Chapter Seventy-Five: The Matchmaker
Xu was to express his comfort to the Dou family, and the Chu Dynasty had taken leave to rest at home in the Ningcai Courtyard for the past few days. Hui Yu was embarrassed to always run to the long room.
Dou Shi said vigorously that it didn't matter, and said that Hui Yu could help make children's clothes, and said sincerely and eagerly, Hui Yu had to run once a day, but every time he was very knowledgeable about the times, he sat down for a while and left.
On this day, Hui Yu sat in Dou's room for half a pillar of incense, and left under the pretext that she was going back to prepare for the exam.
Before he walked out of the door of the Ningcai Courtyard, he saw two maids who had just combed their hair talking together.
I only heard one of the maids say: "You haven't seen Chunju's belly, it's not been three months, it's bulging out, and the head is pointy." I've heard my mother say before, a boy with a pointed head, it would be terrible if Chunju gave birth to a boy......"
Another maid said, "Our grandmother's belly doesn't seem to be pointy...... Could it be that she is pregnant with a girl? β
The maid pinched her before and said, "Be quiet, I don't see where this is, if someone else listens to it, do you want your little life." β
The other maid suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
Hui Yu's brows furrowed when she heard this, no one has anyone to discipline the maids in this Ning Cai Courtyard? chewing the root of the tongue like this, if Dou Shi heard it, he didn't know how to drill the tip of the horns. Hui Yu silently remembered the appearance of these two maids, and was ready to find a time to talk to Dou.
On the one hand, Huiyu is still young, and it is too early to discuss relatives, on the other hand, the secret of the four rooms is very important to the long room, and Hui Yu's family affairs should take into account the conservative nature of the secret, and in case of exposing the greatest Cheng dΓΉ to reduce the threat. Therefore, this family matter is cautious, and it must be seen by the Marquis of Subei in person.
It just so happened that the Marquis of Subei was resting on this day. After Chang finished changing clothes, he asked, "Master Hou, there is something I have to tell you." A few days ago, the second brother and sister mentioned that they wanted to ask her mother's brother Shang to marry Sister Hui, but I didn't dare to respond, so I waited for you to come back to discuss. β
Subei Hou flicked his clothes, sat down, and said, "Brother Shang of the Liao family? I haven't heard of it. β
Chang Shi said: "It is the second son of the eldest of the Liao family, and now our clan is attached to school, and I heard that the schoolwork is good." β
Su Beihou took a sip of tea and said, "Sister Hui'er, what's wrong recently?" Does she know about the fourth room? β
Chang said: "Sister Hui goes to the school every morning and goes to Ningcai Academy to accompany Dou in the afternoon, but there is nothing abnormal. There's not much news from Caiyun either. β
Subei Hou said: "If Sister Hui doesn't know about the fourth room, it doesn't hurt to find her a family." But we can't find a family that is too strong, we have to be able to control it in the Chu family. In case Sister Hui finds out the truth, we can solve it in time. β
Chang Shi understood what was powerful, and asked again: "What does Master Hou think of the Liao family's brother?" β
Subei Hou pondered for a moment and said: "The Liao family is declining day by day, the Liao boss in charge is mediocre and incompetent, guarding the ancestral industry and not thinking of making progress, coupled with the prosperity of the Liao family, the expenditure is very heavy, and now it is also bearing the false name of a big family, but in fact, it has long been decayed inside." Such a family, with a good name, will definitely be attached to the Chu family. It's a good choice, but I don't know how about Brother Shang? It's not okay to be too promising, it's better to live at home..."
Chang Shi saw that the Marquis of Subei seemed to agree with this family matter, and said: "Listening to the second brother and sister, it seems that he is smart and sensible, and he is a ...... who seeks progress."
Su Beihou said: "If it is really promising, then it will not work, in case it is full of wings in the future, it will be difficult to control." You go and inquire again, Sister Hui is still young, so you can't be in a hurry about this matter......"
Chang's answer is.
Subei Hou said again: "You also have to worry more about the Dou family, Dou Qiming's official fortune is prosperous, and I don't know what position he will be promoted to in the future." The attitude of the saint towards the four marquis mansions is not clear, and the in-laws of the Dou family still need to be consolidated. Although that Chunju is pregnant with Chao'er's flesh and blood, after all, it is a means, and it is good to let her be born, but it is really not good, and in the end, she will go to the mother and keep the child......"
