After the banquet, the feedback from all parties did not disappoint.
Dalang finally decided on his wife, Sanlang was not far behind, and even Sanniangzi and Shi Jingmo's wedding was officially put on the agenda, and Erniangzi's wedding...
One after another, all the big things happened at the same time.
Qiao Xin had to put down the work at hand and hold a long-awaited family meeting again!
Whenever the family needs to decide on some important matters, Qiao Xin will use this method to quickly gather family members together to discuss and make a decision as quickly as possible.
Qiao Xin glanced at everyone present and got straight to the point.
“I think everyone knows why we brought you together!
Big brother, second brother, as fathers, have you greeted your future father-in-law?"
Qiao Yunqing: "As for Sanlang's marriage, my son mentioned it to Brother Fan yesterday, and he is also happy to see it happen. We just need to choose a day and ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage!"
Qiao Yunxin: "It's a bit difficult for Dalang. Rongchang Bo is a bit vague. He actually said that he can't make the decision and needs to go back to ask his wife for her opinion!"
Xu also said: "Mother, Miss Tian's mother is happy to see this happen, but if the lady uses filial piety to pressure others, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen.
Qiao Xin was not in a hurry, but asked Dalang what he thought.
"How are things over there, Dalang? Is Miss Tian happy?"
"Grandma, Miss Tian and my grandson are interested in each other, but they are a little worried about their mother and brother."
Qiao Xin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The person's mother agreed, and the person himself agreed, but the biased step-grandmother and second uncle disagreed?
That's not a big problem, as long as the eldest branch of the Tian family has no objection to the marriage, the second branch's opinion doesn't need to be taken seriously. Instead, one should be careful about the other party's ill intentions.
Wasn’t Miss Tian’s first marriage snatched away by her cousin?
In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Qiao Xin suggested: "Why not ask His Majesty to grant the marriage, then they won't be able to stop it?"
Qiao Dalang thought for a moment, "This is a good idea, but will Your Majesty care about these family affairs of your subjects?"
Qiao Xin: "Other families may not do that, but it's hard to say about the Rongchang Marquis's Mansion.
Miss Tian's father saved your life, but the first house has been suppressed over the years. If Princess Changning's marriage is ruined by the second house, your majesty will inevitably be known as a mean and ungrateful person. What your majesty needs right now is just a ladder!"
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Qiao Yunxin.
Qiao Yunxin: "Mother, I will go to the palace to ask for His Majesty's grace!"
"Well, that's enough about Dalang. What about Sanniang's marriage? What do you think, Lao Er?"
"My son does not approve of General Shi marrying into the family. He will stay in his own residence in the capital. Our two families are close to each other, so it is better to forget about marrying into the family."
Qiao Xin looked at Sanniang and said, "Sanniang, your father and I have the same opinion.
It's not that they dislike the young general, but people in the world have many criticisms about sons-in-law who live with their wives' families.
After all, he was an official in the court, and the situation he faced was more complicated.
If the child of you and Shi Jingmo has a bright future, but people mention that his father took the initiative to marry into our family, it will be extremely detrimental to his life. There is no need for us to set up this obstacle artificially.
Besides, General Shi is alone now. If we agree to let you marry into the family, we will inevitably be suspected of taking advantage of someone in distress.
We are relatives, not enemies. The most important thing is that you two live a comfortable life!"
Qiao Sanniang: "Grandma, I understand. I told him the same thing. As long as he doesn't restrict me from returning home or going out to work, we can discuss other things!"
Seeing her calm look, Qiao Xin became worried, fearing that her granddaughter would give up, so she couldn't help but ask one more question.
"You have really thought it through. For a woman, getting married is like being reborn a second time. Don't act on impulse!"
Qiao Sanniang felt a little warm in her heart and spoke sincerely.
"Grandma, his conditions are just right for your granddaughter. Besides, we will all be in the capital in the future. If anything happens, my father and brother will support me!"
Seeing her like this, Qiao Xin decided to stop!
In the next few days, the Qiao family fell into busyness again.
The children's betrothal gifts and dowries had been prepared long ago, and a lot had been added to them over the years. Now all we had to do was sort them out to make sure nothing was left out.
It took Xu and Wang Caiwei several days to complete the preparations.
Before Shi Jingmo came to propose marriage, the palace sent two imperial edicts to the Qiao Mansion to grant marriage.
"This boy really cares about Sanniang. He actually used his merits to exchange for an imperial decree granting marriage."
"You can rest assured now, Miss San has good days ahead of her!"
Nanny Qin always felt that Qiao Xin seemed to be pessimistic about everyone's marriage.
Others may not have this feeling, but she has always been inseparable from the old lady, and she can understand the emotions in her eyes.
As they were talking, they heard a servant report that their two daughters-in-law had arrived.
Xu came to talk to Qiao Xin about some uncertainties in the child’s dowry!
"Mother, there is a part of the dowry for the second and third wives that I am not sure about, and I want you to make the decision.
In what form will the income from the Anhua County Tea Mountain and Junkang Hall be used as the child's dowry?"
Qiao Xin replied without even looking up: "Didn't we decide on this when we divided the family business? Ten years of earnings will be used as a subsidy from me as a grandmother to my granddaughter.
It has been almost ten years now, and this portion of cash has been set aside every year and kept in the warehouse.
