My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

As soon as Fang Congyun and his group of newly promoted candidates returned to Yiyang Mansion, they received an unprecedented welcome.

On the day I entered the city, I don't know where the news leaked out, so that the gate of the city was blocked by the lively people, who all stretched their necks and stared at the corridor entering the city gate.

As soon as Fang Congyun and others entered the city, they were surprised by the battle.

Good guy, this is almost catching up with the battle that year when the patron king's army entered the city.

Hey, you can't say that. How can they compare with the army?
It's just that these people are here to see people promoted and gain literary reputation?
Thinking about it is a bit dumbfounding.

You couldn't see it, all the people were sitting in the carriage and did not show up. Although the common people regretted not being able to see the appearance of the people, they followed the carriage for a mile or two, and then dispersed after feeling that they had gained enough literary skills.

Previously, when the messengers came to announce the good news, none of the principals had arrived home yet, so each family received the congratulatory gifts without saying anything. Now that the principals have returned, several families held banquets one after another, inviting their close relatives and friends. Friends came over to celebrate.

This is a great achievement, and it should indeed be celebrated.

Especially Fang Congyun, who fell in love with Xie Yuan, even though he didn't want to make any publicity, he couldn't bear the fact that his grandparents were happy, so he followed them and held a banquet to celebrate.

It's just that it's not a big deal to only invite people you're close to, and it's already very low-key compared to some people who hold a banquet for a few days after being selected as a scholar.

Furthermore, the one among them was Jieyuan, who came first in the provincial examination, so the celebration was not high-profile.

Xu Chunshan went to many banquets in succession and was so busy that he hardly even had two meals at home.

On the other hand, mother and daughter Zhang Xiulan and Xu Yinyin only went to the banquet of the Fang family and the Ye family.

Let’s not talk about the Ye family’s banquet, that’s what it was, eating, drinking, and having fun. Now in Yiyang Mansion, not to mention them, even Xu Chunhe and the others were walking outside, and everyone was holding them with smiling faces. Flattery.

After all, not to mention the level of Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion, let's talk about Yiyang Mansion, which is now Xu Yinyin's fiefdom, and they are all people who have to pay taxes to her. How can anyone not fawn over the Xu family.

It was the Fang family's banquet, and Fang Bai pulled Xu Yinyin to sit next to her. She couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and a woman couldn't help but ask when the two families would have a happy event.

This woman also asked kindly, and she was also thinking about the joy today. She was thinking about when the two families would hold a wedding banquet, and they would all come early to drink the wedding wine.

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet couldn't help but look over curiously.

Although Mrs. Fang Bai wanted to welcome her granddaughter-in-law into her home right away, she also knew that the young man had his own plans. She just wanted to wait to drink her granddaughter-in-law's tea. She couldn't care less. At least, in front of outsiders, she would not It will be revealed, I just smiled and said that I will post it to you early when the time comes.

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that the Fang and Xu families were not in a hurry anymore, and they couldn't help but wonder. The children of these two families were already very old, especially Princess Jiacheng, who was about to turn 20 into [-] years old. It's time to eat, why aren't you in a hurry?Why wait for a good time? Isn't it a good time to know Yuan from the clouds right now? Such a great joy?

There are also some people who know a little bit about it. They know that the two families plan to hold a wedding banquet after Fang Congyun becomes a Jinshi in high school. Thinking about it, it will only happen next year. Since Fang Congyun can get Jieyuan, it is natural that he will become a Jinshi.

It's understandable if you want to have a happy occasion.

Even though we have already covered this topic, we won’t say any more.

After the guests had dispersed, Mrs. Fang Bai couldn't help but call her grandson to talk about it, "Are you sure that spring will come next year? I'm thinking that if there will be a happy event after spring, I can start making preparations now."

There must be a good marriage, and there are also betrothal gifts. There was no time to discuss these during the engagement. Now it is time to discuss them. By then, the betrothal gifts will also be given to the Xu family in advance.

Fang Congyun is [-]% sure of getting into Chunwei, but if he wins the top prize, he is not sure yet. After all, this is Chunwei, and those who can take the exam in Chunwei are the best from all states and prefectures. With so many people, There is only one number one pick, so who can guarantee that he will be the only one?

Fang Congyun thought for a while and asked his grandmother not to worry, let him think about it and reply tomorrow.

What to think, he has thought enough, he wants to meet Xu Yinyin.

Only now that Xu Dajun is not here, he really can't ask Xu Yinyin to meet alone, for fear of ruining her reputation.

But there was nothing he could do about it. He went to see Xu Sanlang the next day. In the name of giving him advice on his article, he used him as a cover-up, and then he successfully met Xu Yinyin at the teahouse he frequented.

Xu Sanlang: Did you promise to give me some pointers on my articles?
He raised his head and glanced at the private room with closed doors and windows. Even if he strained his ears, he couldn't hear any sound. He couldn't help winking and laughing, then he opened the book and started reading calmly.

In the elegant room, Xu Yinyin and Fang Congyun sat face to face. The atmosphere in the quiet elegant room did not make Xu Yinyin panic. She was calm. Looking at Fang Congyun with red ears in front of her, she couldn't help but smile: "Today Did you ask me out for something?"

