The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 622 Marriage
Father Wen asked for a bride price of three thousand. Everyone thought he was a lion, and Qiao Yicheng's face turned pale at that time.

But in fact, Father Wen asked for 3000 yuan because he thought [-] yuan was a small sum for the Qiao family.

At the beginning when he was undergoing surgery, Qiao Yicheng took out 6000 yuan without even thinking about it, which made Father Wen feel wrong.

Qiao Yiben was originally a graduate student of a prestigious university, and it was very easy to find a job with a monthly salary of several hundred after graduation.

Coupled with Wang Gang, the younger brother of the world champion, Wen's father thought that the Qiao family should have a lot of money, and it would be easy to get 3000 yuan out.

"Dad, your betrothal gift is too high!" Wen Ju'an said to his father.

"If you ask me, the dowry is just a formality. We Jinling people don't have a dowry when we get married." Wei Shufang laughed and said:
"The dowry is one hundred and one yuan, and the lottery is one in a hundred."

Father Wen frowned and said: "In my hometown in the countryside, the more dowry gifts are given, the more honor it will be to marry a daughter, not to mention that the dowry will be returned with the dowry in the end."

Qiao Zuwang sneered and said: "You sound good. The bride price was given to the woman, and it was held in the woman's hands when she brought it back. Can you return it to our man?"

"Dad." Qiao Yicheng was shocked. Qiao Zuwang offended someone by opening his mouth. How could the marriage talk go on.

Sure enough, Mother Wen's bad face turned even worse, and she even wanted to get up and leave.

Wen Ju'an held his mother tightly, clutching his stomach and winking.

Mother Wen stared at her daughter's stomach and swallowed everything.

"When our woman marries a daughter, she doesn't want a house or a banquet, so she just offers a little gift. Is it true that your husband is still at a loss?" Mother Wen said through gritted teeth.

Joe broke out in a cold sweat.

"The in-laws don't want to hold a banquet?" Qiao Zuwang was greatly surprised.

According to the people's concept in this era, getting a certificate is not considered a marriage, and only after having a drink and a ceremony can it be considered a formal marriage.

Look at the meaning of Wenmu, there is no need to handle the banquet, and the young couple just get the certificate and it's over?

Wen's mother didn't want to do this either, but her daughter couldn't wait for her stomach to wait. Now that the hotel is booked for a wedding, it's too late. On the day of the wedding, her daughter's stomach grows big, and her relatives and friends still laugh at her to death.

If it weren't for her daughter's "pregnancy", Wen's mother wouldn't be sitting here!

"My daughter got married, how could she not hold a wedding? How can you be a mother?" Wen's father didn't know the inside story, so he got angry on the spot.

Mother Wen glanced at her ex-husband coldly, and said, "It's not your turn to intervene in your daughter's marriage."

Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel in front of Qiao Yicheng's family, Wen Ju'an suddenly felt restless.

Wang Gang couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Everyone calm down and listen to me."

The international champion said that everyone should show some face. Wen's parents also knew that they quarreled on this occasion, and it was their daughter who lost face, so they could only endure it.

"Everyone is sitting here today to discuss the elder brother's marriage. Since it is a discussion, it is normal to have different opinions. Don't get too excited."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "The boss of our Qiao family got married, of course we can't do it casually. This wedding will definitely be held. I know the manager of Jinling Hotel well. I will handle the banquet. I can choose a good date this month."

As soon as I heard that the banquet could be settled that month, Wen's mother stopped talking.

Which mother does not want to marry her daughter in a beautiful way, as long as there is time, of course Wen's mother hopes to hold a wedding.

"Second Qiang, my wedding will definitely be held, so there is no need for the Jinling Hotel!" Qiao Yicheng said, "There are still many good restaurants out there."

Jinling Hotel is the best hotel in Jinling City, and the price is naturally the most expensive. Qiao Yicheng has not yet graduated from university, so he doesn't have much money on hand, and he still owes his brother 6000 yuan!

"I've thought about it. Nan Nan and I are already engaged, and we have obtained a marriage certificate. It's not a problem to delay the wedding."

Wang Gang guessed that Qiao Yicheng was worried about money, so he suggested: "No, let's hold a joint wedding this time. The two of us hold a wedding banquet together and share the expenses equally."

Qiao Zuwang quit after hearing this, and said: "You two brothers do it together, how do you charge for the money? Do you only charge one share?"

Wang Gang glanced coldly, Qiao Zu looked at his hairs, and immediately dared not speak.

"You know the situation at home in the south, it's not appropriate to collect members' money." Wang Gang said.

Qi Ziqiang nodded and said, "The families in the south are all public servants, so it's really inappropriate."

Wang Gang nodded and said: "So I don't want a single cent of the share money, it's all for the elder brother."

"How can this work?" Qiao Yicheng said excitedly, "The wedding expenses are shared equally, and you don't want a cent of the share money. What kind of person am I!"

