Chapter 21: The Marriage Proposal of the County Lieutenant

"I won't fight with you, three layers will be three layers, if you don't want to, I won't say it again." Wang Qing was puffing up, and her beautiful eyes were full of 'murderous'.

Wang Xiu pouted, I have never seen such a modest one, the successful advent of white sugar can be said to be a leap in industry technology, I can expect a broad prospect, and people's diet will also be changed, it is not a lot of money, but it was rejected by the eldest sister, I really dare not imagine.

He was stunned for a dozen breaths before he said helplessly: "Okay, in the future, we will make a living, and we will all be three and I seven, and we will not regret it." ”

Wang Qingmao's eyes suddenly turned into soft water, stared at Wang Xiu, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Wang Xiu's forehead, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu'er is not small, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be the state to solve the test, study hard to get a reputation and come back, and let my father raise his eyebrows, my sister will save the money for you, and marry a lady in the future." ”

"It's my own ability to be admitted, what's his business, whatever. Lady, eldest sister, come on. "Wang Xiu still has some prejudices about cheap dads, and his words are very hard.

Wang Qing's eyes were white at Wang Xiu, and Qian Qiansu gently tapped Wang Xiu's forehead, and said coquettishly: "Daddy hates iron but not steel, you!" Even if it's for yourself, you have to win the test, how old are you and you don't have a lady. ”

Wang Xiu took a breath, a toothache, put aside the cheap dad, if you want to talk about strategy and righteousness, it's okay to say, in case you run into poetry, it's a lot of fun.

When he touched Wang Qingjiao's hopeful gaze, he heard: "My mother said in private, Brother Xiu'er studied hard, it would be good if he could take the Jinshi exam, and he must not let his mother down!" My heart was beating and I didn't say a word.

"What's the matter, you have something to say." Wang Qingchang was a little anxious when she saw that Wang Xiu was silent, but she knew what Xie was thinking, and she also hoped that her younger brother would get ahead.

Wang Xiu saw that Wang Qingjiao had a tendency to go crazy, and secretly muttered to herself that since the eldest sister returned to her parents' house, she revealed the essence of a violent woman, but said: "When the family situation improves, I will study hard and I will not disappoint my mother." ”

"That's my good brother." Wang Qingchang smiled, hurriedly went to clean up those jars and jars, and muttered: "In the future, I will do these rough jobs, and you can read more books." ”

These days, the Wang family sisters and brothers are very busy, and Wang Qingjiao grabbed all the rough work to give Wang Xiu time to study as much as possible.

However, Wang Qingjiao didn't know what the humility between her and Wang Xiu represented, and how many people would break their glasses that day.

For a few days, there was no movement at all, and it was obvious that the county lieutenant did not take it as a matter who made the first move, that is, just ask. However, Widow Li was angry, complaining that her daughter was running around with Wang Xiu and causing a lot of trouble, which was really unlucky, if she hadn't met a good official, the matter would be really endless.

During this time, as soon as Wang Xiu was mentioned, she gritted her teeth, not because she disliked the Wang family, but because she was dissatisfied with Wang Xiu, she couldn't help but scold a few words, and finally even Youqin Mo Yan was numb.

Widow Li saw that her daughter had stopped, and just after being relieved, Mrs. Ma, who was a matchmaker, went to the door with a smile, and congratulated her as soon as she entered the door, making her confused.

"Ma Ganniang, what's going on, what's the joy for no reason?" Widow Lee seemed to have something in mind.

"Mrs. Li! What can the old woman do when she comes is nothing more than to tell people that the matchmaker accumulates yin virtue. "Ma Pozi covered that thin mouth and laughed at the waves!

Before Widow Li could speak, Ma Pozi continued to smile and said, "Mrs. Li, the county lieutenant asked me to be a matchmaker, you see that your little lady's luck has arrived." ”

"County Lieutenant." Widow Li frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "It turned out that the county lieutenant proposed marriage to her son and nephew, but my eldest sister has just arrived in Jilu, so I have to wait." The county lieutenant's nephew is also good, but she is worried that her daughter is too young, so she has not completely refused.

"Oh, I said Mrs. Li, the county lieutenant is single, so what nephews and nephews follow, the adults have a fancy to your little lady and want to marry your family."

"What?" Widow Li was stunned, her eyes widened, and she said, "You mean that the county lieutenant has taken a fancy to my eldest sister...... This, how can this be done, the county lieutenants are in their forties, and my eldest sister is only in time, absolutely not. ”

Ma Pozi's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "I said Mrs. Li, the lady of the county lieutenant passed away last year, and your little lady is the county lieutenant's wife, so what's the matter if you are older, you look at those jinshi, which is not the year of confusion." ”

"The county lieutenant is about the same age as me, and my eldest sister is not unmarried, Ma Ganniang, don't talk about this anymore." Although Widow Li is a bit of a woman's small belly, she never wants her daughter to be with an old widower.

Ma Pozi was quite patient, and continued to say warmly: "Mrs. Li, don't refuse so quickly, look at your little lady, what happened with that Wang Dalang was all thoughtful in front of the county magistrate, and it was okay in the end, otherwise the magistrate asked, even if you have tens of millions of reasons, you will be summoned for questioning, and the little lady's reputation will be ruined." ”

When the widow heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she hesitated, she was a woman's family, although she had some meager resources but little strength, where could she withstand the wind and rain.

