The early morning in early April was still a little cool, but this day, Old Madam Gu got up early in the morning for the first time.

Calling Aunt Xiang, Mrs. Gu told her: "Ah Xian likes to eat lion's head and osmanthus fish the most, and she will cook these two dishes later." ”

Qing Shu looked at her so happy, and didn't sweep away her interest, and echoed and said: "Mother also likes to eat white fungus lotus seed soup, stew it in a pot in the afternoon." ”

Old Madam Gu said with some regret: "It's a pity that Mingzhu didn't come, it would be nice if she brought an official, I haven't seen the child for more than half a year!" ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "There is always a chance to see it." ”

Before lunch, Gu Xian and Shen Shaozhou arrived. Although Shen Shaozhou and Gu Xian looked tired, their expressions were relatively peaceful. But Shen Tao pulled a face, as if someone owed him eight thousand taels.

Gu Xian was shocked when she saw Qingshu: "You kid, why did you grow so tall?" ”

It's a lot longer than the last time I saw it.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Mother, isn't it good to be tall?" ”

The women of the South are more petite, while the women of the North are tall. She was not tall in her previous life, and she was fat, so she was really quasi-round and rainy. However, this life may be the reason for practicing martial arts, she is much taller than in her previous life, and she is about the same height as Feng Xiaoyu.

Gu Xian opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

After lunch, Shen Shaozhou found Qingshu and gave Qingshu a red coral bracelet: "I didn't catch your birthday, I hope you can like this gift." ”

Qingshu took it with both hands: "Thank you, Uncle Shen, I like it very much." ”

Compared with Lin Chengyu and Gu Xian, Shen Shaozhou, the stepfather, cares more about them. In the past few years, she and An An have received gifts from Shen Shaozhou on their birthdays. Last year, she and Shen Shaozhou gave her a flintlock pistol, which was very precious.

Shen Shaozhou asked, "Qingshu, how much do you know about the ninth girl of the Xu family?" ”

Qingshu told Shen Shaozhou everything he had found out about at the moment: "I asked two friends who had contact with Miss Xu Jiu, and both of them said that Xu Qingzhi had a great temper and liked to be competitive. ”

"Have you seen her, then?"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No." The relationship between the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion and the British government is not very good, so I didn't take the post from their government. ”

And she doesn't go out on weekdays, and it's impossible to have a chance encounter or something.

Shen Shaozhou was a little disappointed.

Qingshu said: "Uncle Shen, don't you know Xu Qingzhi's temperament when you say kiss?" ”

"Your Aunt Huo told me that this ninth girl of the Xu family is beautiful, good-tempered, and gentle, so I agreed."

As a result, Qingshu was exactly the opposite of what he said to Mrs. Huo, and he believed Qingshu.

"Have you already agreed?"

Shen Shaozhou frowned and said, "Although it hasn't passed the Geng post yet, there is already a verbal agreement. ”

If there is no sufficient reason, it is not possible to destroy the family. First, he can't afford to offend the Marquis of Xiangyang, and second, he loses his trust in others.

Qing Shu smiled and said, "I think Shen Tao should marry a powerful daughter-in-law, so that he can be brought down." ”

Shen Shaozhou said distressedly: "Your sister-in-law has a strong personality, and after marrying someone with a strong personality, she is afraid that she will be noisy all day long." ”

"It's not easy, split up! Far fragrant and smelly, separated will definitely be able to get along. ”

Shen Shaozhou shook his head and said: "Shen Zhan can't be on his own, and it will take two or three years to split up." ”

With Shen Zhan's current situation, how could Shen Shaozhou rest assured that he was separated.

Qingshu just said that, whether he listened to it or not.

Gu Xian also talked to Mrs. Gu for a while, and waited for Mrs. Gu to get tired before she went back to the room.

Seeing Shen Shaozhou's frowns, Gu Xian asked, "Are you worried about the girl of the Xu family?" ”

Shen Shaozhou told her what Qingshu said just now.

Gu Xian hesitated and said, "Seeing is believing and hearing is false, let's see it and talk about it!" ”

"You don't believe in Qingshu?"

Gu Xian shook her head and said, "It's not that she doesn't believe in Qingshu, it's that she hasn't seen the Xu family's nine girls either, maybe her two friends are prejudiced against the Xu family's nine girls?" ”

Shen Shaozhou shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, Qingshu and An An's two children are independent and assertive, unlike his wife, he should really have a headache: "Qingshu is also sixteen this year, has her family affairs been settled?" ”

Gu Xian said a little uncomfortable: "I just asked my mother, and my mother said that I should take care of Luo Azhan's family affairs, and I don't have to worry about Qingshu's affairs." ”

"I'm her mother, I don't worry about her affairs, who will worry about it?"

Shen Shaozhou said: "You don't know anyone in the capital, you just want to help Zhang Luo, but you can't start!" ”

Not to mention the wife, even the husband and mother-in-law have no connections in the capital, and Qingshu's family affairs are afraid that she will have to solve them by herself.

Gu Xian was silent.

After a day of rest, Shen Shaozhou and Gu Xian took Shen Tao to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion.

When Qingshu returned home, he felt that everyone was overjoyed, and he knew that he was afraid that this family affair had already been settled.

Sure enough, when she returned to the main courtyard, Mrs. Gu said to Qingshu: "I have invited a matchmaker, and I will go to the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion tomorrow to propose marriage." ”

Although Qingshu was a little puzzled, she really didn't care who Shen Zhan married: "It's a matter of my mother's mind." ”

Old Madam Gu said happily: "When Ah Zhan's family affairs are settled, your mother will just follow up on your family affairs." ”

"Grandma, don't tell my mother about it for the time being."

Old Madam Gu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't tell her." I also told her, I know your marriage in my heart, so she doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Qing Shu walked out of the house and saw Shen Zhan in the middle of the courtyard, she nodded to Shen Zhan and prepared to go back to the room.

As a result, Shen Zhan said: "I said some bad things to Lin Qingluan back then, but I was young and ignorant at that time. Besides, I later apologized to you, and my father punished me. But I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded, and you wanted to ruin my marriage because of such a trivial matter. ”

"What?"

Shen Zhan was so angry: "You still pretend to be garlic." Qingzhi is not only beautiful and has a good temperament, but you spread rumors that she is disfigured and slander her for having a bad temperament. Lin Qingshu, you are too vicious. ”

Qing Shu looked at him and said coldly: "A mentally retarded is a mentally retarded, never expect to be smart." ”

Shen Zhan raised his fist, and the fist was clucked by him: "Lin Qingshu, you have the ability to say it again." ”

"Don't slap your face, say kiss."

Before Shen Zhan could react to what was going on, he received a heavy punch in the stomach.

Old Madam Gu heard Shen Zhan's scream like killing a pig, and she was so frightened that the teacup in her hand fell to the ground: "What's the matter?" ”

When he walked out, he saw Lin Fei beating Shen Zhan, and Shen Zhan had almost no strength to fight back.

Old Madam Gu was so anxious that she knocked down her crutches and said, "Lin Fei, stop quickly." ”

It's a pity that Lin Fei didn't listen to her, and she didn't stop until Qingshu opened her mouth.

Qing Shu walked up to Shen Zhan and said with a cold face: "For Uncle Shen's sake, I don't care about you. But if you swing your fist at me next time, I'll have you thrown out. ”

Old Madam Gu's face turned blue in an instant.
