Chapter 136 Marriage
Lin Xiaoman then thought that before Xu Qiuliang said that he would teach Lin Erhu to read, and said that he would not teach Shu Xiu, she actually did not teach Shu Xiu, but only provided him with delicious food, and now she thought about it.
It really shouldn’t be.
"Why don't we also give the husband the benefit of the past few months, so that we can't delay him from getting a wife?"
Lin Erhu also agreed, "Then give it. I think he has been exhausted these days just to make money and give betrothal gifts."
Thinking of what Lin Dajiao had told herself before, that she could farm, raise chickens, and raise Xu Qiuliang, Lin Xiaoman suddenly had an idea, "Why don't you ask Mr. Xu, would you mind being your son-in-law?"
"Son-in-law here?" Lin Erhu hesitated, "Sir, he is also a scholar, and he is proud of himself. He wouldn't be willing, right?"
"How do you know if you don't ask? I don't think he has much affection for the Xu family, except for those brothers. Now he is in trouble. He doesn't even have a house of his own. He can't let his eldest sister marry and follow him.
Is he going to squeeze in with his brothers and his family?"
Lin Erhu actually felt that what Lin Xiaoman said made sense, "Sister, wait for me, I'll go back and ask your husband."
"That's not true..." Before the urgent words came out of his mouth, Lin Erhu had already disappeared. Lin Xiaoman could only stand there and wait.
After all, he was going to be someone's son-in-law, and Lin Xiaoman didn't want to go there and embarrass Xu Qiuliang.
Not long after, Lin Erhu ran back again, and when he saw Lin Xiaoman, he said happily: "I asked you, sir, if it's okay to barge in?" He said he was afraid that the eldest lady would think he was useless, but the corners of his mouth were grinning to the base of his ears.
I just asked him if he was willing? He asked the eldest daughter to hire a matchmaker tomorrow. Wow, I really hate getting married."
Lin Xiaoman didn't expect Xu Qiuliang to be so informal, but everyone was happy with the result. Lin Youwang's family once wanted to find a son-in-law for Lin Dajiao, but the conditions for him to come were not good enough, so Lin Dajiao always disagreed. Now the two of them have
It's interesting to everyone, and everyone is happy with the result.
The two siblings went directly to Lin Dajiao's house. When Lin Xiaoman told Lin Dajiao about asking Lin Dajiao to hire a matchmaker, Lin Dajiao was stunned for a moment, and then everyone was a little happy and stupid. "Xiaoman, how did you persuade Qiu Liang?"
I’m still worried about how to live well after I get married.”
Lin Xiaoman was silent. In fact, she didn't do anything to persuade her. Lin Erhu just expressed his idea and Xu Qiuliang agreed.
Since both of them were willing, Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Dajiao to quickly invite the matchmaker before the busy farming season, so that the marriage could be done after the autumn harvest.
Lin Dajiao nodded hurriedly, "Sure, sure, I'll go to the city to hire a matchmaker tomorrow."
"Why do you have to go to the city to invite us? It's not like we don't have any in our village."
Lin Dajiao shook her head, "If our village can't do it, we should hire the official media. This will show that I value Qiu Liang. Letting him be my son-in-law has already wronged him. Everything else must be done smoothly."
After saying that, he asked again: "Xiao Man, what do you think is an appropriate betrothal gift for me to give?"
Why ask her about the betrothal gift again? Lin Xiaoman said helplessly: "The betrothal gift is just a wish. Mr. Xu's family doesn't have any serious elders anymore. He will bring back whatever you give him, so you can give it as you see."

"Bring them all back..." Lin Dajiao pondered for a moment, "I have earned more than 100 taels selling tomatoes and peppers this past month. Why don't I give him 100 taels as a betrothal gift?"
"Okay, I just need to watch it."
Lin Xiaoman still trusts Xu Qiuliang's character, and he is not the kind of person who cheats on marriages. As for whether he will leave the betrothal gift given by Lin Dajiao to the Xu family? Lin Xiaoman believes that none of the brothers who are close to him are that kind of person.
