Chapter 48: Mutual Marriage
One dish after another was served on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the father and daughter began to talk about the affairs of Zhuangzi on the meal.
"Daddy, that Cao steward deceived and deceived the superiors! Selling flowers in the garden without permission and trying to kill me is really morally corrupt. Tang Chu gritted his teeth and said.
Tang Chu is still worried about this matter, but it's a pity that Cao Yong did it too quickly, and she didn't have time to catch the people behind the scenes.
Tang Fuchang's face was gloomy, and with a snap, he saw the chopsticks being slammed on the table.
"Cao Yong villain, brazen, he actually dared to hurt my Tang Fuchang's pearl, Chu Er is not afraid, Daddy will definitely punish him well when he turns around, and make him regret not being at the beginning." Tang Fuchang's eyes widened angrily, and he said angrily.
"Daddy! Mo was angry. Tang Chu said softly, and then motioned to Shuangxi with his eyes to get a new pair of chopsticks.
"That thief Cao Yong has already apologized with death." Tang Chu continued.
"Chu'er, but you ......" Tang Fuchang was stunned and looked at Tang Chu in disbelief.
"How could daddy's daughter be that kind of person, Cao Yong committed suicide, but it's really a bit boring." Tang Chu boldly reasoned.
"Chu'er, what do you mean?" Tang Fuchang asked.
Tang Chu shook his head, "Daddy, let's eat first." "I seem to have some scruples.
After eating, Tang Fuchang shielded the left and right, and came to the study with Tang Chu to discuss.
"My daughter suspects that there are spies sent by others in Zhuangzi, but I still don't know the intentions of the people behind the scenes." Tang Chu looked dazed.
Then, Tang Chu told Tang Fuchang all the things that had happened in Zhuangzi in the past few days.
Tang Fuchang was also puzzled, but he was well-informed after all, so he only heard Tang Fuchang continue, "No matter what they want, they will always show their feet after a long time, let's just tighten the inside and loosen the outside, and check slowly." ”
Tang Fuchang has been in business for many years, and there are many enemies in the mall, and for a while, he can't figure it out.
The father and daughter discussed for a while, and decided to strengthen the supervision of the Tang Mansion, maybe there were also enemies in the mansion.
In the end, Tang Fuchang said meaningfully, "Chu'er, if there is someone who can take care of you for your father, you don't have to wade into this troubled water!" ”
"Daddy, my daughter is the only heir of the Tang family, and she should share the blessings and misfortunes with you!" Tang Chu seemed to be taking an oath, his eyes were firm, and his tone was heavy.
Tang Fuchang didn't say anything more, just let out a long sigh.
That night, Tang Chu personally cooked a lot of his favorite dishes for Tang Fuchang, and the father and daughter said a lot of intimate words, and finally they were drunk.
Two days later, the Zheng family in Jiangzhou City suddenly sent someone to visit, and heard Shuangxi say that the person who came was a famous matchmaker in Jiangzhou City, and she was very good at speaking, which contributed to many fairy couples.
"Miss, this matchmaker must have come to propose marriage for someone else, so you don't wonder who that person is at all." Shuangxi asked suspiciously.
Tang Chu was choosing jewelry, she was dazzling in the dressing mirror, and she had a heroic spirit.
Covering his cheeks, his delicate skin was fair and shiny, Tang Chu couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of youth.
Hearing Shuangxi's inquiry, Tang Chu replied unhurriedly, "I told my father a long time ago that I only care about business now, and I will talk about marriage later." ”
"Then do you want the slave to inquire and see if that man is enough to match my young lady?" Double Happiness said with some eagerness.
"I think you're just gossiping, okay, go ahead, don't expose yourself." Tang Chu shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, I'll tell you when the slave comes back." As soon as the words fell, Shuangxi ran out of Tang Chu's boudoir with a smoke.
"Well, let her go." Tang Chu didn't care much about the marriage proposal, and she wouldn't marry now.
In the front hall, Tang Fuchang was entertaining guests.
The matchmaker was dressed very festively, and her red and willow green clothes almost stunned Tang Fuchang's eyes, like a matchmaker of her level, doing the business of rich and noble families, dressed with natural bells and whistles, very gorgeous.
"Master Tang, the Zheng family is in the silk business, and it is also one of the few families in Jiangzhou City, and this Zheng Gongzi is also a good hand at doing business.
The matchmaker drank a sip of hot tea, and began to praise Zheng Gongzi with a river, of course, she did not leave Tang Chu behind, and often went in and out of the rich and noble, she still couldn't miss this basic truth.
Tang Fuchang listened to the matchmaker's details, and said that the matchmaker's mouth was a deceitful ghost, and sure enough, many things were exaggerated.
Tang Chu has already been angry with Tang Fu in advance, no matter who the other party mentioned, don't listen to it, she only wants to carry forward Tang Ji Commercial Bank now, and has no intention of having children.
But Tang Fuchang didn't think so, although his daughter was no longer obsessed with Zou Shiyan, but her daughter's family would marry sooner or later, if she would become an old girl in two years, then the good son-in-law would be picked away.
Coughing lightly, Tang Fuchang said, "I have also seen the son of the Zheng family, and he is indeed handsome, but the little girl has been managing the family business recently, and she has no intention of marrying." ”
The matchmaker did her best to praise the man, and even said that Tang Chu and the Zheng family's son said how made in heaven, talented and beautiful, could not be more suitable, Tang Fuchang did not listen to the matchmaker's words, but this Zheng family He also knew that there had been a transaction with the Zheng family when the ready-to-wear shop purchased goods before.
Zheng Gongzi has seen him, he is frank and graceful, he is indeed a good son, and it is suitable to match his own daughter.
Seeing that Tang Fuchang was unmoved, the more the matchmaker spoke, the more excited she became, and finally threw out a heavy bomb.
"Don't worry, Master Tang, business is not a problem, so the Zheng family is willing to "marry each other", what do you think? ”
"Oh? Mutual marriage? Tang Fuchang stroked the wrench of his thumb, and his mind was racing.
He had heard of this "mutual marriage", and it was also a new way of marriage that had emerged in recent years, when he was just a novelty, but he didn't expect that this word would one day fall on his own family.
"Yes, it's "mutual marriage", Master Tang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how many people are willing to marry in this way, you have to think twice! Seeing Tang Fuchang pondering, the matchmaker made persistent efforts and said.
The Zheng family is actually willing to marry each other!
The so-called "mutual marriage" means that after the man and woman get married, the woman can spend half of the time in her mother-in-law's house and half of the time in her mother's house, and the business in the family can still continue to operate, which means that the woman is still independent.
Although this practice is not allowed in the family of eunuchs and scholars, many merchants are very respected because of their interests, especially those who have only one child in the family, and the business of the two families needs to be maintained, and mergers can always cause disputes.
Tang Fuchang was very moved after hearing this, but he didn't say anything, and only said to the matchmaker, "I'll think about it, the little girl is young, and Tang wants to keep her for a few more years." ”
