Chapter 180: Betrothal Gift List, Hasty Engagement!
Chapter 180: Betrothal Gift List, Hasty Engagement!
"Wei Min, give your betrothal gift list to Brother Qiao." Sun Chu looked at Zhou Weimin and said slowly.
"Uncle Sun, the betrothal gift list is still with Xu Hu." Zhou Weimin said somewhat embarrassedly.
Sun Chu was stunned when he heard Zhou Weimin's words, and his face looked a little embarrassed.
I originally wanted to end the marriage proposal as soon as possible and let Zhou Weimin command the troops.
But no one expected that the betrothal gift list was not with Zhou Weimin.
"Wei Min, ask Xu Hu to send it over quickly." Sun Chu said in a low voice.
But Sun Chu, Zhou Weimin and Qiao Anbang were sitting very close to each other, so of course Qiao Anbang heard the sound.
But now Qiao Anbang can't say anything, and dare not say anything.
Sun Chu and Qiao Anbang were talking fine yesterday, but Sun Chu suddenly did this today.
Qiao Anbang couldn't figure out what Sun Chu meant, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"Someone come here." After hearing Sun Chu's words, Zhou Weimin shouted outside.
Then two guards ran in.
But before you could hear the two guards salute Zhou Weimin, Zhou Weimin continued, "Go, tell Xu Hu to bring the betrothal gift list immediately."
Upon hearing this, the two guards saluted and said, "Yes!"
As the guards left.
Sun Chu said to Qiao Anbang, "Brother Qiao, Wei Min's betrothal gifts are quite a lot, so it will take some time to move them."
"Besides, Wei Min was in a hurry to come here this morning, so the betrothal gift list was given to Wei Min's guard."
Sun Chu knew that this was not a decent thing to do, so he comforted Qiao Anbang.
"I understand, I understand." Qiao Anbang said with a smile after hearing Sun Chu's words.
In fact, Qiao Anbang had been scolding Sun Chu in his heart for several minutes.
At this moment, even though Zhou Weimin didn't understand the marriage proposal procedure in the Republic of China, he knew that today's proposal was a bit strange.
Especially Qiao Anbang's expression of trying to please Sun Chu.
Although Zhou Weimin had noticed something, he did nothing and said nothing.
Anyway, for Zhou Weimin, as long as he succeeds today, it will be fine.
Zhou Weimin would not investigate what methods Sun Chu used.
However, Zhou Weimin still has to observe the necessary etiquette.
So Zhou Weimin stood up, saluted Qiao Anbang, and said, "Uncle Qiao, this is my fault."
"The betrothal gift list is such an important item, I should keep it with me."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words and seeing his actions, Qiao Anbang felt a little relieved.
So he said to Zhou Weimin, "Weimin, I don't really care about whether there is a betrothal gift or not."
"Although my Qiao family is not a wealthy family, we do have some assets. I, Qiao Anbang, only have this one daughter."
"From now on, everything in the Qiao family will belong to Lin Wei."
"I just hope that you can treat Lin Wei well in the future, and I will be satisfied."
What Qiao Anbang said was not just a face-saving move, but Qiao Anbang's true thoughts.
"Uncle Qiao, don't worry, I will treat Lin Wei well in the future." Zhou Weimin said quickly after hearing this.
"Okay, okay, sit down, you will be standing now." Qiao Anbang smiled slightly and said after hearing this.
And just after Qiao Anbang finished speaking.
It was also after Zhou Weimin just sat down.
Xu Hu trotted into the main courtyard, stopped in front of Zhou Weimin, saluted, took out the betrothal gift list from his arms, and handed it to Zhou Weimin with both hands.
After seeing the betrothal gift list, Zhou Weimin slowly stood up, took the list, walked to Qiao Anbang, and handed it to Qiao Anbang with both hands.
Qiao Anbang also stood up and took the betrothal gift list, but did not look at it. Instead, he asked Zhou Weimin to sit down.
After both parties sit down.
Sun Chu then slowly spoke, "Okay, okay, Brother Qiao, please accept Wei Min's betrothal gift."
"The marriage between Wei Min and Lin Wei's niece has been finalized. They can find a good date to get married later."
Zhou Weimin smiled when he heard Sun Chu's words.
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Qiao Anbang smiled, but he was already very unhappy with Sun Chu in his heart.
This engagement is completely different from what I discussed with Sun Chu yesterday.
Such an engagement was too hasty and too unfair to Qiao Linwei.
"Wei Min, now that your marriage with Lin Wei's niece has been finalized, you should hurry to the military camp!"
"As for the date of your wedding with niece Lin Wei, let Uncle Sun and your Uncle Qiao discuss it!"
Sun Chu saw that Zhou Weimin and Qiao Anbang were both smiling, so he slowly spoke to Zhou Weimin.
At this moment, Sun Chu just wanted Zhou Weimin to quickly command the troops.
You must know that the Japanese 37th Division will arrive at Chidong County in the afternoon, and Zhou Weimin has no time to prepare.
"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Sun." Zhou Weimin was stunned at first after hearing Sun Chu's words, then he thought about it and said.
Then he stood up and saluted Qiao Anbang, saying, "Uncle Qiao, I'm busy with military affairs, so I'll leave first."
After hearing this, Qiao Anbang could only say to Zhou Weimin, "I understand, I understand."
After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Zhou Weimin smiled apologetically and left with Xu Hu.
After Zhou Weimin and Xu Hu left.
Sun Chucai said to Qiao Anbang, "Brother Qiao, you should have heard about the Japanese attack on Chidong County!"
"But you probably don't know when the Japs will arrive in Chidong County, right?"
"I'm telling you, the Japanese 37th Division will arrive at Chidong County this afternoon."
"This is an entire Japanese division, more than 20,000 people!"
“Wei Min is now the supreme commander of Chidong County. He can’t waste too much time here.”
"That's why I want to complete Wei Min's marriage proposal as soon as possible, so that Wei Min can command the troops as soon as possible."
Originally, there was no need for Sun Chu to tell Qiao Anbang about these things. After all, Qiao Anbang was just a businessman.
But after Qiao Linwei and Zhou Weimin got engaged, Qiao Anbang's identity changed.
So Sun Chu didn't want to make Qiao Anbang feel uncomfortable because of such a small matter.
"Commander Sun, I understand. I was planning to hold an engagement party after my daughter got engaged."
"But given the current situation, who would dare to come to Chidong County?"
"Even those wealthy businessmen in Chidong County left Chidong County yesterday."
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Qiao Anbang was stunned for a moment, then slowly spoke to Sun Chu.
Originally, Qiao Anbang was very uncomfortable with this hasty engagement, but he felt better after Sun Chu's explanation.
Qiao Anbang is a person who cares extremely about his reputation.
Sun Chu's explanation gave Qiao Anbang face and also gave Qiao Anbang a way out.
Qiao Anbang took the opportunity to step down.
Besides, even if Qiao Anbang felt very uncomfortable, what could he do?
He, Qiao Anbang, is just a businessman.
Merchants have no rights in this era.
Even though Qiao Linwei and Zhou Weimin are engaged now, Qiao Anbang doesn't dare to offend Sun Chu.
Of course, with the engagement of Qiao Linwei and Zhou Weimin, Qiao Anbang's social status also improved a little.
At least Sun Chu will consider Qiao Anbang's feelings.
