Chapter 129 Song Xiuxiu Discusses Marriage
The next day they came again, old man Song, Song Haoshi, Song Haonian and his son.

Song Haoshi didn't dodge this time, he insisted on calling his father to scold him, he is a big house with a well-established family, in the future, the old man Song would close his eyes and kick his legs, pointing at Song Jinbao to climb them up Mount Wutai, and Song Haoshi would wear Xiaoxiao and fall Ling miles.

Song Haoshi's boss was reluctant, and timidly followed behind old man Song. Unexpectedly, the Liu family completely changed their temper today, and everyone was very friendly.

Although Xiao Xiucai was not at home, his parents were there, and after a few words, he caught up and called each of them in-laws, which made the three of Song's father and son suspicious.

Song Haoshi changed his mind and gave an explanation, saying Song Haonian: "There must be a problem with the word from the second child, maybe they wanted to be married a few days ago, but you were caught in it talking nonsense, so that parents would value it." you."

Song Haonian said unhappily: "He wanted to get married a few days ago, why did he beat our matchmaker out?"

The old man Song threw his eyes at the two of them, the two brothers shut up, and listened to the old man Song and Xiucai's father talking: "Since this is the case, our marriage is considered settled?"

Xiucai's father said: "It's not that my family is picky, it's really..." He smiled embarrassedly, "My family is a scholar's family, although we think your girl is very good, I'm afraid it's not a good match for outsiders."

The old man Song listened to good things for a long time, and suddenly came out with a bad word, and he turned his face when he was not good, and said: "Children are debts, we worry about them for the rest of our lives, and we don't know what we can get, Mr. Brother, tell me the truth."

The scholar's father was deeply touched: "Exactly, children are debts. As parents, we can manage them for a while, but can we still control them for the rest of their lives? After all, leave them something more and let them live on their own."

Those words touched old man Song's heart, he sighed a long time: "Old brother is right, I only have this girl in total, why don't I want her to marry well and live well."

The two old men wished to hold hands and look at their tearful eyes. Song Haoshi coughed impatiently, and the two of them suddenly remembered that they were here to discuss their children's marriage. There is no end. Where did I talk earlier?"

"Oh, brother, I was talking about how to handle the marriage."

Xiucai's father said: "According to me, we would rather suffer some losses than make life difficult for the children. Brother, what do you think?"

Old man Song nodded again and again: "Extremely true!"

Song Haoshi suddenly turned his head to look at Song Haonian, and saw the second child looking at his nose and heart, as if he never heard these words.He suddenly felt better, anyway, no matter what his father did, he would not treat him badly, but the second child was kicked out of the house without a penny, and now seeing his father talking to the scholar father, he didn't know how to pierce his heart No?

The scholar's father and the old man Song were secretive, tried to probe, went around in circles for a long time, and finally got to the point: "I'm talkative, I don't want to be so old-fashioned, ask my brother, your daughter's dowry..."

Well!What are you talking about, old brother, old brother, what are you talking about, parents' hearts are on their children, and the family has been waiting here for a long time!
Old man Song was full of concern for his family's wealth, but he knew very well that if Song Xiuxiu couldn't get married this time, he might not be able to have any good marriages in the future.

He raised his daughter in order to marry a good family, so that she could help her mother's family later. If she married a penniless, poor and idle man, wouldn't it be that her daughter would spend ten years of idle life for nothing?
On the one hand, he felt sorry for the dowry, and on the other hand, he estimated the status of a young scholar as a scholar. Old man Song replied slowly: "Our family is only a middle-class family in the town, and we can't compare with those at the top. What's the girl in the family, our girl will not be missing."

Xiucai Niang immediately put down her face: "What other people have, you have what you have. Think we are rare? My son is not someone else's rough man!"

Xiucai's father wants to play a good man at this time, saying to his wife: "Shut up! Can our old brother lose money to his daughter? Don't say that our Rulong is a promising scholar, just an ordinary son-in-law, for the sake of the young couple. Those friendships, why don’t you love your son-in-law more?”

Song Haonian was staring at the ground in a daze, but when he heard the words, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiucai's father: This is a hint that Song Xiuxiu lost her virginity before marriage, using this matter to blackmail their old Song family, and ask for more dowry.

From Song Haoshi's point of view, every plant and tree in the old Song family belonged to him, and if more dowries were given to the girls, less would fall into his hands. It's Song Haoshi's flesh and blood!

"This is the lion's mouth!" Song Haoshi said angrily, defending his own interests.

The old man Song stopped drinking and took Song Haoshi back, "You don't have a place to talk here!"

After a moment of silence, Old Man Song and Xiucai's father both had warm smiles on their faces again, and they continued to deal with each other one by one.

The old man Song revealed: "Xiuxiu's dowry is guaranteed to be no worse than that of other girls. It also has land, furniture, jewelry, clothes, materials... everything you should have."

It's a shame to say this, but who called Song Xiuxiu had Liu Rulong occupying her body before marriage, and now when it comes to marriage, his old Song family is always inferior to Liu's family.

