Seeing Zhou Shaojin asking her without pretentiousness, Mama Shang smiled happily from the bottom of her heart, and said softly: "The fourth master rushed back early this morning - today is the old man's birthday!" I didn't think that when I came back, the second lady had already gone to Chaoyangmen, and the fourth master gave us things. He also said that there may be a lot of socializing these days, and it will take a few days to see the second lady. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded and said with a smile: "Are you going to Jining to take office?" ”

Mama Shang said with a smile: "Originally, these were supposed to arrive, but on the old lady's birthday, the fourth master took a few days off, and happened to take this opportunity to go to Baoding Mansion." ”

In other words, everyone knows that she is going to marry Cheng Chi.

Zhou Shaojin's face turned crimson.

Shang smiled and said hello to Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin muttered in response and hid in the inner room in a daze.

In the house of Chaoyangmen, the Yuan family, who had sent off the guests, was serving Mrs. Guo to remove her makeup.

Mrs. Guo closed her eyes, and Mama Lu gave her a head and asked the Yuan family: "How are the marriages on the Min family's side prepared?" I don't look like Jiashan is very energetic? ”

When he mentioned this, the Yuan family hated it so much that he said: "It's all Cheng Zhi and Cheng Zheng's two cheap embryos." If it weren't for them, Jiashan wouldn't be like this! ”

In other words, since Shaojin's incident, Jiashan has not eased up.

I still live in Chaoyangmen.

Mrs. Guo didn't want to say more than one sentence to the Yuan family.

She instructed Yuan: "Let Jiashan come over tomorrow, I haven't spoken to him for a few days." ”

The mother-in-law feels sorry for her grandson.

Yuan smiled and responded "yes", and said Cheng Chilai: "...... Have you already decided to take up a post in Jining? Do you want me to talk to my brother? How hard it is to control the river! Go over there and gild and come back, right? The fourth uncle is not young anymore, and he used to be in charge of the family's chores, so he could only help find someone who knew the roots among his relatives. Those who know the character and knowledge of the fourth uncle are not wronged by the fourth uncle. Now that the fourth uncle has an official position, the range of options is larger. ”

Mrs. Guo knew that this was a big dish on the table.

smiled: "Anyway, he is so old, if he is still in a hurry to find him to talk about his relatives at will, then he is really wronged." Let it be? ”

Yuan Shi pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Mother, what do you think of Ah Xuan, the sixth lady of the Fang family?" ”

Mrs. Guo smiled: "Why did you think of Ah Xuan?" Is she fifteen or sixteen this year? It's too young. Shiro is looking for a daughter-in-law, not a daughter-in-law. ”

Yuan smiled: "Mother." Look at what you say. This marries a wife and marries virtue. Character comes first. What's more, he is only a teenager, and he is the first marriage, and the fourth uncle is a talent. Why can't you be worthy of Ah Xuan? According to me, on the contrary, Ah Xuan is a little unworthy of the fourth uncle - there are few girls like Ah Xuan who are born in a family, but it is not nothing. It's just that we know the details of the Fang family best, and the second wife of the Fang family is well-known for her virtuousness. The second master of the Fang family has a low official position, but he has a wide range of friends. In this way, the girlfriends raised by others must be cheerful and lively, and they complement the fourth uncle. The more I think about it, the better I feel! ”

Mrs. Guo let out an "um" and began to think about it seriously.

A hint of joy flashed in Yuan's eyes, knowing that the old lady was a person with great personality. She said that no matter how much she did, it was better for the old lady to think clearly, so she stopped making a sound, took the handkerchief in the little maid's hand and waited for Mrs. Guo to finish her head and serve Mrs. Guo to wipe her hands.

Second Mrs. Wei Qiu's came over to show Mrs. Guo.

Today, Mrs. Guo is on her birthday. She is responsible for storing the cups, bowls, utensils, etc.

Mrs. Guo took the opportunity to ask Qiu: "What kind of daughter-in-law do you think Shiro should marry?" ”

Qiu has always known that his sister-in-law Yuan is strong, and she is not a person who likes to be competitive. What's more, before she came, the Yuan family had already served in her mother-in-law's house, I don't know if there was a conflict between her mother-in-law and sister-in-law?

The fourth uncle is the top of her mother-in-law's heart, she would rather offend her sister-in-law than offend this mother-in-law who treats her very well, she smiled without thinking: "The marriage of the fourth uncle is naturally up to you, how can we who are sisters-in-law have room for beaks." ”

Yuan sneered in his heart.

Her brother-in-law doesn't care about anything, she doesn't say anything, but as long as the old lady opens her mouth, the old lady is a hundred and a thousand right, a thousand and ten thousand good, and she doesn't have a little idea of her own. Usually she is beaten by the old lady, but looking at this, she has no long memory at all.

The old lady asked her, but she was asking the wrong person.

Mrs. Guo didn't know what was wrong today, so she actually smiled and said: "You are a supple person, I'm not afraid that Shiro's daughter-in-law won't get along well with you when she enters the door." ”

Qiu Shiqi said: "The fourth uncle's relatives, your old man already has eyebrows?" ”

"Not yet!" Mrs. Guo smiled, "It's just that I'm thinking that he will get married sooner or later, but I'm afraid that your younger brothers and sisters will be much younger than you." ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly said obediently: "Your vision will not be wrong. When the time comes, we will treat her as a daughter, and we will definitely treat her well. ”

Old Madam Guo nodded with a smile and said, "It's not too early, you've all been busy all day, go and rest!" I'm going to give Shiro something to go to office these days, so I'll leave you alone. You don't have to rush over every day to greet me. ”

Wait for the news to come out, and wait for them to be busy.

