Chapter 19 The marriage between the two parties
"Haha, I'm sorry, my two uncles have been waiting for a long time!" Liu He bowed his hand apart a dozen steps away.
"I dare not, but I dare not. If the county magistrate asks someone to come and pass on the news, why should I move my way to the person? How can the people in charge be punished?"
Zhang Ding and Su Shuang were a little flattered and quickly welcomed Liu He to the hall.
The three of them sat down together, and the people in the inn quickly came to tea.
"Liu is not here for official business, but for private affairs. He is not here for county magistrate Liu, but as the eldest brother of Yun Chang and Gong Yi. Therefore, it is also necessary to be considered as the younger generation of the two, and to come to see each other in person."
Zhang and Su traveled to many prefectures and counties, and their business reached such a scale. They still understand this kind of human nature. When they heard Liu He's tone, they immediately felt that there was hope for this matter and immediately became energetic.
"Mr. Liu is so polite. You are a nobleman of the imperial family and the chief of a county. How dare we, the common people, be your elders?"
The two of them didn't dare to tell each other, but their impression of Liu He was rapidly improving.
In today's society, it is indeed rare to see those who are born like Liu He and his current status to treat businessmen like them so condescendingly.
In the past, when they went to sell horses, those officials or officers rarely came to meet and negotiate with them in person. They sent a few subordinates over, and their attitude was a bit arrogant, and they would not even offer them a sip of tea.
After both sides were polite and complimented each other, Liu He began to mention the serious matter.
"I heard from my second and third brothers that they intended to betroth their daughter to my two brothers. Now they have no parents. The so-called elder brother is like a father, so I, the elder brother, came to ask them about these two marriages."
With the basis of the previous conversation, Zhang and Su also relaxed a lot.
Zhang Ding bowed and replied, "No, my nephew of Cheng's family suffered since childhood. Now he has not only been able to do anything, but also followed the magistrate of Liu to make such achievements. It is also considered a glorious family. My cousin also feels honored. Both nephews are cousin talents. Brother Su and I have a daughter. This year is exactly 28 years old, and it is a pretty good place to go. Although a inferior family should not have such a high-spirited heart, it is just such a good marriage. If you miss it, you will be sorry for your life, so you will come to meet you with shame."
Zhang Ding's few words brought him closer to Cheng Liang, and he even praised the Liu He and his three brothers, and also promoted his daughters and Su Shuang.
Su Shuang also quickly said, "Yes, Nephew Cheng is so powerful. He has killed several bandit leaders. It is really an honor for me to get this good son-in-law. I, Su, would like to betroth my little daughter to Nephew Cheng with three million yuan and one hundred good horses as a dowry, and hope that the magistrate of Liu County Yucheng!"
"The same is true for my Zhang family. I am willing to use three million yuan and one hundred good horses as dowry and betroth his little daughter to Guan Xianniang!" Zhang Ding followed closely behind.
After all, he is an old businessman. After he has finished his relationship, he started to raise the price code. The price code is a bit scary, far exceeding Liu He's expectations.
Two hundred ordinary war horses cost about three to four million yuan, and the war horses that the two dared to take out for dowry must be good horses, and their value is estimated to be at least more than five million yuan.
Adding three million yuan to another six million yuan, this is not a small amount. The annual income of Bingzhou and four or five counties may not be included in this number. It can be seen that these two people have invested a lot this time.
Of course, this was a huge sum of money in Liu He's eyes. After all, deep down he did not regard businessmen as inferior, but in the eyes of the other party, these two marriages were really high.
Although they have a wealthy family, their social status is extremely low and they can be called people at the bottom of society. However, Guan Yu and Cheng Liang are different. Although the two of them do not have public offices yet, Liu He is already a dignified county magistrate. These two have actually controlled one army. In addition to the ability they showed, it is estimated that it will take not long to enter the official career.
One side is a future general with unlimited achievements, and the other side is a businessman at the bottom of society. If this marriage can be successful, the two families will have taken a huge advantage.
Liu He also knew in his heart that the reason why these two people asked for such a high price was nothing more than one point, that is, the status of the wife, at least a fair wife.
In the minds of Zhang and Su, only if their daughter becomes Guan and Cheng's wife, her efforts this time are truly cost-effective. If she is just a concubine and has no say at all at home, it will be a loss.
The other party said this. If he did not agree, he would probably misunderstand that he would ask the lion to speak loudly.
"My two uncles are so sincere, so my nephew will take this marriage on behalf of my two brothers! It is a big deal to marry a wife and I am a junior after all. Let me do this. My nephew will report to my father. All matters of this marriage will be discussed and decided by my father and my uncle. I wonder what my uncle will do?"
Zhang Ding and Su Shuang were overjoyed when they heard this. The meaning of this was too clear. How could they not understand it?
He married and went to the family, and the elders asked directly. If he was just taking a concubine, why should he do this?
The two quickly sat upright and bowed to thank him.
"Oh, County Magistrate Liu is really... He is really a rare hero in the world!"
A happy event was settled and both sides were very happy. Zhang and Su immediately sent their entourage home to buy a carriage, and quickly brought their daughters and some family members to Langdiao County.
Liu Qian also came to meet these two in-laws soon. He was Liu He's father, which was equivalent to Guan Yu and Cheng Liang's father. It was legitimate to negotiate the matter on behalf of the two families.
Finally, everyone decided to hold the wedding on that day.
When Liu He went back to talk about this happy event, Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye made a fuss and joked about their two brothers. Guan Yu and Cheng Liang also took the opportunity to urge them to get married early. The brothers were so lively!
A few days later, the carriages of Zhang and Su families arrived in Langdiao County. Liu Qian and Xu took over the two families as elders, and also visited the two brides. After returning, they praised Guan Yu and Cheng Liang for their blessings and picked up two beautiful wives for free.
News of Guan Yu and Cheng Liang's wedding soon spread in Langdiao County and surrounding townships.
On the wedding day, not only some families in the city came to congratulate, but many people also spontaneously came to congratulate each other, making Zhang Ding and Su Shuang more and more certain that they had found the right son-in-law.
After the wedding, a total of 200 tall horses were sent to the stables in the county town. In addition, the two hundred horses given by the two families before were 400 excellent war horses, which made the Anmin Army's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's military's
