Shu Chengye came back and listened to the old lady's relay, and was angry and slapped the table and kicked the bench, with an angry face: "I knew that this kid was uneasy and kind!" He just covets our family Manyao! Last time, I didn't say anything inferior like this, I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted, just throw this person outside our house, it's best to die! It's so hateful that he still has the courage to come to the door to propose marriage, mother, we must not agree to this family business, I really don't think about this kid, it's too insidious! ”

The old lady was a little strange: "How did he offend you?" ”

Shu Chengye frowned, touched his chin, if he wanted to offend, he really didn't, to be honest, before the events of that day, he still felt that this Yang Jianbai was a talent, capable of literature and martial arts, and could talk together, he thought that the two of them could be a year-old friend, but he didn't expect that this kid was simply beating his own daughter's idea!

"What do you think doesn't like about him?" The old lady saw that Shu Chengye couldn't say a thing or two, so she asked a different question, Shu Chengye's brows furrowed even tighter, Yang Jianbai, this kid, what's wrong? Looks, that's first-class, what were the four beautiful men in Beijing before, and he seemed to be ranked third? Although this thing is a bit empty and can't be eaten or drunk, the eyes of the masses are bright, which fully shows that Yang Jianbai's appearance is still very good.

Character? Yang Jianbai has lived in Shu's house for nearly a month, he doesn't make waves, he stays in the yard every day, never asks for it, he is an honest person, no, this point can't be agreed, if he is really an honest person, why did he come to the door to propose? It's not like I have a bad idea in my head!

"He has a bad character!" Shu Chengye stiffened his neck and said to the old lady, and the old lady was puzzled: "Bad character?" What's bad? I think that this Yang Jianbai's character is quite good, he does things neatly, is decisive, upright, and is a gentleman. You say that his character is not good, what did he do that was not haode? ”

Shu Chengye was choked again, thinking about it carefully, Yang Jianbai really didn't do anything, he just proposed to Man Yao behind his back - no, this is a great crime! Without the words of his parents, how could he say that to Man Yao? Man Yao is just a little girl's family, and she has never seen any foreign men, maybe she will be deceived by him in a few words, this kind of person, if you can deceive a little girl, you can deceive the second, third and fourth, if Manyao really marries him in the future, maybe there will be more sisters in the future.

"No, this Yang Jianbai is not a gentleman." Shu Chengye angrily vetoed: "Anyway, this family business is not good." ”

The old lady wants to get angry a little, in her opinion, Yang Jianbai is a good candidate, her granddaughter is going to be eighteen, if you don't say goodbye, wait until filial piety, that age is really a little old, the result is good, Shu Chengye, who is a father, don't say a good reference for his daughter, and make trouble here, you say Yang Jianbai is not good, you say one, two, three, what's the use of you just denying it here?

"Mother, you really don't have to worry, Man Yao is just the right age, I was inquiring about the right person some time ago, we will definitely be able to pick a more haode for Man Yao." Shu Chengye saw that the old lady's face was not good, and hurriedly comforted him, and the old lady glanced at him: "You just said it nicely, you have been saying this for half a year, but as a result, the candidate you picked is either this bad or that is not good, you should find me someone more Haode than Yang Jianbai." ”

Shu Chengye was a little embarrassed, and he didn't blame him for this, these little children got married, and they were generally the affairs of women in the back house, he was a big man, and it was simple to come forward to inquire about the candidate, but he couldn't find out what the situation in the backyard of the candidate's family background was.

"Okay, okay, I'm annoyed when I see you, you go back first, Yang Jianbai, I'll think about it." The old lady waved her hand and signaled that Shu Chengye could leave, Shu Chengye grinded: "Mother, I think that Yang Jianbai's matter really needs to be considered, we must not make a decision too hastily, after all, it is about the happiness of Manyao's life, let's be careful, I think, that Yang Jianbai is a little sneaky, wait for me to inquire again." ”

"Okay, then you go and inquire carefully, and inquire about the good news as soon as possible." The old lady said indifferently, in fact, she didn't expect Shu Chengye at all, she knew her son too well.

Because she gave birth to a son back then, and the old lady passed away early, the Shu family is a single seedling, and the old lady has never taught Shu Chengye about the back house, thinking that he will understand after he gets married, who knows, Shu Chengye is an unenlightened person, how old is this, and the affairs of the back house are still as simple as a child, and he never interferes.

Fortunately, Man Yao is sensible, otherwise, the backyard of the Shu family would have been chaotic a long time ago.

"Girl, the lord does not agree to this marriage." Xia Xi combed Shu Manyao's hair and said softly, seeing that Shu Manyao's face had not changed, she was a little curious: "Isn't the girl worried?" ”

"Worried? What to worry about? Worried that his father would not agree, Yang Jianbai would give up? Shu Manyao smiled and took the hairpin and compared it on her head, if that was the case, she admitted that she had lost her eyes again, indicating that her vision was indeed inferior to Shu Chengye. Then she will wait for Shu Chengye in this life, and then choose a satisfactory husband for her.

If she didn't look away, would she need to worry about this kind of thing? She just needs to wait quietly, wait for Yang Jianbai to get things done, and then she just waits for her to get married.

Worry or not, it's the same thing, so why bother yourself?

