Pastoral little master

Chapter 269 Yang's Difficulty

"Er Niang, which Xiang family is it?" Wu Shi asked, with a hint of sarcasm hidden in her eyes.
"San Niang, you asked this question, how many Xiang families are there in the county?" Yang was a little dissatisfied.
The reason why Mrs. Wu asked this was because Si Zao had heard gossip about the Xiang family there when Huang Hua was engaged last time.

If it weren't for Qiduo to stop Tan Lihua from speaking, there would be many ugly words that would come out later.

But this is true, but later it was rumored that it was Yang's Baba who begged Xiang's family to marry Sandao.

It's hard to hear, it's not good for Sandao.
When Sizao came back to talk about this, Mrs. Zhao was also there.

Later, Mrs. Zhao went to ask Mrs. Yang if there was such a thing. Mrs. Yang strongly denied it, saying no, and said that with Sandao's conditions, people were rushing to marry her, so how could she ask for her to marry her? It's a piece of nonsense .
But now, Mrs. Yang said that Sandao was going to be engaged to the Xiang family, so the rumors at the beginning were not groundless, but true. It's just that the matter was undecided at that time, and Mrs. Yang couldn't say it.

Mrs. Wu thought about it carefully, it has been a while since the news was passed on, why did it take until now to get engaged?

I'm afraid it was true as the rumors said, although Young Master Xiang was extremely ugly, the Xiang family was still unwilling to marry Sandao, and looked for other girls everywhere.

Now that he agreed to marry Sandao, it meant that the Xiang family had run into a wall outside and couldn't find a good one, so he turned around.

Alas, what's the point, it turned out that I picked someone else's house and didn't want it!

Mrs. Wu smiled and congratulated Mrs. Yang, "Yo, then I really want to congratulate Erniang. The aunt just got a good son-in-law. I didn't expect Erniang that you also got a son-in-law by riding a dragon. What a joy to congratulate."

If it wasn't for the sake of the East Chamber, she would have ridiculed her face to face.

Mrs. Zhao didn't congratulate her, and looked at Mrs. Wu, "Third daughter-in-law, you go back first, let the third one go to see if the wedding cake is ready."

This is to take the Wu family away.

Mrs. Wu wanted to listen to gossip, but Mrs. Zhao refused to let her listen, so there was nothing she could do.

She had no choice but to take the gift box, thanked Yang again, and took Qilang out of the main room together.

Only then did Mrs. Zhao ask Mrs. Yang, "Second daughter-in-law, didn't you say that it didn't happen last time? Why do you want to be engaged to someone surnamed Xiang now? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"

Yang Shi pursed her lips, "Mother, some people just say those greedy words because they don't want others to be kind, it's just nonsense, Sandao's conditions are there, so there's no need to ask others.

Master Xiang's nephew is in Jiangxi, he added a young son, and went to congratulate Master Xiang and Mrs. Xiang, which delayed these days, otherwise the marriage would have been settled long ago.
Besides, it's hard to find such a good condition as Xiang's family and being an only child in the county. Mrs. Xiang is also a good match, and Santao will definitely not suffer when she gets married.Mother, do you want me to give up this good marriage that I have come so hard to get? Wouldn't it be cheaper for others, and then they will really laugh at us. "

This is what Yang said to save face.

The fact is that the Xiang family is not very satisfied with Sandao. After Xiang Erxia failed to propose a marriage, the Xiang family turned their attention to the wealthy merchants in the county, hoping to find a match.

It's a pity that Xiang Guangyang's dignity is really unflattering, and no one in the county is willing to marry his daughter.

Tan Damei specially invited Mrs. Xiang to come to her natal house for a second time, and it was only then that Mrs. Xiang found out that Tan Deyin's family had moved to the county town and lived in a big house.
After running around and bumping into a wall, Xiang's family finally bowed his head and formally proposed marriage to Tan Deyin and his wife.

In fact, a family who lived in the same alley as Tan Deyin's family also fell in love with Sandao, but Yang thought that the family had too many brothers and was a common son with no future, so he rejected the marriage and accepted the Xiang family.

Tan Deyin and the Yang family are naturally interested in the property of the Xiang family and the identity of Xiang Guangyang's only son.

Of course, Mrs. Yang would not tell Mr. Tan about the twists and turns and the inside story.
Mr. Tan nodded, "Well, as long as the Xiang family is an innocent and kind family, this marriage can be concluded. Young master Xiang is not married, and Sandao is not married. Why not get engaged. Old lady, don't listen to those gossips. The women gossip about their tongues, listen to their words, this day can't pass, the important thing is that Santao can marry well, then it will be done."

"That's right, that's what dad said." Yang quickly nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Zhao saw that Mr. Tan had said that, what else could she say.

But she still asked one thing, "Where are you going to hold Sandao's engagement banquet?"
Yang's face was slightly stiff, Xiang Guangyang was too ugly, if he came to Tanjiazhuang for a banquet, it would be a joke.

She had met Kang Jin before, but she didn't want San Tao to be compared to Er Xia.

"Mom, I discussed it with Deyin, let's do it in the county seat, and we don't plan to do it in a big way. We will pick up your parents and you and your family to the county seat, that is, the two families will have a meal together. Then distribute some wedding cakes to the villagers, and let everyone know about it." Yang replied.

"No, each family invites at least one daughter for marriage. We can't let others talk about it. Besides, didn't you say that Xiang's family is rich? Don't you still care about this little money? Then come to the family to do it. Compare Erxia's It can be done at that time." Zhao immediately objected.

