Chapter IV
Seeing Wen Zhili sitting obediently opposite her, the old lady smiled more and more kindly. He Luo stayed on the side and didn't dare to come out, he just wanted to minimize his sense of existence and let the old lady treat her as an invisible person.
"Li'er, grandmother didn't want to mention this, but she felt uncomfortable not mentioning it. The children of these other families have become fathers at your age, and you are twenty-five years old and have not yet married. Grandmother knows that you are all devoted to the court, so naturally you don't have these love and love skills, but grandmother also wants to hold her great-grandson as soon as possible. You also know that your mother left early, and your father is now recuperating in his hometown, and there is not even a decent hostess in this huge Wen Mansion, is it possible that you have to let your grandmother take care of the family at a young age? The old lady almost burst into tears.
"Grandmother, grandson knows in my heart that I will find a suitable candidate." Wen Zhili replied in a warm voice.
"What do you know? Every time I mention this to you, you say that you know it in your heart, and it has dragged on to this age. The big and small things in the house are now handled by Wende, and he is also old, so it is impossible to work like this all the time, and his grandmother is also more than willing to do it. It's just that the affairs in your own yard are handled by the two maids, Chunxiao and Heluo, and the affairs of the house can't be handed over to them, right? After the old lady finished speaking, she glanced at He Luo, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
When the old lady saw it, He Luo's head hung lower, and she only hoped that Wen Zhili would deal with this matter quickly and leave here as soon as possible. The atmosphere here was too heavy for the old lady, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"Grandmother, just two maids, naturally can't be the master of the Wen Mansion. Your grandchildren will take it seriously, so please rest assured. After Wen Zhili finished speaking, he smiled at the old lady obediently.
"You don't have to look for it yourself, I have collected the portraits of school-age women from famous families in this neighborhood, you go back to see which girl is suitable, go back and talk to your grandmother, and we will go to the door to propose." After the old lady finished speaking, she instructed the maid on the side, "Qiao'er, go and get the portrait." ”
Qiao'er answered and went to get the portrait, only to see Qiao'er come back and put many scrolls on the table between Wen Zhili and the old lady. The old lady smiled and picked up a portrait, opened it and said to Wen Zhili: "Just look at it from me, otherwise you won't look at it after you take it back." ”
"Grandmother, I'll see it myself when I get back, so don't bother." Wen Zhili said as he took the portrait and put it away again and put it on the table. Then he glanced at He Luo, He Luo knew what he meant, although he was reluctant in his heart, he also smiled and said, "Old lady, the slave will take the painting back." ”
The old lady glanced at He Luo dissatisfiedly and said, "A maid is so unruly, did I let you take it?" ”
He Luo withdrew his hand in embarrassment, knelt on the ground and said, "The slave knows her mistake. ”
It seemed that she didn't expect the old lady to target He Luo so much, Wen Zhili said: "Grandmother, why do you want to be angry with a maid? Besides, this girl's lack of rules is also because her grandson didn't teach her well, so you blame your grandson. ”
Wen Zhili spoke, and the old lady had no reason to embarrass He Luo, so she could only say: "Get up, don't be so unruly next time." ”
"Thank you, old lady, the slave must follow the old lady's teachings." After speaking, he stood up and waited aside without speaking.
Wen Zhili glanced at He Luo, and then said gently to the old lady: "Grandmother, my grandson still has some official business to deal with, and I have to go back." Rest well and watch your body. ”
After speaking, he said to He Luo: "He Luo, take the portrait." ”
When He Luo heard this, he was like a pardon, and he held the portraits neatly with his hands and feet, and stood behind Wen Zhili, who had already gotten up.
Wen Zhili looked at He Luo's performance, shook his head with a smile, and said to the old lady: "Grandmother, I also took this portrait of my grandson, and I promised you to go back and think about it, now you are relieved, right?" If nothing else, the grandson will step back. ”
"Okay, you stand down. Remember to take a closer look and give me an answer as soon as possible. Wen Zhili said hello and left with He Luo.
He Luo silently held the painting and followed behind Wen Zhili, and after leaving the old lady's courtyard for some distance, He Luo let out a long breath, feeling that the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
"You don't seem to be very good at dealing with old ladies." Wen Zhili said to He Luo half-jokingly.
"Slaves are really not good at it." He Luo admitted very directly.
"You're straightforward." Wen Zhili smiled.
"The old lady doesn't like the slave maid and Sister Chunxiao for a day or two, and the slave and maid feel that they can't hide it from the master, so naturally there is no need to beat around the bush." He Luo paused when he said this, "Now that Sister Chunxiao has finally found her home, she is about to get married." The old lady will only double all her dissatisfaction on me in the future, how can the slave be good at it? If I don't marry again, my name as a vixen in the eyes of the old lady will be confirmed. ”
Wen Zhili stopped and looked at her carefully for a while, and shook his head: "The posture is mediocre, and it is almost impossible to be a fox spirit." ”
Although he knew that his appearance was mediocre, but being pointed out by Wen Zhili like this, He Luo was still a little unhappy. She muttered with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not as good-looking as my master, and I'm not too bad." ”
Wen Zhili listened to her words, and the corners of his mouth curled. Then, as if thinking of something, he glanced at He Luo and said, "How do you think of people's abilities?" ”
He Luo didn't understand why Wen Zhili suddenly asked this, but he also replied honestly: "It's not good, but it's not bad!" ”
Wen Zhili looked at her and smiled softly: "I'm relieved." You can take these portraits back and look at them, and tell me who you think is easier to deal with, and I will tell the old lady again. ”
"Master, it's you who want to marry. How to choose a slave? He Luo's eyes widened in surprise.
"It's just a chess piece, it's the same for anyone to marry, I don't need to waste time on this. Besides, you know best what kind of people I need the most right now. Wen Zhili turned around and left.
He Luo frowned and thought for a while, but she still didn't understand what Wen Zhili wanted, but she didn't need to think too much, as long as she did the task assigned by Wen Zhili, she would return. Thinking of this, He Luo hurriedly followed Wen Zhili in front.
