Chapter 615 Extra 9
Xin An has always been considerate in etiquette. After giving generous gifts, she would naturally not fail to say a few nice words, which was very pleasing to the Zhou family's ears. In addition, they were counting on her care in the future, so they became even closer to her.
The old lady looked at the scene with a smile. It can be said that she had lived happily only in the last two years in her life. There were no things in the mansion that made her unhappy. She had great-grandson to take care of her, and she could often see her maternal family. Seeing her maternal family in the mansion, it should be said that they were getting better and better with the help of Tang Mo and his wife. She had no regrets at all, even though she had not been able to go back to her maternal family so far.
The couple were kind and generous, and she believed that after she was gone, her family would still be treated well.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Xin An saw her eyes were full of tears and was surprised to speak. Everyone realized that she was wiping tears. "It's nothing. I'm just happy to see the whole family happy. My grandmother likes to see the younger generations happy when she's old."
Xin An smiled and said, "But you scared me. You are half responsible for the prosperity of our mansion today. It is said that an old man in the family is like a treasure. Your health and longevity are our blessing."
Wang also smiled and nodded, saying that several of the grandchildren in the mansion were growing up. "This morning, Baowa Ruwa came to greet me. I was happy and sad at the same time. It seemed like he was still babbling in my arms yesterday, but today he is bowing and saying 'Greetings to Grandmother'. These good days have passed by too quickly."
"You have to live a long life and see your great-grandchildren get married."
Mrs. Zhou also agreed with a smile, and the old lady smiled so hard that her eyebrows could not be seen. "Then I will live my life to the fullest and wait for the day when my great-grandchildren become successful."
The house was filled with laughter and joy. Soon it was the first day of Zhou Min's wedding. Several relatives came to help. When they saw Zhou Min's dowry that filled the yard, they praised it. Especially the gold and jade ornaments that sparkled in the sun, many of them were dazzled. They were wonderful things that could not be bought with money.
No need to guess where it came from.
When Zhao returned, she told Tang Yu about this matter. Her original intention was to say that the Zhou family was also a well-off family with a generous dowry, and the extra dowry given by the old lady was also very good. However, Tang Yu did not like this.
Tang Quaner and Tang Feier's marriage is not as good as Zhou Min's, and now even the dowry is much worse.
"The engagement was made in a hurry. Our Tang family is stronger than the Zhou family, but the husbands of Quan Quaner and her sister have not shown any signs of promotion. When they came to pay their respects last time, they implied that they wanted to follow the path of the Marquis' Mansion."
"Quan'er's in-laws are even planning to take her dowry. This marriage is going to go wrong."
"The Zhang Hanlin family is a serious scholarly family, well-educated and well-mannered, so the betrothal gift is not bad and is decent.
As he spoke, he became even more dissatisfied. "Even if they are family relatives, they still have to be ranked. The Zhou family is wealthy, but the dowry from wealthy families is just more practical. Those antiques and jades were given by the old lady. After all, they are my own nephew and grandson, my mother's family."
"She'll still marry from the Marquis's Mansion."
The old lady also gave dowries when Tang Quaner and her sister got married, but it was indeed not as much as Zhou Min's. Zhao knew Tang Yu's thoughts and knew that he was not convinced, so she said, "You can't blame the old lady for favoring her family. They all lived in the Marquis' Mansion. When we were here, we were busy with our own things. The maids were not very close to the old lady. The girl from the Zhou family lived in the old lady's yard since she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion and served her attentively for two years. No one can compare to her."
"Speaking of the marriage, you personally asked someone to act as a matchmaker, and you didn't ask the second brother to act as a matchmaker. Who can you blame for this?"
At that time, I just thought that Tang Gang was a marquis, so his matchmaking would definitely be good, "Besides, we chose the person ourselves."
Tang Yu felt even more depressed after hearing what he said. He was even more angry because it was his fault. "Ke'er must choose her marriage carefully. I think the men her two brothers suggested are not very good. They are almost the same as the two husbands above. You still have to consider their family background. Go talk to the second son's wife later."
"We still have to talk about the matter of Quan'er's husband. We can't just ignore it."
Zhao nodded, feeling somewhat regretful in her heart. At that time, Wang had been advising her not to be anxious. It was they who could not wait and hastily decided on someone. It was too late to regret now.
The Marquis' Mansion was very lively on the day Zhou Min got married. This was the first time a girl was married in the mansion since its establishment, even if she was a cousin.
The groom of the Zhang family was well-mannered and in high spirits, and he was filled with the joy of marriage. The groomsmen who came to pick him up were all Zhang family relatives and friends, all of them scholars, with good looks and good temperament. It felt like a group of people were carrying the scent of ink, and they could recite poems to welcome the bride and to urge her to get married. The envious Third Uncle of the Xin family almost drooled, and whispered to his wife beside him: "I don't know when there were so many scholars in our Xin family, just looking at them makes me jealous."
Xin's Third Aunt rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't even think about it for decades at this rate. Earn your money well and find more educated sons-in-law in the future."
Zhou Min bid farewell to her family and was carried out by Tang Mo himself. After waiting for the wedding procession to leave, his eyes turned red. Yan Shimao joked, "Be more reserved. She's your cousin."
Tang Mo turned his head and said, "I just thought that if my daughter gets married, she will have to live cautiously in someone else's home. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."
Yan Shimao: He shouldn’t have said anything, because he really has a daughter, and now he feels annoyed when he sees other boys.
Liao Xiaolang and a group of kids grabbed a lot of red envelopes, looking very happy. He turned around and saw Yan Shimao, and politely bowed to him. Yan Shimao's heart choked. Not only did Tang Mo's wife fascinate Liao Xiaolang, but even her wife was full of praise for him, saying that he was very polite, strong and powerful, good at studying and kung fu. At a glance, you can see his demeanor when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and said that he was a top-notch kid among this group of children in Kyoto.
Humph, he has already attracted a group of women at such a young age. How good will he be when he grows up? How scheming is Liao Zhi?
Even though his body was stained with blood, he was still able to thrive under two generations of emperors. If Liao Xiaolang inherited his cleverness, which woman could outsmart him?
He was so disgusted here, but Mrs. Liao was surrounded by several other ladies, all praising Liao Xiaolang, "He is tall and good-looking, and I heard that the teacher also praised him. Mrs. Liao, you are really good at teaching children."
"I heard that he went to the palace to see the emperor last month, and the emperor was full of praise, saying that he would grow up to be a great general. It is true that a good father will have a good son. I am really envious."
They all have daughters at home. You know, Liao Xiaolang is very popular among girls at a young age. What's more, he is really outstanding, and the Liao family is not bad either, so there are many families who have the same ideas as him.
Mrs. Liao dealt with these people with a smile. She could be considered to have benefited from her son's presence when she went out, but it was ok for her to respond with a few polite words, but it was absolutely not okay to talk about marriage. Her son was very opinionated and more difficult to deal with than his father.
Lin Yao stood next to Xin An and said, "See how popular you are? I talked to your brother-in-law twice at home but he still didn't agree. He didn't know that a good son-in-law has to be snatched away."
Xin Anke was the first to like Liao Xiaolang. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhang Yanrui coming with Yan Wuhan, and she joked, "Hey, your eldest son-in-law."
