Liu Ruolan went to the banquet because she wanted to see for herself what Miss Chen was like.

It stands to reason that County Magistrate Chen is only a sixth-grade servant now. If his daughter marries Xie Ronghui, she will be marrying high.

It's just that others don't know, but Liu Ruolan knows that although Xie Ronghui is the eldest son, it will be Xie Ronglang who will inherit the family property in the future. From this point of view, it seems that the Chen family's daughter does not take much advantage of marrying.

The county magistrate's daughter, Chen Jiaojiao, is good-looking and has a gentle and generous temperament. She should follow Mrs. Chen.

"Jiaojiao, my daughter is lively and active, and I have to trouble you to take her outside for a walk, so that she won't come to trouble me again later."

Chen Jiaojiao's face turned red. Knowing that this was the elders' serious business, she resigned and took Xie Rongzhao away with her.

With the children gone and all the servants sent outside, Liu Ruolan got down to business.

"To tell you the truth, Mrs. Chen, although brother Hui is my eldest son, he was not born to me and the master. He was adopted from the house of Xie's parents. Because the fate of this child is incompatible with that of my elder brother, this is the reason why he is born." Adopted into our name."

Mrs. Chen nodded. She had heard about this matter before, so it was not surprising.

"I have two sons and one daughter, and only Zhaozhao is my own. As for Brother Lang, he is a poor child. He lost his parents at a young age. His relatives treated him harshly, and he was later adopted by the clan elders. Gave it to us.”

"Young master is young and handsome, I have seen it before."

"To tell the truth, Mrs. Chen, I am very satisfied with Jiaojiao, and I also asked Brother Hui before I came here. He also meant that our elders should make the decision."

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed. Being able to say such words meant that Xie Ronghui was also satisfied.

"I thought that since I want to be friends with Qin Jin, I have to make some things clear. I don't want to have to complain about you again in the future."

"Madam Xie, please speak."

After Liu Ruolan considered it for a moment, she lowered her voice: "Because Brother Hui is the eldest son of the eldest son, he will definitely inherit the eldest son's family business in the future. As for our family, most of the family property will be owned by him in the future. The younger son will inherit."

Mrs. Chen thought it was some big deal, but it was just an external thing, and she didn't care.

"My uncle is currently serving the two elders at home. Most of the property of the father-in-law and mother-in-law will be inherited by the eldest house in the future. Compared with the nobles in Beijing. I made this matter clear in advance, and I also hope that after Mrs. Chen discusses it with Mr. Chen, if there is no objection, we can discuss the matter of engagement."

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie is worrying too much. I have no objection. I think my husband can understand."

"Well, children's marriage is also a big event, so I'll just wait for good news from my sister."

Liu Ruolan saw that Mrs. Chen had a straightforward personality, so she became more familiar with this title.

Mrs. Chen was in a very good mood, and pulled her to say some homely things. When she left, she prepared a lot of pastries for them to take back.

Chen Jiaojiao personally sent the man into the carriage, and when she turned around, she met her mother's smiling eyes.

"Auntie!" Chen Jiaojiao blushed, but the corners of her mouth were curled up.

"My dear girl, come on, let's talk."

On the other side, Liu Ruolan also asked her daughter in the carriage: "What do you think of this Chen Jiaojiao?"

"Sister Chen is very nice. She looks good and has a good temper. If she is my elder sister-in-law, we will be able to get along in harmony in the future."

Liu Ruolan smiled with satisfaction.

She fell in love with Chen Jiaojiao, firstly because she thought the child had a good temperament and good character; secondly, she also fell in love with the Chen family’s tutor. Neither County Magistrate Chen nor Mrs. Chen were the scheming people. Only the children born will be open-minded.

Ultimately, Liu Ruolan was worried that her daughter would be wronged in the future.

Outsiders see that she has two sons and a daughter under her knees, and she will surely enjoy happiness in the future.

But in fact, she was worried.

Xie Rongzhao didn't have any brothers to help, if they left in the future, and there was a mean sister-in-law, then her daughter's life would definitely not be easy.

Liu Ruolan told Xie Xiuwen about Chen Jiaojiao at night, but he didn't have any objections.

Since it was decided to send Xie Ronghui to County Magistrate Chen, it was enough to show Xie Xiuwen's trust in County Magistrate Chen.

Soon, taking advantage of their free time, the two quickly finalized the wedding date and related matters.

Liu Ruolan and Mrs. Chen agreed that when they returned to the capital, they would specially ask Mrs. Wei Xinhou to be the matchmaker and give the Chen family girls face.

Nowadays, it is fashionable to get married with a small ceremony.

In fact, this small engagement ceremony is a gift to the woman after the wedding date is set.

As for the bride price, some people don’t pay much attention to it, so they have to give it early, because many people marry their daughters and count on a generous gift to support their family, so they usually ask for it when they are young.

Fang Jiahe and Feng Manman should have given them a small wedding gift at the beginning, but Manmanniang deliberately made things difficult for them, so they just gave them the betrothal gift and other gifts.

And people with a certain status will clearly distinguish between the small betrothal and the betrothal gift, and no one can say that they don't understand the rules.

Xie Xiuwen stayed with his family in Fuyuan Villa for ten days, and even if he wanted the comfort here, he had to go back to the capital.

It was only at this time that Xie Xiuwen remembered that he had changed his office and even his official robes, so he had to go and say hello to Mr. Zuopushe early.

Xie Ronghui's marriage was arranged by Liu Ruolan.

The small ceremony was also well prepared.

In addition to the small deposit of 88 taels, there is also a complete set of jewelry, and other brocades, cottons, candies, etc. are naturally not left behind.

Liu Ruolan indeed invited Gao to help protect the media, so she made a special trip to the Fengxian County Government for this purpose. The lively scene that day made many people in the county envious.

Xie Ronghui's marriage was settled, so naturally he had to write a letter back to his hometown to report to the old man.

Xie Xiuwen could probably guess what his father was thinking, so he wrote this letter.

The letter not only explained that Chen Jiaojiao's father was a sixth-rank official, but also mentioned that Chen Jiaojiao's father should be promoted this year. As for whether he is a sixth-rank official or a fifth-rank official, it is currently undecided.

Not only that, Xie Xiuwen also gave a brief introduction to the power of the Chen family, for example, the old man of the Chen family is now an official of the third rank, Chen Jiaojiao also has an uncle who is serving as the governor outside, and so on.

He spoke in such detail because he was worried that the old man would be dissatisfied with this marriage.

As Xie Xiuwen expected, as soon as the grandpa in his hometown received the letter, he frowned as soon as he read the beginning, and slowly relaxed it when he saw the back.

"Well, that's right. The eldest grandson of my Xie family deserves to marry a wife like this. The prosperity of my Xie family in the future will depend on their father and son."
