Chapter 394: Li Xiu's marriage
"You kid, get up quickly, let's talk about something. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Qingshan looked at the kneeling kid below, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.
How can anyone directly propose his own marriage, but this is still a tempered look, and it is really difficult to say: "You child, this kind of thing should be said by the elders of the family, and it is not appropriate for you to say it yourself, the key is that our family has never considered it, and Xiu'er's ideas should also be considered." ”
The young man in front of him was a junior, Li Qingshan couldn't say anything else, he could only explain to him slowly, and soon, Zhao Haiyi also understood and knew that what he was doing was wrong.
But he was just afraid, afraid that the Li family would agree to someone else's proposal, in that case, he would have no chance at all, and when he reacted at this time, he also felt that he was a little reckless.
"Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, uncle and aunt, I'll write to my father and mother right away to propose marriage, don't marry Xiu'er to someone else." Zhao Haiyi looked at the Li family pleadingly.
No matter how fast he sends the letter, it will take more than half a month for his family to arrive in the capital, will there be any changes during this period? Young men in love also suffer from gains and losses.
How did this answer the Li family? Li Qingshan and Niu's glanced at each other, looking at the reactions of the sons and daughters-in-law below, in fact, in general, Zhao Haiyi is still a very good child, at least much better than the person who came to the door to say goodbye recently.
"Haiyi, it's not that we don't agree, you have also seen what our family is like, boys can't find concubines, and the husbands of girls in our family can't have other thoughts about marrying, you are still young, can you understand?"
"Grandpa, I understand, don't worry, my father is only my mother, if I marry Xiu'er, I will be the only one in my life, or I will be hit by five thunders from the sky." The boy hurriedly showed his determination.
These are not problems, such a good girl, he will definitely be good to him alone.
"You are willing to do it yourself, and your family is also willing to do it, and the most important thing is that we have to agree with Xiu'er, otherwise everything will be useless."
Li Qingshan looked at the children below and was quite assertive, now that they have their own ideas, they will give advice, but they will not impose their own ideas on them.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll take my time." Zhao Haiyi is full of confidence.
A large family was sitting here, and Li Xiu blushed when she heard the boy's confident confession and the tearful eyes that looked at her.
Growing up so big, no one has ever confessed to her like this, her face was hot and panicked, especially her sister Li Hui's eyes that came to see the jokes, which made her even more embarrassed, turned her head and ran back, not even having the time to say hello to the elders.
"You can't be in a hurry about this matter, it's your children's own business, we won't interfere too much, if Xiu'er agrees, we won't object." Li Qingshan, the patriarch, finally said this sentence in a summary manner.
Because of so many years of experience, he knows that children will have their own judgments, just like Li Ruyi and Li Anxi's happiness now, Li Hui found the person he likes, although the other party's status is noble, but very happy.
It seems that the marriage of this eldest granddaughter has also arrived, and there is no good one among so many matchmakers these days, isn't this a ready-made one?
"Hey, hey, okay, thank you, grandparents, uncles and aunts." Zhao Haiyi smirked happily, standing in the middle of the dining room and not knowing how to sit down, he looked very honest.
"But Haiyi, I'm an elder, I still advise you, you can't delay your study because of this, you came to the capital to study, don't be in a hurry about this matter, the first thing is to do your homework well, you know?"
Li Qingshan looked at the stupid boy's stunned appearance, and he was afraid that the scientific examination would be delayed because of emotional matters, which would be a big regret.
"Don't worry, grandpa, I won't, school will start in a few days, I'll move to the academy, I will take the test well, and I will definitely get it back." Take it back to Xiu'er, he didn't say this sentence in his heart, it was a request for himself, and it was also a promise to Li Xiu.
The time at home always flies quickly, sending Zhao Haiyi to the academy, and then Li Yujin and Li Yuqian should also set off to take office again, but fortunately, this time it is relatively close to the capital, and if you want to come back, it will only be a day or two away, and you can get there in half a day if you ride a horse.
