NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 349
Chapter 348 The Dowry
After chatting for a while, Shen Hongmao invited Zhang Yan’s family to drink two pots of good tea, and the nanny finally came over to inform Zhang Yan and the others that lunch was ready.
Although Guan Minzhen’s cooking skills are better than the nanny present, it is not very good for Guan Minzhen to cook alone on such an important occasion. As the wife’s parent, she should accompany Zhang Yan’s family throughout the whole process.
So today, Zhang Yan’s family is not so lucky to be able to taste Guan Minzhen’s craftsmanship.
However, today, Shen Hongmao also specially invited a cook from outside to cook at home, and the nanny was just a little help, so in terms of dishes, naturally, there was no choice.
Such a table of meals also reflects the importance and welcome of Shen Hongmao’s family to Zhang Yan’s family.
After the two families were seated, there was another harmony.
After having a normal lunch, Shen Hongmao coughed lightly and brought the topic to the point.
“Brother, we are meeting here today for the sake of the children.””
“Actually, to be honest, I like and satisfy your son Xiao Zhang very much, and I also think that his marriage to my daughter is a match made in heaven. I just don’t know if you two have any opinions on the children’s affairs? Xiaoqing, although this girl I’ve been used to it since I was a child, but I don’t have the temperament of a little princess. If there is something she doesn’t do well
Although you two can say it here, we are both here, and we will definitely let her change. 9
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan and Li Li hurriedly waved their hands.
Li Li even said with a smile: “Look at what you are saying. Xiaoqing is such a good girl, she can’t find it with a lantern, how can we tell her bad things?
Zhang Wei also nodded and said seriously: “Yes, the first time I saw Xiaoqing girl, I fell in love with her, and felt that if this was my daughter-in-law, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.
“This girl is perfect, and I can’t find any faults. My son can find Xiaoqing, which is a blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes!”
“Uncle and auntie, you are too rewarding…” Shen Qing was a little shy, and couldn’t help lowering her head, her face turning a little red.
Zhang Wei laughed and said: “How can it be an award? This is what my uncle said. We are very satisfied with the matter between you and Zhang Yan. 55
Shen Hongmao laughed and said, “It’s fine as long as we are satisfied. We are also very satisfied with Zhang Yan.
“Adding the two children together is considered to be in love with each other. This thing is also simple.”
Guan Minzhen nodded and said: “Yes, in fact, let’s just go through the scene today, shall we? We all hit it off on the matter of the two children, and no one has any disagreement.
“Yes, yes, our family must have no opinion!” Li Li nodded quickly in response.
So, the next thing is rather simple.
The children and parents of both parties have no opinion, so the rest is to talk about the marriage of Zhang Yan and Shen Qing?
Seeing that the conversation at the table was progressing so quickly, Shen Qing became even more shy, while pretending to eat, Zhang Yan’s hand was under the table, trembling slightly.
Zhang Wei and Li Li were really well prepared for today’s parent meeting.
Even before they came, they had asked the old man who knew the folk customs to do some calculations, selected a few good wedding dates, and let the Shen Qing family decide.
Finally, after comprehensive consideration, Shen Qing and Zhang Yan got married tomorrow in March, which happened to be a good day, and the spring flowers were blooming, and the wedding venue was also very good.
As for the marriage process and rules, the Shen family doesn’t pay attention to these at all.
In Fengcheng, there are indeed certain rules for marriage, but this set of rules is too old and far from what young people like.
So (daah), Zhang Wei also waved his hand and said very considerately that the specific process of the wedding was all handled by the newlyweds Zhang Yan and Shen Qing.
If the two of them want to follow the old rules, then they can go to a wedding company, a hotel, etc.
If Zhang Yan and Shen Qing want to be a little more trendy, then they can do it according to their own ideas. The old couple has never seen anything in the world, and then they only need to participate, and they will not follow along.
Shen Qing originally thought that since Fengcheng has its own rules, it should be done according to the rules.
But Zhang Yan knows that Fengcheng’s marriage is still in the stage of embarrassing weddings that are popular between Chinese and Western marriages.
This kind of wedding process is really not worthy of the status of Shenqing.
A woman only gets married once in her life. Zhang Yan knows that Shen Qing is a person who likes romance, so she doesn’t want her only wedding to be sloppy.
Zhang Yan had a plan for marriage early in the morning, and planned to give Shen Qing an unforgettable wedding.
So if you have a wedding, you can’t do it according to Fengcheng’s rules.
Zhang Yan’s proposal made Shen Qing a little concerned, and she thought more about Zhang Wei and Li Li.
If their daughter-in-law is maverick, will it make them lose face in front of relatives?
In the end, Zhang Yan came up with the best of both worlds, which is to hold a formal wedding according to Zhang Yan and Shen Qing’s own ideas.
As for Fengcheng, just hold a banquet and simply go through the motions.
In this way, although it is a little troublesome, both sides have been taken into account.
Such an arrangement is thoughtful, and Shen Qing has no opinion.
As a result, everything about the wedding was settled. In March of the second year, the wedding process did not need to be bothered by the parents on both sides, and it was all decided by Zhang Yan and Shen Qing.
After arranging this matter, Zhang Wei rubbed his hands, and seeing that Shen Hongmao had not mentioned it for a long time, he simply took the initiative to propose the most crucial step in discussing marriage – the bride price.
Sure enough, just as Zhang Yan expected, Shen Hongmao immediately laughed when he heard these two words.
“Brother, when our children get married, do you still care about dowry and dowry?”
“You and your sister-in-law don’t need to worry about the dowry, our family doesn’t ask for anything, and we won’t think it’s disrespectful to my daughter.
“To be honest, a dowry of 10,000 yuan is the same as a dowry of 100 million yuan. I don’t ask for anything else. It’s good that my daughter can be happy when she marries Zhang Yan.”
After a pause, Shen Hongmao smiled again: “But then again, although we don’t ask for a dowry, I’m ready for Xiaoqing’s dowry.”