The Yuan family and the Qiu family respectfully agreed, and led their respective maids and daughters-in-law to disperse.

Cheng Chi came to see his mother.

Old Madam Guo said excitedly: "How did you get Lord Zhou to agree?" ”

Cheng Chi knew that his mother valued him, and in the future, he would be his mother on the one hand and his father-in-law on the other, and he didn't want to offend either side. hid the fact that he had stood in vain at the gate of the yamen for several days, and only said that Zhou Zhen talked to him about water control: "...... And they're going to take me to the village to have a look. I was worried about my mother's birthday, so I politely refused. Mr. Zhou asked me to set off from the capital as soon as possible, and then help him draw up a charter when I passed by Baoding Mansion, and he tried to promote it in the countryside to see if he could solve the problem of barrenness. When he said this, he couldn't help laughing, "Then before I could talk about the marriage proposal, Lord Zhou took the initiative to say to me, let me act according to the ancient etiquette." I have already asked people to go to the dowry, and I want to finalize the marriage before going to Jining Mansion to take up a post. ”

"Good, good, good." Old Madam Guo squinted her eyes and smiled proudly. The more I look at my son, the more pleasing and pleasing I feel - there is a girl who marries like her son, and a few words make the father-in-law nod, and the dowry is not asked.

She hurriedly told Cheng Chi: "Although Lord Zhou said this, the number of etiquette should be the same. ”

Cheng Chi smiled and replied "yes", and hesitated: "Sister-in-law is a little prejudiced against Shaojin, I am just afraid that when the time comes, the sister-in-law will be unhappy and show Shaojin's face...... In addition, I haven't been there for three or five years. I don't feel at ease that you live alone in Chaoyangmen. Let you live in Xinglin Hutong, I am even more worried. I want to let Shao Jin in early, and you will have someone to talk to after I leave. Relieve boredom. Shaojin has not had a mother to guide her since she was a child, and you may also tell her how to host the feed. ”

Old man Guo was surprised and said, "Aren't you going to take Shaojin to take office?" ”

His mother is waiting to hold her grandson, how dare he say that he is not ready to have sex with Zhou Shaojin?

"She followed me to her post. What do you do? Cheng Chi said strongly, "This matter is settled." Don't persuade me. Other people's homes don't know what it's like. I can't be a daughter-in-law in my house, and my mother-in-law will stand aside. ”

It's really a thousand wears, and I don't wear sycophants.

Old Madam Guo didn't know how happy she was, and said, "Then matchmaker, have you decided who to invite?" ”

"I'm going to invite Lord Song and Master Zhang." Cheng Chi said, "One is the person who recommended me. One is the top of my head. They are teachers and students again, and they couldn't be better. ”

Mrs. Guo also agreed, and the two discussed it for half the night. Early the next morning, Mrs. Guo went to Song's house.

Although Mrs. Song was very surprised when she knew what she meant, she thought about the appearance of Zhou Shaojin and Cheng Chi. I also felt that it was a match made in heaven, and said: "It's a pity that my mother-in-law is gone, and I only have one son under my knees, otherwise I would have taken the initiative to ask Ying to be a blessed person for your family." ”

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "I don't want to disturb you, but your Lord Song has the grace of our family Shilang, and the fourth master of our family said that he is married, and he must ask Lord Song to be a matchmaker no matter what." You can help me when the time comes. We are divided into three brothers. He added, "If it weren't for the division, I wouldn't have thought of letting Shaojin be my daughter-in-law." Now it's a blessing in disguise. ”

Mrs. Song comforted Mrs. Guo for a long time, and left Mrs. Guo at home for lunch, and then personally sent Mrs. Guo away.

In the evening, Song Jingran came back to listen to Mrs. Song and happily agreed.

Not to mention the current relationship between the two, Cheng Chi's knowledge is also worthy of his respect.

Song Jingran and Zhang Huishun took over the matchmaker's errand, and Cheng Shao was also very happy, and said to Cheng Chi: "You have to have a few more." Whether it's a boy or a girl, there are a few more children in the family, and it's more lively! ”

Cheng Chi thought of the silence in the courtyard when he came, so he smiled and said, "If we have two boys, let's pass one to Brother Fen Cong." ”

Cheng Shao shook his head and said gloomily: "If you have the heart, you will succeed a grandson to Brother Xun'er, right?" I can't let him be a lonely ghost! ”

Cheng Chi looked at his uncle with white temples, and for the first time he had a sour feeling.

Or is it because I'm about to get married, and my heart has become softer, right?

But by the time he has a grandson, the second uncle is probably long gone, so what's the point?

Cheng Chi thought for a while and said, "Second uncle, why don't you take a child from the good hall and come back to raise it?" ”

Cheng Shao was stunned.

Cheng Chi said in a deep voice: "That year, I went to Huai'an to get salt, and encountered the Yongding River bursting the embankment, and outside Huai'an City, it was either a child who lost his parents or a parent who lost his child, I was thinking, in the face of such suffering, the inheritance of the family is so fragile, is the inheritance of the family more important or the life is more important?" ”

It's like asking who is more important, both of which are more important, and it's an unsolvable topic.

Cheng Shao smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that family property is more important, right?" ”

Cheng Chi laughed.

Cheng Shao said: "Let's talk about this matter when you become a parent, right?" I'm old, and even if the child is brought back, I don't have the energy to support it. ”

But in the end, it was heart-moving.

Cheng Chi smiled and took a sip of tea.
