Chapter 2271 Extreme Cold5
Tan Qianhu asked her: "Have you thought about it? This is your lifelong event. If you marry the wrong person again, I'm afraid..."
Tan Qianhu thought about his daughter's troubled marriage and couldn't say anything else.
Tan Xiaoxiang said: "It's up to him. This is my daughter's choice. If it's wrong again, my daughter will admit it!"
"Okay, she is worthy of being the eldest daughter of Tan Si, who is like a tiger girl in generals!" Tan Qianhu was very happy and waited no longer. He got up and went out, and said to Bahu Niang who was guarding the house: "Go and inform Mr. and Mrs. Sanlang. My family agreed to the Xiao familys marriage.
He added: "The two guards are too far apart. It takes ten days and a half to go back and forth. While Mrs. Niu is still in charge of Liang Guard, we might as well keep it simple together and get married in these two days."
Isnt this too fast?
Bahu Niang was startled and said quickly: "Hey, I will go and report it right now."
After Tan Qianhu finished this important matter, he felt much relieved. He walked into the house with long and joyful steps, and was scolded by Mrs. Tan: "You are too anxious. Which family can't have a good engagement? Why don't you let me do it?" The Xiao family decided on the marriage within two days, which was too hasty."
Tan Qianhu said with a smile: "Since we agree, why wait too long? If we make a decision early, our family can live a stable life, so as not to be busy with this matter all the time."
Mrs. Tan gave him an angry look and said, "Yes, yes, you are the most reasonable, okay."
The Ba, Lan, and Bai families were all old servants of the Qin family sent by cousin Yu, and their status was unusual. Bahu Niang quickly entered the main house, saw Qin Sanlang and his wife, and informed them of Tan Qianhu's words.
Gu Jinli was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't this too fast?"
Qin Sanlang smiled: "Tan Qianhu has an open-minded and cheerful temper. If he likes it, he will not delay it, but will end the battle quickly."
Then he said to Bahu Niang: "Go and reply to Tan Qianhu. The Qin and Xiao families will definitely make this marriage a success and make the Tan family look good."
"Yes." Bahu Niang bowed and went back quickly.
Gu Jinli sighed: "Second cousin Xiao's marriage was decided very quickly. We had a wife in just ten days, and Cong Wenshan is still slowly getting along with Xiao Ji."
He thought of Hong Dao and Zhang Zhong again: "They are the two people who have been with you the longest, especially Zhang Zhong. He is not young yet, but do you have a girl you like? What are your plans for the marriage?"
Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli were very generous and gave Xiao Chengju a pair of porcelain and a pair of golden heads and faces as gifts.
Here, give me such a valuable thing! Xiao Chenggong was shocked when he heard this and wished he could find a girl to propose marriage immediately.
Qin Sanlang: "The Tan family is a thousand households, so we have to give them something with a long face, otherwise it will bring disgrace to the Tan family."
Widow Xiao got what she wanted: "Nephew Qin is right. This is a matter related to the harmony between the two guards. It must be done well. Don't be too fussy, lest there be gossip!"
Haha, by marrying Tan Xiaoxiang, not only can she become an in-law with thousands of households, but Qins nephew also has to treat her family better because of the relationship between the two guards. Her family is making a lot of money.
Uncle Qin rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't be silly. This is your daughter-in-law, so you can't do nothing."
Widow Xiao really wanted to give nothing, but she was afraid that the Tan family would be angry, so in the end the couple and Xiao Chengju gave her a gold head mask, gold lilacs, gold bracelets, and a piece of red silk cloth.
Time was tight, and it was too late to go to Mu County and the county seat to buy them, so these things were bought from Wei Suo with money.
Fortunately, Xiao Chengju had a lot of private money and was able to buy these things.
Mr. Kuang said: "Today is the ninth day of October. It's a good day. Why don't you propose marriage today and make the arrangements? Tomorrow your second son will have to go to Duchonggou to report. There is no time to make the trip."
Widow Xiao immediately said: "Okay, let's propose marriage today!"
However, in order not to be rude, we sent someone to the female guests house in advance to inform the Tan family.
The Tan family quickly replied and asked them to pass.
The Kuang family came to the house with Gu Jinli and the Xiao family, handed over gifts, and talked about the marriage... They had already agreed, and after just a few idle words, they agreed, and the two families wrote an engagement letter.
After we go to the Yamen to check in, the marriage will be truly finalized, Kuang said happily.
But Xiao Chengju felt that the marriage was decided too quickly, and he felt wronged by Tan Xiaoxiang, so he said: "Uncle Tan, after the engagement letter is stamped with the red seal, my family will go to Yonglin Guard with the engagement ceremony and have a proper engagement banquet. What do you think?"
He added: "After all, it's an engagement, and a major event in life must have an impact... I'll provide the materials for the engagement banquet."
Tan Xiaoxiang was sitting in the room. When she heard this, she didn't want to agree. After all, she had a bad reputation as a widower, and hosting an engagement banquet cost a lot of things. Materials in the northwest were precious, so if you can't afford it, don't waste it.
But Tan Qianhu agreed: "Sister Xiang is the eldest daughter of the Tan family. She is getting engaged, so she should have a good engagement banquet... I will provide the materials for the banquet, and you just treat Sister Xiang well."
