Cao Ying played the piano intently, not paying attention to what the Xu Zheng brothers and sisters were whispering.

"Sister Cao is outstanding in learning, Lan Xin is intelligent, gentle and lovely, if the eldest brother really likes her, he has to plan for marriage earlier. Don't let anyone else get ahead of you. ”

Xu Jinyu quickly adjusted her mood and said in a low voice: "I asked Sister Cao before, Lord Cao and Mrs. Cao have already started to take care of her family affairs. ”

With the Cao family's family background and Cao Ying's talent, he doesn't have to worry about finding a good son-in-law. Since Xu Zheng likes Cao Ying, he has to propose marriage earlier.

Xu Zheng heard this, but hesitated slightly.

Xu Jinyu saw Xu Zheng's concerns at a glance: "Big brother, are you worried that the Cao family will not agree to this family business?" ”

Xu Zheng nodded, his expression a little gloomy.

In terms of talent, appearance, and temperament, he does not lose to anyone. The Xu family's family background is quite far from the Cao family, how could the Cao family agree to come to the door to propose?

"If you don't give it a try, you won't know if you can't do it." Xu Jinyu is quite optimistic: "Lord Cao and Mrs. Cao both feel sorry for their daughters, and they may not mind the difference between their families." As long as Sister Cao likes you, they may agree. ”

Xu Zheng was silent, but his expression was a little moved.

Xu Jinyu chuckled again: "Since you have this intention, the rest will be handed over to my mother and me." After today, I will discuss with my mother about going to Cao's house to propose marriage."

As he spoke, the sound of the piano stopped.

Xu Jinyu immediately stopped talking.

Cao Ying got up with a smile and said half-jokingly: "I played the piano so hard, and the two of you didn't listen attentively." It's a bit excessive. ”

Xu Jinyu smiled playfully: "Sister Cao said this, but she wronged me and my eldest brother." The two of us listened to the pleasant sound of the piano while talking, and we didn't want to lose our minds for a moment! If you don't believe it, ask the eldest brother when he looked at you just now. I didn't even blink an eye. ”

Cao Ying's heart jumped, and he quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Zheng. saw Xu Zheng's embarrassed red face, and a little sweetness in his heart spread rapidly.

Xu Jinyu deliberately created an opportunity for Xu Zheng, and pulled Xu Zheng's sleeve: "Big brother, Sister Cao and I both play the piano for you, you should always repay the favor!" ”

Xu Zheng smiled calmly: "I knew you wouldn't let me go." I'll have someone fetch my bamboo flute. ”

Xu Zheng has studied the piano since childhood. I prefer to play the flute, though. Xu Han specially hired a musician who was good at bamboo flute to teach Xu Zheng to play the flute. Xu Zheng studied for three years, and he was already better than the blue.

Xu Zheng calmed down and put the emerald green bamboo flute to his lips. Playing gently, the beautiful flute sound sounded leisurely.

Cao Ying likes both calligraphy and painting, as well as music and rhythm. Hearing this, he was immediately moved, and his face was amazed: "Xu Gongzi's flute playing skills are really wonderful. ”

Xu Jinyu looked at Cao Ying. He smiled pointedly: "Big brother is not only good at playing the flute. Calligraphy and painting are a must. studious and sincere, I don't know which woman is lucky enough to marry him and be my sister-in-law. ”

Cao Ying's heart was pounding, and she didn't have the courage to look at Xu Jinyu: "Xu Gongzi is talented and characterless, and he will inevitably marry a good woman in the future, and he will be harmonious." ”

I only heard Xu Jinyu sigh softly: "Big brother is fine with everything, but my father died early." Our Xu family is not visible, but I am afraid that it will delay his lifelong events. ”

There was a pause. He also said meaningfully: "Nowadays, the most important thing to marry is to be the right person. Now that the eldest brother has a favorite woman, he wants to come to the door to propose, but he is worried that the woman will dislike her family background and refuse to agree. Sister Cao, in your opinion, should we go to the door to propose? ”

Cao Ying was so smart that she quickly heard the meaning of Xu Jinyu's words. The pretty face was already red.

Xu Jinyu was clearly listening to her mind

However, Xu Jinyu did not make it clear and said it directly, so there was less embarrassment.

Does Xu Zheng really like her? Are you still going to propose? My father admired Xu Zheng very much, and my mother also had a good impression of Xu Zheng. I just don't know if I mind the Xu family's family background

Cao Ying didn't speak, Xu Jinyu didn't ask, stood quietly aside, with a smile on the corner of her lips, but her eyes paid close attention to the changes in Cao Ying's expression.

If Xu Zheng can marry Cao Ying, who is both talented and gentle, it will be a good family matter. Moreover, Lord Cao had a great reputation in the imperial court. If Xu Zheng can be Lord Cao's son-in-law, King Qin will be a little more scruples because of Lord Cao.

No matter how you look at it, this is a rare family business.

Now it depends on Cao Ying's mind and the Cao family's mind

The sound of the flute is melodious and cheerful, like a spring breeze blowing into people's hearts.

Cao Ying bit her lip and said softly: "Sister Xu, since Brother Ling likes the other party, he should come to the door to propose marriage." Only by showing sincerity can it be possible to impress the woman's family. ”

After saying this, Cao Ying lowered her head in shame and never looked up at Xu Zheng again.

Xu Jinyu's eyes lit up, and the hanging heart finally let go.

Cao Ying must have understood the meaning of her words. Such a response is enough to show that Cao Ying is also interested in Xu Zheng.

That being the case, the visit to the door is also a little more certain

When he arrived at Shen Shizheng, Cao Ying said goodbye to Xu Jinyu.

After sending Cao Ying away, Xu Jinyu immediately dragged Xu Zheng to find the Zou family: "Mother, the eldest brother has an important happy event to discuss with you!" ”

Zou let out an interesting "oh": "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Zheng's face turned rare red, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Zou Shi smiled dumbly: "What the hell is going on, I'm embarrassed to say anything." Jin Niang, since you know, just say it! lest your eldest brother be uncomfortable. ”

In fact, even if Xu Zheng didn't say it, Zou also guessed a few points.

Today, Cao Ying came to the door as a guest, Xu Zheng refused to stay in the study, and took the initiative to come out to accompany the guests to open their mouths to say now, nine times out of ten it is related to Cao Ying.

Xu Jinyu glanced at Xu Zheng with a smile: "Then I'll say it on behalf of my eldest brother." The eldest brother is interested in Sister Cao, and wants to discuss with his mother and invite someone to go to Cao's house to propose marriage. ”

Zou was both surprised and delighted, and Huo Di stood up: "Zheng'er, is what Jin Niang said true?" ”

Xu Zheng fixed his mind and nodded: "Yes, I do have this intention." ”

"Great!" Zou was so happy that he didn't know what to say: "I'm finally looking forward to this day." ”

Xu Zheng smiled a little helplessly: "Mother, don't be busy and excited. The proposal was initiated by the man, but it was the woman who agreed or not. Although I have the intention of proposing marriage now, I don't know if the Cao family is willing to nod or not. ”

Zou responded happily: "Anyway, you have to go to propose marriage first to know what the Cao family's reaction is." ”
