After Liao's family finished eating, Liao Shang still went back to the study. I took a few paintings of the former Danqing master and studied them carefully.

Mrs. Liao pushed the door in and saw that Liao Shang was studying Danqing again, so she said: "Shang'er, why are you studying these useless things again, you will have to go to the imperial examination next year, you should read more books." ”

Liao Shang knew that his mother had high expectations for him, so he walked over, pressed Mrs. Liao to her seat, and said, "I'll just take a look and read a book in a while." Then he asked, "Is there anything good about my mother today?" ”

Mrs. Liao patted Liao Shang's hand on her shoulder and said, "There is a good thing, my mother has found you a good family." ”

When Liao Shang heard this, it turned out that this was the case, what kind of background could he not know? That is, it looks glamorous on the face, but in fact, it is not as good as the landlord's house on the outskirts of the city. For a long time, Liao Shang felt that he could only find someone like his sister-in-law Tong, who was born in a small family, with superficial knowledge, and couldn't get on the stage, let alone talk to himself, so he said dispensably: "Mother, I'm still young, and I don't want to be distracted before I go off next year." ”

Mrs. Liao said: "If it is a girl from another family, my mother will not be unreasonable, but this girl will not harm you to the end......

Liao Shang wondered: "Whose girl is my mother talking about?" ”

Mrs. Liao smiled and said, "The second girl of the Chu family." Your aunt told me personally. ”

Liao Shang looked at Mrs. Liao in surprise and said, "Mother, have you been fooled by your aunt?" Although our family and the Chu family are in-laws, they have long been defeated, so how can the Marquis of Subei marry his daughter to me? ”

Mrs. Liao snorted, "My son, what are you talking nonsense? Our Liao family is also a Northwest Wang family, and you are self-motivated, why can't you marry a girl from the Chu family? Your aunt said, that Mrs. Subei Hou personally went to the second young master of the Chu family to ask you a lot of things, what did she do if she didn't give you a kiss? ”

The second young master of the Chu family? Isn't that Chu Ming? Why didn't you hear him mention it? Liao Shangdao: "It's just to ask, not necessarily to discuss relatives." It may also be that the subordinates spread the wrong ...... with false rumors."

Mrs. Liao still said: "You can't be wrong. I mentioned to your aunt before that I wanted to ask you to marry Miss Chu San, and your aunt also went to Mrs. Hou to mention it. didn't think that in the end, she wanted to marry the second girl Chu. It was such a surprise. ”

Liao Shang didn't expect Mrs. Liao to ask to marry the third girl, and said in amazement: "Mother, what do you think is a show, so you can discuss it with me." ”

Mrs. Liao said: "The marriage event was originally the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, besides, are you not satisfied with the girl of the Chu family?" ”

"It's not ......," Liao Shang muttered. Thinking of the poems made by the second girl of Chu and the paintings painted by the third girl of Chu that were circulated during the big exam in the past, I suddenly felt that if I could marry one of them, maybe my life would be different in the future......

Mrs. Liao looked at Liao Shang and bowed her head silently, knowing that he had agreed, she shook his hand and said, "Since it's not, let's wait for the good news from my mother." ”

Mrs. Liao is also a man of action, since she has received Liao's letter, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that it should be finalized as soon as possible, so as to save long nights and dreams. I found Mama, a famous matchmaker in the city, brought a dowry, and went to the door of the Chu family with joy.

When Chang heard Mrs. Liao's intention, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he hadn't replied to Liao's yet, why did the Liao family come to the door?

But I didn't think much about it, because I felt that Liao Shang was suitable, it was not impossible to set the matter of Huiyu by the way.

Thinking so, Chang changed into festive clothes and greeted him with a smile on his face.

As soon as she saw Chang's, Ma's mother put on a flattering smile and said, "Mrs. Hou Ye is very happy, the little one is for Hou Ye, and Mrs. is happy......

Chang also smiled: "Mother Ma, where does this joy come from?" ”

Ma's mother made a gesture to Chang's and said: "The second son of the Liao family is dignified and knowledgeable, and the second girl of your mansion is as beautiful as a flower, with both talent and virtue, and she is really a perfect match in heaven and earth." ”

Chang frowned when he heard this, why is it the second girl? Didn't Liao say Hui Yu at that time?

Seeing that Chang didn't speak, Ma's mother also sensed that something was wrong, and squeezed her eyes at Mrs. Liao.

Mrs. Liao hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Madam, the second girl in the house is famous, graceful and kind, I really love it from the bottom of my heart, and I have come to ask for my second son Shang Ge'er to marry." ”

What's going on? I talked about Huiyu before, and I also tossed around to find out about Liao Shang's situation, and felt that the two children were quite suitable. Why did you come to the door and ask to marry Danyu? Isn't that child's play?

Chang was faintly angry, and it was not good to attack in front of Ma's mother. Then he said: "Mrs. Liao, I have some things I want to discuss with you, why don't we move to the side hall?" ”

Mrs. Liao only thought that Chang had something private to say, so she went to the side hall with Chang.

When he arrived at the side hall, Chang said: "Madam, last time the second brother and sister told me that they wanted to marry our third girl for the second son of the house, why did you come to marry the second girl today?" But what's the misunderstanding? ”

Mrs. Liao was also surprised when she heard this, didn't the Hou Mansion want to change to Danyu? Then he said: "I was going to talk about the third girl, but later the second lady of the house said that she liked the second girl, so she came to ask to marry the second girl......"

