Chapter 749: Marriage Proposal
Nowadays, when discussing marriage, most of the men invite the official media to go to the woman to propose marriage. If a woman likes a man, she will also behave more subtlely and tactfully. It is really rare for a woman to take the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage.
In a few days, official media came to the door to propose marriage to Cheng Wang. As Cheng Wang's sister-in-law, Zhao was excited from the beginning, but later felt a headache.
Those who took the initiative to come to the door were all family members who had sons and daughters who were military generals in the border army. I thought that I was familiar with Cheng Wang, and I fell in love with Cheng Wang's character, urging my family to take the initiative to get married. So as not to miss the affectionate and righteous Cheng military doctor.
This is sad for the Zhao family.
One by one, who should I do?
The Zhao family had to go to the Pingguo Mansion again to discuss the matter with Cheng Jinrong.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into Lingyun Pavilion, he saw that Mrs. Tai was also there.
"Coincidentally", there is also a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old woman next to Mrs. Tai. This woman was born quite beautiful, with a dignified expression and elegant dress.
Mrs. Tai said, "Mrs. Cheng came at the right time. This is the girl from the side branch of our He family, and she is the fifth in the family. Her husband died on the battlefield a few years ago, and she returned to her parents' home and remained widowed for a few years. I never go out and walk around on weekdays. I've been bored and panicked for the past few days, so I asked Wu Niang to come to the house to live for a few days and talk to me. ”
"In terms of seniority, Jinrong should also call her a cousin."
"Wu Niang, you come to see Mrs. Cheng. This is Jinrong's aunt and Jinyi's mother. ”
Zhao: "......"
Zhao was a little confused. Why did a He Wuniang suddenly appear?
Zhao and Cheng Jinrong quickly glanced at each other. Cheng Jinrong smiled helplessly and nodded slightly.
That's right, this He Wuniang has been living in the Pingguo Mansion for three days. Mrs. Tai didn't say anything, she just took He Wuniang to sit for a while every day. It also means that she should take the opportunity to look at each other.
It turns out that Uncle is so sought-after. Even Mrs. Tai used the trick of "the building near the water gets the moon first".
Zhao came to his senses, secretly laughed in his heart, and quietly greeted He Wuniang.
He Wuniang was able to be picked by Mrs. Tai, which is indeed a bit outstanding. She was gentle and quiet, and did not say much, and after the salute, she sat aside.
Zhao glanced at it without a trace, then withdrew his gaze and gossiped with Mrs. Tai with a smile.
Mrs. Tai smiled: "You came to the door on purpose, you must have something to discuss with Jinrong." I'm not in your sight, my wife, and I'll go around the garden. With that, he stood up.
He Wuniang also got up together and left with Mrs. Tai's arm.
……
After Mrs. Tai and He Wuniang left, Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed with a smile: "Jinrong, I originally planned to invite the official media to come to the door and inquire if there is a suitable one first." Your eldest uncle wants to pick a girl from the Xinglin family for your father, and when he gets married in the future, he and your father have the same interests, and they can talk together. ”
"I didn't expect that at your father's age, so many people took the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage. It is also the home of military generals and nobles. In the past few days, I have been thinking about it, and I can't eat or sleep. ”
"It's worrying that you can't marry a daughter-in-law, there are too many candidates for this person, and it's also a headache! Whoever responds will offend the others. ”
"I came here to discuss with you today, but I didn't think that Mrs. Tai brought another He Wuniang. You say, what the hell should I do? ”
Cheng Jinrong also smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from my aunt, I didn't expect things to turn out like this." My grandmother didn't say anything about it, but she took this cousin to dangle in front of my eyes from time to time...... Let's not talk about this first, how many families have come to propose marriage in the past few days? ”
Zhao has an excellent memory, and counted them one by one with his fingers: "There are five in total." It should be a military general who is familiar with your father, write a letter to tell the family about this, and let the family take the initiative to get married......"
Well, with He Wuniang, that's six.
The official media are sloppy, and their mouths are full of praise and good words. In the end, what is the appearance and temperament, you have to see one or two sides.
Cheng Jinrong listened carefully and pondered silently.
Zhao talked for a long time, and his throat and eyes were about to smoke. Picking up the teacup at hand, he drank the tea in one gulp: "Anyway, that's it." I didn't respond for the time being, saying that I would have to think about it for a while before replying. ”
"I estimate that in ten and a half days at most, there will be more official media to ask for letters. You need to think about it now, and what you're going to do when the time comes. ”
Cheng Jinrong also had a headache, and said in a low voice: "There are so many people, do you want to look at each other one by one?" If there is a rumor about this, I am afraid that people will laugh at it. ”
"If you don't look at each other, how to decide the family affairs?" Zhao said helplessly: "You can't just listen to the official media!" See is always to see. ”
Cheng Jinrong nodded in agreement.
The two then continued their deliberations.
"You don't have to see all of them." Cheng Jinrong thought for a moment and said: "First of all, according to what my father said in the letter, the door is too high, so I politely declined." Too young, also euphemistically excused. ”
In this way, three of the six can be crossed out first. There are three left, and then look for opportunities to see each other one by one.
Zhao nodded, then sighed with a smile: "Others want to marry a girl from a wealthy family, or a young and beautiful girl." Your dad is different from others. ”
Cheng Jinrong didn't care, and said with a smile: "If my father was such a frivolous and shallow person, he would have continued the strings a long time ago, and he would not wait until today." Husband and wife can respect each other, have similar temperaments, understand each other, and live a life together. These are more important than a rich dowry and a family. ”
Zhao thought for a while and said with a smile: "When you say that, I think He Wuniang is good." I don't know what her temperament is, but she has a gentle temper that looks like a face. ”
Cheng Jinrong smiled helplessly: "My father-in-law must have mentioned this matter to my grandmother in the letter, so my grandmother led her to me so quickly." I, as a daughter, really provoked my stepmother for myself. ”
This was said wittily and interestingly, and Zhao smiled knowingly: "There is nothing wrong with this. ”
"You have to trust your vision, and I can trust it."
"He Wuniang, you pay more attention. The other two, I privately looked for an opportunity to meet the previous one. When I've seen it, I'll talk to you again. ”
Zhao said, laughing again: "No matter which family affair is decided, in short, your father's marriage this year is a certainty." Now you can slowly prepare. ”
Cheng Jinrong pursed his lips and smiled.
Yes, it's always a good thing that my father is so "sought-after".
The sun is warm, the spring scenery is gorgeous, and the mood is just right.
After the Zhao family left, the porter handed a post and a letter to him: "Mrs. Qiqi Shizi, this is the Luoyang Lu family's greetings." It was personally sent by the Lu family's housekeeper, and a letter from the Lu family's eldest lady was also sent. ”