People, the rest...it would be nice if he didn't peel off the skin from them.
When she got up early the next day, Lin Dajiao took a handlebar-style carriage to the county seat and found a government mediator to come to propose marriage.
Both parties agreed to the marriage, and the official media rode a small donkey, followed by a man who played gongs and a suona, and entered the village in a lively manner.
As soon as we entered the village, the gong sounded and the suona played festive music, attracting the whole village.
Lin Dajiao hid at home and peeked through the wall. She saw the official matchmaker's donkey blowing past her door, and finally stopped in front of Xu Qiuliang's house. The set of small words were very formal, which made her shy and at the same time, the corners of her mouth were twitching.
I can’t hold back my laughter no matter what: Sure enough, the serious official media is different from the wild ones. It’s a bit more expensive, but it’s worth the price.
Lin Xiaoman didn't listen to the news. Lin Erhu ran back early to report the news. When Lin Xiaoman went out, he happened to meet Lu Jin who was also rushing here, and the three of them ran towards Xu Qiuliang's house.
When they arrived outside the hospital, the official media outlet said: "...the peach blooms brightly, its flowers burn brightly, and the son returns home, which is good for his family..."
Lin Xiaoman and Lu Jin twitched their mouths at the same time. This paragraph seems not suitable for a woman to marry a man.
Xu Qiuliang also had a twitching mouth. There were not many scholars in the village. After hearing this, he just thought it was too elegant. Scholars getting married were different from these mud-legged people. But he understood, this was obviously what the girl wanted.
If she gets married, her husband's family will be harmonious and happy.
Especially when I saw Lu Jin smiling but not smiling, looking like he was watching a good show, I wanted to take off my shoes and slap him in the face.
But it was about Lin Dajiao's face. At this time, there were people standing inside and outside the courtyard, so he had to endure it.
In the end, Xu Qiuliang accepted the Geng Tie sent by the official matchmaker and also gave his own, and the marriage was considered completed.
Congratulations, blessings, and good words were thrown out as if they were free of charge. At the end, someone asked: "Mr. Xu, which girl hired this matchmaker?"
Lin Xiaoman couldn't help laughing and watched the fun together, not even knowing whose fun it was.
It was Lin Erhu who said loudly: "This is my eldest sister, sir. From now on, should I call you uncle? Or should I call you eldest sister-in-law?"
Xu Qiuliang hit him on the head and said, "You've read the book so hard? How many times have you told him not to make loud noises?"
Seeing Lin Erhu holding his head and complaining of pain, Xu Qiuliang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "We are all a family from now on, so naturally we have to call you uncle?"
In the past, Lin Erhu would have made a joke, but as soon as he got hit, Lin Erhu covered his head and said "Oh".
Not hearing him call uncle, Xu Qiuliang clicked his tongue twice, still a little disappointed.
Lin Erhu covered his head, with a shrewd look in his little eyes: He was not given money to change his words, so he was proud of not changing his words.
The conversation between the two was overheard by the villagers, and there was an uproar for a while.
Lin Daqiang, who was still watching the excitement in the crowd, never expected that in the end, he would see the excitement above his own house.
Why didn't he know when Dajiao and Mr. Xu fell in love? And he made Mr. Xu willing to marry him? Not to mention, his fourth sister has really good taste. No wonder she didn't like those men in the past. Sure enough, it's a good meal
Don’t be afraid of being late.
Lin Daqiang didn't care about other people's congratulations. He had to go home quickly and tell his parents the news. In the early years, his parents had worried about the fourth sister's marriage. In recent years, they just thought about it and assumed that the fourth sister would be an old girl forever.
Now the fourth sister is looking for a new wife, and the person she hired is Mr. Xu. Even though she was exiled, she can read, and the county magistrate is his student. Will she have to walk sideways in Qingping County from now on?
For this big joy, he had to go back and let his parents prepare a betrothal gift. He couldn't wrong Mr. Xu.
