Back Street of Ningguofu, Xuejia House.

Aunt Xue was kind and smiled and said homely with a woman with a beaded hairpin.

In his words, most of them are interesting things about Xue Pan when he was young, as well as his filial piety and sensibility...

The woman opposite was talking about how outstanding her girl’s knowledge and girl’s redness were.

There is also a matchmaker next to me, praising the decency of the Xue family and the He family style.

In short, the Xue and He families are in a good match and are very compatible.

Xue Pan and the He family are even more of a pair made of heaven and earth. The golden boy and jade girl are the definite marriages of heaven.

If it is a different matter, with Aunt Xue's shrewdness, it is actually difficult to be fooled.

The Xue family has been working hard for the years.

But people have their own life, but they just can't see the blind spots clearly.

Xue Pan is Aunt Xue’s life gate.

Although she often scolds him for being unsatisfied, no matter how much her children beat and scolded him, she still thinks that most of them are good.

In her heart, Xue Pan may be a little worse than Jia Huan, but he is better than most people in the world...

It’s a pity that few people can recognize this, except her.

Now that outsiders finally see this, Aunt Xue is not unhappy?

Even Xue Baochai's words were strange. Why did the He family look at her brother well?

But for Aunt Xue, the He family fell in love with Xue Pan because they had the eyesight and fell in love with a treasure!

In terms of family background, both families were from imperial merchants, but the Xue family was the in-laws of the Jia family, the first-class powerful family, and the two families had a very good relationship.

In terms of family background, the Xue family has millions of wealthy families. Unlike other wealthy families, who have countless pieces of property waiting to be divided, Xue Pan is the only one in the Xue family.

Therefore, Aunt Xue did not doubt anything about this matter.

One party deliberately compliments, the other party enjoys it, and the atmosphere of the conversation gets better and better, which makes it a bit like meeting too late.

Aunt Xue and Mrs. He almost both became handkerchiefs, sisters were sought after... old sisters were sought after.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost warm, the matchmaker smiled and said, "Since both wives are very satisfied and the two families are so suitable, why not sign the wedding book today?"

Aunt Xue was stunned when she heard this, but before she could doubt it, she heard the He family's wife laughing and said, "Are you too anxious?" Aunt Xue also nodded.

After getting married, it is equivalent to getting engaged.

How could it be so hasty?

The engagement requires relatives of the two families to sit together, ask the Bingren to explain the situation on both sides, discuss the gifts and betrothal gifts, and write a dowry list.

A series of old rules, these are all etiquette, how can it be messed up?

The matchmaker said, "If it is an ordinary marriage, you will naturally have to follow the old ways, but now this is a heavenly marriage. Besides, the two families are not ordinary small families, poor families, and they also care about betrothal gifts and dowry..."

This made Aunt Xue nod again.

She has only one son, how could she be stingy in such matters?

As for the He family, she didn't know much, but since she was also an imperial merchant and had been in the Interior Affairs Office for so many years, she thought that no matter how weak the family was, she wouldn't be much weaker.

Sure enough, Mrs. He laughed and said, "This is true... My girl is very popular at home. A few years ago, the relatives at home prepared a dowry early.

Now that the city is a little wider, the lady in the house is just a dowry of thirty-two.

My family didn't mention anything else, but the old lady prepared to get twelve hulls, and with other relatives, there were already thirty-seven or eight.

Our master said that although we have a brother at home, we are so unsatisfied. We only love this smart sister, so we can't let her go.

Just follow the sixty-fourth comparison, and you can’t fool it, it must be a good thing.

In addition, a 2,000-acre farm outside the city, two facades facing Zhuque Street in the city, and a three-entry house in Jukangfang..."

"hiss!"

Even though the Xue family was rich enough, she didn't expect that the He family would have such a big deal.

Not to mention the sixty-four-carried dowry, only the village, the two storefronts facing Zhuque Street and the three-entry house in Jukangfang. The sum of these three is the prospect of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The He family has become so rich?

You know, this is completely different from the Xue family giving Jia Huan a million taels of silver.

Compared to the one million taels of silver brought to the Xue family by Jia Huan, the one million taels of silver is actually nothing.

But Xue Pan did not have this kind of contribution, so that the He family could also make the fortune that was so prosperous...

However, since the other party is so powerful, Aunt Xue is also preparing to spend a lot of money to get some face for her only son.

She planned and said, "In this way, the Xue family's betrothal gift is also..."

"Madam, wait!"

