Chapter 220

Feng Laoer was dumbfounded when he heard it, why are the two daughters looking at the same one?

However, he just stayed for a while, then said: "The person who proposed the marriage today made it very clear that he is full of love, and he has agreed to all the conditions we put forward. We can't be confused about this matter. You can't just care about Yuanyuan's preferences."

Manmanniang sighed again: "How could I not know? But the problem is that Yuanyuan is one year older than Manman, and now that Manman's marriage is settled, but no one has come to Yuanyuan to propose marriage. Married, that Yuanyuan marriage will be even more difficult."

This is also a fact, otherwise people would not always follow the orderly rules when talking about marriage.

"Then hurry up and show it to Xiang Yuanyuan. With all the young men in the capital, how can you not find a suitable one?"

Speaking of this, Man Man Niang became even more worried.

She has a good temper, but Feng Yuanyuan's temper is very stubborn. If she doesn't like her, there will be endless troubles about this matter.

Feng's second son didn't care so much, Fang Jiahe was a rare young man, not to mention his hard work, and the aunt of an official's wife, he was better than ordinary people.

Moreover, Fang's family is not a merchant, and the money has been settled throughout the year, so the children's imperial examinations will not be affected in the future.

It was originally a happy event, but it turned upside down in the Feng family.

The next day, the Fang family and the matchmaker came to the door together, and sent a three-year-old donkey to the door, with two cotton cloths and some rice on the donkey's back.

The Feng family is a merchant and has no land, so the Fang family thought it would be the most affordable to send food.

A donkey, plus cotton cloth and rice grain, will add up to more than a dozen taels of silver, which shows that this kid is full of sincerity.

However, Feng Yuanyuan was still a little unwilling, and deliberately picked a time when Feng Manman was not around, so she dressed up in fancy clothes and went out to serve tea.

"Treasurer Fang, this is the tea just brewed by my servant, you can try it."

Feng Yuanyuan is not ugly, but this person's face is not as pleasing as Feng Manman's, and the shrewd calculation in those eyes is really obvious.

The Fang family thought that they were not the same mind, so they didn't dare to provoke such a woman at all.

"Thank you, Second Miss."

Fang Jiahe hurriedly got up and gave a half salute, then took two steps back, not daring to sit any longer, but looked at the future mother-in-law with a puzzled expression.

Man Manniang didn't expect this daughter to show up. Although she was angry, she had to turn her eyes around first.

"I made you laugh. Yuanyuan, you go back first, I have business to discuss with Shopkeeper Fang."

Unexpectedly, Feng Yuanyuan acted coquettishly on purpose: "Aniang, I'm not an outsider, so what can't I listen to?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Fang Jiahe's side: "Shopkeeper Fang, sit down quickly."

There is still a matchmaker in this room. What is the difference between the style of this second girl Feng and the girls in that building?
The matchmaker coughed heavily and hinted: "Old sister, the marriage of these two girls has not yet been settled, right? The reputation of the girl's family is very important. I see that the looks of the two girls are not bad, and I will definitely be able to find them in the future." A wishful gentleman."

Man Man Niang was so ashamed by these words that she couldn't lift her head.

Feng Yuanyuan only felt that these words were a bit unpleasant, but before she could fully react, her mother gave her a hard look.

"Go back! How can you, a girl, speak here!"

Feng Yuanyuan was taken aback, she had been favored at home since she was a child, when had she ever seen A Niang treat her so seriously?

In front of outsiders, Feng Yuanyuan retreated wisely.

The matchmaker said at the right time: "Boy Fang, that address just now is not right, you have to call her second aunt, but you can't call her second young lady anymore, you have to remember to change your name."

"Yes, my mother is right, it's because the boy is not mature."

In this way, it can be regarded as holding on to the situation.

The engagement silver was 30 taels, and Fang's family also brought it along with them, and the two families exchanged the Gengbi, so the marriage was settled.

Because Feng Laoer wanted to marry Feng Yuanyuan first, Feng Manman's marriage was decided later.

Fang Jiahe had nothing to dissatisfy with, so he naturally agreed.

"By the way, if you get married, how do you plan to live?"

The Fang family will also talk at this time: "Don't dare to lie to the mother-in-law, the son-in-law originally wanted to rent a small yard outside, but the aunt was worried, saying that we are young, and we will get married in the future, and there is no elder around to take care of us. , there are many things that are inconvenient, so let us live in the Xie Mansion, if the lady becomes pregnant and has a child in the future, she can also help take care of it."

The matchmaker clapped his hands and laughed: "This is a good thing! Mrs. Xie is kind and kind. After getting married, Fang Xiaozi lives alone. He usually doesn't want to disturb the people in the house. He can go in and out through the corner door. It is comfortable and safe. good."

This makes sense.

Man Manniang also thinks that living in Xie's mansion is better than renting a yard outside, and it can save a lot of money. In the future, when the young couple saves enough money, they can also buy a small yard of their own in the capital.

However, she was still a little worried.

"Xie's mansion is in the inner city. It is said that there is no need to choose the law and order. Do you plan to buy a house in the capital in the future?"

"This is natural. My uncle and aunt also wanted me to settle in the capital, but because I was old last year, and I haven't bought land yet, so my uncle asked me to put it on hold until I bought the land. , and it will be easier to apply for household registration in the capital."

Manmanniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, mainly because she was afraid that after her daughter got married, this kid wanted to go back to his hometown again, so what should I do?
The matchmaker spoke more directly: "Old sister, don't worry, there is an uncle who is an official. Isn't this capital household registration a matter of one sentence?"

Manmanniang thought so too, that one is a fifth-ranker, and changing household registration is just a trivial matter. Since people are thinking about letting Fang's family and buying land, they should be thinking about giving him a farmer's household, or else there will be no land and no house. Yes, isn't it going to be a merchant?
Man Manniang made up her mind, and said again: "I heard that you have two younger brothers in the capital?"

"It's my cousin, what they want to do in the future, everything depends on their own wishes."

"Then after getting married, what about the retirement?"

"My aunt has already written to my parents. I can't shirk the matter of providing for the elderly. It's just that the distance is long and it's not suitable to send food. So my aunt suggested that I can give money once or twice a year, which is convenient."

What Manmanniang actually wants to ask is, how much pension money can I give this year?
The matchmaker smiled and shook the red handkerchief: "There is not much pension money in the countryside. I heard that Boy Fang's parents bought land in the village again, and the pension money is nothing more than his filial piety. Elder sister, don't worry. After all, Mrs. Xie is still protecting Boy Fang."
