Chapter 398: Matchmaking
The little maid still expected Shen He to let her go when he heard it, but when Shen He heard it, he ignored her, turned around and ran in, the little maid was left behind, and heard him babble to Mrs. Shen: "Grandmother, hurry, someone has come to propose to Cousin Rong!" ”
Old Madam Shen was surprised, and then a little bored, these days, there are not no people who come to inquire about Xu Qirong, but there are many more, but they are either merchants or poor scholars, and she feels that she is not worthy of Xu Qirong.
So he frowned, and it was not Shen He who provoked him: "How old a person is, he is still so reckless in trouble, and he is also in his own home, if he is seen by outsiders, he will say that my Shen family will not teach children!" ”
He also said: "Your daughter-in-law has been conditioning her body for so long, and she is also a good one, instead of jumping up and down like a monkey all day long, it is better to accompany your daughter-in-law more and add me a white and chubby great-grandson!" ”
Shen He saw that Old Madam Shen was talking about herself, and said with a sneer: "Isn't my grandson sharing my grandmother's worries, cousin Rong's family affairs are a big deal, and I, as a cousin, can't do anything, and I should run errands." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Shen was about to say more, she hurriedly said: "It is Mrs. Tongzhi who came to propose marriage to Cousin Rong, and the matchmakers are all Mrs. Tongzhi, and the people who said it must not be wrong." The eldest uncle is not good at receiving the female dependents, so they must let the eldest aunt and my mother entertain them, grandmother, your eyes are like torches, get up quickly, let's go to the flower hall, and take a walk at that time. ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "You weren't joking with your grandmother?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the little maid panting in. So he turned to ask the little maid: "Is it really Mrs. Tongzhi who came to the matchmaker?" ”
The little maid smiled and said, "Exactly, the eldest lady asked the eldest lady and the eldest grandmother to accompany her, and the eldest lady said that the old lady's eyes are like torches." Let the maid invite the old lady out to palm her eyes. ”
Where is the old lady Shen's good vision, this is because she is worried that she will be blind and unhappy!
Mrs. Shen is in a good mood, as Shen He said, if she can let Mrs. Yu come to the matchmaker, this person can't be any worse. I didn't care about the eldest lady anymore, so I hurriedly said to Qin's mother: "Quick." Find out my wild duck feather's gold-inlaid jacket, let's pack up, and hurry to the flower hall. ”
asked the little maid again: "What about the second son of Cao?" ”
The little maid hurriedly said: "Sit in the flower hall with the matchmaker." I'm talking to Mrs. Tongzhi! ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, her face sank again, her brows furrowed tightly, and Mrs. Tongzhi saw Cao Ergongzi and the matchmaker. I'm afraid that there will be some displeasure in my heart. If Cao Ergongzi talks a few more nonsense, I am afraid that this family business will fail again.
So he hurriedly said to Shen He: "You go out and have a look, be smart." ”
sighed in his heart, guessing this family affair, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Qin's mother said on the side: "It's man-made, since I specially invited Mrs. Tongzhi to be the matchmaker, I'm afraid that I like Miss Biao very much." A good woman begged for a hundred families, and the old lady really didn't need to worry so much. ”
Old Madam Shen was said by her. Also settle down, in her opinion. Her granddaughter is entering the palace as a mother, it is all overkill, if it weren't for bad luck, why did she fall into this embarrassing situation.
Thinking about it like this, I had the confidence, changed my clothes steadily, and took people to the flower hall. When they arrived at the flower hall, Cao Ergongzi and the matchmaker he invited were no longer there, because Mrs. Tongzhi was a female dependent, so as soon as Cao Ergongzi left, Shen Huizhi, Shen Huifeng and others immediately left, leaving the eldest wife He and the eldest grandmother Jin to accompany Mrs. Yu to drink tea and talk.
Mrs. Yu's husband is the master of Jinzhou Tongzhi, and Mrs. Shen is just an old woman who is in business, so Mrs. Yu saw her walk in, she hesitated at first, and when she heard He say that this was the old lady in the family, she greeted her warmly and performed the junior ceremony.
He smiled and said, "I disturbed the old lady, the old lady is so tough, she is a blessed one." ”
Then he stretched out his hand to help Old Madam Shen to take a seat.
Old Madam Shen jumped, her hand froze there, and it was not stretched out, nor was it retracted. He glanced at Jin, Jin hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mrs. Yu's hand, and Mrs. Shen went up to support him affectionately from He, and both took their seats.
Mrs. Yu and the He family are of the same generation, and the Jin family is the daughter-in-law of the He family, so she is naturally a generation younger than Mrs. Yu, and this kind of behavior is not rude.
Mrs. Yu's face was not at all worried, and she was still very enthusiastic when she talked to Mrs. Shen, and said: "I have heard that Mrs. and Mrs. Shen praise the lady of your mansion for a flower-like figure, I am still thinking, what kind of family can raise a little lady like a flower, but now that I see Mrs. Shen, I can be regarded as knowing." ”
Seeing Mrs. Yu so enthusiastic, Mrs. Shen was both happy and apprehensive in her heart, and said with a smile: "My granddaughter, it's not me who boasts about herself, she has been sensible since she was a child. Wherever I can raise, that's what I can raise. ”
Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "The old lady is doing her best for Miss Cousin's family affairs, which shows that she really feels sorry for Miss Cousin." Miss Xu's Derong Yan function is as good as it is now, naturally it is inseparable from the old lady, why should the old lady be modest. ”
said a few more nonsense, talking about the family that asked her to come to the matchmaker: "The family is still rich, and I am a capable person, and I am also handsome, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Miss Xu is a golden boy and girl made in heaven, the only bad thing is that she is a little older, twelve or thirteen years older than Miss Xu, but she has the advantage of being old and knows how to be considerate." The most important thing is that there are no parents at home, and Miss Xu does not have to make rules every day. ”
When Old Madam Shen heard this, she was very satisfied at first, and then when she heard that she was old, she couldn't help frowning: "Twelve or thirteen years older than Sister Rong?" Is this going to marry our sister Rong as a continuation? ”
"Where is the need to marry Xuxian, I will be the matchmaker myself!" Mrs. Yu smiled, "It's still the first marriage!" ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, not only did she not let go, but she became even more suspicious: "Sister Rong has just reached Lu this year, she is twelve or thirteen years older than Sister Rong, so she is twenty-seven or eighteen...... Mrs. Yu, don't blame my wife for being too careful, how can such a good character be twenty-seven or eighteen years old and unmarried? ”
Could it be that there is something unspeakable? If this is really the case, it is better to agree to Cao Ergongzi's side!
Mrs. Yu's expression froze, and then she came to her senses and said with a smile: "You also know that person, if there is anything unspeakable, you should also know, but I don't have to bother with my tongue." ”
"I don't know who?" He asked busily.
Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "It's your Hua Gongzi opposite the Shen Mansion, he entrusted our master, and our master entrusted me to be a matchmaker." Hua Gongzi is handsome, if he lets go, I'm afraid that many little ladies will cry and shout to get married! ”
Old Mrs. Shen was already angry with Hua Yude, but now when she heard Mrs. Yu say this, she was even more angry, many little ladies cried and shouted to get married, and came to beg her precious granddaughter Sister Rong to do something! Who can't go to the woe! (To be continued.) )
