Chapter 415: The Old Man's Opinion
Xiao Shu'er knows a lot more than Layue. In addition to knowing about www.biquge.info it from Layue, Xiao Shu'er told Xia Solstice about the young man's situation.
It turned out that the boy's name was Zhang Fang, and he would be seventeen years old this year. He is a native of Xin'an Town, about twenty miles away from Linshui Town. The old Zhang family in Xin'an Town is a large family, among which the Zhang Fang family is the richest. I don't know how many fields Zhang Fang's family has, but there must be a lot. There is a whole street of shops and houses in Xin'an Town, which are the property of Zhang Fang's family.
Zhang Fang's early mourning clothes were raised by her mother. Now Zhang Fang's family is also very simple, that is, Zhang Fang and his mother, and the rest, they are all serving people.
Zhang Fang is a rare only child in this era.
Of course, these situations were not inquired about by Xiao Shu'er, but the news that Second Uncle Xia and May heard from the mouth of the young Zhang Fang.
It seems that not only May herself, but also Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia also like this Zhangfang very much.
After Xiao Shu'er finished speaking, he looked at Xia Solstice with a look of praise. Xia Zhi raised his hand and touched the top of the little tree's hair.
"Yes, I've grown up, and I'm useful." Xia Zhi's words are a bit old-fashioned.
Xiao Shu'er smiled and bent his eyes, and he asked Xia Zhi: "Sister, I won't go to Fucheng with my mother." Sister, why don't you take me with you. Or I'll stay at home with my brother. ā
Xiao Shu'er is a clever ghost, he knows that he is afraid that he will not have a good life with Tian, although among several children, Tian treats Xiao Shu'er the best. But it can't stand the tip of the Tian family's heart, and there is still a large group of people from the Tian family.
Xia Zhi knew that Tian should have noticed that she and Daqiao were separated from her, and it was difficult to recover, so he wanted to stay with Xiaoshu'er.
It is not easy for a mother to be able to do what the children in the family are against.
"Okay." Xia Zhi happily agreed to Xiao Shu'er's request, "After the New Year, I will take you to Fucheng to see the lights." After that, whether Xiao Shu'er will go back to Daxingzhuang or stay in Fucheng, she will discuss it with Old Man Xia and the big guy at that time.
The little tree almost jumped up with joy.
Xia Zhi let Xiao Shu'er play by herself, she thought about it for a while, and then came to the backyard.
The little black fish was sleeping on the kang, and Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia were sitting on the kang talking to each other. The summer solstice came, and Mrs. Xia was busy and asked her to go to the kang.
"Why did you buy those old firecrackers again! Sixteen, don't listen to your uncle for everything. He's still a kid, and he's headless. ā
"Buy more firecrackers, let's celebrate the New Year." Summer solstice laughs. Because when she came in, she heard the voices of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, who seemed to be talking about the marriage between the eldest brother of the Chen family and Sun Xiu'er, so Xia Zhi asked, "When will their relationship be decided, and my father will be the matchmaker at that time." ā
"It will be decided after the New Year, and at the end of next year, or we will get married the year after tomorrow. You~ don't want to be a matchmaker, you want to find someone else. Mrs. Xia told Xia Zhi with a smile.
It's a good thing, and it's a happy thing.
"Isn't it good for my father to be a matchmaker, why don't you do it?" Summer Solstice asked.
Old Man Xia didn't speak.
"You~ Ye said that he will not be a matchmaker in his life, for fear of delaying people's good deeds." Old Mrs. Xia told Xia Zhi that the smile in her eyes was very obvious when she said this.
It's a very happy thing.
can't be a matchmaker, otherwise someone will be unlucky, this is the superstition of Old Man Xia.
In fact, to put it bluntly, although Old Man Xia can speak well, he is still too sincere, and the gap between him and the legendary "matchmaker's mouth" is too big.
But there's really nothing to do with a ready-made matchmaker like this. But Old Man Xia said that he would not say anything.
"Then who is my father going to find to be a matchmaker?" Xia Solstice asked.
Sun Si'er and the old man of the Chen family were convinced of Old Man Xia, and the relationship between Sun Xiu'er and the eldest brother of the Chen family was indeed thanks to the Xia family. If you really want to find another matchmaker, you must first convince Sun Si'er and the old man of the Chen family.
"I thought about it, or I'll find Tian Fugui." Old Man Xia was obviously thoughtful, "Sun Si'er and Tian Fugui are very good, and Tian Fugui has also taken care of the Chen family's mountain goods business. Tian Fugui is a person, the Sun family and the Chen family should be able to recognize it. ā
Tian Fugui is indeed a good candidate, and Tian Fugui will not refuse to give people such a good thing.