Xia Xi waited for a while, and saw that Shu Manyao didn't mean to explain, so she didn't ask anymore, took the beads to Shu Manyao, and helped Shu Manyao to get up: "Girl, Mrs. said that she was a little unwell yesterday, should we go to Mrs. first today, or go directly to the old lady?" ”

"Let's go to Madame first." Shu Manyao looked down at her skirt and said with a smile: "Madame is not feeling well, although I sent a message yesterday and didn't let me go over to ask for peace, let's really not go, go and see, if Madame is seriously ill, I have to ask a doctor again." ”

Xia Xi answered, called Jing Xia and Jing Dong, and the master and servant went to Baoyuan Hall together. After Yangui Garden and Begonia Garden merged into one courtyard, it was renamed Baoyuan Hall, which was Cheng's courtyard.

Cheng is really a little uncomfortable, it's September at this time, it's cool in the morning and evening, and it's a little hot at noon, Cheng doesn't pay attention, it's a little cold, and he is lying on the bed drinking medicine at this time, and when he saw Shu Manyao coming in, he waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't come in, be careful of getting sick, this medicine is very bitter, and you're afraid you won't be able to stand it at that time." ”

Shu Manyao shook her head with a smile: "Mother is worried that I am afraid of hardship?" It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of hardship. Mother don't worry, Dr. Li left a recipe last time, saying that the whole family should drink it for two days to prevent colds, and I just drank a bowl before I came. What did my mother think? Can you be a little lighter? If you still feel uncomfortable, let's ask the doctor to come and have a look? I counted the days, Dr. Xiao Song was resting tomorrow, and I just sent someone to invite someone to check my mother's pulse, although Dr. Song is young, his medical skills are very good, and he just entered the hospital this year. ”

Although his official position is not high, he is not very old, and if he can enter the Tai Hospital at this age, his medical skills are not in vain.

"No need, no trouble." Cheng smiled and waved his hand, Shu Manyao reached out and tucked the quilt for her: "Mother's words are wrong, how can this be considered trouble?" Mother will get better soon, and we don't have to worry about mother. ”

Cheng smiled and patted her hand: "You, this mouth is really smart, I can say three words, okay, okay, listen to you, let's do what you say, right?" ”

"Mother has to take care of her body early, I miss the red bean cake made by my mother." Shu Manyao said with a smile, as soon as the words fell, I heard Shu Manjin say: "Big sister is really filial, she comes so early every day, it seems that we are stupid, mother must not dislike us." ”

"Where will it be, my mother will love you as much." Cheng said so, the smile on his face was two points lighter than when he faced Shu Manyao, and he instructed the maid to take the embroidery pier and bring tea and snacks, and Cheng asked carefully: "What did you eat last night?" Did you sleep well? It was a little windy in the middle of the night last night, but the quilt was covered? ”

"Mother, look at what you asked, we all fell asleep this night, did the quilt cover it, how do we know?" Shu Manyu pursed his lips, sat down on the side, and reached out to pinch a small fortune orange from the table to play: "However, we are all healthy today, so it can be seen that we slept well last night, and my mother doesn't have to worry." ”

This was very polite, but Cheng didn't care, he just smiled, turned his head to look at the hourglass and said, "It's not too early, you should go and say hello to the old lady now, hurry up, don't let the old lady wait for a long time." By the way, Man Yao, you have breakfast later, come over to my side, I have something I want to explain to you. ”

Shu Manyao responded, Shu Manjin turned his eyes around the two of them and said with a smile: "Mother really loves the eldest sister, and she only tells the eldest sister about something, forget it, Manyu and I are young, and it is understandable that my mother does not explain our affairs." ”

Cheng explained with a smile: "It's not an important thing, isn't it time for you to show filial piety?" Man Yao has probably never done such a thing before, I will explain to her two sentences, this filial piety thing has to be handled well. If you two have time, you might as well come and listen to a few words when the time comes. ”

Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu were stunned for a moment, and then Shu Manyu's eyes turned red, turned his head and stopped talking, Shu Manjin pursed his lips, nodded and responded: "Thank you mother for remembering this matter, and after breakfast, my third sister and I also came to listen to a few sentences, after all, in addition to filial piety, it is not that the pillar incense is on the line, I and the third sister also copied a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures before, and I want to offer to my mother in the temple, and I have to consult my mother about this matter." ”

Cheng nodded in response, and when he saw that the three sisters had gotten up, he asked the maid to send people out. As soon as the person left, the peach blossom beside her couldn't help it: "Madam, the second girl and the third girl are too polite, you haven't said anything, they climbed on the pole, no wonder the status in the Shu family is not high, just this unpleasant temperament, it is strange that the old lady can like it, or the eldest girl is more understanding." ”

Cheng frowned and waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just not pleasing, that's also the daughter of the Shu family, maybe there will be a flying Huang Tengda in the future, the eldest girl looks good, but it's not a simple one, this Shu family, looking at few people and few disputes, but it is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, let's just stay in peace, what should be ours is ours, not ours, but don't make that a means." ”

The little maid is also honest, just now she just saw that Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu didn't have much respect for Cheng, so she complained a few words, and saw that her girl didn't care, so she put this matter down.

Their girl finally got out of the palace, tired of these calculations, and wanted to live a quiet life, so why bother herself? If the Shu family girls are not in harmony, it will be more beneficial to their own girls, saving them from forming a group to squeeze out their own girls.
