Qian Duoyu asked people to go to Gu Guang's house to propose, the matchmaker came and said to Gu Guang that someone was like Gu Tianhui to propose, Gu Guang hurriedly invited the matchmaker in, Feng Ying came out and poured tea for the matchmaker and went into the house.

Gu Guang thought to himself, is that family like Tianhui proposes? Those with good conditions are ugly for Tianhui, and no one has come to propose marriage, if Tianhui is successfully married this time, it is also a good thing, and it can be regarded as the completion of his wish.

Gu Guang asked the matchmaker softly, "I don't know which matchmaker came to propose to the little girl?" The matchmaker hurriedly replied: "Village chief, it's a great thing, it's Qian Duoyu, the second son of Qian Cigui, the mayor of the former town of Fanzhen, who proposed marriage, don't you know that the Qian family's business is being taken care of by this second son..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Gu Guang stood up excitedly, "What kind of money is given to your son?" You give me the go, get out immediately..."Gu Guang angrily dropped the teacup, the matchmaker hurriedly ran out in fright, Feng Ying and Tianhui hurriedly ran out of the house when they heard the voice, Feng Ying asked: "What's wrong with Dad, it's a good thing that someone comes to propose marriage, even if you don't agree, you won't be angry like this!" Sit down, take a sip of tea, and talk slowly. ”

Gu Guang spread out on the chair, closed his eyes and didn't say a word. Tianhui asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Did the matchmaker introduce me to someone who was blind and lame, or was she older than you? How else would it make you angry like this? ”

"No, no, don't ask, I won't agree, I want to be quiet" and went out.

The words were divided into two ends, and the matchmaker over there ran to Qian's house to tell Qian Cigui and Qian Duoyu that she was driven out by Gu Guang and said: "Master Town, I have never seen such a fierce person, if it weren't for my wife's fast running, I would probably have to be beaten, and I was kicked out as soon as I reported your name." Qian Cigui smiled and said, "I'm sorry that Mrs. Wang has tired you, go to the account room to get a big red envelope, the matchmaker has not been made, and the red envelope will not be less haha." ”

The matchmaker hurriedly said: "Thank you, the second son of the town mayor, that old man has a very strange temper, but when his daughter came out to pour me tea, I took a closer look, but she is really a beauty, but she is thinner, no wonder the second son likes it?" Hehe, then I'll quit first. ”

After the matchmaker left, Qian Cigui said to Duoyu; "Yu'er, Dad is right? That old head just doesn't know what to do, it's harder for him to agree than to ascend to the sky, that old thing is very stubborn, he was like this when he was young, I really don't know what Fen Sui likes about him? Qian Duoyu said: "Then don't blame me, even if you poke a hole in the sky, you have to marry his daughter back." ”

At noon, Gu Tianxi came back on a bicycle and shouted before he entered the yard; "Dad, Feng Ying, what do you think this is? It took a lot of effort for me to get one. ”

Gu Guang sat motionless in the room as if he hadn't heard it, his face was like ashes.

Tianhui and Fengying ran out of the house, they all felt very surprised when they saw the bicycle, Tianhui asked; "Brother got this thing from there, I also want to ride it to see, is it easy to learn?" Tianxi replied: "Okay, okay, you and Feng Ying both study, this is what my classmates used to get when I was studying in the city, I heard that it is popular for young people in the city to ride this now." ”

Feng Ying said: "I heard my father say that Emperor Xuantong also likes to ride this thing, and for the convenience of riding, he also sawed many thresholds in the palace. "Tianhui asked;" Is it? Sister-in-law, you know a lot, and you also know about the emperor. The three of you chatted non-stop in the courtyard, and several villagers in the village also came to see the excitement.

During the meal, Gu Guang still didn't say a word and looked thoughtful, Tianxi asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" I heard that someone said goodbye to Tianhui today, you are angry, is the condition too poor or too old? It stands to reason that even then, you wouldn't be so angry as to drive people away, would you? ”

Alas! Gu Guang sighed and said; "Sooner or later, Tianxi and Tianhui are going to provoke right and wrong, I don't know what will happen in the future, you had better be mentally prepared."

Tianhui couldn't help it, and said: "Oh, Dad, what are you talking about, they are here to propose to me, I have the right to know who it is." Gu Guang sighed again and said; It is the second son of the former mayor of Fanzhen. ”

Tianxi smiled and said, "Dad, are you afraid that our family will not be able to climb the mayor's house?" Gu Guang was embarrassed and said: "Child, you don't know that the name of the original mayor is Qian Cigui, and he used to be the richest family in our Fangshan Village, when he was young, his father had a festival for your mother and Qian Cigui, and then he sold all the family property and left Fangshan Village, there has been no news for so many years, and now he suddenly proposed to his son to Tianhui, he must be playing some bad idea, wanting to retaliate against us."

