Chapter 56 Medium

The Chinese New Year is still a month away. On this day, the weather was exceptionally clear, the cold wind was gone, and the warm sun sprinkled with brilliance, making the pores on the human body seem to be stretched.

The last session of the morning was physical education class, and Shuyun was standing on the playground basking in the sun while watching Chen Ce guide the children to squat.

At this time, Qian Afu hurriedly ran over, panting and told Shuyun, "Dongjia, the sister-in-law of the Hu family is here and is waiting for you in your house, please hurry up and take a look." ”

As soon as Shuyun heard that it was Osmanthus Sister-in-law, she was quite puzzled, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there must be a lot of things to do at home and abroad, how can she have time to come to Zhuangzi to see herself. Something bad happened.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to say hello to Chen Ce, so he hurriedly ran back. When I pushed the door and entered the house, I saw Sister-in-law Osmanthus sitting on the sofa with a smile and a smile, and I didn't know what beautiful things Lu Dao was thinking, and I didn't even notice that Shuyun had entered the house.

Seeing Sister-in-law Osmanthus smirking there, there must be something good. Shuyun had already mentioned that her heart was finally let go.

So he took two deep breaths before slowly pacing towards the sofa, deliberately aggravating the footsteps. This woke up the osmanthus sister-in-law who was smirking in a daze.

Seeing that it was Shuyun who was back, she hurriedly got up, grabbed Shuyun's hand, and said excitedly, "You kid, where are you going, my aunt has a good thing" When she said this, she stopped suddenly. Then he began to rub Shuyun's hands twice, and then sandwiched Shuyun's two white and tender little chubby hands under her armpits, and complained at the same time, "You kid, why don't you take care of yourself." Look at this cold hand, it's time to catch up with the ice cubes. This woman is the most jealous. Unlike men, who are strong and strong, they are prone to illness once they catch a cold. Looks like I really have to find someone to take care of you."

Shuyun saw that Sister-in-law Osmanthus began to bring up the old matter again, so she hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Auntie, I was happy to see you alone there just now, and I didn't even notice that I came in, what's the good thing?" ”

As soon as Shuyun mentioned this, Sister-in-law Osmanthus immediately forgot to teach Shuyun a lesson. With a chubby face, her eyes narrowed with a smile, Shuyun pulled her to the sofa and sat down, and then walked to the tea room. I'm going to pour her a cup of tea. Sister-in-law Osmanthus still didn't follow, and hurriedly said, "Oh, don't be busy, I'm not thirsty, sit down quickly, I'll tell you something." ”

Shuyun smiled and said, "Look at you, it's not bad for a while, you drink saliva first, gasp for breath and then talk." ”

Talking. I had already poured the tea and came back, and handed the teacup to the osmanthus sister-in-law. After watching her take a sip, she asked, "What kind of good thing is it, look at you." ”

Sister-in-law Osmanthus smiled mysteriously and said, "It's really a good thing for you." ”

Shuyun raised her eyebrows suspiciously. It's still about yourself. Without waiting for Shuyun to ask, she listened to Sister-in-law Osmanthus continue, "No, my aunt has taken a fancy to someone." It's not far from my house. There is a scholar named Xu Wenyuan, who is 28 years old this year. Although he is a little older, he is loyal and humble. He is also tall and big, a talent. It is also said that what kind of Hanlin Academy is editing, a serious seven-grade official. It's just a little bad, this person died his wife three years ago, and if he remarries, it can only be regarded as a continuation. But don't worry, the aunt has inquired clearly, and his ex-wife only left a 10-year-old girl, and she will get married in two or three years. can't delay anything, if you marry it, it's a serious grandmother. ”

Sister-in-law Osmanthus didn't care about Shuyun's stunned expression, took a sip of water, and continued, "And this Xu Guanren also takes care of his family very much, and he is also good for his children." Every evening, he would come to our store to buy some snacks to take home for the kids, and oh, he frequented your candy store. Also, his house is also a courtyard in Sanjin, very spacious, and the pick-up is also very good, his parents are in the countryside, supported by his eldest brother and sister-in-law, I heard that it is still a local family. There are not many people living with him in this capital, so he doesn't have to serve his in-laws, and there are not many trivial matters. I heard that he has some other properties, and his family is very wealthy. There are no messy women around, only a concubine who has no children, who usually takes care of her daughter and takes care of the housework. If you think she is an eyesore, before you get married, your aunt will call the shots and tell him that he will sell the concubine. ”

Seeing that Shuyun was still there with her mouth wide open, she was stunned. Sister-in-law Osmanthus sighed, and changed her words, "You, you are so old, it is too difficult to find someone who has never taken a kiss and whose conditions are good." Women, after all, have to get married and have children. This Xu Guanren has good conditions in all aspects, and it is not wrong for the aunt to look at people, and she has been observing him for a long time. Don't be too picky. Back then, you were given a share of the shop, and you didn't want anything. When you get married, your aunt will buy you some dowry, and you will not be worse than those big families. ”

The old lady was busy with Zhang Luo, who contributed money and efforts, and was all bent on planning for herself. How could Shuyun not be moved in her heart and not admit this love. But how can he agree with his current situation, then Lao Kang has to kill himself directly, even if Sister-in-law Osmanthus doesn't think about it. Besides, in modern times, even the object of my mother's introduction was refused, how could he go to ancient times to engage in this kind of arranged marriage. But it's not good to refuse so directly, for fear of hurting the old man's kindness.

