I don't think that you are biased in choosing a wife, since they are all daughters-in-law of the Chi family.
Of course, I know how hard it is for you. I don't want you to marry a daughter-in-law, so I'll just invite your own family to have a meal.
"After all, we invited you for Xiaofeng's marriage; if we don't invite the others, our daughter-in-law might be unhappy later."
Huang Dani and Chen Xiaomai exchanged a glance, then Huang Dani looked at Wang Yunjuan and said:
"Little Phoenix, I am very touched that you are thinking of us, and I also think it would be good to get married together."
However, you can't be asked to provide everything needed for the banquet.
Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you. How about we each contribute half?
After all, my third brother's wife and I together are essentially marrying five daughters-in-law.
And you, at best, are essentially marrying two daughters.
Wang Yunjuan thought for a moment and said, "How about I provide all the food rations, and you can provide the meat and vegetables for this meal?"
Let's keep our wedding simple for now.
You should gather your respective in-laws together, and then call the clan leader and others here to act as witnesses.
When I have the chance in the future, I will hold another wedding for Xiaofeng and Akang in the county town.
At that time, I'll need your permission!
She had originally planned to throw a big party, but now it seems she can only make things difficult for Xiaofeng and make it up to her later!
Huang Dani no longer has the same mindset as when she married Qiaoya, when she planned a grand wedding.
As long as you look at the red characters inside the cave, it says that the disaster is getting closer every day.
She just wanted to save as much food as possible, so that when her children got married, she could just treat her own family to a meal.
So, after hearing this, she thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then we'll make it about eight tables in total."
Like A-Ping's wife and others, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, she's just a wife of agreement.
Whether the two will end up together is another matter.
I plan to invite their family over for a meal once we've finalized the arrangements, just to get them to know the place.
As for the betrothal gifts, we'll follow the clan's arrangement and agree on a uniform amount.
Once the person has been chosen, give them about thirty catties of grain.
From now on, the wife will still live at her parents' home, and they will give her ten catties of food every month.
When Wang Yunjuan heard that there were eight tables, she thought about it and it seemed about right.
If we count from the generation of Chi Yuchi and Chi Dahu of the Chi family, there are eight people in total.
Excluding the children born to Chi Yusheng, there are eight male offspring.
With eight wives, that makes over twenty people. Adding the eldest son's side, there are two grandsons; even three eight-immortal tables aren't enough to seat them all.
Including Shen Yejun's group, as well as her and Minghe, we'll need another table.
In addition, there was the head of the Chi clan, two clan elders, Chunxi and Liu Qingshan, plus that scholar Song, which almost filled another table.
The last three tables are perfect: three wives from Wuning Prefecture, one table for each of their maternal families!
After considering all this, Wang Yunjuan said, "Okay, I'll take out the grain tomorrow night. I'll have to trouble you to work a little harder the day after tomorrow."
By the way, don't go on a big fuss just because we're your family. Five or six dishes, with both meat and vegetables, will be fine.
I see there are quite a lot of snails in the kitchen. Should we include that in the meal?
What kind of year is this? Even if she has a wealthy family, she doesn't want to be too extravagant.
Who knows how long this disaster will last?
While others are trying their best to conserve food, a wedding with five or six dishes is enough!
Once the disaster is over and the harvest is better, she'll hold another celebration for Xiaofeng.
When she gets to the county town, she can have a dozen or twenty dishes on the table and no one will say anything!
