Chu Xiao didn't know how long he could stay when he came back this time. Xiao Jin'er, Jun'er and Xiao Shan missed Chu Xiao very much and pestered him every day. Naturally, Xiao Jin'er would also take Xiao Mingyue with him.
After coming and going, unconsciously, the relationship between Chu Xiao and Xiao Mingyue continued to heat up. Looking at the sweetheart in front of him, Chu Xiao had the idea of ??rushing forward to confess many times, but he dismissed them all.
He still remembered what Fang Po said, Xiao Mingyue was the eldest lady of the Xiao family, not to mention the difference in the living environment between the two since they were young, the young lady of a rich family naturally wanted to find a young lady of the right family.
Whenever thinking of this, Chu Xiao felt worried.
However, the good times didn't last long. The Qiao family, another family in Lingnan Mansion, suddenly came to propose marriage to the Xiao family, which really surprised Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao.
Then Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Qiao have some friendship, and Mrs. Qiao said straight to the point: "Mrs. Xiao, you see, as the saying goes, a man should be married when he is older, and a girl should be married if he is older. It just so happens that my youngest son doesn't have a wife. I'm not married either, why not"
Mrs. Xiao naturally understood what the Qiao family meant, and she wanted her daughter to marry a well-matched family. It would be great if she could marry into the Qiao family, but I heard that the youngest son of the Qiao family was weak and sickly.
Seeing Mrs. Xiao's hesitant expression, Mrs. Qiao quickly smiled and said, "Hey, you can think about this matter carefully. It is said that the matchmaker's order is the order of the parents. It is also peace of mind if we book it privately."
Mrs. Xiao nodded her head again and again. The Xiao family and the Qiao family knew each other well. She would be at ease if Xiao Mingyue was handed over, but Xiao Mingyue is not at home now.
No, she has to find Xiao Mingyue back!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao suddenly stood up, which really shocked Mrs. Qiao. It so happened that Xiao Chenzhou came back from going out to do some errands at this time, Madam Xiao immediately called him over.
"Shen Zhou, come here quickly and talk to your Aunt Qiao about your sister's marriage."
Xiao Chenzhou saw Mrs. Qiao frowned, and when he heard about Xiao Mingyue's marriage, he immediately became interested.
Mrs. Xiao sighed softly: "Mrs. Qiao, it's just that my daughter is too naughty. She's not at home now. This matter"
"It's okay, I will make the decision for her in this marriage."
Before Mrs. Xiao could finish speaking, Xiao Chenzhou interrupted. He really wanted to marry Xiao Mingyue as soon as possible, so as to save trouble.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Chenzhou in surprise, but thinking about Xiao Chenzhou as an older brother, he must have thought it through carefully.
I only heard Xiao Chenzhou speak slowly: "As long as the Qiao family can offer 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry gift, then we will marry Mingyue to you."
Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Qiao looked at Xiao Chenzhou in surprise when they heard this, they just thought he was joking, 10,000 taels is not a small amount, although the Qiao family is a big family, but the bride price alone costs 10,000 taels, then Wouldn't it be more expensive to hold a banquet?
Mrs. Qiao's complexion became uneasy in an instant, and she said with a sullen face: "This marriage is not a child's play, and I hope you will think about it carefully. I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I will go back first."
Mrs. Qiao's personal maid hurriedly helped her back, and Mrs. Xiao also saw that Mrs. Qiao's expression was unnatural. She asked coldly, "Shen Zhou, what are you doing? Why do you ask someone for such a How much gift money?"
"Mother, you don't know something. The more you ask for this gift, the more important it will be. What's more, the Qiao family is not a small family, so you can't afford it for just 10,000 taels? Don't you want to treat it badly?" Our Mingyue?"
Although Xiao Chenzhou said so, he had other calculations in his heart, but naturally he would not tell Mrs. Xiao what he really thought in his heart, otherwise his position as the trustee of the Xiao family might not be guaranteed.
At this time, Xiao Mingyue and Chu Xiao didn't know that the obstacles between them had increased again. Mrs. Xiao sent people to Chu Rong's shop to look for Xiao Mingyue, but they couldn't find her, so she had to ask the shopkeeper to bring the message.
For a while, news that the Qiao family proposed marriage to Xiao Mingyue to Xiao Mingyue spread all over Huangjia Village. Chu Xiao looked at Xiao Mingyue in shock and asked, "Ms. Mingyue, are you getting married?"
"No, I don't know about it at all!" Xiao Mingyue quickly explained.
She hasn't figured out what happened yet, let alone this marriage, she won't agree to anything! With her sweetheart right in front of her eyes, how could she leave?
Chu Rong was also a little worried when she heard that, and quickly asked: "Mingyue, did the people from the Xiao family agree to marry you off?"
"Sister, I don't want to marry someone from the Qiao family.??Go! It's good for me to stay here! "
Xiao Mingyue's eyes shone brightly, her face was firm, no one could stop her decision.
Standing aside and looking at the confident Xiao Mingyue, Chu Xiao felt his heart beating faster and faster. He wanted to tell Xiao Mingyue something a long time ago, but he didn't say it for a long time. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
