Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 448 Ancient Business Manual 23 (End)

When Chu Yuan was sure that Shang Jinhe was truly willing and his family was supportive of this matter, why would he object?

After all, she made a profit by having the son of the Shang family marry into her family.

Moreover, Shang Jinhe is so pleasant-looking and has such a handsome and upright figure, otherwise how could Chu Yuan have had the patience to listen to all his nonsense and even act out a drama with him when they first met.

As for the issue of the child's surname in the future, Chu Yuan didn't care much about it. Anyway, with her younger brother Chu Zhi around, he would be the one to carry on the family line, and she, as the eldest sister, didn't need to worry about it.

So the two of them quickly confirmed their relationship and started the process of meeting each other's parents.

The first place she would go to would definitely be Chu Yuan's house. She vaguely remembered that two years ago, Chu's mother had advised her not to get too close to Shang Jinhe. She didn't know whether her parents would agree if she brought him back now.

In fact, she was just overthinking it. After all, times are different now.

After hearing their intention, Mother Chu no longer cared about etiquette and directly pulled Chu Yuan aside: "Yuanyuan, did you hear me correctly? Are you saying that the young master of the Shang Mansion wants to marry into our family?"

"Yes, mother, what do you think? He is much better than those guys you found for me."

It was much better, but it was also too much better, which made the old couple feel that it was not real.

At this time Shang Jinhe stood up and spoke: "Uncle and aunt, to be honest with you, I have admired Miss Chu for a long time. Now I heard that she is looking for a husband, so I came to meet you." As soon as he finished speaking, the servant following him presented gifts at the right time.

"It's just a small gift, not a token of respect, please accept it, uncle and aunt."

Chu's father and mother have been rural people for most of their lives. Even though they are now wealthy, they have never dealt with real rich kids. For a moment, they didn't know how to deal with it.

Chu Yuan stepped forward to ease their embarrassment: "Dad and Mom, please accept these gifts. I just brought him to meet you two this time. There is no need to rush to give an answer."

After these words were spoken, Chu's father and mother breathed a sigh of relief, but Shang Jinhe's heart skipped a beat. He was anxious!

However, no matter how anxious he was, he did not show it on his face, but talked to Chu's father and mother in a gentle and polite manner.

At first, the two elders were a little restrained, but under Shang Jinhe's sweet words, they gradually relaxed, and the relationship between the two sides unconsciously became closer.

After staying in the Chu residence for a meal, Shang Jinhe said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he winked at Chu Yuan, asking him to help find out what the two elders had to say, to find out when he could "marry" into the family legitimately.

Chu Yuan certainly understood his meaning and appeared in Chu's father and mother's room that night.

"Mom, what do you and dad think? If you are not satisfied with Shang Jinhe, I will find a better one." This was a joke. Looking around the entire Dugu Town, where could they find someone better than Shang Jinhe who is willing to marry into the family?

Of course, Chu's mother also knew what she meant, and she glared at her in a rare way: "Son is really grown up and no longer under the control of his mother. Now you only know how to speak for him."

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "That's not the case. It all depends on what mom and dad think." She was talking to her mother, but her eyes were looking in the direction of her father.

After all, Mr. Chu is the one who makes the decisions in this family. Even though it is usually Mrs. Chu who comes to talk to her about some things, it is actually Mr. Chu's father who is instructing her behind the scenes.

Being stared at by his daughter, Father Chu couldn't pretend to be alright anymore: "In my opinion, this is not appropriate."

Chu Yuan never thought that this would be the answer. She really couldn't think of any reason why her father would reject this marriage.

Just when she was about to say something, Chu's father spoke again: "Since you like the son of the Shang family, forget about marrying into the family. After all, he is a person of some status in Dugu Town. What will others think if the news gets out? I think it's better to get married normally."

Oh my goodness, can you please stop breathing so heavily when you speak next time?

It was originally agreed that he would marry into the wife's family, but in the end it became marrying. How could Shang Jinhe not be unwilling?

Of course, the Chu family's compromise was also conditional, and Chu's father had three requirements.

First, after they get married, they must buy a house and live away from home, and both sets of parents are not allowed to interfere in their lives.

Second, Shang Jinhe was not allowed to take concubines or mistresses, nor was he allowed to go to brothels. Even if the two decided to separate due to conflicts, they could only divorce amicably and could not divorce his wife.

Third, the child born from Chu Yuan’s belly in the future, the eldest son, will take the surname Chu and will inherit the family business of their Chu family.

