After Qin Nanfeng returned to Qin's house, the inner eunuch in the palace then arrived and summoned Qin Huanli into the palace.

When Qin Huanli went, his face was ordinary, and he only thought that the official family had something to deal with with him.

When I came back, my face was a little unsightly.

He didn't go to the study either, and went straight back to the main courtyard.

Zhao Zhongzhu was under the corridor, it was a sunny day, and she asked the maid to take out all the covers at home to dry.

When she saw Qin Huanli coming back suddenly, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Didn't the master go to the palace?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Qin Huanli didn't say anything, just entered the room and sat down on a chair.

Zhao Zhongzhu saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly followed: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

"Prepare yourself." Qin Huanli opened his mouth in a calm voice: "Find a matchmaker and handle your son's family affairs." ”

"Feng'er's family?" Zhao Zhongzhu couldn't understand: "Whose girl is it?" What did the lord say? I don't understand, Feng'er has never looked at a girl from any family, what kind of family affairs do you do? ”

She was confused, what the hell was going on?

"What is your son looking at?" Qin Huanli replied to her angrily: "Didn't he find it himself, the nine girls of the family." ”

"Yun Jiao?" Zhao Zhongzhu was even more strange: "Didn't the master disagree?" Besides, my father and mother said lotus seeds, if you don't agree with lotus seeds, but marry Yunjiao, I'm afraid this is a little unreasonable......"

She doesn't want to kiss and kiss, and her sister-in-law's family is not a safe child.

But this matter is not something she can decide, even if there is a lot of whispering in her heart, she can only endure it.

Saying it, not only does it not work, but it also makes Qin Huanli unhappy.

"It's the meaning of the official." Qin Huanli sighed heavily.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Zhongzhu was stunned: "How could the official family know about this?" ”

"It's not a good thing that your son did, the official called me over and said it." Qin Huanli looked at the front expressionlessly: "I said that the girl in the family, she didn't have to pick everything about her appearance and intelligence, and she said that the wind was not small, so she should do it, don't delay the girl." ”

"That'...... The lord agreed? Zhao Zhongzhu looked at him cautiously.

"What if you don't say yes? The officials all spoke. Qin Huanli got up and flicked his sleeves: "I'll go to my father's place and say, you have to get ready tightly, since it is the official family who speaks, this matter can't be pushed away." ”

"Okay." Zhao Zhongzhu agreed.

The Qin family, the northernmost side of the courtyard wall on the east side, is a simple small courtyard, and the courtyard gate is wide open.

"Dad, mother." Qin Huanli walked into the courtyard gate.

Old lady Qin was hoeing grass in the garlic field at the door, his expression looked a little serious, he didn't like to laugh, and when he saw his son coming, he didn't see a little joy, but he just agreed.

His temperament is a little eccentric, and when people return to their hometowns, they all buy a house and enjoy their old age in peace.

But he prefers to live in a simple yard and farm the land by himself, and no matter how many times the children of the family persuade him, he just doesn't listen.

Even with Old Madam Qin, she followed him to suffer and suffer, and there could be no complaints.

Old Madam Qin was cutting leeks under the eaves, she was not tall, she had a round face, her face was full of ravines of time, and she looked a little kind.

Hearing Qin Huanli's voice, she immediately raised her head: "Why are you free at this time?" ”

"I have something to say to the second elder." Qin Huanli walked under the eaves and turned around and called, "Dad, you come back first,"

Old lady Qin walked back with a hoe: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's Feng'er's family business, I'll talk to your second elder." Qin Huanli thought about how to speak.

"What? Settled? Are you planning to ask for Lian'er? Old Madam Qin couldn't help but ask.

"It's not." Qin Huanli shook his head.

"How not?" Old Madam Qin was puzzled: "These days, I haven't heard of where Feng'er goes to see each other, where is there a girl next to her?" ”

"Don't ask." Old lady Qin suddenly lowered his face: "My own children, don't know the roots, you have to go outside to find it, we don't care about it." ”

"Dad, it's not that I don't want lotus seeds, you know Feng'er's child......" Qin Huanli explained in a hurry.

"Don't say it, we don't want to hear it, and we don't want to ask, it has nothing to do with us if you look for whichever one you like." Old lady Qin waved her hand again and again as she spoke: "Let's go, let's go, don't appear in front of me." ”

He had a breath in his heart.

He usually only asks about this son, and they almost never care about the big and small affairs in the family.