Chang's heart was shocked, and he originally planned to wait for Chunju to give birth and send it to Zhuangzi far away, but he didn't think that Hou Ye would think like this, so he said: "The concubine knows." β
Su Beihou looked at his wife, thought of Aunt Yang again, and said: "There are many people in the family who have bodies, and I have worked hard for you recently." Aunt Yang also stared at it, after all, when she was old, it was not as easy as when she was young. β
Chang snorted coldly, and mentioned Aunt Yang again as he spoke, he was really relieved, so he said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, these heavy bodies and concubines have sent experienced mothers to serve them, and they also specially invited Mrs. Hu to wait at home, for fear that something will happen." β
Chang's work is still quite safe, Su Beihou nodded, and said: "I don't have to worry about you doing things, this arrangement is very good." β
Hui Yu was busy preparing for the exams at the end of the month in Yurong Courtyard, and Emerald walked in with a letter and said, "Girl, this is a letter from Miss Qi Fu to you." β
Huiyu took it and took a look, it turned out to be Sister Zhen'er, and she wondered why she suddenly wrote a letter, and after reading the letter, she realized that Sister Zhen was thinking about herself, and asked her to invite her to the house as a guest in the next post.
Hui Yu looked at Sister Zhen'er's delicate and childish tone in the letter, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and asked others to invite her to be a guest like this......
However, I missed Sister Zhen for a while, so Huiyu wrote back a letter and made another post to invite Sister Zhen to be a guest.
On the afternoon of the second day, Sister Zhen came to the second room in a carriage, but not alone, but by Mrs. Qi.
Liao Shi naturally came out to greet him, and said, "What kind of wind brought Mrs. out?" It's really blooming. β
Mrs. Qi said: "It's Sister Zhen who wants to come to find the third girl to play, I was afraid that she would be naughty and disobedient, so I followed." β
Liao said: "The girls are so comfortable playing by themselves, you have to join in the fun next to you." Let them play with themselves, and let's go and sit down. β
Mrs. Qi couldn't shirk it, and told Qi Zhen again, and then followed Liao to Anhua Hall.
Without the presence of adults, Qi Zhen suddenly relaxed, took Huiyu's hand and said, "Why hasn't Sister Huiyu come to see me for so long?" If I hadn't written to you, would you have forgotten about me? β
Hui Yu said: "How can I forget you, I was busy preparing for the exam these days, so I didn't bother to play with you, I thought I would give you a post after the exam, but I didn't expect you to write to me first......"
As soon as she heard that Huiyu was going to take the exam, Qi Zhen became a little uneasy and asked, "Then will my coming here today affect my sister's preparation for the exam?" β
Hui Yu nodded Qi Zhen's forehead and said with a smile: "Isn't it a little late to think about it now...... Sister Jane is here, and I can't help but entertain her. β
Qi Zhen's little face showed grievances, and said, "Then, then I'll go back to my mother quickly...... Wait for my sister to finish the exam and come back. β
Hui Yu couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly grabbed Qi Zhen and said, "Sister is joking with you, you are still serious." Even if you have to take exams, you can't always read books, and you just happen to play with you, so it's a combination of work and rest. β
Qi Zhen pouted: "My sister will bully people." He attached it to Huiyu's ear and said, "Sister, let's go to your house and talk, I haven't been to your yard yet." β
Hui Yu said: "Okay, there is a big water tank in my small yard, and there are a few goldfish in it, but it looks good." β
After speaking, the two went to Yurong Courtyard together.
Hui Yu ordered people to put food on the small stone table, and invited Qi Zhen to eat snacks while rewarding goldfish.
Qi Zhen looked at the goldfish and said, "My sister's fish are really good, and my brother also raises goldfish, but it's not as good as my sister's, I should let my sister teach him another day." β
The last time I commented on Qifu Garden, I heard Qi Zhen say that her brother had the same opinion, but I didn't expect to raise goldfish.
Hui Yu said: "This goldfish is also easy to raise, change the water frequently, feed less, otherwise the goldfish will be able to eat." β
Qi Zhen listened and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about what kind of husband you will marry in the future?" β
Huiyu was stunned for a moment when asked, and said, "I haven't thought about it, it's still far away...... Why did my sister ask about this? β
Qi Zhen said: "I think my sister is so good-hearted, what kind of man can be worthy of ......"
Hui Yu was speechless, if she could barely meet the conditions in the original world, if she couldn't do anything here, she guessed that no one could see it...... Hui Yu said: "My sister is too uplifting, I'm just so ordinary that I can't be more ordinary, but if there is one person, holding the hand of the son, and growing old with the son, I will have no regrets in this life......"
Qi Zhen put it next to Hui Yu's ear and said, "I know there is such a person, my brother!" β
Hui Yu was embarrassed and said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense." β
Qi Zhen pouted and said, "Really, my brother is fine!" Sister Huiyu, you can be my sister-in-law! β
Hui Yu was even more embarrassed, and the man who didn't even know his name was going to pull the red line...... Are all children in this era so tough? So he said: "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, we can't talk nonsense." β
Qi Zhen took Huiyu's hand and said, "I want Sister Huiyu to be my sister-in-law, I like Sister Huiyu the most." β
Huiyu saw her playing tricks, so she had to say, "Okay, okay, wouldn't it be better for me to be your sister?" I can't say this nonsense anymore, or my reputation will be ruined......"
Qi Zhen listened to Fang and stopped.
