Chapter 128 Discussing Marriage
"Ah!" Xie Qian was a little confused. Her father couldn't come up with anything, so what could she come up with?
But she didn't dare to delay and walked over obediently to take Tang Man's pulse.
After a while, she withdrew her hand and said uncertainly, "Grandpa, my sister-in-law is in good health and the baby is also healthy."
Mr. Xie glanced at Xie Qian without making any comment, but looked at Xie Yan, "Xiao Yan, come here."
Xie Yan sat down again and carefully felt Tang Man's pulse. In fact, he had just felt Tang Man's pulse this morning and he also felt that there was nothing wrong with Tang Man's body and the baby was also healthy. But since grandpa said so, he immediately felt Tang Man's pulse more carefully.
After a long time, he frowned and said, "Manman's pulse is smooth and strong, but mixed with some changes. I have never encountered this kind of pulse, nor have I seen it in books. I am a little confused about what is going on."
Mr. Xie nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xie Wenfeng again.
Xie Wenfeng said aloud, "It should be twins. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of pulse condition, so I am not too sure."
Mr. Xie's face was filled with more satisfaction. He looked at Tang Jianguo and his wife and said, "Manman, Xiao Tang, Xiao Li, I won't let you worry. The children at home have never encountered such a situation. I want to let them try and see if they can find anything different. Don't worry, Manman is in good health, and the two children are also healthy."
"Twins!!!" There was joy on everyone's face.
Xie Yan even squatted beside Tang Man and excitedly pulled her hand, "Wife, you are awesome."
Ugh! Shouldn't we say that the thank you banquet was great?
The four old men of the Xie family also came over happily to feel Tang Man's pulse.
Xie Qian had a dejected look on her face. Her father and elder brother could both feel that her sister-in-law's pulse was different from that of an ordinary pregnant woman, but she could not feel anything. Grandpa did not say anything to her at this moment because he did not want to embarrass her in front of her sister-in-law's family. He would definitely scold her later.
After chatting for a few more words, Uncle Chen came in and told everyone that it was time to eat.
Everyone went to the dining room.
Tang Man finally tasted the legendary Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The taste was simply intoxicating, especially the thick golden soup. Every sip was a gentle care for the taste buds, and it felt like the stomach was warmed.
While Tang Man was still enjoying the food, Mr. Xie and the others talked about the marriage of Xie Yan and Tang Man.
Because it is close to the end of the year, the wedding date is scheduled for half a month later. Xie Wenfeng and his wife chose the wedding date a few days ago. As for the preparations for the wedding, the family has already prepared them. What they need to do now is to entertain guests and discuss the bride price.
Tang Jianguo smiled as he looked at Tang Man standing beside him, and said with a smile, "As for the bride price, our family doesn't have any special requirements. We only have one request for Xiaoyan, and that is that we hope he can treat Manman well in the future."
Xie Wenfeng smiled and nodded, "Okay, we will prepare the betrothal gifts ourselves. Dear in-laws, my wife's family is a chef, and several of our brothers are skilled chefs. When we hold the wedding banquet, we will arrange for two brothers to be the chefs. What do you think? If you plan to hold it in a restaurant, that's fine too, and all the food expenses will be borne by the Xie family."
Tang Jianguo immediately waved his hand and said, "No, we can't let you bear all the expenses. We will pay for the food for the Tang family ourselves."
Xie Wenfeng said hurriedly, "Okay, these expenses should be paid by the Xie family. Manman has been following Xiaoyan for such a long time without any status, and the Xie family owes her. This time, everyone's expenses will be paid by the Xie family. This is our compensation to Manman."
Tang Ma slowly put the food that Xie Yan and Xie Qian had put into her bowl into her mouth. She looked at her father and then at her father-in-law. She had seen many fights over gifts and dowries, as well as all kinds of calculations in marriages, but this was the first time she saw people scrambling to pay.
Wow! How strange and unexpected.
The two fathers argued endlessly. Tang Man watched the fun and successfully ate too much. Because it was related to her own marriage, Tang Man still sat on the stool obediently without moving even though she was a little full.
Over there, several old men from the Xie family also joined the persuasion team. In the end, Tang Jianguo and his wife were persuaded. It wasn't really persuaded, but the couple couldn't convince the seven mouths from the Xie family, so they accepted the arrangement of the Xie family, and all the expenses were paid by the Xie family.
After talking about the marriage, Tang Jianguo and Xie Wenfeng were still sitting at the table drinking. Zheng Chunying took Tang Man and Li Wenjuan, and Xie Qian, who had followed them automatically, to the plum garden with Xie Wenfeng and took out her show cloth.
Zheng Chunying said that she showed a piece of cloth to Tang Man and Li Wenjuan, but in fact it was not the case. She showed a piece of royal blue embroidered cloth with a few irises embroidered on it only to Li Wenjuan.
Although this piece of cloth has not yet been made into clothing, Zheng Chunying has already laid out the pattern. As long as the size is measured, it can be directly cut and made into clothes.
She also embroidered a piece of cloth for Tang Man and Xie Yan, which was covered with intricate and gorgeous patterns, including phoenixes, golden dragons and soaring clouds.
Li Wenjuan gently stroked the delicate patterns on the cloth, her eyes full of admiration. She couldn't help but exclaim, "My mother-in-law's hands are so skillful. I am not like me who can only do some simple sewing and mending. I don't know anything about delicate work like embroidery."
It was also the first time that Tang Man saw such exquisite handmade embroidery. She couldn't help but be attracted by the beauty in front of her. She asked curiously, "Mom, such a complicated pattern, how much time and effort does it take to complete it!"
Zheng Chunying smiled and nodded. "It does take a lot of time. I started showing off this piece of cloth nine years ago. At that time, I wanted to make it into a wedding dress for Xiaoyan when she got married. At first, I wanted to make a phoenix crown and bridal robe, but I thought about it and gave up. I was worried that if I made it into a phoenix robe, would it bring some crime to our family?"
After explaining, Zheng Chunying took out the pattern and showed it to Tang Man. "Manman, take a look at this style. If you don't like it, we can make some changes."
Tang Man didn't know much about cheongsam, but the style on the drawing was pretty, so she smiled and nodded, "Just make it according to Mom's design. Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
"It's not hard." Zheng Chunying smiled and waved her hand, then took out a tape measure to measure the size of the mother and daughter.
After discussing the size, the four women sat together and chatted for a while before going back to the front yard.
Xie Wenfeng and his friends had finished their drinks and were now sitting in the main hall drinking tea.
After sitting for a while, Tang Jianguo stood up and said goodbye.
Xie Yan will stay at Xie Mansion tonight. When he sent Tang Man out of the alley, he was reluctant to let go.
Tang Man looked at Xie Yan helplessly and said, "I'm sleepy. I want to go back and rest early."
"Okay!" Xie Yan finally let go of his hand, helped Tang Man open the car door, and let Tang Man get in the car.
He took out the gifts he had prepared for Tang Jianguo and his wife and Tang Ling from his bag.
After chatting with the three of them for a few words, Xie Yan walked to the window again and rubbed Tang Man's head with his hand. "Take the clothes back and put them aside first. I'll come over to help you sort them out tomorrow morning."
"It's just a few pieces of clothes. I can sort them out myself." After getting married, she would live in Xie's house most of the time, so she only brought a few sets of clothes back to the Tang family, and the rest of the clothes were left in Xie's house.
Xie Yan did not stop him, but asked something else, "What do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow? I'll buy it for you."
Tang Man thought about it, and didn't feel like eating anything in particular at the moment, so she said, "Just something light."
