Chapter 180
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang sent someone to Tao's house to discuss the marriage of the two children with shopkeeper Tao. After all, they were both grown up, and it was time to get married.

The two parties were originally intended by a concubine in love, so there was no need for the matchmaker to say anything, the main thing was to discuss some rules of the marriage, how many ceremonies should be paid, and so on.

Originally, Ye Qing said it was getting married, but Fang still wanted the matchmaker to talk about it more, to find out the Tao family's tone, to see if it was possible not to get married, and to think of a way to have the best of both worlds, which can not only be the beauty of an adult, but also prevent the Ye family's It's too embarrassing.

The matchmaker broke down the Tao family's door, but the Tao family's tone is still very strict, probably now they have settled on Ye Qing, and they know that the Fang family has already agreed, so they are determined to marry Ye Qing.

Liu Man'er knew that although Fang agreed to this matter, it was entirely for the sake of the children, and she was not very willing in her heart, and still had many concerns.

Especially for important matters such as marriage, she naturally wants to discuss it with her relatives and friends as a woman, but she went to discuss it with a few uncles in the village. Let go, things are getting worse and worse.

Liu Man'er saw it, and Fang was very anxious because of this matter every day. Although she agreed, she still wanted a room for change.

On this day, the Tao family also sent a matchmaker and two aunts over, and Mrs. Tao also came to the door in person. Seeing the distinguished guests, the Fang family also invited two aunts, several clan princes and uncles. You said what you said, and the Tao family let you marry in, but everyone in the Ye family refused to agree, and this matter was endlessly noisy.

Seeing that everyone was at a stalemate, she could only compromise and said: "Forget it, let him get married, and I won't think about anything else."

Hearing Fang's words, the Tao family was overjoyed, but a highly respected seventh uncle from the Ye family pointed at Fang's head and cursed:
"A woman's opinion, now Ye Yuan's nephew is promising. I heard that he has become a general, and Ye Feng has become a scholar. If you let Ye Qing marry, how do you make others think of the Ye family?"

When Fang thought of Ye Yuan and Ye Feng, she also felt that what the patriarch said was reasonable. In fact, she also considered this point, so her heart that had been decided long ago became wavering again.

"Then what should I do?" Fang began to cry, "Qing'er is a stubborn child, if the Tao family doesn't let go, what can I do?"

Mrs. Tao saw that Fang started to play the emotional card, and she quickly said: "Hey, Mrs. Ye also needs to consider my difficulties. I am such a precious daughter, and I must marry someone else, otherwise our Tao family will be successful. Have you gone bankrupt? Although I want to agree to my daughter marrying here, the head of my family will never agree."

Liu Man'er smiled when she heard this, cleared her throat, and said crisply: "If you marry, it means marrying your son to our side. As the saying goes, a married daughter pours water, and a married son the same.

You have to know that my husband is a general, he may be appointed as a marquis in the future, and my uncle is a scholar, and he may be named on the gold list in the future. Now we have a shop, a yard and a real estate in the county, but if you insist on marrying Ye Qing, Then these have nothing to do with him. "

Hearing Liu Man'er mentioning the matter of property and power, everyone fell silent and looked at Mrs. Tao, wanting to see how she would choose, if she could really abandon all these things, then that would be fine.

After Madam Tao heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she discussed it with the two aunts, they really didn't think of this before, they just liked Ye Qing, but now they heard what Liu Man'er said, they had to think more.

Money is secondary, the most important thing is the issue of status. Since ancient times, the status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen has always been the lowest. They seem to be rich on weekdays, but a small mayor, or even The servants of the mayor's family also forced them to bow their heads and smile flatteringly.

However, Liu Man'er's family has a chance to become "scholars". If they talk to Liu Man'er like this, their daughter will have a chance to become the wife of an official family in the future. The status is naturally different. After much deliberation, Mrs. Tao thinks she should Go home and think about it.

"Even if this is married, they are still brothers. How can they be counted?" Mrs. Tao said shyly, "We really value Ye Qing, and we don't want to cause a rift between their brothers because of this matter, so I'll go back. Let’s discuss with my head and see if we can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.”

Liu Man'er said: "That's good, I hope you can come up with a better regulation."

Mrs. Tao and the others got up to leave. Mrs. Fang saw them off all the way, and thanked several uncles when they returned home. The seventh uncle looked at Mrs. Fang, shook his head, and said, "You woman, you are so old, why don't you go?" Your daughter-in-law sees clearly, when they come next time, you must fight for it, and you can't let Ye Qing get married!"

"I see." Fang said resentfully, being scolded by an old man like Uncle Qi, she didn't have any temper at all, and she didn't blame Liu Man'er, she just thanked her for making things turn around: "Man'er, today It's thanks to you, my mother is a stupid one."

