Chapter 762 Congratulations (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)

Master Cheng felt the enthusiasm of Xiaoan Village.

As soon as we crossed the big stone bridge, we met a villager who kindly led the way.

Once we entered the village, there were even more people.

The matchmaker invited by the Cheng family sat in the front of the bullock cart, smiling at everyone and laughing all the way.

Cheng Lezhou smiled like a fool.

He did whatever the matchmaker asked him to do, even forgetting about his old father behind him.

Mr. Cheng's expression became more and more serious, and he soon realized that today was a good day for his silly son to get engaged. He tried his best to laugh, and was embraced by the crowd into the Yan's courtyard. There seemed to be countless people talking to him around him, making a fuss. Yes, I calmed down after I sat down in the main room and drank the tea poured by my in-laws.

In addition to the matchmaker and the father and son, several classmates from Cheng Lezhou's academy came, as well as several scholars from the same period as him and Yan's second son, Yan Xiangheng's uncle and nephew.

Mr. Cheng even saved money on hiring people. With the help of these people, the Cheng family's team delivering the wedding gift was decent.

The Cheng family prepared six gifts according to Guanzhou's rules.

Desserts, fabrics, tea, wine, etc.

There are four silver ingots, five taels per ingot, and twenty taels of silver.

Average.

But Cheng Lezhou was thoughtful and used the money he saved to buy a white jade hairpin with a lotus head and a pair of dragon and phoenix silver bracelets to add to it.

The Yan family are very satisfied.

They all know what's going on in the Cheng family and what Mr. Cheng's temperament is like.

The most important thing about this marriage was Cheng Lezhou.

Putting people aside in his heart was better than anything else.

Yan Xiangheng came back yesterday evening and went to bed early just to recharge himself for today.

Several scholars and students were entertained by him.

In fact, Yan Laoer is also suitable, but who asked him, as an uncle, to take charge today.

The eldest son of the Cheng family was out of town and had no time to rush back. The Cheng family did not come with any female relatives and only invited a matchmaker with the best reputation in the city.

Matchmaker Qi spoke crisply and loudly, and she had a lot of nice words and congratulations. She made the women who accompanied Li Xuemei in her house jump and jump, and when she opened her mouth, her words never fell to the ground.

Mrs. Cui had a lot of contact with her, and they chatted passionately and were evenly matched.

Today's engagement was actually just a formality. The Cheng family asked in private, and the Yan family nodded. Both families were willing, and they didn't pick and choose whether the man gave more or less gifts, so everything went smoothly.

The tables in the Yan family’s front yard and back yard are filled to the brim.

Yan Huaiwen and Mr. Cheng sat at the main table, accompanied by several village elders.

Yan Laoer is busy in the kitchen.

Mrs. Cui is like the commander-in-chief, and she is in charge of all the men's and women's tables.

Playing with it clearly.

"The male guests sit in the front yard, and the female guests go to the back yard."

"Li Datou, why are you hanging around? Sit at that table, there will be some free time."

"Kids at home, be careful and don't run around and bump into them again."

"Hey, if you don't help pass the food to the fourth iron, why are you here? Looking for the fifth iron? Who saw the fifth iron? Just tell me!"

"The guests are all here! Let's take the food! Let's take the food!"

Li Xuemei stayed in the house to accompany her child. There were many people in the yard, and Ya'er was still too young to be taken out. It happened that Qianchu was not convenient to see guests, so she set up a small table in the house.

There were no outsiders, just Mrs. Tian, ​​the wife of the Qi family, two daughters of the Qi family, and the cousin of the Feng family who was engaged to Qi Si.

The Qi family's wife had trouble with her eyesight, so she didn't come.

Mrs. Tian looked out through the window and praised with a smile: "Ms. Cui is really a smart person! With her being so polite and lively, she has everything done at the right time and everything is arranged properly. Then Qi Matchmaker, I You know, you just asked me if the lady from the Cui family was traveling with her, hahaha."

Li Xuemei smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked: "It's not impossible to be a matchmaker occasionally in the future. I think her aunt is qualified for the job. She doesn't need to go outside. She just calls her a matchmaker in our village."

She glanced thoughtfully at cousin Feng who was sitting next to the Qi family's wife.

