Chapter 154 Jinghan's engagement
After getting busy with Wencheng blind dates, Jinghan's marriage was next. The old man was happy every day. The children at home had grown up and marriages one after another. For the old man, nothing made them happier than this. "Old woman, after Jinghan's marriage was settled, she quickly organized Wenhan's marriage. It was not too young. Seeing that they could all have a solution, I let go of my heart."
The old lady glared at the old man, "You're thinking well. In the past two years, Wen Han and Wencheng have married their wife, and Jinghan and Jingwan are going to get married. Four happy events have cost each time. How much of these expenses are there? We have given a lot of Jingya's marriage, so the following ones must be done as expected, right? Wen Han and Wencheng have gotten married, so it's impossible for us to live with us? If this house is not enough, do you have to buy a house for them? After counting this, it still needs a lot of money. Do you want to rest assured? Arrange all these things first."
Although the Xu family has some money now, they have purchased a lot of land, so the spare money is the ones that Zhi brought back before next year. If these four happy events are carried out in succession, to be honest, it will be a lot of pressure.
"What's the matter? Isn't Jinghan and his friends still bringing two yards behind the restaurant, so they can just let the third brother go back to the county. Even if Wencheng gets married, the house will be enough to live in. Once the third brother leaves, it will be enough for Wenhan to get married. The family business is big, can we really not separate? We will get points sooner or later, so let's plan early." The old man was worried and said slowly.
"As long as you know what you think, you can do whatever you say." After hearing the old man's words, Chen stopped talking.
On the sixth day of the second month, just at the end of Chen, the Lin family came to the Xu family. The Lin Xing family, Zixuan, Zixuan's uncle and aunt, Erlin, and Zixuan's uncle and aunt, of course, there are matchmakers. Everyone is holding some things in their hands, and a few gifts for engagement are brought in a lot.
Zhixin and his wife led their families to meet at the gate. When they saw the Lin family arrive, they quickly let them go to the house.
Everyone went into the living room to sit down. The matchmaker gave the engagement gifts brought by the Lin family to the old man and Chen to see. In addition to the six necessary gifts, the Lin family also prepared a pair of red gold bracelets, six pieces of brocades of various colors, and eighty taels of gold. These gifts were much less than those who had been engaged by Jingya at the time. However, the conditions of the Yue family were not comparable to those of the Lin family.
"Uncle, aunt, my family's money is all over the winery, so the betrothal gifts are not satisfactory. I will make up for it when I am sending the betrothal gifts." Xingjia knew that when Jingya got engaged, the Yue family gave a lot of betrothal gifts, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"Xingjia, you're not saying this. The marriage of children here is not like betrothal gifts. As long as the couple lives wholeheartedly and don't care about these things. You are already good enough. In our village, these are enough to marry several wives. This is great, very good." The old man smiled and enlightened Xingjia.
Erlin's wife, who was standing by, took the conversation, "Isn't it? If you are in the village, you will marry ten or eight, but if you are three or five, you will still be very prosperous? My elder brother's family has been doing well in the past few years, otherwise, where would you go to get such a betrothal gift?" Erlin's wife's surname is Wang, and she is sarcastic. After both sons became kinship, the old man of the Lin family divided the family. After the brothers were not together, there were fewer things.
However, the two families have had a bad time recently, and of course the cause was the winery. Lin Xing’s family brought the secret recipe back and went to Xingye to find him. They thought that the two families would open a winery together. However, Xing’s family said that their uncle’s winery was completely ruined and that this thing was not so easy to do, so they did not agree to the partnership. Later, Xingjia and Zhixin jointly built the winery, and Erlin and his wife had been talking sarcastic.
At this time, Erlin and his wife kept drinking inside. It seemed that they had earned a lot of money, so Erlin asked to divide the shares, saying that it should have his share as a secret recipe. The two brothers were a little unhappy about this. In the end, the old man from the Lin family spoke, asking Xing family to give Xingye 100 taels of silver to be finished. Xing family was already nervous, so that the engagement gift could not be bought too much.
Local customs, these marriages must be attended by their own relatives. The family had no choice but to come, so Erlin and his wife came.
Zixuan's aunt was unhappy when she heard Erlin's wife talking. "This betrothal gift must match the woman's family background. Now the Xu family is not the same as before. The Xu family has produced several scholars and a juren, and now she has become an official outside. Jinghan is also a serious official lady. Do you still think of them as the girls in the village, and you still marry three or five?"
Erlin's wife curled her lips and stopped saying anything.
