On this day, Li's sister-in-law Qin came over in an ox cart and said to Li with a smile: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother's family sent a letter from there, saying that he was in the town for a young man in Qing'er's photo, and after passing the Xiucai examination, he did not continue to take the imperial examination without intention, and now he helps his own shop to do business, and there are still a lot of fields at home, and the conditions you said are almost met." ”

It was a very happy thing, but Li Shi retreated a little and said: "That family has such good conditions, can you take a fancy to my Qing'er?" ”

"Where is our Qing'er bad, where is not worthy of her, listen to my eldest brother, that family has found someone to tell their fortunes, saying that the direction of looking for a daughter-in-law in the future is the position of your family, especially Qing'er's name with green characters, which further confirms the words of the fortune teller, so I listened to Qing'er's conditions, and I want to ask you to meet you."

"How old is that man, what does he look like, and are his parents there," Li asked pointedly.

Asking this, Qin Shi was a little embarrassed and said: "This man is good-looking, his parents are here, but he is a little older, I heard that he is twenty-one or twelve years old,"

"Ah, at such an old age, why haven't you married yet, I'm afraid there is a ......" What kind of unspeakable disease! This can't be done, the best girl in her own house can't be ruined because of this, her face is a little bad and she says: "I think it's better to forget it!" Let's meet it! ”

Qin Shi thought of the eldest brother's explanation when he left, and said with a sneer: "Sister-in-law, you see that my eldest brother helps you find someone's house, how can you see each other, otherwise my eldest brother will not be able to explain there," Seeing that the sister-in-law's face was still very bad, she said carefully: "Why don't we take Qing'er there, you and I will go to the eldest brother's shop, pretend to buy things and talk about family life, that young man will also show up in the past, if not, forget it, what do you think?" ”

"This ...... I have to discuss this with the owner, "Although I know how good the man's knowledge, conditions, and appearances are, but he is a little older, if he compares with his own daughter, he is still his own baby, and think about what the sister-in-law said, I can't make the sister-in-law sad, so I have to go through the motions."

When resting at night, Li said to the head of the sister-in-law today's intention, about this matter, the head of the house is still based on the mother-in-law's ideas, if the mother-in-law should go down, they will go to the town to go through the motions, if they do not agree, they will go directly.

Li thought for a while and said: "I can't make my sister-in-law embarrassed, I will look at the town for two days and one day, which means that tomorrow you go to my mother's house and tell my sister-in-law, saying that I will go to the town the day after tomorrow and let her wait for us at the big brother's shop in the town!" ”

"Know," Tang Tiezhu didn't say much, he was too tired, he was going to plant in the spring in a month, he ran to the field every day, since he made a lot of money growing mushrooms last winter, and caught up with someone in the village to sell paddy fields, such a rare opportunity, he immediately went to Lizheng's house, let him help in the middle, bought five acres of paddy fields, ten acres of dry land, spent more than thirty taels of silver, plus the wasteland reclaimed last year, the family is now also a family with forty or fifty acres of land, he was very happy.

Li Shi turned his head and saw that the head of the house was already asleep, sighed and whispered: "You can't exhaust your body if you work too much, you don't know moderation when you work." ”

Two days later, Li and Tang Tiezhu drove an ox cart to the town, and when they arrived at the shop of the eldest brother of the Qin family, they saw the sister-in-law sitting in the shop with her eldest brother talking, and when they saw the couple coming, they hurriedly went out to greet them.

Tang Tiezhu praised his eldest brother and said, "How is the business lately?" ”

Brother Qin said: "Winter is worse, this is not the spring planting season, the business is finally a little better, recently many people in the town have come to me to order farm tools, I heard that your family made a lot of money selling mushrooms during the New Year,"

"It's a little bit of money, but it's not as much as you say, haha." Tang Tiezhu said with a haha.

In the main hall of the store, Li and his sister-in-law sat together and talked, and after a while, they saw a carriage parked at the door, and the driver was Sanshun, Li was stunned for a moment, and went out to greet him: "Why did you come here?"

Sanshun said: "The young master came here today to do business, are you here?" ”

Of course, Li couldn't say that he came here for Qing'er's blind date, and said with a smile: "This shop is opened by my in-laws, come and make some farm tools." ”

At this time, Xue Qianxun in the carriage got out of the car, Li somehow, his forehead jumped, he felt that things were so coincidental, and when Xue Qianxun stood in front of Li and said to her gently: "Hello aunt,"

Li stumbled and said, "Okay, why are you here?" ”

Before Xue Qianxun could say anything, the eldest brother of the Qin family came out of it and introduced to the Li family with a smile: "This is the future husband I found for Qing'er, what do you think, sister." ”

What can Li Shi say, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, can she say it badly in front of Xue Qianxun? Even if he was reluctant in his heart, he blushed and said, "Well, that's good." "Things are a little confused!

The eldest brother of the Qin family didn't see the doorway, but when he saw Xue Qianxun greeting his in-laws, he asked, "You know each other?" ”

Tang Tiezhu, who came later, was stunned when he saw Xue Qianxun, and said embarrassedly: "I know, it's quite familiar." ”

"Hey, this is really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family," the eldest brother of the Qin family smiled and welcomed a few people outside the door into the house.

