Chapter 377: Favorite

The young man is gentle and elegant, tall as a bamboo, and has a beautiful demeanor.

Cheng Chi couldn't help laughing and said, "Your grandfather and I are old friends, and we have similar tempers to each other, so we can have no scruples, and Xiuzhi doesn't have to worry too much." ”

An eighteen-year-old boy, Xie Yuan of the two lakes last year, should not be underestimated.

Xiuzhi is his cousin.

Song Mu smiled apologetically and arched his hand towards Cheng Chi.

The smile is gentle and serious.

Cheng Chi's heart suddenly moved, and he went to Mrs. Song's house.

The old lady Song was leaning on the big kang near the window and took the local ambition to look at, and when she heard the sound, she looked up and saw Cheng Chi, and immediately sat up and said, "Is it the matter of Kaifeng Mansion that has an eyebrow?" ”

The old man was a little crazy.

Cheng Chi smiled: "That's that simple. ”

Old lady Song said dissatisfiedly: "In your hands, I think there must be a way." Then he said, "What are you looking for from me?" ”

Cheng Chi sat on the kang opposite him, put his hand on the kang table and asked him leaning over, "Is your family Xiuzhi engaged?" ”

"Nope!" Old Lady Song said suspiciously, "What are you asking for?" ”

Cheng Chi didn't answer, but continued: "Have you ever had an oral marriage contract with anyone? ”

Old lady Song said: "Do you want to be a matchmaker for our family Xiuzhi?" ”

Cheng Chi smiled: "If it's suitable, why not?" ”

Old lady Song became interested and hurriedly said, "Whose lady is it, and what is her character?" How would you be a matchmaker for that house? ”

Cheng Chi smiled: "You've seen it too." ...... who went to Putuo Mountain with me last time"

Old lady Song suddenly realized, the interest on her face was stronger, and she said: "I remember, that little girl is like a pearl in the morning dew, and it is unforgettable when she sees it." How? Isn't she engaged yet? I remember that the little girl was your niece. Is it the girl in your Cheng family? ”

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "It's the granddaughter of Sifang, surnamed Zhou." The second daughter of Zhou Dacheng, the prefect of Baoding. Since childhood, I grew up with my sister in Jiuru Lane, and was raised in Aunt Guan in the fourth room when I was young, and raised in my mother's house when I was older. Her sister married the eldest son of the Liao family in Zhenjiang, and now lives in the capital with the eldest son of the Liao family, and has just given birth to a Lin'er. She went to Beijing with her stepmother and stepsister to visit her sister. It happened to be in the capital...... It's just that I don't know why your family Xiuzhi is not engaged? ”

The experience has been a bit twists and turns, but it is Cheng Chi's matchmaker, and I have seen it again. The old lady Song also put the words of lack of innocence and the like behind her, and sighed: "You also know that my daughter-in-law here now is to fill the house, and Song Zhi was born to the woman in front of her." At that time, my family was still weak. I picked and picked up the eldest daughter of the Wang Ju family of Jingzhou Mansion for Jing Ran. After the Wang family entered the door, the husband and wife were harmonious. He is a good housekeeper, and he is also very filial to me, and he gave birth to four sons and one daughter, and I have no dissatisfaction. It was only later that Wang contracted the epidemic. He died before he was thirty. I made the decision to remarry Jing Ran's current daughter-in-law.

"The current daughter-in-law is also very good. Gentle temperament, filial piety to elders, love for children. Respect your husband, and the family is happy. On the contrary, it is the Wang family. Since Wang Juren's death, it has gradually declined, and Uncle Wang has done business. But with the help of me and Jing Ran, his business has also done well, and now he is one of the best in the two lakes. In addition to his wife, Uncle Wang also has five or six concubines, but none of his fourteen sons are the seeds of study, so he wants to marry his eldest daughter or second daughter. Although Jing Ran was not satisfied, for the sake of the daughter-in-law in front of her, she reluctantly agreed.

But Xiuzhi was unwilling.

"And I don't want to do it anyway.

"He said that he had seen two cousins, but they were not his belovers.

But the Wang family insisted on marrying a daughter, and nodded to marry Xiuzhi.

"That Huang is a stepmother, afraid of offending Xiuzhi and Jing Ran, standing in the middle like grass on the wall, this matter has been delayed as soon as Xiuzhi's marriage comes and goes, and even the marriage of his three younger brothers has been delayed, and his father is very anxious about this matter. Two days ago, the father and son had a dispute over this matter...... I'm just taking Xiucai to you to walk around and relax. ”

In addition to his wife and concubines, Uncle Wang has a total of fourteen sons...... It can be seen that the door wind is very ordinary.

This is also the reason why Song Jingran did not categorically let his son marry the daughter of the Wang family, right? Otherwise, Song Jingran agreed, and Song Xiuzhi would be useless even if he objected.

The Song family is so complicated, Cheng Chi is a little hesitant.

When Mrs. Song saw it, she had the intention of asking for marriage.

In his opinion, the girls pampered by the big families have not suffered from the hardships of the world, and they are mostly peaceful and generous, and their hearts are pure, especially if they are liked by their elders like this, they will not be bad in terms of character and morality.

People like Huang are like that.

Although she is a stepmother, she is kind and pleasant to her stepsons and truly loves them.

This is the daughter-in-law that their Song family wants.