At the beginning, when Qin Nanfeng had an accident, they were also sad for a while, and finally this person came back, and their youngest daughter, who was Qin Nanfeng's little aunt, said that they came along.

and also withdrew the family affairs that Lianzi was originally going to set, and the child wanted to marry him wholeheartedly.

The two old men pondered that it would be better for their cousins to be relatives, so they agreed with their mouths.

But who expected, Qin Nanfeng refused to nod.

Qin Huanli also said when he came back that he nodded when he was going to fight, but this time he changed his hexagram.

How did he explain to his youngest daughter? He hasn't opened his mouth for many years, he can't do this thing, and he won't give him such a little face.

What else is he doing with this son?

"Dad, it's not up to me to call the shots." Qin Huanli had a bitter face.

"My son's family affairs have always been Lao Tzu's final say, you four brothers and sisters, which family affairs are not my decision?

It's not that you have the final say, but can he say it himself? "Old Man Qin didn't believe anything.

"This is what the official family meant, I just came back from the palace, and the official family is talking outside of it, so let me do the family affairs earlier." Qin Huanli sighed: "I don't agree either, but isn't it impossible?" ”

"What does the official mean? The official family gave marriage? Old Lady Qin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.

"Not really." Qin Huanli shook his head: "However, the official family called me over, and the meaning has been obvious." ”

"Official, how can you mention this for no reason?" After all, Old Lady Qin has also been in the court for many years, so she is naturally not easy to fool.

Don't look at his age, he can be very organized in his work.

"Feng'er came to me in the morning." Speaking of this, Qin Huanli was a little unhappy: "When he came to talk about getting married, I didn't nod, and he left without saying anything."

It is estimated that he said it to the official. ”

"It's a bit too much to say, how can the official family help him speak?" Old Lady Qin still felt that this was not credible.

"Then I don't know what method he used, that's what the left and right officials told me." Qin Huanli sighed: "Now you have to agree if you don't agree." ”

And not only must it be done, but it must also be done lively, otherwise it will be a protest, who can afford this crime?

"Since it's the intention of the official, let's do it." Old lady Qin was still a little unhappy, but she also knew that her son couldn't help himself.

Since it is the meaning of the official family, then he has to give his youngest daughter an explanation.

"Whose girl are you talking about? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? Old Madam Qin asked a little strangely.

"It's the ninth girl of the family, he followed his uncle outside, and he has known this girl since he was a child." Qin Huanli was a little unwilling when he said it.

"The nine girls of the family?" Old Lady Qin looked thoughtful.

Old Madam Qin looked at him: "Have you ever heard of it?" ”

"Isn't that a concubine?" Old lady Qin thought about it carefully: "There are three descendants in his family, I don't know how many are the oldest, but the ninth is definitely not a descendant." ”

"It really wasn't a descendant." Qin Huanli's face was displeased: "The person who speaks of joy is not a righteous and not evil person in the first place, and he is also used to using some unacceptable means in the officialdom.

A few days ago, I invited someone to give this nine girls and her mother-in-law a reputation, saying that the girl's dead mother-in-law was the wife, and she was degraded to a concubine at the beginning.

She naturally became a concubine. ”

"And such a thing?" Old Madam Qin was surprised for a while: "Then such a person can still be a parent?" ”

"I don't think it's a good person." Qin Huanli sighed: "But if the official family speaks, we can only do it." ”

"Then you can go." Old Lady Qin knew that she didn't blame him, so she waved her hand and sent him away.

"Then I'll go, don't take this matter to heart, as for the little sister, I will make amends with her, a girl with such a good lotus seed will definitely have a good home." Qin Huanli knew that his father didn't like it in his heart, so he said a few more words.

"I can say it myself, I don't need you, you can go." Old lady Qin carried the hoe to the garlic field again.

Qin Huanli said to the old mother, and then turned around and walked out of this simple small courtyard.

……

And after Zhao Zhongzhu left, he asked people to call Qin Nanfeng.

"Mother, do you have something to do with me?" When Qin Nanfeng came to the door, he sat down casually, pinched the fruit on the table and ate it.

"I don't wash my hands, I just eat like that." Zhao Zhongzhu glared at him.

"I just came back and washed it." Qin Nanfeng swallowed the dim sum in his mouth and opened his mouth to distinguish it.

