"Madam, madam, the matchmaker of the Bai family and the white prince are here together." Lin Xue was resting in the room, and Wu's mother broke in with a shout.
Lin Xue turned over and sat up, and asked vigilantly, "Have you asked clearly, are you sure it's the matchmaker invited by the Bai family." ”
Mother Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Madam, this time it must be right, even Bai Gongzi came with him and took a lot of things." ”
Lin Xue was overjoyed, hurriedly dressed and went to the living room with Wu's mother, Bai Xiaowen saw Lin Xue and shouted respectfully, "Aunt." ”
Lin Xue smiled and said, "Sit down, it's not an outsider, why are you so polite." ”
Bai Xiaowen and the matchmaker sat down at this time, Lin Xue pointed to the pile of things in the living room, and said, "Bai Gongzi, I don't know what you are doing when you come here this time, why do you bring so many gifts, it's too expensive." ”
Bai Xiaowen stood up and knelt directly on the ground, and said, "Auntie, I came here today to propose marriage, since the last time I met the eldest lady by chance, the little nephew has been thinking about it in his heart, and I hope that my aunt can be fulfilled." ”
Although Lin Xue was happy in her heart, her face was impassive, and she said indifferently, "Bai Gongzi, if you really want to marry my daughter, then you have to promise me a condition, otherwise you won't talk about it." ”
"Auntie, please say, as long as the little nephew can do it, I will do my best." Bai Xiaowen's heart tightened, he really liked Yunyun, he used to feel that his identity was not worthy, but it was after Li Feng talked to him last time that he mustered up the courage to come over and propose.
Lin Xue put down the teacup and said unhurriedly, "My condition is that you must not take a concubine, you think about it, if you can't do it, please bring these things back." ”
"I can do it." Bai Xiaowen replied without hesitation, "Auntie, I promise you that in this life, apart from Yunyun, I will never have a second woman." ”
Lin Xue nodded with satisfaction, fortunately he didn't hesitate, otherwise this family business would really have to be thought about, Lin Xue walked over and helped Bai Xiaowen up, and said, "Then don't hurry up, from now on we will be a family." ”
Bai Xiaowen hurriedly stood up and said excitedly, "Auntie, then what you mean is to agree, great." ”
Lin Xue shook her head with a smile and said, "Yes, I agreed, Xiaowen, otherwise you stay today and let's have a meal together, Feng'er is estimated to be back soon." ”
"Auntie, or next time, my parents are still waiting for my good news at home, and they will be happy if they know that you have agreed." Bai Xiaowen said apologetically.
Lin Xue didn't care, she couldn't wait to tell Yunyun the news now, so she could understand Bai Xiaowen's feelings, waved her hand and said, "Since that's the case, then next time, Xiaowen, you go back and tell your parents when our two families will meet and settle the relationship between you and Yunyun." ”
Bai Xiaowen nodded vigorously, the feeling in his heart couldn't be expressed in words, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Auntie, then I will leave your words, and I will bring it." ”
After Bai Xiaowen left, Lin Xue also showed a big smile on her face, and ordered, "Mother Wu, hurry up and find Yunyun, just say that I have good news to tell her." ”
"I see, ma'am." Mother Wu also smiled, and sighed in her heart that the eldest lady's family affairs had finally been decided.
Over there, after returning to Zhou's house with a straight face, the matchmaker said bluntly, "Mrs. Zhou, there is no hope for this marriage, and the Li Mansion refused." ”
"What, they dare to refuse." Mrs. Zhou shouted in disbelief, her son is a talent, what kind of woman can't marry, this Li family really doesn't know what to do.
The flower matchmaker sneered and said disdainfully, "Mrs. Zhou, the eldest lady of the Li family is the sister of the county lord, why can't people refuse." The flower matchmaker looked down on the Zhou family more and more, and when she had a little talent, she put her eyes on the top of her head, and dared to fight anyone's idea.
"If she wasn't the sister of the county order, do you think I would let you propose? A wild girl from the countryside, what can match my son, flower matchmaker, did you not make it clear, my son was admitted to Xiucai at the age of sixteen, and he will be the champion in the future. A trace of doubt flashed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, could it be that the matchmaker thought she gave less money, so she was perfunctory.
