In the front yard, there were many people coming to Yue's family, and Yue Siyuan and his wife arrived. In addition, Yue Siyuan's brother and sister-in-law, and Yue Pengcheng's two cousins, of course, matchmakers are indispensable.

The Yue family's manager brought the bride gifts he brought from the carriage with his servants. Of course, a big fat pig tied up was indispensable. There were two jars of wine, including various colors of clothes, cloth, head and face jewelry, etc., and a total of six large boxes were packed. All the things were tied with red silk, which made people know at a glance that this was here to give the bride gift.

The three Zhixin brothers had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw someone coming from Yue's family, they quickly let them into the living room. The old man and the old lady of the Xu family were all sitting in the room with smiles on their faces.

"Siyuan, come on, sit down quickly." The old man greeted.

Siyuan quickly introduced to everyone. The two sides got to know each other and took a seat. The matchmaker read the bride price sent by the Yue family and handed it to Zhixin, who handed it to Chen.

After hearing the items on the list, Chen said, "Siyuan, Xiujuan, why do you have prepared so many brides for you? It was already passed the brides when you got engaged, and you gave more brides. Forget it, I won't say anything. We will take all these things to Jingya intact, as long as the couple lives a good life."

Yue Siyuan's wife Liu smiled, "Auntie, our family is just like Siyuan. How many things are left to him? Jingya is gentle and virtuous, a good child, we all like it. Give more things to give Jingya a face, right? By the way, Auntie, we bought a house for Pengcheng and Jingya in the county town, and when the two of them get married, they will move to the county town to live. Pengcheng has to study in the county school, so let Jingya accompany him. Siyuan and I are still young at home, so we don't have to hold our daughter-in-law in front of us. If they could let me hold a grandson earlier, that would be great." Liu's words shocked the Xu family.

Xue quickly said, "Sister-in-law, this is not possible. How can a daughter-in-law not serve the elderly at home? Pengcheng is the only son, so Jingya should be more filial to Pengcheng in front of her parents. How can the couple go to the county town to live by themselves?" Although the mother didn't like her daughter getting married, she still had to set rules in front of her mother-in-law. However, it was really unexpected for Yue's family to do this.

Zhixin also said, "No? Brother Yue, let's consider this matter more carefully. They are both still young and have just gone out like this. They can't figure it out even if they encounter something? I think they'd better live with you. Anyway, there are also beds in the county school every month."

Yue Siyuan waved his hand, "This matter is settled. After Pengcheng and his friends get married for a month, they will be allowed to move to the county. This life is just a matter of family matters, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. They are young, and they go out to do it by themselves. If there is anything, the two of them will discuss it with each other, which is much better than being in front of us."

Yue Siyuan's brother said, "Brother Xu, you don't have to persuade him. This is the rule of our family. When my son becomes a relative, he will just leave the order and move together when the old man is old. Siyuan and I came here like this. When the old man and the old lady were still there, they also had their own houses. They would go to any house they want to live in, and change the house when they are tired of living. This is better, and our brothers are closer, and they are more harmonious than those who live together."

When Zhixin heard this, he had to nod, "Since it is the rule of the Yue family, I won't say anything. Brother, don't worry, the two young people have become married, I will remind Jingya to let them come back to see you often."

Everyone talked about the details of getting married, and then sat there chatting. Xue is Jingya's mother, so she naturally had to accompany the guests in the house today, so Zhu and Han were helping to take care of each other in the kitchen. There were several nearby wives, Honglian and the girls, all of whom were busy with lunch.

At the beginning of noon, the food was ready. Everyone had a banquet in the living room and everyone had a lively banquet together.

Jinghan and others accompanied Jingya in the backyard, so they asked the girl to make a table alone, and the four sisters had dinner in the backyard.

It was not until the beginning of the day that the Yue family said goodbye and walked out. The three of Zhixin brothers arrived at the gate and said goodbye to Yue Siyuan and the others again, the Yue family got in the car and left.

When the brothers returned to the living room, Chen said, "The things sent by Yue's family, together with the gifts and jewelry sent by the engagement, were all taken away by Jingya. In addition, have we prepared eighteen dowry for the 18th? Together, we can get twenty-eight. In this way, even if it is good enough in our town, the dowry on the surface can only be like this. I will leave Jingya with 120 taels of silver. Do you think it's okay?"

The three brothers Zhixin had no objection, and Xue felt that they were a little too bad, "Mom, don't you have to do this, right? When Huixin got married, we prepared a sixteen-pronged dowry, which was enough to show off. How could Jingya have more than Huixin? Isn't that good?"

