Hearing Pang Zongming's question, Jiang Feng smiled and said: "I can't say that the real person is exactly the same as the photo, but the difference is really very small, because this is the photo I asked her to take, and I specifically told her not to use makeup."
Pang Zongming nodded secretly. He is 29 years old this year. His parents started urging marriage a few years ago. Especially in the past two or three years, his parents not only urged marriage, but also asked matchmakers to introduce him to several partners.
He originally didn't want to go on a blind date, but his parents took turns to persuade him, and they swore that they were just going to have a look. If they were satisfied, they would look around. If they were not satisfied, they wouldn't force him.
For this reason, Pang Zongming couldn't refuse, so he went on several blind dates.
It's just that the matchmaker hired by his parents was not very reliable. Before they met, he praised the woman as how outstanding she was. However, when they met, it might be a bit exaggerated to say that she was terrible, but based on the overall conditions, there was really no one he could like.
It was a neighbor aunt who introduced him to a very good person. Unfortunately, he fell in love with her, but she didn't like him, so he had no choice but to give up.
Pang Zongming felt that the introduction of the matchmaker Jiang in front of him was quite reliable, so he continued to ask: "Matchmaker Jiang, I wonder what the situation is like in this girl's family?"
"Her family is a super big family..." Jiang Feng told Deng Jiujiu's family situation in detail without hiding anything.
Pang Zongming became more and more surprised the more he listened, and his mouth did not close during the whole process.
After introducing the situation of Deng Jiujiu's family, Jiang Feng said with a smile: "Actually, after you marry her, you will have more relatives. Others will not have much impact."
Pang Zongming's mouth twitched when he heard that there were not more relatives, but a frightening number. He couldn't help but asked with some worry: "Mr. Jiang, this girl is not the legendary Brother-Fu Demon, right?"
Jiang Feng shook his head and said: "Boss, don't worry about this. If her family has more boys than girls, the family burden will indeed be unimaginably heavy. But if her family has more girls than boys, it's completely different. This
You should understand."
Pang Zongming was nearly thirty years old, so he naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Feng's words and admitted that it made sense. After he no longer had any worries in this regard, he seriously considered whether it would be appropriate to be with such a girl.
First of all, a girl from this kind of family must be able to endure hardships and stand hard work. She definitely doesn’t have the temper of a young lady. Moreover, she is quite content with her marriage and will not be too ambitious. She can easily handle all kinds of housework, take care of children, etc., and can make people feel comfortable.
Men work peacefully outside.
If you observe carefully, you will find that most of these girls have a lifelong mindset. As long as you don't treat her too much, she will never think about divorcing you.
Unlike some women who always talk about the word divorce and say goodbye to you when life is not going well for you.
The more he wanted to favor Zong Ming, the more he felt that this girl was really suitable for him. He immediately expressed his position: "Matchmaker Jiang, I am very interested in this girl you introduced."
Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Since you are interested, I will arrange for you to meet in the afternoon, okay?"
This was not Pang Zongming's first blind date. Hearing this, he answered: "Okay, then I'll book a restaurant. I wonder what time she will get off work?"
Jiang Feng said: "She works the morning shift today and gets off work at five o'clock in the afternoon."
"Then the meal time is set at six o'clock?"
"Can."
"There is a specialty restaurant nearby, let's go there to eat in the afternoon, no problem!"
"No problem, boss, just make arrangements."
"Okay, then it's settled."
Next, the two exchanged contact numbers, and Jiang Feng drove away.
…
Tongzhou County.
Longhu hot pot restaurant.
"Jiuliu, this mutton roll is delicious, please eat more."
"Ling Ling, this duck blood tastes hot to the mouth. Please wait until it cools down a bit before eating it."
"Jiuliu, these beef balls are made of fresh beef, you can eat them with confidence."
"Ling Ling, don't you like to eat hairy tripe? This method of boiling hairy tripe requires "seven ups and eight downs". It takes about fifteen seconds in total. The hairy tripe cooked in this way will be very refreshing and delicious."
"Ninety-six..."
"Zero zero..."
Looking at the attentive looks of his two sons, Jiang San knew something in his heart. He filled his stomach three times five times two and then let the Deng sisters eat slowly. Then he walked out of the box and found a deserted place to feed Master Jiang.
Call up.
As soon as the call was connected, both parties greeted each other politely, and Jiang San went straight to the point: "Master Jiang, it's like this. After a few days of getting along, my two sons are very satisfied with the Deng sisters, so I want to talk to them.
Master Jiang, please discuss the betrothal gift. I don’t know how much betrothal gift is appropriate?”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Boss Jiang, please wait a moment. I will discuss it with the girl's parents first and ask them for their opinions. I will call you when there is a result."
