154. Courtship

After only one bite, Zimo put the fried fish skin back and pouted, "It's still delicious made by the fifth aunt." ”

"Obviously, the taste is the same." Zixuan looked at Zimo and saw through his careful thoughts at a glance, "I think you want to go to the countryside again, right?" ”

"That's grandma's house." Zimo corrected.

Isn't it the countryside? Zixuan didn't argue anymore and asked Zimo to hurry up and read.

"I'm going to school the day after tomorrow, what's the matter if I read less for a day or two?" Zimo stood up with his hands behind his back and walked around the room, "My mother doesn't know what she's doing, and she doesn't care about things in the shop, and she can't be seen all day long." And Dad, I haven't seen you for months, why has it been delayed for so long? I saw him come back with something, and I didn't know where the others were. ”

The brothers stay together every day, but Zixuan has the feeling that Zimo has grown up all of a sudden, and he knows that he cares about people.

"Adults have adult affairs, we just need to obediently not cause trouble to them." Zixuan asked, "Have you let the little guy clean up everything you want to use?" ”

"It's not the first time I've gone to school, and it's too late to clean up before leaving." Zimo waved his hand, but he hadn't started to clean up yet.

It's just a six-year-old child, where did you learn the tone of these grown-ups? Zixuan shook his head and focused on the book again.

"Let's go see grandpa, I haven't been with him for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year." Zimo couldn't sit still, so he found a place to go by himself.

"Grandpa must be busy right now." Zixuan hesitated: "Let's go and ask Grandpa Du Han first." ”

When the two children heard from Du Han's mouth that Du Wen might not be convenient to see them now, the two children were still a little sad. It feels like the adults in the family are busy. They were completely ignored as well.

"Grandpa Han, you look so happy!" Little children are sensitive.

"That's because you can't put an uncle from marrying." Du Han laughed. After his observation in the past few days, he felt that Cuibei was still a good candidate for a daughter-in-law, he had just communicated with Du Wen, and the other party also agreed, but when it came to emotion, it was inevitable to sigh about the impermanence of life. He came out of the Evergreen Hall, picked up, and was going to Du Shi to formally ask for his son's marriage.

"It's wearing red clothes. Riding a tall horse. Will you bring the bride to live in our house? Zimo said excitedly: "When is it?" ”

"Grandpa Han doesn't know yet, if it is the fastest, it will have to be spring next year." Eliminate is his only son, and privately setting him the status of a slave has made Du Han feel very sorry, so he is naturally in the marriage of Exclusion. There can be no sloppiness. The normal process of getting married. It is not a single step that cannot be missed.

Zimo asked many questions in a row: "Who is the bride?" Is it pretty? Do I know each other? "Little children about the unknown. Curious.

There is only one thing in the eight characters, and if you don't draw it down, you will never be able to combine it, and Du Han didn't say the name of Cuibei. I was already talking quickly in excitement just now. If the family affair does not work out in the end, others will say that Du Shi deliberately made things difficult. So Du Han smiled, "I'll know soon." ”

"Grandpa Han is so stingy, he doesn't tell us this kind of thing." After Du Han left, Zimo wrinkled his nose and said to Zixuan.

If you weren't six, but sixteen, Duhan might sue you on the spot. The child can't hide it, if he accidentally goes out, and in the end it doesn't work out, where should the woman's face go? Duhan could have done it safest.

"Come back, it's been so long, it's time to go back." Zixuan took the lead. provoked Zimo to stick out his tongue behind his back, and then stepped up to follow.

"Miss, Mr. Duhan is asking to see you outside."

"Hmm." Du Shi looked up from the embroidery work, and really couldn't figure out what her father's personal butler and brother would have to see her. She put down the embroidery shed, rubbed her eyes, and pinched her shoulders again, "Let him wait in the side hall, I'll go later." ”

Cui Bei said yes, and first cleaned up the mess that Du Shi had spread out before withdrawing.

"Humber, it's been a long time since I've been to my Dongfang Courtyard, how are you doing?" As soon as he entered the door, Du Shi asked with a smile. She has clear grievances, Du Han treated her well when she was a child, and she would not fail to give the other party a few thin faces.

"Thank you for your concern." Du Han hurriedly got up and bowed back, "The old man is still healthy, but he is old, and it is inevitable that he will be a little inadequate." ”

Du Shi sat on the top, waved his hand to let Du Han sit down, and said, "When you are old, it's all like this. Putting an end to my brother is already an adult, and he can stand alone. "All in all, she is still one of her childhood playmates. Du Shi thought for a while, "Putting an end to my brother's age is not too young, hasn't Han Bo considered giving him a family affair?" ”

"If I'm not in a hurry, he has to look at it." Du Han was still thinking about how to shift the topic to this, and Du Shi quickly mentioned this stubble, and he hurriedly said: "The old slave came here today to ask Miss for something. ”

"It's all a family, what do you want from it." Du Shi smiled: "Humber opened his mouth, and his niece will definitely help if she can." ”

"Then the old slave will say it directly." Du Han is also anxious, since he feels that Cuibei is good after checking it, he should settle this family matter as soon as possible, so that they feel that it is okay to get married as soon as possible, but it is a matter of his heart for many years.

