Chapter 46: Accepting the Marriage

Mr. Liang was born in the Liang family of Jing'an, and Lin was born in the Lin family of Jing'an.

However, the Lin family is only a small household compared to the Liang family, so she understands the sufferings of small businessmen better than Mr. Liang.

In the past, they lived in the Liang family. Although they were not valued, at least they had no worries about food and drink. But now they have left the Liang family in Jing'an and established their own business.

Bastards like them have no choice but to make a living on their own after leaving the family.

Maybe they can borrow some help from the Liang family, but at most they can have a fairly stable livelihood.

For example, in their cloth shop, with the Liang family, they have a stable purchase channel.

But the Liang family can only give them so much. If they want to live a better life, they can only rely on themselves.

If they can make some achievements in the future and win the attention of the Liang family, then they can return to the Liang family, otherwise they will just be a small merchant.

"But we don't understand the Yang family!" Mr. Liang expressed his concerns.

He didn't think the Yang family was bad, nor did he think Yang Zhengshan was too rude yesterday. He was just worried about the unfamiliar Yang family.

That was his daughter, and he was afraid that his daughter would marry into a bad family and have a difficult life in the future.

"Then go and find out!"

"Yangjiacun is not far from the county seat. If that doesn't work, go to Yangjiacun and have a look!"

Lin said dissatisfied.

As a husband, he is good at everything, but he has no independent opinion.

When something happens, I will panic and have no idea.

"Then let me go and find out?" Mr. Liang hesitated.

"Go back quickly!" Mrs. Lin drove them away directly.

Mr. Liang didn't waste any time and immediately went out to Yangjiacun.

After Mr. Liang left, Mrs. Lin glanced in the direction of the back room with some humor.

"Your father is gone, why are you still hiding?"

After hearing her words, Liang Zhen walked out of the back room with a blushing face.

"mother!"

"come over!"

Mrs. Lin waved her hand, called her to him, and stretched out her hand to straighten the bun on her head.

"Mom, I don't want to get married yet!" Liang Zhen lowered her head with a blush on her face.

Ms. Lin shook her head slightly and said with a gentle smile: "You are no longer a little girl, it's time to kiss her."

"But I still want to stay with my parents for a few more years!" Liang Zhen raised her head, her clear eyes full of worry and reluctance.

"It's not like I'm asking you to get married now. Even if we get engaged, my mother will keep you for two years." Mrs. Lin reached out and touched her forehead, smiling lightly.

Liang Zhen is only fourteen years old this year. Although she has reached the age to talk about marriage, she is not in a hurry to get married.

"But!" Liang Zhen was still uneasy.

The little girl felt very uneasy about getting married. She used to live in the Liang family and knew a lot about the secrets in the Liang family's backyard. She also heard many tragedies about married girls.

Mrs. Lin also guessed what she was thinking, but she said very easily: "Although your father is a little confused, he still loves you very much. He will not let you be a concubine."

Mr. Liang is a concubine, so he is particularly sensitive to the distinction between concubine and concubine.

He did not want his daughter to be a concubine, nor did he want his descendants to have concubines.

This was one of the reasons why he was willing to leave the Liang family.

In the Liang family, he couldn't even make the decision about his own daughter's marriage, let alone anything else.

…

I don’t know how Mr. Liang inquired about the Yang family. Anyway, Mrs. Wang brought a reply a few days later.

Mr. Liang initially agreed to the marriage between the two families, but whether the marriage could be possible would require formal contact between the two families.

The day after receiving Mrs. Wang's reply, Yang Zhengshan took Yang Mingzhi to formally visit Mr. Liang.

It's a visit to a friend in name, but actually it's a blind date.

Visiting friends is to maintain the face of the two families. If the marriage fails, it will not damage the reputation of the two families.

This was Wang's idea for Yang Zhengshan.

According to Wang, this is how everyone talks about getting married. First, find some name for the two families to get in touch with each other. If it is suitable, the marriage will be finalized.

During this visit, Yang Zhengshan not only met Mr. Liang, but also Mr. Lin.

Although Mrs. Lin is a woman, she is much smarter than Mr. Liang.

At noon, Yang Zhengshan stayed at the Liang family and had a meal with Mr. Liang.

After three rounds of drinking, the two of them were no longer strangers.