Fang Congyun quickly calmed down and answered, "I have something to tell you."

Xu Yinyin groaned, with an expression like "I'm listening to what you said."

Fang Congyun couldn't help but relax more. Thinking about it carefully, getting along with her always made people feel at ease and relaxed.

"I want to talk about our marriage. In the spring of next year, if there are no accidents, I can be [-]% sure about becoming a Jinshi, but I am not sure about being a No. [-] scholar. So if I don't win the No. [-] scholar next year, maybe we can hold a wedding?"

He has been thinking about what Xu Dajun said about his sister marrying the number one scholar no matter what, thinking that he will do his best, but he is still not sure about the outcome.

I thought about asking her opinion. If it worked, it was really time to start discussing the betrothal gift and wedding date.

If it doesn't work, he will definitely make the best preparations in the next few months with all his strength.

Xu Yinyin was surprised when she heard this, "Do you think that I have to wait until you are in high school before discussing marriage because I want you to be the top scorer in high school?"

Fang Congyun blinked, she had never said that, he just heard Dajun mention it.

Xu Yinyin thought for a while and then said: "I heard that catching a son-in-law has always been a good talk. You won Xie Yuan this time, but someone wants to catch your son-in-law, or someone takes a fancy to you and wants to give your daughter to you." Marry you?"

Fang Cong looked a little uncomfortable when he thought about Master Liu, but he didn't hide it. He told the matter, but ignored the fact that Master Liu looked down on Xu Yinyin in his words. He didn't want her to know this. I'm afraid she won't feel comfortable hearing this.

Xu Yinyin couldn't help but blink when she heard that the examiner was interested in him wanting him to cancel the marriage and to protect his matchmaking, "Then what did you answer at that time? Are you interested? I heard that the family has accumulated wealth for generations. Yes, the noble girl she has trained is unmatched by any other woman. Even the royal family considers marrying a daughter from a noble family as their top priority."

Hearing this, Fang Congyun quickly expressed his position, fearing that he would make the other party think too much if he was even half a breath late.

"It is enough for me to marry you as my wife in this life. In my heart, the best woman in the world is right in front of me. Why should I give up pearls and choose fish eyes?"

Looking at his serious face, and being stared at by his serious and firm eyes, Xu Yinyin couldn't help but tease him: "If you are going to take the high school exam next year, and a prince or minister takes a fancy to you, he insists on marrying his daughter to you. So what?"

Fang Congyun shook his head without thinking, "I'm already engaged, how can they force me to cancel the engagement? Besides, which prince or minister would compete with Princess Jiacheng for her husband?"

Xu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh loudly. After laughing, she nodded and said: "Tomorrow, your family will come to discuss the marriage!" Before the engagement, she was not in a hurry to get married. First, she felt that she was still young. You can wait a few more years, but naturally you have to examine Fang Congyun. How can you get married just as soon as you are in love?
After several years of investigation, if nothing else, Fang Congyun is indeed a good marriage partner.

A top student, he immediately passed the public examination, and then he was at the level of county magistrate no matter how bad he was. He was also clean and self-sufficient, never messed around, never been to a flower house, and there was no mess in the house.

The most important thing is that she and he also have something in common.

Besides, there are no parents-in-law, only grandparents. After all, they are the elders of the same generation, so it is easier to get along with them than the parents-in-law. Moreover, Mr. Fang also gets along very well with her and likes her.

Looking at the entire Dayan, I'm afraid I won't be able to find another one.

She was meant to stay in this era, and this marriage partner couldn't be more suitable. Let's just say that their future children will definitely have the same IQ and good looks.

She also believed that the person she was interested in couldn't do the same thing. At least, when he was young, that was impossible. Was she wrong?What doesn't attract him?

So, let’s talk about things ten years from now. As a descendant, divorce and the like are really not a big deal.

She has a house and savings, so is she worried that she won't be able to survive the divorce?

Then get married!
After getting married for a year or two, living in a world of two people, and having a child at the age of 21 or [-], well, that's about the same.

-

After the daughter came back from a trip, she said that she could prepare for the wedding. Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan suddenly felt a little sad.

In their previous life, they hoped day and night that their daughter would quickly find a suitable partner so that they could have their grandson as soon as possible, but now that their daughter was finally getting married, they felt extremely reluctant to part with her.

What parent would be willing to take care of a baby that has been raised for more than thirty years and is about to marry into someone else's family?

But no matter how reluctant they are, their daughter is going to get married. As parents, all they want is for their daughter to be well. How can they let their daughter stay at home and be lonely all her life?

Their son-in-law has a good eye for him. He has a good temperament, is humble and polite, and is about to take over the job of the country. There is nothing he can fault, he is excellent.

This marriage is good anywhere, so let’s do it for my daughter in a lively and grand manner!
The next day, Mr. Fang and Mr. Fang Bai solemnly came to the door with the official media they invited first, and presented the best days of the next year that were combined with their birthdays. There were three in total. Please invite the Xu family. Pick one here.

