Chapter Twenty-Four: Two Matchmakers
Liu Ting, this name is too familiar to Yao Yilei, a graduate of Jiangdong University, secretary of the Office of the Superintendent, Chen Zikun once trusted her very much, almost all documents and orders passed through her hands, and then I didn't know what happened, so I suddenly resigned to Jiang University as a teaching assistant.
Now that Jian Bing mentioned this person, Yao Yilei naturally understood the reason, Chen Zikun's heirs are not prosperous, and his affairs are busy and flawless, if he changes to someone else, he will marry a large group of female students and female actors to enrich the harem, the master of the family is not keen on this matter, and those who do a big house have to take up this responsibility, Liu Ting is the best candidate, take her into the door, at least she can hook the soul of the master back a little, if she can give birth to a boy and half a girl, it will be better.
"But...... Liu Ting may not agree. Yao Yilei hesitated, she knew it in her heart, this girl must have Chen Zikun in her heart, but she had to leave for some reasons she didn't know, and there was another secret here.
Jian Bing was also very clear in his heart, but said: "Don't care about what happened before, it's been a few years, and you can forget what you should forget, and besides, this family affair may not necessarily go through Liu Ting, isn't Liu Cunren working in the provincial government, go directly to him, who can disobey the words of the matchmaker of his parents." ”
Yao Yilei was a little worried: "Why do I think we are so bad, arranging other people's marriages here." ”
Jian Bing said: "It's not a package, it's a boat that goes down the river, I'll go to Jiangda to inquire first, if Liu Ting has someone else in her heart, forget it, if you don't forget our master, this thing can be done." ”
Without further ado, Jian Bing immediately started, first ran to the principal's office of Jiang University, to learn about Liu Ting's recent situation, the principal Shao Qiuming was a little surprised by Mrs. Chen's sudden visit, and asked about the reason, Jian Bing did not hide it, saying that he wanted to be a matchmaker for Liu Ting, and I don't know if she was in love.
Shao Qiuming said: "Xiao Liu, this child is very low-key in Jiang University, first as a teaching assistant for a period of time, and then took the initiative to apply to be an administrator in the library. ”
After that, Principal Shao laughed: "I, the principal, am also enough to gossip, Madame must not laugh." ”
Jian Bing said: "Care about my subordinates, Principal Shao is a good principal, one day I am free, and I will also go to your school as a teaching assistant to have fun." ”
Shao Qiuming said: "Then let's just say it, haha." ”
Jianbing said: "Where can I see Liu Ting, I haven't seen her for a few years, I don't know if it has changed." ”
Shao Qiuming said: "Madame can stand at the window, the canteen is cooking at this time, Liu Ting will definitely come." ”
Sure enough, when the cafeteria was about to close, Liu Ting came, wearing a simple cotton skirt, a white scarf, fair skin and a slender figure, walking alone on the road, like a lonely swallow.
"I see pity, not to mention the old slave ......," Jian Bing sighed.
Shao Qiuming laughed behind his back.
After implementing the matter, Jian Bing made another call and called Liu Cunren from the provincial government secretary department to the house.
Liu Cunren received the notice, his heart was extremely worried, although he had dealt with Chairman Chen in his early years, but he had not met in the past two years, let alone been to Chairman Chen's house, it was a blessing or a curse, and he could not avoid it, he entrusted the work at hand to his colleagues, called a rickshaw and hurried to the official residence on Fenglin Road.
The door guard has received an order, directly put Liu Cunren in, the two ladies have been waiting in the living room, seeing that Lao Liu is coming, hurriedly got up to greet him, looked at the seat, poured tea, shh
Liu Cunren is wearing a blue cloth cotton robe today, with a tap pen pinned to the placket, a silver pocket watch chain, his hair is very clean, and his speech and demeanor look like he is from a scholarly family, Yao Yilei and Jianbing glanced at each other and felt satisfied.
Yao Yilei said: "Section Chief Liu, taking the liberty of inviting you to come, it is actually a private matter, Sister Jianbing and I want to help your daughter be a matchmaker." ”
Liu Cunren suddenly brightened up, and after doing it for a long time, he said: "Thank you two ladies, it's just the marriage of this child, I may not be able to call the shots as a father, you also know, Ting'er is a college student, and she teaches at the university, and she is used to being free, no ...... than the daughters of those small families."
Jian Bing chuckled: "It's just a matchmaker, and it's not an arranged marriage, Section Chief Liu is too worried." ”
Liu Cunren also felt that he had overreacted, in his mind, the eldest daughter was the pride of the family, knowledgeable, although he couldn't talk about Sai Xi Shi Diao Chan, but she was also beautiful and graceful, if the two ladies wanted to be a matchmaker for a fat-brained official, let their daughter be an aunt's wife, even if they lost this job, they would not agree.
"So, I don't know who the other party is?" Liu Cunren cautiously raised this question, and was ready to politely decline.
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing glanced at each other again, and said in unison: "It's our Chen family." ”
"The Chen family?" Liu Cunren is confused, could it be that Chairman Chen still has a brother? I haven't heard of it...... Suddenly, he suddenly realized that the Chen family that Mrs. was talking about was not Chen Zikun himself, and after a long time, the two ladies were going to marry their husbands!