When Chang heard it, good guy, this is taking the rumors as the truth, the wall is grassy, and when he sees a better one, he ignores his original intention, and he is in the twilight of Qin, how can such a family get married? Then he said: "At the beginning, it was your Liao family who asked the second brother and sister to come to Sister Hui, and after the second brother and sister talked to me, I really thought about Brother Shang, and I also felt that Sister Hui was a match, but now you are asking to marry Sister Dan, is it such a child's play for children?" Or do you think that the girls of our Chu family are so cheap and picked by you! ”

Mrs. Liao was also dumbfounded when she saw Chang's anger. Isn't this what the Chu family wants to replace with Danyu themselves? How did it become the Liao family and Qin Duchu again? But he was afraid that the boiled duck would fly, so he hurriedly defended: "Madam, our Liao family has no intention of picking, whether it is the second girl or the third girl, it is excellent, and our brother Shang is not limited to which." ”

When Chang Shi heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, and said, "How can you Brother Shang, Sister Dan, and Sister Hui be worthy?" If it weren't for the thin noodles of my second brother and sister, I wouldn't have considered Brother Shang at all! ”

Mrs. Liao was scolded so much that her face was red and white for a while, but because of the loss, she didn't dare to fight back, and secretly scolded her sister-in-law for being unreliable, and she actually took it to talk about things without a shadow, which made the bamboo basket empty now.

Chang was angry, Caixia hurriedly walked in, and said a few words in Chang's ear.

Chang said: "Since your Liao family hasn't figured out what kind of daughter-in-law to find for Brother Shang, our Chu family can't afford it." That's it, don't mention it again. ”

After saying that, he walked out.

This Xiangshi's mother also came to see Mrs. Liao and others out of the house.

Ma's mother looked at Mrs. Liao's face, and guessed that the top ten of these family affairs were yellow.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, Ma's mother said, "Madam, didn't you say that the two families have made a decision?" Why is there no play? ”

Mrs. Liao naturally didn't want to tell the real reason, but said: "If you put the eight characters together, you will say that it is not appropriate, so you will do it." ”

Ma's mother snorted and said, "It won't be that you dislike your brother with Gao Zhi, right?" ”

Mrs. Liao's face sank, and she said, "What do you say about Mom?" ”

Ma's mother said: "When Mrs. Fang Cai was in the side hall, she came all the way to ask for marriage, and it was from the Qi Bu Envoy's Mansion. The matchmaker's mother-in-law happened to know me, and while waiting for Mrs. Hou, the two of us said a few words, and Fang knew that the Qi Mansion was also here to ask to marry the second girl of Chu. I guess it's not because of the Qi family's brother, so I dislike your brother, right? Otherwise, a good marriage will come to an end, but it will change again? ”

Mrs. Liao was already scolded by Chang's family, and after listening to Ma's mother's words, her anger was suddenly provoked, and she secretly said in her heart: Why don't you agree, it turns out that she got a daughter and two Xu, a good Subei Hou Mansion, it is really a big bully!

The more Madam Liao thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she turned around and went back to the Hou Mansion.

Chang was discussing Qi Peng and Danyu's family affairs with Zeng's family, and when he heard Shi's mother come to report, he only thought that Mrs. Liao did not give up and still wanted to come to ask for marriage, so he whispered to Shi's mother: "You leave her in the side hall, and I will go over when this side is over." ”

Who knew that Mrs. Liao broke in regardless of it, and saw that Chang and Zeng were exchanging family tokens, and she was angry and scolded: "What a Subei Hou Mansion!" I also said how good you can refuse our brother! It turned out that he promised Brother Qi again! It is said that the Chu family is a big family, but they also do such a dirty thing with one daughter and two promises! Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? ”

Zeng Shi was confused when he heard it, but he also looked at this scene, and asked Chang Shi, "Madam, what's the matter with this second girl?" ”

Chang Shi said indifferently: "Madam, our Chu family has always been frank and unscrupulous, and this kind of immoral thing will never be done. He added: "Madame, do you want to go to the side hall to rest for a while, and then we will discuss it after Mrs. Liao and I explain the matter clearly?" ”

Mrs. Liao stopped the Zeng family and said, "Since Mrs. Hou wants to make her words clear, she should be in front of Mrs. Qi and save Mrs. Qi from being the wrongdoer!" ”

Chang really didn't know where Mrs. Liao got such confidence, so he said: "Since Mrs. Liao doesn't mind the damage to her reputation, I am willing to make it clear in front of Mrs. Qi." At the beginning, you asked your second brother and sister to ask to marry Sister Hui'er, but now you come to the door to ask to marry Sister Dan'er, such words and deeds are inconsistent, how can you discuss marriage?"

Mrs. Liao said: "That's because your Chu family suddenly wants to be replaced by a second girl, so we came to ask for a marriage!" ”

Chang sneered: "Whoever is planning to discuss their children's relatives is not cautious and cautious, how can there be a few days ago that he said that he would kiss this girl, and after a few days he became another girl, even if he really wants to change, he will come to the door to make it clear in person, so rely on the grapevine to change people, I can only say that my mind is not firm and not sincere enough!" ”

Mrs. Liao was speechless, but she was unwilling to be defeated, so she said: "It's not that we don't sincerely ask to marry, it's that your three girls are not good enough to be worthy of our brother Shang!" As for the second girl, your Chu family is willing to have one daughter and two Xu like this, and we are not uncommon! After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

was belittled by Mrs. Liao in such a reckless manner, Chang was only so angry that his chest was tight and short.

After watching such a farce, Zeng had no intention of continuing to discuss family affairs, and the two parties had already decided on family affairs, and the rest of the things could be discussed slowly, so he left.
