Chapter 794 Qingxia's Marriage
Chapter 794 Qingxia's Marriage
The two sisters who were originally skinny and small have now grown into graceful young ladies. Although Qingqiu is two years younger, she is already as tall as her sister Qingxia.
At this time, the two people wearing light-colored dresses came forward to greet Hualei in a proper manner when they saw her. However, Qingxia, who was already very experienced, blushed this time, looking shy and nervous.
"Qingxia, Qingqiu, please sit down. Do you have something to talk to me about?" Hua Lei had tea served and asked directly.
Qingxia, who had just sat down, stood up again and knelt in front of Hualei. "Boss, I came here this time to ask you to check on me. Do you think Lu Xiaoshu from Boss Liang's textile workshop is someone I can entrust my life to?"
Although she was shy and nervous, Qingxia, who was efficient and capable, directly explained the reason why she came to find Hualei.
It turned out that when Qingxia was working at Hualei's newly opened dyeing workshop, she met Lu Xiaoshu, the manager of Liang Xiangyi's linen weaving workshop.
The two of them had a lot of things to coordinate, and after a few interactions, they fell in love with each other, so Qingxia wanted to ask Hualei for her opinion.
"Lu Xiaoshu? Does he like you?" Hualei carefully searched her memory for Lu Xiaoshu's appearance and thought that he looked OK and was a good match for Qingxia. After a pause, she continued.
"Well... this person is quite capable and efficient, but he seems a little dull... Well, he's not dull, but honest. Do you like him too?" Hua Lei changed her words temporarily.
Although she is the boss, she cannot slander the person she likes in front of her subordinates.
Besides, she was already worried about finding a husband for her two sisters. Now Qingxia has a target, Hualei is happy, but she also wants to check her carefully.
This Lu Xiaoshu is a minor manager inside Liang Xiangyi Fabric Workshop. Hua Lei also knows him. He is 20 years old and has no problem with his ability to do work and his character.
But he is a man of few words and very dull. To put it bluntly, he is a man who can't even fart even if you hit him with three sticks. I don't know if it's because of his silence or other reasons that he has never married.
However, Qingxia's personality and temperament are completely different from Lu Xiaoshu's. She is efficient, straightforward, and eloquent. Sometimes, Hualei feels that Qingxia is a bit talkative.
Hualei was a little worried that Qingxia might find it boring if she stayed with the taciturn Lu Xiaoshu after a while.
"Is Lu Xiaoshu not talkative? It would be very hard for two people to be together if they can't communicate with each other." Hua Lei said hesitantly.
"Well, although he doesn't talk much, he's good at doing things. Besides, I'm a talkative person, so it's good that one of us talks a lot and the other doesn't. Otherwise, both of us would like to chatter and quarrels would be easy to happen." Qingxia explained softly.
Is it still possible to think in this way? It seems to be right. To use the words of my previous life, our personalities complement each other.
"If you two think each other is good, I have no objection. Do you want me to talk to Mrs. Liang about it? I think she will agree."
How about this, you have been with me for more than ten years, when the time comes, your dowry will be prepared just like the people in the farm before, and in addition, I will give you two hundred taels of silver as a deposit. Just know this for yourself."
Since both of them are satisfied, Hua Lei is also happy to see it happen.
"No need for dowry, boss. Xiaoshu is marrying into the Hua family." Qingxia said with a blushing face.
"Ah......?" Hualei, who originally thought she was going to lose a right-hand man, opened her mouth in surprise. "Really? He agreed?" You know, here, it's rare for a man to marry into a woman's family, and it will be looked down upon.
Qingxia nodded affirmatively, and then quietly explained the reason why Lu Xiaoshu married into the family.
It turned out that when Lu Xiaoshu was three years old, his parents died one after another, and he grew up with his brother and sister-in-law, but his brother and sister-in-law were not kind. Lu Xiaoshu was not well fed and had no warm clothes since he was a child.
When he was seven years old, his brother and sister-in-law sold him to a pawnbroker for two taels of silver to be married to their nephew. From then on, the seven-year-old Xiaoshu went through many hardships, and was bought by Liang Xiangyi when he was twelve years old. His life gradually became better until now.
Since being sold, Lu Xiaoshu has not seen his brother and sister-in-law. At that time, because he was sold by his brother and sister-in-law, he had no obsession with his surname.
Therefore, for him, marrying a daughter-in-law or marrying into the wife's family is not a big deal at all.
"Okay, as long as you two agree, I have no objection." Hua Lei was very happy. It turned out that not only would she not lose a right-hand man, but she might even have an additional capable subordinate in the future.
However, Liang Xiangyi might be unhappy. Of course, this was not within Hualei's consideration.
Qingxia was also very happy to see Hualei's happy expression. It seemed that the decision to let Lu Xiaoshu marry into the family was the right one.
After a pause, she continued, "Boss, you may have to go back to the capital during the Chinese New Year. However, the dyeing workshop must continue.
And right now, there is no one in Xichang who can take over this mess. If the boss agrees, I want to stay here and wait a few years. I also talked about this with Lu Xiaoshu, and he agreed to stay here. "
"Okay, no problem. Then when are you going to hold the wedding? You're not young anymore. Xiaoshu is about your age, so it's appropriate to get married now.
By the way, since she is marrying into the family, we can’t treat her unfairly, we have to give her the betrothal gifts she deserves.” Hua Lei asked Qing Xia.
"Thank you, Master. However, Qingxia would like to ask Master Liang for help. Please ask her to give you Xiaoshu's indenture. In this way, Xiaoshu will be Master's subordinate in the future.
Otherwise, the husband and wife will each serve their own master, and it will be difficult to do things in the future. As for the betrothal gift, I have been working on the farm for so long and have saved a lot of money, so the boss doesn't have to spend money.
As for the wedding, my idea is to keep it simple. When the time comes, I can just prepare a few tables and invite the people in the farm to have a meal." Qingxia said in a clear tone.
"As for the indenture, there shouldn't be any problem. I'll pick a time to talk to Mr. Liang about it. Also, since you're marrying a daughter-in-law, you should make the same preparations as the man who married a daughter-in-law in the farm before.
In addition, I will give you another two hundred taels of silver as a deposit, you can make your own plans." Hua Lei has never been stingy, and Qing Xia has been with her for so many years.
"Qingxia thanks the boss." Qingxia knelt down happily and kowtowed. Qingxia has always been very grateful to the boss who saved her sisters from dire straits.
"By the way, Qingqiu, what about you? You are not young anymore. Do you have someone you like? If so, tell me and I will help you check it out."
