Chapter 574: Double Marriage

"Yanzi's words make sense. We originally wanted to find a husband for Wangyou because we were afraid that she would be bullied. Mingxue and our family are step-relatives, which is a close relationship. Why should we make things difficult for him? Since the two children have developed feelings for each other, we should not be the bad guy.

Mingxue said this, so Wangyou must have known about it. Wangyou is a quiet kid who keeps things to himself. This is a rare opportunity for him to be brave, so he agreed. "Zhang Jinlan nodded.

"It's true, the two children are a good match. Although Mingxue is a little old, we know the Kong family well. He is also a scholar. If he works hard in the future, he may even pass the imperial examination. Fame is nothing.

Mingxue has always been a sensible and filial child. Whenever he comes to our shop, he always helps with the chores. The most important thing is that I have never heard that he has an affair with anyone. I also heard from Mrs. Wan that Mingxue is a child..."

Zhu Yingqiu almost said the word "boy".

There are children in the house.

She quickly closed her mouth and drank some water awkwardly.

"Aunt, grandma, let me tell you, this isn't a simple matter. It's a double marriage." Jiang Fubao interrupted.

She didn't expect Brother Mingxue to be so quick. After just one night, he was in such a mess that he had to see his parents.

It really is a tiger.

She has to help her elder sister and brother Mingxue.

After saying this, everyone in the room looked at her.

"Fubao, what is this double marriage you just mentioned?" Sun Pingmei asked curiously.

"I heard this when I went to Jiangnan for fun. A double marriage means that the man does not marry, and the woman does not marry either. They each hold a banquet at home. As for the child, it doesn't matter whether he or she takes the man's surname or the woman's. If two children are born, one will take the father's surname and the other will take the mother's surname.

During festivals, we can go back to our own homes, or go to his home this year and your home next year. The main purpose is fairness. Besides, since Brother Mingxue is going to take the imperial examination, he will definitely not be a son-in-law. If others know about it, he will never be able to be a son-in-law in his life, let alone a Jinshi. "

Jiang Fubao said nonsense casually that there was no such thing as double marriage.

But her family had never been to Jiangnan, so naturally they didn't know. Plus, her family didn't understand science, so she needed to do some popular science.

The status of a son-in-law in this dynasty was extremely low, even lower than that of a businessman.

Looked down upon by everyone.

Although he could take part in the imperial examination, once the examiners knew that he was a live-in son-in-law, he would definitely not be on the list.

"So that's how it is. There are actually two-headed marriages in the world. This is the first time I've heard of it. But it's really good. This way, we don't have to worry about being bullied, and we don't have to pay for the marriage. We can still give them the dowry we should give. As long as they live a good life, it's better than anything else. If Mrs. Wan comes to visit, I will tell her this and see what she says."

Zhu Yingqiu put down the teacup and finally a smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Wangyou, who was sent away by his sister, also guessed that people at home were discussing this matter.

Therefore, she was a little absent-minded when answering Ruyi's questions.

The next morning, Mrs. Wan and Kong Yuanbao brought their son to the house.

The servants following behind him were carrying large and small bags.

There was this year's new tea, the most expensive wine, a lot of seasonal fruits, and even gifts prepared for everyone in the Jiang family.

At this time, the Jiang family was having breakfast and had not yet gone out.

I heard from the servants that the Kong family had arrived.

The whole family hurriedly put down their bowls and didn't even have breakfast.

After the two families sat down in the main hall, Wan Xian spoke first.

"This child suddenly ran home yesterday and said that he wanted to marry Wangyou. I was shocked, but after thinking about it, I realized that our two families know each other well. Since the child has expressed his feelings, we should not hesitate. If you agree, why not find an auspicious day and get engaged."

Wan Xian glared at her son first, then smiled and spoke to the Jiang family.

"Not only you, I was also shocked. Mingxue suddenly came to the shop and told me that he wanted to marry Wangyou. I was so scared that I almost dropped the dough on the ground. Well, I don't know when these two kids fell in love with each other. Since it's like this, it's better to settle it as soon as possible."

Zhang Jinlan didn't expect Wan Xian to bring up the matter directly without beating around the bush.

She glanced at her eldest granddaughter, and seeing her lower her head shyly, she decided to agree.

"To show my sincerity, I've brought here my son's dowry list. Do you think it's satisfactory?" Wan Xian pulled out a piece of origami from her sleeve and spread it out, almost reaching the length of the table.

There are a lot of words written densely on it.

"Dowry? What dowry?" Zhu Yingqiu asked puzzledly.

"Isn't your Wangyou looking for a son-in-law? Even though this boy is a son-in-law who is given away by fortune, we will not treat Wangyou unfairly. We only have this one son, and this huge family fortune will belong to the young couple in the future. It doesn't matter if you give it to them sooner or later, why not give it to them on the day of engagement?"

Wan Xian waved her hand generously.

Sun Pingmei looked at the words on the paper and her jaw dropped in shock.

"One hundred mu of first-class farmland, three hundred mu of second-class farmland, a three-story house in Chang'an Town, three shops, a two-story house in Baishui Town, two shops, three thousand taels of silver..."

After Sun Pingmei read to the end, she didn't dare to look any further.

The Kong family is so rich.

Oh My God.

Does this mean that we should move our whole family to Wangyou?

"It's my fault for not explaining it clearly. We don't have to find a son-in-law for Wangyou. Fubao mentioned it last night. In fact, these two children can have two marriages without getting married. If they have two children, one will be named Jiang and the other will be named Kong.

They live in a separate house. If they want to go to the Kong family, they can go. If they want to go back to the Jiang family, they can go back. I watched Mingxue grow up. How could I bear to let him live with me? Besides, if he becomes a live-in son-in-law, it will hinder his imperial examinations. I can't harm him."

Zhang Jinlan hurried to explain.

She didn't expect that the Kong family would actually agree to let Mingxue come to their house.

You know, Mingxue is an only child.

The couple has only one child.

This sincerity is really full.

Even she was shocked.

"Oh, that's a great relationship. To be honest, his father and I didn't sleep the whole night last night. To be honest, I only had him, and I sent him to my house. I felt so sad that I can't explain it.

But he likes Wangyou, we can't stop him, he's already this old, hey, knowing that you want to find a son-in-law for Wangyou, his father and I can only grit our teeth and agree. "

Wan Xian was somewhat surprised to hear this, but then she sighed and spoke out what was in her heart.

The two families are on good terms, so there is no need for her to hide some things.

Kong Yuanbao, who had a tense face, also smiled.

"Godmother, godfather, you are here?" At this moment, Jiang Fubao, who had just woken up, came in from outside. When she was washing up, she heard Xue Huan say that someone from the Kong family had come, so she put on her clothes and hurried over.

"Come on, Fubao, sit next to your godmother." Wan Xian smiled and patted the chair beside her.

The two companies started discussing again.

Jiang Fubao did not interrupt the whole process. His big eyes looked at Jiang Wangyou for a while, then at Kong Mingxue, and he was very busy.
