Chapter 496 Visiting the Qian Family's House
The door leading to the backyard is covered with thick cloth in winter.
It's hot now.
The thick cloth was replaced with gauze.
As the spring breeze blew through, the white and yellowish gauze curtain began to dance, looking quite artistic.
"Miss, the vegetables in the kitchen have run out, so the second young lady asked her brother to go buy some. Her brother met the first lady on the street. She was taking the eldest young lady with her, and they seemed to be going to the dental clinic." Pan Erya said mysteriously into Jiang Fubao's ear.
"My eldest sister is fourteen years old. The two families have agreed to get engaged by the end of the year and get married next year. I guess my aunt is helping my eldest sister to buy a dowry. Ugh, what dowry? That's called a betrothal gift."
Jiang Fubao just uttered a few words.
I don’t know how my aunt-in-law convinced the Qian family.
She actually agreed to let her son marry into her family.
You have to know that in ancient times, unless the family was so poor that they had no food to eat and were about to starve to death, or if they had seven or eight sons, it was okay to have one of them as a son-in-law, most people would not agree to let their sons marry into the family.
No matter how poor I am, I won’t.
What's more, the Qian family also opened a grain store in Wugu Lane, so they were not short of money at all.
Then there is no need to let your son become a son-in-law.
"That day, I passed by and heard the eldest lady and the eldest lady talking about this matter." Lu'er, who was wiping the table, heard the voice.
She didn't dare to gossip about her master, so she looked at Jiang Fubao, waiting for her consent before deciding whether to speak.
"You talk, there are no outsiders here." Jiang Fubao nodded.
"The eldest lady said that she promised the Qian family that she would buy a house for the eldest daughter and open a shop. When the young master of the Qian family marries into the family, he will live in the house with the eldest daughter. As for the shop, it will be run by the eldest daughter and sell some embroidery. As for the Qian family, they can't give a dowry, so the young master of the Qian family will marry into the family empty-handed."
Luer didn't mean to hear it.
It was just a coincidence.
More than half a year has passed and she has never mentioned it. If Pan Erya hadn't suddenly brought it up with the young lady, she would have probably forgotten about it.
"So that's how it is. That's what I was wondering, why would the Qian family agree to let their son marry into the family?" Jiang Fubao frowned his handsome eyebrows.
She doesn't mind her family buying a house and a shop for her eldest sister.
But I wonder, can a marriage that is bought last long?
If my family had always been in power, I don't think that person would dare to do anything.
But what if.
He came here for money, but one day he will betray his elder sister for money.
Besides, her eldest sister had a very gentle temperament and never said a word when she was bullied. She was not at ease at all. Just when Jiang Fubao was thinking about whether to persuade his family.
Zhu Yingqiu and Jiang Wangyou, who were standing at the door of the dental clinic, finally waited for the Qian family to arrive.
I thought it was just the mother and son coming, but who knew that the entire Qian family was coming.
The smile on Zhu Yingqiu's face was a little stiff.
"Yingqiu, we are not too late, are we? You know, my Jie'er is the youngest, and his elder brother and sister-in-law love him very much. So, we just came together. Since the adults are here, we can't just leave my grandson at home.
Don't mind it, after all, this is a big deal about the child, and with more of us, we can help you make decisions together, and then choose a satisfactory house and shop."
Of course Yan Xiu could see that Zhu Yingqiu's expression was not right.
She hurried forward, took Zhu Yingqiu's hand and explained in a low voice.
His face was filled with a flattering smile.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.
Zhu Yingqiu could only nod awkwardly and said, "It's okay. We will be a family sooner or later. Now that you are here, go in quickly and help the two children choose."
My daughter is supposed to be engaged by the end of the year. If something unhappy happens now, how will Wangyou and Jieer get married?
I saw Wangyou and Jie'er chatting and they seemed to be getting along very well.
Zhu Yingqiu could only swallow this unpleasant feeling.
However, she didn't listen carefully to what the two were talking about.
If I heard it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it at all.
From beginning to end, Qian Liangjie kept talking to Jiang Wangyou.
Every time he moved closer, Jiang Wangyou moved away.
Therefore, in Zhu Yingqiu's eyes, she thought that the two of them had a good relationship.
"Mrs. Jiang, you are here. I have found three shops and five houses for you these days. They all meet your requirements. They are close to Jiang's house or the snack shop, but not too far away. All the houses are quiet in the midst of a bustling city. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
The Zhouya people in the dental clinic are very familiar with the Jiang family.
In the past two years, the Jiang family bought land, shops, and people from Zhouya.
Therefore, the Zhouya people’s attitude towards Zhu Yingqiu was extremely good.
Even Yan Xiu straightened her back, feeling that she was valued.
"Everyone, please take a seat..." Zhou Yaren led them to the main hall of the pawnshop and told the maid to pour a cup of tea for each of them.
As for the younger grandson of the Qian family, Qian Gufeng.
She poured him a glass of sweet milk.
Milk is very expensive here, and the Qian family is reluctant to drink it, let alone milk with two full spoons of sugar in it.
Qian Gufeng, now six years old, had only drunk it twice. He held the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, he raised the cup and looked at Zhou Yaren eagerly.
Zhu Yingqiu felt a little embarrassed.
This child is already six years old, how come he still doesn't know etiquette?
"Xiao Cui, heat up another cup of milk for the young master." No matter what Zhou Yaren thought in his heart, he would not show it on his face and always had a smile on his face.
"Oh, we came here in a hurry and haven't eaten yet. I guess my Feng'er is hungry. My dear grandson, let's go home and eat after we have seen the shop and the house. You are not allowed to ask for more after you finish drinking. How can you keep drinking?"
Yan Xiu also felt ashamed, so she put on a stern face and pretended to curse, but she was actually hinting that Zhu Yingqiu and her family had not eaten because they came to see the shop.
Want to make her feel guilty.
Qian Gufeng immediately pursed his lips and pretended to cry.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. The child is immature and can't stand being hungry. Feng'er, Grandma Zhu will take you to dinner later. Feng'er likes meat, right? Let's eat meat today, okay? Don't cry, just sit still, the milk will be here soon."
Zhu Yingqiu hugged Qian Gufeng and threatened to treat him to a meal, which finally coaxed him into submission.
"Sister Wangyou, you seem to have lost some weight recently, but are you not feeling well?" Qian Liangjie was sitting next to Jiang Wangyou.
From time to time, he would find topics to talk to Jiang Wangyou.
But Jiang Wangyou is a man of few words and doesn't like to talk, so he only replied to him with a few words.
Qian Liangjie suddenly felt bored and simply stopped talking.
"Zhou Yaren, please introduce yourself." Zhu Yingqiu took a sip of tea and said to Zhou Yaren.
"Yes, Madam Jiang, I have three shops in total, located in Huadie Lane, Zhuizhu Lane and Nishang Lane on Shibu Street, and all of them have backyards. The shop in Huadie Lane is slightly bigger, but also older. The shops in Zhuizhu Lane and Nishang Lane are smaller, but newer, so the prices of the three shops are similar."
Zhou Yaren stood in front of Zhu Yingqiu.
