Even Ah Mei didn't say this, he was also ready to use all his skills to win Zhou Rou. In his opinion, a manly husband and a general with tens of thousands of military powers, if he loses to a weak woman in the boudoir, isn't it a joke?

At the moment, I drank fresh and sweet tea, while talking with the beautiful woman. Outside the window, the river breeze was blowing, and the noisy chirping of cicadas and the crisp sound of falling children in the room made him feel calm. And the chess game was deliberately controlled by Zhou Rou, and Zhong Yugui narrowly won, which not only satisfied his manly self-esteem, but also greatly inspired him to play another game with Zhou Rou.

The flowers are half-opened, and the wine is slightly smoky. Everything is a shallow taste, and it is the most seductive.

So when Zhong Yugui proposed to play the next game, Luzhu stopped Zhou Rou in time: "Girl, it's not too early." If you don't go back, Madame should be in a hurry at home. ”

Su Liuniang seemed to have just woken up, and said, "Yes, yes, you said that you only came out for half an hour, which is more than that, let's go quickly." ”

Zhou Rou had to raise her autumn pupils and said apologetically: "I wonder if Mr. will come tomorrow?" If you come, the tea you lost today will be saved for tomorrow, what do you think? ”

How could Zhong Yugui not agree? Liansheng should be "good". Seeing Zhou Rou and the others pack up their things and leave, they felt like they were lost.

In this way, in the next few days, with or without intention, Zhou Rou finally let Zhong Yugui be like the young man who was just starting to fall in love, his heart was shaking, and he couldn't forget it for a while, and couldn't help but ask the second child in the teahouse about Zhou Rou's situation.

"Guest officer, I don't know if you ask others, but you want to ask Miss Zhou, coincidentally, my house is not far from Miss Zhou's house, and I really know her situation." Xiao Er said proudly, "Alas, this week, the girl's family was originally a wealthy businessman, her father did a good job and made a lot of money, but his knees were empty, except for her, there was no man and half girl."

Originally, she had a good life, and she was also the pearl of her parents, giving whatever she wanted. But there are unforeseen circumstances, three years ago, her father suddenly fell ill and returned to the west. And her mother was overly sad and fell ill, and for the past three years, she has been on the sickbed and has become a medicine jar. Miss Zhou was originally a little woman who only knew piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, where had she experienced this?

Those uncles coveted her family's property and repeatedly came to the door to oppress. and tried every means to marry her, so as to marry her, force her mother to death, and embezzle property. Think about it, as soon as you get married, it means that your mother is dead, where is the girl willing to agree to those marriages this week? So he dragged it like this, and tried his best to support the family, so as not to let those uncles encroach on the shop. She occasionally comes to drink tea, but it is just to have fun in the bitterness and distract herself. ”

When Zhong Yugui heard this, he not only regretted Zhou Rou's suffering, but also was extremely happy in his heart - Zhou Rou was not in a good situation, so his wish could be fulfilled. Otherwise, why would the wealthy yellow flower girl marry into his family?

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and asked Xiao Er where Zhou Rou's house was, so he went there to visit.

Fu Heng and others did this bureau, and they naturally arranged it finely. I rented a house not far from the teahouse, and Zhou Rou and others have been living there for the past few days. And he placed men near the house, waiting for him to enter the urn. So when Zhong Yugui visited, he happened to meet a woman who sold needlework and thread coming out of the house and asked her, and the rhetoric was really the same as what Xiao Er said.

On the second day, he saw Zhou Rou in the teahouse, and he finally couldn't bear it, and after a game of chess in a restless mood, he said, "Miss Zhou, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhou Rou glanced at him quietly with those autumn water-like eyes, lowered her eyes and said, "Mama Wu, you go downstairs with Ah Mei and Ye Qing for a while." ”

"Yes." Mama Wu reluctantly responded and left with the two girls.

"What do you have to say, sir?" Zhou Judo.

Zhong Yugui is also a cheerful person, and now that he has made up his mind, he is no longer timid, and immediately said: "I admire the girl and want to marry the girl as a wife, I don't know what the girl wants?" ”

Zhou Rou looked at Zhong Yugui in surprise, then blushed slightly, lowered her eyes, and did not make a sound for a long time.

"It seems that I was abrupt, I'm sorry." Zhong Yugui was both lost and embarrassed in his heart, arched his hand, stood up and was about to leave.