However, before Aunt Xue showed her words, she was stopped by the He family. Aunt Xue was stunned and saw the He family smiling and said, "Madam, don't be surprised. This betrothal gift and dowry are different... My master repeatedly told me before going out that although the mansion is rich, the one we like is the man in the mansion, not the mansion.

So, I hope the betrothal gift will only be the same as usual.”

"this……"

Aunt Xue was shocked again.

She naturally knew that betrothal gifts and dowry were two different things.

To put it bluntly, it is to buy someone’s daughter’s money. Even if the couple can’t get it in the future, they will not be able to get the betrothal gift back...

But the dowry is different. Although it is sent to the door, it is the woman's private property.

If the daughter is at least good or the couple has a disagreement and wants to be divorced, then the woman can take back the dowry.

Moreover, the dowry will not be distributed to others in the future, but will only belong to the woman's own children.

Even if you don’t have a son and only have a daughter, in the future, if your daughter gets married, you can still be sent away with you, which has nothing to do with your husband’s family.

When Jia's aunt Jia Min got married, she gave her many dowry. After Jia Min and Lin Ruhai passed away, the dowry returned to the hands of the Jia family. In the future, it will be Lin Daiyu's makeup.

Even if there are still people in the Lin family, they can't make such thoughts.

Because the Jia family has a dowry list, it is impossible to lack any one.

Mrs. He said this at this moment, and it is inevitable that she feels a bit unlucky.

But he added another sentence later, "I only fell in love with my brother in the house."

This sentence polished the grudge that had not yet arisen in Aunt Xue's heart, leaving only full of satisfaction and joy.

What a good family!

Although the dowry belongs only to the daughter-in-law, the future of the dowry is usually taken out by the daughter-in-law to subsidize the household income.

If a daughter-in-law wants to gain a foothold in her in-laws' home, the weight of her voice is usually proportional to the amount of her dowry and the contribution she makes to her family.

Basically it is considered as meat rotting in the pot.

The Xue family naturally would not care about such a promising prospect, but what they value was the decency and dedication they gave them!

Aunt Xue looked at Mrs. He now, and she was full of pleasure and closeness.

but……

Aunt Xue hesitated again: "The six rituals of marriage are etiquette, but they are not easy to lack. There are many relatives at home, and if you don't even say anything about engagement, it's really not like..."

"Madam is joking!"

The matchmaker smiled and said, "Of course, no six rituals can be missed... My suggestion is just because I saw that the marriage is very compatible, so I couldn't help but persuade each other. It can be regarded as adding a little more joy to this marriage.

I signed the marriage letter first and became a family.

What happened later became more and more natural.

You two are discussing how to do it yourself and how to do it with decent things!

Can you spread a good story and add more blessings, right?”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was immediately moved, nodded slowly, and said, "That's good, that's fine..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the matchmaker and the He family's wife's smile became brighter and brighter.

The matchmaker was very good at speaking, and threw out a series of good words as if he was not worth it, which made Aunt Xue feel more and more satisfied.

Just as both parties were about to sign the wedding letter prepared by the matchmaker, a greeting suddenly came from the courtyard: "Auntie is back!"

In this era, when my daughter's family goes out of the house and then returns to her parents' house, she returns to her house as her aunt.

Usually when there are no outsiders, the Xue family would call Xue Baochai "Miss".

However, when there are foreign guests, you must abide by the etiquette you should have.

When Aunt Xue's face became even more happy when she heard the maid Tongxi outside the house, she said to Mrs. He, who was opposite her, "It's our girl who is back!"

Mrs. He smiled and wrote down the name of the head of the He family on the wedding book, saying, "Mrs. In-law, we will be a family in the future. I can also meet the girl in the mansion. I have heard that the girl in the mansion is the most favored by Ning Hou and must be a celestial figure."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she smiled and nodded, saying, "Mrs. I am an elder and should meet her."

As he said that, he also had to sign.

As long as you sign this marriage letter, the two families will be real marriages.

The writing is a proof and has legal significance.

Aunt Xue also wanted to give Xue Baochai a surprise and let her see how popular her brother is outside, so she would write.

But I heard a blocking sound at the curtain: "Slow down!"

Aunt Xue's hand shook, and a drop of ink on her pen fell down, defiling the book of the Constitution.

Seeing this unlucky sign, Aunt Xue was displeased. Seeing the other wife of the He family who had a frozen face, she thought the other party also thought it was unlucky. She turned around and looked at Xue Baochai who entered the house and said seriously: "All the people who are the wives, why are they becoming more and more rude?"

In Aunt Xue's heart, Xue Pan should be more important.
