"Since your words are so harsh, then just shut up!"
Bai's mother interrupted the woman directly. She had been holding back for a long time and no longer needed to hold back: "These are things left by our ancestors. How can you, a beautiful Chinese who was educated in a beautiful country with a history of only 300 years, understand them?
"I'm afraid this is what the so-called barbarians who don't know respect for others and are lazy are like, right?"
"Little brother, this is the good girl you taught? Uncle, this is your good granddaughter?"
Bai's mother turned around and looked at Bai Cheng's brothers and uncle.
Their faces flushed red, and they looked confused. They really didn't expect Luo Feiya to do such a thing.
Luo Feiya's face turned red after being scolded by Bai's mother.
She knew she had been impolite when she coughed, and she immediately became angry and stopped talking.
Bai Cheng gently pulled Bai's mother to help her calm down, then turned around and pulled Chen Qiangjun and the matchmaker to apologize in a low voice.
Next, the banquet that Baicheng ordered from the hotel was delivered.
Bai Mu Bai Cai accompanied the matchmaker, Chen Qiangjun and others, and drank and chatted happily.
When the banquet was almost over, the matchmaker spoke again and took the second step.
Asking for good luck! This means asking about the woman's birth date.
After obtaining Bai Luo's birth date and time, Chen Qiangjun and others stood up and said goodbye.
Back to the hotel,
The matchmaker looked at Chen Qiangjun and said, "Qiangjun, I know an old man in the capital who studies the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams and predicts marriages. I'll call him now and ask him to help look after the two children!"
"Okay, I'll trouble you, big brother!"
"We are one family and we don't have different opinions!"
The matchmaker smiled and shook his head, then dialed the number.
"Hello?"
"Hello, old man, I'm Xiao Ji. I'm here to see you today because I told you that day that my nephew is going to ask for a lucky number today, so I wanted to trouble you..."
"Okay, I'll send you the birth dates of the two children right away!"
After hanging up the phone, the matchmaker sent the old man's birth date and horoscope.
More than two hours later,
The matchmaker's phone rang, and the matchmaker quickly pressed the answer button: "Old man!"
The old man's voice rang out from the other end of the line: "Xiao Ji, the birth dates of the two children are very compatible, absolutely perfect. I've been reading horoscopes all my life, and this is the first time I've seen such a perfect match. It seems like these two children were destined to be together in their previous lives!"
"Really? That's wonderful. Thank you, old sir. When we return to the imperial capital, the child's father and I will visit you in person!"
"Haha, there's no need to come to see me, an old man. But if you really want to come, and the child has time, then let the child come and let me see him!"
"Okay, if the child has time, I'll bring him to meet you!"
The matchmaker exchanged pleasantries with the old man for a while and then hung up the phone.
His phone was on speakerphone, and Chen Qiangjun, Chu Xuan and others also heard what the old man said and were very happy.
"Qiangjun, the two children's fortunes are very good, now everyone can rest assured!"
The matchmaker looked at Chen Qiangjun, and Chen Qiangjun nodded happily.
On the other side, a white-haired old man looked puzzled: "This child's fate... is strange, strange..."
the next day,
The matchmaker brought a few people with gifts to Baicheng's house.
This time, according to the rules, Chen Qiangjun and Chu Xuan cannot accompany them.
The matchmaker arrived at Baicheng's house.
After some polite words according to the rules, he handed over a piece of paper. On it was written: "I have consulted the temple and received a good omen. I have sent a messenger to inform you. The marriage is now settled."
Baicheng took the note, and Najib finally completed the third step.
So the matchmaker started the fourth step.
betrothal
Also known as "Nabi", it refers to the betrothal gift given by the man's family to the woman's family.
"Naji" and "Nazheng" are two ceremonies that are often performed together. This is the main procedure for engagement.
In some southern regions, this is also called "wending" or "xiading", which means the man gives the woman a betrothal gift.
Generally, physical objects and cash are used.
The bride price was calculated based on the woman's age. For each year of her life, one dan of aged wine was given. For a 16-year-old bride, 16 dan of wine would be given, equivalent to about 48 silver dollars. In some places, the amount was calculated in terms of rice, with one dan of rice per year being worth about the same as aged wine.
certainly,
In addition to the old wine, Chu Xuan also prepared more than twenty small gold bars as the betrothal gift this time.
According to Bai Luo's age, he gets one gold bar per year.
Chen Qiangjun and Chu Xuan have been working as drug enforcement officers for half their lives. Their salary is not high, but the couple has saved almost one million yuan over half their lives.
Later, after the two were promoted to deputy directors, their salaries increased, but their tenure was not long.
The most important thing is that Chen Fan worked hard and got the top score in science, winning a bonus of one million yuan. Later, his house in the suburbs was demolished and he got another sum of money.
Simply put,
My family is rich!
For Chen Qiangjun and Chu Xuan, they only have one son, Chen Fan, and one daughter-in-law, Bai Luo. They wish to give everything to the young couple.
As for themselves, after retirement, their pensions are enough for them to live a good life.
When Bai Cheng and his mother saw that there were more than twenty gold bars in the betrothal gift, even though they had seen the world, they still swallowed their saliva secretly when they saw the gold bars worth more than one million yuan in front of them.
Luo Feiya, who was standing by, was also dumbfounded when she saw the twenty or so gold bars.
Their family moved to the United States to settle down when she was young. Because she was born in the United States, she was born with a yellow card and was able to become a citizen of the United States. This is also what she has always been most proud of.
