"In the final analysis, your brother's marriage still has to be decided by the Hou Ye, and your brother himself must agree!" Zhao sighed, thinking of those officials and ladies who had been inquiring openly and secretly these days, he was angry: "Don't you know, those officials and ladies heard my expressions when they shirked and refused to agree, they just decided that I was a stepmother, and I wish that the first child was not good."

"Mother, where is that kind of person, you have cared for your second brother since you were a child, and the second brother has always respected you, where is it like they think!"

Zhao Shi nodded his head when he heard this: "That's it, although your second brother is not crawling out of my stomach, but he has a chance, but I am happier than anyone else, your father in our second room is a useless waste, in the future, the old lady will die and divide the house, what we can count on in the second room is not your brother, the more he is interested, the more he can support the family, and in the future, both you and your brother can have a backer." How could my mother not hope that he would be well. ”

They are not big houses, and the children they give birth to can still compete for a knighthood or something. And Zhao's personality is also that kind of upright and refreshing, for Pei Jinzhi, it is definitely not as good as her own two, but there is a lot of care, she thinks she is right with her conscience.

"The second brother is the first person to have the fourth son of our Darui Dynasty since the founding of the country, everyone says that he is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, but I don't know which noble girl can be worthy of him in the end?"

After all, the champion's sister will definitely not be bad!

"I guess I will still choose from the civil service. Zhao Shi showed a thoughtful expression: "Although our family is noble, but since your grandfather died, his status has not been as good as before, and now in this capital, our family is not a first-class noble." And your second brother is taking the imperial examination, our family can't help him too much here, if you can marry a civil official daughter of more than four grades, and have your father-in-law in the court, you can avoid many detours, which is very helpful to your second brother. ”

"Mother is really a female middle school, and things are so clear. Pei Yingniang said sweetly.

"Silly boy, what is this, you will ...... in the future Bang ......" Before Zhao finished speaking, the door was thrown open with a bang.

Zhao's mother and daughter were startled, and when they looked at it, the person who came in was none other than Zhao's husband, Pei Yingniang's father, and the second master of Dingyang Hou's Mansion. I saw that he was about forty or fifty years old, quite tall, thin, square-faced, not embarrassed, but his eyes were bruised and swollen, and he looked like he had been dried by wine, not only that, but he was still one high and one low when he walked, and his left leg was obviously sick. He didn't speak as soon as he came in, directly ignored Zhao's mother and daughter, and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find things when he entered the room.

Pei Yingniang has always been very scared of her father, and at this time she showed an uneasy look.

"You go back to the room first!" Zhao squeezed his daughter's little hand.

"Mother......

"It's okay, go back!"

Pei Yingniang pursed her mouth, looked at her father who was looking for something in horror, but she didn't insist, she went back to her house after listening to her mother's words, her steps were hurried, and her thin body revealed a sense of fear.

"What is the second master looking for when he is rummaging through the cabinets like this?" The look on Zhao's face was extremely calm, but a pair of eyes flashed with a thick disgust, and he said with disdain: "It's Yicuilou that has a new brand, and you are in a hurry to raise money for others to redeem yourself." Or did you owe a lot of money in the casino and come back to help?"

The most blind thing in her life is that she married someone like this: people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts.

"The master didn't come back to look for silver!" the second master raised his head, he had a pair of very narrow eyes, and every time he half-narrowed, he would be reminded of a poisonous snake.

"Master asks you, where did you put the eight-character note with that little beast's birthday written?"

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What are you looking for that thing for?"

The second old man waved his hand impatiently: "The master has set a family affair for that little beast, you hurry up and find out the post, delay the master's big event, and the master will let you go around without eating." ”

Zhao Shi was almost angry, and her voice was extremely high, full of incredulity: "You want to set a daughter-in-law for the second child?"

"Nonsense! The words of the parents are the matchmaker, I am his father, whoever I let him marry, he will have to marry!" The second master said this categorically, as if he was not the one who called his son a little beast just now.

"Which family's daughter is the master?" Zhao Shijue's heart was beating extremely fast - angry!

"It's the Zhu family on Beichengmen Street. ”

"The Zhu family?" Zhao thought about all the noble families surnamed Zhu in the capital, as well as the official eunuchs surnamed Zhu, and suddenly a vague memory came to his mind, Zhao suddenly got up and stared at his eyes and shouted: "Is it the Zhu family who does business? Are you crazy to let your son marry a merchant girl?"

"You know a fart, the Zhu family is not an ordinary businessman, they are imperial businessmen. The Zhu family has a sixteen-year-old daughter, who is also born with a water spirit, and she is worthy of that little beast!"