Chen smiled, "Melin, when did Huixin get married? Can our family be compared with now? The Tao family and Yue family can't compare? Okay, that's it, not only Jingya, but Jinghan and Jingwan get married in the future, at least sixteen dowry, and at least one hundred and twenty taels of silver under the box. Why did we fight for the rest of our lives? Isn't it for the children to live a good life? All these children in our family are sensible, and I don't feel sorry for spending money on them."

The old man also said, "Okay, that's it. Our family still has so many investments a year, so we can't lose money to the children. Boss, you two have already settled Jingya's dowry. It's only a few days since we got married, so don't delay it."

Since the old couple said that, Xue would not say anything else. Anyway, her daughter’s dowry is better, so she would give her a face. "Dad, we know, let’s prepare now."

Chen handed over the order just now to Xue and asked her to give it to Jingya. Xue took the order and went to the backyard. When he came to Jingya's house in the backyard, four sisters were chatting there. Xue handed the order to Jingya, "Then, this is the dowry sent by the Yue family today. Your grandmother said that except for food, she would take all the rest for you." Xue was of course happy. Her daughter had such a dowry and could live better in her in-laws' house in the future.

Xue also told Jingya what the Yue family said today about the separation after getting married.

Jinghan listened on the side, and admired the Yue family rules. People in this era will be together, and the more people there will be lively. When the elderly people hope that their children and grandchildren will be with each other, so that the family will be prosperous and united and harmonious. The Xu family is an exception. Uncle Third and Fourth Uncle will live outside after they get married, because the third uncle is in the county pharmacy, while the fourth uncle opened a school in the town. Didn’t the second uncle just have no family and have been with everyone? Unexpectedly, the Yue family is even more special. It’s really interesting that the old man doesn’t have to be with his son. But it’s good to think about it. If the son becomes a kin, he will be an adult. If he is still in front of his parents and depends on his parents in everything, he will really not be able to become a great person.

"Sister, this is pretty good. You'll be separated when you enter the door. You don't have to serve your parents-in-law, and the couple will live their own lives. Well, this is pretty good." Jinghan was really happy for Jingya.

Xue pulled Jingya's hand and instructed, "Although that's the case, Pengcheng is his only son after all, so you must come back and see it often. Anyway, the county school is not so strict. Come back and stay for a few days when you have time. How can you not miss your children when you are a parent?"

Jingya nodded, "Mom, I understand. Don't worry, Mom, Jingya will treat her in-laws well."

Xue talked to Jingya for a few more words before she came out of Jingya's house. There were still a lot of things to be busy at home, so where could Xue get free?

After giving away the bride gift, it is not far from getting married. The family is busy all day long, and they have to prepare a banquet for the bride and discuss the candidates for the bride.

On the fourth day of the October 10th, several stoves were plated in the Xu family's yard, and the chef invited began to prepare the things to use for tomorrow's banquet. There were many things to be prepared in advance, and the oil should be used on the stew that should be used. The chef led five or six apprentices to work there, and there were also nearby wives who were helping pick and wash vegetables here.

Jingya's dowry has been all done and placed in the reception room in front. The twenty-eight-loaded dowry is all tied with red silk, which makes her look very happy.

This time, Xue could not do anything anymore, but was in charge of the warehouse. Xue would find anything else. Jinghan and Jingwan also helped Xue take charge of the items. They would write down what they took out in the notebook.

All the items I wanted to use were rented back from a special place. Wenhan and Wencheng brothers drove a ox cart to pull them several times. Zixuan came back from the village and helped inside and outside. He couldn't run the Xingjia winery, so he asked his wife to come and help.

The Xu family has been getting along well with their neighbors in the town in recent years, so when they heard that the Xu family was going to marry their daughter, many people shouted that they would come for a wedding banquet. Zhixin discussed with the old man and decided to prepare a forty table banquet. Of course, one of these banquets could not be put in one group. Fortunately, the local custom is a flowing table. After the banquet, as long as the people come to gather a table, they will serve the dishes. After eating this table, they will take down the bowl and plate the leftovers, and then continue to arrange the next one. Therefore, the banquets are placed in various yards of the Xu family, which should be able to be held.

At this banquet, you can't just eat rice, but you have to prepare some steamed buns. Northerners actually love pasta. So Zhu took people to the nearby neighbor's house and steamed more than ten pots of steamed buns. "San Sister-in-law, are these steamed buns not enough?" Han said as he looked at the snow-white steamed buns on the cover curtain.

"Then let's simmer some rice tomorrow, and you can't just steamed buns. Some people like to eat rice." Zhu said.
