Chapter 1259 (1/2)

There are six dishes and one soup for lunch, including stir fried beef with winter bamboo shoots, shredded pork with fish flavor, sweet and sour fish in West Lake, mixed beehive tofu with sour and spicy lion's head, stir fried cabbage and mushroom soup.

Han Jianming looked at a table of dishes and said with a smile, ”Mom, how can I cook so many dishes today?”

Qiushi said with a smile: ”today's such a big happy event, how can we not add vegetables.” Know son Mo ruo mother, just Han Jianming's appearance, she knew it was to see this girl.

Han Jianming cleverly didn't answer, holding Qiu's hand and sitting down: ”Niang, you have to eat more when you cook so many dishes.” Qiu believed in Buddhism. He wanted to eat only vegetarian food. Yuxi still thinks it's bad for her health, and urges her to eat meat. So on weekdays, Chou would also eat some meat.

After lunch, Qiu went for a walk in the yard to eat: ”tomorrow, I will ask the matchmaker to go to the family to propose marriage.”

”Cough...” Han Jianming coughed: ”Niang, how can you be so hasty?” He knows a lot about the Xia family, but he knows nothing about the Xiang family. Even if he thinks this girl is very good, he doesn't know the details of the other side and won't act rashly.

Qiu pretended to be annoyed and said: ”what's sloppy? You will be forty-one years old after the end of the year, and you will not hurry up. ” Early married a wife, also can let her in the lifetime hold the legitimate grandson. But this is not easy for her to say.

Han Jianming did not hide from Qiu, saying, ”I've asked Han Hao to check it. We'll talk about it when Han Hao comes back.” If there is something wrong with Xiang's family, he can't marry even if he likes Xiang Zixin.

Qiu thought that Han Jianming thought too much: ”what can I find out? What else can a girl's family do to violate the law and discipline? And the girl knew at first glance that she was well bred. ” I learned the rules and etiquette very well, and spoke in a whisper.

Han Jianming smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: ”Niang, if this family girl is sweet and poisonous, it will be restless to marry her back. If so, I would rather not marry. ” Ye's tossing has already cast a shadow on Han Jianming. And because of Ye, Yunqing is alienated from Han family. Ye was chosen by his grandmother. He had no choice. This time, he must be careful. Han family, can no longer afford to toss.

Qiu said in silence, ”if this girl can't do it, she will find you a good one.”

Han Jianming said, ”listen to my mother.” No matter how gentle I am, I'm not as good as my wife.

Yu Cong's wife was destroyed because of his concubine's doting. At last, his family was ruined. With such a bloody example, no one in this officialdom dares to make the same mistake again.

Han Hao's action was very fast, and he checked Xiang's family in half a day: ”master, Xiang's family split up five years ago, and Master Wu San didn't get much wealth. Wu had a disease three years ago. He spent a lot of money, but he never got well

Han Jianming asked a question: ”what is the main life of the Wu family now?”

Han Hao said: ”Wu also has a shop and 60 mu of land. The shop rents one hundred and eighty-two yuan a year, and the food in the field is enough for their family to chew.” Under normal circumstances, these money and food also ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. But the problem is that Wu took medicine all his life. This is a bottomless hole.

After a pause, Han Hao said: ”the Third Master of Xiang family has no ability, but he is honest. At present, the household chores of Xiang family are managed by a big girl, and the younger siblings below are also managed by her. ”

Han Jianming nodded his head and asked again, ”why hasn't Xiang's big girl allowed anyone? Is this clear? ”

Since Han Hao went to check, he must have found out clearly: ”the Xiang family girl was dragged down by her family.” Xiang's family has no money, so she can't buy a dowry for her daughter.

Xiang Zixin is very good-looking. She also read and read since she was a child. In fact, as long as she lowered her requirements, she could marry a good family even without dowry. But she was relieved and asked for three thousand dowry. As a result, she was delayed until now.

Han Jianming is satisfied with the fact that the Third Master of Xiang doesn't make trouble and that the eldest girl of Xiang can manage his family. As for Wu's disease, I will ask a good doctor to treat it. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. He can afford the medical expenses. With a good first impression, Han Jianming thinks it's good to marry a Zixin.

When Qiu heard that Han Jianming was willing to marry Xiang Zixin, he was so happy that he ate a bowl of rice at night: ”tomorrow I will let the matchmaker go to Xiang's house to propose marriage.” She would like to marry Xiang Zixin tomorrow, so that she can have her own grandson next year.

Han Jianming said, ”OK.”

After seeing Han Jianming off, mother Li said, ”old lady, it's not urgent. It's still safer to be inquired about. The girls of Xiang family are all 17 years old and have not been engaged yet. We have to know why. If there is any hidden disease, it will be troublesome then. ” Most of the women in Jiangnan are married at the age of 16. No doubt about the situation of Xiang girls.

Qiushi thought about it and nodded and agreed: ”you go to ask Han Hao and see why.”

Half an hour later, mother Li came back to tell Han Hao's words: ”old lady, the reason why Xiang family girl didn't marry out is because she asked for 3000 liang of bride price.” Qiu's main idea was to smile and say, ”three thousand Liang dowry is not much.” When they married ye, they bought a dowry of 12000 Liang silver. Three thousand Liang, only a quarter of the original. But because it's a continued marriage, it can't be compared with the original.

”Old lady,” said mother Li, ”the big girls of these dowry items said they would stay at their mother's home.” Those who want to marry can't afford this money; those who can afford this money don't want to spend money to marry a girl from a broken family, and they also have a lot of encumbrances.