This can be regarded as the emperor's special grace, and the two counties closest to the capital were divided into two brothers, which made many people blush, thinking of the two poorest counties given to the two people last year, and the two most extreme comparisons that were closest to the capital this year.
Last year's candidates who were officials in the same dynasty were very envious, last year was ridicule, and this year no one said anything that looked down on them like that, only a few looked at the two brothers with resentment.
No matter what others think, the two are about to take office, and the Li family, as always, has prepared a lot of food and drink for them, but because of the proximity, they are much more relieved than when they were in Tanggu County and Qingyuan County.
At the same time, the Zhao family in Ningyuan Province
"Master, is there a letter from Yi'er? How is it in the capital? A woman in her thirties, wearing a dark red dress, asked the man in front of her curiously.
The man also looks in his thirties, with a moderate figure and a beard, but it does not affect his image as a beautiful man at all, and it is a rare match with a woman.
"Yes, this stinky boy, you know that you have written to us, I thought he wouldn't know to tell us about safety without asking him." The man said angrily.
It turns out that this man and a woman are Zhao Haiyi's parents, Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, they are a big family in Ningyuan Province, and they have never been officials, but they have always been very business-minded.
"Look at what you said, how can our children do that, they must be thinking about the two of us, you hurry up and take a look, see what is written?"
"You're just going to get used to it, and see what it looks like!" Master Zhao complained.
"Don't talk about me, you're not spoiled as a child, I see that you are more spoiled than me, so don't talk about me." Mrs. Zhao glanced at Master Zhao, who doesn't know that the Zhao family is not like other families, they are all loving mothers and strict fathers, their family is not the opposite, but loving mothers and fathers.
The husband has always spoiled the children more than her, who is a mother, and he is simply unprincipled, and he is embarrassed to say others, his loving father is famous in the provincial city, but fortunately, his children are more sensible and not crooked, or their husband and wife will cry.
"Okay, okay!" Master Zhao touched his nose, what Mrs. said made sense, and then opened the letter in his hand, and just looked at it, he shouted: "Look at it, you still said that you can think of the two of us, I think if it's okay, you will forget about us a long time ago." ”
That's what he said, but Master Zhao's tone was a little excited no matter how he heard it.
"Look at you, what is written in the letter, and don't show it to me." Mrs. Zhao snatched the letter from Master Zhao's hand, swept it over at a glance, and couldn't help grinning.
"Oh, it's really good news, don't say it, this stinky boy is really good, he hasn't been allowed to say kiss to him, it turns out that this is a favorite, not bad, we will have a daughter-in-law soon."
Mrs. Zhao couldn't be happy, it turned out that Zhao Haiyi didn't care whether the Li family agreed or not, and wrote directly to his parents, asking them to go to the capital as soon as possible to propose to him, and he fell in love with a girl.
At the end of the letter, he also said that they should hurry up, otherwise it would be too late for the girl to be married by someone else, and told them to hurry up.
"Hehe, madam, let's hurry up and pack our things and go to the capital, otherwise the daughter-in-law here will be snatched away by others." Master Zhao was as happy as Mrs. Zhao, and he couldn't wait to go to the capital immediately.
"Then I have to talk to my father, how can you just leave." After speaking, Mrs. Zhao took the lead in walking to the back, wanting to share the good news with Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao.
Although the population of the Zhao family is large, the relationship is relatively simple, because the old lady Zhao has only one wife in his life, although the people are prosperous, but the brothers and sisters are the closest people, and there are not so many struggles between them such as snatching family property.
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao live in the back, because they feel that the back is quieter, and there are often people in the front yard who come to talk about business, which is not suitable for them to be elderly.
Every day, several children in the family will take out a meal to accompany them to eat, and the days are not boring.
Seeing the eldest son and daughter-in-law coming over in a hurry, the old couple thought that there was something big that couldn't be solved, and they couldn't help complaining about such a big person, but they still lacked concentration.
