Chapter 20: Yin and Yang
Wang Caishun hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not easy to take the exam for an official and a half-job, don't expect too much from Wang Xiaohua, so as not to be disappointed and regret." When looking for a partner, you must pay attention to whether you are in love with this person, whether you can be in love in the future, and if it has nothing to do with wealth and position, please don't be far-fetched. ”
Zhang Lianyu's face sank and said: "That's too, but your cousin's Ling Lang is a Dali Si Zhi, and now he is the minister sent by the emperor to investigate the case, the two swords in your pawnshop were stolen, and Lord Han came to assist, and the day of cracking the famous sword is not far away." If it weren't for the two of you personally coming to the door to propose marriage, my Zhang family wouldn't even dare to think about it. ”
Xiaofang hurriedly said: "Marriage is not a child's play, I have to go to Xiaohua to understand." The two of us were classmates in private school for three years, and in fact, we didn't have to work with our parents to match, and we worked hard to run a trip. After I finished drying my clothes, I went to Xiaohua and asked him clearly. ”
Lan Yupei said nervously: "Xiaohua went to drink a wedding wine with a classmate and friend today, and I can go home in a few days, or three days later, you come to my house to talk to Xiaohua, how about it?" ”
Xiaofang smiled and said: "Don't go to your house, you tell Xiaohua, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the private school to find him, so it's decided, you take the gift back, success or not is a matter between me and Xiaohua, adults try not to get involved." ”
Lan Yupei said in a hurry: "Xiaofang, the gift is not for relatives, it is your credit for catching the thief to recover the jade pendant, and I will give you a thank you gift, please be sure to accept it, this is a little caution of my husband and wife." ”
Xiao Fang said solemnly: "Good things are done at home, and receiving gifts is not considered a good deed, I have done countless good deeds, but I never accept thank you gifts from others, and this time is no exception." Daddy, send Wang Haoren and his wife home! Don't leave a gift behind. ”
Zhang Lianyu heard Ling Ai say this, hurriedly picked up two bags of things, and sent Xiaohua's parents out.
When Wang Caishun and his wife returned home, Wang Xiaohua was so happy that he stepped forward and grabbed Caishun's arm and asked, "Dad, what's wrong, I got the gifts back, was it rejected by Xiaoli?" ”
Lan Yupei stepped forward and grabbed Ling Lang's shoulder and said, "How come? You just wait to be the bridegroom. Xiaofang, this girl loves and hates clearly, and she didn't accept our family's thank you gifts, so she brought them back immediately. ”
Xiaohua was shocked to hear Xiaofang's name, and hurriedly asked: "What are you doing about Xiaofang, the person I want to marry is Xiaoli, you won't hide it from me to find Xiaofang!" ”
Wang Caishun hurriedly said: "Don't worry about melancholy, we went to Xiaoli's parents with a gift, and talked about the lifelong events of the two of you, only to know that Xiaoli's cousin is called Xiaofang, that is, the girl who acted bravely and saved our family's jade pendant, Xiaoli's parents did not accept our gifts, and your father and I took the opportunity to go to see Xiaofang, and wanted to give this gift to Xiaofang as a thank you gift by the way." But I didn't expect that Xiaofang didn't appreciate it, and she didn't accept our thank you gift for anything, and your father and I couldn't resist her, so we went home with the gift. ”
"Oh, I see, did you say when you will get married?" Xiaohua asked nervously.
Lan Yupei laughed and said, "Why are you so anxious? Your father and I want to take advantage of your exam next year to come over and talk about marriage. ”
Xiaohua's face sank and said: "There are three classmates who entered the provincial examination this time, who knows if they can be admitted?" ”
Wang Caishun asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that you are alone?" Why did you add two all of a sudden, who are they? Let's talk about it, analyze and analyze, how many wins there are. ”
Xiaohua said loudly: "My classmate and friend, Zhang Jianshuo, Xiaoli's brother, Jia Zhenxuan, Pingjiang Prefecture Assassin Shi Yu Wensi's nephew, both of them have better grades than me, I don't have much chance of winning, it's better to get married and have children as soon as possible." ”
Lan Yupei whispered: "Sensei is shouting loudly, why don't you hurry up and read the book to prepare for the exam." Even if you can't pass the exam, our huge pawn shop is enough for you to keep busy for a lifetime. Xiaoli has a hand of embroidery skills, after marrying to open an embroidery shop, specializing in Jiangnan embroidery, at the same time to build an embroidery building, recruit a few embroidery girls to come over, set up a family workshop, isn't it quite good. ”
Xiaohua was shocked when she heard that something was wrong, stared at her mother and asked, "Mother, where did you go?" Who said that Xiaoli embroidery skills are good? Xiaoli likes to read and write poetry, usually likes to study herbs and the like, embroidery is just when she has nothing to do, occasionally play needlework. ”
"Oh, that's what my mother said, because the girls in our area of Qionglong will be female red, when I went to her house, I happened to see Xiaoli embroidering a hand towel, embroidered a mandarin duck, the stitches are quite delicate, I estimated, maybe she is good at embroidery."
"Oh, mother, I want to discuss something with you, I want to ask you to come forward to be a matchmaker, I don't know if you are willing?"
"What's the matter, look at your embarrassed appearance, whose matchmaker are you?"
