121 Digging pits

Grandma Song hesitated for a while before expressing her idea of asking the second master for help.

Anyway, no one can persuade Zhao Rongzhao now, and it is not a bad way to let Lu Siqi find out the clues and rush to the doctor in a hurry.

After listening to Grandma Song's words, the second master stroked his beard and thought for a while before he said: "Sister-in-law, this matter will be wrapped up in me, but I have one condition, you must not interfere in anything, you can't even ask, and you have to fully cooperate with me, I will keep Rong Zhao able to marry happily." ”

Grandma Song frowned, looked at the second master in confusion, and asked puzzledly, "Second uncle, what do you mean by this?" Can you explain it more clearly? ”

"Sister-in-law, if you can trust me, I will do what I say, if you can't believe it, then you can ask Gao Ming to go." The second master refused to say, and got up with the intention of sending off guests.

Grandma Song hesitated for a while, and then reached an agreement with the second master with suspicion, left the west courtyard with a heavy heart, and walked in the verandah, the whole person was like a wandering spirit, and the steps were a little scary.

She just walked out of the courtyard door of the second room with her front feet, and the second lady walked out of the inner hall with a black face, glared at the second master and complained: "Master, the Lu family is powerful and powerful, and it is a big backer who is alive and well, if you don't fight for your own son, forget it, and help other people's sons, are you confused!" ”

"A woman's opinion." The second old man crossed Erlang's legs and tasted tea in a leisurely manner.

The second lady was not happy, put her hands on her waist, and immediately retorted: "How can I think of a woman, the Lu family is an official in Beijing, if our Rongyun can climb such a Mount Tai, the future will definitely be limitless, and the big house is already more powerful than us." Let them climb this good family business again, will there still be a foothold for our second room in the future! ”

In the eyes of the second lady, the second master's behavior of agreeing to Grandma Song's request is completely increasing the arrogance of others and destroying his own prestige, which is simply stupid!

The second old man leaned and nested in the chair in a 'collapsed' shape. Squinted at the angry second lady. said unhurriedly: "Saying that you have short knowledge, I really didn't wronged you at all." As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger. Even a character like our father was forced to resign and return to his hometown before he was forced to resign at the slightest disturbance, I have a few pounds and taels myself, I know very well. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and he is happy. I'm not as ambitious as my eldest brother, and I'm bent on returning to the court. ”

The second lady was suspicious, carefully pondering the meaning of the second master's words.

It's really like that, the second master himself doesn't have much ability. can only barely be regarded as mediocre and incompetent, and has been a parent official for many years, although he has not been able to benefit the local people. But at least there are no fish and meat villagers, so it can only be said that there is no merit and no fault.

The second master looked confused. is also self-aware, and he doesn't have any big ambitions, knowing that he is not suitable for the court, and it is actually not bad to be an idle petty official.

"Big brother, he is full of ambition and wants to return to the capital, why don't I look forward to him returning to Beijing as soon as possible? When he leaves, this property is not all mine! To be a local emperor in this locality, you can't eat and wear enough, and you don't know how easy your life is, so why bother to go to the capital to drip that deep water. ”

The second lady thought about it, but was persuaded by the second master, so she no longer objected to this matter, but asked with some concern: "Master, Rong Zhao's stubborn temperament is like something, if you are hard-hearted, the nine cows are afraid that they will not be able to pull it back, what can you do?" ”

"Leave that alone." The second old man said mysteriously.

In the afternoon of the same day, the second master went to Zhao Rongzhao's courtyard alone, and after sending all the people in the house out, he squatted at the door and said to the crack in the door: "Rongzhao, open the door to the second uncle, the second uncle has something to say to you." ”

After waiting for half a sound, the second master's legs were numb, and there was no response in the house.

"This stubborn boy! Ouch! The second old man stood up with his waist propped up, leaned on the door frame, and shouted loudly into the house: "Rong Zhao, if you don't open the door again, the second uncle will leave, I sue you, don't regret it when I leave, I came here today, I came to tell you about Liu Zijin, she ......."

Before he finished speaking, the door that no one would open was suddenly opened from the inside, and the second master who was propped up on the door with one hand screamed, and plunged into the house, colliding with Zhao Rongzhao......

"You kid don't say a word when you open the door! I've killed your second uncle! The second old man rubbed his forehead and complained.

