Chapter 179 The first meeting between father-in-law and son-in-law!
This era is polygamous.
Only after listening to Sun Chu's words did Zhou Weimin remember this matter.
At this moment, Zhou Weimin felt a little happy and a little confused.
He can be happy to have three wives and six concubines, this is a man's dream, but what confuses him is whether Zhou Weimin really wants to have three wives and six concubines?
Monogamy has always been an idea in Zhou Weimin's education.
Of course, Zhou Weimin doesn’t know it now, but he is destined to marry several women.
This is not something Zhou Weimin is willing to do.
But Zhou Weimin had to do so.
Because the Zhou family now only has Zhou Weimin, Zhou Weimin needs to expand his family.
This is not only for the Zhou family, but also for the stability of the troops and the officers under his command.
Of course, this is all later.
Now Zhou Weimin's convoy has arrived at the Qiao family, and Zhou Weimin needs to propose marriage.
Zhou Weimin doesn't need to worry about the betrothal gifts, Xu Hu will arrange it.
So Zhou Weimin and Sun Chu went straight into the Qiao family.
Zhou Weimin and Sun Chu were greeted by Qiao Bei, the steward of the Qiao family.
Qiao Bei's body trembled slightly when he saw Zhou Weimin, but he suppressed his fear and said, "Commander Sun, Commander Zhou, please."
In fact, Qiao Bei was reluctant to come, but among the three stewards of the Qiao family, only Qiao Bei was here.
Besides, Zhou Weimin and Sun Chu are here to propose marriage today.
Qiao Anbang cannot welcome Zhou Weimin and Sun Chu, and Qiao Linwei cannot come out even more.
So only Qiao Bei could come to greet him.
Qiao Bei carefully invited Zhou Weimin and Sun Chu to the main courtyard, but the soldiers from the guard camp following Zhou Weimin did not enter the main courtyard.
Instead, they were guarding outside the main courtyard.
After Qiao Bei invited Zhou Weimin and Sun Chu to the main courtyard, he left. This was something Qiao Anbang had ordered long ago.
At this moment, there were only Qiao Anbang, Sun Chu, and Zhou Weimin in the main courtyard.
Qiao Anbang looked at Zhou Weimin, and Zhou Weimin also looked at Qiao Anbang.
Qiao Anbang’s image was similar to what Zhou Weimin had imagined, a standard image of a big businessman in the Republic of China.
But Zhou Weimin gave Qiao Anbang a surprise.
In Qiao Anbang's opinion, Zhou Weimin should be the image of a veteran soldier or a general.
But Zhou Weimin gave Qiao Anbang the impression of a college student.
This surprised Qiao Anbang a little.
"Brother Qiao, what are you thinking about? Let Wei Min sit down quickly!" Sun Chu said to Qiao Anbang.
Then he looked at Zhou Weimin and said, "Weimin, what are you thinking about? Hurry and call for help!"
Sun Chu looked at Qiao Anbang and Zhou Weimin speechlessly.
What is going on? The two of them just stared at each other when they met for the first time, and no one knew what they were thinking.
How could such a shrewd businessman like him end up in such a situation?
How could such a powerful general usually encounter such a situation?
"Hello, Uncle Qiao, I'm Zhou Weimin!" Zhou Weimin saluted Qiao Anbang and said.
Zhou Weimin was the first to react.
"Oh, okay, okay." Qiao Anbang said somewhat helplessly.
Qiao Anbang didn't hear what Sun Chu said just now. It was Zhou Weimin's voice that woke Qiao Anbang up.
"Brother Qiao, you are so happy. Let Wei Min sit down quickly." Sun Chu looked at Qiao Anbang's expression and couldn't help but speak loudly.
At this moment, Sun Chu was already a little dissatisfied. They had clearly agreed on it yesterday, so why did Qiao Anbang behave like this today?
"Yes, yes, look at me, I'm getting old and confused. Commander Sun, Division Commander Zhou, please sit down, please sit down."
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Qiao Anbang quickly spoke to Sun Chu and Zhou Weimin.
Then he shouted outside, "Qiao Bei, quickly ask the servants to serve tea, the best tea."
After hearing this, Zhou Weimin quickly said, "Uncle Qiao, you can just call me Weimin. Calling me Commander Zhou is too formal."
At this time, Zhou Weimin was very humble, after all, he was preparing to marry someone else's daughter!
After hearing what Zhou Weimin said, Sun Chu thought for a moment, then turned to Qiao Anbang and said, "That's right, Brother Qiao, why are you so distant today?"
"You usually call me Brother Sun, why are you calling me Commander Sun today? That's too formal."
After hearing what Zhou Weimin and Sun Chu said, Qiao Anbang had two different feelings in his heart.
Qiao Anbang was satisfied with Zhou Weimin, especially when he saw how polite he was.
But Qiao Anbang was very depressed about Sun Chu, because he usually called him Brother Sun.
Qiao Anbang had never called Sun Chu "Brother Sun", but always called him Commander Sun.
Of course, Qiao Anbang would not and dared not refute Sun Chu now.
"Haha, today is a big day. I'm so happy. Brother Sun, please don't blame me."
"Come on, Brother Sun, let's all sit down."
Qiao Anbang calmed down a little, then said to Sun Chu and Zhou Weimin.
"Uncle Qiao, please sit down too." Zhou Weimin said, making a gesture for him to sit down.
Afterwards, Qiao Anbang, Sun Chu, and Zhou Weimin sat down, and the servants brought them tea.
"Brother Qiao, I'm here today to propose marriage on behalf of Wei Min. The story of Wei Min and his niece Lin Wei has spread throughout Jin."
"Their love story moved everyone in Jin."
"At this time of war, Wei Min and niece Lin Wei have experienced all kinds of difficulties."
......
"So I'm here to ask Brother Qiao, are you willing to marry your niece Lin Wei to Wei Min?"
Sun Chu didn't say anything before sitting down and speaking directly to Qiao Anbang.
We talked for more than ten minutes.
This made Zhou Weimin look up to Sun Chu, who was so eloquent.
In fact, what Zhou Weimin didn’t know was that Sun Chu didn’t want to waste too much time in the Qiao family.
Because the Japanese 37th Division will arrive in Chidong County in the afternoon, Zhou Weimin should go to the military camp at this time.
Instead of wasting time at the Qiao family.
"Haha, with someone like Brother Sun helping Wei Min propose marriage, how could I not be willing?"
"Of course I am willing."
After hearing what Sun Chu said, Qiao Anbang said happily.
But at this moment, Qiao Anbang had already cursed in his heart, how could you, Sun Chu, help others propose marriage like this.
Besides, this is different from what I said yesterday!
"Wei Min, give your betrothal gift list to Brother Qiao." After hearing what Qiao Anbang said, Sun Chu looked at Zhou Weimin and said.
But at this time, Zhou Weimin was a little embarrassed because the betrothal gift list was with Xu Hu.
Now Xu Hu is still directing the soldiers to move the betrothal gifts!
The reason why the betrothal gift list was left with Xu Hu was because Zhou Weimin thought that proposing marriage would take some time.
But who knew that marriage proposals would come so quickly in the Republic of China.
In fact, Zhou Weimin misunderstood. This was not a reasonable proposal at all.
All this happened because Sun Chu used his power to oppress Qiao Anbang.
Of course, this was not Sun Chu's original intention.
It’s just because the Japanese are attacking now, and Sun Chu doesn’t want Zhou Weimin to waste too much time in the Qiao family.
Sun Chu just wanted to complete the marriage proposal as quickly as possible and then let Zhou Weimin command the army.
So that’s how this proposal came about.