Scholar's father smiled and nodded: "It can be seen that my brother is a real person, and those women who come to my house to say goodbye usually say the same."

This family really opened their mouths like lions, and they would not stop until they took a big bite from Lao Song's family.

The old man Song scolded the Liu family to death, because of his daughter and future son-in-law who had a bright future, he couldn't turn his face immediately, and instead hinted that Xiao Xiucai had done something wrong: "Rulong is also a good boy whom we watched and grew up. I mean, who in this town doesn't love him for being young and sensible? It's just the same, being younger would make you angry."

If he was not very angry, how could he not be afraid of ghosts and steal people at night on the Yulan Festival, and then mistaken his family Xiuxiu for his lover and slept with him?

The scholar's father's face darkened, and he thought it was Song Xiuxiu's shameless lewdness, but swallowed it back. After saying this, the two families would definitely tear each other apart. His family wanted to get more dowry, not to ruin the little scholar's future.

"I think Xiuxiu is very good, and I sincerely want to ask her to be a daughter-in-law. Old brother, don't worry about your child, but always look at the future of your daughter—it's a daughter, how can you not marry?"

Xiucai's father took a step back and praised Song Xiuxiu, so that people would know that he had no bad intentions.

Finally, after hearing a few good words, the old man Song felt more at ease, and revealed some news: "Xiuxiu's third brother has sworn a good brother now, and he will definitely express something when his brother's sister is married. Second child, are you right?" ?”

The old man Song suddenly mentioned Chen Bin and Song Haojie, and Song Haonian felt bored: Brother Chen is obviously a good person, but he wants to hang out with Song Haojie. After giving the money, Chen Bin said: "That is your brother, but he is younger and ignorant. It is my duty as the eldest brother to take care of him for you. You are welcome."

Chen Bin was very kind, Song Haonian couldn't talk to him, so he had to say Song Haojie: "If you dare to ask my boss for a penny, I will beat you!"

After coming down again and again, Song Haojie only learned to hide from him and ask Chen Bin for money. He was in Qingliu Town, far away, no matter how much he wanted to control, he couldn't see Tian'er followed Chen Bin, there was nothing he could do.

"Second, talk!" Old Man Song urged again.

Song Haonian said in a muffled voice: "The third child is in the city these days, and the owner provides all the food and drink."

He only helped others once, but brought Chen Bin a huge trouble. No matter how you think about it, he doesn't like it. He refuses to be like the old Song family, who regards Song Haojie's behavior of eating and drinking at Chen Bin's place as his own showing off capital.

The scholar's father relaxed his eyebrows: "I'm afraid your third child will have great promise in the future!"

I heard that it was originally the second child's chance, but Song Haonian was too honest, he seemed a little silly, he didn't know how to sell gold and silver mountains in front of him, so he asked Song Haojie to take advantage of it.

But their Liu family is not stupid, even though it is separated by several floors of gold and silver, they still want to reach out to get some benefits.

Old Song's family promised benefits, and Xiucai's father showed sincerity: "Rulong should take the Xiucai exam next year, and his wife will be a well-known scholar by then. We will be happy to see that he will get a half-time official in the future. "

In the countryside, the county magistrate is the sky, and the criminal names, clerks, and arresters under the county magistrate are the most powerful figures. In the future, a young scholar will at least be a teacher, and he will be a great high-ranking official for the country people, let alone Well, he still has great ambitions to be an official.

Thinking of the future of the little scholar, not only the Liu family members are honored and their faces glow, but the old man Song and Song Haoshi are also dizzy, as if they are getting the benefits of the sky - if they want to get the benefits, they have to win As early as possible, the later the more difficult it will be.

The family thought that there would be an official son-in-law in the future, and their own family could walk sideways in the town. Who would dare to bully his family?

The family wanted to marry a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry. Not only would the young scholar be able to study and take exams, but the whole family would also be able to buy a few more new clothes and eat more meat, and everyone would be happy.

The two sides immediately hit it off and decided on a marriage between the young scholar Li Rulong and Song Xiuxiu. Of course, they both insisted on their own conditions: the Liu family wanted to see a generous dowry, and the Song family wanted the young scholar to become an official in the future to take care of their family.

The two families thought they had gained a huge advantage, and they agreed that the Liu family would call a matchmaker to come to their door in two days, and formally celebrate the same ceremony.

The old man Song achieved his goal and left with his two sons. On the way, he said, "What's the use of the two of you? When it's time to speak, you can't speak a word, so let me go ahead. Thanks to your father, I am well-informed." , make a very good marriage for your sister, and the whole family will benefit from it in the future."

Song Haonian didn't think that Liu Rulong was a good marriage, but the girl lost his virginity to him, and he had no choice but to get involved with the little scholar's family.

The matter was almost settled, he said: "Since it was agreed to be polite, I have nothing to do with you, so I'll go back first."

The old man Song was in a good mood, and he didn't bother with him, he just said: "Okay, you can go back, don't forget to add makeup when your sister celebrates."

Song Haonian said heartily: I just said that the father of a scholar is greedy for money, look at my father, he is not bad at all!
