Qin Ping didn't feel how thick-skinned he was, he seriously persuaded Wu Shaoying: "You really don't plan to marry a wife, and you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? If you really think so, how can I be embarrassed? Is it because I hindered your marriage with Rong Niang back then, so that you decided to live alone? If this is really the reason, I will go to see my mother, tell her the truth of the year, and ask her old man not to force you again! I can't let my unknowing mother force you to do what you don't want to do after I hurt you, right? Of course, I hope that you can forget the past, marry and have children, but if you really don't want to, I don't have the face to persuade you. ~With~Dream~Small~Say~щ~Suimеng~Lā"

Wu Shaoying's face turned a little pale, and her voice was low: "Brother Ping, don't say that, I'm ...... I didn't mean that. Don't tell your wife about those old things. So many years have passed, so why bother to make the teacher and his wife sad and sad? What happened back then turned out to be a mistake. My parents died, and I was deceived by my clansmen, but it was my uncle and aunt who adopted me and provided me with education. I am where I am today thanks to the grace of my aunt and uncle. In the past, I had nothing, and it was only natural that my aunt and uncle were reluctant to give me my cousin. They love their daughters with all their hearts, so what is there to blame? If my wife knew what happened back then, I am afraid that she would look down on her aunt even more. Even my cousin...... I'm afraid she'll have a misunderstanding too......"

Wu Shaoying actually knew that because Qin Ping had refused to marry a wife and have children for many years, the Niu family complained in his heart that Guan Rongniang committed suicide when she was young. She didn't know the reason why Guan Rongniang really committed suicide, and thought that the root was in Qin Pingzhi's "death", the bullying and persecution of the He family, and the affection of the Guan family, and she didn't know that Guan Rongniang was actually trying to protect his cousin. If the Niu family knows the truth, I am afraid that I will be even more annoyed with Guan Rongniang, the eldest daughter-in-law. The deceased has passed away, and Wu Shaoying is absolutely unwilling to let Guan Rongniang's posthumous reputation be affected in the slightest.

He could only tell Qin Ping the truth: "I don't plan to be a bachelor for the rest of my life, it's just that I've been busy with official business all these years, and I'm really not in the mood to think about anything else." What's more, I haven't met the woman I want to marry, if I follow the arrangement of others and marry a stranger, I always feel a little uncomfortable, so I drag it down year by year......"

Qin Ping's expression softened a lot: "I see. Since you just haven't met a suitable person and you are reluctant to get married, it will be much easier. What kind of woman do you want to marry? Just say it, and I'll let your mother, aunt, and cousin look for you for you, and then let you see each other when you have a suitable candidate. You are single outside, and there are no elders and female relatives in the family to do such a thing, no wonder you can't say goodbye for so many years. While you're still in the capital, it's time to act. It doesn't matter if you don't make a decision before you take office. At least two or three months is enough time for your mother to find out what kind of woman you want, and if you look for it under this condition, there will always be a day when you can find it. ”

Wu Shaoying bowed her head and was silent, and only after a while did she say, "How do I know what kind of woman I want to marry?" I never thought about it......

Qin Ping actually knew in his heart that he had only been moved by Guan Rongniang alone in his life, right? It's just that Qin Ping didn't want to tell the Niu family, and asked her to find someone for Wu Shaoying according to Guan Rongniang's temperament, so he could only say to him: "Don't blame me for urging you to be tight, you are different from me, I still have a daughter, son-in-law, and nephews, and there is no shortage of juniors in the family, and I will not have a son in the future, and I will not worry about incense." If you don't even have a junior who can sacrifice incense during the New Year's Festival, what will you do when you are old? What will you do after you die? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your parents and relatives. Don't they care about the sacrifices after death? I know that Hanzhen once told you that even if you have no children or grandchildren, she and Guanglu will provide for you in your old age. But they are outsiders after all, and they can support you in old age, but they can't worship your ancestors for you. That's what my mother is most worried about you, she doesn't know what you're thinking, she just keeps worrying about you. ”

Wu Shaoying lowered his head and said, "I'...... I will think about this matter carefully, and I will not let the teachers, my wife, and my buddies worry about it anymore. ”

Qin Ping sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Shaoying, I didn't persuade you to marry a wife just because I wasn't worried. I don't want you to be stuck with the old things anymore. "Now Wu Shaoying lives in Yongjiahou Mansion, it's okay, there are people around him every day, old and young, lively and lively. But once he goes to work abroad, there are only a few servants around him, and he is not the kind of person who likes to let his subordinates revolve around him, and he will definitely live a cold and lonely life again. Once he gets used to that kind of life, how can he regain the idea of starting a family?

Qin Ping said to Wu Shaoying heartily: "Whether it is Rong Niang or me, we all hope that you will be safe and happy for the rest of your life." ”

Wu Shaoying's eyes were slightly red when she heard this, and she was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

Qin Ping finally persuaded Wu Shaoying to breathe a sigh of relief, and let go of Dashi in his heart. When he went to greet his parents in the evening, he reported the good news to his mother, but at the same time, he also advised Niu: "Shaoying is used to living alone, and there is no family to help him, so he has suffered a lot since he was a child." If his mother wants to choose a wife for him, it is best to find someone he likes, not only must he see it himself, nodding his head, it must not be reluctant, it must be genuinely willing. When his mother talked to him about these things, she did not think that any girl was good, so she repeatedly persuaded him to accept it. What do you think is good? If Shaoying doesn't like it, his mother is a fairy for him, so what's the point? ”

Niu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I still don't understand this truth? I'm not his mother, I kiss him, but I can't bear to see him alone, and there is no one around him who knows how to hurt and heat, so it is impossible to force him to marry a girl he doesn't like." Don't worry, I will ask him what kind of girl he wants, as long as he is innocent and has a good character, as long as he is happy, I will come to the house for him!"

