Chapter 87: I'll Marry You (1)
"You know what you're talking about." After a long time, Old Man Shen got up from the recliner and walked to the window with a cane, "Now it's not as simple as you marrying this girl. ”
"Shixuan understands." Shen Shixuan knew very well what it meant to propose at this time, the Cao family was so urgent to ask Chu Yiyao to marry Cao Jinrong, and the Shen family did this, that is, it was a sideways step and directly connected with the Cao family.
"Do you really like that girl, or can't bear her marrying Cao Jinrong like this." Old Man Shen turned his head and looked at the persistence in his grandson's eyes, as if he had expected this result.
"Shixuan has been in love with her for a long time, but he thinks it's too early." How could he be so confused that he couldn't tell the difference, but he always felt that it was not the right time, if it wasn't for the Cao family to come out like this, he would have waited another year.
"Do you know that doing this is to directly make your position stand behind the Chu family, you see who in Jinling is not looking up and watching now." The Cao family's actions in Jinling, whether it is the Shen family or the Shui family, and the Bai family, who have always been low-key, have no action, each family watches their own plays, and no one wants to get involved in this matter.
"Didn't grandfather say that Mrs. Cao had the courage back then, but now her actions have damaged her demeanor back then, it is true that the grandson likes the eldest lady of the Chu family, and it is true that the grandson is not used to the Cao family, if this matter continues, isn't it that the Cao family is slapping the other three families in the face, this Jinling is not their family's final say." Old Man Shen looked at his righteous words, and suddenly laughed.
Old Man Shen patted Shen Shixuan's shoulder hard, knowing that he said this to persuade himself to come forward, but he just listened to it happily. He is not the only one who can't get used to the Cao family doing this, Old Man Shen is the only one, in his opinion, Old Madam Cao's method is really too vulgar, competing with a little girl, living this age in vain.
"What do you want me to do." Old Man Shen asked Shen Shixuan with a smile, walking around the study on crutches.
"I want my grandfather and mother to open their mouths and ask the matchmaker to go to the Chu family to propose marriage." Shen Shixuan couldn't open this mouth with his mother in person, only his grandfather agreed like this, and no one in the entire Shen family dared to oppose it, he wanted the Shen family to go to the Chu family to propose marriage generously, he liked it, why bother Cao Jinrong to take care of it.
"I will listen to my grandfather's words and stay in the Shen family to carry forward the Shen family with my eldest brother." In the end, Shen Shixuan said the conditions for letting Old Man Shen help with this matter, he can give up everything he wants to develop outside and stay in the Shen family, his grandfather will fight for him, sooner or later he will have to face it, and when his grandfather dies one day, can this family still live in such a harmonious two-room room.
"Go back, I'll talk to your father about it." Old Man Shen looked at him, for a while, waved his hand to let him out, and only Old Man Shen was left alone in the study, he looked at the paintings on the wall, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, this business is not a loss...
Four or five days later, the Qin family's merchant ship set sail, Chu Yiyao's body was much better, she couldn't remember the days of fever in a chaotic way, as if she felt that many people had come to see her, but none of her faces were impressed, only those words she remembered when she came to her senses.
"Someone has come to see me." Chu Yiyao drank a glass of warm water and asked Baosheng.
"Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wang have come to see you, and the third young master of the Wang family has also come, but they didn't come in after a glance outside the door, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen sent something over, so that you can take good care of yourself." Bao Sheng sent the people who came to visit these days one by one, Chu Yiyao shook his head, "No, someone else has come in, who else has come to see me?" ”
Bao Sheng hesitated for a moment, looked up at Mother Qian who was opening the window in the house, Mother Qian came over and tucked the corner of the quilt for her and sat down and said, "The night Miss was sick, the second young master of the Shen family came to see you. ”
Chu Yiyao's hand trembled, and she looked up at Mother Qian, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "How could he come over." ”
"I sent someone to ask for him." Qiao Cong'an's voice sounded at the door, Qing'er followed her, holding a plate in her hand, with freshly cooked porridge on the plate, Qing'er took a bowl and handed it to Qiao Cong'an, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, Qiao Cong'an picked up the spoon and blew it, signaling Chu Yiyao to eat it.
"How could my sister-in-law send someone to find him?" Chu Yiyao ate a small half bowl and shook her head and said that she was full, Qiao Cong'an wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and explained, "I also know that someone was sent to summon the news, but I can't come to see you, it's all up to Young Master Shen himself." She just sent someone to summon the Shen family to inform Shen Shixuan that the eldest lady of the Chu family was sick, if the young master of the Shen family didn't have the slightest thought, it would be impossible for him to come to see Yiyao in person when everyone was hiding from the Chu family.
"I sent a summons, and he came in the evening, only two hours apart." Qiao Cong'an looked up at her, the deep meaning in his eyes was self-evident, whether he paid attention to it or not, and he could immediately tell whether he cared about it or not.
"Sister-in-law, why did you think of looking for him." Chu Yiyao lowered her head a little flusteredly and looked at her hands.
"You only mentioned two men in front of me, one is the third young master of the Cao family, and the other is the second young master of the Shen family." Qiao Cong'an reached out and touched her hair and said softly, "That day he carried you back, you fell asleep, and you kept holding his clothes and refused to let go, no matter how we persuaded you, he didn't say anything, just let you grab your clothes and watch you fall asleep." Qiao Cong'an patted the edge of the bed, Shen Shixuan sat on the edge of the bed like this that day, and then Qian's mother came over with scissors to cut the clothes before he went back.
Chu Yiyao's cheeks flushed, she only felt very relieved at that time, and she really didn't remember what happened after she fell asleep.