"I don't think it's as good as this," Old Lady Song thought about it, and immediately had an idea, "I still have to be here with you for two days, and the lady of the Zhou family is not an outsider, so let the two of them meet when the time comes, and if they look at each other well, it will not be too late to mention the marriage contract." Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, if it is a grudge, the two families will not be able to live in peace, and the parents are also concerned in their hearts. Enemies become enemies, but they are not beautiful. ”

Cheng Chi didn't expect Old Lady Song to be so open-minded.

And that Song Xiuzhi is also an assertive ......

He laughed, "It's okay." I called the second girl of the Zhou family to come over and talk in two days, so that the two of them could meet each other...... "After finishing speaking, my heart hurts, even the old lady Song saw his discomfort and said with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

"It's fine." Cheng Chi smiled, "It may be that I bowed my head for a long time just now, and now I am a little dizzy." ”

When Cheng Zichuan and him went up the mountain, they walked like flying, and their body bones have always been able to beat tigers to death?

Old lady Song was also suspicious for a while, thinking that the marriage of the eldest grandson was now imminent, he said a few words to Cheng Zichuan and went to Song Mu.

Song Mu looked at the picture of mountains and rivers, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that life was small.

This is a great person who draws pictures of mountains and rivers.

He kind of understood why his grandfather was obsessed with traveling around!

If he had the chance, he would have walked around.

Song Mu's expression was a little more serious.

When the old lady Song came in and saw the appearance of the eldest grandson, she couldn't help nodding secretly, and sent the people who served in the house to tell Song Mu about the agreement with Cheng Chi.

Song Mu's face turned red. A slight discoloration appeared between the eyebrows.

He heard others call the woman "Miss Second Cousin", could it be that Uncle Cheng Shi told him the woman he met in the banquet room?

Song Mu still remembered that shocking glance.

He had never seen a woman so pretty.

Standing there casually like that, it makes life as warm as a spring breeze.

He couldn't help but stumble: "But by what means, it's up to my grandfather to decide!" ”

Old lady Song was stunned for a moment, thinking that when he and Cheng Chi were discussing water control in the study, a small servant came in and said that someone was coming...... He laughed and squinted his eyes and teased the eldest grandson: "You can't have seen that little girl, have you?" The little girl was very pretty. ”

Song Mu was speechless.

Old lady Song laughed and patted Song Mu on the shoulder. In a comfortable mood, he said, "Don't worry." You have your stepmother's help, and your father is just evenly matched, and I am biased towards you. You're sure to be nine out of ten. After a few days, Zichuan called the little girl to speak, you have to fight for me, so that the girl of the family takes a fancy to you. ”

Song Mu was speechless in shame.

Old lady Song happily went to Cheng Chi and urged him: "Hurry up and take out the regulations for water control." I called the little girl to come and talk. ”

Cheng Chi's chest has been aching all the time.

Does he know why?

But if it is said that the object of the kiss is Song Xiuzhi, it gives her the opportunity to understand Song Xiuzhi. She shouldn't be reluctant to marry Song Xiuzhi, right?

Even if you can't accept it for a while, after a long time, you will gradually settle down, right?

What's more, this Song Xiuzhi is so good in terms of demeanor and knowledge, compared to Cheng Xu. It's more resolute and calm, she should like it.

Cheng Chi took a few deep breaths and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. smiled: "I thought you would be more worried about the marriage of your eldest grandson." ”

Old lady Song definitely didn't say anything about his plans.

The first is that there is no one in this matter, and the other is that Cheng Chi is fame and fortune. You don't necessarily want to be an official.

He had his own way of getting him in.

"Do you know how many people died when Kaifeng Mansion burst last year?" Old lady Song said solemnly, "When I went to Kaifeng Mansion a few days ago, the Yu Sai of Kaifeng Mansion was stricter than before, and this year's temperature is higher than in previous years - this time it is only March, but it is like midsummer, and it is a little hot in jackets. If it encounters continuous heavy rain in summer, Kaifeng Mansion will not break the embankment, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest. You are safe and sound, but what about the people? If the government can count on it, why are there so many black households in Texas? This is a major matter of the country's social affairs, if you don't have this talent, it's just that, but you can't be at peace with this talent. ”

Cheng Chi smiled wryly at him.

Compared with Mrs. Song, he is more like a dying old man.

Cheng Chi smiled: "When I come back from Yushu Hutong, I will take a charter overnight, okay?" ”

Old lady Song reluctantly agreed.

Cheng Chi went to Elm Alley.

Zhou Shaojin waited until her sister fed the official brother and handed it to the nurse to take her away, and then talked about going to Yuqian Hutong: "...... Uncle Chi was busy, and I didn't see anyone, so I had to visit another day. ”

Zhou Chujin didn't care, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Uncle Chi already knows that we have visited him, and when he goes again next time, he won't blame me for this--do your best." ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded, and his feelings were a little low.

Zhou Chujin hurriedly said: "Is there something uncomfortable?" Or did you encounter some grievances? ”

"Nope!" Zhou Shaojin hurriedly cheered up and laughed, and said, "I just feel a little tired." Or maybe it's because of spring sleepiness. ”

"Then you're going back to the house and resting." Zhou Chujin smiled when he heard this, "Don't come over to accompany me at night, Brother Guan has a nurse, and a maid on duty at night, and I have someone to serve here." You've got a good night's sleep. ”

Zhou Shaojin is indeed not in the mood.

She smiled and said "good", and was about to get up to say goodbye, when a little maid came in and said, "Master Cheng Jiachi from Yuqian Hutong is here." ”

Sisters and brothers, make up for yesterday's update.
