Chapter 263 Preparations for Marriage Proposal
Looking at the humble house of Liang Xiucai's family, Wang Cuixiang couldn't help but sighed aloud.

Seeing Wang Cuixiang say this, Mrs. Zhao understood her sigh in her heart. As a matchmaker, Wang Cuixiang thought more carefully than anyone else, not to mention Cuigu was her own sister!

"Don't worry about it! My sister told me before that as soon as the marriage is completed, she will immediately ask someone to knock down this house and directly build three green brick and large tile houses. It is specified that Cui Gu will not be married. I will live in a house like this in the future!" Mrs. Xiucai said this more than once or twice in front of Mrs. Zhao, so Mrs. Zhao told Wang Cuixiang exactly what Mrs. Mrs. Xiucai said.

"It's not bad! I'm not picky! If even I think this house is too shabby, then my parents won't like it!" Wang Cuixiang felt relieved after hearing Zhao's words.

To be honest, apart from other things, the conditions of Liang Xiucai's family are indeed a bit unreasonable.

But since Xiucai's mother also said this, it means that she also has the conditions to build the house. In this case, it will be easier for me to talk.

Then Mrs. Zhao and Wang Cuixiang chatted casually for a while about the problem of the house.

"What a neglect! You are a neglect!" After a while, the scholar's mother also rushed back, and when she entered the yard, she said with an apologetic expression.

Hearing that Xiucai's mother had returned, Mrs. Zhao and Wang Cuixiang stopped talking and stood up to meet her.

"That's what you said, there's no need for us to be so polite!" Wang Cuixiang and Xiucai's mother hit it off when she came here last time, so she said with a smile.

"This is not polite! This is an explanation! We are kissing each other! You sit down first, and I will make tea for you. Don't even drink water when you come to my house for the first time!" Not to mention other things, this is the first time Wang Cuixiang came to the door, and Xiucai Niang personally had to treat Zhou's arrival.

"Okay! Then we'll wait to try your handicraft!" Mrs. Zhao, as a regular customer, said bluntly on behalf of Wang Cuixiang who came to the door for the first time.

"Okay! Look!" Xiucai Niang said confidently.

After Xiucai's mother went to the kitchen to boil water, Mrs. Zhao took Wang Cuixiang back to the house and sat down.

After a while, the scholar's mother came in with a smile on her face, carrying tea.

"I kept you waiting for a long time! Come and taste it. This is the scented tea I brewed myself. In autumn, I saw that the wild flowers on the bank of the river were all withered. I thought it was a pity, so I picked it and went home to dry it. I waited for it to be brewed in winter. A pot, it’s so delicious!” Xiucai’s mother said while carrying the teapot and pouring tea for Mrs. Zhao and Wang Cuixiang.

Wang Cuixiang saw that the scholar's mother was quick to do things, and the tea set looked like it had been used for a long time, but it was wiped very clean, which made Wang Cuixiang even more satisfied with the scholar's mother.

"Cuixiang, drink it! I'm pregnant, so it's not suitable for me to drink this tea!" Pregnant people can't drink tea at will, so Mrs. Zhao didn't pick up the scented tea, but greeted Wang Cuixiang. Said.

"Look at my brain! How did you forget this! You wait, there is still water in the pot, I'll go and fill you with boiled water!" After listening to Mrs. Zhao's words, Xiucai's mother realized this The problem came, so I immediately took the cup and went to refill Mrs. Zhao's tea.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to say no, but seeing Wang Cuixiang tugging at her sleeve, Mrs. Zhao didn't stop the scholar from kissing her mother.

That's right, if Mrs. Zhao was here alone, she wouldn't need to be so polite, but today's Wang Cuixiang came to the door as a matchmaker after all, so she still had to do what a scholar mother should do.

After Xiucai's mother brought Mrs. Zhao another boiled water, the three of them finally sat down and began to talk.

"This scented tea is really good! It's very fragrant. Drinking it in winter is even more fragrant than that of Longjing tea!" Wang Cuixiang's words were not polite. She has been a matchmaker for so many years, and she also drinks good tea. It's a lot, but she couldn't help but praise such a fragrant scented tea.

As for Longjing, Xiucai's wife naturally doesn't know what it tastes like, and this home-made scented tea is just a random gadget, so what Wang Cuixiang said makes Xiucai's wife very embarrassed to come.

After the three of them chatted casually, they finally got down to business!

"Sister Wang means that you can propose marriage now?" After hearing Wang Cuixiang tell her her thoughts, the scholar's mother couldn't help asking in surprise and surprise.

"I thought we had to strike while the iron was hot, or it wouldn't be a good idea to procrastinate!" Wang Cuixiang replied.

"That's true! It's just... just... what if you don't agree?" Liang Xiucai is getting older, and Xiucai's mother personally hopes to marry Cuigu back earlier, but she really has no confidence in her heart. , so I asked with some fear.

