Chapter 199 It's Decided
"Come in and talk, come in and talk." He hurriedly welcomed the person in.
Zhou Yuanjia fell behind and asked someone to carry the things in.
It is impossible to come empty-handed when proposing marriage. He took a look and saw a lot of things. She thought that they must have been prepared long ago, otherwise they would not be ready so quickly.
He was very satisfied, and the smile on her face became deeper.
After sitting down in the hall, Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi also came over.
Aunt Zhou didn't say hello after she sat down. After all, she had already revealed her true colors.
"Sister, our families are familiar with each other. I am here today to propose marriage to Zhou Yuan."
"I liked Xinting the first time I saw her. You know that, Meng Niang. As Xinting's family, don't worry. I will definitely treat Xinting as my own daughter and will not let her suffer any grievances."
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. The boy from the Zhou family is old enough, and he is also a scholar. He will definitely become the top scholar in the future. My cousin, you will enjoy a good life." The matchmaker helped at the right time.
Although the two families have made this clear, we can't just agree to it so casually on Xinting's behalf. This is the reserve of a girl and also the custom.
He smiled and said, "This kind of thing must be determined by fate. Meng Niang, as her aunt, go ask Xin Ting."
Of course, this is just a formality.
Everyone waited patiently and chatted, and naturally the topic of conversation turned to Xu Qingmeng's belly.
They all have children, so when it comes to talking about children, there is always endless topic to talk about, and the atmosphere is quite lively for a while.
Xu Qingmeng came back with a smile, so naturally there was nothing to say.
Mother Wang was a good talker, so naturally she arranged the marriage between Xinting and Zhou Yuanjia.
After they have found a way out, they can be considered engaged in the future.
Of course, even though Xu Qingmeng, the aunt, made the decision, we still had to go to Xujia Village.
The two families were already quite familiar with each other, and the atmosphere became even more different after they started talking about this.
But now it has been decided. It is still too early to decide on the specific date or the wedding. The only thing is that their identities are different now. When they meet, they are not as frank as before and are even a little shy.
After the marriage between the two was settled, He discussed with Gu Yunyi and decided to prepare to go to the provincial capital as soon as possible. After all, Xu Qingmeng's belly was getting bigger and bigger every day, and it was still growing. He was afraid of delaying her son's marriage.
He smiled and sent them out the door. Xu Qingmeng came out of the hall and went to find Xinting.
Xinting was in a daze at this moment.
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Qingmeng walked over.
"I'm not thinking about anything. Why are you here, aunt?" Xinting came back to her senses and shook her head.
"Everyone has left. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while." She looked at Xinting's face and said with a smile, "The little girl has grown up now and has become more and more beautiful. Not to mention Zhou Yuanjia, many aunts and wives from the surrounding area have come to our house to inquire about her."
This is what is called "one family has a daughter and hundreds of families want her."
"Aunt, do you think Zhou Yuanjia can be trusted in the future?" Xinting asked uncertainly as she stepped forward and took Xu Qingmeng's arm.
The affection was real, they both talked about it yesterday, but it seemed like the real marriage proposal was different. The pace was so fast that she was a little confused for a moment.
Xinting felt like she was not ready.
But when it comes to what preparations to make or how to prepare, she seems to have no idea.
Xu Qingmeng reached out and touched her head: "Do you think your uncle will be a reliable person in the future?"
Xinting was stunned.
Everyone said that Gu Yunyi had great literary talent and would be very successful in the future. The same was true for Zhou Yuanjia. Although he might not be able to catch up with Gu Yunyi, he would definitely not be too far behind in the future.
She often heard people gossiping behind her back, saying that if Gu Yunyi became an official in the future, he would probably look down on a merchant girl who often showed up in public, and that his wife would definitely be abandoned. This was the law of being an official, and this was why he did not show any expression even though he knew her feelings.
Xinting didn't know how to answer Xu Qingmeng for a moment.
She said her uncle was nice, but there were always rumors outside, and she was actually shaken in her heart. It’s not that she didn’t believe in Gu Yunyi. After all, she knew very well what her aunt was like in the past. She didn’t believe in the future!
In the past six months, what Xinting has experienced most deeply is that the world is unpredictable!
At the beginning, she had also thought about what kind of person she would marry when she grew up and how she would manage the household. But no matter what she thought, she never thought that Xu Qingmeng would take her out of the small place of Xujia Village in the future.
Following Xu Qingmeng to this county town, and even heading to the provincial capital, everything here is incomparable to a small mountain village.
The changes in her sister-in-law and the differences in the city made her realize that people can still live such a vibrant life. This is how unpredictable life is!
Everything in the future is uncertain, so who can say for sure?
"Is it true that even your uncle is unsure of what the future will be like? Then who can tell what Zhou Yuanjia will be like in the future? We are looking at the present, and Zhou Yuanjia is still good."
"Of course, the most important thing is to follow your heart."
"Also, your husband is just your future partner, not your everything. First of all, you are still yourself."
Xinting listened quietly. Although she didn't say much, she was very understanding and immediately understood what Xu Qingmeng said.
"Aunt, it's great to have you!"
After watching the girl leave, a soft sigh came from behind me.
Xu Qingmeng turned her head and saw Gu Yunyi standing not far away, shaking his head as if he was very frustrated.
You don't need to ask to know that he must have heard what they said.
Xu Qingmeng walked over and said with a smile: "Master Gu, why are you sighing? Is it because you heard some truth that you can't bear?"
"It seems that I just realized now that my wife is such a thoughtful and conscious person."
If Gu Yunyi hadn't heard it by accident, he would really be on the edge of the cliff.
"Don't you think Mr. Gu knows a word?"
"What?"
"Can a man be trusted? Can a sow climb a tree? What was someone like before? Don't I have to plan for my future?"
?
He really didn't know this sentence. Could it be that the lady had created it herself?
"Madam, you really hold a grudge?"
"I'm not holding a grudge, is it someone who's going too far?"
“Ahem…”
"My wife~"
"Besides, I want a man who depends on my wife for support. Who else can I rely on more than me, right?"
Going out to hang out costs money. He is a pauper and may not even have money to pay for a bun. Your wife's worry is really unnecessary!