It's best to let her back down on her own, so try to ask, "What kind of Xu Guan, do people agree, he doesn't dislike my age?" ”

Sister-in-law Osmanthus smiled with confidence, "How can you disagree, I have let your uncle listen to his tone, when you went to my house, he also saw you twice from afar." Your uncle said that as long as he mentioned you to him, he was still shy, so the big man was still blushing. So, you can rest assured. If you don't listen clearly, how can you come to tell you, how can your aunt do that unforgotten thing. If you agree, let Xu Guanren give the dowry before the year, and wait for the New Year to find an auspicious day, and as soon as the marriage is done, you will live together. ”

Shuyun saw that Sister-in-law Osmanthus was sure of what she said, and even the wedding date was set, she really wanted to cry without tears, "Why is this aunt so resolute, and she doesn't let people live." "It seems that her old man is bent on preserving this coal.

There is no way, it seems that I can only tell her about Kangxi. But now is not a good time to tell her, in this era of the supremacy of imperial power, ordinary people like them, even if they have a little insight and scheming, but after all, their social status is low, and they all regard the emperor as a figure like heaven, or how to call it 'Son of Heaven'. If you know that the child who has grown up has been involved with the emperor in the sky, you don't have to worry about death. Didn't that make her and Uncle Juan even have a good year.

So while listening to Sister-in-law Guihua's introduction, Shuyun quickly thought about how to delay this matter until the next year.

After Sister-in-law Osmanthus finished speaking, Shuyun said with an embarrassed face, "This Xu official is not bad, but Grandpa Xu also said that he would help me be a matchmaker, and it seems that he already has eyebrows." During the Chinese New Year, I will go to his house to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, I will push his head off. Besides, they are all busy with the New Year now, and there are a lot of things inside and out, so don't be busy with Xu Guanren now, and when the New Year is over, everyone is idle, let's take a good look at it. Don't be in a hurry. ”

Sister-in-law Osmanthus pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying that Old Man Xu is also helping to find a candidate for you?" ”

Seeing Shuyun nodded in acknowledgement. Sister-in-law Osmanthus said again: "The person introduced by the old man must not be a hundred times stronger than me, a native old woman." Otherwise, let's wait for the old man to choose a good person and see how it goes, if it's good, I'll push this Xu Guanren, and I didn't tell him right anyway. ”

Shuyun smiled and put her arm on the arm of Sister-in-law Osmanthus and said, "What kind of old woman are you, you are now an authentic rich man, and there are a few people in Beijing who don't know how to do it." I heard that the reputation of Hu Ji Dim Sum has even spread to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. That's famous. Let's talk about Brother Hu Qiu and her sister-in-law, Sister Hu Fang and her brother-in-law, and those children. All of them are filial and obedient. The last is your little Shuyun, look how well-behaved. You and Uncle are waiting to enjoy the blessings! ”

Shuyun deliberately coaxed the words, and listened to the osmanthus sister-in-law laughing. Nodding Shuyun's head, he said, "You, you, a child who was so calm and well-behaved when he was a child, how can he be so big, and he has learned to flamboyant." That aunt and your uncle are waiting for your help. ”

"If you're going to be right, you can start now. It just so happens that there are abalone and bird's nest in the kitchen that I started stewing before, which have been simmered for three days, and I just ate it today. You're a mouthful. I'll cook for you in a moment, and I'll cook you a few more good dishes. Give you a taste of my craft. So you, don't leave today, just live here, and we'll still have a bed at night. Shuyun smiled and kept Sister-in-law Osmanthus.

But Sister-in-law Osmanthus seemed a little hesitant, "How can this be done, there is still a large family in the family, and the matter is also a big push, I am not here, and I have to mess up." How can I rest assured? Besides, I didn't tell my family about what I was going to stay, and the carriage was still waiting outside. Good boy, my aunt knows that you hang on to me, and your aunt will receive it, and you can keep those good things and make up for them. I'm going back. ”

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Osmanthus was about to get up and walk out. Shuyun hurriedly stopped, "Oh, auntie, you can stay here for one night with peace of mind, and there will be nothing at home." Sister Hu Fang and her sister-in-law are so capable, they will take care of the affairs of the family. Send the carriage back first, and let the coachman help report the letter to the family. Early tomorrow morning, I will let the carriage from Zhuangzi take you back. ”

As he spoke, Shuyun shouted to Bai Li, who was guarding nearby, and gave him a handful of copper coins and asked him to send the carriage back.

In the evening, the two got together and had a delicious meal with mellow homemade rice wine. Early the next morning, Shuyun packed the remaining abalone and bird's nest and asked Sister-in-law Osmanthus to take them back for Uncle Juan to taste.

On the third night after Sister-in-law Osmanthus left, it was snowing heavily. Shuyun felt a little tired again, so she washed up early and went to bed. In a daze, I found that someone seemed to be standing next to my bed. So Shuyun woke up suddenly.

When I looked up, it was Lao Kang.
