Chapter 15: Why bother?
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the soul of gossip is inexorable.
What's more, Granny Li is the most concerned and distressed at this time, and she is also this young but very sensible son.
Fan Yu never thought that Wang Feng would suddenly ask this question, and he was a little caught off guard.
I had to stammer: "I have just turned fifteen, and my parents have died, and I have not yet been married." ”
He had already seen that Wang Feng had the intention of being a moon elder. It's a pity that he was a single dog in his last life, and just a few days after he crossed this life, someone made a marriage for him, how could he not be nervous.
"Since the little brother is not engaged yet, I wonder if I can hold this red line for you?" Wang Feng laughed, looked Fan Yu up and down again, and asked.
Fan Yu was a little dazed, he didn't expect this kind of thing to fall on him. With Wang Feng's identity as the county lord of Xihua, the person who can make him worry about the right person must not be bad.
It's just that before Fan Yu could react, his stepmother, Granny Li, had already appeared at the door of the hall silently.
"Yu'er, the person who can make Lord Wang speak together, presumably the family and the appearance are the best choice, what are you hesitating about?" Granny Li smiled, what she was thinking about now was that Fan Yu would get married as soon as possible.
At the age of fifteen years old, this is not small in the Great Song Dynasty. Fan Yu became a relative this year, and wouldn't it be good for her Granny Li to hug her grandson and enjoy that joy in the coming year.
Fan Yu himself also knows that the idea of free love in later generations is almost impossible in the Great Song Dynasty.
At that moment, he could only nod and say: "Lord Wang is so enthusiastic, the grass people are really grateful here, and it is all up to Lord Wang to decide." ”
Wang Feng smiled and clapped his hands lightly and said, "I will tell you the little brother that you are the one who agrees, and it will not be bad." Coincidentally, this woman is also from your Caoqiao Town. ”
Granny Li hurriedly entered the house and asked, "Oh? Whose woman is it that makes Lord Wang so praised? ”
"This daughter is the daughter of the Qin family, a big family in Caoqiao Town, and she is the granddaughter of Qin Hu's family, and her name is Qin Yu'er. Some time ago, Qin Hu went to the county to hand over summer grain, and he met with me. Speaking of her granddaughter Qin Yuer, she is now thirteen and has not yet been married. Although I have never seen this woman, the appearance of the Qin family is not bad, and the family property is rich, so there must be no lack of a heavy dowry. Wang Feng didn't see Granny Li's face gradually darkening, and then said: "The little brother is not thin now, and he is very witty, and he will definitely be prosperous in the future." That Qin Yu'er and you are a good match. ”
Fan Yu listened to Wang Feng's words, but saw that his stepmother's face had changed. When he thought that his stepmother was driven out of the Qin family, he must have some pimples in his heart.
After a little hesitation, Fan Yucai said with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Lord Wang, I can't hide it, my father Fan Sheng has been a steward in the Qin Mansion for many years. If you take the liberty to marry him, I am afraid that there will be nowhere to put Master Qin Hu's face. ”
An embarrassed look flashed on Wang Feng's face, Fan Yu's father has been in charge of the Qin family for many years, which is equivalent to saying that Fan Yu's family and the Qin family are master and servant. If there was no reminder from Fan Yu, he ran over to propose to Qin Hu, but he was afraid that Qin Hu's outside would refuse to say anything, and he would think that he intended to humiliate.
At this time, Granny Li also opened her mouth, and she said indifferently: "Lord Wang doesn't know, the old woman also came out of the Qin Mansion. When Qin Hu saw me, he also had to shout out to his old sister. ”
Fan Yu looked at his stepmother's face without any expression, and he didn't know what she meant by this. I want to persuade two sentences, but I don't know where to start.
Wang Feng was surprised: "I didn't expect that the old lady had anything to do with his Qin Mansion?" ”
"I am a distant relative of their Qin Mansion." Of course, Granny Li would not tell the truth, but she said proudly: "If you judge from me, my righteous son is more than a step above that Qin Yu'er in terms of identity!" ”
When Fan Yu heard this, he found that his stepmother's tsundere disease had flareed up again, and hurriedly said: "Mother, that Qin Hu's outer eyes are higher than the top, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
I have to cool down my stepmother, and my marriage is not very tight, if it is to compete for a high status, Wang Feng will eventually be unable to be a person in the middle.
Wang Feng also knew that he was a little hasty in this matter at this time, so he had to laugh and say: "I know, the old lady and the Qin Hu are distant relatives and equals. And Fan Yu's little brother is the old lady's righteous son, in terms of generation, he has become the uncle of Qin Hu's granddaughter, and he is indeed higher than Qin Yuer. ”
He was looking for himself to go under the stairs, and by the way, he wanted to take back the words he had said to Fan Yu before. But Granny Li is very proud and calculating in the matter of identity, and refuses to listen to his sloppy words.
"Lord Wang, my family Yu'er and that Qin Yu'er are not blood relatives, so there is no need to mention any generation. But with my wife here for a day, Yu'er's identity is unspeakably precious, so you don't have to look down on him. "Granny Li's words are loud and cannot be questioned.
Fan Yu was dumbfounded, wouldn't her stepmother be so good, wouldn't it be equivalent to forcing Wang Feng to go to the Qin family to propose marriage? If you give way to the matter of high status, Wang Feng will also have a step, and just say a few words at will to divert the topic, so as not to embarrass everyone.
But as soon as Granny Li's words came out, Wang Feng had no room to turn around.
Gritting his teeth, Wang Feng also has a big head, and he can't think about it in the face of Granny Li, an old but stubborn person.
"Okay, I'll go to Qin's house and propose to Qin Hu's outside." Wang Feng could only stubbornly say: "However, the relationship between the two of you is a little complicated, and the little nephew does not dare to guarantee the success of the proposal." If not, don't blame me, old lady. ”
Fan Yu hurriedly relieved Wang Feng at this time and said, "Lord Wang doesn't have to be like this, this matter will be done." My stepmother thought that she felt sorry for me and was anxious to tell me about it. The Qin family is so troublesome, so forget it. Mother, do you say yes? ”
Who thought that Granny Li laughed, "My son should always be empathetic, but he has wronged himself." If Qin Yu'er is married to you, she is high. ”
Wang Feng couldn't help frowning, feeling that this Granny Li was talking big. If he stays any longer, I'm afraid he will be angry.
"Oh, old lady, and little brother, I don't have much time, so I'll go to work first. Regarding the Qin family's family affairs, I will come to the door today to mention it, so don't worry. Whether it succeeds or not, I will give a reply. and your uncle Fan Lian's family property, I will give you an explanation today. Wang Feng began to find an excuse to say goodbye: "Recently, I have been busy with official affairs, and the Empress Dowager Liu in the palace has been in the palace for a whole year. Therefore, I am not bothered anymore. ”
Wang Feng ran away like a run, and sighed when he went out, why did he have a hot brain and mess up the mandarin duck spectrum? Wait a minute, you have to go to the Qin Mansion, why bother.
Fan Yu sent Wang Feng away, and when he returned to the house, he saw his stepmother, Granny Li, in a daze. The whole person seems to have become a mud bodhisattva in the temple, and his eyes are straight without saying a word.