After patting his chest, Niu said to Qin Bai again: "Now I can feel at ease." Shaoying didn't know what was wrong, I told him about family affairs, he didn't give me a word for a few months, and now Brother Ping persuaded him, he nodded, it seems that this kind of thing, you still have to let their brothers of the same age persuade them, in order to persuade them. We are all old, Shaoying respects us, but is embarrassed to tell us the truth!"

Qin Hanzhen listened to it a little incredulously, and asked his father again and again: "Did my cousin really agree to marry a wife?

Qin Ping looked at his daughter with a smile: "If he hadn't agreed, what would he do to coax me to do it?" He didn't plan to fight a bachelor for the rest of his life, but he used to be busy with official business, and he had no time to spare, and there was no one at home to help him, and as a man, he didn't know a girl who had not left the cabinet, so he couldn't think about getting married. He has been used to being single for many years, and he always feels defensive about people he is not familiar with, and he is not very willing to let others match him and marry blindly. But if it is a girl who knows the roots and knows the family, and the temperament is also compatible, presumably he will not object. ”

Qin Hanzhen groaned: "If it is a family that we know the roots, although there are a few households, they are all of the right age, it seems to be ......"

"Just take advantage of the approaching New Year, and the family is all in the place, let's set up a banquet and invite guests, right?!" Niu smiled and came up with an idea, "Invite relatives and friends to have fun at home." Brother Ping and Brother An have familiar friends, and they can also be invited over. Invite all the ladies and relatives of each family to meet at home, and let's talk about it, and be familiar with it. I just asked someone to inquire about who has the right girl. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly said: "It's almost the New Year, is there really no problem with holding a banquet at this time?"

Niu clapped his hands: "Let's just say celebrate our family reunion!"

Qin Bai said with a smile on the side: "What kind of reason is this? If you only invite your own family, it will be fine, if you want to invite outsiders, it will not be considered a family banquet." After Brother Ping returned to Beijing, the new appointment had not yet come down, and it was too frivolous to hold a banquet for him at this time. If you really want to entertain relatives and friends, you should wait until Brother Ping's promotion is appointed. ”

"Then ......" Niu thought for a while, "Our Brother Zhuang has already completed the 100 days, and the full moon and the 100 days have encountered problems before, and he has not celebrated well, so why don't you make up for the child for 100 days?"

Qin Bai sighed: "The 100 days have passed, how can there be any reason to make up for it? Besides, in the 100 days, we have also invited the long room and the second room to come to the house for a family banquet, how can we use this as a reason to put on a big banquet? You might as well say, the few plum trees in our garden have bloomed, and they are blooming well, so use it as a cover to have a plum feast." In previous years, our family never held a banquet to entertain guests, and it was always co-organized with the long house. Our garden has never really invited outsiders to enjoy it. ”

Niu just needed a reason to treat him, so he agreed: "Then it's up to you! I don't know what kind of crepe things these things are, just those few plum plants, although they are beautiful, but it seems a little strange to treat them officially." ”

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile on the side: "Lamei is too monotonous, and our garden is a little smaller, so it may not be possible to hold a banquet, so let's invite a few close relatives and friends to get together." Let's bring some fresh flowers and plants from the hot spring village, and enjoy the plum blossoms as well as other flowers, if there are rare varieties. But even if you don't, you can ask your grandfather to present a recent painting, and invite the guests to enjoy his old man's painting, which is even more elegant. ”

Qin Bai glanced at his eldest granddaughter helplessly, knowing that she was making fun of herself. Qin Hanzhen covered his mouth with his sleeve and snickered.

Qin Ping said to Niu: "No matter what the reason is, I invited the daughters of relatives and friends to come over, and my mother should pay more attention to suitable candidates." Shaoying is not good to rush to see other girls, you always have to look at the candidate, think it is good, and have a tacit understanding with that family, so that you can mention the matter, otherwise it will be a little rude. ”

Niu Shi glanced at his eldest son: "I still don't understand this truth, do you want to remind me?" Then the tone of the conversation changed, "Shaoying's marriage, as long as he nods, everything will be easy." What about you? I will definitely invite Lord Huang's family to this banquet. You really don't think about marrying Sister Fang anymore? You are also a handful of old people, and you still refuse to renew the strings, seeing that Hanzhen is about to get married, is it possible that you really plan to be a widower for the rest of your life? You don't care about the incense behind you, but also think about Hanzhen, do you really want her to not even have a maiden brother who can support her in the future? You can persuade Shaoying to marry a wife, it can be seen that you also understand the reason. Why did you become willful when it came to yourself?"

Qin Ping was dumbfounded. In fact, he really had good intentions to meddle in Wu Shaoying's marriage. How could it be that the fire came to him?
