Chapter 54: Marriage Proposal (1)
After Chu Jingting returned to the courtyard, she couldn't wait to share with Hu Shi what she saw and heard at the chrysanthemum banquet.
"Auntie, I'm back."
Chu Jingting, who had just entered the courtyard, shouted Hu.
After Hu Shi heard Chu Jingting's voice, he put down the needlework in his hand and walked out.
"Jing Ting, why are you yelling like this, losing the dignity of your daughter's family."
Chu Jingting ignored Hu's complaints, stuck out her tongue, and made Hu happy.
"Auntie, where am I not dignified?"
Hu Shi saw that his daughter, who has always been calm and generous, never easily reveals her heart on weekdays, and she must have encountered something happy when she was so happy today.
poked Chu Jingting's head with his hand.
"Stinky girl, don't you say it soon, what happy things happened?"
Chu Jingting, who was guessed by the Hu family, poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told Hu Shi all the details of the banquet.
"Auntie, I went to the chrysanthemum banquet today, I really didn't go in vain, there is a talent competition this year, guess how I am?"
For Chu Jingting, Hu has always been at ease.
"I still sell it to my aunt, let's talk about it, whether I got a good ranking."
Chu Jingting stretched out the white jade bracelet she was carrying on her hand and showed it to the Hu family.
The Hu family grew up in the Chu family since he was a child, and he naturally knew this white jade.
"Isn't this white jade? Where do you come from? ”
Chu Jingting smiled brightly.
"Of course, I won it in my talent competition, so many young ladies participated in the talent competition, but only five people won this white jade bracelet. Moreover, Mrs. Pang also let the five of us make friends, and if we can in the future, we can develop into close friends in the boudoir. ”
Hu was very surprised, his daughter shined at the chrysanthemum banquet, and compared to those ladies who also saw it, Jing Ting's marriage was a little progressive.
Now the Hu family is most at ease about Jing Ting's marriage.
"Then you have a good man at the banquet, you are not young, this marriage must not be delayed any longer."
Speaking of this, Chu Jingting just wanted to skip this topic quickly, and pretended to be unhappy and pouted.
"Auntie, why don't you ask me, whose young ladies are the other four women?"
Knowing that Chu Jingting was unhappy, anyway, those ladies had seen Jing Ting today, and besides, Jing Ting's talent was shining at the banquet, so she didn't have to be too rushed.
"Good, good. Then tell me which of the other four young ladies they belong to. ”
"This Zhang Yan'er is the daughter of Zhang Quan, the deputy general of the Peizhou battalion, Wang Mengqi is the daughter of Peizhou Wencheng, Pang Jingyi, auntie, you know, it is Mrs. Pang's young daughter, and there is another, auntie, you will never guess."
Chu Jingting deliberately bought a pass for Hu Shi to guess.
For the first few young ladies, the family is also noble, and Hu is happy that his daughter can make friends with them.
However, this last one, Jing Ting deliberately stuck, which made Hu Shi also curious.
"With my aunt, I also sell Guanzi, tell me quickly, whose lady is it."
"Auntie, it's Miss Rouge of General Weiyuan's mansion. Rouge is really as good as the name suggests, good-looking and tight. ”
Hearing the name rouge, Hu Shi is slightly familiar.
contacted General Weiyuan's Mansion again, isn't that the rouge that Princess Rongyin came to the door to humiliate Zhou Jingya some time ago.
"Jing Ting, is that rouge the young lady who was brought to the house by the last housekeeper some time ago?"
Chu Jingting hadn't seen the Miss Rouge last time, and she didn't know if it was.
"I don't know, anyway, she followed the princess and called the princess's aunt."
"That's it, Jing Ting, you and this Miss Rouge can make friends."
"This is still said by my aunt, naturally I have already made friends, and Miss Rouge also helped me make friends with those young ladies."
In this way, Hu is also relieved.
Princess Rongyin is the daughter-in-law of General Weiyuan's mansion, General Weiyuan only has two young ladies, one is married to the princess's son, and the one who calls the princess her aunt today must be the unmarried Miss Rouge.
Since the last time, Zhou Jingya made a faceless fuss at Rong Yin, and the backyard has been talking.
Naturally, the Hu family did not show up about this matter, and specially asked someone to inquire about this rouge and General Weiyuan's mansion.
Chu Jingting and Hu, the mother and daughter, talked about the banquet affectionately.
Chu Jingting suddenly thought of what Chu Wentao said at the banquet, felt uncomfortable, and told Hu Shi about it.
"Auntie, you must move around more with Aunt Li in the future."
"Why is that?"
"Today, my talent competition is a tune, who knows that after I got everyone's praise, Chu Wentao on the other side of the screen showed others that I was his sister, which is not important, he openly discussed with others that I am not married."
"Really? Chu Wentao in front of this? ”
"Then there can be a fake, I heard it with my own ears."
Hu Shi was a little angry, but in addition to being angry, he was also a little grateful to Chu Wentao.
Chu Wentao was discussing with others whether Jing Ting was a marriage match, and now all the sons knew that the eldest lady of the Chu family did not have a suitable candidate for marriage, and those who had a good impression of Jing Ting would come to inquire.
Ying'er, who was eavesdropping at Aunt Li's door, looked at no one and went all the way to the old lady's yard.
This cherry blossom is also the old lady's manpower arranged in Aunt Li's yard.
Several young masters in the house are getting older, and in order to cause some unnecessary thoughts because of the fight for family property, the old lady arranged a little maid in Aunt Li's yard.