"That day, your second brother came in and hugged you, and you also grabbed his clothes like this and didn't let go, I knew that in your heart, the second young master of the Shen family can also make you feel at ease, maybe you don't feel it yourself, when you mention him in front of me, you always smile more." Qiao Cong'an touched her frowning brow and smiled, "Silly girl, you said you don't care about him at all?" ”
"I didn't think about that." Chu Yiyao paused, even if she thought about it, she didn't think about it in that direction, she didn't plan to get married at all.
"You didn't think about it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just like he came over to see you in such a hurry, he was originally outside the house, and then your second brother promised to let him in, and he stayed in front of your bed for an hour before leaving." Qiao Cong'an is also a person from the past, how can she not see the subtle changes between these two people, in her opinion, the sister-in-law should not suffer from this, let alone suffer from these, she deserves to be good to her alone. Since you want to get married, why not find someone who is happy with each other.
"Did he go into the house? So what did he say. Chu Yiyao raised her head violently to look at her, with some eagerness in her tone, the strange and familiar voice in the coma, kept telling herself that she would not be like in her previous life, and would not marry someone from the Yan family again, could it be him?
This idea was denied by Chu Yiyao, where did so many coincidences come from in the world, she was reborn, could it be that Shen Shixuan was also reborn, if so many people have the opportunity to live again, wouldn't this world be chaotic.
"The maid is far away, I didn't hear what he said to you, what did you hear?" Qiao Cong'an looked at her in disbelief and said with concern.
"No, maybe it's a dream." Chu Yiyao shook his head, taken aback by his sudden thought, the second young master of the Shen family in the previous life had already married at this time, and he was married to the eldest lady of the Shui family, but now he has not yet married, is this really possible. Or maybe her life has changed, so it has affected others, just like it was her cousin who married Zhang Ziling instead of Chu Miaofei.
"If the second young master of the Shen family wants to marry you, will you marry or not?" Qiao Cong'an suddenly talked about her marriage, Chu Yiyao shook her head a little dazedly, Qiao Cong'an's eyes flashed a flash, patted her hand to comfort her to rest, and left Yifeng Courtyard...
Half a month later, Qiao Cong'an's assumption came true.
Shen's second wife, Guan, came to the Chu family in person and brought a matchmaker to say goodbye to the Chu family on behalf of her son.
The news spread, and it immediately exploded, for more than a month, the people of Jinling watched the Cao family say nothing to the Chu family's series of methods, and in a blink of an eye, the Shen family, who was the first to stand up, slapped the Cao family in the face directly in this way.
You say kiss and I say kiss, my Shen family is more sincere than your Cao family, the first time was that the second lady Shen came in person, or gave the meaning of the old man of the Shen family, said that a few boxes were carried into the gate of the Chu family, and almost did not blow and blow to tell everyone that this old man Shen wanted to marry the eldest lady of the Chu family into the door as a granddaughter-in-law.
And the biggest difference is that the Chu family did not invite the Shen family out, and when the second wife of the Shen family left the Chu family, the gifts of the relatives were all left in the Chu family, and the meaning was obvious, the Chu family meant the Shen family.
Originally, the Shen family's step was enough to slap the Cao family in the face, but the Chu family's decision directly gave the Cao family another blow, and when the old lady Cao who was in the Cao family heard the news, the whole person was furious.
This is no longer a matter of whether the Chu family agrees to damage the face of the Cao family, and the intervention of the Shen family directly escalates this issue to the contention between the Cao and Shen families. But this is not a competition at all, the performance of the Chu family is obvious enough, and the Cao family is the third party who intervenes in the family.
Old Madam Cao is not so confused that she will directly attack the Shen family, she knows very well that the Shen family is not as casual as the Chu family, if it is really a game, it will be the consequence of losing both, just for the sake of a little girl of the Chu family, the Cao family has no need for this at all.
Mrs. Cao was angry, and she still found Master Cao to discuss this matter, Master Cao's opinion is very simple, in this world, it is not only allowed that the Cao family can say kiss, and the Shen family cannot say kiss. So at this juncture, the Shen family did this, even if it was deliberate, what could the Cao family say, they had already done something inauthentic in this matter, it was difficult for a group of people of a large age to fight for a little girl, and they would laugh to death if they said it.
"Mother, this matter was originally unreasonable by Jin Rong, is it possible that you still have to be unhappy with the Shen family because of this, it was the old man Shen himself who asked the second lady of the Shen family to go to the Chu family to say goodbye, even if you are angry that the Chu family is not interesting, the punishment for them is enough." bullying the old and weak family, Master Cao was deeply ashamed.
"What's so good about the Chu family, so that the old man can come forward in person." Where would Mrs. Cao not know this, but she just couldn't swallow this breath, how bad her grandson was, and she refused to be forced to marry, compared to the attitude towards the Shen family, this gap came out at once.
"This Chu family is nothing good, so we don't need to compare this truth at all, it is also the Shen family's business for the old man Shen to come forward, mother, Jin Rong is not unable to find someone to marry, why do you have to make do with this pair of unwilling hearts, can you live a smooth life if you really marry into the door, the girl of the Chu family is stubborn at first glance, and when the two of them make trouble, the family will have no peace." Master Cao took the opportunity to persuade Mrs. Cao to let go.
"She dares! With me, she dares to make such a fuss! Old Madam Cao slapped the table and reprimanded.
"You naturally don't dare to be in her, but in the future, you still have to choose a knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous person for Jin Rong." Old Master Cao followed her words, Old Madam Cao's expression softened a little, showing a touch of tiredness, and waved her hand to ask him to leave, "Okay, I don't care about this matter, what do you like." ”
