Chapter 287 Negotiating Betrothal Gift
Su Shiming looked at his younger brother and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Xiaosi, it's great that you have found someone who cares and loves each other.
No matter what others think of your craft, as long as you love it, keep doing it. Our whole family supports you. "
Su Shiren smiled and nodded, and said gratefully: "Thank you, second brother and second sister-in-law, Jun'er Yun'er. With your support, I have strengthened my love for my craft. I will definitely treat her well after marrying her."
The family sat around the dining table, filled with an atmosphere of happiness and joy.
They are full of expectations for Su Shiren's favorite woman and hope that they will get married soon and live a happy life together.
"Dad, Mom, let's finish our meal quickly and discuss what kind of gifts we will prepare for tomorrow. We should quickly go over and fix the gifts for Sister Ruyan, so as not to be jumped in by others." Su Youjun said anxiously.
"Okay! Since your fourth uncle finally met the person he likes, let's finish eating and discuss things quickly." Su Shiming also agreed.
This fate of his younger brother has made him wait for too long. He finally waited for the woman of his dreams, and their family must give their full support.
After Su Youjun and his family had dinner, they sat around in the living room and discussed how to find a matchmaker for their fourth uncle to go to the coffin shop's sister Ruyan's house to place a betrothal gift.
Su Shiming took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "This betrothal gift cannot be determined casually. It must be based on the identity of the Ruyan family to show that our family is sincere."
Chen Shuyao nodded: "Shiming is right. Although Ruyan is the daughter of a coffin shop, her family's craftsmanship matches that of her fourth uncle's. The two of them are so destined and like each other. We have to do our best to do this well."
Su Youjun also echoed excitedly: "Yes, mother, we can't treat sister Ruyan badly, we must give her a decent betrothal gift."
Su Shiming smiled slightly, looked at his fourth brother, and asked: "Xiaosi, how much taels of silver do you think we should give as a betrothal gift?"
The fourth uncle thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "According to today's marriage, a poor family can get a maximum of ten taels of silver, and a better family can get a few dozen taels of silver. Otherwise, let's prepare sixteen taels of silver!"
Su Youjun shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Our fourth uncle finally met the person he likes. Now that we have a house and a shop, it is too shabby to give him a betrothal gift of sixteen taels.
Jun'er will let his fourth uncle make the decision on this matter. How about just one hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift? No matter how you say this, you still have face, and you won't lose to others. "
"This...Jun'er! Your money didn't come from the strong wind. You also worked hard to dig up medicinal materials. Now you have to buy a house and a shop. Don't waste it anymore." Su Shiren refused with a look of reluctance. road.
"Fourth uncle, getting married is a lifelong matter. We can make more money in the future. Don't worry about Jun'er not having money.
Jun'er said that when you get married, we will cover all the betrothal gifts and wedding banquets. "Su Youjun said firmly.
Seeing his daughter's resolute attitude, Su Shiming clapped his hands and said, "Xiao Si, just listen to Jun'er! Now our life is getting better and better. As the second brother, now that he has the ability, he must give it to his younger brother no matter what. A decent wedding for my brother and sister."
"Okay! Since your attitude is non-negotiable, I can only accept your arrangement.
Second brother and second sister-in-law, Jun'er and Yun'er, you have been so kind to me, and I will repay you in the future. "Su Shiren said movedly.
Chen Shuyao consoled him: "Fourth uncle, please don't say that. We are all poor people who were kicked out of our old house. We will all be a family from now on."
"Oops! Forget those polite words, let me make a suggestion! We can add some more jewelry. I will arrange these tomorrow." Su Youjun said with a smile.
Xiao Youyun also said: "Great, we will soon have a fourth aunt."
Su Youjun nodded, feeling secretly moved in his heart, and said to his fourth uncle, "Fourth uncle, don't worry, we will definitely give you a decent betrothal gift."
The fourth uncle showed gratitude on his face and nodded heavily: "Everything is at your discretion. I am really grateful to have relatives like you."
"Fourth uncle, we are a family, we don't need to be so polite."
Next, they discussed the specific details of how to add something special to the bride price.
In addition to one hundred taels of silver, they decided to include some calligraphy and painting works, some gold and silver jewelry, etc. with the betrothal gift.
After the discussion, they started to freshen up, go to bed early tonight, get up early, and prepare various things for Su Shiren tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the family had breakfast early and were busy preparing the bride price for the fourth uncle's marriage.
As the second brother, Su Shiming was sent to find a matchmaker.
Su Youjun told his pregnant mother to stay at home, while he hurried out to help his fourth uncle prepare the three books and six etiquettes.
If I had known, weddings in ancient times were very complicated. It was better for poor people to keep everything simple, but for rich people, it would cost them half their lives.
"Three Letters" refers to one of the ancient traditional wedding rituals. The documents exchanged during the betrothal process are the "letter of appointment", the "letter of gift" and the "letter of welcome".
"Letter of Engagement" is the letter of engagement, exchanged at the time of engagement;
"Li Shu" is a list of gifts, which details the types and quantities of gifts, and is exchanged when a big gift is given;
"Welcome Book" is the book to welcome the bride, which is used when picking up the bride on the wedding day.
The "six rites" refer to the procedures from marriage proposal, matchmaking to marriage and consummation, which are divided into adoption, name asking, acceptance, acceptance, request for date, and personal greeting.
Adoption: Commonly known as matchmaking.
When a child is about to get married, the boy's parents ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to the girl's family.
When negotiating with a matchmaker, the man's family needs to give about thirty kinds of gifts that symbolize auspiciousness to the woman's family. At this time, the woman's family will ask the matchmaker about the situation in the man's family.
Asking for the name: Commonly known as the eight-character combination. After the girl's parents accept the proposal of marriage, they will give their daughter's birthday and horoscope to the boy's family, which will be used to predict good and bad luck for the male and female.
After fortune telling, the groom's family will start preparing for the marriage ceremony... Su Youjun only knows a few things. Anyway, she doesn't know much about many things, so she can only leave them to experienced parents.
Su Shiming soon arrived at the matchmaker's home. An old matchmaker was sitting by the bed embroidering flowers leisurely. When she saw Su Shiming coming in, she stood up with a smile to greet him.
"This master, why do you want to come to me?" Huang Matchmaker asked.
Su Shiming smiled slightly and said politely: "Today is a good day for my brother Su Shiren to propose marriage. I need you to come forward as a matchmaker. The target is the daughter of the Liu Family Coffin Shop."
After hearing this, the matchmaker was stunned for a moment, then a hint of joy flashed in her eyes and she said with a smile:
"I see, this is a great thing! Let me change into a new set of clothes first. You go back and ask your brother to bring the gift and invitation. I will take him to Liu's house immediately."