"He's just a royal character, and that's still a businessman! Zhao is almost angry jumped to his feet: "I am the new champion of the new department appointed by the saint, you are now asking him to marry a merchant woman, do you want to ruin him, or ruin the reputation of our Hou Mansion for decades!"

"Don't make any noise, those useless. I'm his father, and I'll decide his marriage. Go and find me the post now, quick!"

Zhao Shi saw that he looked anxious, and after a turn of thought, he basically understood what was going on. At that moment, he clutched his chest and sneered repeatedly: "The master is so anxious, he doesn't want to wait for a while." Could it be that the Zhu family gave you any benefits? How many taels of silver did you sell?"

"Who the are you talking about?" The second master's face changed on the spot, and he saw that his eyes showed a fierce light, and he was about to fan Zhao's face with his open hand.

"You dare to move the old lady and try it!" Zhao Shi not only did not hide, but took half a step forward, and the expression on his face was ten times more vicious than his.

She is the daughter of a military attaché's family, and she grew up in the market since she was a child.

The second old man saw that she stretched her neck and showed a side face, with an arrogant arrogance that you dare to move the old lady. The second old man wilted all of a sudden, the last time he did it with the other party, the Zhao clan beat him to the ground, rode him, put a kitchen knife on his neck, and beat him to death, beating him with a blue nose and swollen face, and he didn't dare to leave the house for a month.

It was also that fight, and he didn't have the courage to fight against Zhao's fists and feet.

"Vixen,, Lao Tzu will leave you sooner or later!" the second master spat on the ground and scolded.

"You might as well tell the second master, the eight-character sticker for his birthday is his own, if you want to, you can go to him by yourself!" Zhao Shi saw that he was tall and showed a sarcastic expression.

The second master's face changed a few times, and he finally flicked his sleeves and left in a hurry.

Looking at the mess in the room, Zhao's chest rose and fell extremely heavily.

"Someone—" She took a deep breath and shouted.

"Ma'am. A personal maid quickly appeared at the door.

"Hurry up and go to the Hou Ye and tell him that the second master is going to set a family affair for the young master, and now he is looking for the young master's birthday post everywhere. "After the birth of a child in the Da Rui Dynasty, parents will write the child's birthday in a more accurate manner and seal it with red paper. When the child grows up and talks about marriage, he will take out a more sticker, and the two will check and exchange, which is an indispensable step in the marriage.

Inside [Green Bamboo Xuan], Rong Xia is sitting under the bamboo corridor practicing female red, she is now able to embroider some slightly more complex patterns, and now on this pink handkerchief, Rong Xia plans to embroider a pair of small mandarin ducks.

Today's weather is good, and it is very cool under the bamboo corridor, and Rong Xia's "pig trotters" that were scalded a few days ago have basically healed, so Rong Xia's mood today is also very good!

However, soon, the break-in of a group completely ruined her good mood.

Rong Xia watched as a man led four or five Xiao Si, and walked over angrily.

The leader's expression was extremely hideous, Rong Xia was not a bold person, but now he couldn't help but be frightened when he saw such a group of people who were not good. And she didn't recognize the appearance of the second master, so she couldn't help but be even more panicked at the moment. However, these people obviously came for Luzhuxuan.

The second master has already inquired, and today neither Dingyang Hou nor Pei Jinzhi's little beast is in the house.

He just saw this loophole, and planned to come to a "cut first and then play", as long as he found a more sticky one, he immediately asked the matchmaker to go to Zhu's house to propose marriage, and when the time came, "raw rice and cooked rice", what if they didn't agree.

With the 80,000 taels of silver promised for the Zhu family, he can be regarded as a "broken boat".

Although she was very scared, this was the second young master's home, and when the second young master was away, she had the obligation to take care of this home for the second young master, so Rong Xia stood there, with her arms outstretched, and there was a strong guard on her low-grade face: "Who are you and what are you !!going to do?"

Rong Xia is like a fried kitten, although she tries her best to make a pair of teeth and claws, but unfortunately, whether it is height or appearance, she is just a little girl, except for making people feel that hey, this child is quite cute and so on, like any guard and majesty or something, there is nothing.

"Be bold, the second master's road will dare to block it!"

Second, the second master?

Isn't the second master the second young master's father?

Rong Xia was a little dumbfounded, she had heard her mother say that the second master had the worst temper in the entire Hou Mansion, and I heard that he had personally whipped the maid around him.

He's a very dangerous person.