"Sir, can you tell us about the situation at home?" Zhou Rou's sudden words stopped Zhong Yugui's footsteps in time.

Zhong Yugui turned around in surprise, looked at Zhou Rou, and talked about his official position, the amount of property in his family, the number of wives and concubines, and how many children he had.

After hearing this, Zhou Rou raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Yugui quietly, but did not speak.

"I know that I have a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter, and I am forty years old. It was very rude to say this to the girl. But I really admire the girl, and I can't forget it for a while. If you can marry a beautiful woman, you will be as precious as jewelry, and you will not be wronged at all. Zhong Yugui hurriedly said again, his heart was really like fifteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down. This apprehension is no less than the nervousness when I heard that I was made a general and waited to receive the order.

Zhou Rou slowly stretched out her hand, gently ripped off her veil, and revealed her flower and moon appearance in front of Zhong Yugui, then lowered her eyes and said softly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Zhong Yugui looked at Zhou Rou's beautiful face, and when he heard the promise again, he only felt that his heart stopped beating at that moment.

Ecstasy ensued: "Really? That's great. Hahaha......"

"It's just that the situation in my family ......," Zhou Rou said melancholy.

"Everything in your family is with me, don't worry." Zhong Yugui said softly.

Zhou Rou heard these gentle words, her face suddenly turned red, she stood up in a panic, hurried to the stairs, and was about to go downstairs. Behind him, he heard Zhong Yugui say: "Ming'er, I will ask the matchmaker to go to your house to propose marriage." ”

Zhou Rou stopped, didn't look back, shook her head lightly and said, "I'm worried that my mother won't agree." So, please hold off for a few days, and when I can figure out my mother's thoughts, you can come again. ”

"Okay." Where would Zhong Yugui disagree? At this time, he was afraid that Zhou Rou would ask for the moon in the sky as a dowry, and he would have to find a way to pick it up.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Today's dragon boat race was out of the limelight by Fu Heng, and Mrs. Li felt extremely uncomfortable. However, she knew that the daughters of several families upstairs were extremely obsessed with Li Qi, so she felt much more at ease. What can those silly boys change when they play together? Becoming a family of sons and daughters is the real alliance.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Mrs. Su, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Looking at it like this, it seems that it looks good to the Rong family, but in fact, it is just pretending. Otherwise, how could the Su family withdraw the Rong family for no reason, it is estimated that the Rong family has no money and no power, and they have the idea of another marriage, right? This girl from the Rong family, with the situation of her family, can only be a concubine. If you marry a wife, you naturally have to marry a young lady from an official eunuch's family.

"Two ladies?" Seeing that Mrs. Su was silent, and Mrs. Li was in a daze, Mrs. Ge raised her voice and shouted. Here, only she dares to do this. However, although the Ge family's relationship in Pingzhou City is intertwined and powerful, Li Tingshi is the top boss after all. Today, Mrs. Li didn't nod her head, she really couldn't say what she wanted.

"Uh, okay. Let them come up. Mrs. Li came back to her senses and answered. What if Su Boy wins the game? Upstairs, her family Li Qi is the most popular one.

Seeing that Mrs. Ge asked her mother-in-law to go downstairs, Mrs. Li felt a little sorry in her heart. If it weren't for Mrs. Ge's son being that kind of person, how good it would be for the two families to form a family of children. It's a pity that for this matter, now that the Ge family has a relationship with them, they don't get along so well.

The woman went downstairs and went out the back door. In a few moments, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps and the excited chatter of young men in the stairs. Some of the ladies upstairs stood up, and even rushed up to meet them. Seeing your son at this time is completely different from seeing your son at home. Just like in a modern school, when a child wins an award, parents are eager to step forward and touch their child's head to praise it, and they can't help but be excited about these mothers.

As soon as the young men came up, the mothers of each family grabbed them, and some friends from other families came up, and they praised them without words, and the upstairs was suddenly full of human voices.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su shook her head lightly at Mother Lu, and sighed helplessly. She had attended several meetings of the ladies in the city, and she knew the sermons in them. Even if they don't allow these young men to go upstairs today, I'm afraid it won't work. There are daughters in the family who want to marry, and there are sons in the family who want to marry daughters-in-law, and they all want to take advantage of these gatherings to see how the daughters and sons of each family are doing. Some people who spoil their children even take the opportunity to let them pick one by themselves. Several times the parties she organized became blind date meetings. As soon as Mrs. Ge mentioned this just now, she knew what the situation was today.