Xue Qianxun followed behind, his eyes kept paying attention to Li, to see what expression she had on her face, and when everyone sat on the chair, Li wanted to speak several times and stopped, wanting to say but afraid of being embarrassed, Xue Qianxun kindly asked, "Does my aunt have a question to ask me?" ”

"Well, to be honest, Xue Gongzi, I always feel that things are a little too accidental, and I don't know whether to ask or not." From Qianxun, who used to open his mouth, to Xue Gongzi today, it can be seen how clearly this incident has made the Li family draw the line clearly.

Xue Qianxun didn't intend to hide it, and said with a serious look in his eyes: "Auntie, I arranged this matter in advance today, I just want to marry Qing'er as my wife." ”

Li opened his mouth and was speechless in shock, Zhou Xuan's incident had just passed two days ago, how could there be Xue Qianxun again, and her daughter had not reached the point where a family had a woman and a hundred families were begging, why did everyone think about her daughter.

Li Shi slowly said: "If you have this mind and tell me directly, it's not very good, why bother to make this one,"

"Auntie, you know Qing'er's character, if I tell you directly, you can imagine that she will be able to reject me on the spot," I used to express my admiration in front of her, but she didn't leave no room to refuse, let alone say it to you in front of her.

"This ...... This...... But you made this today, and your uncle and I were shocked, I don't know what to say? Li turned his head to look at the owner, who still looked stunned.

"Originally, I was going to hide it from you, but after thinking about it, I still told you the truth," Xue Qianxun naturally said his intentions.

"When did you first become interested in Qing'er?" Tang Tiezhu kept his head down, and then raised his head and asked very seriously.

"A few years ago, Qing'er went to the mountain to catch the temple fair, at that time, I heard Master Qingyuan talk about her numerology, at that time, it was just a little interest in myself, who would have thought that I would encounter it again a few years later, her resourcefulness and a smile always lingered in my mind, and the more I contacted, the more I went to my heart," as Xue Qianxun spoke, his face softened.

What is the situation! The Li family was a little stunned, but they had to speak: "Xue Gongzi, you know that the daughter of our small family is not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of your big family. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I have been observing Qing'er secretly in the past two years, she can adapt to the life of my family, she is both smart and good and evil, both cheerful and considerate, both filial piety and love for her younger siblings, in short, I will marry her all her life." In Xue Qianxun's eyes, Tang Qing'er is the temperament he said.

For the rest of my life, I will marry her! Li was stunned by Xue Qianxun's words, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and sighed: "You also know Qing'er's temperament, and what she recognizes, we can't stop it as parents,"

Xue Qianxun touched the teacup lightly, but said without taking a sip: "That's why I called you and Uncle Tang out alone, there is a saying since ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' order, if Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang agree, Qing'er can't struggle for anything, she can't hurt the heart of the second elder in order to refuse me." ”

When Li's sister-in-law heard this, she slightly understood the channel in the middle, and said, "How do you know that my sister-in-law can agree to your marriage." ”

Xue Qianxun stood up and bowed to the Li couple and said: "After Qing'er marries me, I will respect her in front of others, love her in front of people, and after entering the house, I will never accept concubines, if I have no children after getting married, I will not accept her for the sake of inheritance, if my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with, I will take her to another mansion." ”

Keng will tell Li what he thinks in his heart, and Li's heart was shaken by his words so much that he couldn't make up his mind, and tilted his head to see what the master meant, but he also looked at her with blank eyes.

Li Shi said helplessly: "You can let me and your uncle think about this later, can you?" ”

How can it be! Seizing the opportunity and striving for the upper reaches is the essence of a businessman, seeing that Li's tone is not as tough as just now, he must chase her while the iron is hot, so Xue Qianxun is unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and said frustratedly: "Auntie, you don't agree!" In the past two years, my aunt can also see a little bit of my character? ”

The Li family now regrets accepting so many things from Xue Qianxun, how did he say this? Nothing to offer courtesy, either rape or theft, received other people's things, sooner or later you have to pay it back, but you can't take your daughter to arrive, sneered: "You have a good character, and your aunt has always seen it in her eyes." ”

"What else does that aunt have to hesitate about?"

Li couldn't think of a rebuttal, and suddenly thought: "Then why are you so old and haven't married yet!" ”

Xue Qianxun's face stiffened, the hands in his sleeves were clenched, and he said in a flat voice: "Master Qingyuan of Qingyuan, I knew my grandmother when I was a child, and told her that if I marry early, it is not good for my family, and I need to be twenty-three or four years old to marry, the woman's name is green, and the direction is also southeast, which is the direction of your house, I didn't care about it, but for so many years, there has never been a woman who can arouse my idea, until the appearance of Qing'er's sister, so I arranged such a play to recommend myself." ”

Unable to go out and a little embarrassed to stay, Li looked at his sister-in-law for help, hoping that she would make a round.

Tang Tiezhu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said finally: "Qing'er will be married to Xue Qianxun!" "This news exploded in the Li family's wind, how can this master make a statement.

Xue Qianxun didn't care about this, and bowed to Tang Tiezhu at the right time: "Thank you Uncle Tang for agreeing, my little nephew is grateful." Li didn't understand, didn't understand why the head of the family suddenly said this.
