Chapter 111: Non-Cooperation
Jinxiu couldn't help but envy the tacit understanding between Guan Jie and Tian, Tian had never clinged to the idea of Gao Zhi greedy for wealth, and only asked for peace and stability for his daughters, and the same was true for Guan Jie! It can be seen that he respects Luo Zhen and the Chengguo Mansion very much, but seeing the Luo family brothers approaching, Guan Jie not only did not encourage their sisters to seek wealth and wealth, but reminded them again and again: stay away from them!
Both husband and wife understand how big the distance between the powerful and wealthy families and the Zhuang family is, and it is too unrealistic for the village girl to attach herself to the noble son!
This is the heart of parents who really think about their children.
Tian himself broke off the idea of recruiting a "door-to-door son-in-law", and went to Yu to ask her not to mention this matter again, Jinyu and Jinyun were also repeatedly told by her to keep their mouths, and the matter of guessing the lantern riddle to win the son-in-law in the state city was quickly forgotten, as if it had never happened!
Jinxiu still had to mention this matter again, so naturally she went to tell Luo Zhen and asked him what medicine was sold in the gourd!
She has already harvested long-term work, built a greenhouse and grown mushrooms, which means that she has given in, given what they want, and everyone will live their own lives in the future, regardless of each other! Still not satisfied? And make such an absurd and ridiculous mention yƬ, guess the lantern riddle to win a door-to-door son-in-law? Nepal Media! Why don't you say that you were hit by someone throwing a hydrangea!
Luo Zhen slept a dark sweet sleep, from the afternoon until the morning, woke up and saw the carved window sash through the bright light, illuminating the situation in the house, this is a guest room, usually no one lives, but it should also be fully furnished, during the day Guan Jie took out of the cupboard mattress quilt are brand new, the color is elegant and very clean, it is obviously a humid weather, but the cover is dry and soft and very comfortable, the nose is filled with a good smell, reassuring breath, Luo Zhen almost closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this moment, the fragrance is still there, in fact, this smell is not only on the cover, he smelled it as soon as he walked into this room, and he talked to Guan Jie at that time, and did not pay close attention to the source of the smell.
Luo Zhen turned over and got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, put on his robe, and stood quietly in the middle of the room for a while. He approached the large cabinet against the south wall, and when he opened the door, he couldn't help but be stunned: there were three layers of partitions inside, neatly arranged and stacked with pieces of square or round objects. Luo Zhen took out a few pieces, looked at them and sniffed them, and raised his eyebrows lightly: It is actually laundry soap and bath soap that have been sold in the capital recently! The soap cubes are different in size and smell different!
This thing is just emerging, and the price may not be very expensive for wealthy families, but it is rare for the Zhuang family to use it. Tian Zhai is said to have built a new house by picking up mushrooms in splendor, and there is spare money to buy so many laundry soaps and bath soaps to hoard and play?
Suddenly remembered what I had discovered, and the cousin who lived in the city of Jinxiu was working in the laundry soap workshop, could it be that her cousin gave it?
Luo Zhen frowned: Why do you send so much laundry soap if you have nothing to do?
Gently closing the cabinet door, Luo Zhen faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to put it down first.
He is not in a relaxed mood now, Chen Liangxin told him that there is a blacksmith named Guan Jie here, who was in the left guard camp of the border pass three years ago and participated in the defense of the six princes. This Guan Jie is now Feng Jinxiu's stepfather!
Luo Zhen was a little surprised: he once stayed in his left guard camp and served as the guard of the Six Princes, even if he never had the opportunity to see Nangong Zhao, he couldn't be reduced to running back to the countryside to fight iron and farm! He couldn't guess what happened to Guan Jie back then, but thinking that it was an old subordinate, Guan Jie might be able to give him some help in his courtship, but who knew that during the daytime conversation, Guan Jie refused to hide his identity for him, and made it clear that he did not agree with his proposal, Luo Zhen was very depressed!
Guan Jie and his people, or because of the big gap between the identities of the two. Luo Zhen didn't know much, he only knew that he was a man, with military merits and a small banner. After layers of screening competitions, he entered the left guard camp, and after some strict training, he was directly assigned to be the outer guard of the sixth prince Nangong Zhao, Guan Jie has always been good, but after that war, he disappeared! Luo Zhen and Nangong Zhao have questioned and asked people to search for them many times, but there has been no news. It was also found that he had no family, so he finally had to ask the official in charge of the pension to add Guan Jie a sum of money when he distributed the pension to various places, and the pension was usually sent to the county office, and the relatives could collect it after the county government posted a notice...... But Guan Jie is still alive, and it is impossible for his family to receive a pension.
After talking today, Luo Zhen knew that in fact, three years ago, Guan Jie could have participated in the evaluation of military merits, promotion and awards, but he gave up and preferred to return to his hometown to live an obscure life, but the reason was also speechless.
If Guan Jie is not there, Luo Zhen plans to conceal his identity and win back the "door-to-door son-in-law" of Jinxiu's riddle guessing, and rely on Feng Jinxiu! He has already seen hope from the Tian family, and the two little girls are also very coaxing, believing that it will be done in a few days, but Guan Jie, the stepfather, refused to cooperate!
Guan Jie said that the Tian family is what he wants to protect all his life, and the three daughters are the lifeblood of the Tian family, so he naturally has to protect them! Jinxiu is born smart, different from ordinary village girls, she has the delicate and proud of the daughter of a high-ranking family, but because she grew up in the countryside, she has never learned all kinds of rules and etiquette that only those ladies have, not to mention that the high-ranking family is strict, pay attention to status, Jinxiu, just a peasant girl from Chaimen, if she enters a wealthy family, it is the lowest level, and she needs to rely on people to live a life, she will never be able to endure it!
And Tian himself has suffered from high marriage, and he will never agree to let his daughter follow in her footsteps!
Guan Jie said clearly: I'd rather offend Luo Zhen than hide my wife and family!
Luo Zhen understands Guan Jie, he is not casually asking to marry for no reason, because he likes it, he naturally prefers her to be protected and cherished.
But he doesn't agree with Guan Jie's opinion, the so-called right family, the so-called inappropriate marriage to a wealthy family, this doesn't make sense to him!
If you don't have the certainty and ability to protect your wife, you are not worthy of a wife! Ta Luo is really not so cowardly!
However, what was clearly planned, now that Guan Jie refused to cooperate, Luo Zhen couldn't help but have a headache.
The shape has changed, he has to think carefully about how to change his tactics, he just wanted to sleep for a while, but he slept for so long because he was too sleepy, and the place where he lived was also to his heart, too relaxing.
Luo Zhen opened the door and walked out, and saw Guan Jie, Chen Liang, Lu Biao and Uncle Tian sitting around the stone table in the courtyard drinking tea, and when he saw Luo Zhen, Guan Jie got up and walked to the front of the hall and shouted "Lan'er", Tian's figure immediately appeared at the door of the hall, and said to Luo Zhen respectfully while walking down the steps:
"Luo Gongzi is up? The food is hot in the pot, the son washes his face first, and the woman will bring the food! ā
Although Luo Zhen had expected it, seeing such a change in Tian's attitude, his heart still sank.
Guan Jie had already used a scrubbed copper basin to bring hot water, handed over a brand new cloth towel, Tian was busy bringing the food to the table, setting up the dishes and chopsticks, and then stood aside and waited, the couple did not look like masters, but slaves who waited for people.
