Chapter 3082 Chapter 3084 [Speaking of relatives]
Tian Xiaoe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that Xiang Nan's family had no airs and was quite amiable.
She was worried that after arriving in Bailuyuan, she might suffer some inhuman abuse.
After all, Xiang Nan said that she is the reincarnation of a vixen. And in folktales, vixen never end well.
So she was afraid that Xiang Nan would insult, beat, and imprison her, so she was apprehensive all the way.
Now seeing that they didn't dislike her at all, and let her eat at the same table, her fear was naturally reduced a lot.
After eating, Tian Xiaoe washed the pot and washed the dishes.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan took her to an empty room, "This will be your room from now on, the pillows, quilts, quilts, and even the toilet are new.
You make do with it for one night today, and tomorrow I'll get someone to help you get a briquette stove. This will make you sleep warmer at night. "
"No need, this is fine." Tian Xiao'e waved her hand quickly.
To be honest, her treatment has far exceeded her imagination.
"You're welcome. From now on, everyone will be a family and live under the same roof. They should take care of each other." Xiang Nan said.
Hearing what he said, Tian Xiaoe was stunned for a moment, feeling a warm current surge in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, no one has treated her so well, and she couldn't help but be moved.
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan really asked the craftsman to help Tian Xiaoe set up a briquette stove, so that it would not be too cold to sleep at night.
It was the first time for Tian Xiaoe to see a briquette stove, and she couldn't help but feel that it was very novel.
At the same time, Lu San also invited a matchmaker to help his son find a good girl.
"Third brother, your son is a god, and he wants to marry a wife?" the matchmaker asked in surprise.
"What are you talking about, my son is a cultivator, not a monk, why can't he marry a wife?" Lu San stared.
"Yes, yes, yes, I said something wrong." The matchmaker quickly waved her hand, she couldn't tell the difference between Taoism, Buddhism, and immortality, "Does the little fairy have any requirements?"
"My son said, regardless of family background, the most important thing is to look good." Lu San said.
"That's easy. There aren't many good-looking girls, as long as the little fairy asks, so many people are willing to marry." The matchmaker laughed.
Lu San nodded, handed over a red envelope and said, "Then please take more care of me, and I will give you a big thank you after it is done."
"Don't worry, it's all on me." The matchmaker said happily.
…
Afterwards, Xiang Nan wanted to talk about his daughter-in-law, and spread it all over a radius of a hundred miles.
Families with girls of the same age at home, upon hearing this, were all ready to move, wanting to marry Xiang Nan.
Firstly, the little gods are gods, who can ride the clouds and fog, call the wind and rain, hang pots to help the world, and prophets. If you are in-laws with such a person, once the little gods get enlightened in the future, wouldn't they also be able to follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven;
Secondly, even if the little **** is not a god, he is still rich, and he can be regarded as a first-class wealthy household in Zishui County. And even the magistrate is his friend.
Such a person with wealth, status, and ability, even if he is not a god, there are many people who want to get married.
As a result, the matchmaker almost broke through the door of Xiang Nan's house.
Xiang Nan was also dazzled by this, and at least ten families came to the temple under the banner of burning incense and worshiping gods a day for him to select.
Actually, other people say that relatives are far from having this kind of treatment.
It seems that Mr. Leng told Lu Zhaopeng and Bai Xiaowu his two daughters, Leng Qiuyue and Leng Qiushui.
They didn't even meet each other before they officially married into the door.
Bai Jiaxuan married a seven-bedroom wife. Except for Xiancao, he had never seen the other six people before they entered the house.
Therefore, there are not many people in Manzishui County who can choose a good-looking wife like Xiang Nan.
…
After some selection, Xiang Nan finally chose Zhang Ziqing, the second daughter of a family surnamed Zhang in Zishui County.
This girl is just sixteen years old this year, and she is as watery as a flower. She is also very pretty, and her eyebrows and eyes are 90% similar to the female star Dong Jie.
So Xiang Nan fell in love with her at first sight, so he settled on her.
Zhang’s family is in business in the county, and the Xiangyun cloth store is his family’s business. It has been doing this since the older generation, and it has been open for nearly a hundred years.
Therefore, the family is well-off, and can be considered above the middle class in the county.
Xiang Nan also secretly inquired about the Zhang family's family style is not bad. There are no men who commit crimes in three generations, and no remarried women in five generations. It is fair to do business, and the neighbors on the left and right speak highly of his family.
Therefore, this marriage was decided in this way, and it was agreed that they would officially get married in December this year.
The Zhang family also wanted to marry their daughter earlier, but Zhang Ziqing also has an older sister, Zhang Zijun, who is 18 years old this year and has already been betrothed to someone else, and is scheduled to get married in August.
Zhang Ziqing is the second child and cannot marry earlier than her elder sister, so she decided to get married in December.
It is not uncommon in the Republic of China to get married at the age of sixteen.
Bai Jiaxuan, Bai Xiaowen, and Bai Xiaowu were all married at the age of sixteen.
Because at that time, marrying a daughter-in-law was an import of adding a child, that is, adding a labor force to the family.
After the daughter-in-law enters the house, she has to spin and weave, clean the house, wash and cook, and have children... So the sooner you marry, the better, and this is why there were such things as child brides in ancient times.
Moreover, the daughter-in-law is usually older than the man, which is good for childbearing and work.
Bai Jiaxuan's first wife was two years older than him, Bai Xiaowen's first wife was three years older than him, and Bai Xiaowu's wife Leng Qiushui was also two years older than him.
As for the bride’s family, they are also willing to marry their daughter off earlier.
Firstly, it can be exchanged for a generous bride price; secondly, due to the social atmosphere at that time, a girl who was nineteen years old before she got married was already the talk of the neighbors, three aunts and six wives, thinking that no one wanted it.
…
Although Xiang Nan is already engaged to the Zhang family, there are still a lot of people who want to marry him.
After all, in the Republic of China, people are worthless, not as valuable as a cow.
Especially for women, the money they earn from spinning and weaving at home is not even enough for their own food in exchange for food.
That's why the daughter was regarded as a "loser" at that time, pointing to the fact that she would be able to exchange for a bride price when she married in the future.
So many people want to send their daughters here.
If the main house is not successful, you can still be a concubine.
It is not possible to be a concubine, but you can still be a maid.
In this way, you can earn a share of money and save a share of rations. For many people, it is a very cost-effective thing.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but lament for a while.
Hundred years later, if a boy wants to marry a wife, he has to empty out six wallets. How can he know that it is not a sin committed over thousands of years.
As for the kindness of these people, he did not accept it.
Come on, he is not a hungry ghost, Zhang Ziqing and Tian Xiaoe are enough. Unlike Lu Zilin, who wants all kinds of fishy and smelly things, making the whole place his illegitimate son;
Secondly, having too many women is troublesome. Jealousy and intrigue. Xiang Nan wanted to live a peaceful life, but he didn't want to get himself into trouble.
Therefore, he rejected all requests for concubines. However, out of kindness, two girls were left behind.
