Chapter 11 Marriage
When Mrs. Li finished talking about the trivial matters of the Gu family, the sun had already set in the west, "Jin'er, I'm thinking about it by myself, mother is going to cook."

"Okay, thank you mother!"

"This child, why are you being polite to your mother!"

Mrs. Li went back to the upper room to cook, Su Jin couldn't help but smile wryly, it seems that the Gu family is quite messed up, how can such a big family get along?Do you have your own secrets?I feel disturbed just thinking about it.

Forget it, there is no shadow of it, so why bother yourself.It's still the old rules, it's no big deal to see people and know people, and to dismantle tricks when you see them.It's just that I didn't expect that I would enter the "house fight" state.

The next morning, it happened that Su Xiucai, father and son Muxiu, and the family were sitting in the landlord's room having breakfast, listening to Su Hao tell some jokes that happened among classmates.

A carriage stopped in front of Su's house, and a festive matchmaker Zhang and a middle-aged man and woman stepped out of the carriage.

Hearing someone calling the door outside, Mrs. Li hurriedly got up to answer the door.When he opened the courtyard door, he was taken aback when he saw the person coming, and he hurriedly let him into the house after he realized it.

Hearing the voices in the yard, the Su family probably guessed who was coming.Su Xiucai stopped eating, stood up, straightened her clothes, and went out to welcome her.

A group of people entered Shangfang West Room, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then began to get down to business.

"In-laws, our couple came this time for the wedding of Da Lang and Jin'er. We chose two dates yesterday, and they both felt good, so we came here to have a look at our in-laws, and let them help us. See which day is the best, let's strike while the iron is hot, and finish the marriage of the two children! This marriage has been delayed long enough."

Gu Jiahe opened his mouth first, then took out another piece of red paper and handed it to Su Xiucai.

"This...isn't this too fast?" Su Xiucai had seen the two so-called auspicious days marked on the red paper.

"How come? These two days were carefully selected by us. April [-]th and May [-]nd, these two days are good."

"But Jin'er didn't turn up until June, isn't it a bit early?" Although she said the words, Li Shi felt that she was wronged, and her voice lowered a lot unconsciously.After all, it was my eldest daughter who had delayed her for several years, so she lacked confidence when speaking.

"It's getting late, it's only a month away, and Da Lang is already twenty, so we can't delay any longer! Besides, it's getting hotter every day, and it's going to be June, and we can't let anything go, four or five The month is just right."

Mao's words successfully blocked all Li's excuses.

It's because my family keeps procrastinating, and now I have any excuses, but I can't say it.

Mrs. Chen knew that the Gu family was here to discuss the wedding date, so she dragged Mr. Su over to listen. The old couple also felt that the time was too short, but thinking about what Su Yan had done, it was hard to say anything!Finally, the second day of May was set.

Before leaving, Mrs. Mao proposed to meet Su Jin.She also didn't let Mrs. Li call, "Mother-in-law, don't run back and forth, I'll go over and take a look at Jin'er, and we'll go back and prepare the dowry."

Having said that, Mrs. Li had no choice but to lead Mrs. Mao to the West Chamber.

In the west wing room, Su Jin was in a daze. After knowing the intention of Gu Chen's parents' visit, her thoughts have been in a state of wandering, and she felt that her mind had gone out of her way.

Agreeing to marry Gu Chen is considered voluntary, but she didn't expect to get married so soon, she is not ready yet!Why are you getting married?The more I think about it, the more uncertain I become.

While hesitating, I heard Li's voice opening the door, "Jin'er, your Aunt Gu has come to see you."

While Su Jin was in a daze, Mrs. Li led Mrs. Mao into the room.Seeing the gentle and kind woman following Li Shi, Su Jin turned to Wanfu, "Hello, Aunt Gu!"

Looking at the Zhuang Suya girl in front of her eyes, Mao's heart is full of satisfaction. She is worthy of being a girl from a scholar's family, but she is different from ordinary girls. This kind of knowledgeable and calm is not something everyone can teach .

I remembered what the eldest son said that day, "There is a person, you just take a look at her, and you feel that your whole world is lit up by her."

The more she looked at it, the more she was satisfied. Mrs. Mao involuntarily took Su Jin's hand, sat on the edge of the kang, and said to Mrs. Li with a smile in her eyes, "Thank you, my mother-in-law, for teaching me such a good daughter-in-law."

After speaking, he took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve pocket, and opened it carefully, revealing a pair of excellent jade bracelets inside, which he put on Su Jin's wrist involuntarily.

"This..." Su Jin wanted to step down.Mao held Su Jin's hand and said earnestly.

"Jin'er, this is the dowry my mother gave me. I gave it to you today in the hope that you and Dalang will have a good life. Originally, this was supposed to be given to you as the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law when you recognized your relatives the next morning after getting married. Yes, but you will know the situation of our family in the future. I have no choice but to give it to you first."

While talking, he squeezed Su Jin's hand over and over again.

Even if Su Jin is clumsy, she still understands the meaning of this mother-in-law.

Mrs. Li said that her mother-in-law-to-be came from a wealthy family, and some of her "household affairs" were not easy to spread to the public, so she had to secretly concede to her daughter-in-law-to-be.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law seemed to understand, Mao patted Su Jin's hand and smiled helplessly.

"Mother-in-law, the dowry will be delivered tomorrow. I don't know what else the in-laws have to say?"

"This... It's also the first time for me to marry my daughter. I don't understand these things. We have to listen to Grandma Jin'er's thoughts."

Li Shi and Mao Shi went to the upper room together again,

After sending Mao away in a daze, Su Jin looked at the transparent jade bracelet on her wrist, feeling a little lost. Although she didn't know how to do it, she could tell that this pair of bracelets was expensive.

Not long after, the two families reached a consensus on the betrothal gift, and the Su family refused to eat the leftover meal. The Gu family happily brought Matchmaker Zhang to buy the betrothal gift.

In the upper room, Mrs. Chen nodded her grandson's nose in a depressed mood, "Brother Hao, grow up quickly! In a blink of an eye, all your sisters will be married. If you don't marry another one, our family will suffer a lot." gone."

"Grandma, don't worry, the grandson will definitely not let our family suffer, if not, the grandson will marry you two back."

Hearing grandson's rhetoric, even old man Su was amused. "Okay, my grandson is promising."

Su Hao's jokes finally dispelled the dark clouds in Chen's heart.Chen, who finally had a smiling face, called her son and daughter-in-law over.

"An'er, Suyun, I'm going to sell the old one with you today."

When Su Xiucai heard his old lady speak, she hurriedly replied. "Mother! If there is anything, you can just tell me, and my son and daughter-in-law will definitely do it."

"Since you say that, it will be easier to handle. The Gu family will be betrothed tomorrow. What mother means is that no matter what the dowry gift from the Gu family is, we have to take it away as a dowry for Jin'er, and we are not allowed to keep any of it. It's already enough to feel sorry for Jin'er, so Jin'er's dowry can only be more than the Gu family's dowry, absolutely not less."
