Chapter XXIV

"Then it's decided, Steward Sun and I have to rush back to restore our lives, followed by Nacai, ask for the name, Xiaoding, the Sun family said that there is no need to worry about everything, and a grandmother and a maid will be sent to accompany the Wang family girl to embroider the wedding dress." The matchmaker stood up with a beaming face.

"You've worked hard." Chen Qilin, who had not spoken, stood up and wanted to see off the guests.

Steward Sun stood up and arched, he couldn't wait to leave the Chen family quickly, this big family was too noisy.

"Steward Sun, please stay." Chen Xiucai saluted Steward Sun, "This family matter is still to be discussed." ”

For a moment, the atmosphere froze.

"Brother-in-law," Chen Xiucai walked in front of Wang Baozhu, "My sister has been married into the Wang family for more than ten years, abiding by etiquette, worshiping her mother-in-law, and being kind to her sister-in-law, and now she is gone, leaving only one Jinghao." As a father, you must want Jing Hao to find a good son-in-law, just now you also said what kind of family the Sun family is, a group of rich and noble slaves, I am afraid that Jing Hao will be restrained, in my opinion, it is better to give it to the right person. ”

"Chen Xiucai's words are deviant, they all say that they bow their heads to marry their daughters, and raise their heads to marry their daughters, I think the Sun family looks at Jinghao and also has this meaning in it." Old Lady Wang spoke.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Baozhu were taken to the Chen family by Chen Zichang early in the morning, and the Zhao family happily said that the Sun family wanted to hire the eldest lady to Chen Qilin, but it happened that the eldest young master of the Sun family had not married, and the good thing was that they wanted to hire Jing Hao. The mother and son of the Wang family naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and they didn't know that the eldest young master of the Sun family was a fool, but now looking at this situation, even if he is a fool, he doesn't care. It's just a girl, who to marry is not to marry.

"Boss, you're just a quiet uncle, it's not your turn to speak here." Mrs. Chen said this sentence over and over again.

Chen Xiucai was no longer reasoning with Wang Baozhu, and turned his head to ask Chen Qilin: "My nephew is discussing marriage with the eldest lady of the Sun family?" ”

Chen Qilin's hand grabbed the corner of his clothes uneasily, and when he heard Chen Xiucai ask, he nodded unnaturally.

"You can enter the White Horse Academy to study, you know that you are a good person, and I am extremely happy as your enlightened teacher. Do you remember the Mencius I asked you to read when you were a child? Chen Xiucai looked at Chen Qilin calmly.

"Yes." Chen Qilin's eyes showed uneasiness, being able to enter the White Horse Academy to study was because Xue Yao begged the master of the Ding Mansion, not how advanced his skills were compared to other students. What he didn't know was that Chen Xiucai entrusted the dean to take care of him.

"Then you carry it and listen to it." Chen Xiucai said gently.

Chen Qilin was silent.

"Living in the world, standing in the right position of the world, and walking the road of the world; The will and the people are left to it, and the will is not to go alone; The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bowed: this is called a great husband. Qing Yue's warm voice sounded, and Chen Qi, who was standing at the door, spoke loudly.

"Big brother, this is when we were enlightened, the master asked us to carry it, I think the eldest brother must have not forgotten jì like me. As a husband, you must understand your own responsibilities, and you must not pass your responsibilities onto others. Chen Qi'an faced Chen Qilin.

Chen Xuejiao couldn't help but applaud her brother.

"Big brother, do you still remember the days when we studied together, when we saw the book that the former emperor of the Mourning Dynasty ignored state affairs and was obsessed with cultivating immortals, and when the dog Rong called, in order to negotiate peace and let Princess Showa go to the wilderness to make peace, you said at the time that it was not a big husband to sacrifice women to get a living and steal a living. I admired my eldest brother very much, and my eldest brother still remembers this. Qi An looked into the depths of Qi Lin's eyes.

"The second brother's memory is really good, but fortunately, the second brother reminded me of it." Qi Lin smiled reluctantly.

Except for Chen Xiucai, a room of people only saw the brothers playing dumb riddles, and Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "What nonsense, you are all cultural people who chew words, don't delay Steward Sun's business, people have to go back to restore their lives." ”

"Okay, okay." Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out in the courtyard.

Chen Xuejiao and the others turned around and saw that it was Master Qin who walked into the courtyard with paces, followed by Wang Baoshan and others.

Chen Xiucai and others gave a salute to Master Qin, and then to the old man who was supported by Wang Baoshan. Old Man Chen hurriedly asked Master Qin to sit on the top, and Master Qin tried his best to resign, but let the old man supported by Wang Baoshan go to the top.

"Pillar." The old man said majestically, "You can take me as the patriarch in your eyes. ”

Wang Baozhu got up and said cautiously: "Don't dare, uncle, why are you here, it's far away." ”

"If I don't come, the face of the entire Wang family will be lost by you." The crutches of the Wang family patriarch slammed the ground.