Tianhui asked, "Dad, what should we do?" Gu Guang replied; Dad doesn't know, anyway, Dad won't agree to this family business, he can't push you into the fire pit, you can only take one step at a time. I don't think the Qian family will give up so easily. The four of them sat together and were relatively silent, and everyone had insomnia that night, and no one could sleep.

Everyone in the Qian family hall was waiting for Master Qian to come out before the meal could be served, and the eldest lady waited for a while to stand up and say; "Xiao Cui, bring the food to my room" Ran got up and entered the room.

The eldest lady is a straight-tempered person, although she is nearly fifty years old, but she still has a temperament like an orchid, she and Master Qian have a bad relationship, and the two of them were also arranged marriages by their parents back then, and since Master Qian married the second wife, their relationship has been even worse.

And the two people have different ideas, they usually can't talk together, the two respect each other in front of outsiders, in fact, they are the most familiar strangers, Mr. Qian rarely goes to the eldest wife's room, except for going to the study in the aunt's room.

The second wife is in her forties, with an excellent figure, walking left and right, the so-called half-old charm still exists, and the aunt's wife is careful, sharp teeth, and wears bells and whistles.

She gave birth to a son and a daughter, but they all had a general relationship with her, and she didn't have the heart to care about her children, she just wanted to keep Master Qian and keep her status. The subordinates are secretly discussing, except for the master, even her children can't get used to her coquettish appearance.

The most loser in this family is Qian Duojin, he is the eldest son, he eats fat head and big ears, his brain is full of fat intestines, he is domineering, always causing trouble, Master Qian and Qian Duoyu often wipe his buttocks, he mixes with a bunch of fox friends and dog friends every day, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, there is nothing he doesn't like.

He has a concubine who is also the daughter of a poor family, and she was singing in the teahouse with her blind father, but she was married back by Qian Duojin, who said that she was not worthy of being a concubine, even if she was a concubine, and gave her a new name called Duoxi.

Duoxi is white and pure, but she has the most no status in this family, Qian Duojin only uses her as a plaything, and scolds her when she beats her, she is frightened in the Qian family, cautious, for fear that if she does something wrong, she will be beaten violently, she is already thin and weak, and she hunched her waist like a frightened kitten all day long.

Since. After her blind father died of illness last year, she had no relatives in this world, and there was only endless scolding in her life, she felt that she was not even as good as a servant, and felt that she was a slave, a slave of Qian Duojin, but she was timid and afraid of things, and she did not dare to resist, so she could only endure it silently.

Although she can also eat at the same table with them, but every time she just bows her head to eat the rice in her bowl and never stretches out her chopsticks to go out to pick up vegetables, only the eldest lady in the family is good to her, but the eldest lady can't control her disobedient son, every time Qian Duojin fights Duoxi, she can only try her best to stop it, even if so, Duoxi is often beaten blue and purple.

The third young master, Qian Duo, has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, is gentle and elegant, and has a dignified appearance. It's a pity that he was born to his aunt's wife, so he doesn't have two older brothers in this family.

He has studied in the provincial capital for the past two years and rarely goes home, sometimes even if he goes back, he stays for a day or two and leaves, he is full of dissatisfaction with this family, a father who is greedy for money and does not care about the life and death of others, and a mother who is looked down upon, two brothers and themselves are like strangers, there is no family affection between brothers at all.

In this family, he is most relieved of his sister Baolan, his sister has not liked to talk since she was a child, and everything is hidden in her heart, since the third brother went out to study, she has become more taciturn, their brothers and sisters hate their mother, I feel that this mother does not care much about them but always embarrasses them, such a mother is like a label attached to them and can not be torn off.

The servant shouted, and everyone sat upright, and the dull atmosphere just now seemed to ease a lot in an instant. "Let's eat", Master Qian said, everyone began to move chopsticks, and at this time the second wife smiled and said, "Duoyu, Erniang heard that the matchmaker you sent to propose marriage was kicked out, is it true?" It's that family who is so visionless, it's okay, Erniang will introduce you to a better one in the future. Qian Duoyu's face sank suddenly, and he didn't speak.

Master Qian glanced at his aunt and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, so many dishes can't stop your mouth, when will it be your turn to take care of the matter of Duoyu." The second lady closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak. At this time, Qian Duojin said: "Second brother, you tell the eldest brother that it is that family, so you don't give us the Qian family face, and the eldest brother will clean him up." Qian Duoyu said with displeasure: "Don't bother with big brother, I can handle my own affairs by myself." At this time, Mr. Qian knocked on his chopsticks twice and said; "Alright, alright, let's eat!"

When I returned to the house in the evening, the second wife pouted and said to Master Qian: "Master, can you save some face for me in front of the children, how can you say that I am also the second wife, you always scold me, no wonder they don't respect me." "Master Qian said impatiently: Okay, you still don't think I'm annoying enough, I nag all day long." After saying that, he went to bed and went to sleep.