Madam Qi exclaimed: "That's not good. If someone wants to do that, they need someone to talk and run errands. Madam Cui is not suitable. We are happy for her to earn this kind of money. This is called fat water not flowing." Wai Murata!”

Just like her fourth brother and cousin from the Feng family.

The more Madam Qi thought about it, the more she felt that Madam Cui was a suitable matchmaker.

"I'll go out and take a look." Li Xuemei said.

"Go, go, we are here. If Xiaoya doesn't do it, I will call you again." Mrs. Qi said.

Mrs. Tian also said: "You go and show your face, and when Huai'an is done with his work, you can come back for dinner."

Li Xuemei hurried out.

Lady Cui looked in all directions and rushed to greet her as soon as she saw her.

"I have arranged everything for Matchmaker Qi. She will sit at the same table with me and sit next to me. Don't worry, I will keep it safe for her to keep with her. I also hope that she will help the boys and girls in our village to have more good dates in the future!"

Mrs. Cui said happily: "When the dishes are ready, I will have a good chat with her, and she will talk to all the children of the right age in our village. This matchmaker is not an ordinary person. Four generations of her family have been doing this. It has been passed down from her great-grandmother." It was passed down to her grandma, then to her mother-in-law, and then to her. It’s amazing that there is such a famous person in Fucheng.”

Four words flashed in Li Xuemei's mind: family origins!

"Thanks to you today, I have been thinking about you since you have been busy for a long time. Hurry up and take a rest in the house with me. Let's stop and have a meal. This meal will be finished later, and I will have to help you when we see off the guests."

Mrs. Cui smiled heartily and said: "Hey, we are a family, why are you talking about foreign things? I am happy to be busy as long as our eldest niece has a good life. You don't know how many people in the village envy me for taking on this job. I am like this People just can’t take any time off, and they keep getting busier and more energetic!”

"Sister-in-law, if you have time, please go to the door for me. I saw from afar that Gouzi's father was writing non-stop. I asked him to record the gift account, but why did he keep recording it? Everyone else has taken their seats, but he is not moving. What is he writing?"

Li Xuemei agreed and walked towards the door.

Only halfway through, her extraordinary eyesight allowed her to see clearly what was written in the book in front of Doctor Cui.

She walked closer without saying a word.

Doctor Cui was so busy that he didn't even raise his head.

The Yan family had few members, so Madam Cui pulled Doctor Cui over with her.

It's hard to do things that require mouths, but it's okay to use your hands instead of mouths.

Everything that was given to each family in the village was recorded clearly.

They were all familiar families, and there were several gifts from several families, so it was easy to remember.

Also, those who came with the Cheng family, none of them were empty-handed, and they all sent gifts.

There were only a few people, and at most they could count those who didn't come for various reasons and asked them to help bring gifts.

Mrs. Cui was wondering about this, counting these people on her fingers, how could she never finish writing these gifts?

Li Xuemei looked at the names on the book and the gifts they gave.

There were also people who kept coming to write accounts with their backs bent.

I really don't know what to do.

The new soldiers in Xiao'an Camp were under the management of Yan Laoer. It was understandable that they came to express their gratitude when they knew that there was a happy event in the Shangguan family.

How much money could a big soldier who had just joined the army have? He just wanted to express his gratitude, and he would accept it if he accepted it.

But why did those criminal officials who were exiled to the quarry join in the fun?

They also came to give a gift, as if it was agreed that each family would give a small amount of money, and the largest amount was two taels. Seeing that every family was not left out, the basket at Doctor Cui's feet was half full.

Yesterday, my friend and his wife came to me in the afternoon to discuss their children's college entrance examination application~

We checked and discussed from the afternoon until 10 o'clock in the evening. Finally, we came to a conclusion. I thought it was over, but they came back this morning to continue to worry and discuss. Uh, my mind is almost filled with various universities and majors~~~

After the couple left, I suddenly felt anxious. I was worried about my big son. Do you understand? I felt that the children had worked hard for several years and really worked hard to take the exam. As a parent, I thought the exam was pretty good, but when it came to applying for schools, I suddenly found that the scores I wanted to go to were not enough, the ones who were good enough didn't want to go, the ones who were sure of it felt a loss, and the ones who tried hard didn't dare to go. Ah, it was really hard!

Yesterday, even if I asked for leave, I won't make up for it~ Love you~(*▽*)~