Xiaohua sighed and said: "I just came back from my classmate Jia Zhengong's house, Zhengong told me that he has liked Lin Manying for three years, but he didn't expect that his cousin Yu Zhuxiao also liked Lin Manying, and asked Zhengong to be a matchmaker, and introduced Lin Manying to his cousin, he was distressed beyond words. I casually said that everyone is a classmate, or I will come to protect the media and introduce Lin Manying to Zhen Gong first, Zhen Gong immediately clapped his hands and agreed, but I regretted it, who dares to offend the assassin history of Pingjiang Prefecture? What to do? Mother, just help me! ”
Wang Caishun, who was standing on the side, suddenly changed color and said: "Who told you to be hot-headed and take this errand without permission, now you can only refuse Jia Zhengong, let Zhengong endure the pain and cut his love, and introduce Lin Manying to Yuzhu Xiaode." ”
Xiaohua sighed for a long time: "Zhen Gong can't afford to offend, their uncle Zhang Runhou is an official in the imperial court, I don't know what kind of official, I heard my classmates say that working next to the emperor is not low!" ”
Wang Caishun said worriedly: "Then what do you say?" ”
Lan Yupei hurriedly continued: "Xiaohua, you go to the Pingjiang Prefecture Government Office to discuss with Lord Han, how to deal with this matter?" ”
Wang Caishun shook his head and said, "Lord Han's first task this time is to assist Yu Assassin Shi to solve the case, and the second is to find his sweetheart. I didn't find my sweetheart during the Lantern Festival and March 3, I was depressed and depressed, where did I have the heart to care about Xiaohua's affairs, so I went to disturb him. Xiaohua knocked out his front teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, and introduced the beautiful Zhang Xiaoli to Jia Zhengong, who might like it. ”
Wang Xiaohua was shocked to hear his father's words, and said angrily: "I don't, I don't want to marry Xiaoli in this life, what bad ideas do you come up with." I'll take care of the work myself, and I'll solve it by myself, so I don't have to worry about you, so I'll find Lin Manying. ”
"Who's going to look for me? Didn't I come to your house, tell me something! Lin Manying stood at the door of Xiaohua's house and said gently.
Wang Xiaohua was so surprised that he jumped three feet high, grabbed Manying's wrist and said, "What kind of wind blew you to my house, saving me time, come in the door and say." Three-year classmates, your first time at my house, must be a big deal! ”
Lin Manying followed Xiaohua upstairs, Xiaohua made two cups of tea, brought one to Manying's table and said, "Miss Lin, what is there to find me?" ”
Lin Manying's face was flushed before she spoke, staring at Xiaohua and not knowing how to speak, Xiaohua hurriedly asked: "Look at your face is full of shame, an eighteen-year-old girl is a flower, embarrassed to speak, are you selling yourself door-to-door?" ”
Lin Manying nodded and did not speak. Xiaohua wondered, does Manying like herself? Compared with Xiaoli, Manying is not bad looking, but the family background Manying's family is much better than Xiaoli's family, after all, Manying has a brother who is an official in the imperial court, and his father is a skilled Langzhong, who has cured countless ministers and officials, and also rescued the postpartum diseases of the emperor's concubines. Even the emperor gave him a medal, if he could marry Manying as his wife, maybe it would help his future in the future.
Seeing Xiaohua staring at herself, Manying hurriedly hid her face and whispered: "Classmate, I came to you today to ask you to help me, but I am afraid that if I don't take the initiative to speak, people will be the first." I'm also over eighteen years old, which is not a small number, and I should have a mother-in-law. What do you think? ”
Xiaohua asked in surprise: "Do you want me to be a matchmaker?" Which boy do you fancy buddy? ”
Lin Manying mustered up the courage and said, "You should be able to see it in your private studies, do you want me to speak by myself?" You want to shame me! ”
Xiaohua lowered his head and pondered for a while and said: "It seems that you and he both want to go together, he asked me to introduce you to him, and you also came to ask me to introduce him to you, it seems that the old man has to do it this month." It's out today, and this matchmaker should be decided. When are you going to get married, please tell me a date. ”
Lin Manying replied shyly: "I hope that the sooner the better, the specific day to ask the man's opinion, and the man will choose a good festival." ”
Xiaohua slapped his palm and said: "Okay, happy, I'll go to give you the old man, why don't you wait for me here, or go home first?" ”
Lin Manying said happily: "I'll just go back, wait for the good news, please." ”
"Okay, let's go out together, you go home, I'll go to him, and I'll tell you when the day is chosen."
"Well, okay, thank you."
Wang Xiaohua saw that Manying had gone away, and hurriedly walked towards Jia Zhengong's cloth village. Jia Yihan saw Ling Lang's classmates running over in a hurry, and hurriedly stood up and left the counter to greet him: "Prince Wang, what's the matter, I'm out of breath!" ”
Xiaohua smiled and said, "Your family's happy event is coming, call your son-in-law out!" ”
Jia Yihan hurriedly raised his head and shouted, "Zhen Gong, your classmate is here, hurry up and go downstairs." ”
Jia Zhenxuan was shocked to hear that Xiaohua had come to his house so soon, and he was so happy that he ran down and rushed straight to the counter of Buzhuang, holding Xiaohua's hand tightly and asking, "Is the matter done?" ”
"It's done, it's done, you two are in love, she said the sooner the better, please choose an auspicious day for the zodiac as soon as possible, what's the matter?"
"Okay, I'll tell my father. Pick a good day to tell you, you go and tell the woman. ”
"Okay, this matter is settled, if Ling Lang of the assassination history, your cousin Yu Zhuxiao is to blame, you will have to bear it together."
