Chapter 227: The Only Request
"Didn't she give it to the fifth young master of the Ping family?"
"Oh yo, look at it, where is this old man's face put there?!"
"How can a good girl destroy her worth?"
"It's just, a very good girl, look at what she has become. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
“……”
The people who watched the excitement were hotly discussed, and everyone gathered together in groups of three or five, pointing at her with disdain and chatting.
It can be said that Zhong Liyue's behavior seriously damaged her reputation, but she didn't care at all.
Mingyue, Jiaoyue, and Jinyue stood on the left and right of Zhong Liyue respectively, and Zhong Laosi and Ma Shi in the room were looking forward to it, and their hearts were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Xiao Wu squatted on the ground, looked at the black head downstairs through the wooden railing, and counted it with a carefree face.
Zhong Liyue looked up at the sky, and then said to Mingyue: "It's almost time, go in and call out Daddy!" ”
"Oh." Mingyue answered with a low voice, and then went in.
Zhong Laosi felt awkward and didn't want to go out.
"His father, if you don't come forward at this time, let your daughter alone, how can you bear it?" Ma begged with a bitter face: "It's all here, what's the shame?" ”
"That's right, Dad, it's already like this, maybe the eldest sister can find a good husband?!" Mingyue persuaded each other bitterly: "Since you have already come, why don't you come forward?" ”
"It's useful for me to come forward? If I am useful, I don't have to go so far, what's wrong with choosing the fifth young master directly? When she makes such a fuss, how dare the Hei family want her? In case you find someone who is 108,000 miles away from the fifth young master, where can you cry? Zhong Laosi was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Marriage has always been decided by parents. Zhong Liyue's parents are still there, if Zhong Laosi does not come forward and she recruits a son-in-law in person, it will only make Zhong Liyue bear the infamy of 'unfilial piety'.
Isn't her reputation stinky enough now?
"Dad, for the sake of the eldest sister's usual filial piety to your two elders, I feel sorry for her, think more about her!" Mingyue continued to plead.
"Look, who are they?" Zhong Laosi pointed outside, angry. Just now he got up and glanced over, and the people he saw were either poor or old, and none of them could compare to Fifth Young Master Ping. "If I really ask those people to marry back, won't I hurt her for the rest of my life?"
Zhong Laosi was so angry that his eyes were red. He feels distressed, his daughter is so good, she should be matched with a good young talent.
"Hey, isn't that the Fifth Young Master Ping?" Jiaoyue shouted in surprise. She pointed to a place not far downstairs, looked at Zhong Liyue, and then shouted into the house.
Zhong Laosi immediately turned his sadness into joy, got up and went over to take a look, sure enough, it was Ping Yuyao! didn't expect his eldest daughter to be so messy, he still insisted on marrying. Zhong Laosi was moved, and he said to Zhong Liyue: "Fifth Young Master Ping is so generous and tolerant, daughter, if you listen to your father, you will marry!" Dad believes that he will treat you well in the future. ”
"Daddy!" Zhong Liyue turned her head to look at Zhong Laosi, and when she saw his reddish eyes and the expectation in his eyes, she instantly felt a little unbearable, so she said: "Can't Dad see that it's difficult for my daughter to ride a tiger now?" Don't worry, Dad! As long as he grabs the hydrangea, I will marry. ”
"So many people ......" Zhong Laosi pointed downstairs, his whole face furrowed.
"If you have fate, you will naturally grab it, isn't fate destined by God?" Zhong Liyue said indifferently: "The time has come, let's start!" ”
Zhong Laosi sighed angrily, stood on the outside, and announced loudly to everyone downstairs: "Everyone, today is the day for our Zhong family's eldest daughter to recruit a son-in-law. The eldest daughter has a gentle temperament and is very intelligent, and now that she is at the age of marriage, our Zhong family has its own family wealth, and we don't mind what the man's background is, there is only one condition! ”
"Are you going to recruit a son-in-law?" A man with a moustache in the crowd asked aloud.
The quiet crowd instantly became lively, and everyone talked about jokes.
After this coaxing, Zhong Laosi suddenly forgot all the words he had memorized, and had to look at Zhong Liyue with a helpless face.
"No concubines!" Mingyue frowned and reminded anxiously in a whisper on the side.
"Oooh." Zhong Laosi immediately thought about it again, and then said it according to the lines in his stomach.
Zhong Liyue's requirements for recruiting sons-in-law are high and low. In addition to the basic conditions of appropriate age, pure nature, and literacy, she requires the man not to take a concubine for life! I don't mind anything else.
The request caused an uproar. How can a man not take a concubine? Unless you are too poor to marry.
Ping Yuyao stood in the crowd, his eyes looking straight at Zhong Liyue upstairs. At this time, everyone's focus had been removed from him, and they were very angry about Zhong Liyue's request.
"Eldest sister, their faces seem to have changed." Jiaoyue secretly tugged Zhong Liyue's sleeve and whispered to her.
Zhong Liyue smiled and said indifferently: "Yes, I seem to have caused the people's indignation." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached for the tray that Jinyue was holding. There was a hydrangea on it, and before everyone could react, she threw the hydrangea out with lightning speed.
There wasn't even a buffer time, it all came so suddenly.
There was no formal ceremony, she shot freely, and the arc drawn by the hydrangea thrown into the air seemed so casual.
Then, Zhong Liyue turned around and went into the house.
"Eldest sister, what are you doing in there?" Jiaoyue looked at Zhong Liyue puzzled.
"What else can I do? Waiting for the good news! Zhong Liyue replied indifferently.
The whole family was dying, Mingyue, Jiaoyue, and Jinyue's eyes were staring at the hydrangea, and their hearts were about to jump to their throats. And Zhong Liyue, the person concerned, sat down leisurely and poured herself a cup of tea like no one else, and drank it slowly.
The moment the hydrangea was dropped, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they began to actively join the battle. Everyone had a playful smile on their faces, coaxing the fiery hydrangea like a game.
Ping Yuyao naturally wouldn't be like them. He brought eight men to help him grab the hydrangea, and he just had to stand there gracefully and wait.
"Oops, noos, no!"
"No, no, no!"
Mingyue and Jiaoyue are the most forgetful to watch, their hearts and the jump of the hydrangea go up and down, as if they have done a roller coaster. They all secretly prayed in their hearts that the future eldest brother-in-law must be handsome!
"Dad, I want to grab the ball too." Xiao Wu, who didn't understand what they were doing, happily tugged at Zhong Laosi's trouser leg and said.
"If you are so little, you will be stepped on when you go down, and you are not allowed to go!" Zhong Laosi scolded and carried Xiao Wu into the house.
Zhong Liyue stretched out her arm and took Xiao Wu over and hugged her into her arms. Just kidding, the stampede was no joke, and she couldn't let Xiao Wu sneak away. "Okay, can the eldest sister tell you a story?"
Xiao Wu didn't make a fuss, and quietly lay in Zhong Liyue's arms and listened to the story.
When the hydrangea accidentally fell into the hands of a sloppy man, Zhong Laosi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Oops! ”
"It's over, it's over." Jin Yue couldn't help but shout.
Although it was difficult for Ma to go out, when he heard their shouts in the house, he couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for his eldest daughter.
