Sui suggested that Xiao Hechuan happened to have a good friend who was from a classmate whose family was in the cloth and silk business. They also accepted orders for customized clothing. They could get some discounts based on this relationship. Getting married was a big event, and although they didn't plan to hold a big ceremony, they had to go through the necessary procedures.
When the time comes, I will say hello to Lu Yao and arrange for a tailor to come to the house to measure the sizes of my eldest brother and future sister-in-law, make a wedding suit for each of them, and measure a few sets of casual clothes for my sister-in-law.
It just so happens that since we are going to make wedding dresses, let’s just schedule a date nearby and make both Xiao Yi and Liang Cuicui’s at the same time.
The new house also needs to be decorated quickly. The furniture in the new house is all brand new, so there is no need to buy anything new. However, two additional dressing tables and two mahogany boxes must be customized to store the new mattresses.
We also need to clean up a room for Xuxu. She will be their child in the future. Although she is still young, she should have her own room, right?
Xiao's mother knew that she could never go wrong if she consulted Jiang Sui about anything. She just felt that she was old and sometimes didn't think things through comprehensively.
But now, all four sons have found their place to live, and there is no need to worry about these things in the future.
…
Jiang Sui was busy all day long. He had just finished discussing with Xiao's mother, and the next thing he did was to find Xiao Hechuan to ask him to greet Lu Yao and arrange a time for the tailor to come to the house to measure the measurements.
Xiao Hechuan had to take charge of the poetry competition, which was in its white-hot stage. Today, Qi Xiuyuan was really putting his full effort into the poetry competition, and he didn't look as careless as he usually does. Except in calligraphy, it was rare to see him being so serious.
The questions posed by Mr. Zhong Yun today really hit the mark. It was not in vain that he had spent the past few months following Xiao Hechuan. His poetry writing skills have improved a lot.
As for Lu Yao, he barely made it to the second round. He could only accept his fate and now hoped that Qi Xiuyuan would win the prize. Then he could also touch the yellow jade pendant, which would be a good omen.
Jiang Sui squeezed into the crowd and found Xiao Hechuan, who was leaning against a pillar with his arms folded and watching. She stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in his ear, then curled her lips and smiled, and her eyes began to search for Lu Yao's presence.
Lu Yao seemed to have telepathy. He turned his head and found that Brother Xiao was looking at him.
Xiao Hechuan just gave him a look, motioning him to come over.
Anyway, he had no chance to win the prize today, so he squeezed through the crowd and came to his side. The three of them found a place with few people and told him to ask their tailor to come to their house to measure the size.
When he heard that they wanted to measure wedding dresses, and two sets at a time, Lu Yao immediately asked curiously who they were measuring for.
Xiao Hechuan did not hide it and said that he was the eldest brother and the third brother. Lu Yao immediately said that he would take care of the matter and would give him the most favorable price and invite the most skilled tailor.
"Thank you very much, Brother Lu. After the matter is done, I will treat you to a drink. You can choose the place!" Xiao Hechuan said.
For the three of them, it's either you or I who will treat, but the expenses won't be too high. We're not an outrageously wealthy family, so what's the difference between being too extravagant and being a playboy?
Lu Yao said that was fine, but then he sighed:
"Your family is prosperous, with so many happy events happening one after another. Don't forget to invite me when there's a wedding banquet. I have to get a little bit of your happiness!"
He really didn't say that. Over the past year, he opened shops one after another, acquired properties one after another, and even happy events in his family came one after another.