"You have a sense of everything." Zhao Zhongzhu also couldn't do anything about him: "Let me ask you, did you go to the official family and let the official family find your father?" ”

"That's right." Qin Nanfeng also did not deny it: "I looked for my father first, but his old man refused to nod, so I naturally had to find another way." ”

"Something else for you." Zhao Zhongzhu patted him: "Your father is angry, he didn't agree with you and Yunjiao, otherwise, he wouldn't have nodded until now." ”

"I married him, but he didn't marry." Qin Nanfeng didn't care and took another bite of the snack.

"Now that there is an official family, he naturally agreed, but he is not satisfied with this daughter-in-law in his heart, I am afraid that I will enter the door in the future, and there will be other things." Zhao Zhongzhu was worried.

She is a thoughtful person, and even if she encounters the slightest trivial matter, she will be unable to sleep all night.

Now that Qin Huanli was not satisfied with such a big event, she had no idea, so she called her son over to ask.

"Later, I'll talk about it later." Hearing this, Qin Nanfeng smiled, compared to the wrist, Daddy is probably not Xiao Jiu's opponent.

He's not worried.

"That's all there is to it now." Zhao Zhongzhu sighed.

"Mother, can you not always be sad? I got married, and it was a great joy. Qin Nanfeng threw the remaining half of the dim sum on the table.

"You kid, why don't you eat half of it?" Zhao Zhongzhu glanced at it and couldn't help asking.

"It's so sweet, it's greasy, and it's dry." Qin Nanfeng picked up the teacup and took a bite.

"Eat it." Zhao Zhongzhu picked up half a piece of dim sum and put it in his hand: "This is all bought with silver, and it can't be wasted." ”

She has always been diligent and thrifty, and she refuses to spend half a copper coin in vain.

"How much silver is this piece of dim sum worth?" Qin Nanfeng couldn't laugh or cry a little.

"Eat it, I'm looking at you." Zhao Zhongzhu urged him.

Qin Nanfeng had no choice but to take another bite.

Zhao Zhongzhu saw that he was obedient, so he continued: "Your father just came to say, and the family affairs are ready."

This matchmaker, which one do you say please? ”

"Naturally, please the best." Qin Nanfeng said naturally.

"The best, the best is Mrs. Guo, please get it too." Zhao Zhongzhu wanted to sigh again, but remembered his son's words and held back stiffly.

"Mrs. Guo? Isn't it a baby boy? Qin Nanfeng suddenly became interested: "Why don't you go and ask my mother, if she refuses to come, doesn't that mean that I will give birth to a daughter in the future?" ”

He was really a little nervous, and he didn't know if his first child with Xiao Jiu was a boy or a girl?

"No, no." Zhao Zhongzhu refused: "If you don't invite her, there is still some hope, if you don't invite her, the first child will definitely be a girl." ”

"So what?" Qin Nanfeng took another bite of the sweet greasy snack, he didn't care about boys and girls, as long as it was given to him by Xiao Jiu, he liked it.

"What's the matter, you want your daughter so much?" Zhao Zhongzhu really hates iron and steel: "It's not that you don't know, your father likes boys." ”

"Really?" Qin Nanfeng showed an incredible look: "After so many years, why haven't I seen how much he likes me?" ”

"He's all in his heart, where do you know, and I can't tell you clearly." Zhao Zhongzhu glanced at him.

"Cut." Qin Nanfeng didn't believe it.

Zhao Zhongzhu didn't say any more, and turned the conversation again: "Guo Matchmaker is a first-class matchmaker, she still has some skills, and other first-class matchmakers are all in vain, and they have to make a lot of silver."

Otherwise, let's hire a second-class matchmaker, right? ”

She thinks that these are just according to the rules, and it doesn't matter how many matchmakers she is, as long as she doesn't invite a matchmaker, isn't it just a formality?

"That's not going to work." Qin Nanfeng swallowed the last bite of snack, took a bite of tea, put down the teacup when he heard the words, and his expression became solemn: "Mother, let me make it clear to you, I don't care about you how frugal you are on weekdays."

But my family, everything must be the best, and I will pay for the silver. ”

"Your money is also at home, can you save us a little?" Zhao Zhongzhu distinguished: "Besides, if you have silver left in your hand, you can buy whatever you want in the future, it's better than those matchmakers, right?" ”

"No, I can't say no." Qin Nanfeng was very resolute: "Mother, just tell me, can you do this?" If not, I'll go myself. ”

He thought in his heart that he had to find someone to keep an eye on his mother, otherwise she wouldn't know how to do something perfunctory.

"Why can't I, didn't I consult with you? And when you do, you will do as you say. Zhao Zhongzhu saw that there was no room for turnaround, so he had to agree.