"You don't need to thank the family." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Seventh Uncle is right, if they come again next time, they will definitely not force Ye Qing to marry him, but there will definitely be other requirements. You have to be steady, don't ask them to say anything, you agree to it."

"Well, don't worry, I will." Fang nodded, rubbed his head, and said, "I'm tired, I'll take a rest."

"I'll help you there." Liu Maner said and helped her walk into the room.

In fact, when she said this today, she had sacrificed a lot, because Ye Qing's marriage was very beneficial to her. First of all, she didn't have to worry about getting along with her sister-in-law.But speaking like this now, when the time comes, there will be an extra sister-in-law and a bunch of difficult relatives, and the property she has worked so hard for in the future will be distributed to Ye Qing's family.

But if that's the case, she doesn't have any complaints, as long as the family can be happy together, she is the elder sister-in-law, so she will let them have a little bit in the future, anyway, they live their own lives, and it won't hinder her.

Well, it still depends on the choice of shopkeeper Tao's family, but money and power move people's hearts, she believes they will make a correct choice.

Sure enough, within a few days, the Tao family sent a matchmaker over again, and asked Fang Shi to go over and talk, and Fang Shi took Liu Man'er to visit.

This time, shopkeeper Tao's family was quite enthusiastic, and they even let Ye Qing go on vacation, asking Ye Qing to come over and listen.

Entering the flower hall, Liu Man'er and Fang Shi sat on both sides, while Ye Qing sat at the bottom, today's discussion is about his marriage, the elders decide, he has no right to speak.

As soon as she was seated, a pretty servant girl came forward and put the tea on the rosewood carved table. Shopkeeper Tao raised her glass to signal for everyone to drink tea, and Liu Man'er heard the sound of the bead curtain behind her, very lightly, But it did not escape her ears.

She knew in her heart that Tao Cuiya must be eavesdropping, but she didn't care, she just played with the empty cup in her hand.

"I also know Mrs. Ye's concerns. This name is really not nice." Putting down the teacup, shopkeeper Tao stood on Fang's side to think about it, and said, "For the sake of my two children, I must let him marry. Yes, but last night I thought and thought, tossed and turned, and I finally felt that what I did was really a little unreasonable."

It's good that you know.Liu Man'er thought inwardly, but she didn't say a word on the surface, waiting for shopkeeper Tao's next words.

Shopkeeper Tao continued to say: "Madam Ye, I can keep Ye Qing from getting married, but you must agree to a few requirements."

"What request?" Fang finally heard shopkeeper Tao let go, and at this moment she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"I promised to let Cui Ya marry to your Ye family, and the wedding will be held at Ye's house, but in the future, the two of them must live in Tao's house, and one of the children they give birth to must be named Tao. This is a small requirement. Madam Ye, do you agree?"

"I agree." When Fang heard this, she agreed without thinking. Compared with marrying a married woman, this small request is nothing at all. Anyway, none of her children are with her now.

"Also, since he is no longer married, Ye Qing is still your child, so he naturally wants to share honor and disgrace with you. One of his children, even though his surname is Tao, you can't treat him differently because of that. Can you agree to this?" Shopkeeper Tao said again.

"Don't worry about this, I will naturally love my grandson very much. You must have heard about who I am. I will never do things that treat my grandson and daughter-in-law harshly." Fang said quickly.

"Well, that's good." Upon hearing Fang's promise, shopkeeper Tao nodded with a smile, and said, "Then it's settled. In the future, my restaurant will be my daughter's dowry and her private property."

"You can rest assured about this. Although our Ye family is not rich, we will not covet our daughter-in-law's dowry." Fang promised again.

Liu Man'er sneered from the side, she was indeed a businessman, she only felt that shopkeeper Tao was treacherous and cunning, and what he said about sharing honor and disgrace actually meant that he wanted to take advantage of the Ye family, and what he said about the dowry actually meant that the property of the Tao family was You don't want to.

"If Mrs. Ye agrees these few days, then we can settle this matter." Shopkeeper Tao and his wife looked at each other, very satisfied with this matter, even better than letting Ye Qing marry.

"If that's the case, please give me Miss Tao's horoscope, so I can go to the master to have a look, and choose an auspicious day, so that I can give the betrothal gift. What do you think?" Fang suggested.

"That's very good." The shopkeeper Tao said with his eyes to signal Mrs. Tao, and Mrs. Tao smiled and handed Miss Tao's horoscope to Mrs. Fang from her sleeve pocket.

Fang stretched out his hand to take it, and both of them had smiles on their faces. They were very satisfied with this negotiation. In Fang's opinion, it was the best condition not to marry into a marriage. Yes, and they can also get extra dowry and other benefits, it's a multiplicity of things.

Liu Man'er doesn't care, anyway, she can still afford some betrothal gifts. As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure, they are all Ye Yuan's brothers, as long as they don't cheat, it's good for them to take advantage of it and take advantage of it. Why not.
