Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 696
Huo Xi's 17th birthday was a festive and lively one.

This was her first birthday after returning home, Zhang Fu arranged her 17th birthday banquet with all the extravagance and pomp.

The birthday on the first day of the first lunar month should be a family reunion.

There were no outsiders, but apart from the family members, brothers and sisters in the clan also came to celebrate her birthday and brought her various birthday presents.

A room full of Huo Xi.

"Why did the Duke give you a golden bell bracelet? How old is the girl?"

Everyone gathered around to look at the various bracelets in the box.There is a small golden bell hanging on it, pick it up and shake it, Ding Ling will ring.

Huo Xi smiled, "Put it away. You can sell it for money when you have no money in the future."

Everyone just laughed, "The girl will not be short of money. But put it away, it can be used by the young lady and the young master in the future."

"Yes, it will be used by the young lady in the future!"

The trouble made Huo Xi look enthusiastic.

The Huo family also sent a birthday gift.

Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai felt that they had treated their two children badly in the early years, and after living a good life in recent years, they tried their best to make up for it, giving them whatever was expensive.

Knowing that Huo Xi's needlework is not good, Yang made all kinds of clothes, shoes and socks for her every year on her birthday.

Huo Xi couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

Hou and Xiao Wu also gave birthday presents, all of which were precious jewelry.Now the two of them have started a business with Huo Xi, and they have shared a lot of money, and they are both rich and spend a lot of money.

And the government of Qian State also sent a birthday gift early in the morning.Mu Yan sent a box of trinkets, various ornaments of gold and jade, and Cheng Shi also sent a set of pearl and jade jewelry, saying it was her dowry.

Huo Xi hurriedly told people to put it away in a precious and important manner.

I spent a day at home with my brothers and sisters.

It was a lively day at home on the first day of junior high school, and from the second day of junior high school, there were constant guests.

Huo Xi followed Hou Shi and Xiao Wu Shi to help entertain the guests at home, and also attended various banquets with them.

Thinking about going out soon, as Mu Yan's roommate in the future, these entertainments will be unavoidable, so he followed Hou Shi and Xiao Wu Shi and carefully learned how to socialize and socialize with others.

His face was going stiff from laughing.

I feel that there is knowledge everywhere, and it is no easier than worrying about business sales.

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year is an auspicious day.

Mrs. Mu, the wife of the Duke of Dingguo, acted as a matchmaker for the marriage between Mu and Zhang, and came to the door together with Cheng and Mu Yan.

Although Mu Yan and Huo Xi had a marriage decree, and the two families also agreed to get married in private, but since ancient times, the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker must have the role of a matchmaker.

If it turns out to be a matchless affair, I'm afraid that the two families will have trouble getting along and will be laughed at by the world.

How about saying "No cloud in the sky, no rain, no matchmaker on the ground, no marriage", if there is no matchmaker to make a match, then Yuli will be very different.

Mrs. Mu Tai of Dingguo Duke's Mansion is the younger sister and aunt of Mu Yan's heir father.

Mrs. Mu's man is also the younger brother of the late Empress Ren Xiaowen. Xu Zengshou was killed by Emperor Jianwen because he stood on the side of Emperor Yongkang. Emperor Yongkang has always treated this brother-in-law's family kindly.

Therefore, Mrs. Mu's identity is both close and expensive, and it is very suitable to act as a matchmaker.

The betrothal gifts from the Duke of Qian's mansion were carried into the British mansion, and the people who invited to watch the ceremony were stunned.

Standing outside the hall and counting how many betrothal gifts there are, the huge front hall can't be filled, and they have to be placed outside, and the courtyard outside is still full.

Blind everyone's eyes.

This dowry specially vacates a large warehouse, I'm afraid it won't be able to fit it.Tut tut.

Zhang Fu was very satisfied with the thick stack of gift books.After a brief glance, he closed his eyes: "You're welcome, you're welcome."

My heart was full of joy, this kid Mu Yan is quite good, not bad.

Because of the blessing of the imperial decree, and the fact that the two young children have mutual intentions, Zhang Fu is also satisfied with this son-in-law, and he doesn't make things difficult. He kindly discusses the follow-up wedding agenda with Mrs. Mu.

"My stupid nephew, if he can hire the eldest daughter of the Duke of England, it is really smoke from the ancestral grave. His grandfather must have a spirit in the sky and bless him. We are afraid that we will not do enough. If there is something wrong, Also please be honest with the British. If there is a request, please ask, but we will do everything we can."

The Cheng family also agreed to let the British government ask for anything.I'm afraid that Zhang Fu will be dissatisfied with something, what if he regrets the marriage.

The attitude is extremely respectful.

Mrs. Mu praised Huo Xixiao for another half an hour, which made Zhang Fu feel quite comfortable.

He smiled and said: "We don't have much request. Just..."

"If you have any requests from the Duke, just ask." Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Cheng said in unison.

Mu Yan rolled his eyelids aside, and glanced at Ying Yinggong. As his father-in-law, he is not the one who suffers.

Without opening his mouth, the old god was sitting upright on the ground.

Zhang Fu glanced at Mu Yan, originally he felt that his request was a little too much, but seeing the boy's calm sense of a foregone conclusion, he felt uncomfortable again.

He snorted secretly, and said to Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Cheng: "You all know that when my daughter was born, I held it in my hands and it hurt, and I was afraid that it would melt in my mouth. Then something happened at home, She is living outside again... I have always felt that I owe her all these years..."

"Yes, this child has suffered a lot. Please rest assured, the British lord, when Sister Ning marries into our family, we will treat her like the British lord, like jewels."

"Then I am here to thank Madam."

He raised his eyelids and glanced at Mu Yan, who felt something and straightened his body.

Zhang Fu said again: "My daughter, I wish that she would always be under my nose, and I would love and protect her. Marrying into someone's family is not as easy as being at home..."

"Yes, yes, we all understand that Yan'er must be told to treat her well. You also know, Mr. Ying, that my sister-in-law has a very good temper, and there will be no disagreements between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"Well, I'm still very clear about Mrs. Cheng's personality, it's just..."

Zhang Fu glanced at Mu Yan: "I can't bear my daughter being wronged..."

"Uncle Shi,"

Seeing them talking for a long time, Mu Yan couldn't get to the point, stood up and said: "I only marry Zhang Yuning in this life, I will respect and love her, and we will live together in this life together."

Mrs. Cheng was stunned, but she was also moved by her son's kindness.Mrs. Mu opened her mouth, but after thinking about it, she finally didn't speak.

"It doesn't have to be like this. If my daughter has a male heir before forty, you can't take one from the left and welcome the other from the right to make her sad. If I find out, I will welcome her back home."

Mu Yan stretched her body and said: "Yes, please rest assured Uncle Shi, I promise Uncle Cheng that I will treat her wholeheartedly."

Zhang Fu was very satisfied, and pointed to the marriage letter: "Then you add this one in."

"Yes." Mu Yan didn't feel embarrassed, he had no intention of being interested in the woman next to him, so he asked someone to write and write Zhang Fu's request in the marriage letter carefully and seriously.

Mrs. Mu breathed a long sigh of relief.

She likes Huo Xi, but it's not what she wants to see her brother's family die.As long as you are 40 years old and have no children, you can take concubines, which is fine.Men can have babies at the age of six or seventy.Yan'er has a great body and is not afraid or afraid.

The marriage of the two was settled in this way, and the wedding date was set on September [-]th this year.
