After dinner, Liu Yuan went back directly. Aunt Zhang wanted to stay for a while, but there was no reason.

"Look what you are asking!" Father Zhang scolded.

"What's wrong with me? Yu An didn't say anything. You didn't let me mention the betrothal gift, and I didn't mention it either. Besides, I asked those questions, not all for the sake of our daughter!" Aunt Zhang defended.

"Mom, I don't need those things. If you ask like that and mention Mr. Liu's former official position, he must be unhappy..." Zhenniang also complained a little.

She was really scared just now. This marriage was originally planned by her. She was willing to marry her because of Mr. Liu's gentlemanly demeanor. But if her mother was so concerned about the problem, Mr. Liu might be annoyed and then not want to.

.

"Come on, it's me who is meddling in other people's business, so I won't care about it anymore. You can marry him as you please!" Aunt Zhang said angrily.

"Mom, that's not what I meant."

It is impossible for Zhenniang to make her mother angry. From now on, if she is closer to her mother's family, she still needs someone to support her.

Aunt Zhang was easy to coax, and she was coaxed by Zhenniang with just a few words. Then she hurried to prepare and brought Zhenniang everything she needed.

After that day, within a few days everyone heard rumors that Mr. Liu was going to marry Zhen Niang from the Zhang family. Last time, he brought many things over to propose marriage.

I don’t know who spread this rumor, but with noses and eyes, and indeed no one came out to clarify, it’s probably true.

After Aunt Zhang found her husband-in-law, she quickly forgot how she came to be a good son-in-law. She mentioned this matter when she went to talk to Yang Xu about the family affairs.

"There seems to be talk outside that Mr. Liu went to his house to propose marriage last time?"

Yang Xu didn't like to go out and listen to gossip. Even when she was pushing Tianbao out, she heard someone ask her, but she looked confused.

But it's not impossible to think about it. Although Zhenniang denied that she liked Mr. Liu last time, she still felt in her heart that Zhenniang liked Mr. Liu. Now that there are such rumors, it must be Mr. Liu's love for Zhenniang.

My mother was also interested, and they happened to be in love, so she went to propose marriage.

But when others asked, Yang Xu just replied that she didn't know. She just guessed, and it was definitely impossible to follow the rumors outside.

"It's true. Mr. Liu did go home to propose marriage last time. I came here today to tell you..." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"That's really congratulations. Mr. Liu is a very good person, and both in terms of knowledge and appearance, he is the best." Yang Xu said with a smile and congratulations.

"That's true. I'm also very happy. Our mother-in-law is lucky." Aunt Zhang also laughed.

Yang Xu said a few words to Aunt Zhang again. Both of them were very happy. Yang Xu was really happy for Zhenniang, while Aunt Zhang was proud to have such a good son-in-law like Liu Yuan.

"Has the wedding date been set?" Yang Xu asked.

"It's decided, we've chosen the second day of March. We've seen it and it's a good day." Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"Ah? Why are you in such a hurry? It's already February 17th, so there's only half a month to go. Is it too late?" Yang Xu asked in surprise.

Nowadays, when people get married, they usually get engaged half a year in advance before getting married. Just like Yan Yan, she got engaged years ago and didn't get married until the second half of the year.

A guilty conscience flashed across Aunt Zhang's face. Why was she in such a hurry? It wasn't Zhenniang's fault. She was afraid that if she got pregnant, people would gossip! The sooner the better.

"Well, our two families are close together, so there's nothing special about it. Mr. Liu doesn't have any elders in his family, so there's no special etiquette to say. So I just found a good day closer and let them get married.

"Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

"That's true, that's also good. Mr. Liu is not young now, so it would be better to get married earlier." Yang Xu said with a smile.

She was just a little confused, but when she thought about it later, she realized that there was really nothing to prepare for. When she got married, she only knew Brother Dayi for a few days and then married him directly.

Aunt Zhang sat there for a while and then went home. Yang Xu was also preparing to make lunch. Today, Xiao Yuanxiao followed Brother Dayi to the shop again. She prepared the meal at home. They should do the same after a while.

came back.

Now Xiao Yuanxiao can also eat some complementary food. Yang Xu has not yet been weaned, but he will feed him some complementary food. Sometimes a little millet soup, or chicken soup without salt, and some crushed egg yolks or

Fruit puree.

The kid really likes to eat, and he wasn't used to it at first, but after feeding it a few times, he wanted to eat it himself. He especially liked apple puree, maybe because it has a bit more flavor!

So it’s no problem for Brother Dayi to take him there all morning, and feeding him some complementary food is almost enough.

As soon as she came back at noon, Little Yuanxiao stretched out her hand towards Yang Xu to hold it. She also held a small wild flower in her hand and wanted to give it to Yang Xu.

"This kid still likes you more. This flower was given to him by the waiter in the shop to play with. He didn't break it. He refused to take it when I tried to hold it. Now it seems that it is reserved for you." Wang Dayi

Said jealously.

This bad boy, at this young age, knows how to please his mother, and he also knows that girls love flowers.

"Oh my little baby, I want to give it to my mother! You are so good~" Yang Xu gave her a kiss.

She used to like children, but she only liked well-behaved children. This baby of hers is a really considerate child who doesn't cry or fuss, and is very easy to take care of.

And he is very smart. Even when Yang Xu teases him, he still finds it interesting and cute.

Little Yuanxiao also laughed with her mother and tried to kiss Yang Xu, but ended up kissing Yang Xu with saliva all over her face.

"I fed him a small cup of hot water and half an apple puree in the morning. I'm afraid he's not very hungry now, but he's very energetic now. He didn't fall asleep all morning, so he just played there by himself all morning.

