Chapter 178: The Yi family is serious
a day ago.
Due to the emperor's illness, he took a day off. Yi Shangshu got up early as usual and made a set of punches in the yard.
At breakfast, Yi Xu led the stupid second master into the door.
Mrs. Yi couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the old and the young, how do these two look like the two of them, no wonder there are rumors outside.
Yi Xu sat at the table and didn't eat, and said to Yi Shangshu directly: "Dad won't go to court today, go and propose to his son!" β
The stupid second master followed and coaxed on the side: "Propose!" Propose! β
Mrs. Yi said: "Don't mess around, eat quickly!" β
Yi Shangshu felt very happy when he heard it: "Knowing that I am proposing, it seems that my son is not stupid." β
"Master, don't listen to him say those stupid things," Mrs. Yi said while putting food for the stupid second master: "Xu'er finished eating, and took the second uncle to go out for a walk." β
The stupid second master eats a lot, and he has to walk after every meal to eat, although there are subordinates in the family, Yi Shangshu and his wife have asked Yi Xu to take care of the second uncle since they were children.
"If Dad doesn't go, I'll go by myself." Yi Xu refused to eat.
"Which girl do you have a crush on?" Yi Shangshu laughed and teased him.
"The eldest lady of the Yu family, her son will not marry her!" Yi Xu's mung bean eyes widened.
Mrs. Yi slapped him on the back of the head in anger and said, "What are you messing around!" Stay at home honestly, don't go out and cause trouble! β
Yi Shangshu stopped his wife and said, "Don't hit him on the head, it's stupid." β
Mrs. Yi said helplessly: "The lord doesn't know, the Yu family has now become a place of right and wrong, fortunately, we have foresight." β
Yi Shangshu usually doesn't pay attention to the private affairs of the children of each family, but because of the big trouble in this matter, he has also heard about it.
After listening to the lady's words, she asked, "What foresight?" β
"Xu'er, this stupid child, has always followed Miss Yu for more than half a year. Later, someone from the Yu family called him once, and I locked him up at home. Who would have thought that it wouldn't be long before Miss Yu had an accident. Speaking of which, I don't blame the girl, it's just that the child's life is too hard, and he has such a thing. Madame Yi sighed a few times.
"I can't see that my stupid son is quite infatuated." Yi Shangshu stretched out his hand to Yi Xu's head and stroked it twice: "Then tell me what you like about other people?" β
"Beautiful!" Yi Xu straightened his chest and said it confidently.
Mrs. Yi couldn't help but hold her forehead, a fool never knew how to be shy when she spoke,
"What else?" Yi Shangshu asked with a smile.
"Kindness." Yi Xu praised the jade Rubi without thinking: "Never dislike me." β
"What else?" Yi Shangshu listened to it with relish.
"Have the guts, dare to go to court." Yi Xu had already stood up at this time: "It's still smart, and Bai Jinglian was cured in a few words." β
"Hmm...... In this way, Miss Yu is really a rare girl. Yi Shangshu nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Yi said on the side: "That's not possible, I heard that many families now go to the Yu family to propose marriage, and they have to marry Miss Yu as a side room." It can be seen that although people fancy her talent, they also know that she has a bad reputation and can't be the wife of the main house. β
"Why not?" Yi Shangshu smiled and asked, "In my opinion, it's very good." β
"Daddy Shengming! Go and propose to me! It's too late. Yi Xu jumped with joy.
"Master, you're confused, aren't you?" Mrs. Yi was a little overwhelmed: "No matter how our family is, we can't marry a woman with a bad reputation to enter the door, right?" β
Her son is stupid, but she can't let people point fingers behind her back because of marrying a wife.
That would be a complete joke.
"Madam, let me ask you, since Xu'er was seventeen years old, you have helped him with his family affairs. After so many years, is there a desirable one? Yi Shangshu asked Madame with a smile.
Madame Yi did not speak, because the answer was obvious.
For so many years, she has been heartbroken for her son's family.
Knowing that his son is stupid, he doesn't dare to touch the ideas of the serious ladies in the noble places.
Not to mention the girls from the knighted family, even the girls of the ordinary five-grade or so officials are not willing to marry fools as wives.
After all, since ancient times, men have been afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
But the daughter of a really lowly family is either greedy for money, or stingy and stubborn, and marrying into the door is equivalent to marrying into a scourge.
When their old husband and wife are gone, they may not be able to treat Yi Xu well, let alone manage their family well and raise their children and grandchildren.
Therefore, the marriage of the young master has been delayed until now.
"Madame, no one is perfect. People in this world are often unsatisfactory, not necessarily because they are really not doing well, but because they want to be perfect too much. Yi Shangshu scraped the rice porridge at the bottom of the bowl with the last small piece of steamed buns, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, wiped the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and said: "If this Miss Yu has a good reputation, will our family Xu'er have a chance?" Appearance is secondary, and talent is not necessary. Her courage and wit alone are enough to be the daughter-in-law of my Yi family, and you know that we can't accompany our son to old age, we must have a reliable person to take care of him, and it is best to keep this home. What's more, the world does not understand that she is innocent, and there is no need to listen to those slanderous words. No matter who it is, after scolding, others always have to bow their heads and pick up their own bowls to eat. The most important thing is to live your own life. β
The major events of the Yi family have always been the master of Yishangshu, of course, there may not be a major event in ten years.
Yi Shangshu is known as the "head of the ghost of clothes", in addition to his smooth handling and never offending people, it is because he can move every time and see opportunities that others can't see.
In the face of the same wind and waves, more people see danger and only think of avoiding it. But he was able to see the good in the crisis and become a profiteer.
"That's what the lord means...... Can this protΓ©gΓ© be mentioned? Mrs. Yi was still a little hesitant.
"Of course you have to mention it, not only to mention it, but also to be extra solemn." Yi Shangshu said: "You go and prepare gifts for door-to-door use, and then invite two official media, and I will go to Yu's house in person early tomorrow morning." β
"Only when you marry the princess of the county can you need your father-in-law to come to the door in person, or I will go tomorrow!" Mrs. Yi said.
"It's not right for you to go, it's still me." Yi Shangshu made up his mind: "If it's just a normal proposal, you will naturally go." But now that Miss Yu is in a difficult situation, we have to give others extra respect. Since you want to marry someone else, you have to treat it as a family, and you can't let your daughter suffer the slightest grievance. I believe that Miss Yu will definitely be grateful to us for this and will not treat Xu'er badly. As long as she is willing to devote herself to our son, let alone just mentioning a kiss, she wants me to personally carry the sedan chair. β
Yu Rubi stood in front of the family temple, and the rain poured diagonally on her.
Yi Xu hurriedly took out a long cloak from his armpit and wrapped it in Yu Rubi, I don't know what material the clothes are made of, and it doesn't rain at all.
"Come back with me," Yi Xu carefully picked up the jade Rubi: "I have been good to you all my life." β
Yu Rubi's cold fingers felt the hot heat of Yi Xu's palm, and for the first time in her life, someone made a promise to her.