Wang Gang said: "Brother, don't get excited. In fact, you may not take advantage of it. After all, there will be more relatives and friends on my side, and there will be more banquets. You will suffer a big loss equally."

Wen's mother didn't really want to hold a joint wedding, but she also knew that Qiao Yicheng hadn't graduated, so she really couldn't afford it.

"Whether it's a joint wedding, the Xiang family has a reputation in Jinling, and the guests who come will be rich or expensive, and they can improve our side in disguise." Mother Wen sighed, and still made a concession.

Father Wen didn't know, so after Qiao Yicheng explained in a low voice in his ear, Father Wen looked at Wang Gang in surprise.

"Since we have settled on the joint wedding, let's talk about the dowry." Seeing that the two parties were satisfied, Wang Gang said:
"The bride price of 3000 yuan is indeed too much. Our Qiao family is an ordinary family. The eldest brother has not yet graduated to work. It is really difficult to spend so much money all at once."

Wang Gang said: "Uncle Wen, what do you think of 1000 yuan!"

Father Wen glanced at his ex-wife who was as cold as ice, and finally said: "1000 yuan is fine, and it's not considered a loss."

After everyone took a step back, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly improved, and other matters of the wedding were much easier to talk about.

After dinner, Qiao Yicheng sent Wen's family away, while Wang Gang sent Wei Shufang and Qi Ziqiang back.

"Er Qiang, have you discussed with the Xiang family about organizing the wedding banquet together? Will the parents in the south have any objections?" Qi Ziqiang couldn't help worrying on the road.

During the meal just now, Qi Ziqiang and Wei Shufang wanted to ask Wang Gang, but it was difficult for Wen's family to ask.

"Don't worry! Uncle, Nanfang's parents are actually quite reasonable and understand our family's difficulties."

Wei Shufang sighed: "My aunt knows that you want to serve wine together to help your elder brother. Since you were young, you have paid too much for your family."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not just for the eldest brother, I do have the idea of ​​holding a wedding together, saving time, trouble and money."

The Xiang family are all pragmatic people, and they don't have high requirements for the wedding, otherwise they would not agree to Wang Gang's first obtaining the certificate and then holding the wine.

As for Wang Gang himself, it's even simpler. It doesn't matter how many times he has been married.

The only trouble is that Qiao Sanli is studying in the capital, and she doesn't know if she can come back to attend the wedding.

The wedding is tentatively scheduled for next month, and the specific date has to be discussed by the three families.

But Wen's mother was worried that her daughter would show her pregnancy, so the sooner the better.

At the Jinling Hotel, Wang Gang didn't need to come forward to set the banquet. When the manager heard that the Xiang family was hosting the wedding banquet, he would cooperate with everything, and Wang Gang could choose the banquet hall himself.

In the end, the wedding was scheduled for Sunday three weeks later. Wang Gang called Qiao Sanli and asked her to take a leave of absence from school and come back two days early for the wedding reception.

Xiang Nanfang also notified his elder brother Xiang Beibei that he wanted to come back with Qiao Sanli, but it was not easy to ask for leave at work, so he could only guarantee to come back on the day of the wedding banquet.

When Xiang's father married his daughter, he specially transferred a few cars to serve as wedding cars. Qiao Yicheng picked up the bride and drove there. The Wen family gave them a lot of face, and Wen's mother was finally satisfied.

On the day of their wedding, Qiao Yicheng and Wang Gang wore suits and waited for the auspicious time at home. Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei were so well-dressed that even Qiao Zuwang picked them up on purpose.

There will be a lot of leaders coming to the banquet.

The wedding car arrived soon, but it couldn't enter Shamao Lane, so Wang Gang and Qiao Yicheng could only go out.

When the family happily walked to the alley, they saw an unexpected person.

Sun Xiaomo.

Today, Sun Xiaomo was wearing a white dress, standing in the alleyway, as if waiting for someone.

When Qiao's family saw Sun Xiaomo, they all felt tense.

Qiao Sanli and the others thought that Sun Xiaomo was here to find Qiao Yicheng.

Only Wang Gang knew that Sun Xiaomo was waiting for him!

Sun Xiaomo walked slowly towards Wang Gang and Qiao Yicheng, stood in front of them and said:
"One percent, two strong, congratulations on your marriage today."

Qiao Yicheng said with some embarrassment: "Xiaomo, why are you here?"

Sun Xiaomo said with a straight face on purpose: "Everyone is friends after all, and you didn't notify me of your marriage, are you afraid that I won't be part of it?"

Wang Gang frowned, and Qiao Yicheng said first, "The wedding was held in a hurry, so I might have missed you. I'm sorry!"

Sun Xiaomo suddenly laughed and said, "You don't blame me for coming here without invitation!"

Qiao Yicheng was sweating down his back, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course you are welcome to come."

Sun Xiaomo looked at Wang Gang again.

Wang Gang said in a deep voice, "Drink one more cup later."

Sun Xiaomo smiled with satisfaction.