Only if these three conditions are met can the marriage take place, otherwise there is no deal.

It can be said that as a father, Chu's father has already considered all aspects of his daughter's future. In this way, not only has he shut up the world's gossip about them, but in fact, it is no different from Shang Jinhe marrying into the wife's family.

Chu Yuan personally drafted the document. After Chu's father checked it, Shang Jinhe solemnly signed his name on it and pressed his fingerprints.

Merchants value integrity. With this document signed by him personally, even if Shang Jinhe betrays his promise in the future, the government and the people of Dugu Town will punish him, and the reputation of the Shang family will be ruined.

The wedding of the two was scheduled for an auspicious day two months later. Shang Jinhe proposed to Chu Yuan with half of the Shang family's property as a betrothal gift, and the Shang and Chu families formed a friendly relationship.

Two years after marriage, Chu Yuan gave birth to twin sons. The eldest son was named Chu Yanxi, and the second son took his father's surname and was named Shang Yanshu.

Both sons were precocious. They could recite ancient poems at the age of three, use an abacus at the age of four, and read account books at the age of five. All the people in Guzhen applauded and marveled at them.

When the two little kids turned 15, they officially took over the family business. By that time, both the Shang family's assets and the Chu family's shops had already expanded several times in Chu Yuan's hands.

The two brothers joined forces and almost monopolized most of the market in Dugu Town, which was truly their heyday.

Of course, girls who wanted to marry the two brothers lined up from inside Dugu Town to outside the city gate, and the number of matchmakers visiting the Chu family was even more than that of Chu Yuan in the past.

Unfortunately, the two brothers were determined to build their careers before starting a family, saying that they would consider these things after they had achieved some results. Helplessly, Chu Yuan could only take his father and the elders of both families away to avoid the limelight, and they were away for more than half a year.

After they wandered around outside and returned to Dugu Town, Yanxi and Yanshu's lifelong affairs were suddenly settled.

Brother Yanxi fell in love with a passing female escort leader. The two were in an ambiguous period where they wanted to talk but couldn't, and neither side broke the window paper.

Chu Yuan once secretly went to see this woman. She was generous and open-minded, and her martial arts were no less than those of ordinary men. It would be great if she could marry Yanxi.

As for the follow-up matters, let the young couple develop on their own. As a mother, she will not interfere.

His younger brother Yanshu was less of a worry and directly fell in love with a young lady from another merchant family in Dugu Town, named Xie Qingyan.

The Xie family made their fortune through real estate business and slave trading. All the pawnshops in this town are their businesses. You have to know that in ancient times, people who could do this kind of business must have close connections with the government.

It was a good choice for Yanshu to marry Miss Xie. Of course, the most important thing was that the two of them truly loved each other.

Chu Yuan had met Miss Xie at a banquet before. She was a well-read, gentle lady who spoke softly. Chu Yuan did not dare to speak too loudly when talking to her, for fear of scaring her.

But these are all minor problems. As long as they behave well, Chu Yuan will not stop their relationship.

......

Chu Yuan lived a good life, except for the first few years when she started her business, when the business was successful, she handed over everything to her subordinates and stayed at home as a hands-off boss.

Later, she married Shang Jinhe, who doted on her to no end, which often made Chu Yuan wonder if he was too good to her. Whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or daily life, he wished he could take her place.

Later, Chu Yuan stripped the man naked and pushed him down on the bed before interrogating him. It turned out that this man thought she was too outstanding and was afraid that she would get tired of him and run away with someone else one day.

This answer made Chu Yuan feel a little amused and helpless. She reflected on her own behavior and felt that she had not given this man enough sense of security, nor had she said she loved him seriously.

This made Shang Jinhe always believe that she had to marry him because her parents urged her to do so and there was no other suitable candidate.

So Chu Yuan seriously explained to Shang Jinhe that she was not a person who would settle for less, and that she chose to marry him because she had feelings for him.

Moreover, the two of them have been together for such a long time, and Shang Jinhe has been so good to her. Her heart is not made of stone, how could she not be touched at all.

In order to calm her husband's emotions, and at the same time to give him a sense of security and let him know that she would not change her heart, Chu Yuan gradually began to express her love in daily life.

The couple lived happily together all their lives. When she was dying, Shang Jinhe held her hand and said, "Madam, I am lucky to have met you in this life."

After sending Shang Jinhe away, Chu Yuan's soul also left this body and returned to the system space.