Zhao Rongzhao was in no mood to pay attention to him, his hands pressed on the shoulders of the second master, and asked urgently: "Zijin, what's wrong with her?" ”

The second master pushed him away, stretched out his hand and dusted his placket, and said unhappily: "You kid, I have been calling you for so long, so I refused to open the door when I said it, and when I heard that the woman opened the door!" ”

"Second uncle!" Zhao Rongzhao interrupted angrily and said, "Don't sell Guanzi, tell Zijin what's wrong with her!" ”

"Humph!" The second old man snorted heavily, glanced left and right, and after seeing that there was no one around, he walked straight into the house, sat down at the table, poured himself another cup of tea, and just took a sip, and vomited out all the sounds of 'phew', "What are you kid doing?" The waters are rancid! ”

"Second uncle, I'm not in the mood to tell you this, let's talk about what happened to Zijin!" Zhao Rongzhao was a little annoyed, and his tone of voice was very impatient, looking like he was about to explode.

The second master glared at him, and then whispered: "I have also heard about you, the sister-in-law is indeed too arbitrary, this marriage matter, pay attention to wishful thinking, the sister-in-law forced you like this, it is indeed hers." ”

Zhao Rongzhao frowned and said, "Second uncle, you came here to tell me these words?" As soon as the words fell, the person took two steps forward, grabbed the second master's arm, and pulled him to push him out of the door, "Second uncle, you let me out!" ”

The second old man is not tall, and he is not very strong, compared with his tall nephew Zhao Rongzhao, it is a stark contrast, and he was directly dragged by Zhao Rongzhao to the door, no matter how useless he struggled.

Rong Zhao...... Listen to me first! When the second master saw that he was serious, he didn't sell Guanzi, and said directly: "The second uncle knows that you want to marry Liu Zijin, and the second uncle has a way to help you!" ”

Zhao Rongzhao, who had already twisted the second master to the door, stopped and wondered: "What way?" ”

The second old man sighed, closed the door with his backhand, turned around and sat back at the table, and said in an orderly manner: "You are not uncommon for Lu to marry a girl." My son can't ask for it, but people only fall in love with you, the second uncle thought, if you can promote the marriage between you and Liu Zijin, the girl of the Lu family will inevitably die of your heart, and when your cousin goes to ask for marriage again, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Zhao Rongzhao bit his lip. I thought about it. said with a wry smile: "Second uncle, don't be kidding, how could my father agree to let me marry Zijin." Even if my dad agrees, my mother ...... there."

Grandma Song has always done what she says, and she once said that Liu Zijin wanted to enter the door. Unless it's stepping on her corpse to enter the door, this house. With her, there can't be Liu Zijin!

"Hey~ Don't say it so absolutely." The second old man squinted, looking scheming, and said in a sly manner: "There is no absolute, wait for you and Liu Zijin to marry in a bright and bright church." entered the cave room again, and the raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, how could your mother still not recognize the reason? ”

"Second uncle. Don't be stupid, my mother is here. Zijin can't marry me......" Zhao Rongzhao drooped his head, his tone full of loss and helplessness.

was called stupid by the eldest nephew, and the second master was not happy, so he patted the table and stood up, "How do you talk like this kid?" Since the second uncle can come to you, he must have already thought of a way! ”

Zhao Rongzhao raised his head and looked at the second master with doubts, and a faint hope rose in his eyes.

"I'll tell you, the second uncle is planning so, your father recently prayed for my father in the temple in the field, and your mother must not be convenient to come forward for the Lu family's proposal, when the time comes, I will take the bread for you, you pay a sum of silver, and redeem Liu Zijin, I will find her a decent surname Lu, let people recognize her as a goddaughter, and when she is hired, she will go to the Lu family where she is, and the marriage will be done first, anyway, enter the door with a hijab, your mother will never lift the red hijab in front of the worship hall to see who the bride is. When you enter the cave room, it's a sure thing, even if your mother finds out, it's okay! ”

The second master said it like a river, but Zhao Rongzhao was shocked when he heard it, and asked in disbelief: "Does this really work?" ”

The second old man stroked his beard and asked Zhao Rongzhao: "Then can you have a better way?" ”

Zhao Rongzhao's brows were so entangled that he was about to twist into a strand, pondering the feasibility of this matter.

The second master tried every means to promote him and Liu Zijin in order to win a chance for his son, and from this point of view, the credibility of the second master was greatly improved, Zhao Rongzhao couldn't find a reason to doubt him, and for now, this seems to be the only way to solve the problem.

