Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents and the advice of matchmakers.
The family has a beautiful and beautiful young lady. No matter how high the threshold of the family is, it will inevitably be worn down by the matchmaker's feet. After all, Yao Baoxun is a candidate in Shanghai. He has been slightly influenced by Western ideas, so his daughter's wishes must be followed in her marriage.
.
After returning from Liu's house, Yao Baoxun sat in the living room and asked his daughter with a smile: "Fang'er, it's time for a boy to get married and a girl to get married now. You're not young now. The Liu family's family fortune and Mr. Liu's appearance are already there."
Knowledge. Your mother and I are very satisfied, what do you think?
Yao Qinfang blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.
Yao Baoxun continued with a smile: Your father is also an enlightened person and will not force you. But you must have an attitude. The Liu family is still waiting for our reply.
Yao Qinfang was asked that she had no choice but to answer shyly: Just listen to her father. After saying that, she got up and went back to her boudoir.
Yao Baoxun smiled and looked at his daughter's back as she entered.
...
In the past few days, Tang Yanghe and his wife happened to be in Shanghai. They were friends in times of need and had not seen each other for a long time. They had endless stories of human kindness and worldliness.
Liu Yong said to Tang Yanghe: You are here to stay for a few days this time. You and I are old, so we see each other once. Then he said: Hey, the third son will meet the Shanghai candidate Yao Master in a few days.
My daughter is engaged. If you want to leave, you have to drink the engagement wine before leaving. I am worried that I don’t have a suitable matchmaker, so why don’t you come to my door? Hahaha.
Tang Yanghe smiled and said: Your brother Liu's children are all married to rich families, and they are really well matched. If you want me to be a matchmaker, wouldn't it be like putting me on the fire to roast? How can I do this?
Liu Yong laughed and said: Don't worry, brother Tang, I will never embarrass you. We have already negotiated the matter. You two are in love with me. When the time comes, all you need to do is perform the ritual. Don't worry, I will be a ready-made matchmaker.
Eighteen hooves are still indispensable for you.
The two laughed again.
.....
On the day of the engagement, lights and decorations were hung in the courtyard of the Liu family. An Eight Immortals table was set up in the hall, and red candles were lit. First, they offered sacrifices to their ancestors. Liu Anhui paid homage to his ancestors, and then six cars were loaded with twelve gifts.
Under the leadership of his brother Liu Anjiang, they set out for Yao Mansion in a mighty manner.
The motorcade was still 100 meters away from Yao's house, so they set off firecrackers to greet them. Immediately, the Yao family also set off firecrackers to welcome them.
Both sides of the road were crowded with people watching the fun.
When the motorcade arrived at the gate of Yao Mansion, Yao Zhiqiang, Yao Qinfang's brother, opened the door for the groom-to-be Liu Anwen, and then brought out a basin of hot water for Liu Anwen to wash his face and hands. Liu Anwen took out a red envelope as a thank you.
The recruiters carried the betrothal gifts into Yao's house one by one and placed them on the table in the hall. Mrs. Yao laughed loudly when she saw it and said: The rules in the south are bigger than those in the north. Especially when she saw the sparkling pearls, she added.
:This is the first time in my life that I have seen so many pearl beads.
Yao Baoxun smiled and said to his wife: Hey, hey, hey, don't just appreciate it and forget to serve tea to the guests.
Mrs. Yao smiled and said: Thank you for reminding me.
Yao Baoxun distributed red envelopes to the recruiters one by one.
Mrs. Yao invited her daughter from the boudoir to serve tea to the groom's guests one by one. Logically speaking, the first cup of tea was handed to the groom-to-be Liu Anhui first, but Yao Qinfang handed the first cup of tea to Tang Yanghe, and the second cup to Tang Yanghe.
Liu Anjiang, Liu An's brother, was the last one. He slowly picked up the bowl from the tea tray, and with a smile, he slowly handed the tea bowl to Liu An's hand affectionately.
Liu Anhui took the tea bowl and felt a little puzzled. Did she not understand any of the rules?
...
