Chapter 8: The Wicked Girl Proposes Marriage (1)
Zhen Hanxiao is already old, and he has long reached the age of getting married, but he has been busy making money to support his family all these years, and he is in charge of several shops by himself, so he has no heart to think about his marriage.
In addition, the elders and younger brothers in the family often let him worry about it, and no one mentioned his marriage, so it was delayed.
Now that his second brother is on good terms with the young lady of the county Cheng family, and he has made a private agreement for life, Mrs. Zhen doesn't want the second child to miss such a good girl, so she forces the eldest to get married as soon as possible.
looked for a matchmaker, but it was Wednesday Niang from Aoyagi Alley.
Qingliu Alley is just an ordinary alley in Songjiang City, and that Wednesday Niang was interested in Zhen Hanxiao a few years ago, but she is already thirty-nine years old this year, and she will be forty next year, and she has a daughter in the family, who is already fourteen, and she will be able to marry in another year.
This aunt still wants to marry a young man at her age...... I don't want to think that there are already five husbands in the family, and the youngest is not yet twenty years old.
Although Wednesday Niang said that it doesn't matter if the hiring is qualified, this family business is obviously unreliable, no wonder the boss of the Zhen family wants to make trouble.
Lou Zheng pursed his lips, feeling that Mrs. Zhen and her husband are both long-term and son-in-law, but they want the eldest to sacrifice for the second child, and find such a family for Zhen Hanxiao, I'm afraid it's all for the sake of "hiring doesn't matter".
The Zhen family's family business is Zhen Hanxiao's hard work and raised a family, and now the second child wants to marry a wife, and she is the young lady of the county Cheng family, I am afraid that she will have to pay a lot of shops and farm properties, where do these come from, and they must not be deducted from the boss.
Lou Zheng thought if she was the boss of the Zhen family. She's going to make a big fuss!
It is estimated that Zhen Hanxiao also did this, otherwise Mrs. Zhen would not have been angry and shocked.
The biological mother is forced by her life, no wonder Zhen Hanxiao is so haggard and tired now.
Although she sympathized with him, all of this had nothing to do with Lou Zheng, and she could only sigh a few more sighs for Zhen Hanxiao.
Tian Qi saw her staring at the blue and white teacup in front of her, and stretched out his hand in front of Lou Zheng and shook it, "Ah Zheng, what do you want?" I've called you several times. ”
Lou Zheng came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Tian Qi, "It's okay." I think of my home. ”
Tian Qiyi was stunned. I heard that Lou Zheng said that Lou Zheng came to Songjiang City to work hard alone at a young age, and his situation at home must be no better than that of the Zhen family's boss, and he was sad about Lou Zheng.
Tian Qi hurriedly shut up and sat quietly on the side to drink tea with Lou Zheng.
Wang Xun didn't know what to do when he was called by the shopkeeper. He didn't come back after a quarter of an hour. There are only Dr. Xie and Shopkeeper Liu in the medical hall now. Lou Zheng was worried that there might be many patients in the afternoon. They had to hurry back, but just as they wanted to leave with the tea money, they saw a carriage stop at the door. A woman and two men stepped out of the carriage.
The woman was dressed in a peach-pink dress, and she looked no more than twenty years old, followed by two young men who were both outstanding.
Someone in the Wanjing Tea House immediately exhaled in a low voice, "Miss Zheng! ”
Although this Miss Zheng does not have a good reputation in Songjiang City, she is indeed a woman, and she is still a delicate woman, which makes the men who drink tea in the teahouse, especially the men who have not yet married, look a little stunned.
In the Great Song Dynasty, women almost never go out, even if they go out, they are accompanied by their husbands, and they are okay in the capital, and there are still a few women scattered on the street, but in such a small city as Songjiang, some men can't see a woman for half a year......
Miss Zheng entered the teahouse and earned a vote of obsessive gaze, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, her eyes looked around in the lobby of the teahouse, and finally fell on the shopkeeper who hurriedly came out of the backyard, as if she enjoyed the feeling of being sought after by everyone.
"Miss Zheng, why are you here?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Miss Zheng glanced at the somewhat obese shopkeeper of Wanjing Teahouse out of the corner of her eye, with disdain in her eyes.
"Tell your host to come out, and I have something to say to him."
The shopkeeper's face stiffened, and Shi Li apologized, "Miss Zheng, Xiuning pineapple has recently entered the teahouse, I asked the guy to bring you a pot, you can rest in the teahouse, as for my owner, he is not here at this time." ”
Miss Zheng hugged her arms and snorted coldly, "Don't pretend to Miss Ben, Xiao Dashao came to the teahouse early this morning, and he hasn't gone out until now, shopkeeper, are you stupid to me!" ”
The smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared instantly, and he stared at Miss Zheng with a frown.
The man behind him stepped forward to block in front of Miss Zheng, pushed the shopkeeper hard, and said coolly: "Please don't offend my wife." ”
The shopkeeper's round face instantly turned red with anger, but when he thought of the law of the Great Song Dynasty, he could only swallow his anger in his stomach.
In the Great Song Dynasty, there was a book specially tailored for men, called "Male Virtue".
The whole book is about how men need to take care of their frail wives, and warns men not to hurt women at will.
Even after marriage, if a woman is dissatisfied with her husband, she can unilaterally propose and divorce.
If a man harms a woman at will, as long as he stabs the government, he will be fined at least five taels of silver, and if there is a serious case of a man raping a woman, no matter what the reason, the man will be punished by the palace. As for peeping women, etc., how to deal with them, the law is even clearer and extremely detailed.
The law of the Great Song Dynasty is so biased towards women, it is also a helpless move, who makes women scarce and noble, although this protects the rights of most weak women, but also nourishes some evil women.
They threaten men with the law at every turn, and they are more hateful than most men in their efforts to make money.
This Miss Zheng is a female tyrant in Songjiang City.
It is precisely because of her notoriety that the shopkeeper of Wanjing Tea House is so sorry for her.
Lou Zheng sat at the table in the corner of the lobby, and Tian Qi explained the situation in front of her to her.
Lou Zheng was extremely surprised, she came to this world, and only came into contact with two women, but they were all strange.
Do normal women never go out?
Miss Zheng, who was standing in the lobby of the teahouse, pushed the shopkeeper away by her husband who was following her, and was about to step to the private room on the second floor.
Before Miss Zheng could reach the staircase, steady footsteps sounded on the wooden staircase of Wanjing Teahouse.
Miss Cheng's eyes lit up and she looked urgently towards the stairs.
Soon a tall, slender young man came out of the stairs.
Lou Zheng's gaze at this time also fell motionlessly on the long man's body, although from their point of view, Xiao Dashao was facing away from them, but Lou Zheng still recognized that person was Xiao Zhe she was looking for at a glance!
He just wore a moon-white robe embroidered with dark bamboo patterns, a brown satin cloak on the outside, and his black hair was tied up with a hosta. (To be continued......)