Ma Pozi has been a matchmaker for many years, and what she eats is the food of her eyelids and mouth, knowing that Widow Li was shaken, she immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "I said Mrs. Li, what is wrong with the county lieutenant, the person is a serious Jinshi background, although he is older, but this is not a big deal, which man with ability is not very old, and he can be admitted to the Jinshi, which is not ten years of cold window hardship, what can he make trouble without hair on his mouth?" Look at Wu Saburo, who sells cooking cakes, is only seventeen years old, what kind of interest can he have, he will be so cheap all his life. ”

As he spoke, he observed his words and looks, and saw that Widow Li's expression was uncertain, and he knew that he was getting more and more dramatic, and immediately said: "I heard that the county lieutenant has honed his political achievements and will be promoted next year. Isn't it very beautiful for Mrs. Li to be the mother-in-law of Zhixian County! The old woman still needs to be taken care of by the mother. ”

As the saying goes, the mouth of the matchmaker, the dead can also be said to take two breaths, and the thin lips of the Ma Pozi are more powerful than the blade.

Carrots and sticks, Widow Li was a little scared, and was attracted by the flatbread painted by Ma Pozi, but after all, it was only a daughter, so she had to be cautious, and said hesitantly: "Ma Ganniang, my eldest sister is still young, it's really inappropriate." ”

"It's not small, next year will be the year of breaking melons, and other little ladies will marry early at his age, that is, your family." Seeing that there was a play, Mrs. Ma was in great spirits, and approached Widow Li and said mysteriously: "Don't hide it from the lady, when the old body was still a little lady." was only thirteen years old, alas, he was broken by Ge Erniu next door. The lady is also a person who has come over, and she is young when she is young, and she will endure it, and she will always come to the bitterness. ”

Widow Li was thick-skinned enough, and she blushed when she heard it, and said hesitantly: "It's not the same thing, my eldest sister has a bad temperament, don't bump into the county lieutenant, I think it's better to wait, and talk about it later." After a pause, he looked at Ma Pozi in surprise and said, "Ge Erniu, is it so?" ”

"It's the branch of the Ge family, the current head of the Ge family, the uncle......" Ma Pozi didn't mind the past at all, and talked about romantic affairs, not caring about the blushing Widow Li at all.

"I think it's better to push it a little bit."

Widow Li was loose, how could Mrs. Ma let go of the good time, and hurriedly said: "The county lieutenant said, you can't treat the little lady badly, once you apply for a good courtesy, Mrs. Li, there will be no store in this village, don't hesitate, not to mention that the county lieutenant is still a good person." ”

When Widow Li heard this, her heart was really up and down, it is said that the county lieutenant is indeed good, but her age is really unacceptable to her, I am afraid that she has wronged her daughter. Thinking of her daughter, her heart was a little shaken, but she changed again, and said cautiously: "No! The eldest sister is too young, so let's wait and see. ”

Ma Pozi saw that Widow Li insisted, the county lieutenant was indeed a bit big, and Youqin Mo Yan was only fifteen, if it was strong, it would not look good, and Widow Li did not refuse, so she immediately pushed the boat down the river and said with a smile: "The county lieutenant also said that the eldest sister doesn't care when she is young, you can set the marriage first, and then marry next year." ”

Speaking of this, Widow Li made a difficult mistake, she was already a little moved, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she had to say: "Ma Ganniang also knows that my eldest sister and I depend on each other, and I have to tell her about this matter." ”

"Mrs. Li is really, you are a mother, and you can't be the master of the eldest sister?" Ma Pozi pursed her lips, looking a little interesting.

"I would like the eldest sister to marry the county lieutenant, but the eldest sister has to approve herself." Widow Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, her daughter knew that she was naughty and filial, but she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she couldn't be forced, and something big would happen.

"Then follow the lady, and the old man will reply to the county lieutenant first." Ma Pozi saw that there was something to do, and she didn't want to be too pressed, so she simply went back to plan first.

As soon as Ma Pozi left, Widow Li entered Youqin Mo Yan's boudoir, and saw that her daughter was making a female celebrity, so she told her daughter about it intermittently.

Unexpectedly, Youqin Mo Yan's face changed, he threw the embroidery aside, and said categorically: "Mother, my daughter will never marry the county lieutenant, let him die of this heart." ”

Widow Li was shocked and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, that's the county lieutenant, our two orphans and widows." Besides, didn't people help us," he said, as if he remembered something, and gritted his teeth: "And that Wang Dalang, it's all his bad things." ”

"What's the matter with Brother Guan, it's those splashes." Youqin Mo Yan suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something, Dai frowned, and said resolutely: "Mother, unless my daughter dies, let the county lieutenant not even think about it." ”

"Eldest sister, what's wrong with you, my mother didn't promise them." Widow Li was afraid that her daughter would make her petty, and she panicked for a while.

Youqin Mo Yan fell silent, and tears flashed in his dark starry eyes. xh118