Jiang San responded: "Okay, then I'll wait for your call."
…
Yong'an Village, Taiping Town, Xin'an County.
Deng Da was sitting at the door of his house, holding a hookah and smoking a hookah. His mood now was completely different from the mood a week ago.
A week ago, Deng Da received the guidance of the matchmaker "Aunt Li" and went to the provincial capital to ask the famous Master Jiang to be a matchmaker for several of his children. The result really surprised him.
Now, according to Master Jiang's introduction, the second and fifth sons of his family are in a relationship with the Jiang brothers. Their family background is so good that he can't believe it.
In the morning, the third child also called back and told him that Master Jiang had already found a blind date for her, and she would quit her job and come back tomorrow to prepare for the blind date.
Everything went extremely smoothly, which made Deng Dazhen really happy.
He is 78 years old this year, and he doesn’t know how many years he has left to live. With the number of his children, it is normally impossible to see all of them get married.
Originally, his wish was to see one-third of his children get married in his lifetime, but now that Master Jiang is a great matchmaker, Deng Da couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe he could live to see all his children get married.
?
Just when Deng Da was smoking and thinking wildly, his old man's mobile phone suddenly rang. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was Master Jiang who called him. He couldn't help but feel refreshed.
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Feng's voice came over, "Mr. Deng, have you had lunch?"
Deng Da replied with a smile on his face: "You have eaten, Master Jiang, have you eaten?"
"I have eaten!"
The two exchanged some polite words before Master Jiang got down to business: "Mr. Deng, the two Jiang brothers get along very well with the second and fifth brothers of your family, and they all look at each other. You should know this, right?"
Deng Da said happily: "I know, they all told me that this is all thanks to you, Master Jiang. If you hadn't introduced them to me, they would never have found a partner with such good conditions in their life."
Jiang Feng said with a smile: "Mr. Deng, you don't have to be polite. This is because your two daughters are good enough. Boss Jiang called me just now and mentioned the issue of the bride price to me. I called you just to discuss the matter with you."
Daughter’s bride price.”
Hearing this, Deng Da asked: "Master Jiang, how much do you think is a suitable gift for me to receive?"
Betrothal gifts must be collected. This is a wedding custom that has been passed down in China for thousands of years.
However, the specific amount of the betrothal gift is more particular. If it is less, it will not look good, and if it is too much, it will look like selling a girl. Most people don’t understand the sense of proportion in this. Only the matchmaker who helps with the matchmaking knows how much the betrothal gift is.
More in line with the current market conditions.
Jiang Feng said: "According to the market conditions here, betrothal gifts are generally between 30,000 and 100,000. Of course, there are some that are lower or higher than this, but they are just relatively small."
Deng Da thought for a while and said: "Master Jiang, I don't have any objection to the amount of the betrothal gift. As long as my two daughters can live happily, I will be satisfied. Just let the Jiang family watch and give the betrothal gift to them."
Jiang Feng secretly praised it and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's do this for now. I'll call Boss Jiang to discuss the gift. I'll decide on the number later and talk to you, Mr. Deng."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Master Jiang."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do, so I'll hang up now and see you later."
"See you."
…
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng called Boss Jiang non-stop.
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Feng said directly: "Boss Jiang, I just called the woman's family to discuss the issue of the bride price. The woman's family only hopes that their two daughters can live happily and has no requirements for the bride price.
You Jiang family can just give it to you."
Jiang San pondered for a moment and asked: "Master Jiang, how much do you think is a suitable gift?"
Jiang Feng said: "According to the current market price of betrothal gifts here, they are usually between thirty thousand and one hundred thousand. There are also some that are lower than this number or higher than this number. It also depends on the family conditions."
Jiang San thought about it carefully and said: "Master Jiang, then I will give you one hundred and eighty thousand and two three hundred and sixty thousand. Do you think this amount is okay?"
There are two reasons for this amount:
First, the Jiang family does not say how good their family background is, but they still have tens of millions in savings, which is better than many families. It is obviously inappropriate to give a small betrothal gift, and it must be higher than the ordinary standard.
Second, if his two sons marry two daughters of another family, this kind of marriage is bound to cause a sensation, and the bride price will definitely be discussed, so the bride price must not be less, otherwise people will definitely label them as stingy.
Hearing this, Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Of course, this gift is no worse than those in big cities. It will allow the sisters to marry in a glorious manner, and it will be worth the hard work their parents put into raising them."
"Master Jiang, even if you agree, then the matter is settled."
"Well, since Boss Jiang has already discussed the bride price, I will arrange a 'housekeeping' tomorrow and let them get married as soon as possible. What do you think?"
"Okay, Master Jiang, just do whatever you want. We have no objections."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