"Uncle He, what you said can be strict, Baozhu has always been extremely filial to me, and he doesn't act badly at all, except that he doesn't have a son, which is also the reason why he is the first daughter-in-law, how can he be embarrassed." Old Lady Wang was very uncomfortable when she heard the patriarch's words.

"I heard that I'm going to book someone for Jing Hao now?" The patriarch of the Wang family asked.

"Yes, this is the matter of the lintel of the Guangyao Wang's family, it is the Sun family who has taken a fancy to Jinghao and wants to hire him as a young grandmother." Mrs. Wang said proudly, looking at the face of the Wang family's patriarch Tie Qing to further explain, "The Sun family is Sun Daju."

"A woman's opinion." The patriarch of the Wang family interrupted Mrs. Wang's words, "The law of our dynasty stipulates that you are not allowed to marry for three years during the filial piety period, and you will discuss marriage when you are still in the filial piety period. ”

As soon as Mrs. Wang and Wang Baozhu heard that they were going to eat prison food, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. Although they also knew that they could only marry after the filial piety period was three years, they didn't know that they had to eat in prison, and they had hesitated before, but Xueyao said that the Sun family was a big family, and even the county magistrate gave seven points of face, and when the time came, there was something that the Sun family would bear.

"The Sun family didn't inquire clearly." The patriarch of the Wang family looked at Steward Sun and said unceremoniously, "Jinghao is still in the filial piety period, and I can't discuss marriage, so please go back and tell Sun Juren truthfully." ”

Steward Sun gasped, Chen Zichang's family didn't make it clear to the Sun family that the girl of the Wang family was still in the filial piety period.

"Fortunately, I came, if I don't come, I don't know what chaos will happen, Baozhu, you go back and kneel in the ancestral hall for me." The patriarch of the Wang family said sharply, looked at Chen Xiucai, "Thank you uncle." ”

Jing Hao grabbed Xue Jiao's arm and breathed a sigh of relief.

Steward Sun and the matchmaker complained that they wanted to leave, and Zhao's face turned purple. I originally thought that I would hide the matter of Jing Yi in the filial piety period, and when the raw rice was cooked and matured, it would naturally be easy to say, if this matter could not be concealed after the marriage, the Sun family would also be responsible, and naturally I would think of a solution, who would have thought that the head of the Wang family would come in a hurry.

"Since this family affair can't be done, the master of the Wang family will also return one hundred taels of silver back to the Sun family." Steward Sun opened his mouth towards Wang Baozhu.

One hundred taels of silver, Mrs. Wang gasped, and scolded the patriarch of the Wang family in her heart.

"I finally got a hundred taels of silver, what's the use of giving birth to a daughter, losing money and goods." Wang Baozhu snorted angrily.

"I don't think your father is a blessing, since you dislike her as a money-loser, why don't I pay a hundred taels of silver, and let your girl help me lay paper and polish ink in the future." Master Qin suddenly spoke.

Wang Baozhu nodded when he heard this.

Jing Hao sighed, Xue Jiao gave her a reassuring look, so don't let the daughter who sells her daughter for glory.

"Steward Sun, please follow me to get the silver." Master Qin said.

"Master Qin, I have a hundred taels here, give it to Steward Sun first, I think he has to rush to restore his master's life." Huang Sanlang lifted the curtain and walked in, holding a silver ticket in his hand and handing it to Steward Sun.

After Steward Sun left, Mrs. Wang angrily teased Mrs. Chen: "Don't explain anything clearly, you just think about your grandson, you don't know that Jinghao is still in the filial piety period, and Baozhu almost ate in prison." ”

Old Mrs. Chen wiped her eyes and said: "What kind of family did the eldest sister-in-law say, who am I for, not to let Baozhu have a support for the rest of his life, if Jing Hao really marries into the Sun family, you and Baozhuqing are waiting to enjoy the glory and wealth." ”

Seeing that the two old ladies were about to quarrel, the patriarch of the Wang family hurriedly ordered Wang Baozhu to go back with his mother with him. Chen Xiucai and Old Man Chen kept the patriarch of the Wang family and Wang Baoshan for dinner, and the two said that they were anxious to go back to collect the beans in the field, and entrusted Old Man Chen to leave Jinghao before leaving.

Zhao's chest hurt, and he was helped back to the back room by Xue Yao and Qi Lin.

Jinghao was accompanied by Xue Jiao to thank Master Qin and Huang Gongzi.

The Li family asked Master Qin to eat, but Master Qin refused.

"Jing Hao girl goes to help me grind ink every morning, Xue Jiao girl said that she will make a good dish, and she will come with Jing Hao tomorrow." After Master Qin finished speaking, he didn't say hello to everyone, raised his legs and left.
