Chapter 16 Marriage Proposal

When Zhenniang and Xi Ge'er entered the house, it was already afternoon.

The Li family was still having lunch, and the Zhao family and the Du family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the mulberry field early in the morning, hoeing and fertilizing the grass and working all morning, and they had just returned from the field.

Grandma Wu cooked lunch, and when they came back, everyone started the meal, and even the old shopkeeper Li was sitting upright at this moment.

"Grandparents, mother-in-law, we're back." Zhenniang said hello.

"You're back, have you eaten?" Grandma Wu asked in a loud voice.

"I've eaten it." Zhenniang said with a smile.

"However, after all these journeys, my stomach seems to be hungry again." On the side, Brother Xi touched his belly, this guy is a gluttonous cat, as long as he has food, he doesn't care if his belly can be cushioned or not, he always has to eat it in his mouth to be happy.

Xi Ge'er said, and rubbed it against the corner of the table.

Zhenniang glared at him angrily, turned around casually and put the raw lacquer she had begged for into the firewood room, and put the borrowed basket in the yard, and then returned to the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Xi Ge'er sitting at the table, holding a pot in his hand, eating with relish. The mouth kept talking, all what he saw and heard at Grandpa Six's house in the morning.

This kid goes to listen to books when he has nothing to do on weekdays, and when it comes to gossip, he has also learned the way of storytelling, which is quite attractive.

On the bamboo bed next to the wall, Xiao Guan'er was rolling around, protesting against everyone's neglect of him. Seeing that she was about to roll to the ground, Zhen Niang hurriedly stepped forward and held him in her arms.

As for Li Dalang, he works in the oil mill and never goes home at noon.

"I don't believe you asked the second sister, the second sister said, that ink seems to be made by some emperor, and it is worth a lot of money." Xi Geer zuihou summed up, and did not forget to pull his second sister to testify.

"Actually, I'm not sure about it, but it shouldn't be wrong that Fang Mo is the dragon incense ink of the Tang Dynasty." Zhen Niang hugged Xiaoxiao and said. Then he talked about some of the characteristics of Namo.

"Well, back then, the ancestors left a lot of ancient ink, and our brothers have divided some of them, and it is not uncommon for your sixth grandfather's family to have Long Xiangmo from the Tang Dynasty." On the side, Old Li said. But what I like in my heart is that Zhen Niang can recognize it at a glance, thinking that this girl has really worked hard over the years.

Thinking about the past, this girl always went to him to ask about ink for a while, and then he had to look for books to read, at that time, he always thought that this girl was mainly here to deceive himself into eating, but now it seems that he is wrong.

The old shopkeeper Li thought, how did he know, he was not wrong before, the Zhenniang at that time really wanted to cheat and eat, and the current Zhenniang is two different things.

"We also have some in our family, but they all let your father lose everything." Grandma muttered too. At the beginning, everything that was valuable in the family was taken out by Li Jingfu and gambled.

On the one hand, the corners of Zhao's mouth twitched, he was distressed, and Du Shi sighed, thinking that it would be great if he could leave a few pieces for Xiaoguan, and if she was civilized, maybe she could get a lifting master when she grew up, then she was the mother of lifting people, and she was also very beautiful.

Of course, everything is just to think about.

"By the way, Zhen Niang, just now Brother Xi said that your Uncle Jinhua begged another lady in Suzhou? What's going on? At this time, Zhao asked curiously.

Xi Ge'er said it indistinctly.

"Mother, that's just speculation, and I don't know if it's true or not. By the way, isn't my dad in Suzhou? Uncle Wilder hasn't left yet, has he? Did we send a letter to my father? If you don't send it, ask your father and let him quietly inquire to see if it's true or not. Zhen Niang said.

"Well, the letter is still on my desk, you can read it to your mother in a while, and then mention this matter to your father in the letter by the way, so that he can pay attention to it." On the side, Old Li said.

The face is not very good-looking, if a wealthy person really secretly marries the second room, it must not be estimated, and the Li family can't afford to lose that person.

"Zhenniang, you mention one more sentence in the letter, let your father make money with peace of mind, don't think about it." Zhao said suddenly.

