Chapter 496 Visiting the Qian Family
The door leading to the backyard is covered with thick cloth in winter.
It's hot now.
This thick cloth was replaced with light gauze.
As the spring breeze blows through, the white and yellowish gauze curtains begin to dance, looking quite artistic.
"Miss, the food in the kitchen has run out, so the second young lady asked her brother to go buy some. Her brother met the first lady on the street. She was taking the eldest young lady with her, and they seemed to be going to the dental clinic." Pan Erya said mysteriously into Jiang Fubao's ear.
"My eldest sister is fourteen years old. The two families have agreed to get engaged at the end of the year and get married next year. I guess my aunt is taking my eldest sister to buy dowry. Bah, what do you mean dowry? That's called a betrothal gift."
Jiang Fubao just uttered a few words.
I don’t know how my aunt-in-law convinced the Qian family.
He actually agreed to let his son marry into the family.
You have to know that in ancient times, unless the family was so poor that they could not afford to eat and were about to starve to death, or if they had seven or eight sons and wanted to marry one off, most people would not agree to let their sons marry off.
No matter how poor I am.
What's more, the Qian family also opened a grain store in Wugu Lane, so they were not short of money at all.
Then there is no need to let your son become a son-in-law.
"That day, I passed by and heard the eldest lady and the eldest lady talking about this matter." Lu'er, who was wiping the table, heard the voice.
She didn't dare to talk about her master's gossip, so she looked at Jiang Fubao, waiting for her consent before deciding whether to speak.
"Go ahead and talk. There are no outsiders here." Jiang Fubao nodded.
"The eldest lady said that she promised the Qian family that she would buy a house for the eldest daughter and open a shop. When the young master of the Qian family moved in, he and the eldest daughter would live in the house. As for the shop, it would be managed by the eldest daughter and sell some embroidery. As for the Qian family, they could not provide a dowry, so the young master of the Qian family moved in empty-handed."
Luer didn't mean to hear it.
It was just a coincidence.
It has been more than half a year and she has never mentioned it. If Pan Erya hadn't suddenly brought it up with the young lady, she would have probably forgotten about it.
"So that's how it is. That's what I was wondering, why would the Qian family agree to let their son marry into the family?" Jiang Fubao frowned his handsome eyebrows.
She doesn't mind her family buying a house and a shop for her eldest sister.
But I wonder, can a marriage that is bought last long?
If you continue to be in power, that person won't dare to do anything.
But what if?
He came here for money, but one day he will betray his elder sister for money.
What's more, the eldest sister has a very gentle temper and never says a word when she is bullied. She is not at all at ease. Just when Jiang Fubao was considering whether to persuade his family.
Zhu Yingqiu and Jiang Wangyou, who were standing at the door of the pawnshop, finally waited for the Qian family to arrive.
I thought it was just the mother and son coming, but who knew that the entire Qian family was here.
The smile on Zhu Yingqiu's face was a little stiff.
"Yingqiu, we are not late, are we? You know, my Jie'er is the youngest. His elder brother and his wife love him very much. So, why don't we just come together? The adults are here, we can't just leave my grandson at home.
Don't mind it, after all, this is a big deal about the child, and with more of us, we can help you make decisions together, and then you can choose a house or shop that you like."
Yan Xiu could obviously see that Zhu Yingqiu's expression was not right.
She hurried forward, took Zhu Yingqiu's hand and explained in a low voice.
His face was filled with a flattering smile.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Zhu Yingqiu could only nod awkwardly and said, "It's okay. We will be a family sooner or later. Now that you are here, go in quickly and help the two children choose."
My daughter is going to be engaged by the end of the year. If something unpleasant happens now, how will Wangyou and Jie'er get married?
I saw Wangyou and Jie'er chatting and they seemed to be getting along well.
Zhu Yingqiu could only swallow this unpleasant feeling.
However, she did not listen carefully to what they were talking about.
If I heard it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it.
From beginning to end, Qian Liangjie kept talking to Jiang Wangyou.
Every time he moved closer, Jiang Wangyou moved away.
Therefore, in Zhu Yingqiu's eyes, she thought that the two of them had a good relationship.
"Mrs. Jiang, you are here. I have found three shops and five houses for you these days. They all meet your requirements. They are close to Jiang's house or the snack shop, but not too far away. The houses are all quiet in the midst of noise. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
The Zhouya people in the dental industry are very familiar with the Jiang family.
In the past two years, the Jiang family has looked for Zhouya people to buy land, shops, and servants.
Therefore, the Zhouya people's attitude towards Zhu Yingqiu was extremely good.
Even Yan Xiu straightened his back, feeling that he was being valued.
"Everyone, please take a seat..." Zhou Ya Ren led them to the main hall of the pawnshop and told the maid to pour a cup of tea for each of them.
As for Qian Gufeng, the younger grandson of the Qian family.
Then he poured him a glass of sweet milk.
Milk is very expensive here, and the rich people can't afford to drink it, let alone milk with two spoonfuls of sugar in it.
Qian Gufeng, who is now six years old, has only drunk it twice. He held the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, he raised the cup and looked at Zhou Yaren eagerly.
Zhu Yingqiu felt a little embarrassed.
This child is already six years old, how come he still doesn't know manners?
"Xiao Cui, heat up another cup of milk for the young master." No matter what Zhou Yanren thought in his heart, he would not show it on his face and always had a smile on his face.
"Oh, we came here in a hurry and haven't eaten yet. I think my son Feng is hungry. My dear grandson, wait until you finish looking at the shop and the house, then we can go home and have dinner. You are not allowed to have more after you finish drinking. How can you keep drinking?"
Yan Xiu also felt ashamed. She had a stern face and pretended to curse, but she was actually hinting that Zhu Yingqiu and her family had not eaten in order to come and look after the shop.
Want to make her feel guilty.
Qian Gufeng immediately pursed his lips and pretended to cry.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. The child is young and ignorant. How can he stand being hungry? Feng'er, Grandma Zhu will take you to dinner later. Feng'er likes meat, right? Let's eat meat today, okay? Don't cry, just sit still. The milk will be here soon."
Zhu Yingqiu hugged Qian Gufeng and threatened to treat him to a meal, which finally coaxed him into submission.
"Sister Wangyou, you seem to have lost some weight recently, but are you not feeling well?" Qian Liangjie was sitting next to Jiang Wangyou.
From time to time, he would find topics to chat with Jiang Wangyou.
But Jiang Wangyou was a man of few words and didn't like to talk, so he only replied to him with a few words.
Qian Liangjie suddenly felt bored and simply stopped talking.
"Zhou Yaren, please introduce it to me." Zhu Yingqiu took a sip of tea and said to Zhou Yaren.
"Yes, Madam Jiang, I have three shops in total, located in Huadie Lane, Zhuxiang Lane and Nishang Lane on Shibu Street, and all of them have backyards. The shop in Huadie Lane is slightly bigger, but also older. The shops in Zhuxiang Lane and Nishang Lane are smaller, but newer, so the prices of the three shops are similar."
Zhou Yaren stood in front of Zhu Yingqiu.