"You also have to be mentally prepared! I can only think of these methods first! As for whether it will work, I will go to Cuigu to discuss the countermeasures. If it does not work, then... hey ! Then let’s think about it again!” Wang Cuixiang actually didn’t plan to do it all at once, so she also had a rough long-term preparation in mind.

"Yes! Good things take time! As long as we are sincere, God will see it!" Mrs. Zhao also comforted the scholar's mother.

"Our side is absolutely sincere! But... I'm afraid..." The words of Wang Cuixiang and Mrs. Zhao did not reassure Mrs. Xiucai, but made her even more uneasy.

Wang Cuixiang didn't dare to promise, and Mrs. Zhao was even more desperate, so seeing Xiucai's mother like this, the two could only comfort her silently.

Although the scholar's wife was apprehensive, she thought about the matter carefully and felt that what Wang Cuixiang said was right. Who could understand the Wang family better than Wang Cuixiang!

"Okay! Sister Cuixiang, I will go there to propose marriage on the day you say is suitable!" The scholar's mother thought for a while, and then said with determination.

Seeing that Xiucai's mother made a decision so quickly, Wang Cuixiang and Zhao Shi were naturally happy.

Then the three of them discussed it again, and they felt that this matter should be discussed with Wang Cuixiang and Cuigu before deciding on a date to come to propose marriage!
Now that this matter has been settled, then Wang Cuixiang and Xiucai Niang personally began to separate and prepare to come.

Originally, the proposal of marriage was to have the matchmakers communicate with each other, and the man would come to the woman's house to propose marriage. However, Liang Xiucai and Cuigu are in special circumstances, especially the Wang family. If Wang Cuixiang rashly asks Mr. Wang and According to Yang's opinion, it is definitely because they can't even see each other face to face.

So Wang Cuixiang thought, instead of doing that, it would be better for Xiucai's mother to bring Liang Xiucai to the door directly.

Liang Xiucai's appearance can be regarded as good, and coupled with the fame of a scholar, it is naturally very good to stop at the Wang family!
Besides, Wang Cuixiang had instilled such ideas in her father, Mr. Wang, intentionally or unintentionally these days, so the designation would play some role when the time came, and Wang Cuixiang still knew a little about her father.

Because Wang Cuixiang was in a hurry to discuss countermeasures with her younger sister Cuigu, she didn't stay at Xiucai's mother or Zhao's family for dinner.Because she came here today to do business, she didn't even bring Xi'er who was clamoring to come over!
When Wang Cuixiang was sent away, Xiucai's mother didn't know how to prepare for her arrival, so she looked at Mrs. Zhao begging for help, and wanted her to give her advice.

This is the first time for Xiucai's mother to talk about marriage to her son, and Mrs. Zhao has never married a girl, so she can only kiss Xiucai's mother with big eyes.

But as the saying goes, have you never seen a pig run without eating pork?The reason why Xiucai's mother and Mrs. Zhao's eyes were darkened was also because of temporary excitement.

After the two of them calmed down slowly, they also began to slowly think of what they had heard about the door-to-door marriage proposal.

In ancient times, the most important thing about marriage was "the right marriage by the matchmaker". Any marriage must be matched by a matchmaker.

When the matchmaker accepts the task of one party, he will search and select based on the principle of "matching the same family".
If the two parties have intentions according to the matchmaker's introduction, they will enter the "marriage proposal" procedure.
Because of the special circumstances of the man's and woman's families, Liang Xiucai and Cui Gu's marriage proposal omitted the previous procedures and started directly from the door-to-door proposal.

Proposal of marriage is generally carried out in the morning (meaning prosperity), led by a matchmaker, the man's father comes to propose marriage, and the woman's parents entertain (the daughter is not allowed to show up).
Since Wang Cuixiang hadn't communicated with the woman's family beforehand, she led Xiucai's mother and Liang Xiucai to the door hastily. In the end, it was uncertain whether the woman's family would be happy or not.

But even so, the scholar's mother still needs to know the etiquette that should be known.

The two parties understand each other and weigh each other during the conversation, and generally express the result of marriage proposal by eating or not.

If the man is not satisfied with the woman, he will refuse to eat and leave politely; on the contrary, the woman's attitude will be perfunctory, careless, and there is no sign of preparation for cooking.

If they are satisfied with each other, during the conversation, the woman's mother will quietly retreat and go to the kitchen to cook, while the man will eat happily, and the marriage proposal will be successful.
In this way, Xiucai's mother and Liang Xiucai didn't need to prepare anything, they had to cut their own clothes properly!I just hope that there will be some good results by then.

Although she knew that there was no need to prepare too much, the scholar's mother still nervously pulled Mrs. Zhao to ask this and that.

When Liang Xiucai came home, Mrs. Zhao said goodbye and went back. I think the mother and son had a lot to say!Mrs. Zhao will not stay to disturb them anymore.

In the evening, Xiucai's mother came to look for Mrs. Zhao again. Mrs. Xiucai had no relatives or reasons here, so she could only discuss with Mrs. Zhao when she encountered any problems.

　Thank you Sisi for your support.Power went out again this morning.Tears ran.There's no way, I can only change it now.