When Mrs. Yang was about to object, Mr. Tan nodded, "Well, second daughter-in-law, your mother is right. This banquet should be held in our courtyard. I want everyone in the village to see it. The granddaughter of our old Tan family Everyone is married well, let them be jealous.

At that time, Erlang's marriage will be arranged, and everything at home will be ready-made and convenient.Second daughter-in-law, this matter is settled like this, you go back and tell Deyin. "

As soon as she thought that Xiang Guangyang was going to show her face in front of people, Yang Shi responded.

But she didn't say anything more, let's go back and discuss with Tan Deyin.
Yang opened the door of the east chamber and looked around. Except for Erlang's things, there seemed to be nothing to take to the city.

Gathered Erlang's things together, made a bundle, and then gave the key to Wu Shi, not forgetting to tell her not to ruin the house.

Mrs. Wu happily took the key and complied with her words.

After lunch, Yang took Qilang back and did not go to Qiduo's house.

As soon as Mrs. Yang left, Mrs. Wu immediately took Sizao to clean the east chamber.

Of course Tan Deyin's room belonged to her and Tan Decai, Sizao and Bali lived in Sandao's room, and Shiro lived in Sanlang's room.

In the blink of an eye, the east chamber was occupied by Tan Decai's family.
Erlang still lived in the west wing, and the main house in the middle was his new house.

Erlang was very satisfied with this arrangement.

At that time, he will be newly married, and the husband and wife will be alone in the West Wing, no one will disturb them, how wonderful it will be!

Qiduo's family is busy building a house, and they still don't know anything about what happened in the Tan's compound.

The foundation of the house has been laid, and the brickwork begins to be built up.

The workers who built the house had to provide lunch and dinner at Qiduo’s house every day. In order to save some wages, Xu took the three sisters of Qiduo to cook without hiring anyone. Send it over.

Each meal has three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetables, every meal is like this, and the meat dishes are all meat, either braised pork or braised fish nuggets, without any fakes.

This is the first time the workers have encountered such a good meal. When working in other people's homes, the so-called meat dishes are mixed with vegetarian dishes. For honest people, the meat dishes are a little bit more, and they are picked. There is no trace of meat dishes at all.
They were all grateful to Qiduo's family for treating them so politely. They were more agile and more serious in their work than usual.

Seeing everyone working hard, Qiduo and Tan Dejin were very happy.

When Mr. Tan is free, he comes here to hang around, check the progress, and sometimes give some small suggestions.

Qiduo's family learned from Mr. Tan that Mrs. Yang came to give gifts, that Sandao was going to be engaged, and that the east chamber was given to Tan Decai.

The amount of information was a bit large, and Qiduo took a while to digest it.

Why did the Yangs agree to give up the East Wing Room for free?And why such a generous gift?

Is there something strange about this?

However, Qiduo was most interested in Sandao's engagement. She asked Mr. Tan carefully and confirmed that it was not Han Hecheng. She was greatly relieved that Sandao finally did not jump into the fire pit.

Although I heard that Xiang Guangyang was very ugly at Huang Hua's house last time, but as long as he has a good character and self-motivated, it doesn't matter if he is ugly.

However, Qiduo was a little bit worried. With Sandao's haughty character and knowing Han Hecheng before her, she wondered if she could accept Xiang Guangyang's appearance. She didn't know if she was sincere about this marriage. Accept!

After thinking for a while, Qiduo shook her head again, it seems that this kind of thing shouldn't be something she should worry about, maybe she thought too much, Sandao might happily agree.

Tan Dejin and Xu Shi thought differently from Qiduo, they patted their foreheads at the same time and exclaimed, "Oh, I've been busy these days, I forgot about Erlang's important matter, we haven't sent gifts yet."

These days are really too busy, from opening to closing eyes, Mrs. Xu is not only busy arranging the daily meals, but also taking Liuju Erxia and the others to tend the few acres of land on the side of the soy sauce shop. Sowing seeds, fences...

But Tan Dejin and Qiduo went to Luhuapo every day to have a look, running around every day, so busy that their feet didn't get dusty, their minds were full of such things, and they really forgot about it.

Thinking about it now, I feel a little guilty.

Then the family discusses what to give.

Gift-giving for weddings in rural areas is to send some more practical things such as blankets and fabrics, and then decide on the importance of the gift according to the closeness of the relationship.

If the Wu family were like people, Qiduo really didn't want to send gifts, but with this relationship, it was impossible not to.

"Let's be the same as Second Uncle and the others." Qiduo suggested, this is already very heavy, if it is normal, just send a sheet or quilt.

"But, I'm uncle..." Tan Dejin hesitated.

"Who stipulates that uncle must give a lot." Liu Ju also retorted, and really didn't like the Wu family.

Mrs. Xu sighed, if Mrs. Yang hadn't given gifts first, it would be enough to give these, but it seems that it is not enough now.In the eyes of outsiders, their conditions are much better than those of the second child's, and if the gifts are the same, they will be poked in the back and scolded.

"Ju, Duo, there's no other way. It's hard to be a human being. Only we know whether our family has money, but outsiders don't know. If you don't give it away lightly, people will scold you. How about we give it to your second uncle's family?" Double." Xu touched Qiduo's hair and shook her head helplessly.

Qiduo understood this truth, so she nodded.

The next day, Xu and Tan Dejin were going to the county town to buy gifts.

As soon as the husband and wife went out, they saw Xu's carriage parked at the door, and two people got off the carriage.
