After agreeing, he immediately found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the three big words "Zhuangyuanzhai" on the spot.

"Then I'll leave first. I have to build it quickly while the shop in the town has not yet been on holiday."

The old master held the words and said happily that he would be carved carefully, making a gilded plaque and hanging it on the door lintel.

...

A few days before the Chinese New Year, Xu Laosan closed the wine shop in Shazhou County.

I just returned to Lao Xu's house.

Xu Laosan is very dedicated and does things too carefully. He will not rest if he does not do all the big and small matters well.

After returning home, Xu Zhang urged him to make up for his affairs with Duan Qiulan.

If things are implemented this year, you will be able to become a family with the Duan family.

Duan Qiulan and his son can celebrate the New Year at the Old Xu family during the New Year, which is also a happy event for the Old Xu family.

So, when Xu Laosan came back, he went to Duan Qiulan to discuss.

Duan Qiulan shyly agreed.

Xu Zhang and Xu Jiaojiao discussed it and prepared a box of betrothal gifts for Duan Qiulan.

Ten taels of silver, nine kilograms of rice, eight kilograms of pork, seven kilograms of vegetable oil, six kilograms of cloth, five kilograms of brown sugar, four quilts, three pairs of veils, two pairs of silver bracelets, one acre of land...

This was not given by the old Xu family.

It was taken out by Xu Laosan himself.

They are all the property he saved for Xu Jiaojiao to work on. He has no bad living habits and big expenses in his daily life, and they are all stored in Xu Zhang's place.

Xu Zhang was very satisfied with Duan Qiulan. He discussed with Xu Jiaojiao and gave so much.

Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing also added 100 taels of silver to Xu Laosan.

Of course, these are all for Xu Zhang. When the bride passes the door, they will be handed over to the bride.

Three days before the Chinese New Year, on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Xu family had finished all the work, and they were just waiting for the Chinese New Year. So the Xu family brought Duan family, Lizheng in the Xu village, and elders surnamed Xu.

They were invited to have a meal together under the witness of Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao, which was to secretly handle the marriage for the two.

They are all second marriages, so they cannot be held in a big or special way, for fear of criticism.

But if you really look like another family, just wrap your clothes and quietly enter the door of the old Xu family, it would be too disrespectful, and the woman would be faceless.

Now there are people with identities like Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao who have witnessed, hosted, as well as elders and relatives of the two families, which is much more decent.

If you say it, it is not worse than the first marriage that the Ming media has just married.

Twenty-nine, the old Xu family gathered together lively.

Two tables of banquets were placed in the lobby room.

Xu Laosan was wearing new clothes, a navy blue jacket, blue cloth shoes, and a small red flower on his chest, and his face was flushed.

The newcomer Duan Qiulan is also wearing a new dress, a moon-white dress, a stone-green bun, a red flower on her hair, and a slightly painted face. The half-old Xu girl has experienced the storm, and at this time

At this moment, it looks like a different beauty.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao sat in the top position.

The two of them are juniors and should be sitting on the side of the lower head, but Li Zheng and the elders insisted that they both sit on the first seat.

The highest official position is the most important.

No matter how you do, you can't push it off.

There was no way, they could only sit in the top position.

The left and right are Xu Youde and Xu Zhang.

Li Zheng, the elders of the Xu family, the third son of Xu, and the bride were at the same table.

The Duan family and the rest of the Lao Xu family sat at a table next to each other.

Both tables were served exactly the same dishes, and they were very rich.

This is a great event, and everyone is very happy. The elders invited, Li Zheng said congratulations to the newcomers.

Xu Zhang's eyes were filled with tears, "Qiulan, this has been delayed for half of his life. After going around, you still have this fate with our third brother. Fortunately, you don't dislike our third brother. Our third brother suffered a lot.

The person has poor legs and feet, and he used to make his body so bad in the Cai family. Now you are a good person. It is really hard for you to be with our third brother."

Duan Qiulan was frightened, "Mother-in-law, don't say that. There is nothing to dislike or not. I am willing to do so. I don't say anything else. I have known my third child since I was a child. I still know his character, and I am worthy of it.

If I don't get to him, I think I can still have this fate with the third child. I will be satisfied in my life. The third child is married for the second time, and I am still a widow. Thanks to the third child who does not dislike my children, I

Really, I feel very grateful…”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not entered the door yet, and their relationship is so good.

The days ahead should be easy to get along with.

Xu Jiaojiao interrupted, "Okay, okay, mom, today is a happy day, I won't cry."

Xu Zhang wiped the corners of his eyes, "Yes, my old daughter said yes, let's not say this, thank God for having a good life for giving us a good life. Qiulan, I feel very at ease with you, my life

The person who owe the most is the third child. In the future, I will hand over the third child to you. What is the difficulty of your third child? Just tell me directly, if the third child bullies you, you can also directly with me.

He said, let me see if I won’t peel him, and use the soles to kill him.”

Duan Qiulan blushed, "Mother-in-law, you are too worried. The third brother is a good person and will not bully others. Also, you and your father are old, and you can leave all the work at home to me in the future. I can do it.

Come here.”

Xu Zhang replied, "No, no, the third brother is a separate branch. You two can live your own life well and don't serve us. Next year, you will go to the county wine shop with the third brother to help, so that Jiaojiao

I will calculate wages for both of you, and Hu Zi, your family of four will live in the county town, take care of your life and don’t let me worry about the third child, and I will feel at ease."

The business of the wine shop in the county is also very good. After Duan Qiulan goes there, she can help.

I just think it was a young man who hired a helper. If it was a young girl, it was not suitable for people to show up every day to do business. A middle-aged woman like Duan Qiulan was just right, so there was no need to be afraid of criticism.

The Duan family next door, Duan Dashi and his son, Duan Hongmei and others, all smiled and nodded secretly when they heard this.

Xu Zhang's arrangement is good.

It is the plan to let Xu Laosan and the others seriously live their own lives.

After Duan Qiulan lost her puppet, she has been living in the Duan family's parents' house for several years, but no one came to her to say she was married.

As for the marriage, if you have good conditions, you will dislike Duan Qiulan for bringing two oil bottles.

Those with poor conditions are all older and the house is in a mess. Duan Qiulan needs to do free work and serve the family. She still lacks food and clothing, and may not be guaranteed.