"Master, you're giving up all your good deeds to others." Xia Zhi said with a smile.
"What more can I gain. If the big guys are good, then I'll be happy. "Old man Xia is happy.
This is the truth, and it doesn't mean to sing high at all.
Because it was said that the Chen family and the Sun family were related, Xia Zhi casually mentioned May, and Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were not suspicious.
āā¦ā¦ Last time, I offended your aunt and suffered. Our family talk is released, but it's almost the New Year, and there is no matchmaker to come to the door. Old Lady Xia sighed softly.
Old Man Xia was also a little worried.
"Grandpa, grandma, don't you know?"
"What do you and I ~ know nothing?" Mrs. Xia asked.
Old Man Xia also looked at Xia Zhi seriously, obviously very concerned about what she was going to say.
The summer solstice is like this, picking up what can be said and talking about May and Zhangfang. She didn't say anything about Zhang Fang's family history, which had to be left to Second Uncle Xia.
"I, Layue, and Xiaoshu'er, we have all seen it. I think my second uncle and second aunt mean, that's quite happy. Why didn't my second uncle tell my father? Xia Zhi said deliberately.
"Your second uncle didn't mention it to me." Old Man Xia's tone was slow, obviously thinking about something.
"Oh." The summer solstice is no longer silent.
She has said everything that should be said, and then it depends on what Old Man Xia does. With her understanding of Old Man Xia, Old Man Xia will definitely not leave this matter alone.
Old Man Xia lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head. He apparently ate some kind of decision. It happened that little Xia Lin came running, and Old Man Xia asked him to find Second Uncle Xia.
"Say I have something to look for him."
Xiao Xia Lin happily agreed, and ran out with fat and short fat legs. He quickly ran back and said that he had already told Second Uncle Xia, and Second Uncle Xia would come in a while.
Then, Xiao Xia Lin stood under the edge of the kang, raising his head and looking at Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia with big eyes flickering.
The little black fish also woke up at this time. Mrs. Xia didn't let him go out, for fear that he would shake off. "Xiao Linzi, go to the kang to play with your uncle."
"Hey." Xiao Xia Lin couldn't wait for this sound, so he climbed up the kang.
Xia Zhi saw that he was cute, so he hugged him.
"Oops, Xiao Linzi has gained weight again." Xia Zhi said with a smile, the weight of the little fat man is really not light.
"IāI'm wearing a lot." Xiao Xia Lin was still defending himself.
The big guys laughed. Xia Zhi got off the kang, went to the counter and took a half-eaten fruit box and put it on the kang, so that Xiao Xia Lin and the little black fish could eat.
Second Uncle Xia came at this time. "Ah, what's so good to eat?" Second Uncle Xia didn't see anything else when he entered the house, he saw the fruit box first.
Mrs. Xia asked Xiao Xia Lin to hand the fruit box to Second Uncle Xia, and let Second Uncle Xia choose what he likes to eat.
Old Man Xia stopped him: "I have something to ask you." How old are the people, and they still eat snacks. ā
Second Uncle Xia didn't beg for food, and he was not discouraged, so he sat on the kang with a smile. "Dad, what are you going to ask me?"
Old Man Xia didn't beat around the bush, but asked Second Uncle Xia straight to the point: "Did you know someone in May?" Tell me, what are your plans? May is also a big deal, if it is appropriate, hurry up and officially operate. ā
Although it was straight to the point, Old Man Xia's words left enough face and leeway for Second Uncle Xia. He didn't say anything ugly, he just reminded Second Uncle Xia what to do.
Second Uncle Xia didn't answer first, but glanced at Old Lady Xia quickly. He was suspicious of what Old Lady Xia said in front of Old Man Xia. Then, Second Uncle Xia looked at Xia Zhi.
Xia Solstice was his second suspect.
The summer solstice is unconscious.
Because of Old Man Xia's attitude, Second Uncle Xia had no other choice but to tell Old Man Xia. He talked about Zhang Fang's family history, and then said: "...... When I came to our barbecue stall to eat, I didn't really pay attention to him at first. It was he who talked to me and called me uncle. This stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling man, he came twice, and it was interesting to us in May. ā
This is different from what Xiao Shu'er told the summer solstice. Zhang Fang was indeed attracted by May, and Second Uncle Xia and May were also very positive.
But Xia Zhi didn't plan to demolish Second Uncle Xia.
The reason why she chose to tell Old Man Xia was to steer things on the right track, so as not to cause any more scandals. Zhang Fang's conditions are more than enough for May, and May should want to marry into such a family. In this regard, Xia Zhi has no reason to object, she is happy to see it.
"Then when did he come to the door to propose?" Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia.