The three days are March 26, May 21, and October [-].

After Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan thought carefully, they chose the middle day.

March is too rushed. I'm afraid that as soon as the imperial examination comes out, I'll have to rush into the wedding ceremony, but that won't work.

In October, the weather is cold, and my daughter has not yet adapted to it after getting married, so she has to be busy with the New Year's Eve and other things.

After thinking about it, May is the best day, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, so it is the most suitable. If the son-in-law wins the imperial examination, he will have three months off. In total, he will be busy with the wedding in a leisurely manner. It’s great to have a month’s wedding leave so that I can spend time with my daughter!

The wedding date was set, and Fang Bai immediately took out the list of betrothal gifts she had prepared and asked the Xu family to take a look at it and make sure they were satisfied. If there was any dissatisfaction, they would immediately change it.

It is natural to discuss and discuss until both parties are satisfied.

Although Xu Chunshan is now an uncle, he still doesn't know all the traditional Chinese characters. After taking a quick look at the list, he found that they were all words he recognized.

I saw that the betrothal gift included some gold and silver jewelry, as well as more than ten houses and shops within the jurisdiction of Yiyang Mansion, as well as a thousand acres of farmland, several villages, and so on.

The bride price is twenty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels.

Looking at it this way, this betrothal gift is already quite significant.

Just talking about the bride price, Xu Chunshan thought, in future generations, it would be tens of millions in betrothal gifts. This must be the standard of betrothal gifts for some wealthy family!
The couple had never thought about whether there was a betrothal gift or not. In their previous life, they had thought that as long as the man had good conditions and treated his daughter well, the betrothal gift was secondary.

Here, betrothal gift is the rule. If you marry your daughter without a betrothal gift, you will be violating your own daughter.

They were very satisfied with this betrothal gift.

After accepting the list and sending away the Fang family and the matchmaker, Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan turned around and picked up the dowry for their daughter.

Naturally, none of the betrothal gift should be kept for the daughter to take away. If this list is not moved, they will make another list.

The factory in Yiyang Prefecture, the factory in Jingcheng, the house in Yiyang Prefecture, the house in Zhoucheng, the house in Jingcheng, the shop in Yiyang Prefecture, the shop in Jingcheng
Well, as long as the daughter buys it, let the daughter take it away!
When Xu Yinyin stepped in the door, she heard her parents grabbing all the family property to make her dowry. She couldn't help but said, "Let me take them all away. Are you taking Xu Dajun to drink the northwest wind?"

When Xu Chunshan saw his daughter coming, he hurriedly waved her over to see if there was anything else they hadn't thought of before adding, "How can we drink the northwest wind? Isn't there a dividend from the workshop and the sanitary ware shop? That's a lot. Yes, your father and I still have my salary! If we live in another place, if we go back to Yiyang Mansion, we will have the ancestral house in the village to live in. In the capital, the house the emperor gave me will be enough to live in! You don’t have to worry about us. !
Your brother is living and eating for free. When he becomes an official in the imperial examination, he can support his family by himself. How can he still be allowed to live and eat for free?

If he can't even support his family in the future, your mother and I will come to you and ask you to provide for him in old age. This son will be treated as dead. "

Xu Yinyin couldn't help but shake her head and laugh when she heard her father's nagging.

You can get a certain amount of salary by taking the imperial examination. If those ministers only rely on their salary to support their families, it would be a waste of time.

If Dong Qinghua marries someone in the future, she cannot be allowed to use the dowry to supplement the family income. There is no sense in this.

There should always be some inheritance left in the family, which can be passed down to the family.

Then he said: "Dad, how can I get so much dowry from you? I can't ask for so much, and Fang Congyun is not short of money, so he can still let me use the dowry to supplement it?"
For my dowry, as for the house, I only need the house in Qingyunfang and the house in Yonganfang in Jingli. As for the shop, I only need the tea room, cosmetics shop and Dengfeng building. In addition, I also have a partnership with the second princess. The income from my shop is enough for me to squander. In addition, I still have Zhuangzi in Balizhuang. I also have a salary, and two fiefdoms in Yiyang Prefecture and Pingyang County!In short, my dowry is thick enough, you can keep the rest! "

The annual income from Tea Man World, cosmetics shop and Dengfeng Building is not a small amount. Just counting these, she is already a little rich woman. For the rest of her life, she will not rely on anyone but rely on these incomes. There is no need to worry about spending enough money on food and clothing.

When Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan heard that she had left so many houses, factories, and shops given to them by the emperor, they shook their heads without thinking and insisted that she take them all away.

In the end, Xu Yinyin said, "Keep it. If my marriage to Fang Congyun breaks up in the future, I will come back to live with my parents!" The couple gave up their idea and did not persist.

However, the couple insisted on letting Xu Yinyin take away [-]% of the existing money at home. From this month onwards, Xu Yinyin would keep the profits from the shops that Xu Yinyin wanted to marry and would not confiscate them to the public fund anymore. Xu Yinyin knew that she could not refuse anymore. , and then I responded.

The dowry has been decided in this way, and when the wedding day comes next year, a big wedding banquet will be held.