Du Shi bowed his head and reached out to pick up the teacup.

"Jue'er fell in love with the Cuibei girl next to the eldest lady, and the old slave wanted to ask for a favor, ask the eldest lady to cut her love, and point the Cuibei girl to my family."

There was a slight pause in Du Shi's action of drinking tea, but he still slowly finished drinking the tea, and then looked at Du Han with a smile, "Brother Fang is really eye-catching, and he picked the most powerful girl around me at once." ”

What Du Han is most afraid of is to make the Du clan suspicious, after all, everyone sees the identity and status of Cuibei, and they are from the old man's faction, so it can't help but make people suspect that they are taking the opportunity to weaken the Du clan's power. After all, it is not a matter of time to cultivate a competent assistant.

"If the young lady is reluctant, she will act as if the old slave never said this." Du Han struggled to spit out these words.

"Why?" Du Shi was curious, "Doesn't Brother Eliminate like Cuibei very much?" Otherwise, how could you come to me? I'm a smart girl, and I'm definitely a good wife, so I shouldn't be disliked. ”

"The happiness of the eldest child is important, but the stability of the eldest lady and the Du family is more important, and the old slave is unwilling to let the eldest lady be in a dilemma."

"It's not going to be embarrassing, it's just a matter of taking some time to cultivate one again." Du Shi was sincere, "I'm curious, when did my brother notice Cuibei?" ”

This is a question full of traps, if they liked it before they returned to Du Mansion, they would inevitably be suspected of hooking up a long time ago, and maybe they would wonder if Cuibei had ventilated the news and passed the news of their family to Du Wen, so there was a matter of their group rushing in the rain. If you tell the truth, then when Du Shi was not at home, he fell in love with Cuibei, and he fell into a bit of a trap and took advantage of the danger.

"When the young man sees the right eye, the old slave doesn't know, and he never asks. As long as it solves the lifelong event of the Jeor, the old slave is happy. However, Du Han changed the topic and stood up: "The old slave can guarantee that from the past to the present, the old slave's loyalty has not changed. ”

"Oh?" Du Shi put down the teacup, looked at Du Han fixedly, and asked sharply: "I want to know whether Du Bo's loyalty is to me, my father or the Du family?" ”

Du Han hesitated for a moment, then suddenly became firm, and spit out clearly: "It's the Du family." ”

"Very well, I will remember your words today." Dushi said.

Coming out of Dongfang Courtyard, as soon as the wind blew, Du Han was shocked to realize that he was in a cold sweat.

In the end, it is the master's biological daughter, the tiger father has no dog girl, and even the momentum of his speech is comparable to that of the old man when he was young.

He thought about it carefully, and there was nothing missing, so he returned to the Evergreen Hall. He has already done what he should do, whether he succeeds or not, it depends on whether the eldest lady nods and releases people.

"Cuibei, how old are you this year?" Toshi sat at the round table, with one hand on the table, looking out the window.

"The slave will be eighteen in October this year."

"Eighteen." Du Shi was in a trance for a while, as if she had been married when she was eighteen years old, and time passed really fast.

"It's really young." She said.

Cuibei put a bowl of stewed ginseng chicken soup, brought it to Du Shi with both hands, and said with a smile: "I'm not young anymore." In the countryside, people of my age are afraid that children can make soy sauce. ”

"That's right, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she has to embark on the road of getting married and having children." Du Shi put the bowl on the table, "Do you have someone you like?" ”

"Miss makes fun of me, how can a slave or maid like anyone?" Cuibei's face was dyed with two lumps of red. The girl Hanchun, even if she has an ordinary appearance, is also smeared with two points of beauty.

Du Shi shook his head, "Which teenager is not affectionate, and which girl is not pregnant with spring?" I don't believe that among so many people in our Du Mansion, you don't have one or two people who can look at it. The woman's vision should not be too high."

Look, she was a subordinate for a while, and in the eyes of her master, she was a subordinate all her life, even if she was married, she could only find a housekeeper. Why can't she catch up and live better than anyone else?

"Why, don't you even like to put an end to it?" Seeing that she had said so much, Cuibei didn't react, Du Shi couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she guessed wrong, really put an end to wishful thinking?

"Ah, how can the slave dislike the big brother" Cuibei, who woke up from his inner activities, realized what Du Shi said, and subconsciously interfaced.

Du Shi glanced at Cuibei meaningfully, "Today, Han Bo personally asked for marriage, originally I thought it was flowing water, and the falling flowers were unintentional, it seems that it is Lang Qing's concubine." In that case, how can I object? ”

Cuibei felt that there should be something in Du's eyes that she had missed, but Du's speed was extremely fast, and she didn't catch it. was hit by a sudden surprise, and she was dizzy and didn't see the depth in Du's eyes. (To be continued......)