Second Uncle Xia was suddenly choked. How can such a family relationship be easily formed? Now although Zhang Fang is very infatuated with May, he has not said anything about asking for marriage.
And the reason why he wants to hide this matter is because of this. He wanted to wait for May to catch Zhang Fang more firmly, and then he could raise his eyebrows and make the big guy surprised and greedy.
Now that it's over, Second Uncle Xia is worried that someone will ruin the good things of May.
"Not yet, I haven't said it yet. This...... The two of them have only met twice......" Second Uncle Xia said as he quickly glanced at Old Lady Xia and Xia Zhi.
Old Man Xia heard the problem.
"Otherwise, let him come to a serious courtship, or let him not go to the market in May." Old man Xia is very simple.
People come and go, all of them are neighbors. May and Zhang Fang are like this, it is easy for people to gossip in other people's eyes. Of course, Old Man Xia is also not worried about Second Uncle Xia.
Listening to Second Uncle Xia talk about Zhang Fang's family background, Old Man Xia knew what Second Uncle Xia had in mind. Old Man Xia couldn't help but think about Zhang Cai and Zhang Qiaoer, as well as what happened to Second Uncle Xia's family when they went to Fucheng.
For the sake of wealth, Second Uncle Xia is only afraid that he will do everything.
"Dad......" Second Uncle Xia was in a hurry. May hasn't caught Zhang Fang yet, and now he won't let May see Zhang Fang, so how can Zhang Fang come to the door to ask for marriage.
With such a clear truth, he can't tell Old Man Xia clearly.
"Dad, May is your old granddaughter, and she has been more stable than others since she was a child. You don't know what kind of person she is? We can't do that shameful thing in May......"
Second Uncle Xia said this, but Old Man Xia was even more worried.
"You can be a decent son-in-law, I don't talk about you. But then, you have to follow the rules. It's useless for you to say anything. Old Man Xia said categorically. Because of seeing Second Uncle Xia's dejected appearance, Old Man Xia sighed in his heart. He mentioned Second Uncle Xia. "You send a letter to the Zhang family. If he had the heart, he would have to come and ask for a marriage. If he didn't mean that, we could still let May giggle with him! ā
Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia to send a letter to Zhang Fang.
"Second brother, you ......, you listened to me right in this matter. I can't give you an empty bridge. Old Man Xia's tone softened slightly, and he persuaded Second Uncle Xia seriously.
Second Uncle Xia vaguely agreed to leave.
"The second child is not reliable." Old Man Xia sighed, "We still have to inquire about this Zhang family." ā
"As far as the mother and son are concerned, the population is small, and there are few things. But it's not easy for the two of them to live. Mrs. Xia sighed. Even if it is a rich and noble family, calling slaves and maids, there are still many difficulties with only mother and son.
Zhang Fang is only fifteen years old now, so his mother is in charge of the family.
It's even harder, it's not easy.
Perhaps because of her youth and widowhood, Mrs. Xia was quite sympathetic to Zhang Fang's mother, although they had never met.
"Lao Zhang's family is a serious family." Old Man Xia said this, and then got up and left. This is to find someone to inquire about the specific situation of Zhang Fang's family.
The focus of Old Man Xia's inquiry is of course different from that of Second Uncle Xia. Old Man Xia is concerned about Zhang Fang's character.
In the east wing, Second Uncle Xia, Second Uncle Xia, and May's family are sitting together. May is angry and anxious.
"I just can't see me. I'm afraid there has to be a wax moon here. There is also Xiao Shu'er, Xiao Shu'er's mouth is fast, there are people who give him money and sugar, and they can't stop his mouth......"
May became resentful, and even thought that if Second Uncle Xia hadn't cried poor, Xia Zhi would not have let Xiao Shu'er take care of the money.
Xiao Shu'er knows best what happened at the barbecue stand.
Second Uncle Xia was not as anxious as May, and there may be reasons why he was already in a hurry just now. "What you~ Ye said is not unreasonable. You are also a big boss, Zhang Fang is also old, what are you waiting for, you can settle the family affairs early. ā
"That's easy for you!" May frowned, "What kind of family is someone, I don't make a little effort, people can come to the door and ask to marry me." Before the heat arrives, the pot will be revealed, which will definitely be smashed. It's all good for them to give to Hora. ā
In May, Aunt Xia was even more anxious. "If this thing really makes them yellow for Hora, I'm not done with them." It was as if he was going to fight with the people in the next moment.
"Mother, what is the use of these things. Can you do anything to my, or can you give sixteen anything! ā
"I, I'm sure I'm not done with them." Aunt Xia muttered.
"Don't even talk about these useless things. May, hurry up, think about what to say to Zhang Fang. ā
