Chapter 120: Xiaoqiao’s Engagement (5)
After hearing this sentence, Mrs. Li looked at her girl waving her small fist and pretending to be fierce, smiled "puchi", and said angrily: "You haven't married yet, and you just want your father to clean up the house. If that child Xuewen finds out, would he still dare to marry you? Every girl should be gentle, you know?"

Lin Xiaoqiao also didn't agree to Li Shi's preaching, but stuck to Li Shi's body and entangled with her. The mother and daughter quarreled for a long time before they stopped.

This conversation about Lin Xiaoqiao's lifelong event ended in Lin Xiaoqiao's laughing and joking...

As for Li Shi and Widow Zheng, they gathered together from time to time to discuss and chat, and finally chose a date, October [-]th, when the two families made an agreement and formally engaged.

Before this, the two mothers had already exchanged Geng Tie, each took it to the town, and found a fortune-teller to get married, and the result was naturally auspicious, no problem.

After the auspicious date was set, Widow Zheng took Mrs. Li with her for the past few days, and the two often went to the town together to buy things.

In fact, it stands to reason that Widow Zheng shouldn't have brought the woman's mother, Li Shi, to buy these things for engagement, but Widow Zheng stayed at home and didn't come out very often, and she was always quiet. She doesn't have much contact with the women in the village, and she doesn't have any acquaintances in Anping Town. What's more, she doesn't know much about the customs here, so she can only bring this Mrs. Li together to buy.

And Mrs. Li is also a talkative and considerate person, so she happily accompanied Widow Zheng to buy things for her engagement, and also told her the customs here one by one, and Mrs. Li was in the process of buying. , that earnestness is not inferior to Widow Zheng's at all. For her, after all, this is also a major event for her little girl's engagement.

On the twelfth day of October, Mrs. Li cleaned up the house early, waiting for Widow Zheng and her son to come to the door to complete today's engagement ceremony.

Moreover, Mrs. Li brought her parents, that is, Lin Xiaoqiao's grandparents, over yesterday, and asked them to come and see her granddaughter's engagement.

In fact, according to the etiquette, Lin Xiaoqiao's grandparents should also be present to watch the granddaughter's engagement, which also represents the blessings of the two old people for their children and granddaughters.

However, after discussing with the family, Mrs. Li decided not to invite Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Lin, so as not to cause any trouble. Anyway, Ms. Zhou and Mr. Lin had never met Lin Xiaoqiao before.

As for the people who are going to be engaged today, Lin Xiaoqiao and Chen Xuewen, these two people naturally cannot be absent. Chen Xuewen came back from school on special leave today, and Lin Xiaoqiao was also dressed up by Mrs. Li long ago. Putting on the new clothes, Li Shi still combed her hair in a small bun on her small head.

The two brothers, Dalang and Erlang, also asked their husband for a day off yesterday, in order to attend their younger sister's engagement ceremony. For these two brothers, this is something they must not miss.

In the morning, the Lin family had breakfast and were sitting in the main room drinking tea and chatting. Mrs. Li had just packed up and sat down to rest. Widow Zheng came to the door with a matchmaker, and Chen Xuewen brought some pastries and some cloth items. Follow behind the two.

As soon as the matchmaker came to the door, looking at the high-walled and spacious courtyard of the Lin family, she knew in her heart that there would definitely be a lot of money for the wedding today, so she didn't want to be greeted by the host at all, so she yelled out by herself. Congratulations came: "Oh, this is Mrs. Li! I congratulate you in advance. This Chen Xiucai is an outstanding person in all over the world, and Mrs. Li's daughter is also pretty and lovely, well-behaved and capable. People can be together, it is really a match made in heaven, golden boy and jade girl!"

Hearing these auspicious compliments, Mrs. Li felt at ease, and with a smile on her face, she said modestly: "Where is that? I accept your good words, hurry up and drink some tea in the house!"

So, a group of people came to the main room, sat down and drank some tea, the matchmaker also knew what was going on today, so after taking a sip of tea, she said: "This is what the Lin and Chen families made." All the elders, relatives and friends are witnesses, and first of all, we have to exchange the Geng Tie of the two families."

This time the so-called exchanging geng posts is a more formal engagement ceremony. Last time, the two families only exchanged the birth date of the child, but today it is different. Therefore, Li Shi and Zheng Widow are also more solemn Yes, take out the Geng Posts of their respective children, and after the exchange, they must keep each other.

After exchanging Geng posts, Widow Zheng took out a marriage certificate and handed it to Mrs. Li, with the fingerprints of both parents and the matchmaker on the marriage certificate.

This marriage certificate is a representative, and Lin Xiaoqiao will be the daughter-in-law of their Chen family from now on.

Next, the key character, Lin Xiaoqiao will appear, because she still has to accept Chen Xuewen's mother, Widow Zheng's appointment.

Originally, as a girl who was going to be engaged today, she couldn't just show up casually, so she was always accompanied by her sister Lin Xiaoxi and stayed in her own room.

As for the next intercourse, she had no choice but to come out, because only after the intercourse was completed, could it represent that her daughter-in-law was truly accepted by the Chen family.

As soon as Lin Xiaoqiao stepped into the main room, he saw that the room was full. When the matchmaker saw Lin Xiaoqiao and looked at the red dress she was wearing, she knew that this little girl was the one who was engaged today. people.

So, she immediately exaggerated and praised: "Oh, this girl is really juicy and beautiful. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl! It's a perfect match with this Chen Xiucai. It is really comparable to the golden boy and jade girl under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva! This marriage is really suitable!"

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard the exaggerated and sharp voice at first, he almost retracted the foot that stepped in, and then looked at the person's appearance, she was a matchmaker, no wonder the nice words slipped away Slipping, jumping out as if you don't want money.

Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly wanted to laugh, this was the first time she saw the legendary matchmaker, her dress, her tone of voice were really similar to what she had seen on TV before!

After this came out, the tension in her heart disappeared, so she calmly walked to the middle of the main room, said hello to everyone, and then sat down.

At this time, the matchmaker said happily again: "Now that the girl is here, let's start making arrangements!"

At this moment, Widow Zheng beckoned, calling Lin Xiaoqiao to her, took out a golden hairpin from her sleeve, and inserted it into Li Shi's bun for Lin Xiaoqiao today.

As soon as the golden hairpin came out, everyone gasped, this hairpin was so beautiful, Li Shi looked at the hairpin, and was a little surprised.