"Brother Yang, although I am a little stupid, I understand that I can't come back to the Liang family now!"

"I don't care about the Liang family either, but I feel so angry that I can't swallow it!"

"They looked down on me and kicked me out like this. I was unwilling to accept it!"

Mr. Liang was not a good drinker. After a few glasses of wine, he vomited out everything.

"Haha, it's just the Liang family. If you don't go back, you can't go back. I believe that as long as Brother Liang works hard, he will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future!"

"At that time, even if the Liang family wants to invite Brother Liang back, it depends on whether Brother Liang is willing!"

Yang Zhengshan said in agreement.

"That's right. The Liang family wants to invite me back in the future. Unless the eldest brother comes in person, I will never go back." Mr. Liang said with a flushed face and a loud tongue.

"Come on, come on, have a drink!" Yang Zhengshan greeted him to drink.

This dear man, he has seen through it all.

He is a simple-minded person.

Such people may seem a bit silly, but they are the most suitable to associate with.

Because he won't play tricks on you.

Compared with those people who behave one way in front of others and another behind the scenes, Yang Zhengshan is still happy to be friends with Mr. Liang.

After a few more glasses of wine, Mr. Liang completely collapsed on the table.

However, his son Liang Xiu was still sitting on the table. The six-year-old child entertained Yang Minghao like a little adult.

"If you dare to bully my sister, I will bite you even if I risk my life!"

Yang Minghao looked at his future brother-in-law and scratched his head in embarrassment.

My brother-in-law is so cruel!

what to do?

His face turned red, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "I won't bully your sister!"

"That's good! Don't think that because I'm young, I can't make decisions for my sister. You have to remember that my sister also has brothers." Liang Xiu's round face had a calmness and seriousness that did not suit his age.

Yang Zhengshan next to him raised the corners of his mouth slightly after hearing this, and then took a drink of wine.

"Brother Xiu, don't worry. Shibo can guarantee that your sister will not be bullied in any way in the Yang family. If someone bullies her, Shibo, I will make the decision for her!"

Yang Zhengshan did not look down upon this child and said with a very serious expression.

Liang Xiu looked up at him, then nodded and said, "I believe Shibo!"

Mr. Liang is a bit unreliable as a father, but his son seems to be very understanding.

At a young age, I knew how to support my sister.

He was very strict in doing things, and although he looked very immature, Yang Zhengshan felt that this kid had the potential to become a great person.

After having enough wine and food, Yang Zhengshan stood up and left.

A few days later, Mr. Liang brought his wife and children to the Yang family's door again, and Yang Zhengshan gave him the same warm reception.

Then, Yang Zhengshan began to prepare gifts for Nacai.

Nacai means marriage proposal. According to local customs, if a man wants to get married to a woman, the man's family sends a matchmaker to the woman's family to propose marriage and gives gifts to propose marriage. After getting the answer, the matchmaker is asked to formally accept the "gift of selection" from the bride's family.

If you are in the countryside, these etiquettes can be saved as much as possible. After all, everyone's life is difficult, so we can't be too extravagant and wasteful.

But now that the Yang family has become prosperous, Yang Zhengshan feels that the proper etiquette cannot be skipped.

Since the last banquet, the Yang family has been listed as a large family in Anning County. It may not be as good as those wealthy families, but it is also the richest family in the ten miles and eight towns.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan prepared more than 30 kinds of gifts for the marriage proposal, many of which were valuable. This was considered as giving the Liang family face.

Outside Liang's Cloth Shop, Mr. Liang looked at the gifts brought to him, his face glowing red, he felt excited and uplifted.

"This is a good match!"

He said to Lin approvingly.

Mrs. Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had contacted the Yang family several times, the matter had not been settled and they still could not settle down.

Now that they see that the Yang family values ​​their daughter so much, they naturally feel very settled.

After the acceptance is over, it is the combination of eight characters. Yang Zhengshan no longer needs to worry about this matter. Wang and Li can just help arrange it.

As for getting married, the two parties have agreed to get married in two years. Yang Mingzhi and Liang Zhen are both young now, and they will only be sixteen in two years. It will not be too late to get married by then.

After the marriage was finalized, Yang Zhengshan began to pack his luggage and prepare to go to Chongshanguan.
