Chapter 476 Lifetime Event
9oo24983
The Garden Alley suddenly attracted a large number of cavalry. And then the fork came... convoy of vehicles. A group of equally heavily armed soldiers got up and down from the convoy of Tsui Lian, and then walked into an inconspicuous courtyard house by the alley with large bags and small boxes, which was enough to make the parties frightened and inexplicable.
The most frightened and inexplicable person is probably the old father of Miss Cuiyi, this old man is a former Qing Xiucai, who has been tested for a lifetime of fame, and in the end, in addition to exchanging for a "Fu Xiucai." Almost nothing was given other than the honorific title of the countryside.
It is precisely because of his own fame that Han Xiucai pinned all his thoughts and hopes on his son Han Gongzi, looking forward to the Han family coming out of a lifter, and even entering the scholar, but in the end, in exchange for the Qing court's edict to abolish the imperial examination, although the imperial court also opened a special economic department, but for Han Gongzi, who has read the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" all his life. The content of the exam for the special subject of economics is tantamount to charming. It's just a glance, and you're already dizzy, where can you still get fame? "So. Like those old-fashioned literati, Han Xiucai wept bitterly for several days and nights over the abolition of the imperial examination. Although it has not yet reached the point of hanging himself, but that breath did not catch his breath, and he almost drove to the west, after a serious illness, the old man also figured it out, this year is still important to earn silver, as for the section of fame, there is, of course good, no, but not afraid, it is a big deal to buy a fame after having money.
Thereupon. The old man not only sent Han Gongzi to Changsha to learn to do business, but also sent the pearl of the palm Cui Yi girl to Changsha to study in a new school, in any case, the future of the next generation is the most important, since the career path is not possible, then take the business road, as for the future of the baby girl, the old man has also arranged, she is willing to marry a person of course the best, if you really don't want to cry to the old man until dawn, then Han Xiucai is not reluctant to have a young daughter, but the person who marries can't be a poor boy.
understands this, and understands why Han Xiucai immediately set off for Beijing after learning that his daughter was looking for a son-in-law in the capital, and the old man wanted to see this with his own eyes. What kind of person is the future son-in-law of the "right family", how much wealth does he have, the old man has been poor all his life, and he doesn't want to gnaw those few acres of thin fields in the countryside anymore, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrived in Taiwan, this moose food has no whereabouts, so ah, this girl can't follow the poor boy to suffer.
Han Xiucai arrived in Beijing the afternoon before yesterday, as soon as he arrived in Beijing. The old man's heart was half relieved, and the reason was very simple, because this courtyard house was bought by the future son-in-law and given to Cui Yi, and the old man also saw the deed with his own eyes, and took the title deed to the civil affairs office. Buy small. It is better to say that he wanted to rob, and in the end Han Xiu fled with his son, of course, the title deed was tightly held in the sleeve by the old man, and after going back, he immediately found a blacksmith to open a Xiaoyang iron box, put the title deed in the box, and then found a corner in the courtyard to dig a pit, wrapped the iron box with several layers of tarpaulin and buried it properly, and then sighed.
It seems that the daughter said well in the letter, and the future son-in-law of the Han family is indeed "the right person". The son of the rich family, Miss Baichaicai's daughter, the old man of this family is already a little unreasonable, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't lack arms and legs, the old man is also a showman, and the daughter of this Xiucai family is not someone who can marry if she wants to.
So. Since yesterday, the old man has been sitting in front of the porch of the hall when he has nothing to do, and his son has dragged him to visit the capital, but he refuses to go, under the pretext of basking in the sun, in fact, he is staying here. See when the matchmaker comes over. The girl said that the matchmaker would arrive in two days, so the old man would block in front of the hall and wait for the matchmaker to come. Count a few words first, after all, a girl's family found a satisfactory husband outside without saying a word, this matter can't be said anyway, and Han Xiu only knows the temper of her daughter. I was reluctant to scold, so I had to find someone else to be angry, this matchmaker who came to the door to propose marriage was the best target to vent, and the old man was planning to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.
When she got up early this morning, Cui Yi went out, and when she came back, she told the old man that the matchmaker would come to the door today. As a result, the old man sat in front of the hall from early in the morning, and ordered his son to accompany him. Both of them have books in their hands, one is "Female". One is the "Almanac", the former is used to teach the girl at the right time, and the latter is used to recommend the auspicious day of the marriage with the matchmaker.