The flower matchmaker rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "I have said all this, Mrs. Li feels that her daughter is not worthy of your son, so she refuses if she doesn't dare to climb high." ”
"Count their acquaintances, and know that marrying their daughter is climbing our family." Mrs. Zhou showed a look of satisfaction on her face, took a sip of tea and said, "Mrs. Hua, then you are on a run, tell the Li family that we don't dislike her daughter, but the dowry should be more generous, otherwise my son will come out in the future, and I am afraid that there will be no place for her in the family." ”
The flower matchmaker didn't mean to get up at all, waved her handkerchief, and said casually, "Mrs. Zhou, do you have a brain problem, or your hearing is not good, people say that Gao Pan is just a polite word, in fact, I don't like your son at all, I advise you to stop daydreaming there." ”
"What do you say, if you have the ability, you can tell me again." Mrs. Zhou jumped up suddenly, pointed to the flower matchmaker and said, "I know, you must not have gone to Li's house if you are an old man, and you dare to make up lies to lie to me here." ”
The flower matchmaker was also angry, kicked over the stool in front of her and said, "You are the old man, the poor clanging in the family still dares to hit the idea of the county lord's sister, I think you are caught in the door, your son was admitted to Xiucai at the age of sixteen, what is the great thing, the county master was admitted to Xiucai at the age of thirteen, and everyone was lifted at the age of sixteen." After a pause, the flower matchmaker said again, "You are an old immortal who has simply taken a fancy to the property and power of the Li family, and wants your son to marry someone else's daughter to borrow some light, and you are still here to say that you look down on others, I bah, don't want to marry a daughter-in-law in your son's bear-like life." ”
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes angrily, picked up the scissors on the kang and rushed towards the flower matchmaker, who hurriedly ran out when she saw that she was not good, and disappeared with a smoke.
Mrs. Zhou wrapped her little feet and couldn't run, she threw the scissors and stood at the door and scolded, the vicious words came out one after another, and she didn't have the same thing, she was scolding, Zhou Xiao came back, saw his mother's appearance, and asked strangely, "Mother, what happened, it made you angry like this." ”
Mrs. Zhou's eyes were red, and she took her son's hand and said the grievances in her belly, Zhou Xiao frowned after hearing this, and said, "Mother, then find a matchmaker to go to the Li family to propose marriage, it's not worth it to be angry for a ninth-rate person." ”
Mrs. Zhou touched her tears and said, "No, this time my mother will come to the door in person, so I don't have to be fooled by those villains again." ”
Zhou Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, how much silver do we have in our family, and the school is urging us to pay the money." ”
Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "This school is full of villains who see money, Xiao'er, don't worry, when the girl of the Li family marries in, you don't have to worry about these vulgar things anymore." ”
Zhou Xiao nodded, and then said, "Mother, what about the dowry, our family doesn't have the ability to buy it." ”
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Just borrow some money and buy two packs of dim sum casually, if it weren't for her brother becoming the county magistrate, my mother wouldn't have wronged my son to marry a country girl, it's really hard for you." ”
Zhou Xiao shook his head and said with a heavy face, "Mother, these are all temporary, when the son has a future in the future, he will definitely divorce his wife and marry another wife, and completely erase this stain." ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded again and again, patted Zhou Xiao's hand, and said, "It's still my son who is ambitious, don't worry, my mother will go to the Li family tomorrow, and I will definitely settle a family affair as soon as possible." ”
Over there, after Lin Xue told Yunyun the news that the Bai family had come to propose marriage, Yunyun's little face turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "Mother, this matter is done, what do you tell me to do." ”
Lin Xue looked at Yunyun with a smile, and said in a coquettish voice, "I'm afraid that if you don't say it again, you ghost girl won't be able to eat and sleep." ”
"Mother, I ignore you, go back to the room first." Yunyun stomped his feet and ran out.
Lin Xue shook her head with a smile and sighed, "The female university is not staying." ”
In the evening, Li Qi and Li Feng also came back from outside, and after Lin Xue told the Bai family about proposing marriage, both of them were also very happy, and Li Qi was even thinking about preparing a dowry for Yunyun.
Li Feng smiled and said, "Mother, what about the eldest sister, hasn't she come back yet?" ”
Lin Xue sighed and said, "I'm back, and the matter is settled, but I don't think she's in a very good mood, so she went back to sleep early." ”
Li Feng nodded and said, "It's good to solve it, the eldest sister probably thought of something unhappy, and it should be fine in a few days." ”
"I hope so." Lin Xue looked at Li Qi who was rummaging through the cabinets, and said helplessly, "If you are in charge, even if you prepare a dowry for Yunyun, you don't have to rush at this time, is it possible that you are still afraid that I will treat my daughter badly." ”
Li Qi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Aren't I happy, Yunyun has finally made a marriage, and our family's major affairs are basically over." ”
Lin Xue glanced at him and said, "Your daughter is about to become someone else's family, you are still so happy, Feng'er, let's ignore him and let him go alone." ”
Li Qide's expression collapsed suddenly, and he said helplessly, "Xiaoxue, how can my daughter marry someone else's family, she can come back at any time if she wants to come back, and the two families are so close, if you want to see it, you can go at any time." ”
Lin Xue's face sank, and she said worriedly, "What if that daughter is bullied, we are not around, it hurts to think about it." ”