Zhen Niang couldn't help but be happy, knowing that her mother was also worried, and this was very common in Hui businessmen, most of whom ran outside, and some did not go home for several years, so they often married the second room outside.

Thinking about it, this really has to be reminded, it just so happens that this letter is written in the name of grandpa, and grandpa knocks on his father a few words, which is indispensable.

Thinking about it, Zhen Niang went to her grandfather's room, picked up the letter on the table that had not been sealed, opened it and saw that it was nothing more than some words to encourage her father to work diligently, Zhen Niang then picked up the pen on the table, and the ink on the inkstone had not yet dried, Zhen Niang used the ink on the inkstone to tell her father about Uncle Jinhua, that is, to remind me, at this time, the sixth grandfather must have sent someone to Suzhou to inquire.

Then he made up the advice of his mother, and then took the letter out, ready to read it to his mother first, and then sent it to Uncle Huaide's house.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard the courtyard door squeak and be opened. There was a poking head out of the door, it was Sun Yuejuan. Sun Yuejuan was also carrying a pot of copper oil in her hand.

Seeing Zhenniang standing in the courtyard, Sun Yuejuan grinned, and pushed the door in: "You didn't go to get tung oil yesterday, and my father asked me to send it to you today." ”

As Sun Yuejuan entered the door, she was followed by her mother Feng, who was also smiling.

"Uncle Xiexie." Zhenniang took the tung oil, and then asked, "Why are you so happy?" ”

"Good thing, your mother is here, right? I have something to say to your mother. At this time, Feng Shi waved his hand and said with a grin.

"Yes, in the house." Zhen Niang said, and Feng shook his hand and entered the house.

Zhen Niang looked at Sun Yuejuan with a puzzled expression.

"My father has been promoted, because of your cigarette matter, today Steward Zheng was dismissed by Steward Shao, and my father was on top." Sister Sun Yue said with a smile on her face.

"Oh, that's right." Zhenniang nodded, which was expected by her, but she didn't expect Zuihou to be Sun Yuejuan's father.

No wonder Yuejuan's mother is so happy. Zhen Niang immediately looked curious again: "Then what is your mother looking for my mother?" ”

Sun Yuejuan smiled before speaking, and looked at Zhenniang vigorously, looking at Zhenniang with an inexplicable face.

"What's the matter? Don't talk about it, say it. Zhen Niang slapped her angrily.

"We're going to get married, and my mother wants you to be my second sister-in-law." Sun Yuejuan said with a smile.

When Zhen Niang heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning, she knew what Feng had been towards her before, she was fine on weekdays, but Sun Qianyi was very protective of her. At this time, he suddenly changed his temperament to propose?

It's not Zhen Niang's conspiracy theory, Zhen Niang can be sure that Feng must have a plan, thinking about what happened in the past two days, it is nothing more than lighting a cigarette with one hand.

was thinking about it, but he saw Feng Shi come out with an angry face, and muttered in his mouth: "I really think that you are still the eighth room of the Li family at the beginning, it is not anymore, and you are still holding the shelf of a high-ranking family, I am also kind-hearted, I can't bear to be delayed, but I didn't think about it, but my kindness is not good to repay, forget it, your Zhenniang, my Erlang can't climb high." ”

Feng Shi said, and pulled Sun Yuejuan again: "Let's go, go home, in the future, I won't come here much." ”

"Mother......" Sun Yuejuan shouted in embarrassment, but in the end she was pulled away by Feng.

Looking at the courtyard gate of Huangdang, Zhen Niang understood, needless to say, it must be the family talk that collapsed, which was expected by Zhen Niang, her own mother was not stupid, and how could she not understand Feng's plan.

is relieved, but in this way, this friendship between himself and Sun Yuejuan is about to fade slowly, which is a pity, but luck is like this, so don't care too much.

"The two sons of the Sun family, the eldest son has a reckless and impulsive temper, and is brave and ruthless, not a good person, and the second son is a cowardly person, not a responsible person, and he is not a good match."

This is the evaluation of the old shopkeeper Li on the two sons of the Sun family.