Originally. Han Xiucai also ordered the girl to wait in the hall behind her and not go anywhere, but when the gallop of the cavalry and the sound of the army's password came from the garden alley, the girl Cui Yi blushed, escaped from the hall, and hid in the boudoir.
The old man is not stupid, through the crack in the door of the courtyard gate, he saw a group of soldiers gathering in the alley, and then thought of his daughter's actions, the old man immediately understood, it turned out. This future son-in-law is an officer, and looking at this posture, the rank is not low.
It turns out that the girl has found an officer to be her husband, this show is civil, and the officer is martial, so isn't it both civil and military? This time, the old man was happy, but then he began to worry again, because this officer was going to fight, and the current situation was not very peaceful, and there were no eyes on the battlefield, in case there was a mistake. This future son-in-law was killed, so wouldn't the girl have to suffer? Even if you can't die, if you are blown up by that foreign cannon and you lose your arms and legs, it will be a big bad thing.
In this way, the old man was suddenly preoccupied, and after sitting back on the bench in front of the hall, his face remained collapsed. x interstitial s ad time
Soon, however, the old man's expression changed from depressed to horrified, for the soldiers swaggered open the hidden courtyard door and went straight into the patio without even knocking on the door.
This is against the law of etiquette, the old man was shocked and inexplicable.
What made the old man even more horrified was still to come, and after the group of soldiers who were heavily armed and holding gifts walked into the patio, they lined up on both sides and stood on both sides. A young officer in a military uniform strode up to Han Xiucai, glanced at Xiucai, and then bowed deeply to Xiucai. When he straightened up, it was a big and unpolite self-introduction.
"Hello, Mr. Han. Qiao'er has shown me your picture before, and I recognize you, so don't be surprised. As for the contemptible, the scientific name is Zhao Bei. The word Zhenhua is now the president of the Republic of China, and. I am also about to become Mr. Han's son-in-law, but now, my identity is neither the president of the Republic of China. It's not the son-in-law of the Han family, my identity is now a matchmaker, I came to visit for the marriage of Qiao'er girl Hua Jingsheng, hoping that Han Busheng can agree to tattoo the door. For the lifelong happiness of Mr. Zhao Zhenhua and Miss Qiao'er, please be sure to agree to this family business. If Mr. Han has no objection, then this grand and solemn wedding will be held at the Presidential Palace, and domestic and foreign guests will be present to witness the wedding. ”
The other party's words revealed three meanings: first, this person is the husband of Miss Cuiyi, and judging from the fact that he directly called Cuiyi's nickname, the relationship between this person and Cuiyi is already very close; second, this person is informal, he is also a matchmaker, so generously he went to the Han family to propose marriage; Third, this person is Zhao Bei, the current president of the Republic of China, this can no longer be called "the right person", this is called "climbing high branches" If Han Xiucai agrees to this family business, then in the future, his Han family will be the national ruler, and the Han Gongzi with the same expression has also become the uncle of the country, this Han family will be the emperor's relatives in the future.
In fact, as soon as the other party entered the patio, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and then listened to the other party's self-introduction, the old man suddenly remembered, yes, this person is the president of the Republic of China, and now his bust has been hung everywhere, even Beijing Daqianmen Railway Station also hangs such a bust, the bust is as big as the city gate, when the net arrived in the capital, it really made the old man have a long insight.
"You...... Shrugged"
The old man froze on the bench, unable to speak for a long time, and the book "Female" in his hand actually fell at his feet, but he didn't realize it, for a while, the courtyard of the courtyard was surprisingly quiet, and after a while, he heard a slight "creaking" sound, but it was the girl's boudoir door that was opened from the inside, and a beautiful black eye was looking curiously at the strange "matchmaker" behind the door
Zhao Bei turned his head to look at the wing. Grinning, he squeezed his eyes at the crack in the door, which disappeared immediately, but soon the crack reappeared, this time with a different eye.
"Ahem! Cough! ”
Cai Crocodile, the deputy commander of the 6th Army of the Republic of China, who followed the president into the patio, saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange, so he coughed twice and broke the silence at the scene.