"When he came back, he seemed a little sleepy. Let him sleep for a while, then get up and feed him again!" Wang Dayi said.

Yang Xu nodded, took little Yuanxiao to wash his hands and face, and then changed him into clean and comfortable clothes before coaxing him to sleep.

"Little Yuanxiao is asleep, let's eat!"

While eating, Yang Xu mentioned the matter of Aunt Zhang's visit to the house today, and also talked about the marriage between Mr. Liu and Zhen Niang.

"I don't usually notice that Mr. Liu is interested in Zhenniang. Last time I thought it was Zhenniang who liked Mr. Liu," Yang Xu said.

Wang Dayi frowned after hearing this. He suddenly remembered that Aunt Zhang came to see Zhenniang the day before yesterday.

"The night before yesterday, Aunt Zhang knocked on the door, looking for Miss Zhang. You were asleep, so I forgot to tell you. Later, Miss Zhang was found again, so I didn't tell her. Now that I think about it, it's a little strange." Wang

Dayi said.

After saying this, even Yang Xu frowned. This seemed a bit strange indeed. How could Zhenniang, who was so good the night before, disappear? And she just disappeared. The next day, Mr. Liu went to propose marriage. How could she encounter this?

It's also a little strange at the same time.

This coincidence made me couldn't help but think elsewhere, but Mr. Liu doesn't look like that kind of person!

Yang Xu didn't say anything, she just thought it was a coincidence, but neither Zhenniang nor Mr. Liu felt that they were bad people.

The two of them didn't think anything more, but Liu Yu'an also heard these words outside. His first reaction was to panic. She also lives here. Did she also hear the rumors?

After realizing it, he himself found it ridiculous. Even if she knew about it, she probably wouldn't think anything of it. She might even feel good about it according to her temperament, so she might wish him well!

There is nothing to quibble about, after all, the rumors are true, and in half a month, he will marry that woman.

According to custom, before getting married, if the groom's elders come to give betrothal gifts, but Liu Yu'an has no elders, and he doesn't even plan to tell Aunt Tang and the others. Tang Tang is busy with official business now, so it is not good to let Aunt Tang come alone, so why not

If you don't tell them, it won't be a big deal anyway.

Liu Yuan directly prepared the betrothal gift. He was not short of money. Since he was destined not to be good to that woman in the future, he would give a heavier betrothal gift, but he would only keep the family heirlooms himself.

Zhen Niang was about to get married, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She embroidered her wedding dress stitch by stitch. Although the half-month time was shorter, she embroidered faster, so she still had time.

Yang Xu was not busy, so she came to Zhang's house to find Zhenniang. Now that Zhenniang was proud, she also thought that Liu Yu'an still had that woman in her heart, so she felt revengeful and let Yang Xu in.

"After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, I came to congratulate my sister." Yang Xu said with a smile.

She didn't come empty-handed, she brought a lot of snacks and some gold and silver threads.

"Thank you, Sister Yang." Zhenniang also smiled and thanked her.

"I have some gold and silver threads at home. I thought you would definitely want to embroider your wedding dress, so I brought them to you."

Gold thread and silver thread are both valuable things. You can buy them, but they are very expensive. What's more, there is no way that the things Yang Xu gave away were bad.

"Yes, I want to embroider the wedding dress, but I have already thought about the background color and pattern. I'm afraid I won't need the silk thread, so I just bothered my sister to bring it." Zhen Niang still said with a smile.

How could she use the thread given by this woman to make a wedding dress? Isn't this disgusting to herself!

"It's okay. Since I've already brought this thread, there's no reason to take it back. Zhenniang, if you like embroidery, I'll give it to you!"

Yang Xu felt something was wrong. Zhenniang was acting weird this time and the last time she talked to her, but she didn't think carefully about what was wrong.

"When my sister got married, how much did Brother Wang give her as a betrothal gift?" Zhenniang asked.

In fact, Zhenniang knew it. When Yang Xu got married, the countryside was poor and there was no betrothal gift. Zhenniang said this to offend Yang Xu!

"My family was poor at the time, so my uncle and aunt sold me to Brother Dayi. Brother Dayi's family was also poor, so there was no betrothal gift. It was just a little meat and a little sugar!" Yang Xu replied with a smile.

She didn't care about this either. Marrying Brother Dayi was a good choice at that time. She was really lucky. It seemed that she started by marrying Brother Dayi.

Although the betrothal gift was not much, it was normal. Why did she give her uncle and aunt an advantage? Moreover, the things that Brother Dayi later gave her were everything.

"Ah? That's a sad thing that touches Sister Yang. I originally wanted my sister to be a counselor. Mr. Liu gave so many betrothal gifts. I didn't know what to do or what dowry to bring.

Okay." Zhen Niang said shyly.

"Mr. Liu gave you a large betrothal gift because he values ​​you, not because he wants a large dowry. I believe that my aunt and uncle must know what they are doing and will prepare a dowry for you." Yang Xu comforted.

She also knew something about it. It seemed that the betrothal gift given by Liu Yuan was indeed quite large, and everyone around her was envious of it.

Zhenniang smiled on her face, but she gritted her teeth in her heart. This woman actually didn't feel envious at all!

Why did she envy her so much before, but now she doesn't envy herself at all!

Yang Xu didn't sit there for a long time. She felt that she and Zhenniang had nothing to talk about. They only talked about the marriage for a while and had nothing else to say, so they went home.

Originally, she wanted to ask about Zhenniang's disappearance that day, but in the end she didn't say anything. It was good now, and she couldn't cause more trouble.