Chen saw that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong, "Wenhan, take Zixuan, Jinghan and Jingwan to the study room to sit. You juniors have something to say together. Otherwise, you would have nothing to do if you were all sitting here."
Han, who was standing beside him, also said, "Yes, Wenxing, Jinghe, Jinghui, you three should go out too."
So Wenhan and Wencheng took all the children of the juniors out. Wenhan took the boy to set off firecrackers in the yard, and Jingwan took Jingxian and Jinghe to the backyard to play Galaha. Zixuan and Jinghan went to the study to chat.
"Jinghan, you won't blame the few betrothal gifts I gave me, right?" Zixuan and Jinghan sat on the wooden couch in the study, and the two of them face to face. Zixuan asked in a low voice.
Jinghan smiled, "Silly, who cares about these things? Money is dead, people live. As long as people are good, how much money can't be earned? Besides, the betrothal gift should be measured according to their own situation. This thing is not only my face, but also your face, right? If the family is loose, Uncle Lin and Aunt will definitely prepare more. They love you so much, how can they let you suffer grievances? You don't have to take it to heart, so I'm very satisfied." Jinghan doesn't care about these things, and there is no intention to compare with anyone. If this is still in the village, how dare you think of such a betrothal gift? People should be content.
Jinghan's clear and moist voice was like a clear spring, slowly flowing into Zixuan's heart. Zixuan couldn't help but reach out and hold Jinghan's little hand, "You look so beautiful today, it's better to be like this in the future."
Jinghan's face couldn't help but flushed. This morning, Jingwan dug up early and then dressed up. Jinghan usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, nor does she like to apply makeup. However, Jingwan said that she had to dress up well today, so she put on makeup on Jinghan. Finally, at Jinghan's request, she did not put on heavy makeup, but just slapped some powder and tinted rouge.
"Does it look good? Why don't I think it's awkward?" Jinghan said softly.
"It looks good, in my heart, you look good no matter how good you are." Zixuan looked at Jinghan with a gentle gaze with deep affection.
"The beauty and white bones are just a moment of beauty. When I get old, you won't think it's good." Which woman doesn't like to talk sweetly? Of course, Jinghan is the same. She is sweet in her heart, but she can't help but sing the opposite. "When I'm covered in white hair and wrinkles on my face, you won't say I'm good-looking."
"When you get old, I'm older than you. In my eyes, you are still as beautiful as before." Zixuan understood Jinghan's temperament very well, just smiled gently, holding Jinghan's small hand with his big hand, unwilling to let go.
Jinghan couldn't help but fantasize that in a few decades, the two of them would look gray-haired and support each other. Perhaps the happiest thing is to have someone who can accompany each other for the rest of their lives. She and Zixuan don't have too strong emotions, and the relationship between the two is warm and natural. Jinghan likes this feeling, and being with Zixuan is very at ease.
"We have sex, and I'm going back to the county. What about you? You're not buying a restaurant? Are you going to the county too?" Zixuan wanted to stay with Jinghan and stay apart at all times.
"Well, I will also go to the county restaurant to open, and there are always some things I can't take care of. I will go over and help for a while."
"Okay, then I can see you often. You don't know, I'm full of you now and miss you all the time. But I really have too little time with you, which is really annoying." Zixuan couldn't help but express his thoughts and complained softly.
Jinghan smiled, smiling very happily. The man in front of him had a rare expression of complaining, like a resentful woman.
Zixuan looked at Jinghan's smile, as if he was possessed by a demon, indulged in it, and did not want to wake up. His hands had already let go of Jinghan's hand at some point, but held Jinghan's cheek. There was only a small table between the two, which could not constitute any obstacle at all. Zixuan's face slowly approached Jinghan until there was no distance between the two. Zixuan's hot lips were pressed on Jinghan's plump red lips, and the beautiful touch of the four lips made the two forget everything and just wish that time would stay at this moment.
Neither of them had much experience, but they kissed each other gently like this without any other actions. However, kissing was a human instinct. Soon after, Zixuan was no longer satisfied with such a simple couple, but began to explore.
Jinghan's mind was in chaos. She had never had a relationship in her previous life, so naturally she had never experienced such a feeling. Such a sweet feeling made her sigh, but unexpectedly, it gave Zixuan an opportunity to explore her tender mouth more deeply.
After a long time, Zixuan left Jinghan's lips panting and looked at the swollen red lips that were kissed by him, and felt a little guilty. He held Jinghan in his arms with great force, "Sorry, I shouldn't offend you. Every time I face you, I need a lot of perseverance to resist touching you. God knows, I want to hug you and kiss you." Zixuan's voice had an unconcealable passion.