No wonder, Old Lady Zhao and Old Lady Zhao were both influential figures in this area when they were young, and they were decisive and flexible, which made the Zhao family's business grow a lot, and then they were handed over to the eldest son, who was Zhao Haiyi's father, and they lived with peace of mind.
"Daddy, I'll tell you good news, Yi'er has a girl she likes!" Before he walked up, there was a loud and happy voice of Master Zhao.
Although Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao are not young, their eyes are not dazzled or deaf, and they have not stopped smiling after hearing them: "This is a good thing, my grandson finally has someone he likes!" ”
Looking at the appearance of the Zhao family, it is obvious that Zhao Haiyi's family affairs also make them anxious.
After that, Mrs. Zhao told the two old men what Zhao Haiyi said in the letter, and praised Li Xiu in the letter, she was a peerless good girl.
"Good thing, good thing, then you go over quickly, hurry up and settle this matter, in case such a good girl becomes someone else's family, we should regret it!" Mrs. Zhao was a hundred satisfied, and she had a good impression in her heart before she saw anyone.
Well, it is impossible for the Li family to think that the Zhao family would be such a family, this level of openness is not inferior to the Li family at all, the key is that the people in the family are also very good, I don't know how such a big family can achieve this level.
It's no wonder that a teenager with a character like Zhao Haiyi will be raised, and the personality of the family is good, even if he is allowed to grow by himself, it is difficult to grow crooked.
"Daddy, we're here to tell you about this, so we're going to pack up our things and go to the capital quickly." Things were decided so happily, and none of them wanted to waste time.
"You husband and wife, go and go, there are things at home for me and your brother, you don't have to worry." Mrs. Zhao calmly took up the affairs of the family, he was actually in good health, and it was easy to deal with business matters.
"Go, go, just bring my granddaughter-in-law back." Come on, one is more anxious than the other, and in comparison, the party Zhao Haiyi is still a relatively calm one.
Soon, two carriages drove out of Zhao's house, left Ningyuan Province, and walked all the way south.
Here in the Li family, life is the same as before, Li Hui draws pictures at home every day, discusses and discusses with Li Xiu and the embroidery girls, and recruits several embroidery girls, from which the most thoughtful ones are selected, although they can't draw, but they can make the appearance in their hearts.
This made Li Hui a big surprise, this saved her a lot of time, I didn't expect the ancients to be so wise, they could cut it directly and make any kind of clothes they wanted.
I didn't expect such clothes to be more popular with everyone, she waved her hand, directly raised the wages of several embroidery girls, and provided them with a separate room to do design, although the speed was not fast, but the style of clothes after discussion was very good-looking.
Then she doesn't have to do it herself, in order to have a better future, the Li family also invited a painter at a high price, gave lessons to the embroidery girls, explained to them how to match colors, what kind of combination can best get the likes of others, and then there are some simple drawing skills.
Originally, these women felt that they were too old to learn these things, but Li Hui didn't think that many of them were just in their twenties, and even the older ones were only in their thirties, and it was the best time to encourage them.
The owner gave such a high salary, and invited a painter to teach them, they naturally worked hard to learn, but they didn't expect to work hard to get these not difficult, they don't need to learn too exquisite painting skills, in order to assist in the design of clothes and color matching.
Ten days later, at the gate of the capital, two carriages slowly entered
"Master, where is Yi'er's academy? Shall we go to him first? It turned out that the carriage was Zhao Haiyi's parents, Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, and the two had already entered Beijing.
"Let's find a place to live first, this kid lives in the academy, there must be no place outside, let's settle down and then go to him." Master Zhao thought it was quite thoughtful.
In fact, the two of them were thinking more about meeting the girl their son liked as soon as possible, but they knew that they couldn't come to the door directly, so they were very entangled now.
"It's still the gentleman who thinks thoughtfully, and the gifts we came to visit or something, they were all prepared at home, very hasty, do we have to buy some more, but we can't leave a bad impression on the first visit."
"Of course, let's go, let's go to the best restaurant." After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, he instructed the coachman in front of him that they needed to take a good rest. (To be continued.) )
