Chapter 22: The Sudden Problem of Marriage
Mr. Zhuang has been recuperating very well recently, and he has a pure heart and few desires every day, so his body is gradually improving, although his body is not as good as before after this illness, but the foundation of his body has not completely collapsed, and it is not a problem to walk and talk about the world. Seeing that Zhuang Sheng is over 20 years old, he has reached the age of marrying a wife; Although Yun Yun is young and has not yet reached the age of marriage, she should also settle her family affairs to avoid worries, and she can marry when she is sixteen or seventeen years old. He always said that since he hadn't closed his eyes yet, he still had to worry about these things, so he had recently released the news, and there were often matchmakers or visitors visiting, Zhuang Sheng and Zhuang Yunyun thought that their father was dealing with other things, so they didn't know anything about kissing.
After lunch, Zhuang Sheng sat in the front hall, and Luo Er accompanied him, and felt strange when he saw that he was not like before.
"Luo'er." Zhuang Sheng shouted.
"Young Master, what's the matter?"
"Hmm... You have been going to the capital more recently to see if there are any good locations. Zhuang Sheng said, "It's better to be quieter, and come back and tell me when you're ready." ”
"Master, do you want to buy a house?"
"Hmm. It doesn't have to be too big, it's half of our house. ”
"Master, what's wrong? Isn't it good to live here? ”
Zhuang Sheng glanced at him, shook his head, and read silently, "No matter how good it is, I won't live long..."
Luo'er was puzzled, and saw that Zhuang Sheng didn't look anxious, so she didn't ask anymore.
"Young master, the master told you to go over." A guy ran over and said.
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Sheng remembered again that he happened to have something to do, so he happened to go there.
Zhuang Sheng went immediately, and when he saw that his sister was also there, she looked sad and her face was pink, and he was immediately slightly surprised.
"You're coming," ** said, "Come, you sit too." Zhuang Sheng used to sit on the chair on the left, and he felt ominous when he looked at the pile of letters and other things beside his father.
"I just told Yun'er, you have all reached the age when you should start a family or get married, and your respective mothers have also passed away, while I haven't closed my eyes yet, the one who should marry will be married, and the one who should be married."
Zhuang Sheng was just about to speak, ** interrupted: "Don't say anything, this matter must be decided, otherwise I won't be able to turn a blind eye." ”
Zhuang Sheng didn't say anything, and Yun Yun also lowered her head.
**Pointing to the pile of letters, he said: "These are all handed over from various prefectures, Miss Qianjin, young talents, they are also from famous families, and we are also in the right household." I've already read it, and I have an idea in my heart, so you can see it too, and if it's all right, I'll discuss it further at another date. ”
The two of them looked at this letter, and I am afraid that there were more than ten or twenty letters.
"Alright, take the letter and go," ** said a little tired after saying these words, "I've been tired for a few days, but I'm also busy with this matter, and I won't take care of other things." ”
The two brothers and sisters retreated, Zhuang Sheng didn't care much, only Yun Yun, absent-minded, sad and sad.
Suddenly he was going to choose a young lady for himself to marry, Zhuang Sheng was stunned, so he forgot about Xiao Yu asking him to help, and then remembered that he didn't have the heart to mention it to the old man again, thinking that he had to look at it again after a while, and he had a complicated mind to do other things, so he simply stayed at home and was busy taking care of the housework.
On this day, Yun Yun still didn't smile, sitting in the room in a daze, Zhuang Sheng saw that she hadn't come to play with him for a long time, and felt strange, so he came to see, and when he saw her sad and sad, he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Dad is urging your relatives, aren't you in a hurry?"
"What's the hurry?" Zhuang Sheng said, "I'm close to my family, you're still early, I see you so sad, is it for me or for yourself?" ”
"For you, of course, and for me."
"For me?" Zhuang Sheng said, "You don't have to do it for me, as for you, now it's just a certainty, when it's really time to get married, you have to wait at least two or three years, three or four years, so what's the hurry, what's the anxiety?" ”
"Brother, do you really want to marry so much?"
"It's not that I just want to get married, it's just that the age has come, and my father is urging again, since the woman wants to get married, the man wants to marry a wife, and the two sides are right, then it's done!"
"So sloppy?"
"Haven't they all been like this since ancient times? Parents live, matchmakers say, that's all, and there is no need to pick and choose, so there is no need to work hard. ”
"This is not the case in foreign countries, if two people like each other, one will want to marry, the other will want to marry, and then get married, become husband and wife, and stay together for a lifetime."
"This is not good, if I like this today, I like that tomorrow, and I like another one the day after tomorrow, my life is so long, it is inevitable to meet many people I like, wouldn't I marry home?" Zhuang Sheng smiled, "Only the emperor can." ”
Yun Yun glanced at him and said, "I can't tell you clearly." ”
"There's nothing to say, don't be worried," Zhuang Sheng suddenly whispered, "Forgive my brother for saying something unfilial, Dad's body is estimated to last less than a year, and once Dad's departure is gone, we will be in charge of everything." ”
"You-" Yun Yun frowned, "how can you say such a thing?" ”
"That's just the facts." Zhuang Sheng said, "Okay! Don't say anything, you have a good rest today, and tomorrow my brother will take you out to play. ”
Yun Yun's eyes lit up and asked, "Where to go?" ”
"We'll find out tomorrow."