"Hey, where's Heng'er?" After sighing for a while, she realized that her son did not come, so she hurriedly stood up and asked.

"I was stopped by the wife of the Lin Sima family, and I was talking." Mrs. Li sat firmly in her chair and replied.

Mrs. Su looked over there, and sure enough, she saw Fu Heng standing not far from the staircase, surrounded by two ladies, talking. Next to the two ladies stood two shy-looking girls. And Li Qi was dragged aside, and three or four ladies stood aside, stopping him from asking something.

Mrs. Su turned her face and glanced at Rong Yunhe behind her, but saw that Rong Yunhe was looking out the window, looking at the distant sky in a daze, without the slightest jealousy or displeasure.

She sighed and said to Taohong, who was standing on the side: "Go and call the young master, just say that I have something to find him." ”

Peach took the order and left, and it took a while before bringing Fu Heng back.

"Mother, Mrs. Li, Mother Lu." Fu Heng came over and saluted.

After clenching his fists, Fu Heng set his eyes on Rong Yunhe. Rong Yunhe had already stood up with his mother, and when he saw this, he stood in place and gave Fu Heng a gentle blessing, which was regarded as a salute, and he did not make a sound.

Mother Lu knew Fu Heng's thoughts, so she kept looking at him, worried that he would show something unusual in public. This is in front of the public, and there are Li Yuewan, Xue Wuniang and others by their side, if they are a little careless, it must be Rong Yunhe who will be criticized at that time. Fortunately, she didn't hear the whispers of the ladies just now, and it is estimated that she had left with Rong Yunhe at this time.

"What Su Gongzi did just now is really amazing......" Fu Heng glanced at this, and Mother Lu opened her mouth and praised Fu Heng without a word.

After receiving the praise, Fu Heng naturally said a few words of modesty.

Before he finished speaking, a lady came with her daughter, and after saying a few words to Mrs. Su, she began to praise Fu Heng.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart. Although these two are not those who were obsessed with their own sons, in the past, all the ladies in the city sharpened their heads and wanted to marry her Assassin Shifu, and the only one who had no mouth to praise when they met was Li Qi of her family. But at this moment, seeing the shy appearance of the Lin family girl and the Wang family niece, she obviously fell in love with Fu Heng and asked her mother to come to ask for directions.

At this time, Li Qi finally got rid of the entanglement over there, walked here, and saw that Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang had chased here, so he couldn't help but chuckle, and then turned to Rong Yunhe and hugged his fist: "Miss Rong is here today?" Are you okay? ”

"Yes, I'm in good health, thank you Li Gongzi." Rong Yun and Fu Yifu, standing behind their mother, looking at their nose and nose and heart.

Fu Heng was praised by the two ladies there, and when he saw Li Qi leaning towards Rong Yunhe's side, he didn't feel anxious, and he responded to the praise of those ladies with a shy smile, while frequently looking here. Seeing this, Mrs. Su hurriedly stepped forward to help her son relieve the siege. Fu Heng took the opportunity and hurriedly retreated to Rong Yunhe's corner. At this time, Rong Yunhe was facing the hall, while Li Qi had his back to the hall, Li Yuewan and Xue Wuniang had been pulled by other ladies and were chatting. Fu Heng came over and happened to stand between Rong Yunhe and Li Qi, and the three of them formed the shape of the Three Kingdoms.

When Li Qi saw Fu Heng's move, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and then he smiled at him again: "Brother Su, these two ladies are afraid that they have taken a fancy to you and want you to be your son-in-law, can you see if these two girls are to your liking?" ”

"These ladies are just looking at their mother's face and praising a few words, where is it like what Brother Li thinks? It's Brother Li, I heard that there are already two concubines in the family, and countless ladies in Pingzhou City want to marry Brother Li. Fu Heng smiled at Li Qi, and glanced at Rong Yunhe in the afterglow, and when he saw that Rong Yunhe's face was as calm as water, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This is Sister Rong, right? The little girl Lin Yun, the father Lin Sima, I don't know if my sister remembers? A woman came over, grabbed Rong Yunhe's hand and smiled.

Rong Yunhe saw that this woman was the daughter of Mrs. Lin, who praised Fu Heng just now. (To be continued.) )