"Mr. Han, if you agree to disagree with this family business, you are nodding."
Lan Tianwei, who was standing beside Vice Chief Cai, took two steps and shouted a few words in Han Xiucai's ear, this voice was neither high nor low, just enough to make the old man come back to his senses from his horror.
"This,,this,"
Although the old man came back to his senses, his mouth became very clumsy, but the future uncle reacted a little faster. So he said a word.
"Qiao'er, this girl, why is she so ignorant? I don't talk about anything to my family, and I usually don't talk about other things when I send letters back. Knowing that the president was coming, we had to put down the incense table and kneel in front of the door no matter what. ”
Han Gongzi finished these words. He lifted the hem of his robe, as if he wanted to kneel down to greet the president.
At this moment, Han Xiucai also reacted, and his body fell down; Bend your legs. I was about to kneel on the ground.
It's still Zhao Bei's quick eyes. An arrow stepped over and hugged the old man, but Cai Yi on the side was a step slower, and the future uncle knelt down.
"You two, this can't be helped."
Zhao Bei smiled bitterly, originally he planned to gag and meditate to fool the matter of this marriage proposal, but now this old and young man knelt down like this, which suddenly made his original battle plan impossible to implement.
"Make, make! Now it's a republic, and this president has gone past the emperor. How can there be any reason for the emperor to come to the door to propose marriage? In the past, it was a big disrespect, a big disrespect for the villains. If the president takes a fancy to the little girl and sends someone to inform him, how dare the villain work with the president? In the past, the emperor drafted a girl, and there was no reason to send any matchmakers. ”
Han Xiucai said a few clueless words, and immediately turned the president into a shameless emperor who robbed the people's daughters, which made everyone present smile bitterly, until the voyeur in the boudoir slammed the door shut, but he didn't know if he was angry.
After all, it's a republic now. Although this president is the head of the country and the leader of the people, he is not the emperor after all, and President Zhao Da does not look down on the emperor's style.
"Mr. Han, put it this way. Do you agree with this family business? Well, it's settled, you have chosen an auspicious day, and I will send someone to greet you. Now it's inconvenient for me to meet Qiao'er, so I'll entrust her to you. If you don't have anything else to order, I'll take my leave, and now I'm busy with official business, and I really can't delay here, no, the United Front Party Congress will be held in a few days, and I have to arrange the schedule of the meeting. Mr. Han, ah no, it should be my father-in-law, if you have any orders, this is my business card, and I will also send a few guards here to protect your old man's house, you can talk to me directly. ”
Zhao Bei didn't hesitate, he simply got off the donkey, helped the old man back to the bench, then took a special business card and handed it over, stuffed it into the old man's palm, glanced at his brother-in-law Han Gongzi who had been helped up by his subordinates, smiled faintly, and then bowed to Han Xiucai again, and then led the soldiers out of the courtyard, leaving only those pro-family gifts.
"Daddy, Daddy! People are gone, don't be stunned, come out with me to send them off. ”
Seeing that the president turned around and left. Han Gongzi was excited, and hurriedly helped Han Xiucai up, and the two of them rushed out of the courtyard door in a few steps and stood in front of the door. It was also a bow until the convoy left the alley. The two of them realized that they were sweating, and this face was also ruddy, but they didn't know whether they were excited or nervous. "This, this is a proposal?" Han Xiucai returned to the patio, looked at those strange rituals and things, and muttered to himself. x interstitial s ad time
Han Gongzi said, "Dad." You don't know? This president has a detailed name. ”
"What's the hun number?"
"Far Eastern madman. This is still the Zen name given by foreigners. ”
Han Xiucai was stunned again, no wonder the other party is doing things so strangely, and the other party still has such a detailed number, although this foreigner's practice of giving people a detailed number is not in line with etiquette, but this evaluation is also appropriate.
Anyway, this family affair is decided, Cui Yi is about to leave the cabinet and marry a wife, as for whether she will live happily in the future, Han Xiucai is powerless.
But one thing is certain, that is, from now on, the Han family will carp jump the dragon gate, and in the future, the Han family will be the prominent family of the Republic of China.
The hardest thing in the world to guess is the human heart. Han Xiu understands this.
