Chapter 45: Glory Outside the Staff
When Qin Sheng heard his father's words, his heart was very unbalanced.
Last time, it was obviously a kiss that you refused, but this time you asked yourself, who was a son, to ask to marry again, where can you put this face.
Although he thought so in his heart, Qin Sheng still didn't dare to disobey his father's orders, so he had to endure it.
The next day, after Fan Yu got up, he took care of his stepmother, Granny Li, and just had breakfast.
Suddenly, he heard someone calling the door, and when he opened the door, he naturally recognized it as Qin Sheng, the son of Qin Yuanwai.
"Qin Daguan, but is there something? Coincidentally, yesterday I went to the county government and was about to visit the house. Fan Yu arched his hand and let Qin Sheng in.
After the guest and host sat down, Qin Sheng was a little squirming. As for how to speak, he hadn't figured it out yet. first greeted his stepmother-in-law, Granny Li, and called her a big lady. I already know it, and this title is also the old name of the past.
"Virtuous nephew, this time I came to visit, and I also have something to do." Qin Sheng pondered in his heart for a long time before he spoke: "There are some misunderstandings between you and me, and they must be resolved." The previous lord Bo proposed to my family, but my family did not refuse. The lord Bo must have not heard my father's words clearly, which made you misunderstand that my family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and rejected the proposal of the virtuous nephew. If so, then it's wrong. My father also came to the door that day, but when he heard your big words, he was angry, and naturally he didn't explain it clearly. Actually, this family matter, my Qin family has already agreed. ”
Fan Yu was dumbfounded, he had forgotten about this stubble, but the Qin family suddenly mentioned it again. What's even more incredible to him is that the other party directly said that the refusal was a misunderstanding. It was obvious that the things that couldn't be solved were explained by Zhen Zhen, as if their Qin family had been wronged.
I didn't know how to answer, but my stepmother Li, who was sitting next to her, smiled and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, so it's the best." I just don't know if the Qin officials are here, do they want to set a wedding date? ”
Fan Yu said in his heart, he hadn't agreed yet, why did his stepmother start asking when she would get married.
Qin Sheng heard Granny Li's words, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "Big lady, my Yu'er is still young, or I will be engaged first." After some time, it's not too late to get married. ”
Stepmother Li listened to Qin Sheng's words, but she didn't take it seriously and said: "I'm also old, so I hope Yu'er will get married as soon as possible and give me a fat grandson." In this way, this day is also enjoyable. ”
Although it was a marriage, Fan Yu also heard something different. Qin Sheng came to the door to re-mention getting married, but he didn't want to get married earlier, and he didn't know what the way was here.
Fan Yu didn't think deeply, he didn't want to marry the other party. Qin Yuanwai and Qin Sheng, the father and son, really don't look down on them. If he marries the Qin family, it will not be a good thing for him.
"Big lady, my daughter of the Qin Mansion can't be hasty when she gets married." Qin Sheng knew that it was not easy to explain, so he said categorically.
Fan Yu saw that in the matter of the Qin Mansion's marriage, the Qin family should have other calculations.
"Qin Daguan, I am a person of filial piety." Fan Yu said calmly: "My words, if the big officials don't say it, they will not do it." But my mother's words, the big officials refused, I can't agree. In this way, this family business will be stopped, and it will not be mentioned again. ”
Qin Sheng never expected that Fan Yu would be so tough. The daughter of the Qin Mansion is not something that anyone can marry if they want to, but in the eyes of the other party, it is not as good as his stepmother's words.
When her stepmother Granny Li heard Fan Yu's words, she was very worried in her heart. This righteous son doesn't even want a daughter-in-law, and he wants to fight for his mother's face, and if he wants to say that he is unhappy, it is all fake.
"That's not what I meant." Qin Sheng hurriedly explained: "I just think that my daughter is still young, and I am not disrespectful to the eldest lady. If I have any offense, you mothers and sons may mention it. ”
Fan Yu didn't want to give him this opportunity, so he waved his hand and said, "Qin Daguan, don't mention the family affairs aside." I have something to tell you here. ”
Qin Sheng wanted to say more, but seeing that Fan Yu was not interested, he had to give up.
When he heard Fan Yu talk about seeing the magistrate and wanting to gather the squires of Xihua County to commend Qin in front of everyone, Qin Sheng felt a little regretful in his heart. Just now, I should have directly agreed to Mrs. Li and let Fan Yu and Yu'er get married as soon as possible.
In his opinion, after these incidents, Fan Yu is also the number one person in Xihua County. Even if you don't take a career in the future, you will become a squire of Xihua County. It would be great if they were to get married.
It's a pity that Fan Yu didn't let him mention the marriage again until he sent Qin Sheng out of the door.
Two days later, Mr. Zhang and his son Zhang Tiansheng arrived with a plaque. The plaque is also covered with a piece of red silk, which looks very festive.
Uncle Zhang and his son put the plaque on the chair in the hall of Fan Yu's house, lifted the red silk on the plaque and said, "Lord, please see, this has taken a lot of effort from the old man and me." Pick a good walnut, carved on the side of the Fu Lu pattern, fight a good color mouth. ”
Fan Yu raised his eyes and saw that this plaque was two feet high and seven feet long, with yellow characters on a black background, a large plaque.
The edge of the plaque is exactly what Mr. Zhang said about the border pattern formed by the sika deer and the bat. The four big characters in the middle, benevolence and righteousness, are set off very peaceful and steady.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang's craftsmanship has nothing to say." Fan Yu praised without hesitation.
Uncle Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's just a country craft, and it's good if you don't waste things for the master's family." By the way, I still have some money left, please take it back. ”
The money given by Fan Yu, in addition to buying wood and paint, did not keep it himself, but took it out.
"Don't give it to me." Fan Yu said with a smile: "This money comes from the government, and you can keep the rest for yourself." ”
"Master, there are still six hundred yuan here, which is not a few." Uncle Zhang hurriedly said.
Fan Yu resolutely refused to accept it, which could be regarded as a little subsidy for Zhang's father-in-law's family. In addition to the identity of Zhang Laozhang's hungry people, this is still a craftsman, and it is not enough to make a plaque, which is a little unreasonable.
"You still have to go to Xihua County with me, bring the plaque, and let's go together." Fan Yu commanded.
Last time, he had already made an appointment with Wang Feng, and three days later, at noon, he met with the squires in Xiaoyao Tower in Xihua County.
Today is the appointed day, and Fan Yu took Zhang's father and son to set off together.
As a result, after walking a few steps outside, he saw two carriages stopped in front of the three of them.
The curtain of the carriage in front of him was lifted, but it was Qin Yuanwai. He also wants to go to Xihua County, so naturally he will stop by Fan Yu.
"This is the plaque to reward my Qin family?" Qin Yuanwai impatiently got out of the carriage with the help of the housekeeper and went to see the plaque.
Fan Yu stopped: "Outside Qin, it's not good to see it now." ”
Qin Yuanwai couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this? It's all going to be given to me anyway, and I can't just take a look? ”
"If you look at it now, it won't be strange at that time." Fan Yu laughed and said: "This is to let the staff outside open it in front of many squires." Only in this way can the glory of the outside show and make other squires envious. If you look at it at this time, there is no sense of novelty, and it will be boring at that time. ”