"Rong Zhao, if it doesn't work, you just give a happy word, if it doesn't work, you will be the second uncle who hasn't been here today." The second old man walked around the house with his hands behind his back, waiting for Zhao Rongzhao to give an answer.

Zhao Rongzhao thought about it for a long time before he hesitated: "Okay, but you have to find a way to let me see Zijin." ”

When the second master heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said busily: "That's for sure!" After speaking, he took two steps forward, stretched out his palm and handed it to Zhao Rongzhao: "You can't let the second uncle give you the money that ransomed Liu Zijin!" ”

"Second uncle, wait a minute." Zhao Rongzhao was overjoyed, completely dispelled his concerns, turned around and trotted back to the house, and after a while, he came out with a small wooden box and handed it to the second master: "Second uncle, this is my savings, you can use it, if it is not enough, you can help me cushion it first, and I will pay you back in the future." ”

The second master took the box, put it down, nodded and smiled: "Okay, the second uncle knows, the silver is not enough for my second uncle to pad you, after all, whether my son can be the Lu family's son-in-law has to rely on your blessing." ”

"Then there is Second Uncle Lao." Zhao Rongzhao made a deep snort at the second master, and sent the person out with a smile.

Walked to the gate of the courtyard, the second master turned around and said: "Okay, don't send it, you take the time to go to your sister-in-law's, and say that you have figured it out and agree to this marriage, your father will not be able to come back in three or five months, remember, you must let your mother come to me to propose marriage, otherwise the second uncle will not be able to help you in this matter." ”

Zhao Rongzhao was full of answers, and after sending the second master away, he went back and ordered someone to boil water and take a bath, which was brand new and cleaned up properly, and went to Grandma Song's side.

Grandma Song paid close attention to her son's every move, so she naturally knew what her son had done in the courtyard, and the second master had just asked someone to send her a message, if Zhao Rongzhao came to beg Grandma Song, everything had to depend on him, but there was one thing, he couldn't let him go to the Lu family in person to propose marriage.

When she heard her son say that she agreed to the marriage, Grandma Song was still a little surprised, and secretly wondered if the second master had brainwashed Zhao Rongzhao, otherwise how could she persuade him.

But the son can agree to this marriage, this is more important than anything else, Grandma Song was afraid that something would happen, so she hurriedly agreed to her son's request to let the second master go to propose marriage instead of him, but remembered the greeting that the second master had called, so she said: "Okay, my mother agrees, and my mother will personally accompany you to the door to propose." ”

"No way!" Zhao Rongzhao panicked, blurted out to refuse in a hurry, leaving no room at all, paused, and explained embarrassedly: "Mother, I mean, you are a woman, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to come forward, so it's better to let the second uncle go more convenient." ”

Grandma Song frowned, rolled her eyes, and said, "Okay, just let your second uncle come forward, you study poetry and books at home, just wait to be the groom's official, my mother is still looking forward to your little Dengke after you can become a big Dengke." ”

Zhao Rongzhao thought about it and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, even if he responded, the mother and son had a happy meal.

The next day, Grandma Song officially went to the West Courtyard and asked the second master to come forward to propose marriage to her son.

The second master was naturally full of promises, and when he sent out all the subordinates, he told Grandma Song about his plan, and Grandma Song was furious when she heard it, and asked with some concern: "Second uncle, you won't put me together, really bring back a flower girl who is a subordinate worker." ”

The second old man sighed and said unhappily: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, you can't believe me, let's just pretend that this hasn't happened, you can find a way to go yourself." ”

Seeing that the second master was annoyed, Grandma Song hurriedly apologized and said: "Second uncle, don't take it to heart, I can't believe you, I can't believe Rong Zhao, his soul has long been hooked away by that fox spirit, in order to marry that fox spirit, everything can be done, I'm afraid that we will both be deceived by him!" ”

The second master nodded, but quite agreed with Grandma Song's words, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you just need to keep an eye on Rong Zhao, you can send someone to follow me when I go to get hired, and the dowry will be carried to Lu Shangshu's house, as for Liu Zijin, I will act like a show in the past, just deceive Rong Zhao, and really hand over the eight-character Geng post to you for safekeeping, you must not let Rong Zhao see it." ”

Grandma Song agreed, and after discussing the details, she returned to the East Courtyard. (To be continued) R580