Because the Zheng family had been snubbed by Chu Changjian before, Chu Wushuang had always been well-behaved, and the old lady did not install anyone in the Zheng family's courtyard.
Although the current Zheng family is favored, he is also very dedicated to himself.
Zhou Jingya has already aroused the disgust of the old lady, and Chu Wenyu is an out-and-out gentleman.
Old Mrs. Chu unconsciously favored the Zheng family in her heart.
After listening to Sakura's message, the corners of the old lady's mouth curled.
With a wave of his hand, let Sakura go.
After sending Sakura away, Mama returned to the house and talked with Mrs. Chu.
"Mama, I used to think that Aunt Li was a little cowardly, but now it seems that this Aunt Li is not cowardly, she is brainless, no wonder Zhou Jingya is so jealous, and she also tolerates their mother and son to live until now."
"Old lady, Madame was also targeting them when she first entered the mansion. It's just that later I had Young Master Yan, and all my thoughts were on Young Master Yan, and I didn't care about Aunt Li's mother and son. ”
"This is this Wen Tao, it's too unusual, how can the eldest sister's marriage be discussed in public? How did Aunt Li usually teach him? ”
"The eldest young master is also thinking about the eldest lady's marriage."
"For the sake of, I don't know what he's thinking? A little clever to think others can't see it? He just wanted to use Jing Ting's marriage to find useful connections for him. When will it be the turn of my Chu family to use my daughter's marriage to get through the connections. ”
Recently, the old lady has been angry more and more, and Mama is worried about the old lady's body and persuades.
"Old lady, the eldest young master may have thought about it for a while, but he can't say."
"Hmph, Wen Tao can't be atmospheric, he can't even enter Taixue, it's better than Wushuang, even Jing Ting has made a face for my Chu family at the banquet today."
Since Chu Wushuang won Chu Changjian's favor from the Zheng family, he also slowly won the favor of Chu Changjian and the old lady, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was actually admitted to Taixue.
The three sons of the Chu family, leaving aside Chu Wenyu, who is unlearned and unskilled, usually watched the filial and honest Chu Wushuang go to Taixue, which also earned some face for the Chu family's generation.
"What the old lady said is that the second young master is indeed very sensible."
However, when talking about Chu Wushuang again, Mrs. Chu thought of one thing: Chu Wushuang's name has not yet been written.
"Mama, this peerless name was originally obtained by the Zheng family, and it has not yet been ranked from this generation, if we have time, we have to talk to the athletes."
In the evening, Zhao Changqing and Zhao Yunchen were afraid of missing it because they were still waiting for the news of Song Dongyang's recruitment, and because of Zhao Yunmeng's sacrifice day, they were not in the barracks for two days.
Zhao Changqing's father and son simply slept in the barracks at night.
Liu was happy all day today because of Rouge's performance at the banquet, which was appreciated by everyone.
"Hazy, Zijun, do you know that our rouge is really powerful today."
There is such a grandmother, even if it is an ordinary rouge, it is a priceless treasure in her eyes, not to mention the rouge of ice and snow's intelligence.
I have long known about the haze that happened at the banquet, and I have to pretend not to know at this moment.
"Grandmother, what's wrong with Rouge today, making you so happy?"
Zhao Zijun also cooperated with his daughter-in-law and asked Liu together.
"You don't know, Rouge's performance today is really outstanding, so he casually drew a picture of Danqing, which was praised by everyone present, which is really amazing."
Rouge rolled her eyes helplessly.
Where is this painted casually, but that painting was painted with great care, otherwise how could it be so easy to make the audience applaud.
But Rouge won't say that.
In Liu's eyes, rouge is the best.
Zhao Zijun smiled when he heard Liu's words of praise for Rouge.
"I'll just say, how smart our family's rouge is, just this simple talent competition, casually draw a picture, and let others marvel. Rouge, you can come to my boat, and I'll hire you to be my painter. ”
Rouge rolled her eyes wide again this time.
"Form, you're too bad, you still want to hire me to work for you, don't even think about it, I only paint my most beautiful grandmother, aunt and sister, I won't draw it for you."
The interaction between the brother and sister made the whole dining room seem happy.
Rong Yin saw what her son said and coughed.
"Zijun, what are you thinking about? Is rouge what you can use in your painting boat? ”
"Zijun, if you want us Rouge to help you, don't even think about it."
Even his own mother and grandmother said this, and Zhao Zijun was deflated all of a sudden.
"Grandmother, mother, these days, the business of the painting boat is sluggish, and without a good painter, my business is not good."
Hearing this, he spoke, but these words were not to comfort Zhao Zijun, but naturally they were also to protect the rouge.
"Husband, the business of the painting boat is not good, it is because you have not worked hard to manage it, and I am counting on you to save more money for the child in the belly."
After saying this, everyone laughed.
Relying on the princess of General Weiyuan's Mansion and Rongyin, how to say it, the children in the hazy belly are free of food and clothing after birth, not to mention that the Zhao family still has shops and houses in the capital, and there are also in Peizhou City. is Rongyin, as the princess liked by the emperor and the queen mother, and there are many rewards every year.
said this dimly, but it was just teasing Zhao Zijun.
Seeing so many people, teasing Zhao Zijun, Rouge's laughter couldn't be held back, and he laughed.
Zhao Zijun himself was not angry, he was originally talking about playing, how dare he really let Rouge go to his own painting boat.
It's just a joke about rouge, and I laughed too.
A large family gathered around the dinner table, it was really a happy and harmonious family.