Even the former provincial chairman and current minister of the Central Committee, Liu Cunren does not want to bury his daughter's happiness, his aunt's wife is inferior, and his daughter is a dignified graduate of Jiang University, how can she do this thing, but then again, since the other party is Chen Zikun, it is different.
Daughter's thoughts, how unclear is the father, Liu Ting has long liked Chairman Chen, but she is forced to dare not confide in various pressures, in the past few years, she is not no one in Jiangda to pursue, in the face of those young talents, Liu Ting refused, home to school, two points and one line, never dress up, eyes are twenty-six years old, put aside ordinary people are old girls who can't get married, Liu Cunren is not in a hurry.
Seeing that Liu Cunren didn't answer for a long time, Yao Yilei thought he was unwilling, so she said: "Section Chief Liu, I'm not afraid of your jokes, our sisters don't have a good stomach, so we want to marry another sister to the master, and we can't look down on others, when Liu Ting was in the office, he was careful and proper, we all liked him, although he entered the door later, but our Chen family didn't have an aunt's wife, they were all equal......"
Jian Bing also said: "Section Chief Liu, our master has always had a good impression of Liu Ting, presumably Ling Yan also has a soft spot for the master, but the two of them are stuffy gourds, and they have words to hold in their hearts, and a good marriage just flew like this, I know clearly that their temper is too stuffy, and those who don't know think that my sister and I are beating mandarin ducks." ”
When it came to this, Liu Cunren had no choice but to say: "Thanks to the two ladies, I will discuss it with my family." ”
Yao Yilei said: "Without further ado, housekeeper, prepare a car to send Section Chief Liu back." ”
Jian Bing said: "I have prepared a bag of clothes and snacks for children here, let's take them back with me." ”
Liu Cunren thanked him, got up to say goodbye, walked to the door and suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "Excuse me, is this matter Minister Chen's meaning, or is it ......?"
Yao Yilei smiled: "Without his approval, do we dare to be this matchmaker." ”
……
Liu Cunren returned home and told his wife about it, but unexpectedly, his wife immediately agreed.
"Master, you come with me." His wife led Liu Cunren to the west wing where her eldest daughter lived and unlocked the door with a key.
"Where did you get the key?" Liu Cunren said curiously.
"You don't care about this." The wife pushed the door in, walked to her daughter's desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out a large stack of newspaper clippings, all of which were reports about Chen Zikun.
Liu Cunren was shocked, only knowing that his daughter had a good impression of Minister Chen, but he didn't expect it to be obsessed.
The wife said: "The daughter's unrequited love has been for several years, you don't know that you are a father, it is said that Ting'er should marry into a high-ranking family as the main house, but she doesn't want to, it's not a way to consume it so much, since the Chen family has mentioned it, let's not be hypocritical, hurry up and agree, get married as soon as possible, let's wait to hold our grandson." ”
Liu Cunren was still a little hesitant.
"What else do you want, Chairman Chen is young and promising, dignified, and a member of the Central Committee, worthy of our daughter." His wife is much more decisive than him.
Liu Cunren shook his head: "Let's wait for Ting'er to go home." ”
Waiting until half past six in the evening, Liu Ting came back from work, and as soon as she entered the house, she went into her room, and Liu's mother called her to eat, and replied that she had eaten at school.
Liu's mother went out and pulled her daughter to the hall, Liu Cunren drove several children out, and said very seriously: "Ting'er, you are not too young, it's time to start a family." ”
Liu Ting's face was expressionless: "I will never marry in my life." ”
Liu's mother was anxious: "Daughter, you are twenty-six years old, you can't live at home for a lifetime, now there is a family, it's not bad, my mother thinks it's very suitable......"
"I won't marry if I die, if you force me again, I'll die for you." Liu Ting, who is usually very supple, turned out to be extremely tough, and her voice was also sharp.
There were a few eyes lying on the crack in the door, and the younger siblings were peeking.
Liu Cunren coughed dryly and said, "Ting'er, you know this family, it's Minister Chen." ”
Liu Ting's eyes widened and she looked stunned.
Mother Liu hit the railway while it was hot: "Chairman Chen is in his thirties, he is decent, there is nothing to say, you don't suffer a loss when you marry, we are not the kiln sister, the kind of drama that has no ink in the stomach, just rely on the fox to coax the man's master, my family Ting'er is a high-achieving student of Jiang University, and has been a secretary, after entering the family, he is a virtuous helper, no one can compare to you." ”
Liu Ting bowed her head and was silent.
Liu Cunren knew that his daughter was thin-skinned, and she reacted so violently just now, and now she suddenly agreed to be embarrassed, so she said: "Ting'er, you also think about your father's brother and sister, your younger brothers and sisters are getting bigger and bigger, and the house at home is not enough to live in, you marry out early, your father and mother have a wish, besides, the two wives of Minister Chen's family are very virtuous, and this marriage is still mentioned by the two wives." ”
Liu Ting suddenly raised her head: "Does Chen Zikun know?" ”
