Chapter 52: Interception
Xie Yinfeng shyly fiddled with his clothes and said in a low voice: "Mother, since my daughter has had this dream, I think she has some fate with him." If it is based on family background alone, what if you pick the wrong one? According to her daughter's wishes, it is better to throw a hydrangea to decide. When the time comes, the daughter throws it away, and she has her own destiny. ”
Second Mrs. Xie shook her head and said, "Nonsense! If you hit someone who asks for food, you will marry too? ”
Xie Yinfeng said: "Looking at him like that, it doesn't look like he is asking for food." ”
Second Mrs. Xie said: "If you don't happen to make a mistake, won't you regret it!" ”
Xie Yinfeng said: "What my mother said is true." I'm not just throwing it away. Knowing that he can draw drawings, he must not be an ordinary person. My mother went to tell my father that when the time comes, we will post and only invite familiar business teenagers to come. Choose one of them, and even if you can't fulfill your dreams, you won't go on a business trip. Wouldn't it be both! ”
Second Mrs. Xie heard that what she said made sense, but she couldn't make up her mind for a while.
Because he said: "This matter is not in a hurry, I will discuss it with your father again." ”
Xie Yinfeng said obediently: "One qiē is in charge of my father's mother." ”
Second Mrs. Xie nodded with satisfaction and asked her to retreat.
The next day, she found a vacancy, asked the second master Xie to come, and retired the subordinates, and then told Xie Yinfeng's dream and Jianyi.
Who knew that Second Master Xie praised him when he heard it, and said, "This is a good way." Both horizontal and vertical are chosen by those people's families, and there is no big mistake. If it is really the will of God, I responded to the dream of Yin Feng and picked a good son-in-law, wouldn't it be the creation of my Xie family! ”
Second Mrs. Xie was also happy and said, "That's it." I think that Yin Feng has such a dream, and the son-in-law must have some origins. We have to be cautious, so as not to pick the wrong one, and pick an embroidered pillow back. Who do you see as the right person to post? ”
Second Master Xie said: "Since it is to throw hydrangeas, of course there are more people." ”
The husband and wife discussed and drew up a list according to their family history.
That night, Xie Yinfeng found out about this and secretly rejoiced.
Because he remembered Li Hongjuo's words, he specially reminded his mother: "Mother, since it is based on the will of heaven, don't pay too much attention to your family background." If there is someone with a slightly worse family background, give him a chance, maybe it will give me a chance to thank the family. -- No one is born rich, as long as he has the ability, he is afraid that he will not be able to rise to the top. ”
Second Mrs. Xie nodded and said, "My son is reasonable. ”
So he discussed Xie Er and expanded the range of choices.
In this way, those second- and third-rate merchants are also included.
In the hot summer, the Xie family of the brocade family released a message: On the eve of the brocade conference on June 28, in the Xie family courtyard of Xinghua Lane, Miss Xie Er will throw hydrangeas to choose a husband. The candidates are the children of unmarried merchants, aged between 16 and 20. At that time, the teenagers entered with the invitation of the Xie family.
When the news came out, the Jin businessmen who wanted to marry the Xie family rushed to Xiazhao with the school-age teenagers in the family.
※
Jiang Zhuzhai and Jiang Minghui also knew the news.
However, he didn't react much.
Also, what does this matter have to do with him?
He was thinking about being dumb.
These days, as the date of the brocade conference approaches, brocade merchants, cloth merchants, porcelain merchants, jade merchants, purple sand merchants, maritime merchants, etc. are all flocking to the sunset, and the flow of people in the city is surging and unprecedentedly prosperous.
The prosperity did not make him addicted, but made him feel lonely and melancholy.
It was as if he had been excluded from this billowing red dust, unable to blend in.
This qiē is all because of the lack of that person around him - dumb!
He couldn't stay up any longer, and he was bent on seeing her.
The brocade conference is a grand event of the textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River.
Dumb is so good at brocade, how can you not come and see it!
This reason is very grandiose, and Jiang Minghui doesn't think it's an excuse at all.
In fact, he was already lovesick, and nothing could stop him.
It was something that couldn't be solved before, and he also thought of a way to deal with it: "I went to Uncle Guo and said that my mother is very stubborn, and she doesn't understand the rules of business. When I found an opportunity, I slowly persuaded my mother to solve this matter happily, and it was not called dumb and wronged. I'll be more careful, Uncle Guo is a knowledgeable person, and when he sees my sincerity, he will definitely support me. ”
The more he thought about it, the more appropriate it became, and he wondered why he was so stupid that he hadn't thought of it before.
It can be seen that love will make a person lose his mind, and it will also make people anxious.
With a plan in mind, he prepared to take time to go to Green Bay Village.
However, Jiang Zhuzhai's business is extremely hot, and there are many customers all day long.
Jiang Lao Er's speech is clumsy, and he sells more and less than one thing, and he is not good at dealing with those customers who are curious about bamboo silk paintings--the elegant things also make him vulgar. At this time, it is obviously not a good idea to let him preside over the store, and if he is not careful, he will smash the reputation he has worked so hard to build.
Jiang Minghui hesitated again and again, thinking that he would leave for two days, and there would be no accident.
Just as he had made up his mind, Xie Yinfeng sent Jinping to find him.
Jinping brought a few paintings and asked him to make them as they were, and then weave bamboo silk paintings to make four screens, "The girl said that as long as the goods were delivered before June 28, it would be done." ”
To design the artwork, this time is a bit rushed, where can he walk away.
If someone else is just that, it's not a matter to push it back.
Xie Yinfeng is his old customer, he has always taken care of his business, and he is about to throw hydrangeas to recruit his husband, this screen may be a dowry to be made, how can he refuse at this juncture?
In desperation, he wrote a letter to Qingdu, prepared snacks, tea and other gifts, and handed them to the second brother who went back to urge the goods to take to Green Bay Village. There is a delicate jewelry box in the gift bag, which contains a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, which he specially went to Zhenbaozhai a few days ago to choose for Qingdu. He spent three hundred taels of silver, and for this he embezzled one hundred taels from the public account.
Jiang Lao Er agreed.
After going back, he was immediately asked by Aunt Jiang.
She intercepted the letter and the things, and did not allow her son to sue others.
"I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to dry the Guo family, otherwise when the dumb enters the door, they will use this to pinch your brother. It's not good for a man's family to be held by his daughter-in-law. Can't get used to her. I'll draw a picture, and I'll drag it like anything. I don't want to think about who she will live on in the future. It's been months, and not a single painting has been delivered. Isn't that a trick? ”
The more she talked, the more angry she became, the more she felt that the Guo family's sins were unforgivable.
Jiang Lao Er thought of his younger brother's lost soul and was a little distressed.
At first, he didn't know that his younger brother was to be dumb, but as the days went by, and Jiang Minghui sometimes spoke upside down, and even called him "dumb" in his sleep, he understood his younger brother's thoughts.
At this time, after listening to the old lady's words, I felt that it was not unreasonable.
He is an honest person, admits death, and thinks that his daughter-in-law should be a man.
At that moment, it was up to the old lady to take charge of Jiang Minghui's letter and things.
Aunt Jiang proudly put away the snacks, tea and other things, walked into her room with the letter and jewelry boxes, carefully hid them at the bottom of the box behind the bed, and covered them with a stack of clothes.
Hiding was about to close the box, when his hand suddenly stopped.
Because she thought: Then the letter is enough, the words recognize her, but she does not recognize the words.
What is in the jewelry box?