At noon, the recruiters had dinner at Yao's house and then returned to Liu's house. Because the real formal engagement ceremony would be held in Liu's house in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the Liu family courtyard was decorated with lights and decorations, several large tables were placed, and a large red carpet was laid from the lobby to the center of the courtyard. Many relatives, friends, and some friends from the business community came to congratulate them. Many news reporters also came to join in the fun.
.
Liu Yong stood at the door with a smile to greet the guests.
Even Shanghai real estate tycoon Zhou Liantang came with his son Zhou Xiangyun.
Liu Yong smiled and bowed to Zhou Zilian with his hands and said: Thank you, Boss Zhou, for coming!
Zhou Liantang said with a smile: "How can you not come on your son's big day?"
Liu Yong pointed at Zhou Liantang and asked: Is that your brother, your son?
Liu Yong smiled and said: With such a talented person, he should start a family and start a business.
The two laughed.
At 4:38, the celebration officially began.
Yao Qinfang is wearing a light green dress, with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined with silver thread, and a dense row of blue sea water clouds on the hem, with a wide piece of light yellow brocade wrapped around the chest.
, her body turned slightly and her long skirt spread out, and her movements were as graceful as a willow blowing in the wind. Holding hands, she slowly walked to the center of the courtyard.
Between them: they are delicate and beautiful, walking slowly like a lotus. They look like a king, and have a face like a Chu girl. They are like flowers interpreting words, and they are fragrant like jade. The national color is clear, and the smell of orchids is sweet. The bun is curved, and it is really the smooth eyebrows of Jinjiang.
Show better than Wenjun and Xue Tao.
At this time, the band sounded, firecrackers fired, and the audience gave warm applause.
Tang Yanghe came to the center and said into the microphone: Dear guests, I solemnly announce that today, Mr. Liu Ansheng and Miss Yao Qinfang are married. I hope they will get married soon. The whole audience burst into applause again.
At this time, Liu Anwen knelt down on one knee and presented a bouquet of red roses to Yao Qinfang. Yao Qinfang smiled and took the red rose from Liu Anwen's hand. Liu Anwen put an engagement ring on the ring finger of Yao Qinfang's left hand.
Applause broke out again.
At this time, the reporters' camera flashes kept flashing.
Tang Yanghe came to the center and said: The engagement ceremony is over, I hope everyone has a good time!
At this time, a group of reporters swarmed around Liu Anhui and asked: Mr. Liu, please tell me your thoughts today.
Liu Anhui smiled and said to everyone: I, Liu, am lucky enough to be engaged to Miss Yao Qinfang, who is as beautiful as a fairy.
During the wedding banquet, Liu Yong took Liu Anwen to the table to express his thanks.
They came to Zhou Liantang's table. Zhou Liantang took the lead and stood up to congratulate him. He pointed to his son Zhou Xiangyun beside him and said: In the future, you should learn more from Brother An Shen.
Zhou Xiangyun said with a smile: Please give me Brother An's advice in the future.
Liu Anwen smiled and said: Learn from each other and communicate more.
Everyone ate and drank until the moon was high in the sky, and then they dispersed.
...
After the banquet, Liu Anwen drove Yao Qinfang home. This was the first time they were alone together. On the way, they had no intention of admiring the feasting and feasting of Shanghai at night. They both felt that no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was incomparable to the two of them together. They
They were all silent, letting their hearts enjoy themselves quietly. It was Liu Anhui who broke the deadlock first and asked: Are you happy today?
Yao Qinfang nodded slightly.
Liu Anhui asked again: Hey, let me ask you, why didn't you serve tea according to the rules today?
Yao Qinfang smiled and said: Fortunately, you are still a scholar. I know the rules you mentioned. Rules are made by people. The husband is one of his own, so he should respect his guests first. Besides, the last one, yes, you can read more
Lang Jun glanced at me.
Liu Anhui suddenly realized that Yao Qinfang was not only beautiful, but also thoughtful and knowledgeable. So he held the steering wheel with his left hand and tightly grasped Yao Qinfang's hand with his right hand.
The next day, many newspapers in Shanghai published reports on the engagement ceremony held by Liu Anhui and Yao Qinfang under the title "Flowers Falling at Home", and some even distributed their photos. This also dispelled the idea of some princes and grandsons wanting to pay attention to Yao Qinfang.
